BAND HOPES SUN SHINES ON SOLAR PROJECT SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

The Upper Nicola Indian Band will put to referendum a decision on whether to sign over land for the development of a solar farm and other projects to be determined. In partnership with Fortis, which the band chose after assessing 29 requested proposals, the development arm of Upper Nicola is looking to use

200 acres of reserve land to build a 15-megawatt solar farm that would provide enough electricity to power 5,000 homes. The project is expected to cost between $30 million and $40 million and include 56,000 solar modules. If approved by the band’s 480 eligible voters in the April 16 referendum, a final investment decision would be made in November. If it is a go, construction would start in March 2019 and the project would be connected to the

grid in October 2019. If constructed, the project would be the largest solar installation in the province, dwarfing the current largest in Kimberley, a one-megawatt project built at the site of the former Sullivan Mine. In Alberta, where the government is pushing for more renewable energy projects, the largest solar facility is in Brooks — a 17-megawatt installation completed in December 2017 with a budget similar to the proposed Upper Nicola project.

Upper Nicola Development Corporation CEO Peter Hilton said that under the Indian Act, before private development can begin, band land must be transferred to the development corporation. The referendum will seek permission from band members to do so. Splitting costs and revenues evenly with Fortis, Hilton said he is expecting revenue of about $2 million each per year, with a break-even point

of roughly 11 years. While Hilton said BC Hydro has committed to buying electricity generated by the solar power plant, rates are still being negotiated. The project, which is approximately 50 minutes driving distance south of Kamloops, is expected to last 40 years, though Hilton said some panels may need to be replaced sooner as they lose their effectiveness.

The for lease sign has been hung on the Seymour Street office that once housed mining company KGHM Ajax. The firm’s proposed open-pit Ajax mine south of Kamloops was rejected by the provincial government in December following years of planning by the proponent and protests by opponents. The closure of the downtown office follows layoffs that came after the mining application died. Calls to KGHM’s offices in Kamloops, on Burrard Street in Vancouver and in Vaughn, Ont., were all met with a recording that said, “Welcome to DMC Mining Services.” DAVE EAGLES/KTW

By the time ski season is in full swing next winter, Sun Peaks Resort expects to have much-needed, multi-million-dollar enhancements in place. Canada’s second-largest ski area is investing upwards of $13 million in developments in 2018, highlighted by a new chairlift earmarked for the east village and a makeover of its 221 rooms in the Sun Peaks Grand Hotel and Conference Centre. Both projects are expected to be complete by December. The chairlift project is expected to cost about $4 million and the hotel renovations are tabbed at $7 million, all of which is being funded by the company that owns the resort. Sun Peaks chief marketing officer Aidan Kelly said that while the number of users doesn’t support the need for a new chairlift, the project is required to provide better access to the main village core from the east village, which is seeing a lot of new development. “It’ll open up new routes for those folks to the [main] village and then provide some better access to existing ski terrain that we already have that’s a little trickier to get to without this lift in place,” Kelly said.

The change to the hotel rooms will include new furniture, artwork and flooring, he said. “That’ll bring it up to have a bit more of a modern, contemporary feel while still keeping the rustic appeal of the location,” he said. No additional rooms are being added to the hotel as the renovation is all about improving the experience for visitors. Other capital projects the company is investing in include enhancing its Sundance Express chairlift and purchasing two new Sno-Cat machines to groom the runs. The Sundance Express is the busiest chairlift in the resort and will get a 30 per cent capacity increase next year through the addition of new chairs on the line. In total, the company is investing about $13 million in the resort in 2018, which is in addition to a $7-million multi-purpose indoor facility the resort municipality announced it will build by 2020. All told, there is about $60 million worth of new development ongoing at the local ski resort — $40 million of which is connected to ongoing real estate construction. The Village Walk townhomes are expected to be completed by next winter and Echo Landing will break ground in the east village

in a few weeks and should be complete in a couple of years, Kelly said. “There’s plenty of room to be growing and developing the resort in different ways and we want to do that through growing the bed base here, so these two projects are a really good start towards that,” Kelly said. The number of skiers has seen constant improvement over the last three seasons at Sun Peaks and Kelly said they are closing in on another record-breaking year. “We had two years in a row of recordbreaking numbers,” he said. Sun Peaks saw about 360,000 skier visits in 2015-2016 and broke the record last year with 390,000 skier visits in 2016-2017. The resort has never hit the 400,000 mark, but that white whale may be caught before the 2017-2018 season comes to a close as the numbers sit well north of 350,000 with a few big events to come. “We’ve got a few weeks left in the season, but a couple of good ones with the Easter long weekend this weekend, next week we have the big Snowbombing international music festival and then we have our closing weekend, so there’s plenty of excitement to get us to the finish line,” Kelly said. He said he’s optimistic the resort will set another record year in skier visits this season.

Steelhead are the fish falling through the cracks SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

The future doesn’t look good for the steelhead trout that traverse the Thompson and Chilcotin rivers. Fisheries and Oceans Canada said the stocks have dramatically declined over the last three generations and are down approximately 80 per cent, to the lowest levels on record. On Feb. 13, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (an advisory body to the government, assessed the Thompson River and Chilcotin steelhead as endangered and recommended an emergency order to place the fish on the endangered list under the federally controlled Species at Risk Act. Prior to that recommendation, however, B.C. Federation of Fly Fishers secretary Greg Gordon started a petition in December to do the same thing. The petition is available for signatures until April 14. Once it has run its course, Gordon is hoping its sponsor, Coquitlam MP Fin Donnelly, will present it in the House of Commons and prompt Minister of Environment Catherine McKenna to respond. The dwindling steelhead numbers are a result of a number of issues that have been compounding for more than a decade. One of the issues is bycatch — the incidental catching of one type of fish while targeting another. In this case, steelhead are caught in the ocean or rivers while commercial and First Nations fisheries target Pacific salmon. Another issue is climate change — stream water levels

fall while temperatures rise and we see more droughts and flooding, so the environment for the fish who do make it back to the Interior isn’t one in which they are easily able to survive. Mike Simpson, Thompson region senior manager with the Fraser Basin Council, told KTW that steelhead is “the fish that has fallen between the cracks.” The Fraser Basin Council facilitates discussion on sustainability issues between stakeholders like government, First Nations and private groups. In this case, Simpson has put himself in the middle of a complex issue in which multiple levels of government and multiple First Nations are involved trying to find a solution. Simpson said Fisheries and Oceans Canada gave responsibility of steelhead to the provincial government, but Victoria only manages the freshwater aspects of the fish. However, because steelhead behave like salmon and swim to the ocean, they are vulnerable there. Fisheries and Oceans Canada normally manages fish in the ocean, but Simpson said they aren’t a primary species on which the department focuses. Simpson has been working on steelhead since 2014, but there’s been concern about the fish for decades. In the 1980s, each of the two stocks peaked at more than 3,000 fish — what the provincial government classified as an abundance — but each of the stocks has spent much of the last 10 years at the “conservation concern” level. The situation is now even more dire, with both the Thompson steelhead and

Chilcotin steelhead listed as “extreme conservation concern” by the province, with fewer than 200 Thompson steelhead and fewer than 50 Chilcotin steelhead returning. “Collectively, we’ve done this to steelhead,” Simpson said. “We should think about the cumulative effects of a lot of our other management decisions and figure out if we value them and what we can do to bring them back.” Other groups have stepped in to take action. Earlier this month, the Tsilhqot’in First Nation announced a full closure of the steelhead fisheries “due to immediate threat.” The Outdoor Recreation Council of B.C. also put steelhead rivers at the top of its biennial endangered rivers list. “Economically this fishery is very important. It used to attract sport fishermen from all over the world,” Gordon said. “I tended to go to the same area of the river. You tend to get quite intimate with that piece of water — you know where fish should be and, when they’re not there, alarm bells start to go off.” Gordon, who started fishing for steelhead in the 1970s said those alarm bells started going off 20 years ago. A recent proposal by Fisheries and Oceans Canada is to implement a “rolling window closure” for the times and areas where steelhead will be present in fishing channels. For the Thompson River, that would mean that downstream of the confluence, no fishing would be permitted from Oct. 12 to Oct. 31, with the steelhead closure overlapping with the existing coho salmon closure.

The business case for the project makes sense to Hilton, who said the funds will go toward creating better health and education options for the band. But he said there are also ideological reasons for the project. “I think, not just me, but the whole band feels that fossil fuel is 20th-century energy and renewable energy such as solar is 21st-century energy. And if we’re going to help our planet, we need to move into a new energy,” he said. Hilton said the band could have signed a mutual-benefit agreement with Kinder Morgan, the company that is twinning its Trans Mountain pipeline through the region, as some other municipalities, universities and organizations have done. In October, KTW reported that the T’kemlups Indian Band had reached a $3-million benefit agreement with Kinder Morgan. The band did not publicly discuss the deal. “We decided not to go that route,” Hilton said. While the solar farm will occupy only 200 acres of land, the referendum will seek 400 acres of reserve land in total. Hilton said the other 200 acres will be used for future developments. He mentioned a housing project, restaurant or casino as possible uses, but noted there aren’t any business plans yet. Two public meetings are planned for early April. The first, at 5 p.m. on Thursday, April 5, will be held in the Upper Nicola Community Health Services Building. A second will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Monday, April 9, at the Merritt Civic Centre. Voting will take place on Monday, April 16, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. at the Upper Nicola Community Health Services Building. Mail-in ballots will also be available through the Upper Nicola Indian Band office, which can be reached by phone at 250-350-3342.

Pet sounds at university may soon be scratched DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

Pets may not be welcome at Thompson Rivers University much longer. A draft animal/pet policy is being circulated that would require any animals on university grounds to be restrained by a leash or carrier. No animals would be allowed inside TRU buildings, vehicles or facilities. Exempt would be animals used for research and teaching or otherwise owned by the university, those in the animalhealth program, service animals, demonstration animals (including therapy dogs) and police dogs. Tom Friedman, president of the TRU Faculty Association, said the proposed policy has received various responses. Some faculty members have told him they take their dogs with them to their office to keep them company and ensure they can get a walk outside during the day, while others feel animals should not be brought to work

or into classrooms. Pets are currently prohibited from being in student housing on campus. At The Reach, the university village project now under construction, the condominiums will have strata bylaws or rental agreements in place addressing animals that prospective buyers will be given before deciding to buy or rent. Creston House, the first such residential complex on campus, allows pets in some circumstances, said Chantelle Stone, marketing and communications manager for The Reach. Darshan Lindsay, executive communications officer at TRU, said the university is aware the issue is sensitive to people and said enough time will be taken to “ensure we’ve thoughtfully considered feedback received thus far.” Lindsay said TRU recognizes there are people who enjoy bringing their pet to work, as well as those who have concerns for their personal health and safety. The draft has been circulated

Meet Taylor

on campus for feedback before it moves through the approval process. Administration is contacting other universities to determine what kind of policies they have in place. The University of British Columbia does not have a university-wide policy, its mediarelations department wrote in an email to KTW, but leaves the decision to each department on whether it is appropriate for pets to be brought to work. UBC departments must consider whether employees have allergies “or other conditions that would make pets problematic.” The University of Victoria, however, only allows guide dogs and service dogs on university grounds. Those who need a service or therapy dog must be classified under the university’s employment accommodation, academic accommodation or access for students with disabilities policies. Animals used for research are also excluded from the policy at UVic.

BE RICHER — DON’T TEXT AND DRIVE

s the March campaign against distracted driving comes to an end, the numbers coming out of Kamloops should make heads shake. ICBC statistics show that, on average, 78 people die every year in crashes where distracted driving is a contributing factor. The ticket for such an offence — now adding up to $368 and four penalty points when caught the first time — were handed out in Kamloops and across B.C. during a targeted campaign this month. Mounties are always finding new ways of catching offenders all over the province — and, in Kamloops, it can be as easy as running into the person you ticketed less than an hour before. Police in Kamloops issued 74 tickets for distracted driving (plus many more tickets for other violations) while set up at five locations in March. This past Tuesday, a Kamloops motorist was busted twice in a 45-minute span, racking up $1,400 in fines when demerit points are factored into the penalties. Certainly, there will be those who will argue against such enforcement. Some will suggest police should be going after the “real criminals” — the ones who have been breaking into cars and homes. Others will claim they are no more distracted making a call or sending a text than drivers who are simply sipping coffee or chatting with a passenger. For practical evidence that distracted driving is a real issue of real concern — rather than simply reading statistics — we suggest detractors take a walk down a busy street. One usually doesn’t have to venture far to spot a driver who is more engaged with personal communication or activity than with the rules of the road. The solution is simple: put down the phone, or get off the road. That choice is free. If you let the police make the decision for you, it will cost. Even then, the fine is a far cheaper price to pay than that of a human life.

Getting to the finer point

hen I first saw the needle pierce the skin, I was shocked. The second time I saw the thumb push down on the syringe, I felt sorry for the drug user. The third, fourth, seventh, 11th times? The scene became visual white noise. As I drive to work, I often see two specific doorways downtown used as shooting galleries by addicts. It becomes a commuting metronome: stop for coffee, cross the bridge, merge into the right lane as the road becomes a one-way route, glance to the right to see the needle enter the arm, stop for a red light, take a sip of coffee, drive a block and glance again to the right to see another needle puncture the skin, turn right and head up the hill to work. The scenario repeats itself a few times a week and those and other scenes of open drug use downtown and on the North Shore have only increased in the 18 months that I have been commuting from the North Shore since moving across the river from Aberdeen. It has reached the point where the shocking is now the norm and I do not expect anything to improve anytime soon as the measures being taken are obviously not working. Short of government buying a site like Tranquille or the old Ministry of Transportation buildings at Columbia and Sixth

and turning them into mandatory detox sites, we should simply adjust to this not-so-new reality. A byproduct of this addiction problem, of course, is the detritus of needles littering the landscape. As reported by KTW this week, one of those discarded used needles found its way into the body of a 12-year-old Westmount kid who was only trying to do a good deed and rid his neighbourhood of the scourge. As his family awaits medical tests to determine if he caught any diseases, the boy’s father, Jeff Arlitt, has started a petition to compel health authorities to hand out retractable syringes to addicts. As of Thursday, 602 people had signed on to his effort — and the proof that Kamloops is awash in used needles can be found in the comments on the petition site. Here is one of many similar comments: “We live within a

block of the downtown site and there are needles everywhere, including behind our back fence. ASK Wellness and the city simply cannot keep up. “We always have to watch where we walk and I think it’s ridiculous to expose taxpaying citizens to this risk on a daily basis. Downtown didn’t used to be this unsafe and there are three large day cares within a three-block radius. Kids and needles is a terrible idea. There needs to be a better way!” Some have also called for a needle-exchange program (in which users need to bring back a used needle before they get a new syringe). Arlitt’s idea has merit and is not without precedent, with Ottawa and Charleston, W. Va., among cities handing out retractable needles to drug users. While the Canadian Paediatric Society has reaffirmed a 2008 study that shows contracting a blood-borne infection from a discarded needle is low, it is still possible and there have been cases in which a needle on the ground has transmitted hepatitis B and C to a victim. At a minimum, there should be roving teams regularly scouring streets, parks and riverbanks for discarded needles. It should not be left to moms and dads to report the various caches of the dangerous debris — often just after their kid almost stepped on a needle. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

RECENT STAY AT HOSPITAL AN EYE-OPENER

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online

Editor: Imagine the prospect of spending 17 days getting lost in the depths of a health-care institution that is typically characterized as an “overburdened,” “inefficient” and “impersonal” systemic monster. Fortunately, because I was admitted to Royal Inland Hospital on an emergency basis, I had no time to whip myself into an anxiety-ridden state of panic over what would become an extended stay. There is no doubt the healthcare system is bending and creaking under the pressure of

RE: STORY: JOBS MINISTER TAKES TECH TOUR IN KAMLOOPS:

escalating demands and costs. And there is no doubt that at the personal level, this can result in frustrations for patients, their families and hospital staff. Given this state of affairs, it is even more admirable that the quality of care is so impressive. During the course of my stay, I experienced interactions with staff in many different capacities — food services, pharmacists, care-aides, nurses, doctors and technologists. What became clear was that I was in the midst of a caring community in which the collective goal was not only to progres-

sively move people along a path back to a state of good physical health, but as importantly, to nurture an emotional strength necessary to light that path. Nurses in particular are on the front lines of situations where patients are often in vulnerable states both physically and emotionally. Their caring, responsive and positive approach created a highly supportive environment. They took the time to connect with the patients on a personal level and to listen to their concerns and questions. It was wonderful to see this

approach extended into their roles as mentors for the up and coming TRU nursing students on practicums. Yes, our health-care system needs to continuously explore new and better ways to grow with the needs of a rapidly aging demographic, but on a personal level, we could not be more fortunate to be under the caring, guiding hands of those who are working so hard to keep a struggling system afloat — and doing so with such a committed and positive approach. Steve Powrie Kamloops

IF A TREE FALLS IN SAHALI, WILL THE CITY SEE THE STUMP? Editor: Spring is here and most of us are thinking of planting and gardening. We love trees and think it is a great idea to “increase the over all canopy within the city,” as city parks planner Mike Doll, stated in a Dec. 21 KTW article (‘Kamloops to create new tree-protection bylaw’). Doll was also quoted as saying “there will be a process for dealing with hazardous trees.” We used to have three trees on city land next to our property in Lower Sahali. On a windy evening in June 2016, one of the trees came crash-

To read more letters, turn to Page A10 ing down. We, along with some neighbours, managed to pull the tree off the road. We notified the city and a crew arrived promptly the next day to chop it up and haul it away. We were told they would return later to grind the stump. A couple of months later, we contacted the city by phone and email, enquiring when they would be by to take care of the stump.

No action was taken by the city to deal with the tree. The stump remains. At the time the first tree fell, my husband pointed out to the crew a second tree that was looking unwell. The bark was peeling and the trunk was cracking. He asked if perhaps that tree should also be cut down before it fell over. We heard nothing back from the city. On a windy evening in June 2017 that tree also fell over, crushing the roof and shattering the windows of a friend’s car. The city crew was prompt in arriving to chop up the tree and remove it that evening.

The car was dealt with through ICBC. It was interesting to note ICBC did not find the city liable for the damage caused by the tree. By the way, the second stump also remains. We would love to have another tree there, but we are not sure if the city has plans for that. The point of this letter is to say, yes, it is great that the city wants to plant more trees, but it needs to take responsibility for their maintenance and for when the trees damage property.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ARE THEY TOO POOPED TO CLEAN IT UP? Editor: Since moving to Kamloops six months ago, I have been disgusted by the amount of dog feces on roads and sidewalks and tossed over fences. My kids walk to school in the Aberdeen area and, since the first day of school, we have consistently seen piles of dog waste. Every time we’re out for a walk exploring our new neighborhood, I have to point out piles of feces for my kids to avoid stepping in. I have lived in many cities and have never seen such a gross disregard for

picking up after animals. It is blatant disrespect for neighbours, community and the city itself. Having dog feces strewn everywhere reflects very badly on the city. This is a health issue and is no different than people using the sidewalks and streets as toilets. Pet owners need to be held accountable and fined. Andrew Hall Kamloops Editor: I am writing about dogs and their

physically challenged and inconsiderate owners who walk them between Malahat Place and Garibaldi Drive alongside the reservoir in Sahali. They must be inconsiderate or they would pick up after their animals and they must also be physically challenged as they seem incapable of bending over to pick up their dog’s mess. It’s really quite disgusting. I can think of less flattering adjectives to describe these people, but it would in all probability be censored. Mike Hancock Kamloops

TEACHER AND NURSE NEED SOME EDUCATION Editor: Professionals are supposed to give quality care, but I have experienced the opposite. My grandson was humiliated and abused mentally and emotionally by a teacher. He was told he had a snotty nose. And when he was waving to mommy, the teacher turned him around by the shoulders. Later, she suggested he was autistic. She had no right to do that. She sin-

gled him out as he was quiet and shy. It was his first experience at school and the teacher broke his beautiful, bright, intelligent spirit. My grandson’s mom then changed his school. Another experience I had was with a nurse practitioner who could not communicate honestly. I had numerous tests and cholesterol pills were ordered. I then asked for another ECG and the nurse

would not approve it. The nurse claimed to have no time and that there were sicker people to treat. Professionals are to be there for patients and students. If they are incapable of being there, they should quit as no one deserves abuse. Lives are precious. It should not be about power and control. Iris Strickland Kamloops

Editor: Re: (‘City of Kamloops keeps focusing on sustainability,’ March 23): I applaud the city’s efforts to promote sustainability at Ribfest, where 2.1-tonnes of food waste was diverted to supply animal feed and compost. The city’s EcoSmart team also prevented an additional 160 kilograms of food waste, 150 kilograms of mixed recycling and 30 kilograms

of liquids from ending up at the dump. To put that in perspective, in 2017, the 150 residents of Park Place on Lorne Street diverted three tonnes of food waste from the landfill, producing two tonnes of compost on-site. All the compost goes into our award-winning flower beds. This was done with a handful of volunteers and at no cost to the city.

Imagine what a city of 90,000 people could do? It’s long past time the city started diverting all of its kitchen waste to composing and stopped filling the landfill with good organic material. A good start, City of Kamloops, but it is time to up your game.

Kamloops firefighters were kept busy on Thursday responding to numerous calls, including two blazes. LEFT: A firefighter douses a burning laundry basket of clothes that was pulled out of the closet of a Fleetwood Avenue home in Brocklehurst on Thursday morning. Kamloops Fire Rescue Capt. Wade Lindoff said crews were called to 2591 Fleetwood Ave. at about 10:30 a.m. for a report of a structure fire. Crews spotted smoke coming from an upstairs bedroom and Lindoff said firefighters quickly extinguished the blaze. Lindoff said he was not sure if the residents of the home will be displaced temporarily. “I’d think they’d probably not return to stay there tonight just due to the smoke and the odour,” he said. ABOVE: This parcel van was destroyed on Thursday morning while parked in the 200-block of Ord Road in Brocklehurst. There were no reported injuries and firefighters managed to put out fire in the vehicles and the flames that spread to nearby grass,. An investigation into the blaze continues.

City council approves zoning for Indigenous youth, elder complex JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Eyes were teary and hugs were plentiful. “I’m excited,” Natika Bock, Lii Michif Otipemisiwak’s Indigenous youth housing manager, told KTW. “I’m relieved.” Talk of Wednesday celebrations followed a rezoning application passed by Kamloops council on Tuesday night, paving way for an affordable housing complex designed for Indigenous youth and elders to be built in Brocklehurst. Council’s unanimous decision (Coun. Pat Wallace was absent) followed a lengthy packed and polarizing public hearing, which centred on an application to allow for 31 units to be built at 975 Singh St. instead of the 15 initially proposed. Tyrine Flunkiner is a youth representative on Lii Michif’s board of directors and knows first-hand challenges facing youth. “The issue we are tackling today is youth homelessness, specifically Aboriginal youth aging out of government care,” she said. “It’s not a challenge we can ignore.” Teunesha Evertse, project planner for M’akola Development Services, travelled to Kamloops from Victoria with project manager Bronwyn McLean to detail the business case behind the decision to increase the number of units. She said she has worked on the project for more than a year with Lii Michif and attributed viability to balancing the “hard and soft costs of development” with affordable rent for tenants. “We hit a sweet spot in 31,” Evertse said. Council chambers overflowed, with many people standing and filtering out into the lobby. Provincial representatives, neighbourhood residents, Lii Michif employees and community part-

ners also voiced their opinions. The city’s corporate officer, Maria Mazzotta, said the city received three pieces of correspondence opposing the application — one of which was a petition with nearly 125 signatures — three letters with concerns and 15 pieces of correspondence in support. Three letters of support offered more than 81 signatures. One resident, who refused to speak with KTW or provide her name after the meeting, spearheaded a petition to reject the application. She noted assisted housing already in the area. “This is definitely not a case of nimbyism,” she said. “It’s more a case of enough. You can’t continue to saturate us.” She also expressed concern about further densification and impacts on traffic and parking. Eric Beach, the city’s planning and development supervisor, told council nine stalls would suffice as per a bylaw outlining .25 stalls per unit for social housing. “They have 19 stalls,” Beach said. Prior land use would have allowed for 15 townhouses, which could have housed more residents than a complex comprised of bachelor units, council heard. The resident also accused Lii Michiif of having “no track record” for this size of project, but proponents lauded the “innovative” approach to helping Indigenous youth aging out of the foster system. A representative from the Aboriginal Housing Management Association, which manages Indigenous housing for the province, also travelled to Kamloops from the Lower Mainland for the hearing. Calling the project “important,” Sandra Eatmon said “innovative thinking and the courage to continue is required in order to achieve the challenges of our housing needs.” CMHA Kamloops branch executive director Christa Mullaly said

the current exit strategy for youth is to come to Emerald Centre, an adult shelter on West Victoria Street downtown operated by the CMHA. “They very soon become at risk,” she said. Chantelle Jones is a foster parent who volunteers at the Out of the Cold homeless shelter downtown. She lives in Brocklehurst and believes the housing project could revitalize the North Shore. “I don’t think this is going to cause our neighbourhood to be worse,” she said. “If anything, it’s going to give our youth the leg up that they need.” Other residents, however, disagreed. One suggested the project be geared at “everybody,” while another expressed concern about increased drug use in the area. Another resident worried about negative stigma that could impact property values. McLean stressed tenant selection will be careful and 24-hour support services will be provided. “There will be children in this building,” she said. “I can’t stress that enough.” Eatmon expressed confidence in Lii Michif. “They’re going to have a stable home, they’re going to have community support and I really see in my times that I’ve visited here, LMO has a strong Indigenous community there. Elders, people are very involved. It’s not going to just be a caretaker there. There’s housing support.” Mayor Ken Christian was convinced by the wrap-around services. Council voted unanimously to support the rezoning application and development permit. Construction is expected to begin this spring or early summer, with the facility set to open in 2019. The City of Kamloops is providing a 60-year-lease of the property at next to no cost, while funding from BC Housing is pegged at $3.9 million.

As soon as house sells, new top cop will arrive MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ next RCMP detachment commander hopes to be serving the community by the summer. Insp. Syd Lecky will be the next top cop at the Kamloops RCMP detachment, but no date has been set for him to assume command as he waits to sell his home in Terrace and purchase a new one in the Tournament Capital. “It’s very early in the transfer process. I’ve got homes to sell and buy and can’t predict that, unfortunately,” he told KTW, adding he hopes to be in Kamloops by the time his kids are out of school in June. Lecky said 90 days is what is typically aimed for when it comes to

transferring within the RCMP. “I do plan to be there as soon as I can, that’s for sure,” he said. The current superintendent of the Terrace RCMP is no stranger to moving around as the new job in Kamloops will be one of multiple transfers he has made during his 22-year career. While aware of some of the challenges facing Kamloops, such as property crime and the opioid crisis, Lecky said he is waiting to get his “boots on the ground” before setting his goals and priorities. “I have ideas, but until you get there, you get the feel of the community, you get the input from town council and the detachment members and see what everybody has to offer and share, then you try and create your vision,” Lecky said.

Lecky said he has had discussions with outgoing superintendent Brad Mueller about the job and hopes to be able to visit with him before Mueller departs for his new position with the RCMP in Alberta. “I know there are some challenges, but I also know with the challenges comes opportunity to try and do things differently,” Lecky said. Mueller, who is also in the process of selling his home, is still serving as Kamloops’ detachment commander. If he were to depart before Lecky is on the job, Insp. Todd Balaban will assume the role as acting officer in charge, Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW. Kamloops will be the largest detachment Lecky has managed. Once he starts the new

Season g n i n e p O ! l a i c e p S

job, he will be promoted to the rank of superintendent. A member of the Passamaquoddy Nation in the Maritimes, Lecky said he is looking forward to participating in community events and working with First Nations groups given his background in Aboriginal policing. “I’ve worked with Aboriginal communities all over and I have an appreciation and understanding of much of what brings us to where we are today,” Lecky said, noting that moving to Kamloops will be a good fit for his family. Lecky and his wife are the parents of three children — a daughter who is in her second year at UBCOkanagan, a son who will start at the Kelowna university in the fall and another son in high school — making Kamloops an ideal place to keep

the family close together. Knowing the Tournament Capital’s reputation for outdoor activities, Lecky said he is also looking forward to taking his pair of dogs out for walks on the city’s numerous trails and playing a bit of soccer. He is also a Rotarian and hopes to get involved with a local chapter. Though he has spent his career in various postings, Lecky plans to make Kamloops his home for many years. “The opportunity to be in charge of a detachment such as Kamloops is an opportunity of a lifetime for most of us that aspire to be detachment commanders,” he said. Lecky joined the RCMP in June 1996 and has worked in Kelowna, Gold River, Prince George, Mackenzie and Terrace.

Kamloops council has approved funding for professional consultation services to design a second reservoir in Valleyview. Construction is slated to begin next year on the $3.3-million initiative — dubbed the Twin Valleyview Reservoir Project — which will be located off Valleyview Drive in the hills behind Orchards Walk. The city identified a need to improve the provision of potable water due to existing demand and anticipated development, with the continued expansion of Orchards Walk. The new reservoir will be half the volume of an existing Valleyview reservoir next to Valleyview Arena on Highland Drive. The two reservoirs will work in tandem. “It’s a combination of fire storage, emergency storage and regular use,” City of Kamloops utilities engineer Liam Baker told council. Coun. Arjun Singh expressed concern about the city expanding its water services to meet the needs of a growing development. Baker said four or five locations were considered and the project is not solely based on growth. The project will also act as the first stop for water before it reaches Juniper Ridge, Barnhartvale, Campbell Creek and Dallas. “It does serve multiple purposes, but we do take growth into consideration when we increase water storage,” Baker said. Coun. Pat Wallace called it a “good idea” in light of last year’s wildfires.

Coun. Tina Lange asked whether residents will have continued access to the popular hiking area. Baker said the actual reservoir structure will be gated off. “Typically, we don’t want people running all over the infrastructure,” Baker said. “But we usually don’t fence it off other than the actual reservoir structure itself.” Lange also asked about the safety of building in a silt bluff zone. “We did look at that during predesign as well and it will take some extra measures,” Baker said. Coun. Denis Walsh asked why the reservoir couldn’t be built above Juniper to take advantage of gravity. Baker said reservoirs already exist in Juniper and noted the risk of increasing pressure on houses. “If you build a reservoir too high, for example, you both have to build your infrastructure to a much higher pressure capacity,” Baker said. “Pipes, pumps, everything like that. It also has a liability risk associated with it if there are failures. It can increase pressure on people’s houses that are unreasonable.” The city has identified 55 pressure zones and uses a so-called “daisy chain effect,” Baker explained, with water pumped from one reservoir to another. Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to award the consultation contract to ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. for $260,000. Once design work is completed, the project will go to tender later in the year, with construction expected in 2019. The project is in the five-year financial plan and is funded 75 per cent via borrowing and 25 per cent by development cost charges.

Firms speed-meet on RIH tower DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A recent gathering of a trio of major construction companies and 37 local firms bodes well for the city’s economy, said David Fowler, director of major capital redevelopment with Interior Health. Fowler said representatives of the three shortlisted companies to be chosen to build a patient-care tower at Royal Inland Hospital — EllisDon Infrastructure Healthcare (EllisDon Construction and

Building Services), Inter-River Healthcare Partners (Bird Construction) and Plenary Health (PCL Construction). — connected with each local team in a “speed-meeting” format. There, participants had 180 seconds to promote their companies, services and experience to the three firms being considered for the project. IH held the event in partnership with the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and the Southern Interior Construction Association. Association chief executive officer Jason Henderson said it

was a great opportunity for the association to connect its members to the teams vying to build the tower. “Facilitating these meetings could ultimately lead to contracting opportunities for our members and other small businesses in the region,” he said. Fowler has no doubt that will happen. IH held a similar meetand-learn session for a tower at the hospital in Penticton, noting “a lot of trades are working there now.” The three companies will finalize their proposals after some more meetings with IH

and submit those plans for evaluation in the summer. Construction is expected to begin in the fall, with the tower opening in 2022. The $417-million tower will include mental-health and medical/surgical beds, a surgical suite, a perinatal centre with labour and delivery rooms, obstetrics and postpartum beds and a neonatal intensive-care unit. It will have underground parking and a roof helipad. To follow the progress of the new patient-care tower, go online to buildingpatientcare. ca.

For the second time in a week, Kamloops Fire Rescue had to be dispatched to an area near the waterfalls in Peterson Creek for a rope rescue.

have never been a big fan of shopping. I get anxiety just thinking about spending hours going in and out of stores and wandering aimlessly through the aisles. Don’t get me wrong — I am experienced at spending money (locally, of course). I just go when I know what I need, then I get strategic about where I am going to buy it. My mom and sister, on the other hand, can actually head out “shopping” in the morning and return in the afternoon with only a couple of bags each to show for it. What the heck were they doing? Some people talk about shopping like it’s a treat. They even plan shopping trips. All of this shop talk occurred to me when I was talking to someone this week about what kind of person they were looking to meet. The answer surprised me. “I have no idea” they replied. “I think I’ll know when I meet them.” That was refreshing to hear. I appreciate some obvious things are important — you might want to date a non-smoker, someone who is healthy and respectful.

However, as for physical traits like hair, height, eye colour and shoe size, these things can’t possibly be ordered up ahead of time. I realize physical attraction is vital to begin a relationship, but for many couples, that special spark and chemistry came after really getting to know each other. I know some friends who go shopping together help each other decide what outfit looks great on them. They rely on each other for an honest perspective to help them see things differently. For example, maybe you have always worn jeans and a T-shirt, but if you considered trying on capris and a blouse, your friends might reassure you that you have made a good fashion choice.

thing by staying put and being able to call for help. The crew had to respond to the same rock face to rescue a male hiker last Saturday night, Lindoff told KTW. Lindoff said he wants to see people enjoying the park, but noted they run the risk of getting stuck in an unsafe situation if they choose to leave the trails and climb steep areas of Peterson Creek Park, which encompasses a 100-hectare (247acre) area with 30 kilometres of trails.

The same can be said for matchmaking. If you are open to trying on different outfits, you may find your choice is one you never thought you would take off the hanger in the first place. Every December, as the staff Christmas party approaches, I hear women in the office talk excitedly about going to look at new dresses for the occasion. Some plan to mix it up with a fancy formal gown, while others go for a more snazzy, sparkly, edgy outfit. Maybe you should be open to something that doesn’t look overly amazing on the hanger, but once you put it on, it’s surprisingly perfect. Or, you can do what I do each year when getting ready for the soiree — wear the previous year’s outfit. As much as I am not a fan of shopping for myself, I do have a great selection of matches for you to consider and they could very well be the perfect fit. If you are single and happy and would like a partner with whom to go shopping, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis.ca.

The motel’s front-desk clerk told court an armed man dressed in all black, his face masked, entered the lobby at about 10:15 p.m. on April 10, 2017, demanding cash. “He pointed the gun at my face,” Randall Stewart testified. “It was pretty obvious what was going on and I pointed out to him where the register was.” Stewart said the robber grabbed about $90 from the till before ordering him to a back room.

the robber fled through a back door. Patterson-Coulter took the stand in his own defence, telling court he lent his clothes to a drug dealer named Ben moments before the robbery.

Patterson-Coulter was staying at Royal Inland Hospital at the time, receiving treatment for a shoulder injury, and video surveillance at RIH shows him tying a scarf around his face while leaving a few minutes

before the robbery. Patterson-Coulter said he had been prescribed opiates by doctors at RIH and began using heroin when the prescription ran out. He claimed Ben offered him $20 for the use of his clothes, money he later used to buy drugs. Patterson-Coulter’s clothes on RIH surveillance match what was captured by video cam-

eras at the motel. “The court is being asked to accept the notion that Mr. Patterson-Coulter bypassed the motel, walked to Ben’s house and exchanged clothes with him, all within a span of eight minutes,” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley said. “While it might be possible that all of it occurred in eight minutes, I conclude it is highly unlikely.” Dley found PattersonCoulter guilty on all counts. Lawyers will return to court on April 9 to set a date for sentencing. He remains free on bail.

Trip in Salmon Arm leads to court TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Lawyers representing the City of Salmon Arm were in a Kamloops courtroom on Wednesday, arguing before a three-judge panel from B.C.’s highest court that it should overturn a decision that allowed a woman to sue the municipality for liability after she tripped over a broken street sign. Cindy Binette suffered undisclosed injuries on March 16, 2013, after tripping over the base of a damaged sign near the corner

of Second Street and Fifth Avenue in downtown Salmon Arm. Last year, following a hearing in Kelowna, a B.C. Supreme Court justice weighed the evidence and allowed Binette’s liability claim to proceed to trial. The City of Salmon Arm appealed that decision and, on Wednesday, urged a three-judge B.C. Court of Appeal panel to reverse it, arguing a number of errors were made — including “errors of fact or speculative inferences” made by the B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gary Weatherill.

municipality, said the judge jumped to conclusions about the state of the damaged sign and its base. Olthuis also said no one complained about the damaged sign before Binette fell. “The city at no time received notice of a hazard on the sidewalk,” he said. “At no time did somebody contact the city and say, ‘Hey, I noticed something at Second Street and Fifth Avenue.” A date for a decision from the B.C. Court of Appeal has not been set. The court is sitting in Kamloops for three days this week.

In the last two years, the city has sold nearly 1,600 rain barrels. The 208-litre (55-gallon) barrels collect rain water, which can be used to water lawns and gardens. The city also promotes them for reducing consumption of domestic water use and the need to treat, pump and distribute water. The city offered the barrels for $55. The same barrels can be purchased from Home Depot for $115.

Mounties responded to a commercial alarm just before 5:30 a.m. When they arrived, officers found the front set of doors had been damaged by a vehicle driving through them, but no entry was gained.

MARCH WINNER

City supports Tk’emlups’ bid to add Rayleigh land JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops has issued a letter supporting the Tk’emlups Indian Band in its bid to have land in Rayleigh added to the reserve. “I’m very glad to report out that we have received confirmation [of city support],” Tk’emlups Indian Band Coun. Rosanne Casimir said during a community-to-community forum on Monday. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said the matter dates

back to land formerly housing a prison. The Rayleigh Correctional Centre closed in 2002 after nearly 40 years of operation. The province issued part of the land to the city — on which the Tournament Capital Ranch now sits — and part of it to the TIB after the band filed a land claim. Adding the band’s land to the reserve is still in the process, Casimir said. “Mount Lolo took in excess of 26 years for the ATR (additions to reserve) process,” she said. Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Fred Seymour was grateful for

the letter, noting the band continues to “battle with all our government.” “If you’ve got battles with government, the City of Kamloops should not be one of them,” Christian said. The federal government created the additions to reserve policy in the 1970s to fill a gap not addressed by the Indian Act. Since then, the government has undergone a feedback process with First Nations bands and organizations and improvements to the process were announced in the summer of 2016.

OD-treatment training at TIB JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the wake of two overdose deaths on the reserve this year, a door-to-door campaign will encourage Naloxone training within Tk’emlups Indian Band families. TIB manager of community services Sarah Candido said the goal is for 100 per cent of the community to know how to use the kits, which temporarily reverse the impacts of an overdose from opioids. “What we’re hoping is the team, which is a health nurse and our wellness counsellor, can find a few community champions — which they’re working on now — and they’ll be able to go around with the kit and train family members,” Candido said.

Two overdose deaths have occurred within the community since January, she said. “Both gentleman were fairly young,” Candido said. “It’s just devastating for families.” In March 2017, Secwepemc elders and chiefs declared a state of emergency over the fentanyl crisis. Naloxone and harm-reduction training have been provided in the last two years and the band has worked with the Kamloops-Thompson school district and Thompson Rivers University on educational workshops. The door-to-door campaign, which will begin in coming months, will focus on 13 families of origin on the reserve, with the hopes of saving lives throughout the entire community. Candido said training takes about 15 minutes. “It’s about having community preparedness,” she said.

GLOBAL VIEWS

GHOSTS OF THE IRAQ LIE RE-EMERGE IN 2018

“

We must speak with one voice in exposing the regime for what it is — a threat to the peace and security of the whole world.” Those were the words in December of Nikki Haley, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations last December, trying to drum up support for stronger international sanctions against Iran and maybe even an actual attack on the country. Here we go again. Those old enough to remember the runup to the U.S. invasion of Iraq will recall the deluge of doctored American “intelligence” reports about alleged

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH Iraqi weapons of mass destruction that were used to justify the attack. “Everybody” was in danger, presumably including Bolivia, Switzerland and Nepal, so everybody must support the invasion. Then-U.S. president George W. Bush wanted

to overthrow Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi dictator, and the American intelligence services worked overtime to come up with reasons for doing it. We were told Saddam had been trying to buy yellowcake uranium in Niger (false, based on forged documents). The U.S. could not afford to wait for final proof of Saddam’s intentions “in the form of a mushroom cloud,” said Bush. And former general Colin Powell, Bush’s then-secretary of state, showed the United Nations General Assembly a vial containing a powder — harmless, one hopes — in order to emphasize that just a tiny amount

of a lethal biological weapon Saddam was allegedly producing would kill gazillions of people. (Powell, basically an honest man, later called the speech a permanent “blot” on his record.) In the end, the United States got its war and found no evidence whatsoever of an active Iraqi program to build weapons of mass destruction. But no lessons have been learned. Haley at the UN was laying a foundation of lies for a comparable Donald Trump adventure in the Middle East. Same story, different day. The story line goes as follows: Iran is an

IMPORTANT LETTER TO ALL LICENSED CHILD CARE PROVIDERS IN BC On behalf of our two organizations, the Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC (CCCABC) and the Early Childhood Educators of BC (ECEBC), we are writing to you at an important time in the evolution of quality, affordable, accessible and inclusive child care in BC. Like you, we celebrate the historic child care investment in BC Budget 2018, and government’s commitment to build a quality, universal child care system. We will also hold government accountable for achieving their rst steps - reducing parent fees, through the new Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, investing in the ECE workforce, and adding licensed spaces. These actions are essential to turning the corner on the current child care chaos across BC. And we must turn the corner, because today’s child care chaos is risky for everyone – children, parents, educators and child care providers. Despite your hard work, it’s not possible to provide high quality child care that’s also affordable for families. Your main source of revenue is parent fees, yet quality programming requires that well-educated, fairly-paid ECEs are your main expenditure. Clearly, the status quo is not acceptable – children need quality environments, parents need affordable fees, educators need fair wages, and providers need to move away from a model that relies on high parent fees and/or low ECE wages to survive. The new child care funding is essential to lling the gap between quality and affordability. Among wealthy countries, Canada has the lowest public investment in child care. Before Budget 2018, BC spent far less per licensed space than the weak Canadian average. Only New Brunswick spent less than BC. To improve quality and affordability, new funding must also be accountable for raising ECE wages and lowering parent fees. The most effective way to achieve these public goals is to increase operating funding provided directly to providers, with accountability. This approach – direct funding to providers, tied to ECE wages and parent fees – is already underway in many Canadian provinces. We’re pleased to see that government is inviting all licensed providers to participate in this new system rather than undermining their hard work by directing new public funding towards the introduction of junior kindergarten, as some suggest. Government’s approach is consistent with our recommendation to build on the valued child care services that have been created and nurtured in communities. Specically, to start improving child care quality and affordability promptly in BC, we urge: (1) the BC government to increase ECE wages in 2018 - while government is creating a workforce development strategy that addresses compensation, a top priority for our organizations is to advance a wage increase for ECEs in 2018. This wage lift should be delivered through an increase in funding provided directly to providers, with accountability. (2) licensed child care providers to opt-in to the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative – as government continues to provide additional information and resolve questions, providers are seeing the benets for families and for their programs. When child care is affordable, everyone benets. We encourage all of you to opt-in to the Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative, and share your wisdom, skills and experience as we work together to build a quality, universal child care system in BC. Sincerely, Susan Harney, Chairperson Coalition of Child Care Advocates of BC Early Childhood Educator and Private Operator (retired)

aggressive and expansionist power that threatens everybody everywhere. The proof is that it is helping the bad guys in Yemen, known as the Houthis, to launch missile attacks on innocent Saudi citizens. In fact, it is actually giving the evil Houthis the missiles. The Houthis, a large Shia tribe in northern Yemen, are indeed rebels and they now control most of the country, including the capital. This greatly angered the Saudi Arabians, who installed the previous government in 2012 as a way of shutting down the Arab Spring uprising in Yemen. The Saudis didn’t like seeing their man overthrown, so they created a nine-country coalition of Sunni Arab states and started bombing Yemen in 2015. According to the UN, at least 8,670 people have been killed and 49,960 injured since the coalition intervened in Yemen’s war. But on March 25, one of the highly inaccurate Houthi missiles killed one person in a suburb of Riyadh, the Saudi capital. The anti-Iran propaganda machine went into high gear. “This aggressive and hostile action by the Iran-backed Houthi group proves that the Iranian regime continues to support the [Houthi] armed group

with military capabilities,” said coalition spokesman Turki alMaliki. And the inimitable Haley said the missile “might as well have had ‘Made in Iran’ stickers” on it. This is the nub of the matter: is Iran actually supplying missiles to the Houthis that are being fired at Saudi Arabia? If so, then the United States, Saudi Arabia’s main ally, has an excuse to attack Iran. The American accusation depends on the ignorant but widespread belief that Yemenis and, in particular, Shia rebels from the north, are too “backward” to be able to make or upgrade missiles themselves. But most of the Yemeni armed forces’ weapons, including a variety of short-range ballistic missiles based on the old Soviet Scud series, fell into the Houthis’ hands in 20152016. None of those original missiles could have reached Riyadh, but extending the range of a simple rocket like the Scud is not, well, rocket science. You just reduce the weight of the warhead and lengthen the body of the rocket to carry extra fuel. The Houthis have many people with metal fabrication and basic engineering skills, and it appears they did exactly that. The upgraded mis-

sile is inaccurate (only one Saudi casualty in at least 40 launches) because lengthening it and lightening the warhead changes the balance. But it cheers the Houthis up because it lets them retaliate for all the bombing. Jane’s Information Group Ltd., established in 1898, is the world’s leading independent provider of intelligence and analysis on defence matters. Here is what Jeremy Binnie, Middle East/ Africa editor of Jane’s Defence Weekly, said about Yemen’s rockets in 2017 in Jane’s Intelligence Review. “The Burkan-2 appears to use a new type of warhead section that is locally fabricated. Both Iran and North Korea have displayed Scud derivatives with shuttlecock-shaped warheads, but none of these match the Yemeni version. The range of the Burkan missiles also appears to have been extended by a reduction in the weight of their warheads.” No nonsense about “made in Iran” stickers. The Yemenis aren’t stupid and they did it themselves. But the other story suits the Trump administration’s purposes better. Gwynne Dyer is an independent journalist whose articles are published in 45 countries. gwynnedyer.com

Saudi Arabia, UAE donate to relief efforts in Yemen Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have given US$930 million to United Nations humanitarian efforts in Yemen this week as a war between a Saudi-led military coalition and Yemen’s Shiite rebels enters its fourth year. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman presented the previously pledged donation to U.N. SecretaryGeneral Antonio Guterres as the two discussed Yemen. The Arab world’s poorest country is in the grips of a stalemated war and what the UN calls the worst humanitarian crisis, with 22-million people needing aid.

The UN said Guterres and the prince also discussed protecting civilians and needs for humanitarian access and open ports. Saudi Foreign Minister Adel alJubeir called the meeting “very productive and comprehensive.’’ He said the two talked about avoiding foreign intervention in Yemen, particularly from Iran. Western countries and UN researchers have accused Iran of supplying arms to the Yemeni rebels, known as Houthis. Iran denies it. — Associated Press

FEEDING ON CREATIVITY Breastfeeding Art Expo brings community, breastfeeding and art together DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

lthough the work took significant time and sacrifice, Peter Cameron-Inglis is eager to host Breastfeeding Art Expo, a project spearheaded by Interior Health. His company, Mastermind Studios, created 20 videos shot in documentary style with some of the artists’ perspectives on what drew them to the project and what they hope people take away from the work they created. IH public health dietitian Karen Graham said through her work in the population health department, she saw a need to address the value of breastfeeding, focusing on awareness of the important medical, social, economic and environmental benefits that come with it. Graham saw art as a way to engage the public and to also be seen as advocacy for policies that support breastfeeding. “Students can go from kindergarten to Grade 12 and never hear the word breastfeeding,” Graham said. That’s one reason a teacher’s guide was created and she’s hoping to see classes come to tour the exhibition. The guide has activities that can be done before, during and after a tour. Fifteen community art pieces were accepted along with 75 works from independent artists and the videos from Mastermind. The community work from Kamloops was led by April Mazzelli in partnership with White Buffalo Aboriginal and Metis Health Society, Lii Michif Otipemisiwak Family and Community Services, Breastfeeding Matters in Kamloops and the B.C. Nurses Union aboriginal leadership circle.

It focused on a pregnant woman, her family and support and is a series of photographs taken from the first minutes after birth through to when the child was two years old. They were put together to represent a medicine wheel. The expo has been shown in various communities in the past year and has made its way to Kamloops, its last stop, where it will open on Thursday, April 5 at 6 p.m. at Mastermind Studios in its new soundstage, 954 Laval Cres. It will continue there to April 11. Hours are 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. for all but the final day, when it will be open from 9 a.m. to noon. Cameron-Inglis said he and his employees wanted to be involved because of the importance of the subject. He said it fit with his goal of doing works that leave the world a better place and breastfeeding is key to starting children off in a healthy way. His part of the project was spread over two years and involved more than 100 interviews generating several hundred more hours of video to be edited to create the 20 three- to five-minute vignettes. Two of the videos were created by Watershed Productions in Nelson and edited at Mastermind. When the exhibition closes, community art pieces will be donated to various locations. Some of the other artists have offered their works for donation and others will be returned. For more information, go online to breastfeedingartexpo.ca. The exhibition is open for anyone to visit and tours can be booked by emailing Graham at karen. graham@interiorhealth.ca or by phone at 250-488-2579.

Emotional Children of God can evoke strong reactions Two to four counsellors on-hand during the show for the audience DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Lori Marchand is looking forward to her new job in Ottawa — but there was one thing she made clear to the people at the National Arts Centre, where she will be its new managing director for Indigenous theatre. She wasn’t heading east until the end of the run for Children of God. She’s seen the play by Corey Payette — a work that uses music to tell the story of people who were sent to residential schools as children — several times and each time, she said, she leaves moved by the work.

on Saturday, March 31 and continuing to April 7. The play can trigger some strong reactions, Marchand said, and that has led to creation of a program to have counsellors on hand during presentations, a quiet room available for those who may need to step out of the theatre for a few minutes and the option to take part in a facilitated conversation after each presentation. Two to four counsellors will be in the theatre to assist members of the audience who find the subject emotional. They can approach the people during the play, Marchand said, and use a classroom at adjacent South Kamloops secondary, which the school district has made available. That kind of tough subject matter isn’t new to those who

“The music is haunting,” Marchand said, “and people will leave humming it, they will leave singing it and it will be a good thing.” They’ll also experience what she calls a powerful piece of theatre. The story is about a family broken by the residential school experience that, over time, finds their way back to being a family again. The play was workshopped and rehearsed in Kamloops in 2015, using the chapel in what was once the Kamloops residential school. It’s been shown across Canada in recent months and opens in Kamloops at Sagebrush Theatre

Inspired by Riverdance all her life, now she’s a part of it and coming to Kamloops SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Amy-Mae Dolan just can’t wait to hit the stage. She’s only been with Riverdance for a year and a half, but the show has influenced her throughout her entire life. Dolan has been a dancer since the age of two and developed her skills to be world-class, winning the World Irish Dance Championships and other major titles. In 2016, she completed the Riverdance Summer School program and later got the call to come onboard. “A couple of weeks later they rang me and asked me if I wanted to join the show and I just jumped at the opportunity because it’s just been my lifelong inspiration,” she said. Dolan would later become a lead dancer with the show, which is now touring as part of its 20th anniversary world tour which started in 2015. Riverdance made its debut in 1994 as part of the Eurovision song contest and quickly took off from there. “Riverdance was around before I was,” Dolan said, talking about how the performance has

always influenced her. “As an Irish dancer growing up, you watch Riverdance over and over again,” she said. The show tells the tale of how young people left Ireland and departed for the new world, being changed by different cultures they encountered along the way. Dolan said it feels great to be such a high-profile ambassador for Irish culture. “I love to represent Ireland and I love talking about the show,” she said. “It gives an insight into Ireland and shows how excited Irish people are and how friendly and welcoming they are.” But being on the road is not without its challenges. Though video chat helps keep them in touch, Dolan hasn’t seen her family in four months. She does have her tour family, however, which includes 20 Irish dancers, a Flamenco dancer, Russian dancers, American tap dancers, a medical team and a management team. “We work out together, we dance together — we live together, basically,” she said. Before coming to Kamloops,

Dolan and company have shows in Wyoming, South Dakota and Montana, plus an eight-show stint in Salt Lake City, Utah, and two other B.C. shows. With such a tight schedule, careful attention is paid to keep dancers injury-free. The team includes a physiotherapist and a massage therapist, and days off are often spent with recovery in mind. Dolan said there’s typically just one day off a week, which might be spent travelling. “I usually spend that day icing my feet and legs,” she said, adding that she’ll try to switch off by reading or hanging out with the rest of the cast. It’s the energy, of both the crowd and her fellow performers, that leads to her excitement to hit the stage every night. “Before the show I am so excited to get out there,” she said. “I am loving the show more every time I do it, just because I’m growing into the role and learning so much as I go along.” Riverdance will be at Sandman Centre, 300 Lorne St., on April 12 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.

attend WCT plays, Marchand said, pointing to past productions including Where the Blood Mixes, Ernestine Shuswap Gets Her Trout, Wit, Tuesdays with Morrie, Only Drunks and Children Tell the Truth and The Cure for Death By Lightning. “We think our audience is an amazing audience and has always been supportive,” Marchand said. She said WCT has a stronger link with the local indigenous communities than most other theatres in the country and that has often been seen in its programming. It’s a subject that has been part of her life, Marchand said, acknowledging her father’s history as a residential-school student and a man who bucked a lot of bias toward Indigenous people, as the first status indian elected

to Parliament who was also given cabinet positions. Len Marchand died in 2016. After seeing Children of God, her father would likely have wanted to talk with Payette and the cast about the subject. While the subject is challenging and representative of a shameful time in Canadian history, Marchand said the ending “is joyous and resplendent and invites the entire audience to celebrate the power and resiliency of the Indigenous people.” The production is the result of a partnership between Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, the National Arts Centre and Raven Theatre, The Cultch and Urban Ink, all in Vancouver. Tickets are available at Kamloops Live box office, 250-3745483 or kamloopslive.ca.

Learn to write scripts Playwright Ian Weir will lead a screenwriting workshop next month at Mastermind Studios, 954 Laval Cres. Weir has written scripts for several television, radio and stage productions and has seen several of his plays premiered in his former hometown of Kamloops by Western Canada Theatre. The two-day session is scheduled for Saturday, April 21 from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., and Sunday, April 22, from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Cost is $200 and pre-registration is required by email to Sherre Lapointe at the Thompson-Nicola Film Commission, tnfc@tnrd.ca or by calling 250-3778673, extension 2594.

2 Shadows set to scream into Kamloops KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Mike Horvath always felt his musical home was in the metal community — but a Slipknot concert confirmed it for him. The vocalist for 2 Shadows, a Vancouver-based band heading out on tour next month, said at one point in the show, one of the band members addressed the audience, saying “this is your family. We are your family and then he told us to hug people around us,” Horvath recalled. “That locked it in for me.” Horvath, Tryst Germaine, James Holder and Sterling Paterson will be on the road a lot in the spring, including a show in Kamloops at The Dirty Jersey on April 28.

They’re starting their Feed The Obscene tour in Vancouver and heading east with shows in Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Ontario. They’ll be back in B.C. for their

final show in Vernon on May 27. While the music is aggressive, Horvath said there are two realities of metal — “it’s such a frowned-upon genre by people who don’t understand it and for

the ones that do, the music helps people get through hard times or touches their emotions.” As for that aggressive sound, as lead vocalist with the band Horvath has done some research

on it and discovered that was he does is exactly what a baby can do, sing in a scream and not wreck his vocal chords. An American scientist who specializes in patients with damaged vocal chords used a highspeed camera inside a singer’s throat and determined metal singers’ vocal chords do the same thing a screaming baby’s does — the vocal folds open and vibrate but don’t collide. The band’s most recent album, Transference, is available online at 2shadowsofficial.com/shop or through iTunes and Google Play. It’s also on Spotify. The Kamloops show starts at 8 p.m. Tickets are available online at the band’s website.

POETRY

NorKam grad goes from rap lyricist to ‘Poet of the streets’ KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Josh Robertson’s journey to published writer began through music. The NorKam secondary graduate said as a teen, he liked to write lyrics for bands and even recorded some with a friend — opting for the rap name of Hannibal Lecture. The lyrics led to a shift into poetry, a way of expressing how he feels, drawing moments from his own life and turning them into rhyme. Eventually some of his cre-

ations were published in Blank Spaces magazine, a creation of Alanna Rusnak, a Canadian writer and blogger who, in addition to the magazine, runs a publishing company. She encouraged Robertson to follow his muse and the result is 55 poems in Arguments with Mortality, published under his old rap name. Rusnak described Robertson as a fast-rising young poet who finds poetry from “those rare and covetous joyous moments, the absurdities of inane convention, or the harrowing ordeals

that plague the human condition.” She called him a poet of the streets who draws inspiration from the people he sees and meets there. For Robertson, his book is a natural progression for someone who has always loved to write and he’s thrilled book retailers have picked it up. The book can be bought online at many sites including Amazon.ca, barnesandnoble.ca and abebooks.com. There’s also a Kindle version available on Amazon.

With spring’s arrival, make time for creativity and projects T

he snow is melting, revealing little green tulip, hyacinth, and crocus sprouts in my flower beds. After hibernating all winter, they’re ready to expend that pent -up energy in a burst of showy colour and I can’t help but relate. I’ve been eyeing up natural dye projects all winter, dutifully pinning dye recipes and amassing a collection of books on the subject. While large swaths of fabric require space to dye, and warm sunny weather to dry on the clothesline, the Easter long weekend is a great time to play with dye in another way: throw open a window, cook up a pot of natural colour using vegetables, fruits, or spices from the grocery store, and dye some pretty eggs for your Easter table. Luckily, some of the best natural products for dyeing are also easy to find and relatively inexpensive. Red cabbage and black beans both produce pretty blue hues, while reds and pinks can be achieved using beets or red onion skins, and yellows from the skins of yellow onions. For more colour scour your pantry or freezer: turmeric, coffee, blueberries, spinach, red wine, and cranberries all make good natural dyes. Natural dye is an experiment. It won’t produce the same pigments or consistency as synthetic dye does, but we’re not going for perfection here anyway. To extract your dye, roughly

CALLI DUNCAN Maker

SPACE chop two cups of your chosen vegetable and bring it to a boil with two cups of water. Once boiling, turn down the heat, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove your pot from the heat and strain away any solid particles. To increase the saturation of your colour, add one teaspoon of white vinegar to the mixture and allow your dye to cool to room temperature. To dye your eggs, simply submerge them in the dye, rotating for the most even colour. Hardboiled eggs work well and reduce the risk of big messes. For deeper colour the eggs can be left in the dye overnight, alternatively remove the eggs after only a few minutes for pale pastel hues. There’s really no wrong approach here, this is a fun opportunity to improvise and stretch your creativity. Try mixing your dyes to make new colours, double dipping

your egg in a second colour after the first has dried, or only dipping part of the egg to create fun patterns. The long weekend presents a great opportunity to disconnect from work — and our phones — and get creative. If you’re looking for a quick project, or have little kids to entertain this weekend, your approach may involve experimenting with just one or two colours or reverting to a prepackaged dye kit. While natural dyes are chemical free and better for the environment, boiling cabbage on your stove will make your house smell like boiled cabbage and I understand this level of handson making isn’t for everyone. Alternatively, for some it’s easy to spend all weekend diving deep into the world of natural dyes, making richer, more potent dyes by adding more vegetable material to your mixture and experimenting with different techniques, using raw eggs and a hot simmering dye bath to get more even colour. Whatever your approach, I highly recommend making time for a little creativity this weekend. It’s the mood-boosting, stress-reducing, mental-health reset we all likely need right now and a great way to kick-off a new season of summer creativity.

Band will play at Sagebrush Theatre on April 9 DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cinnamon buns and an impressive collection of 45s played a role in creating what eventually became The Stampeders. But it all started with a guitar and a goal to learn how to play The Ventures’ song Walk Don’t Run. And now, decades later, the band that gave the world Sweet City Woman, Carry Me and Hit the Road Jack is still hitting the road, including a stop in Kamloops on April 9 at Sagebrush Theatre. But, let’s start at the beginning, when Rich Dodson’s mom bought her nine-year-old son that guitar and got him involved with lessons and the local Catholic youth orchestra. He met Brendan Lyttle that way and discovered not only the musical treasure trove in his basement but the fact his mom knew how to bake. Eventually, Kim Berly answered an ad and they started to perform under the name The Rebounds in their hometown of Calgary.

The band kept growing, adding in Len Roemer and Race Holiday and renaming themselves The Stampeders, something Dodson said is funny since they had their major success in Toronto, where the music scene in the 1960s and 1970s was thriving more than it was in many cities in the Prairies. They made the Ontario city their permanent home in 1966 and, through the years, others joined the band — Van Louis, Gary Storin, Bob Allwood, Doug Macaskill, Roy Vansprang, Ian Kojima and David Norse Elye. Eventually, there were just three left — Dodson, King and Berly. “We had all these songs and we had to record,” Dodson said. “The rest is history. The trio was pretty strong.” There were some early singles — Morning Magic, Crosswalk, Be a Woman — but it was in 1971 that they started to really make their mark with Carry Me, Sweet City Woman, which won the Best Single at the Juno Awards and hit No. 8 on the the Billboard Top 100 chart, and Devil You. Six years later, it was over as Dodson wanted to spend more

time on the other side of the microphone in record production, “a change of scene,” he said. In 1992, Dodson was asked to appear on the Dini Petty Show, ostensibly as the subject of a “what are we up to now thing,” he said. “So I said sure, let’s chat and there I was and then Ronnie came out and then Kim came out and it was great to see the guys again. “Later that day, we ended up in a jam session on Queens Street in Toronto and the next day, the phone started ringing.” They started back doing concerts and released Sure Beats Working in 1998, a title that reflects Dodson’s sentiment about the B.C. tour they are making. “Theatres are the only way to go out now,” he said, because of the intimacy and the reality they’re playing to an audience that can actually see them and with whom they can connect during the show. Tickets for the show are available online at Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

NORRISTOWN, Pa. — Bill Cosby’s lawyers are expected to make a last-ditch effort on Thursday to postpone the comedian’s sexual assault retrial by pressuring the judge to step aside after losing their bid to overturn his ruling allowing up to five additional accusers to testify. The defence first demanded Judge Steven O’Neill recuse himself last week, arguing in court papers that he could be seen as biased because his wife is a social worker who has described herself publicly as an “advocate

for assault victims.’’ Now the retooled defence team, led by former Michael Jackson lawyer Tom Mesereau, is going face-to-face with O’Neill in his suburban Philadelphia courtroom at a final pretrial hearing before the start of jury selection on Monday. Cosby was escorted into the courthouse Thursday morning on the arm of his spokesman. The 80-year-old Cosby has pleaded not guilty to charges he drugged and molested former Temple University athletics administrator Andrea Constand at his home in 2004. O’Neill presided over Cosby’s

first trial, which ended in a hung jury last year. The retrial could be delayed indefinitely if he bows out. The judge’s wife is a psychotherapist and co-ordinates a team that cares and advocates for student sexual assault victims. Cosby’s lawyers said that last year she gave money to a group linked to an organization that is planning a protest outside the retrial. As Cosby’s lawyers are battling with O’Neill, they also are counting on him to make critical rulings to bolster their defence that Constand is a money-grubbing liar.

arts&entertainment Former Weinstein assistant slams ‘morally lacking’ gag order JILL LAWLESS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Harvey Weinstein’s former British assistant said Wednesday that a gag order she had to sign when she left his film company was “morally lacking in every way’’ and failed to stop the movie producer’s harassment and abuse of women. Zelda Perkins quit Weinstein’s firm Miramax in 1998 along with a colleague who accused the movie mogul of trying to rape her. Each received a US$177,000 settlement and signed a non-disclosure agreement. Perkins told a committee of British lawmakers that she felt “defrauded’’ by the agreement, which contained clauses intended to stop Weinstein from sexually harassing or abusing staff. The agreement committed Weinstein to attend therapy and required the company to act if he made any more payouts over alleged wrongdoing. Perkins said she has no evidence that these actions were carried out. Multiple women have accused Weinstein of sexual harassment and assault over many years. He denies all allegations of nonconsensual sex.

“I believed we had done the best we could in terms of stopping his behaviour,’’ Perkins told Parliament’s Women and Equalities Committee. “Essentially we were defrauded.’’ The committee is investigating sexual harassment and the use of non-disclosure agreements, or NDAs. NDAs are common in the corporate world, but Perkins said her experience shows they can be used to let perpetrators get away with wrongdoing while silencing their victims. “The problem is they are used abusively ... and there isn’t enough regulation and there isn’t a framework to protect the victims of the situation,’’ she said. The agreement Perkins signed kept her quiet about Weinstein’s behaviour for almost 20 years. He continued to be one of Hollywood’s most powerful producers until last year, when women — including Hollywood stars — publicly accused him of groping, exposing himself to them or forcing them into unwanted sex. Weinstein has since been fired by the company he co-founded and expelled by Hollywood’s film academy. Police in the U.S. and Britain are investigating multiple claims of sexual assault.

Penn now prefers writing novels over acting work THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Sean Penn, Oscarwinning actor, has other passions these days. “I’m not in love with the job of acting anymore,’’ says Penn, whose films include Milk, Mystic River, Dead Man Walking and many others. “In fact, what I want to do is write books.” Penn said he fears the world is so overwhelmed with “content’’ that even great movies are quickly forgotten. But he still believes in words. This week, Penn joined such literary heroes as Norman Mailer and Jack Kerouac, not to mention such acting peers as Ethan Hawke and James Franco, as an author of fiction. Penn’s novel is called Bob Honey Who Just Do Stuff, a title not out of place for someone whose off-screen adventures have led to encounters with everyone from Mikhail Gorbachev to El Chapo. Bob Honey, its volatile and alienated protagonist like/unlike the writer himself, is a hot tour of the United States and beyond as a Trump-like figure known as “The Landlord’’ rises to power and Bob Honey longs to be “Unbranded, unbridled and free.’’

Bob Honey has an improvisational style and a trail of alliterations — “Quite intentionally, to a fault,’’ Penn acknowledges. The plot involves septic tanks, lethal mallets and fireworks for dictators. The book’s back story also follows a scattered path. Last year, Penn released a brief audiobook under the pseudonym Pappy Pariah. He expanded on it and published a hardcover under his own name, although he says that opinions contained within, including a poem that chastises the #MeToo movement, are not necessarily his own. “A character’s thought pattern,’’ he said of such lines as “A platform for accusation impunity?/Due process has lost its sheen?’’ During a recent interview with The Associated Press, the 57-year-old Penn talked about writing, movies, #MeToo and his changing tastes in books. He has more trouble in mind for Bob Honey, depending on whether he thinks the public will care. Some reviews have been rough — “Sean Penn The Novelist Must Be Stopped,’’ reads a Huffington Post headline — but the novel has made the top 100 on Amazon.com and hit No. 1 in a category Penn should appreciate: absurdist fiction.

AN EXPENSIVE LESSON TO LEARN On Tuesday, March 27, a Kamloops Mountie stopped a vehicle when he saw the driver using an electronic device. The driver was issued a violation ticket for $368. Approximately 45 minutes later, and only a few blocks away, the same officer noticed the same driver again using a cellphone and another traffic stop was conducted. The driver was issued a second violation ticket for using an electronic device ,with another fine of $368. Including all of the demerit penalties on their driver’s licence, the two tickets may cost the driver $1431. As well, his driver’s licence may be reviewed by the superintendent of motor vehicles and he could face a possible prohibition from driving.

STRUCTURE FIRE ON NELSON AVENUE

DO YOU KNOW THIS THIEF?

On Valentine’s Day, Wednesday, Feb. 14, just after 9 p.m., Kamloops Mounties and firefighters were called to 217 Nelson Ave. on the North Shore, where a fire was set in the house. The investigation revealed someone tossed an incendiary device into the home, which was not occupied. A newer-model blue pickup truck was seen near the house and the arsonist is believed to have fled in the vehicle. In addition, a dark pickup truck (crew cab short box, possible newer Ford model) was captured on a surveillance camera driving behind the home in the back alley shortly before 9 p.m. on the night of the blaze. The vehicle drove into the alley, a passenger got out and jumps over the back fence and into the backyard of 217 Nelson St. as the truck turned around and left the alley, headed toward Fortune Drive.

On Tuesday, March 20, a wallet was accidentally left in a vehicle and later stolen. Soon after the wallet was stolen, a female attempted to use one of the cards from the wallet at a convenience store. She is white and has dark brown hair and brown eyes and was wearing dark clothing. If you recognize her and would like to remain anonymous, submit a tip to Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-TIPS (8477).

of answering her, the voice spoke just one word, “Mary.” She recognized Jesus and spoke in reply, “Master.” Her sorrow turned to joy. She knew in a flash that Jesus was alive —not some attenuated ghostly Jesus, but Jesus himself, real and personal. It is on that rock of conviction that the structure of Christian faith, solidly anchored in Jesus’ resurrection, was raised. From the discovery of Mary and of others came the possibility of a gallant facing up to life which saw beyond death and tragedy a mighty continuing comradeship. This Jesus who spoke to her in the shadows of early morning was in everything that mattered, the same Jesus who had claimed her loyalty and redeemed her life from the muddle. He was the same Jesus who had received her offering of precious spikenard in the home of Simon the Pharisee, who had not minded a bit when other guests were shocked and welcomed her act of devotion. Each Easter season the Christian church proclaims, “Christ is risen indeed.” To Mary it was given first to set eyes upon the risen Christ.

There were other people more reputable to whom we might think this special privilege could have been given. But, no, it is this deep-feeling, lonely woman with her memories, to whom the revelation first came. How often we substitute for the risen Christ who spoke to Mary an ecclesiastical Christ who keeps conveniently quiet in a stained glass window. But that’s not the report Mary handed on to us when she said, “I have seen the Lord.” She talked about someone with whom was as real as she was, who was alive and filled with purpose and compassion and alert to human need. If Christ’s church can recover the conviction that He is risen, that He is alive and that one day we will have to deal with this living Lord, can we imagine that all powers of evil it could stop? People then would rally to the standard of a faith inspired by this belief. There wouldn’t be much chance any longer for indifference and half-heartedness. For once, people would know that indeed Christ’s touch still holds its ancient power, they would be caught up in a great tide of hope and fervour. The lost radiance

of Christianity would return and the fruits of scientific discovery, the skill of learning, the great potential of energy in our world would be directed to raising the level of human life. As I read the story of Mary weeping in the garden, I am attracted by the thought that Mary mistook Jesus for a gardener in the half light of early morning. Gardeners have the delicate touch that makes things grow. The expression “green thumb” conveys the notion of a magic power which spirits up green shoots from the earth. If Mary had to mistake Jesus for anybody, it was well that she should think he was the gardener, for gardeners are close friends of nature. Nature is forever creating and making things new. Christ’s kinship with God was unique. He knew the secrets of the dark earth, of the rain that falls on the just and the unjust, of the winds and waves and sunsets. I don’t think he was offended when that distracted woman, first gazing upon him, thought that he was the gardener. Mistaking the risen Christ for a gardener in the dim light of a new day is just the first step to face Jesus’ claims upon our lives.

But the divine revelation of him as Master is much richer and fuller than that. If we today are not seeing that fuller revelation, isn’t it due in great part to our own spiritual poverty of stained-glass window to which we have relegated the risen Christ, instead of bearing the gaze of his eye and hearing the sound of his voice? The depth of grief at the loss of a loved one is known to all people. It is an echo of what Mary felt when she came in the darkness of early morning to the tomb of Jesus. This darkness is matched by the light of Christian belief, which claims that as Mary recognized Christ, so all who suffer the pain of separation shall find sorrow turned to joy. I believe that, because I believe in the God whom Christ revealed, the God by whose power it was that Christ was seen alive by his disciples, first by Mary, and then by countless others.

Western Canadian high school students offer services this summer in Kamloops Week-long faith-based program promotes service, learning and worship Hundreds of high school students from throughout Western Canada are coming to Kamloops this summer to lend a hand throughout the community. “This generation coming up is so social justice-orientated,” Southwest Community Church youth pastor Hannah Juras said. “They love connection. They love helping. They love serving.” SERVE is a week-long faithbased youth program hosted by Canadian Baptists of Western Canada to promote service, learning and worship. It rotates throughout different communities each year and will draw

about 350 high school students from as far away as Winnipeg to the city from July 1 to July 7. “You work during the day, you volunteer and you serve,” Juras said. Students will volunteer at the B.C. Wildlife Park, Kamloops Food Bank and New Life Community Kamloops and Juras is seeking additional work projects for youngsters to lend a hand. “As the word is spreading, we’re finding out about people who can’t get to yard work, who just can’t do it,” Juras said. “We’re super excited about those connections.”

Last year, the event was held in Brandon, and it landed in Victoria two years ago. It’s the first time it has come to Kamloops, Juras said. At the end of each volunteer day, students take in sessions with speakers and music. Wednesday will be dedicated to exploring the area. To recommend a project, contact Juras by calling 250828-1114 or emailing hannah@ swcc.ca. “This is part of what we believe — love our neighbours,” Juras said. “We want to do that plain and simple. Love our neighbours in Kamloops.”

BROWN FALLS SHORT IN NATIONAL FINAL END OF AN ERA AS LONGTIME MEMBER FISHER STEPS AWAY FROM CURLING

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

orryn Brown was pointing the finger at herself not long after her TRU WolfPack rink was bested in the U Sports Women’s Curling Championship final in Leduc, Alta., on Wednesday. In a tearful, short phone call, the accomplished skip said key mistakes on her part led to Alberta steals in the fifth and sixth ends, errors that gave the Pandas two points and a lead they never relinquished in a 6-3 victory. “It is a team game and I could have had different shots had other shots been made earlier in the end, but it’s just really tough when there are two key shots that were relatively easy that I didn’t even give my sweepers a chance on. Obviously, I wish I could take those back,” she said. Worsening the blow was the realization the defeat marked the end of an era for the Brown rink. Lead Sam Fisher will not curl competitively for the next two years, deciding to focus instead on her studies in respiratory therapy at TRU. “It was really hard walking off the ice today,” Fisher said. “I threw my last two rocks the best I possibly could, knowing there was a good chance they were the last two rocks I’ll throw in a competitive game for a while. It’s hard, for sure.” The Pandas have had the WolfPack’s number in the national final. Kelsey Rocque skipped them to victory over the Pack in the title tilt in 2015 and 2016, when Brown, Fisher, Pincott and Ashley

sailing it through the house. The ice was so different than it was yesterday.” The Brown rink has been curling together for about 12 years, winning three B.C. titles and one national championship in the junior ranks. Original member Sydney Fraser left the team after the

2015-2016 season. She was a fifth for the WolfPack at nationals in 2015. The search for Fisher’s replacement will begin soon. Brown, Fisher, third Erin Pincott and second Dezaray Hawes, along with coach Allison MacInnes, comprised the 20172018 Brown rink, which in its first

season playing in the women’s ranks won bronze at the B.C. Scotties, the provincial championship, in January. Winning a third silver medal at nationals capped what they may look back on as a successful campaign, but it was not much consolation to Brown on Wednesday. “We fell short of most of our goals,” Brown said. “For us, it’s a bit of a failure. From the outside, it looks pretty successful.” There will be no university championship trophy on the team mantle, as Brown and Pincott will graduate from TRU this year. “It doesn’t matter how many times you go through it. Every time, it’s going to hurt. Every time, you want it just a little bit more,” Fisher said. “When you miss it by that much, it really stings. “For me, it’s kind of taking a moment to believe that this is actually happening and my career is over for a couple years. I really just want the best for the girls moving forward.” NATIONAL HONOURS Fisher was named a firstteam U Sports all-Canadian on Wednesday, while Brown and Pincott earned second-team honours.

Kid’s League, Year 2 MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Chris Martin said Kamloops is a mountain-biking nirvana, the perfect place for a program he helped start last year. The Kamloops Bike Riders Association Kid’s League is entering its sophomore campaign and Martin, along with Olympic bronze medallist Catharine Pendrel, is encouraging riders ages seven to 12 to check it out. “We got together and had a conversation. Why wouldn’t we have a program like this in town when we have someone of Catharine’s pedigree?” said Martin, a teacher at David Thompson elementary who runs DMB Mountain Bike Coaching. “It’s skill-based and we get them into racing. We have

some amazing areas to ride in Kamloops.” Riders will navigate terrain in Lac Du Bois and at the Kamloops Bike Ranch, with league sessions scheduled to run on April 20, April 27, May 4, May 11, May 18 and May 25. “We just wanted to recognize that while not every kid is competitive, some are, and we give them an introduction to what cross-country mountain biking is,” said KBRA president Pendrel, who will attend skills and race days when she is not overseas competing on the World Cup circuit or at other events. “There are lots of great prizes and it was just wanting to introduce kids to other sports that are out there.” Events last year drew as many as 40 riders, who are separated into groups based on age and skill level.

“It’s not a crazy, gnarly sport where you see kids doing big jumps,” Martin said. “It’s a family-oriented activity and a lifelong activity. “If kids are a little insecure, the parent can ride behind them, cheering them through.” There is no cost to register. Organizers help out on a volunteer basis. “With Lac Du Bois being a B.C. park, we are guaranteed to not be hampered by any motor vehicles,” Martin said. “The Kamloops Bike Ranch is an amazing facility, one of the only ones in Canada where it’s in municipal territory. The Kamloops Performance Cycling Centre helps organize that part.” For more information, email kbra.info@gmail.com or find KBRA Kids League on Facebook.

Children ages seven to 12 will be racing and training in Lac Du Bois and at the Kamloops Bike Ranch when the KBRA Kid’s League begins on April 20.

ASK A PET EXPERT Keeping Your Pets Tags Up To Date It is that time of year that you do need to update your dogs’ city license. But the other important thing to do is make sure your dog’s name tag is up to date. Although a city tag and microchipping your dog (or cat) are effective ways of getting your pet returned should they decide to go on their own adventures, name tags can often get your pet returned quickly. Most people, when they find a pet want to get that pet to their home as ANDREA • 19 YEARS quickly as possible and would rather call you then send to the city or SPCA. Make sure your phone numbers are current. It’s a good idea to have more than one phone number on the tag. We don’t recommend putting your address on the tag in the unfortunate case that someone has your dog and may know you’re not home. Bring this article in (or take a picture of it) and get a name tag for $7.00! Pick up your city license here too!

Former RiverDogs helping WolfPack; home opener Saturday MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

For graduated Kamloops RiverDogs, making a successful transition to the Canadian College Baseball Conference is all about getting up to speed. “At first, it was a really big jump,” said Bryant Jameus, a third-year WolfPack pitcher who played midget AAA ball with the Dogs. “Everything is faster. Most guys have the physical skill or can at least develop it by going to the gym and working hard, but some guys can’t mentally make that jump.” Jameus, brothers Connor and Rhys McKenzie and Lucas Lott make up the Kamloops contingent on this year’s TRU WolfPack squad. All four are RiverDogs graduates and played on the same team in 2015. TRU is aiming to exact revenge on the dominant Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs of Lethbridge. PBA edged TRU 4-3 in extra innings in the 2017 CCBC final to claim its seventh straight league title. The WolfPack and Dawgs regularly jostle for top position in regular-season standings, but TRU has only reached the champion-

ship game twice in the last seven years, the other loss coming in Lethbridge in 2014. The WolfPack posted a 1-3 record against the Fraser Valley Cascades in Chilliwack last weekend to begin the 2018 campaign. Baseball-hungry fans in the Tournament Capital will get their first look at the Pack this weekend, with the Dawgs coming to town for doubleheaders on Saturday and Sunday. Game times at Norbrock Stadium are 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. on

Saturday and 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. on Sunday. TRU will play host to the CCBC championship in May at Norbrock. Unlike the WolfPack soccer team, a U Sports member, the baseball team was not allotted extra recruiting money in advance of a year in which it will host nationals. “We don’t get anything from anybody,” longtime WolfPack manager Ray Chadwick said. “They [the Dawgs] are like our soccer team. They got scholarships and they go out and get guys

because they know they don’t have to pay to play. “Our guys come and pay to play.” Connor McKenzie, a secondyear catcher, is among the RiverDogs’ graduates who knew he wanted to play for TRU after high school. “I would be playing at the field just behind Norbrock and I’d walk by and say, ‘I want to play there one day,’” McKenzie said before practice on Wednesday. “The biggest difference is the guys on the mound coming at you. The entire game speeds up a little bit.” Chadwick, who led the Pack to CCBC titles in 2005, 2007 and 2009, said the number of RiverDogs on his roster has dropped in recent years, noting it was once common to carry as many as seven of them. “The numbers are down with them, so the numbers are down with us, as well,” Chadwick said. “Two years ago, there wasn’t any graduates. They were really young.” The Kamloops Minor Baseball Association has reported an increase in registration numbers, a good sign for the RiverDogs and WolfPack if youngsters keep

playing through the bantam and midget levels. “What happens is those kids that aren’t talented enough to play with the RiverDogs, they end up playing house midget or they end up not playing at all,” Chadwick said. “And if they fall out between 13 and 15, they don’t usually come back.” Longtime midget AAA RiverDogs’ manager Sean Wandler said the midget AA program has been strong in recent years, citing a provincial championship victory in 2016. The midget AAA RiverDogs graduated three players in 2016 and four in 2017, but are expected to have about nine Grade 12s on the team this season. “It fluctuates,” Wandler said. “We go through those bubbles over the years.” Lott, a second-year outfielder, has caught up to university-level pitching. Now his team is aiming to catch up with the Dawgs. “That was a heartbreaking loss last year,” Lott said. “I think we were up twice in that game and we just couldn’t finish. “I think we’ll come back for some revenge against them this season.”

Saboe earns repeat titles MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Team Saboe was curling for more than the B.C. Masters Combined Curling Championship last weekend on home ice at the Kamloops Curling Centre. Ailing fifth John Cox was top of mind. “He’s had a couple of bouts with cancer,” skip Wayne Saboe said. “We wanted to repeat, especially for John. We still wanted him on our team as a fifth.” Cox played second for the Saboe team, which included third Dennis Jeannotte, lead John Sutton and fifth Vince Hunter, that won the 70-plus men’s provincial combined title and the Interior Masters Championship on the Lower Mainland last year. Hunter moved into second for this year’s championship and

curled well, helping the Saboe rink repeat in both categories. “We’re hopeful he [John Cox] will be able to have a good summer and get this cancer under control, but one never knows,” Saboe said. The Saboe rink beat each of the four teams who represented the Pacific Coast Masters Curling Association and suffered only one defeat against Interior competition last week. With a 6-1 overall record and the combined title already secured, Saboe took part in a three-way playoff against Team Lind of Creston and Team Tait of Kelowna for the Interior banner. Every member of each rink took a shot at the button. The team with the least combined distance from the button after all four shots was crowned the winner. “It was really a lot of pressure on these draws,” Saboe said. Sutton did not hit the rings,

but Hunter covered the button with his shot, Jeannotte put his draw into the back eight-foot and Saboe found the four-foot, just shy of the button. Saboe was declared the winner. The prospect of a three-peat is enticing and not far-fetched, but the skip wasn’t willing to make any brave predictions for 2019. “We’ll have to see how healthy we all stay,” Saboe said. “At our age, when you’re in your 70s, I don’t like to make any really formal plans, other than that if we’re healthy, we’re certainly going to try.” Skip Wayne Saboe (pictured), third Dennis Jeannotte, second Vince Hunter, lead John Sutton and fifth John Cox were all smiles after winning a pair of gold medals at the B.C.

Kamloops to host LeBron closing in on Jordan Game 1 of CanadaRussia Series TOM WITHERS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kamloops is among six host cities for the 2018 CIBC Canada-Russia Series. The six-game series features regional league teams of national junior team candidates competing against the Russian juniors and is an integral part of the identification process for Team Canada prior to the under-20 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship. Game 1 will be played in the Tournament Capital, with Team WHL squaring off against Russia on Nov. 5. at Sandman Centre. The Vancouver Giants will play host to Game 2 on Nov. 6 before the series moves east to the Ontario Hockey League. Russia will play Team OHL in Sarnia on Nov. 8 and Oshawa on Nov. 12. Team QMJHL will play host to Game 5 in Sherbrooke on Nov. 13 and Game 6 in Drummondville on Nov. 15. Kamloops last hosted a series game in 2015, when Team WHL won 4-2. The series also came to Kamloops in 2010, when Russia won 7-6 in a shootout, and in 2006, when WHL won 6-1. Former Blazers’ captain Collin Shirley and forward Deven Sideroff played for Team WHL in 2015. Defenceman Austin Madaisky

CLEVELAND — A generation of kids wanted to be like Michael Jordan. They bought his redand-black Nikes and sported his No. 23 Bulls jersey. They mimicked Jordan’s spin move and fadeaway jumper and even wagged their tongues the way he did on flights to the rim. While millions worshipped Jordan, only a handful entered his rarefied air. LeBron James lives there.

and forwards Brendan Ranford and Chase Schaber represented the Blazers in the 2010 game. Forward Brock Nixon and defenceman Keaton Ellerby represented Kamloops in 2006. Since the inaugural event in 2003, CHL teams have played to an overall record of 61-22-1-6 and have won 12 of the 15 series, including three straight. Thirty-six players from last season’s Canada-Russia series competed in the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, including 17 CHL players who won gold for Canada.

Without a father in his life, James viewed Jordan as a role model. On Friday night, the indomitable Cleveland Cavaliers star, playing at an MVP level in his 15th NBA season, likely will surpass a record held by a player he once admired “like a god.’’ On Wednesday night in Charlotte, James equalled Jordan’s NBA mark by scoring in double digits in 866 consecutive games, an extraordinary streak of consistency and durability that may not end until James wants it to.

No one else seemingly can stop him. Once he scores 10 points against New Orleans, James will surpass Jordan’s record and add another check mark to his side in the greatest-player-of-alltime debate. To put the streak in context, Kareem AbdulJabbar is third at 787 games, followed by Karl Malone at 575. Among current players, James Harden is second to James with 257 games, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. James typically avoids talking about

his accomplishments, saying that’s what he’ll do once he retires. But the double-digit scoring streak, which dates to Jan. 5, 2007, and an eight-point game against Milwaukee in his fifth season, has turned him somewhat reflective. “It’s just another feat for me to be appreciative and humbled by what I’ve been able to do,” James said. “ And just knowing where I come from, I look at it and say, ‘Wow, I can’t believe I’m in this position,’ knowing where I come from.’’

ARMSTRONG TO HOST THROWS EVENT ON SATURDAY Olympic bronze medallist Dylan Armstrong and the Kamloops Track and Field Club

will play host to a throws competition at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday.

Athletes from across B.C. will compete. The event will get underway at 10 a.m.

The Buffalo Sabres played host to the Red Wings last night after KTW’s press deadline. Detroit (28-38-11) was third-last in the Eastern Conference, with five games to play.

THE BLUE JAYS — FIVE STORYLINES MELISSA COUTO

THE CANADIAN PRESS

The Toronto Blue Jays began their 2018 season Thursday with a home game against the New York Yankees after KTW’s press deadline. Here are five storylines to watch as the year gets underway: STARTING WITHOUT TULO With Troy Tulowitzki not ready to return from his ankle injury, newcomer Aledmys Diaz will take the reins as the starting shortstop in his absence. Tulowitzki suffered the injury last July and there’s no timetable for his return, meaning Diaz could get plenty of playing time. Toronto acquired Diaz in an off-season trade with the St. Louis Cardinals. The 27-year-old Cuban burst onto the MLB scene in 2016, batting .300 with 17 homers and 65 runs batted in over 111 games with St. Louis. But his stats and playing time took a tumble last season when Paul DeJong emerged as the Cardinals’ top shortstop. Toronto will be hoping an increase in Diaz’s playing time, at least until Tulowitzki makes it back, will help him return to his 2016 form. DONALDSON All-star third baseman Josh Donaldson is likely to hit free agency at the end of the 2018 season, making this year potentially his last as a Blue Jay. General manager Ross Atkins said at the beginning of spring training that he was hopeful the team could retain Donaldson long-term, but the 2015 AL MVP said he and Toronto weren’t seeing “eye to eye’’ through negotiations. Donaldson was limited to 113 games because of injuries last year and his absence in

the lineup was surely felt — Toronto scored an AL-low 693 runs. Donaldson didn’t travel to Montreal for the Blue Jays’ last two pre-season games, saying the turf at Olympic Stadium was too difficult on his body. Toronto will need a healthy Donaldson if it wishes to compete in the AL East, and Donaldson needs to stay healthy if he hopes to command a large free-agent deal. SANCHEZ LOOKS SHARP The Blue Jays’ 2017 playoff hopes took a hit early when starter Aaron Sanchez developed a blister in spring training that eventually took him out for most of the season. The 25-year-old righthander seems to have completely healed from the issue — he wasn’t limited at all at this spring training — and his continued health will be key for Toronto’s success this year. Sanchez led the American League in earned-run aver-

age (3.00) and win percentage (.882) in a stellar 2016 campaign that saw the Blue Jays make it to the AL Championship Series for a second straight year. Sanchez was 1-3 with a 4.25 ERA through just 36 innings in 2017, when Toronto missed the post-season. NO MORE JOSE Toronto had a new face in right field for the first time in nearly a decade when Randal Grichuk made his Blue Jays regular-season debut on Thursday. Needing a replacement for departing free agent slugger Jose Bautista, the Blue Jays acquired Grichuk in an off-season trade with the Cardinals. The 26-yearold Grichuk played just two games at Rogers Centre before Thursday, but he made them count, hitting his first career home run against Mark Buehrle on June 7, 2014. Grichuk hit 22 homers and C Z A R P O S E R O S I M E G E N B A N A L O N B I N G A C T O R E V M D O P E E N H A L E A N E A R T T C M E T A T R G E M I I T S O T A N S

drove in 59 runs last season and he figures to benefit from moving to a hitter-friendly ballpark and hitter-friendly division. NEW BULLPEN FACES The Blue Jays sought relief help outside the organization in the off-season, bringing three new faces to the sevenman opening day bullpen. Canadian John Axford, Tyler Clippard and Seunghwan Oh will likely round out the relief corps alongside returnees Roberto Osuna, Danny Barnes, Aaron Loup and Ryan Tepera. Axford, a 34-year-old right-hander from Port Dover, Ont., is hoping for a renaissance year after being released last June by the Oakland Athletics. Axford had a stellar spring training, allowing just one run and striking out 11 over eight innings. The Canadian led the league with 46 saves with Milwaukee back in 2011.

MONECA JANTZEN KTW Graphic Designer RunClub+ My first week of Boogie training was great. The first group session, as reported, was fun and inspiring. Left on my own to do my playwork during the week, I’m thrilled to report that I did it. I forced myself out the door soon after getting home from work — before I changed my mind, or the weather changed, or it got dark, or I found some other lame excuse not to go. I harnessed up Oliver, the youngest of our two dogs, and went for it. I even incorporated some hills into my self-directed walk to make it a bit more challenging. Oliver was beyond happy with our outing, as was I. This effort was repeated two days later, so I’m two-for-two. When it came time for this week’s Boogie session, I was heading into it as a bit of a zombie, having pulled a workrelated all-nighter the night before. It was also raining. In addition, I had an urgent project looming and another sleepdeprived night ahead of me. It did cross my mind not to go to RunClub, but I ignored that voice and showed up. As always, a bit of exercise and a whole lot of camaraderie (wonderful RunClub coaches!) made me so happy I went. I also made a huge life decision once I got home, in the name of work-life balance. I’m looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

I never would have thought I would have the urge to run at 6 a.m. This past week, I caught myself thinking about my early-morning runs before getting ready for bed. I always knew it was good for one’s mental health, but I can now genuinely say that is the case for me, too, as I feel amazing after going on these runs, when I tend to go to my “happy place.” After our RunClub training session last Sunday, I went straight up to Runners Sole to get a new pair of shoes. After my first few runs, I found my ankles and shins quite sore. I was observing RunClub members’ shoes, many of which are traditional running shoes, and I knew I needed to get a pair. When I got to Runners Sole, I was overwhelmed with the selection of shoes. Luckily, owner Wayne Richardson came forward and helped me right away, noticing I was a rookie in the running game. He sized me up and gave me a couple of different options to try. After he observed my form and my running gait, I went with a pair of Hokas. I felt like a completely new runner. I am ready to continue my training and push myself even more.

One of the first things I remember hearing at one of my first RunClub sessions many years ago shocked me a little bit. “Do we show up for RunClub if we’re hacking, puking or pooping?” Jo asked the assembled crowd. “NO!!!” the assembled throng responded in chorus. “Do we show up if we’re tired or feeling stressed?” “YES!!!” This past Sunday, as we prepared for our training session along the airport dike, Jo said it again — and, for the first time, it actually resonated with me. After a lovely spring break spent on holiday with my kids, my first cold of the year starting hitting me like a tonne of bricks on Saturday. Going to bed Saturday night, I wondered for the first time if I was going to have to miss RunClub and write a “Why the dog ate my homework” diary entry for this edition of KTW. Sunday morning came and I was 50/50 on whether or not I felt I could make it. I was stuffed up and achy. That’s when Jo’s words came to me: I wasn’t hacking, puking or pooping, so I hauled my butt out of bed and went. I am glad I did. By the end of our beautiful early spring session, I was feeling miles better. It didn’t last, though. I’m writing this a half hour from our print deadline after having spent a day sick in bed hacking and praying for death. But I should be better by Sunday.

TIPS

We all need to get outside more. Many people are vitamin D-deficient, affecting important things like bone health and immune systems.

The best complement to your run is yoga. Yoga packs serious perks for runners, including flexibility, easing aches and pains and recovery.

You’re doing fantastic. The long run is your anchor. By increasing your long, steady distance safely, you are increasing your endurance, fitness and distance.

Remember to hydrate before, during and after your runs. Hydrating is energy-giving and reduces inflammation, injury and fatigue.

Half-marathon training is lifechanging. Start visualizing and plan out pacing for Boogie. By putting a plan in your mind, the Boogie half-marathon is already a picture of success.

PLAYWORK

2) Walk 2 minutes, run 8 minutes. Repeat 6 times. Total 60 minutes. 2) Walk 2 minutes, run 8 minutes. Repeat 7 times with some hills. Total 70 minutes.

MOVEMENT IS CHANGE with Jo Berry

Can running be spiritual?

have to admit that running is not the first thing that comes to mind when most people think about a spiritual experience. If you are looking for something soulful, chances are you are walking into a church or engaged in prayer or quiet contemplation. Yes, running can be challenging. When I run, my mind (pre-run) can complain and it is sometimes more work than joy to get out the door. There is also the weather, the hills and the occasional face-plant. However, despite all of those drawbacks, I still run because running is more than exercise or a way to stay in shape. I put my feet Questions? to the floor and Go online to runclub.ca the creakiness of or send an email to joberry@telus.net. middle-aged bones greets me. I do the mental calibration: the bed is warm, but the ground is cold. I was comfortable where I was and now I’m uncomfortable. Logic would have me stay in bed, but running is not about logic. Something is drawing me outside. The question of why I run is a question I ask myself all the time. At times, running seems absurd and I wonder why I would do something so crazy to myself. Some people say I’m addicted to running. I agree that running may be an addiction, but what I’m addicted to is not to “exercise,” but what running gives me. Running connects me to spirit in a way that nothing else does. It taps something deep inside me that is by its very essence a spiritual experience. That connection to spirit is what gets me out of bed in the morning. This is one of the goals of Boogie training — connection to the outdoors, community and all the lifelong joys running gives us. Join the Boogie movement. Contact Jo Berry by email at joberry@telus.net. For more information, go online to RunClub.ca and boogiethebridge.com.

COMMUNITY Classic car lovers should be at Riverside Park by 1:45 p.m. on Easter Sunday to see the parade of vintage vehicles arrive, as these beauties did on Easter Sunday last year. KTW FILE PHOTO

Kamloops Vintage Car Club Parade on Easter Sunday KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The Kamloops Vintage Car Club will hold its 48th annual Easter Parade this Sunday. Owners of the classic vehicles will assemble at The Dunes Golf Course in Westsyde, where breakfast will be

available from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The parade will leave the Dunes at 1 p.m., follow Westsyde Road, Eighth Street, Tranquille Road and cross Overlanders Bridge, where it will then go east on West Victoria Street, continue along Seymour Street, turn south on Fourth Avenue, go east on Columbia Street, turn north

on 10th Avenue and then west on Lorne Street, where the vehicles will assemble in Riverside Park at about 1:45 p.m. The vehicles will be on display until about 3 p.m. Last year, about 120 vehicles were involved. Vintage costumes and/or Easter bonnets are encouraged for both parade participants and spectators.

Ride Don’t Hide is adding an 88-kilometre route this year DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

The organizers of the annual Ride Don’t Hide event have added something new they think will appeal to Ironman athletes who like to push themselves to the extreme. In addition to the 10- and 23-kilometre routes cyclists can follow — routes that take them from Centennial Park in Westsyde down to Rivershore Park (and back again for those who want to go farther) — this year there is an 88-kilometre pedal from the Westsyde park to the McLure ferry and back. It is limited to 88 cyclists and those who raise $300 in donations will receive a custom jersey attesting to their lengthy trek, said Shelly

Trudeau of the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, sponsor of the event. For those who don’t cycle or don’t have a bicycle, there is also a five-kilometre walking route during the Sunday, June 24, event. It’s the sixth year for the ride in Kamloops. Last year, about 150 riders took part. In the past, just a few communities have adopted the fundraiser created by Vancouver teacher Michael Schratter. This year, it has gone national, with CMHA branches across the country getting involved. Schratter spent 14 months pedalling 48,000 kilometres around the world on a campaign to create a positive image of a person living with a mental illness. He travelled through six con-

tinents and 32 countries, writing mental-health columns for a Vancouver newspaper every couple of weeks. His trip was supported by the CMHA and led to the June events in Canada. While the focus is on confronting the stigma of mental health, there’s another practical reason for the ride, Trudeau said, noting the money helps keep the local branch’s programs running. In addition to the ride, there will be a barbecue, entertainment, guest speakers and prizes. There will also be a fundraising dinner on Sunday, June 10, at the Fox ’N’ Hounds Pub. Tickets are $15 and available by calling 250374-0440, extension 101. To register for the ride, go online to ridedonthide.com.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Violet Mabel Hudson (nee Christy)

A Life Of Service October 21, 1926 – March 14, 2018

Violet Mabel Hudson lived a long and productive life in Chase, BC until her death in Kamloops Hospice on March 14, 2018. Violet was predeceased by her husband Alford Gordon Hudson of 56 years in 2001 and her eldest son Thomas Norman Hudson on December 31, 2017. Violet is survived by her partner William Lemky of 12 years, brother Thomas Christy (Delores), daughter Dawn Koch and her son Gordon Hudson (Chris), her ten grandchildren and nineteen greatgrandchildren. She was also ‘Gramma’ to many foster teens. She was born at a Forestry Station in Fly Hill near Falkland where her parents Norman and Susan Christy lived, she grew up in both Lillooet and Chase where her family moved to in 1936. Violet married Alford Hudson from Anglemont and they raised their three children Tom, Dawn and Gordon in Chase, BC. Our family considered her a mighty woman who was always there to support and challenge us to achieve. Violet along with Alford joined a group of Ambulance Volunteers throughout BC using their own vehicles. Vi drove and Alford served as Emergency Aid Attendant. This volunteer service went on to become BC Ambulance Service. We joke that she could have driven that route blind-folded.

Violet worked for 37 years with the Postal Service in Chase which began with meeting the early morning train to receive the mail for the Village. Twenty of those years were in the Chase Post Office eventually retiring as Assistant Post Master. We will never forget their backyard of a vegetable garden, fruit trees and flowers. A visit meant that you would leave with a jar or two of her fine canning. Everyone knew that Mom loved Bingo and turkey dinners with family. Vi’s Community Service included the Chase Women’s Institute, serving as a Girl Guide Leader, volunteering for 20 years at the Anglican Church Thrift Shop and as a member of the Canadian Legion/Ladies Auxiliary for 70 years. Violet was honoured with a 65-year Gold pin and Honorary Member to Ladies Auxiliary of which she was very proud. A Celebration and Legion Service of Violet’s Life is planned for Monday, April 16, 2018 at 1:00 pm at Chase Legion Basement and welcome is extended to all who knew Mom. In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to the Kamloops Hospice Society or Chase Legion Bursary Fund.

Dad’s life revolved around his family…we felt loved and supported our entire lives. The “Bank of Bumps” was always open and he was the first to slip you a $20 when you left the house. His grandchildren were his pride and joy. He always made a point of connecting with each of them in their different phases and activities of life…hockey, elementary school, soccer, graduation, cancer treatment, high school, relationships, university and work.

Moonen, Eleanor

Dad slowed down in the last year but fought with stubborn determination to “get better”. In the last few months, he enjoyed visits from colleagues, friends and family; especially his two sisters, even though he never wanted to appear sick. We appreciate everyone’s calls, cards, emails and gifts. They meant the world to Dad. In his words, “I can’t believe how much people liked me!”

Eleanor passed away peacefully in Penticton on March 24, 2018 with Jim her loving husband of 53 years by her side. She is survived by her husband Jim; and her sister, Vicki Wark of Delta, BC. Eleanor was predeceased by her two brothers, Alex and John Danyliuk; as well as three sisters, Marie, Ley and Elsie. Cremation has taken place and there will be no service by request. The family wishes to thank the staff at Moog & Friends Hospice as well as Dr. Calitz and the Oncology Department at PRH. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to a charity of your choice. Condolences may be shared by visiting www.everdenrust.com

The last four years since our Mom’s passing were difficult for Dad and our one comfort is knowing that our parents are happily reunited. Dad is no longer “harassed and underpaid”. We appreciate the love and support from Pastor Jane Gingrich and our church family at Hills of Peace Lutheran…no one will know where to sit from now on! Many thanks to Dr. F. Kruger and staff for your compassionate care of Dad. He liked and respected Dr. Kruger very much. Thanks also to his three angels Sandra, Allison and Liz, who enabled Dad to stay in his own home, where he wanted to be, for so long. We are eternally grateful. We will be holding a service in Dad’s memory in late July. Details to follow. Both Mom and Dad were thankful for the care that Lizzie received at BCCH during her treatment for cancer. Should friends desire, a donation to the “Love For Lizzie” fund at BC Children’s Hospital Foundation which supports Pediatric Oncology Research, would be appreciated.

Throughout my career and travels as a chef, a term that continues to be extremely important is terroir. Terroir (ter'wÃ¤r) describes the complete natural surroundings in which food or wine is produced. Things like the air, soil, water and climate among others come together to produce an ingredient perfectly unique to its surroundings. When you shop local you taste our terroir, you taste the Thompson-Okanagan.
