Public market pitched for parkside parking lot Still in very early stages, Lorne Street proposal has already drawn the ire of some Kamloops residents JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A private group called the Kamloops Public Market Co-Operative is working on a proposal for a year-round public market. Preliminary plans include a 35,000-square foot, two-storey building located in the parking lot of Heritage House in Riverside Park. Plans show a parkade below the market. “Basically, an aesthetically pleasing building that would be open year-round and have farmers’ market in it,” said Byron McCorkell, the city’s director of community and protective services. The group has been planning for nearly three years and city staff have been working with it in a liaison capacity, as per the city’s urban agriculture plan. That plan, which was approved by council in 2015, includes partnering with community agencies to explore the feasibility of a year-round farmers’ market, “considering factors such as access for farm

This rendering shows the potential layout of a proposed public market, which would be located on the space currently occupied by the Heritage House parking lot at Riverside Park — the same slab of asphalt the city wanted to turn into a parkade in 2011. The public market proposal is in very preliminary stages.
vehicles, potential for cold storage, adequate parking and accessibility for the public and prospective vendors.” Year-round markets can similarly be found in Vancouver,
Winnipeg and in the Washington state cities of Bellingham and Wenatchee. While some version of this idea has been on the city’s radar for years, a Kamloops resident — who
found out about the private proposal before it was made public — has taken issue with the group’s proposed location in a parking lot adjacent to Riverside Park. Downtown resident and West
End Residents Association member Ruth Madsen got her hands on the group’s proposal and revealed it publicly during the public inquiry portion of Tuesday’s city council meeting. “You guys are considering commercializing it [Riverside Park],” Madsen said. “I’m so disappointed.” Outside city hall, Madsen told reporters she is concerned about a “big building down in our park” and setting a precedent. “I know it’s a city park, but this is our [downtown residents’] park,” she said. “Those other communities have parks of their own. Our major park in the city, Riverside Park, has got to stay a park.” See CITY, A17

SEARCH FOR RYAN SHTUKA CONTINUES THIS WEEKEND
Twenty-year-old vanished from Sun Peaks on Feb. 17 A busload of volunteers will leave Sahali Mall on Saturday morning, heading to Sun Peaks Resort to help in the ongoing search for Ryan Shtuka (right). Those wishing to help can board the bus before 8 a.m.
MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Each passing day feels like Groundhog Day for Heather and Scott Shtuka. “We search every day,” said the mother of missing Alberta man Ryan Shtuka. The routine is the same for the Beaumont parents — open the command trailer at 8:30 a.m., have volunteers sign in and search the area where 20-year-old Ryan was last seen. The Shtukas have been living in Sun Peaks for the past two months, ever since their son vanished without a trace on Feb. 17. Last seen leaving a house party on Burfield Drive at about 2:10 a.m. that day, Ryan is believed to have walked the short distance to his home in Sun Peaks. When he did not show up for work, Kamloops Search and Rescue began canvassing the area, but with no sign of Ryan as of Feb. 19, the effort was suspended. Unable to stand by and wait for the snow to melt to find their son, Ryan’s parents undertook search efforts on their own with the help of volunteers. “As a parent who loves our son, how could we ever go home and just say we’ll wait until the snow melts?” Heather said. This Saturday, another busload of volunteers will depart for Sun Peaks, courtesy of the organizers of the Missing: Ryan Shtuka Facebook page. The ride is free and will leave from the Sahali Mall parking lot at 8 a.m. returning at 4 p.m. Volunteers are asked to wear appropriate winter clothing and, while snowshoes and search equipment will be provided, searchers are encouraged to bring their own. Heather said she gets anxious about leaving Sun Peaks, noting she and Scott will not leave until the snow melts. “My husband’s been out there since Monday, Feb. 19,” she said. “It does not matter if it’s minus-20 and it does not matter if it’s plus-10, he goes out every single day and searches all day long.” She said Kamloops Search and Rescue is expected to return in mid-May to search once again when the snow has melted. In the 10 weeks since Ryan disappeared,
the Shtukas have had about 570 people volunteer to search — many of whom they did not know. She said without them, there would have been no one else searching for Ryan. “We’ve made some wonderful friendships out of this and the fact that so many people have cared is just unbelievable to us,” she said. As the couple has had to take time off work since Ryan vanished, Heather said she and Scott are also grateful for the donations people have made via a GoFundMe page, which has raised more than $83,000 to date. During the first six weeks after Ryan went missing, volunteers focused on the Burfield area and the route he would have taken back home, but the snow has made searching difficult. When they first started searching, the area was blanketed with snow, with some berms up to 14 feet tall and difficult to probe. There have also been three sniffer dog teams search the area, which also failed to find any sign of Ryan. Recently, the parents have refocused on a new area, following up on a possible sighting
of their son heading in the opposite direction of his home and toward an establishment in the village that may have still been open. “The description matches, the person was sober because they just finished work, so it’s a possibility; however, as much as that is positive, on the other hand … all it does is expand the area in which he could have gone,” Heather said. The tip has opened up a long stretch of Fairways Drive to Eagle Court as a potential area where Ryan’s body may be, making searching even more difficult. With the snow now melting, Heather said there is a better chance of being able to recover her son’s body. “We knew as soon as the first couple of days that finding Ryan, if he was in the elements, we would be doing recovery, not rescue,” she said. “The first week, it was really, really tough. I didn’t like sleeping because I wanted everyone to search all day long.” She said she believes her son likely succumbed to the elements. As for the possibility Ryan may have been met with foul play that night, Heather said “there’s no evidence that he left that hill whether willingly or unwillingly or unknowingly.” While she thinks about that scenario, she has to keep it out of her mind. “If I were to concentrate on that every single day, I wouldn’t be able to get up,” Heather said. “I need to get up every single day to search for him. As parents, we’ve done everything we could have done and I’m at peace with our search efforts.” Ryan Shtuka was last seen wearing dark jeans, a grey/white shirt, a blue coat and a burgundy ball cap. He is white, stands six feet tall and weighs 82 kilograms (180 pounds) and has blond hair and brown eyes. Anybody with information on the whereabouts of Shtuka is asked to call police at 250828-3000.

No tax talk in marijuana bills JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Municipal costs to legalize recreational marijuana cannot be quantified, but B.C. communities are still calling for half of the provincial cut of taxes. “Yes, there are costs, there are real costs,” Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said. “I believe that we should not be asking Kamloops taxpayers to pony up. I think that we should be getting that money through the people who are selling this product.” Christian and Sicamous Mayor Terry Rysz are among B.C. mayors who want 50 per cent of the provincial share of taxation when marijuana is legalized. The topic was noticeably absent from provincial updates on Thursday regarding what recreational marijuana will look like in B.C. Christian said exact costs for municipalities is unknown until legalization. So, where does that 50 per cent number come from? “So, why then should the province take more?” Christian asked. “Because they’re not doing as much. They’ll have the marijuana inspectors and they’ll be looking at policing in municipalities under 5,000. But from my perspective, there’s going to be tax on marijuana ... that money should be split between all levels of government that have a stake in making sure
that this is done properly.” Christian said the city is already incurring costs in the way of planning, bylaw enforcement, propertyuse, business licensing and RCMP resources. “All of those divisions of the city have staff that are actively working on these files,” he said. Asked if problems would not decline by legalizing the drug, Christian said greater marijuana use amongst the general population would lead to a need for drugrecognition experts to police roads. Asked what costs arise from adding liquor stores, Christian said such shops require monitoring from liquor inspectors and the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch. Those costs, however, fall on the province. “Except that there’s a bunch of factors that come into the municipality in terms of those inspections,” Christian said. “Things like the business licence fees, things like the fire inspections. All of that sort of stuff. So, the more of those you have, there’s going to be costs associated with that.” Christian added zoning will take up significant development and engineering staff time to set up distribution of stores. Council recently received a staff report on bylaw changes that would require cannabis stores be located in the same zones as liquor stores, 150 metres from schools and with a minimum distance of
Meet Taylor
150 metres between shops to avoid clustering. The city estimates between 15 and 20 stores will open in the Tranquille Market, downtown and in shopping centres as central as the Walmart complex near TRU and as far afield as Westsyde Shopping Centre. The topic will soon go to a public hearing. “I think we’re leading the effort in terms of the issue of zoning and congregation of recreational marijuana retail outlets,” Christian said. The province unveiled three bills on Thursday outlining how recreational marijuana will be regulated. It will have jurisdiction over wholesale distribution of cannabis and sales will be allowed through public and private stores to buyers ages 19 and older. “It looks like everything that we’re doing is allowable and recommended and that we’re following guidelines the government would play out as best practice,” Christian said. A community safety unit will target illegal sellers and a 90-day driving prohibition on drivers will be given to drivers under the influence of drugs. Government-run stores will be called BC Cannabis Stores, with the first outlet expected to open by late summer. Online sales are also in the works. B.C. is one of the last provinces to table recreational marijuana legislation in advance of legalization. — with files from Canadian Press

MORTGAGE MATTERS Co-signers are cool again! For the last few years it has been nice for first-time homebuyers to get out from under expensive rents and into home ownership – without the need for a co-signer. But changes to Canada’s mortgage rules have made co-signers a necessity for some buyers. What’s changed? 1) Stress test – buyers are subject to a higher interest rate to test their ability to afford future higher payments 2) Income rules – buyers require more proof of income, including: Job letter; recent pay-stubs; two years T-4 and T-1 General; two years Notice of Assessment from Revenue Canada. The new rules mean your bank or mortgage broker might ask for things they had never previously requested. 3) Bank Reserves – You could be charged more for borrowing because banks are being asked to hold onto more cash in case of mortgage defaults or missed payments. 4) Changes lead to changes – This change to mortgage lending rules is HOT off the presses, so not every lender has decided how to respond. Questions like, “What do you do about specialty mortgages like rental?” or “How do you properly price mortgages?” are on bankers’ minds. Regulators and banks are still working out the kinks in this new lending environment. As a professional mortgage broker, it’s my job to navigate the rules for you and to find the bank that will say YES to you, OR to outline a plan that will get a YES in the near future. I am here to help. Contact me anytime to find out what these mortgage changes could mean for you and your plans in 2017! Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has tossed out the videotaped confession of an alleged killer, ruling police did not retrieve the admission voluntarily. Wyatt Boffa, 28, is charged with manslaughter in connection with the Sept. 11, 2014, death of 61-yearold Jim Painter, who was found dead inside his home in a Clinton trailer park. Boffa was arrested in May 2016 and questioned over a weekend at the Kelowna RCMP detachment. Hours of audio and video
recordings taken during that questioning was played in a Kamloops courtroom earlier this year. The discussions ranged from a conversation about Tiger Woods to small talk about family. The questioning culminated in an admission from Boffa, who said he “stomped” on Painter’s head before placing him inside his trailer. Boffa told investigators he and a friend became involved in an altercation with Painter at the home of Boffa’s uncle. Boffa admitted to pushing Painter off a deck and beating him before the fight was broken up by family members. Boffa told police he and his friend then walked Painter home.
“He was still talking shit, so we beat him again, but this time it was worse,” Boffa said in the statement, admitting he “stomped” on Painter’s head. Defence lawyer Glenn Verdumen called the RCMP’s questioning of Boffa “intentionally protracted.” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Laura Gerow ruled in Boffa’s favour, stating the law allows some room for “police trickery,” but not so much that it violates the Charter rights of a suspect. Boffa’s trial is continuing without the confession. Charges against his friend, Kodi Tower, were stayed before the trial began.

A Maritimes man with a history of hitchhiking across Canada and beating up girlfriends in B.C. has avoided an indefinite prison term, but will be bound by a lengthy supervision order — one the sentencing judge said would be longer if it was legally possible. Prosecutors sought a dangerous-offender label for Craig Ferguson, who was sentenced last week
for his part in a violent assault against his girlfriend in a Merritt motel in 2012. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley stopped short of that designation, instead declaring the 41-year-old a long-term offender. Court heard Ferguson travelled with his girlfriend from Cape Breton to Merritt in the fall of 2012. On Nov. 17 of that year, he attacked her in a motel room. Ferguson wrapped a computer cord around her neck and told her
she would be “dead by six o’clock.” He also said the only way she would leave the room would be “in a body bag.” The woman escaped when a hotel employee visited the room. Ferguson chased her out of the motel and the girlfriend called police. Ferguson was arrested five weeks later in Truro, N.S., and has been in custody since. In 2010, he pleaded guilty to allegations stemming from another attack on a different girlfriend, also in Merritt. Dley said there
was not enough information available to rule the two incidents similar to establish the grounds for a dangerous-offender designation. Instead, Dley named Ferguson a long-term offender and ordered he spend a further 20 months in jail before being released on a 10-year supervision order. “That is the maximum amount available,” he said. “Otherwise, I would have imposed an even longer period of time.”

More than two-dozen people filled the gallery of a small Kamloops courtroom on Wednesday as the preliminary inquiry began for a man charged with murder in connection with a 2016 slaying in North Kamloops. David James Bond, 29, is charged with second-degree murder in connection with the Dec. 30, 2016, death of 42-yearold Sean Dunn. Dunn was found unconscious near the side of the road
on Wood Street near Tranquille Road. Emergency crews were unable to revive him. Investigators said at the time they believe the deadly altercation stemmed from an argument inside a nearby bar. Bond was charged in June 2017 with second-degree murder and later released on bail. Bond wore a white dress shirt and sat with family in the first row of the courtroom on Wednesday. Dunn’s friends and family filledw three rows on the other side of the room. The first Crown witness at the preliminary inquiry was
a forensic pathologist who described in detail the cause of Dunn’s death. During her testimony, she was asked by Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison not to raise in the air a book of graphic autopsy photos. Preliminary inquiries are hearings at which a judge determines whether prosecutors have enough evidence to proceed to trial. Evidence presented at preliminary inquiries is bound by a court-ordered ban on publication. Bond’s preliminary inquiry is scheduled to conclude on Thursday.

KEEPING CALM AMID THE CRISIS
A
mid the carnage in Toronto this week after the driver of a van targeted pedestrians, killing 10, a police officer in the country’s largest city has emerged in the spotlight for epitomizing grace under pressure. The driver had just committed mass murder and left the van holding something in his hand. It was pointed at Const. Ken Lam, who was alone in facing the man. The driver of the van screamed at Lam to shoot him, claiming he had a gun in his pocket. Lam stayed calm, assessed the situation and did not fire his weapon. His trigger finger remained still even as the suspect came toward the officer. Lam kept his gun pointed at the driver and eventually arrested him without a shot being fired. The remarkable scene was captured on video and brought to mind an incident in Kamloops in June 2016, when two local Mounties also remained cool under intense pressure. A man armed with a machete squared off against the two officers at the North Shore transit exchange and could not be subdued even after being jolted twice with a Taser. While he raged with the machete, the two officers remained calm, ensuring the man stayed clear of passersby while urging the man to get on the ground — the officers even said “please.” The man was eventually arrested without a shot being fired. The two incidents — this week in Toronto and a couple of years ago here in Kamloops — show that there are alternatives to the shoot-first mentality we have seen far too often south of the border. Of course there are times when police officers will need to fire their weapons, but there are times when patience and thought can accomplish much more than a bullet flying through the air.

Let’s get excited about public market idea
F
or the second time in seven years, some people are losing their minds over a parking lot. Not a park. A parking lot. In 2011, city council wanted to build a multi-storey parkade for vehicles on an existing parking lot for vehicles on Lorne Street. That the proposal involved a rather drab parkade right next to beautiful Riverside Park drew the ire of many residents. Opponents then achieved the remarkable feat of defeating the proposal by getting enough voter signatures on a petition. This week, another idea — not even yet at the official proposalto-council stage — has elicited anger from many and it involves the exact parking lot that, seven years later, still exists solely to house vehicles. A private group called the Kamloops Public Market Co-operative wants to see the current parking lot house a 35,000-square-foot public market — think of the fabulous year-round Pybus Market in Wenatchee, Wash., or the Bellingham Public Market or a much smaller version of the Granville Island Market in Vancouver. The Kamloops Public Market Co-operative is not, as many have mistakenly assumed, pushing for a farmers’ market; it is promoting a public market, of which a seasonal farmers’ market would be but one aspect.
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS Preliminary sketches of the proposed public market refer to 15 permanent stalls, 20 day stalls, 100 vendor stalls in the seasonal farmers’ market and special events and entertainment. A covered deck would overlook Riverside Park and the public market building would rise right next to Heritage House and its lawn bowling pitch. Below the public market would be a parkade — essentially sinking the existing parking spots a few feet below where they now sit. Inside the public market would be myriad shops: a cafe, community kitchen, restaurant, general market, arts and gifts shop and stalls selling beer, wine, ice cream and pizza. There would be a butcher, a baker and maybe even a candlestick maker. The idea is thrilling. If the plans on the sketches reach fruition, the public market would represent a massive improvement to what
exists today in that space. And, whether the current parking lot remains as is or re-emerges with a public market above it, our beloved Riverside Park will still be there, absolutely unaffected by this welcome and vibrant addition to the area. The difference between this idea and council’s short-sighted parkade proposal of 2011 is the value-added component in the public market proposal. The 2011 plan died because it was simply an expanded parking lot next to a park. This new idea would be a revised parking lot with a public market that could act as a magnet to liven up the downtown area. (Speaking of value-added ideas, perhaps if the city had incorporated condos above the proposed performing-arts centre and used the sales to cover the costs of the $91-million proposal, Seymour and Fourth today would be home to a magnificent arts centre supporting snazzy condos rather than a parking lot.) In any event, the public market proposal is, at this point, merely an idea. There has been no council discussion and no details on lease agreements or cost to taxpayers. That will come in due time. But the idea alone is one that should excite, not concern, Kamloopsians — at least those not prone to oppose change of any kind simply because it is change. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
THE RIGHT TO SAY YES OR NO MUST EXIST Editor: The Simpcw First Nation has made it clear that it wants the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain pipeline expansion to proceed. There were consultations, negotiations and, ultimately, an agreement between Simpcw and the privately owned company based out of Houston, Tex.
But while the Simpcw First Nation has said yes in a codified referendum — with 78 per cent voting in favour — and consented to the project, what is baked into the process is a belief that the nation could have said no. A party has no negotiating power at all without the ability to say no. And what of each and every other First
Nation along the pipeline route? They either also have the right to say yes or no to the project — just as the Simpcw First Nation — or they do not. It would appear that only the Supreme Court of Canada will be able to make that determination. Trevor Amon Kamloops
WE MUST COMPLETELY END OUR DEPENDENCE ON OIL Editor: I am opposed to Kinder Morgan’s expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline. As a country, we need to shut down all oil production. I agree it cannot be done immediately, but it needs to be done. We are all going to have to work on replacing oil and we can do it.
I know Alberta especially will be affected and it will not be easy. I will point out that Alberta created a problem when it stopped putting the money into its Heritage Fund while oil prices were high. This is a quote from former premier Peter Lougheed regarding why he created the fund: “To
save for the future, to strengthen or diversify the economy and to improve the quality of life of Albertans.” The part about diversity rings true today. If the Alberta government would not have stopped putting money into the fund, the province would not be in the place it is today.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CITY NEEDS NEW POLICY ON HOMELESS Editor: In Kamloops, the homeless population is increasing at a disproportionate rate and continues to rise from last year’s homeless count, which was approximately 100 people. As this year’s total is expected to be three times as high, it is clear Kamloops does not have the space in shelters to accommodate this increase, which is problematic. This concern is combined with the city’s minimal low-income housing opportunities, which leave too many people in our community without a roof. Although the Stuart Wood shelter was a step in a positive direction, it was an example of how desperate the situation in Kamloops has become — and the use of the space had its own challenges. Kamloops’ community and protective
services director has rightly acknowledged that “everyone has a right to shelter.’” New bylaws are allowing temporary shelters to be set up from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. in areas the city has deemed “acceptable.” Kamloops residents should be aware that the current bylaw have allowed overnight shelters from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., which cover no more than 10 square metres and which may not be connected with other shelters. The new bylaw, therefore, only allows an extra hour earlier for set-up for homeless people. This does not at all address the issue of homelessness and, in fact, increases the stigmatization of a group of people in our community who are already significantly marginalized. I urge the City of Kamloops to con-
sider further policy changes that would allow for increased funding of housing options for our community members that go without appropriate shelter. By implementing more shelter programs and providing extra services to support people transitioning into permanent housing, we can better support our homeless population. Through the implementation of policy, we can provide a safe place for people to go and feel like they are a part of our community. By taking these measures, we would be giving the homeless more opportunities to progress and receive the right to the shelter they deserve, instead of leaving them to find a spot that has been deemed “acceptable” by our city.

each
Editor: As a small business person in Kamloops (though not for much longer), I am constantly surprised at the rudeness I receive when I go to other businesses to offer my services. Does it not occur to these business people, that they are only in business because they are selling something to someone? Why would they treat a
salesperson entering their building with such disrespect? To compound my irritation and confusion, if they had an open mind and heard me out, they would realize I am only there to try to save them some money on something they need. Some of the big corporations have misled their clients into believing smaller companies are only out to cheat them.
This is a great tactic to help retain their ever-shrinking market. Sadly, most of the larger institutions use this to their financial advantage and their clients may never know the truth because they refuse to hear it. In the last few days alone, I have been rudely shooed away from a couple of small businesses.
Unfortunately, these are the very people that could use my help the most. Too bad they won’t at least listen and do a little research before quickly dismissing me. It’s been said the most expensive thing you’ll ever own is a closed mind. Too true.

Volunteers, staff make hospice a home Hospice association employs about 40 full-time staffers and receives help from approximately 120 volunteers JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
“For such a short time we are here, gifted years by silent explosions in the deep nothing of space. We are the star-dusted blips on the timeline of all things, half of a half of a blink in the history of it all.” Kamloops minister Dan Hines offered a poetic reminder about the fragility of life and a recommendation — be thankful. The profound effects of loss can be felt in few words. “Miss you, Mom. From Ron.” “Emilia, this would have been your 15th. Love grandma and grandpa.” “Agnes, missing you.” “This one just says jumbo. Meant something to somebody.” A dozen or so staff and volunteers read aloud handwritten memories before placing the notes into a bucket to burn at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. They gathered outside the palliative-care facility off Summit Drive in Sahali on a cold January day to pay respect for the dead. “They bring us some warmth, as well,” said volunteer Gordon Davis, huddled around the fire. Each December, the hospice sets up a memory tree and encourage people to jot down memories of the deceased. It’s a fundraiser, but also a moment to reflect when the memories are burned during a ceremony in the new year. “Then we take the ashes and we put it back in our gardens,” hospice executive director Wendy Marlow said. “It’s just a real honouring of the people who are leaving the memory and the people who have passed.” Death is the raison d’être for the hospice house. Staff and volunteers respect that and work every day to quell the facility’s intrinsic morbidity to make those who come to die feel at home. For patients and visitors, that might mean a bite to eat in the kitchen, a hug or a listening ear. The smell of fresh baking welcomes people into the building, cooked daily by volunteers in the kitchen and snapped up by family

Volunteer and board member Susan Ross is a former nurse and professor at Thompson Rivers University. She started as a patient volunteer shortly after the facility opened and eventually brought students to the facility as part of an interdisciplinary course about death and dying and life and living. In her retired years, Ross wanted to give back to the organization and volunteers on Thursdays, baking her legendary salted chocolate chunk cookies. When there’s time, she tries to cook a meal, especially when care-aides and nurses aren’t seen around the kitchen. “If I don’t see them coming, I know there’s lots going on,” Ross said. About 40 paid staff members and 120 volunteers run the full gamut of care, programming and fundraising, including Flutter Buys Thrift Store in Brocklehurst. Volunteer and board member Dorothy Woodward is one of the “Wednesday ladies” at the secondhand shop. “Some people come just for a hug because they know us there,” she said. While some tasks are reserved for paid professionals, registered nurses, care-aides and volunteers can be found doing a little bit of everything. The main objective is making the dying process comfortable. End-of-life wishes have been fulfilled by those paying attention.
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Hospice volunteer cook Susan Ross is known for her salted-chocolate chunk cookies. She bakes them at the hospice home on Thursdays and has given out copies of the recipe.
DID YOU KNOW? December is typically quieter at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. “I really believe that’s because people try to hold on to be home for Christmas,” executive director Wendy Marlow said.
It could be something as simple as wheeling a patient outside on a winter day to temper cabin fever to more elaborate plans involv-
ing a red Ferrari for a man who always wanted to hear the roar of the Italian sports car, wishes are granted. “A couple of us started phoning some of the car dealerships and I think it was within two days we had a red Ferrari in our parking lot,” Marlow said. “We hadn’t told him. … The look on his face.” Volunteer David Newman is a jack-of-all trades around the hospice. He’s given out his home phone number to staff if they need a hand during an odd hour and has sat with countless dying patients. “If they trust you, they tell you everything,” Newman said. “I said
everything. I mean that, the whole of their lives. All their secrets, all their sad things. Sometimes all their naughty little things. They will tell you everything. It’s a different relationship.” Nurses who work at the hospice know facilitating death conflicts with the idea of saving lives, but they say they take pride in offering kindness, gentleness and knowledge about the dying process. “The people that work here are passionate about making this part of people’s journey the best that they can,” said hospice clinical care supervisor and RN Kristin Pierobon.

community pledges. While Marlow is grateful, the new hospice building isn’t 100 per cent free. Marlow said she estimates it will cost an additional $100,000 annually to pay an added staff member and sustain the costs of running a second building. “We will need to increase our ongoing fundraising,” she said. The Evening to Remember gala returns on Friday, May 4, to the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre in Aberdeen. One of the association’s biggest fundraising events, it raised $99,000 last year. Marlow hopes to reach $125,000 this year to equip the expansion. The Enchanted Garden-themed event includes a plated dinner, dance, lottery board and live and silent auctions. Tickets are $100 and available at the hospice or online at kamloopshospice.com.

he Cooper Family Foundation — a philanthropic organization formed in 2017 by the family behind the Cooper’s Foods grocery stores — has committed to design and construct a new building on the western corner of the hospice property at 72 Whiteshield Cres. The foundation chose Kamloops Hospice Association as the first beneficiary of its charity because two Cooper family members died at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. Foundation CEO and president Nelly Dever said the family initially intended to donate $100,000. Then it became aware of the hospice’s plans for the building. “The family agreed, why don’t we build it for them?” Dever said. “They’re [Kamloops hospice] not going to have to do a whole bunch of fundraising for this. We can take it on ourselves.” While better known for their grocery stores, the Coopers have also been in the construction industry for four decades. With guidance from the hospice, they are taking on design work and construction. The building will allow the association to expand counselling services and community workshops, provide training and offer alternative therapy. Kamloops Hospice Association executive director Wendy Marlow said it was part of a three-year strategic plan. “It probably would have taken us a year to fundraise, a year to get everything,” Marlow said. “We would have been two years out, so it’s pretty exciting.” The estimated $1-million project will break ground in May and is expected to be completed by the end of the year. New programming is slated to begin in January 2019. To fund the project, the foundation is auctioning off a house in Aberdeen, which it also built. The 3,600-square-foot rancher-style house will be fully furnished and auctioned off via silent bidding from June 1 to June 30. The foundation will also match

Q&A with hospice leader Wendy Marlow has been facility’s executive director since 2012 KTW: IS IT A SAD PLACE TO WORK? Wendy Marlow: It’s quite interesting. Staff will say they were out somewhere and someone will say, ‘Oh, where do you work?’ They’ll say, ‘hospice.’ They’ll say, ‘Oh, I don’t know how you can do that. I could never do that.’ One of the things is they’re dealing with a lot of dying and a lot of grieving. It’s amazing in those two weeks, average of two weeks stay, it’s an intimate time. In my mind, giving birth and dying are pretty intimate times in our lives and we get to know somebody very quick. It’s a privilege they let us into their lives and so it is hard. We talk about boundaries and know that we have to make sure the focus is on the family and the patient because there’s triggers for us. Maybe, I’ve lost my mom and the patient in room five reminds me of mom and it’s a trigger for me or there was a particular family that something you just felt — drawn to them. We really look out for each other. Our staff have access to our counsellors. If we know there’s been a particularly difficult situation for us, maybe it’s a young mom or, we do something, what we call a debriefing right in the moment. We gather around and have a counsellor if they need and we’re just always checking in. Staff knows if they’re having a difficult time and somebody has passed, they can say I just need 10 minutes in the staff room and everybody respects that. We do things as a team. ... But really it comes down to just having each other’s backs. I’m pretty proud of the team. We’ve had staff who have worked here since the doors have opened. Also, we have new staff. We really work to prepare people, just so they know. They can’t carry all off that on. One workshop I went to said each death can be like a sweater and, if you just keep packing it on your shoulders, it can weigh you right down. You’ve got to make sure that when you leave you take that all off and you leave it here. I thought, that’s a really good picture. For me, that was very helpful.
DAVE EAGLES/KTW While people often prefer to die at home, the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home offers families a private room, convenient parking, simple visitation and staff and volunteers ready to lend a hand.
Family through hospice experience Eva Mayrhofer’s family valued the facility JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Ninety-four-year-old Eva Mayrhofer initially wanted to die at home. In trying to carry out her wish, her kids cared for her — washing her hair and arranging baths — so she could continue to live in her apartment. It got to the point, however, where it was just too much. “She was dying of cancer and we were unable to care for her anymore at home,” daughter Teresa Lomax said. Mayrhofer went to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home on April 11, 2017. The hospice offered a private room, convenient parking, simple visitation and staff and volunteers who were readily available if needed. “If not, you just go to the room and hang out,” Lomax said. “There’s always food available, which I tried to stay away from because there’s always baking — always. There’s usually a staff or volunteer in the kitchen preparing lunches. People really seem to go all out to make visitors and residents comfortable.” The hospice’s executive director, Wendy Marlow, said people often don’t fully understand what

it takes to die at home. Family members take on the roles of caregivers. “It’s wonderful to do, but sometimes a caregiver can crash,” Marlow said. “What’ll happen is we’ll bring the patient in and the caregiver can almost have a respite, where they can catch their breath. Where they don’t have to be 24-7 … the lengths people go to to care for somebody is amazing.” Mayrhofer died at the hospice on May 18, 2017, a month after she first arrived at the house. Lomax has since visited her friend Madeliene Hutchison, who was also a patient there until recently. “Going up there, I kind of felt like I was going home,” she said. “I remember some of the people. They remembered me. For me, I don’t really see it as a negative, creepy thing — people are dying. It’s just a very natural sort of thing that happens.”

Either way there’s been no leads,” Shelkie said. Most of Allard’s friends and associates that were spoken to at the time of his disappearance are now deceased. Shelkie said the lengthy gap in reporting Allard’s disappearance caused the file to go cold, noting such reports should be made right away as evidence is perishable. “The sooner we know, the sooner we can gather evidence and, especially in this time and age, there’s more tools to help us, like surveillance [footage] and if they’ve accessed their bank or social media — things that weren’t around when Lawrence went missing.” Had a report been made in 1975, Shelkie said, inquiries could have been made earlier, when people would have had a better recollection. “Two years later, people say, ‘I can’t remember the last time I saw him,’” she said. RCMP missing person files remain open until the person is found or their remains are located. Anyone with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

City: ‘no ask, no deal’ yet From A1
GORDON GORE PHOTO
SQUIRREL!
This squirrel, named Stormy by photographer Gordon Gore, seemed to be in no hurry during a recent trek down Overlander Drive in Westsyde. In fact, the little rodent even stopped to pose for a photo before continuing on his way.
Madsen told council she was concerned about closed-door discussions without residents who would be impacted. Madsen addressed council about the matter being discussed in-camera. Mayor Ken Christian said legal matters, contracts and land acquisition and deposition pertain to in-camera discussions. “There is a requirement of city council through those in-camera discussions to bring information forward to the public for consultation and we will do that when and if there is anything to discuss about the proposal,” he said. Further to that, McCorkell said, the parks and recreation committee took the land-related matter in-camera, which meant council was required to also hear it in-camera. He said the fact it has been discussed behind closed doors doesn’t mean anything, adding “there was no ask, there was no deal.” “I’ve never seen people defend asphalt the way people are defending asphalt,” McCorkell said. In 2011, a parkade planned for the same area proposed for the public market was nixed due to public opposition. Council had dedicated the money, but the parkade plan was defeated via a reverse petition, when opponents gathered enough signatures to kill the idea. When contacted by KTW, Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market manager Greg Unger wasn’t aware of the public market proposal, but said the market is “always looking to grow.” “We’re currently testing the waters with the winter market,” he said. “Something larger than that could certainly be feasible.”

No bull — Bramble is likely Brock’s biggest pet MARGUERITE DODDS
SPECIAL TO KTW
editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
Bramble has made his home on Jerry and Sue Rath’s Bar R Bar ranch in Brocklehurst since 2003. Tipping the scales at 907 kilograms (2,000 pounds) Bramble is arguably the largest family pet on the North Shore. It is not his size alone that makes Bramble unique — it is his breed. He is a Brahma, a breed from India that makes him a rarity in the area. “I do not know of any other Brahmas in Kamloops,” Jerry said, noting Bramble arrived via the age-old horse-trader economy. “My wife swapped him for an antique dresser.” Bramble showed up in 2003 amongst the usual batch of spring yearlings the Raths get. “We noticed immediately that he was different,” Jerry said. Although Bramble was the

same size as the others, it was his colour, his big ears and the hump on his back that made him stand out. It wasn’t long before the Raths realized Bramble wasn’t just another pretty face. “We found that he made a good babysitter for the yearlings,” Jerry said. “Each year, we rely on him to show the new arrivals where the water is, the gates for new pasture. “And, when we need to herd
them, we simply get Bramble — and the others follow.” The bull attracts a great deal of attention from the road. People often stop with bewildered looks on their faces as they capture Bramble’s photo on their cameras and cellphones. “He is friendly and will eat hay out of my hand,” Jerry said. “I have never heard of any other Brahma that is as old, as big or as friendly as Bramble. “He has got to be the biggest pet in Brocklehurst.”

Victoria targets pill presses in fight against fentanyl KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The provincial government is taking on pill presses and other pharmaceutical equipment being used to fuel the opioid crisis in B.C. The proposed Pill Press and Related Equipment Control Act includes many initiatives to help law enforcement deal with the fentanyl crisis. It aims at restricting ownership, possession and use of equipment that can be used to make illicit drugs. That would include automated pill presses, gel-cap machines and pharmaceutical mixers. “This bill is critical in bolstering police efforts to disrupt the supply chain and get counterfeit pills off of the streets and out of the hands of those who recklessly distribute death-dealing drugs,” said Mike Farnworth, minister of public safety and solicitor general. The legislation is described as more comprehensive than similar laws brought in by Alberta and the federal government in 2016. “We are losing too many people from all walks of life — friends, neighbours and loved ones — whose lives have been tragically cut short by a toxic, illegal drug supply,” said Judy
Darcy, minister of mental health and addictions. “We know that no illegal drugs are safe and introducing this legislation will make it harder for people to produce and distribute illegal drugs. We need to approach this problem from all sides and at all levels to save lives and prevent future tragedies.” Other actions the province is taking include: • Creating new dedicated anti-trafficking teams within the provincial RCMP and combined forces special enforcement unit; • Providing additional resources for all police agencies to support actions against organized crime importers and traffickers, to help stem the flow of fentanyl into B.C.; • Increasing support for police-based outreach in communities to proactively reach people who are seen to be high-risk; • Providing additional funding for the BC Coroners Service to expand the drug-death investigations team and meet an increase in workload and lab testing; • Supplying the City of Surrey with a $175,000 grant to help in their effort to combat
Controlled fire in Barriere area If you see smoke in the Barriere area in the next few weeks, it will likely be coming from a controlled burn in the Chu Chua area. The BC Wildfire Service and the Simpcw First Nation will conduct a 27-hectare prescribed burn in Chu Chua between April 26 and May 14, with exact timing depending on weather and site conditions. This prescribed burn will reduce wildfire risks in and around the Chu Chua community by removing fuels (accumulations of combustible materials) from grass fields near homes. The Chu Chua Volunteer Fire Department will help BC Wildfire Service crews control and monitor the fire at all times. The burn will proceed only if conditions will allow for low-intensity to moderate-intensity fire and for quick smoke dissipation. Smoke will be visible from the communities of Barriere, Darfield and Little Fort and from Highway 5 from Barriere to Little Fort. Smoke may affect visibility on Dunn Lake Road, so traffic control measures will be in place, if necessary. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call 1 800 663-5555 or *5555 on a cellphone.

The annual Day of Mourning for workers killed on the job will be held this Saturday. In Kamloops, a ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. at St. Andrews on the Square, downtown at Seymour Street and Second Avenue. The Canadian Labour Congress created and held the first National Day of Mourning ceremony on April 28, 1984, making Canada the first country to formally commemorate workers killed in the workplace. In 2017, WorkSafeBC accepted 158 work-related death claims in B.C.; 87 were caused by occupational disease primarily resulting from exposure to asbestos decades ago and 71 resulted from traumatic injuries. In the Thompson-Nicola region last year, six work-related death claims were accepted.
Libraries to close earlier
“No one wakes up to go to work, expecting it to be their last,” said Kamloops and District Labour Council president Barb Nederpel. “I love my job, but I’m not dying to go to work.” The Day of Mourning is recognized internationally to honour those who
Kamloops libraries will close an hour earlier beginning in May. The downtown and North Kamloops locations will close at 8 p.m. — instead of 9 p.m. — on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays beginning May 1. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District

have died, but it is also is a call for ongoing improvements for safer workplaces. This year, the Canadian Labour Congress has launched a campaign called Violence and Harassment: Not part of the job. “Whether it happens once or is part of a pattern, anyone can experience violence and harassment in the workplace,” Nederpel said. “And, far too often, workers do not know they have the right to refuse unsafe work and many others are afraid of coming forward due to possible retaliation, ridicule, or even job loss.” Saturday’s ceremony will feature guest speakers, including injured worker Mike Shaw, representatives from WorkSafe and Labour, KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod, Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar, and Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers.
said the change follows a review of evening hours, which found usage dropped “dramatically” in that final hour of operation. Staffing will be shifted around to times when public demand is higher. The downtown branch recently re-opened after a weeks-long renovation.

Love locks are coming to Riverside Park. Kamloops council has approved a fundraising initiative by the Kamloops Food Bank that will encourage residents to affix locks to a piece of artwork in Riverside Park. “It looks beautiful,” Coun. Denis Walsh said. The Locking in Hope project will see a steel structure spelling out the word “HOPE” built by A&T Project Developments and placed in the north end of the Sandman Centre parking lot. “There’s a little tiny island between the Rivers Trail and the parking lot,” City of Kamloops culture manager Barbara Berger said of a patch of grass in the area. “It’s on that

GLOBAL VIEWS
Here is what North Korea really wants
W
hat does Kim Jon-un want? One thing: security. He doesn’t want to conquer the world. It’s impractical as only one out of every 300 people in the world is North Korean. He doesn’t even want to conquer South Korea. It’s twice as populous as North Korea and 10 times richer. Eliminate the border and Kim’s regime would crumble in months. And he certainly doesn’t want to attack the United States. King Kim III (as we would have called him a couple of centuries ago) declared last week that North Korea has now completed the task of building a nuclear deterrent to ward off a possible American attack. It will return to the task of building its economy and prosperity instead. Indeed, it will “stop nuclear tests and launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles” and even shut down a nuclear weapons test site. He’s obviously laying out his negotiating position for the summit meetings planned this month with South Korean President Moon Jae-in and next month with U.S. President Donald Trump.
GWYNNE DYER World
WATCH KIm clearly wants a deal, but he has long been afraid of an American attack. There could be a deal, but only if Washington and Seoul acknowledge his fear is real. Here’s a little story from the Cold War. I only realized how deeply I had been affected by the propaganda I heard all my young life when I attended my first NATO military exercise in Europe as a journalist. It was the same exercise scenario as always, with Russian tanks surging forward to overrun Western Europe and outnumbered NATO troops struggling to halt the attack. I did know NATO wasn’t really outnumbered. It had almost twice
as many people as the Soviet Union and its allies and at least four times the wealth. It just chose to have smaller armies because soldiers are very expensive to maintain. Instead, NATO relied on the early use of nuclear weapons. But I had never questioned the threat of a Soviet invasion of Western Europe. Nobody did. One day, I was interviewing a senior British army officer and, for some reason, I asked the obvious question I had never bothered to ask before: What scenario did the Russians use when they ran their military exercises? Oh, he said airily, their scenarios imagine we have invaded East Germany, but after a few days they manage to turn it around and start pushing us back west. When their tanks are breaking through the Fulda Gap, we use nukes to stop them and the whole thing rapidly escalates into a general nuclear exchange. Well, of course. Would the Russians tell their troops they were launching a deliberate attack on the West that would end in a full-scale nuclear war? No. As the weaker side in the long confrontation, would they ever even consider doing that? Probably not.
But I had never considered the fact that the Russians were afraid of us. It had simply not occurred to me before that a country that had been invaded by everybody from Napoleon to Hitler, and had lost at least 20-million people in the Second World War, might be obsessed about the threat of being attacked by us. We were the good guys; surely they must realize we would never do that. Of course they didn’t. Maybe we were “the good guys” in that confrontation, in the sense that our countries were democracies and their countries were dictatorships, but in terms of threat perception and over-reaction, the two sides were identical. The situation on the Korean peninsula is the same story in microcosm. The Kim dynasty inherited a devastated country at the end of the Korean War in 1953. Its cities were levelled and at least one-million people had been killed. The Chinese troops who had helped North Korea went home after the war, but the American troops stayed in South Korea. Moreover, the Americans had nuclear weapons and would not promise not to use them — and
there was no peace treaty, just an armistice. The Kims built a large army as a partial and unsatisfactory counterthreat to U.S. nuclear weapons and started working on their own nukes as soon as the economy had been rebuilt to the required level. However, that big army created a threat perception in the U.S. and South Korea as real and acute as North Korea’s own fears. So, how might you negotiate your way out of this futile and dangerous confrontation? Pyongyang won’t give up the nuclear deterrent it has worked so long and hard to build. There’s not enough trust for that. But Kim is saying he is willing to leave it at its current small and technologically primitive level. It’s no real threat to the U.S. in its present form. Concentrate instead on a peace treaty that gives North Korea a sense of security at last. Demand as a quid pro quo that Pyongyang reduces its ridiculously large army to the same size as South Korea’s. And promise that once those cuts have been made, the US troops in South Korea will go home. It might work. It’s certainly worth a try. gwynnedyer.com

Cosby could get up to 10 years in prison CANADIAN PRESS
After failing to win a conviction last year, prosecutors had more courtroom weapons at their disposal for the retrial. The other accusers’ testimony helped move the case beyond a he-said, she-said, allowing prosecutors to argue that Cosby was a menace to women long before he met Constand. Only one other accuser was permitted to testify at Cosby’s first trial. Cosby’s new defence team, led by Michael Jackson lawyer Tom Mesereau, launched a highly aggressive attack on Constand and the other women. Their star witness, a longtime Temple employee, testified that Constand once spoke of setting up a prominent person and suing. Constand sued Cosby after prosecutors initially declined to file charges, settling with him for nearly $3.4 million over a decade ago. “You’re dealing with a pathological liar,” Mesereau told the jury. His colleague on the defence team, Katheen Bliss, derided the other accusers as home-wreckers and suggested they made up their stories in a bid for money and fame. But Cosby himself had long ago confirmed sordid revelations about drugs and extramarital sex. In a deposition he gave over a decade ago as part of Constand’s lawsuit, Cosby acknowledged he had obtained Quaaludes to give to women he wanted to have sex with, “the same as a person would say, ‘Have a drink.’” The sedative was a popular party drug before the U.S. banned it more than 30 years ago. Cosby also acknowledged giving pills to Constand before their sexual encounter. But he identified them as the over-the-counter cold and allergy medicine Benadryl and insisted they were meant to help her relax.
ASK A PET EXPERT Plecostomus are called by many names: plecos, scum suckers, algae eaters, bottom suckers and whoa that guy is ugly. These names are all unofficial of course! There are over 450 species of plecos ranging in size from a few inches upwards of 20 inches! These useful tank mates can live for over 10 years. It is important to pick the right one for your tank! Plecos come from warm waters and therefore need heat. They are not ideal for ponds in our Kamloops climate. Although plecos do eat algae, they need other things to keep them happy and healthy. Tank safe drift wood is essential as most varieties you see in our store will actually eat it. Sinking algae tablets, even though the goal HEATHER • 13 YEARS of having a pleco is often to help combat algae in your tank that is not a balanced diet for them. You would feed these tablets in the evening. Hiding spots are required to keep your pleco happy as most do like to keep fairly low profile during the day. Not all tanks should have plecos especially those under 10 gallons. There are other species of fish that can eat algae but stay small.

Families mourn victims of van attack MICHELLE MCQUIGGE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — The families shattered by a deadly rampage through the streets of Toronto include a seven-year-old boy now left without a mother and a son forced to bury the father who travelled overseas to visit him, community members said on Wednesday. While officials remained mum on the
identities of the 10 people killed after a van mounted a sidewalk along bustling Yonge street, some who knew the victims released details of the individuals who lost their lives on Monday afternoon. Those include Kamloops relatives of 80-year-old victim Dorothy Sewell. Fourteen people were also injured in the incident.
The latest identified victims include Renuka Amarasingha, a school board employee who was the sole caregiver for her seven-year-old child, Jordanian citizen Munir Alnajjar, who recently travelled to the city to visit his adult son, and a woman in her 90s who lived in a Toronto Community Housing complex in the area where the van attack happened.

Other victims include two unnamed Korean nationals, an unidentified female Seneca College student and an investment company worker with a love of volunteering. Police have charged 25-year-old Alek Minassian in connection with the incident, laying 10 first-degree murder charges and 13 attempted murder charges. An additional attempted murder charge was expected to be laid soon, investigators said. A monk at the temple Amarasingha frequented said she was an active member of Toronto’s Sri Lankan community and noted that the brutality of her death left many questioning the safety of the country they now call home.
“We think that Canada was a peaceful country, [but] that is a doubt we have if people do these kinds of things,’’ Ahangama Rathanasiri of the Toronto Maha Vihara Buddhist Meditation Centre said in a telephone interview. “This is a very sad incident.’’ Rathanasiri described Amarasingha as a kind and generous person who attended regular services and brought cookies to Sunday school students every week. Those students included her son, he said, adding the community is trying to raise money to provide for his future. Amarasingha had spent the past three years working as a nutrition services staff member at various schools throughout the Toronto District
School Board, the organization said in a statement, adding she was also an adult student at one time. On the day of the attack, she had just completed her first day of work at Earl Haig Secondary School, located near the crime scene, the board said. Rathanasiri said Amarasingha’s friends first became alarmed when she did not return home on Monday afternoon to look after her son as usual. Details also began to emerge about Munir Alnajjar, a Jordanian citizen in his 70s who also died in the attack. Harry Malawi, a family friend and president of the Jordanian Canadian Society, said Alnajjar was visiting his family
in Toronto with his wife when he was killed. He had only been in the country for a couple of weeks when the van attack took place, Malawi said, adding the family is in the midst of a three-day mourning period. “They are secluded right now and they ask everybody to accept their privacy,’’ he said. Investigators are looking at a Facebook post, allegedly made by Minassian, that praises Elliot Rodger, who killed six people and then himself at the University of California in 2014. The post also references involuntary celibacy, colloquially referred to as ``incel.’’ A Facebook spokeswoman said the account has since been deleted.

TORONTO — A Toronto police officer who has earned international acclaim for the peaceful arrest of a man accused in a deadly van attack does not want to be hailed as a hero. Deputy police chief Peter Yuen said the officer, Const. Ken Lam, feels there are many first responders and members of the public who should be praised for their actions in the moments after a van mounted a sidewalk, killing 10 pedestrians and injuring 14. “He wants to make sure that everyone understands he was not a hero, he was merely doing a job,’’ Yuen told a news conference on Wednesday. Lam, who has been on the force for seven years, clearly exhibited and understood police training when he arrested 25-year-old Alek Minassian, the alleged driver of the van, the deputy chief added. “That could have turned into a very tragic situation for more people — for the accused’s family and for officer Lam’s family, if he [Lam] had opened fire,’’ he said. Video footage of the interaction shows Lam talking to Minassian, who can be heard shouting, “Shoot me!’’ and “I have a gun in my pocket.’’ “I don’t care, get down or you’ll get shot!’’ Lam is heard shouting back. Lam, 42, is in “good spirits’’ and has been off duty since the incident, taking time to recuperate, Yuen said. “Any time an officer goes through a traumatic experience ... it is mandatory for the Toronto police service to have a debriefing and an aftercare program,’’ Yuen said. The after-care program will include a visit with a psychologist, he said. “When you go through traumatic experiences, there’s a cycle that you go through and some people can rationalize this and digest this in three days, some it’s three
months, some will be a lifetime. “For officer Lam, it

WALMART SHOPLIFTER SOUGHT On Thursday, April 12, a man entered the Walmart store on Hillside Drive. Once inside, he pretended he was shopping for some items in the electronics area. When he thought he wasn’t being watched, he concealed an item and left the store. Walmart has an excellent security monitoring system and images of the thief were captured. The suspect is white, stands 5-foot-10 and is about 20 years old. He was wearing a grey plaid hoody and a black baseball cap. If you know his identity and would like to remain anonymous — plus get a cash reward — contact Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477 or submit a tip online at kamloopscrimestoppers.ca.

SMASH-AND-GRAB NETS THIEVES GYM BAG
BOATERS NEED TO KNOW THE RULES
On Wednesday, April 18, between 8:30 a.m. and 10 a.m., a man and woman in a black Nissan car parked their car at a business on the Halston Connector. They then got out and broke into a nearby vehicle, smashing a window to get at a gym bag inside. The suspect Nissan vehicle had an Ontario licence plate — which belongs to a rental company in that province. If you have information on the crime and the identify of the thieves and would like to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
Warmer weather means it’s time to enjoy the sun and have fun on the water. Kamloops RCMP reminds boaters to think about marine safety and plan ahead. Before you go boating, always inspect your boat, monitor the weather, know the local hazards, have safety gear on board in case of a leak or if you need to alert others in case of an emergency, let someone know your navigation plans if going by yourself and always wear your life jacket. Everyone who operates a power-driven pleasure craft must carry proof of competency on board. Drinking and driving, whether on land or water, is illegal and punishable under the Criminal Code. It is well known that drinking and taking to the water can lead to dangerous situations. Operators are responsible for the safety of their guests and should consider other users of the waterway. Watch your speed. Don’t race to the lake and don’t race on the lake. Speed is a major contributor to accidents on the roadways and on the water. Be prepared to react in an emergency. Know how to recover someone who has fallen overboard. Know how to survive in cold water if you fall overboard. Before you go boating, read the Safe Boating Guide on Transport Canada’s website.

The city council of Uji, Japan, was scheduled to visit Kamloops this year as part of the two communities’ sister city agreement, but the trip across the Pacific Ocean has been delayed for two years. In a letter to Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, dated April 13, Uji Mayor Tadashi Yamamoto said his council has been looking to overhaul the frequency of visits and will next land in
Kamloops in 2020, which is the 30th anniversary of the sister city relationship. Uji will, however, be sending junior high school students to Kamloops this year. Then-mayor Phil Gaglardi formalized the sister city relationship in 1990 and delegations from each city have alternated visits to the other community. According to the City of Kamloops, the
purpose of the agreement is to promote cultural awareness, economic development and tourism. As part of the relationship, the City of Kamloops interviews and hires assistant English teachers to stay and teach in Uji. The teachers sign contracts of one to three years in length to help teachers in the Uji school system instruct kids in grades 5 through 9.

HOLMES IS WHERE THE
I
came across a fascinating statistic this week. Did you know more women get skin cancer than men, but more men die from the disease? The reason probably won’t surprise you. For the most part, men don’t seek help until it’s too late. It’s not a myth that men don’t go to the doctor as often as they should. It’s also a wellknown fact that men will not surrender to ask for directions, no matter how lost they get. If a piece of furniture comes with an instruction manual, men will likely put it aside. I often wonder why men feel that requesting assistance on some of these tasks makes them feel vulnerable and somewhat less manly. It is not rational to be stuck in the middle of a strange town or city and not ask a passerby for directions to the nearest coffee shop. The only time men seem to resort to asking these questions is on the Amazing Race, when there is prize money at the finish line. Some women do like men who take the lead and who are self-reliant, stoic, autonomous creatures. However, if you ask any woman if that means sitting in the passenger seat of a car for an extra hour with a man so stubborn that he refuses to roll down the window, they will tell
TARA HOLMES
Match Maker EXTRAORDINAIRE
you otherwise. In addition, men who won’t seek counselling services also frustrate women. This brings me to my current curiosity, which is why it takes men so much convincing to let me help them find a suitable match. I have more than a dozen happy couples who have been together for between five months and two years. On the weekend, I met up with one of those couples, who are now engaged. They are happy and in love and it brought me so much joy to see them together. If that man had not originally rolled down his window and asked me for directions, he would not have found the amazing, gorgeous, kind lady with whom he is smitten. Likewise, if that woman had been reluctant and declined when I first suggested she go on
IS
a meet and greet with this man, she would not be sporting that massive rock on her finger. I’m not saying every couple needs to get engaged. But if more men were willing to give personalized matchmaking a shot, they would be pleasantly surprised at how easy it is. Men are on Plenty of Fish and Tinder and even let ladies make some of those decisions on Bumble. If these men saw the quality of incredible women I have at my finish line, they would be lined up at the matchmaking starting gate. Guys, hear me out: go to the doctor, read the instructions, ask for help and, for God’s sake, roll down your window and ask me for directions. You don’t have to roll it all the way down — just a tiny opening is enough for me to give you a starting point. Here’s another fascinating fact: If you can believe it, it was actually two men who started one of the biggest self-help groups in the world in 1935. If you can tell me the name of that organization, I will draw for a $50 gift certificate to SaveOn-Foods and give it to a lucky winner. If you are a single, happy person and OK with a bit of direction in your life, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis.ca.

he started her hairdressing career in Kamloops more than 30 years ago and has been in the community ever since. In 2014, after working in the downtown core for most of her career, Janice took advantage of an opportunity to purchase and open her own salon on Hillside Drive. Janice wanted a name for the business that was edgy and youthful, so she and husband Rob created Rogue Style Hair & Beauty, which is entering its fifth year serving the Kamloops area. Janice spent the first few months as the sole operator in the salon, taking time away from other interests to focus on getting a solid start. Many days off were spent adapting the space to her vision. A few months later, a graduate from Kamloops Interior Academy of Hair Design became the first Rogue Style team member. Today, Alycia Stewart is a rising star in the salon with a growing loyal clientele. In November of 2017, Shawna Head and Jenn Roesnik (also from Interior Academy) joined the team.

Continuous education is what sets the Rogue team apart from many others. For 12 years, Janice was a national educator for John Paul Mitchell Systems and has imparted that knowledge and experience to her team. Rogue Style Hair & Beauty knows a strong local economy is crucial if a community is to thrive. The team appreciates the support it receives from the Kamloops community and strives to keep that connection by supporting neighbouring vendors. Advertising and marketing media, salon supplies and office supplies are purchased locally, while the salon gives back by raising money for the Out of the Ashes bursary, sponsored by the Phoenix Centre. Rogue Style is also committed to fundraising for the Father’s Day Walk/Run for Prostate Cancer Awareness, at which last year it was honoured as Top Fundraising Team.

There is no home. “I used to finish work and be coughing stuff up from all the particles in the air,” Taylor said of the year and a half he spent chasing chickens. “My eyes would just be swollen, just glued shut when I’d wake up to go to school. It’s really tough work. “I’d been, like, couch surfing and stuff like that in Armstrong, so I could work and practise, too. After school, I’d practise for four or five hours, then I’d go to work at 10, do chicken catching at night, go to about four or five in the morning and go back to school.” When Taylor talks, his eyes tell the story. They have seen hardship. That was evident when he broke from javelin practice on Tuesday outside the Tournament Capital Centre to speak to KTW. “I don’t really talk to my mom all that often and I’ve never met my dad,” said Taylor, who turned 17 in March. “I didn’t really have the best upbringing. My mom was into drugs. My stepdad … I was
abused pretty bad growing up.” Taylor moved to Armstrong from Edmonton about seven years ago to stay with his grandparents, who live in the area. He began working at a bottle depot when he was 12 and one summer he found work at the Round Lake Treatment Centre, doing maintenance in the morning and housekeeping in the afternoon. The bike ride to the treatment centre was a 44-kilometre round trip. Riding 20 kilometres to the bottle depot wasn’t so bad, but the uphill trek home was daunting. He had to work, though. Canada child benefit cheques, passed on to him by his grandparents, only went so far, especially when he moved into Armstrong for the school year at Pleasant Valley secondary. “Staying in town, I was couch surfing and renting rooms for days at a time,” Taylor said. “I wasn’t getting a lot of money, especially paying for all the track fees and going to meets. I had to pay for food, school fees. My javelin spikes are $200. That’s like two nights working at the chicken plant.” Taylor’s grandpa attended a residential school and it was there that he discovered baseball — where he discovered the rocket arm he passed on to Jacob. Baseball was not for Taylor, but when he picked up a javelin at Pleasant Valley in Grade 10, something clicked. “I went to my first meet, threw 45 metres and won,” Taylor said. “By the end of the year, I was ranked second in the country.” Kamloops Track and Field Club coach Dylan Armstrong became

coach at the event. Taylor destroyed the competition, throwing 57.23 metres with the 600-gram javelin to set a NAIG record. The silver medallist, Dylan Francis of Nova Scotia, measured in at 40.55m.
Taylor, a member of the Okanagan Indian Band, also won gold in discus with a toss of 42.31m. Keith Dennis of New Brunswick threw 37.41m to win silver. See TAYLOR, A37

Raptors want to wax Wizards NEIL DAVIDSON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Raptors’ guard Delon Wright refused to take the bait on Thursday when asked about some trash-talk from Washington’s Kelly Oubre Jr. The Wizards forward slid in a barb after Wednesday’s 10898 Game 5 NBA playoff loss in Toronto. Wright was a key man on the night, scoring 11 of his bench-high 18 points in the fourth quarter to help the Raptors take a 3-2 lead in the first-round playoff series. “The next game is a different story,’’ Oubre told the Washington Post. “We’re back at home. Just like Delon doesn’t play well anywhere else, you know, other than at home. You
can kind of chalk it up as the same story.’’ Asked about the comment, Wright chuckled. “Yeah I saw it,’’ he said. “That’s just his opinion. I didn’t play as good as I did at home there, but he made it sound like I was just a total bust. We’ll see (in) Game 6.’’ As he walked away from reporters, he suggested he might have a fuller response after the game “when we win.’’ The Raptors head to Washington, looking to wrap up the Wizards on Friday by notching the first away victory of the series. Toronto lost Games 3 and 4 there, reverting to some bad old habits. “We need to go out there, execute the game plan, play our
game,’’ Raptors’ point guard Kyle Lowry said. “Understand where we are. We’re on the road. We understand that things are going to be a bit different but we’ve got to stay focused.’’ Game time is 4 p.m. With backup point guard Fred VanVleet nursing a shoulder injury, the minutes are up for both Lowry and Wright. Coach Dwane Casey hopes Wright will continue his fine work from Game 5, taking shots he passed up in a tentative fourth quarter in Game 4. “He’s got the green light,’’ Casey said of Wright, who turned 26 Wednesday. “He’s a very good three-point shooter ... If the game gives him the three-point shot, he’s got to take it.’’
CLASHING WITH WOLVES
TRU WolfPack outfielder Adam Filmon was able to hold on to the ball despite this collision with Cole Paquin at Norbrock Stadium on Wednesday. TRU earned a split in a Canadian College Baseball Conference doubleheader against the Okanagan College Coyotes of Kelowna. The WolfPack won the first game 3-2, but fell 6-5 in 10 innings in the rematch. TRU will play four games against the Dinos in Calgary this weekend.

Niles taking aim at Zone 2 golf title MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Rivershore Golf Links member Adam Niles has big FootJoys to fill. The B.C. Golf Zone 2 Junior Tour’s Order of Merit was won in 2016 by Terry Cousineau and 2017 by Wyatt Brook, both golfers from Kamloops. Niles, the only male Kamloops golfer who has played on tour this season, leads the Order of Merit standings after four tournaments. “Hopefully, I can win and keep the streak going,” Niles said. “It’d be a great honour knowing that my friend [Brook] won it last year. We play golf together all the time. We went to school together.” No one on tour is surprised to see Niles on top. He is in the juvenile 15-and 16-year-old category, competing against golfers in the junior 17- and 18-yearold division for the overall title, but he punches above

his weight. Last year, Niles was in the bantam 14-and-under division and managed to place eighth in the Order of Merit standings. The Valleyview secondary student, who turns 16 in June, shot 75 to win the juvenile low gross category at the tour’s first stop of the 2018 season, a tournament held at Osoyoos Golf Club on April 14. Niles tied with Justin Towill, but the Kelowna golfer edged him in a playoff. Niles fired a 74 to win the
juvenile low gross at Nk’Mip Canyon Desert Golf Course in Oliver on April 15. Last weekend, he won the overall low gross by shooting 73 at Penticton Golf and Country Club and followed with a second-place lowgross finish in the juvenile division at Summerland Golf and Country Club, with a 77. Next up are two rounds in the Little Apple, at The Bear Course at Okanagan Golf Club on Saturday and at Kelowna Springs Golf Club on Sunday.
“I’ve played Kelowna Springs once and I’ve never played The Bear,” Niles said. “It will be a challenge.” Brook’s exploits on tour last season helped him claim a golf scholarship at Vancouver Island University in Nanaimo. He won a pair of Pacific Western Athletic Association events this season, placed fifth overall in the conference and 22nd at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association Championship. Niles is three years younger than Brook, but he can hang with his buddy from Rivershore. “I know that when we go out and play together, I can keep up with him and hit the ball just as far as him,” Niles said. “Knowing I can play with him is great for me because I know I can get a full ride somewhere if I keep progressing.” Brook (who is not playing on a full-ride scholarship) said he wouldn’t be shocked if Niles landed at an NCAA Division 1 or 2 school. “Lots of guys, when they reach Grade 9, they start to
regress,” Brook said. “He’s going the other way.” Three stick-swingers from the 2017 Zone 2 campaign earned scholarships at U.S. schools — Tiegan Taylor of Kelowna (New Mexico State), Emma Sabbagh of Kelowna (South Dakota) and Braeden Cooper of Vernon (North Dakota). Michael White of Princeton earned a scholarship at McGill University in Montreal. Niles is not the only hotshot young buck on tour this season. Matt Hopley, the only bantam-age player to finish higher than Niles last season, is second in Order of Merit standings this year. “He’s a great friend of mine and a great competitor,” Niles said of Hopley, a member at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf and Country Club in Kelowna. “He had a really good year last year. Being on the putting green and range, we always have fun. When we get out there, we’re a little more serious, but it’s still fun.”
Niles and Hopley were on the Zone 2 select team that won gold at the Provincial Juvenile Championship in Nelson last year. They will be taking aim at the same first-place prize at tour stops in Kamloops next month — at Rivershore on May 5 and Kamloops Golf and Country Club on May 6. Georgia Miller, the best female junior golfer in Kamloops, according to Niles, will also be in action. Niles might be a touch biased, as he lives across the street from Miller and golfs with her at Rivershore, but the 17-year-old sharpshooter won the overall low net at the Summerland stop last weekend, so Niles’ claim seems solid. Eagle Point Golf Resort and Talking Rock Golf Course will host on May 26 and May 27, respectively. The Tour Championship will be held at Gallagher’s on June 9 and June 10, with the winner receiving exemption for the Mackenzie TourPGA Tour event at the same course the following week.

Whitecaps need a win Leafs’ Matthews frustrated JIM MORRIS
CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Style points won’t be top of mind for the Vancouver Whitecaps when they face Real Salt Lake on Friday night. Snapping a threegame Major League Soccer losing streak is all the Whitecaps will care about when they host Salt Lake at BC Place Stadium. “The main thing here is we need to win, pretty or ugly, just win,’’ captain Kendall Waston said. It’s only the ninth game of the season for Vancouver, but Waston didn’t hesitate to label the match a must-win. “Must-win, yes of course,’’ said the big Costa Rican defender. “Nothing else. “In our mind only three points and that’s it.’’ Kickoff is slated for 7:30 p.m.
The Whitecaps suffered the worst defeat in their MLS history when they were throttled 6-0 by Sporting Kansas City last weekend at Children’s Mercy Park. Forwards Yordy Reyna and midfielder Efrain Juarez were handed red cards during a melee in the 40th minute when Vancouver was already trailing 3-0. Midfielder Felipe said the Whitecaps are facing a test of pride. “Now it’s not about the beautiful soccer,’’ he said. “It’s about how much we care about this team, how much we show personality next game. “That’s what good teams do. It’s a wakeup call. Play ugly and win. The most important thing is to get three points.’’ After a promising start to the season Vancouver (3-4-1) has
tumbled down the table and now sits in the sixth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference standings with 10 points. Both Real Salt Lake and the L.A. Galaxy have 10 points from 3-3-1- records but have played one less game. Salt Lake beat Vancouver 2-1 at Rio Tinto Stadium two weeks ago. Head coach Carl Robinson has faced criticism this season for playing a bland, unexciting style that has failed to produce goals. The Whitecaps have been outscored 10-1 over during their losing streak and 17-8 on the season. Vancouver’s minus-nine goal differential is the worst of any team in the league. The Whitecaps were booed off the field by their fans following a 2-0 loss to Los Angeles FC April 13.

BOSTON — Auston Matthews described scoring in the playoffs like feeling “an earthquake in your feet’’ following his winner in Game 3 of Toronto’s series with the Boston Bruins. Unfortunately for the Maple Leafs and their star centre, there wouldn’t be any aftershocks. Matthews could only muster that one goal to go along with a solitary assist as the Leafs fell in seven games to the battle-tested Bruins in the first round of the NHL playoffs. Toronto fought back from a 3-1 deficit in a series that started off with embarrassing 5-1 and 7-3 losses in Games 1 and 2 before blowing a 4-3 lead in the third period of Wednesday’s 7-4 defeat in Game 7. Asked to assess his overall play in a quickly-emptying Leafs’ locker room following his team’s elimination, Matthews was blunt. “I thought the first half of the series probably wasn’t good enough,’’ the 20-year-old said. “The [second] half of the series, had chances. I thought I did
things right for the most part and couldn’t capitalize on the opportunities. Sometimes that happens. That’s the way it goes. “You always want to contribute on the scoresheet. It’s frustrating.’’ That frustration can be borne out simply by looking at the numbers. Matthews directed 27 pucks on goal against Boston — tied for fourth in the entire first round — but had a shooting percentage of just 3.7 over the seven games. He also saw eight more of his shots blocked, while 10 missed the net. Compare that to the regular season where Matthews had a shooting percentage of 18.2, scoring 34 times despite missing 20 games through injury. While the stats suggest he was unlucky in the series, the former No. 1 pick received extra attention from the Bruins, with Boston head coach Bruce Cassidy deploying centre Patrice Bergeron and hulking defenceman Zdeno Chara as much as possible when Matthews was on the ice. The line of Bergeron, David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand
not only kept Matthews and his linemates off board in the first two games, they also put up 20 combined points in successive routs. Fellow youngster Mitch Marner had two goals and seven assists to lead Toronto in the series, but the Bruins still focused on Matthews, who had four goals and an assist in the Leafs’ six-game loss to Washington in last springs’s first round. “The bottom line is the league is a real good league and when you’re a real good player, you play against the best players who check you the hardest,’’ Leafs head coach Mike Babcock said. “They’ve got the scouting report on you, they work hard. That’s just the way it is. Part of your growth process is learning to fight through that. “These other teams are competing and they want to win too ... Bergeron and Marchand and Chara and these guys, they’re dialled in to play against you so you’ve got to find a way to get to the next level.’’ Boston and Tampa Bay begin their second-round series on Saturday in Florida.

Taylor has eye on Paris 2024 ACTIVITY PROGRAMS
From A33
“He’s a little guy, but he’s got a big heart, he works hard and he’s got a hell of an arm on him,” Armstrong said on Tuesday, responding to questions in between instructional bellows directed at Taylor. “I told him, ‘If you want to have a decent chance of getting better, you should consider moving here and training with the Kamloops Track and Field Club.’” Taylor moved to the River City in September and began living with a host family, but has since moved into a seven-bedroom house on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. He buses about 30 minutes to the TCC in the morning and trains before attending classes at Valleyview secondary. After school, he trains again. He smiled when reporting an impending move to his own apartment in town. “I’m going to be training seven hours a day,” Taylor said, noting Sunday is usually his only day off. “I come down here and lift in the morning. I have a lifting schedule. I have to follow it pinpoint. After a few classes, I train again — throwing, biomechanics, technique. Then I go lift again.” Winter work is paying off. Taylor threw 51.20 metres to win gold at the Birger Solberg Invitational in Bellingham on April 7. The following weekend, he threw 49.95 metres to win gold at the 4A Tumwater (Wash.) High School Invitational, 51.82 metres to finish first at the Tacoma Invitational and 50.75 metres to claim silver at the Terrace Invitational in Edmonds, Wash. The traditional body type for javelin throwers is tall and slim. Some of his oppostion down south stood 6-foot-4. Taylor is 5-foot-8 and weighs about 160 pounds. “I kind of go in and expect to win,” Taylor said. “I trained really hard for this. It’s kind of, yeah, I wasn’t expecting any less. A lot of the guys in the States, they’re bigger and they look at me funny. I’m not a

very big guy. It really just kind of blows them out of the water when I go up and do a standing throw.” How often does a Grade 11 javelin thrower from the Interior finish atop the podium at 4A and 5A U.S. high school meets? “That just doesn’t happen too often,” Armstrong said. “Jacob’s definitely got a bright future. He’s got a real rocket of an arm.” At each of those U.S. meets, he threw the 800-gram javelin, with which he has rarely practised. The 700-gram spear is his weapon of choice for now. Taylor has until June 10 to reach the qualifying mark for the Under-18 North America, Central America and Caribbean Athletic Association Championships, which run from June 21 to June 23 in Managua, Nicaragua. He is throwing the 700gram javelin about 58.70m and needs to reach about 66m
to qualify for the Nicaragua event, which doubles as trials for the Youth Olympic Games. “It’s a difficult standard to meet and we don’t have a lot of time,” Armstrong said. “But we can get there.” Taylor, the No. 1-ranked under-18 javelin thrower in Canada, will be in action this Saturday at the Battle of the Border track meet at Hillside Stadium. His only real competition in the province, Jarrett Chong of Burnaby, will be aiming to dethrone Taylor. Chong, who was ranked No. 1 in the nation before Taylor burst onto the scene, threw 57.06m on April 7. Taylor holds the No. 1 spot with a toss of 58.46m. He is second-best to Chong in discus. The Burnaby athlete holds top spot in 2018 Canadian rankings with a throw of 40.93m. Taylor’s best heave travelled 33.51m. There is one reason Taylor is still in high school — track and field. He finished many of his graduation requirements nearly two years early, but must remain enrolled to maintain eligibility for high school meets.
“School comes easy to me,” Taylor said. Armstrong noted there have been meetings with Taylor and Valleyview secondary staff, gatherings designed to make sure the fledgling athlete brings the same effort to the classroom that he exerts in track. Taylor listed a few postsecondary options he may pursue: Throwing javelin at Florida State University, going to Germany to train with the world’s best and chasing a series of degrees before enrolling in law school in Toronto. “I really want to be able to make Olympic teams,” Taylor said. “Hopefully Paris 2024. I want to represent the country.” After chatting with KTW, Taylor returned to training. He methodically went through his routine, holding the javelin steady above his head while making his approach. His steps quickened as he prepared to unleash. Then, liftoff — Whoooooooshhhhh! No matter where Taylor lands, he will have come a long way.

MONACO — New rules for female athletes with high natural testosterone levels could force two-time Olympic 800-metre champion Caster Semenya to stop running middle-distance races. From Nov. 1, the IAAF will limit entry for all international events from 400 metres through the mile to women with testosterone levels below a specified level. Women with elevated testosterone must reduce their level for “six months (e.g., by use of hormonal contraceptives)’’ before being eligible to run, and maintain that lowered level. “We have a responsibility to ensure a level playing field for athletes ... where success is determined by talent, dedication and hard work rather than other contributing factors,’’ IAAF president Sebastian Coe said in a statement. “Our evidence and data show that testosterone, either naturally produced or artificially inserted into the body, provides significant performance advantages in female athletes.’’ Semenya now faces taking daily medication or start racing at 5,000 metres. Without the rules, the 27-year-old South African would likely defend her 800 world title in Doha, Qatar, next year. She also took bronze in the 1,500 at the 2017 worlds in London. In 2011, the IAAF enacted a rule to force athletes with
hyperandrogenism to artificially lower their testosterone levels to be eligible to compete. Two years earlier, Semenya clocked a 1-minute, 55-second time to win her first world title as a teenager in Berlin. While the previous rules were enforced, her seasonbest times were around 1:59 or slower. The previous rules were challenged at the Court of Arbitration for Sport by sprinter Dutee Chand of India and overturned before the 2016 Olympics. In Rio de Janeiro, Semenya retained her Olympic title, running 1:55.28. On her Twitter account Wednesday, Semenya did not comment but posted an image of the statement: “How beautiful it is to stay silent when someone expects you to be enraged.’’ The South African Olympic body’s president said it was “disappointed by the IAAF ruling, and especially given that Caster’s name is again being dragged through the publicity mill.’’ “We are concerned that the decisions have been approved without taking into account all factors,’’ Gideon Sam said, add-
ing that athletes’ “dignity and human rights are at the top of the agenda.’’ The new IAAF rules could yet be challenged at CAS, including by Semenya or South African sports bodies. Still, the IAAF said Thursday there is “broad medical and scientific consensus, supported by peer-reviewed data and evidence’’ to back its position. “There is a performance advantage in female athletes with DSD (Differences of Sexual Development) over the track distances covered by this rule,’’ Dr. Stephane Bermon, who works in the IAAF medical and science department, said in the statement. Research over a decade showed 7.1 in every 1,000 elite track and field athletes had elevated testosterone levels — 140 times greater than the female population. “The treatment to reduce testosterone levels is a hormone supplement similar to the contraceptive pill taken by millions of women around the world,’’ Bermon said. “No athlete will be forced to undergo surgery.’’
Tiger will enter Wells Fargo next week CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Tiger Woods is returning from his post-Masters break at the Wells Fargo Championship next week. It will be his first time playing at the Quail Hollow Club since he missed the cut in 2012. Woods won the tournament in 2007. Woods announced on Thursday he will be playing consecutive weeks at the Wells Fargo Championship and The Players Championship.
Last year, 59 percent of B.C. workers who died on the job worked in a high-risk industry.

MONECA JANTZEN KTW Graphic Designer RunClub+ Boogie is here. All the work that goes into this amazing annual event is about to pay off in a multitude of ways. Everyone who has set goals and worked hard over the last eight weeks, participants and organizers alike, will enjoy a fun day of high spirits and positive energy on Sunday. As a participant, I will walk my five kilometres. I will celebrate with my co-workers, friends, acquaintances, fellow RunClub+ folks and coaches. Afterwards, I will continue working toward physical and emotional change. I will view Boogie as one step in my progress toward a healthier lifestyle. As I have taken similar steps many times throughout my life with varied success, I am going to focus on today. I’m not going to dwell on my countless short-lived successes to achieve my “right” weight. I am not going to feel inadequate because my sister does full triathlons for fun. What’s important is what my body can do now. Given that I have mostly viewed my body as a source of frustration and betrayal, I realize that ignoring it is hardly the answer. The sheer act of moving and reconnecting with my body’s physical capabilities (or limitations) is necessary. While I can no longer do all the things I used to be able to, my body still does many wonderful things for me. It still deserves respect and care. Movement is change.
GROUP GOAL WARM-UP

Taper week! Our main focus for this week as we approach Boogie is tapering. It refers to the reduction of exercise before a competition or race. We need to make sure our bodies will feel rested for race day. It’s all about getting mentally prepared, eating the right foods and getting eight hours of sleep every night. We won’t be doing any hard workouts as we don’t want fatigue for race day, but we can do light, race-pace workouts earlier in the week to help stay sharp. These past eight weeks have gone by quickly. It seems like yesterday that we were doing the RunClub introduction at the Sandman Signature Hotel. I am glad I became a part of such a positive, energized group. I would say I reached my goal of making running a part of my lifestyle and, if not for RunClub, I would not have achieved that. From being around this group of individuals, I have learned a lot about mental health and the benefits of running, which leads to long-term benefits for our bodies and minds. I am looking forward to running in my first Boogie The Bridge event this Sunday. It will be filled with a community of excited, energetic and positive Kamloopsians and I can’t wait!
And so it comes to this: the roar of the crowd, the sea of red, the unquenchable and inimitable enthusiasm of Jo Berry leading the warm-up dance at the start line. It’s Boogie time in Kamloops. Am I prepared? Not nearly as much as I should be or wanted to be (see previous “why the dog ate my homework” columns about missing RunClub sessions for various reasons). But thankfully, it’s enough. Because Boogie isn’t about competition — except against yourself. And even then, it’s not about personal bests. Every start is a victory, as is every finish. And the rewards during Boogie are constant: the wonderful live music along the way, the cheering crowds and the messages of encouragement adorning the path before you. They are what make Boogie stand out so much from other well-meaning community runs, like that little one they do in Vancouver. It’s a celebration of community, of health, of Kamloops. It’s one of the things that makes me so proud to be a Kamloopsian and I’m so pleased to be part of a great team at Kamloops This Week that plays a part in supporting it. It’s been a wonderful journey every step of the way. Thanks for sharing the journey with me on this page and best of luck to my more dedicated fellow diarists Moneca and Evan — and to all of you doing Boogie this year.

Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Nancy Delwel-Hanna
Andy (Andrew) Melnychuk Andy (Andrew) Melnychuk of Kamloops passed away on April 19, 2018 at 91 years of age.
Following a courageous battle with leukemia, Nancy passed away surrounded by her family in Vancouver, BC on March 31, 2018, at the age of 48. Nancy will be dearly missed by her husband Shane, daughters Meghan (Code) Bint, Katlyn (Robyn) Diddams and her granddaughter Hanna. She is also survived by her sisters Sylvia (James), Wilma (Sam) and her brother John (Pauline) as well as numerous nieces and nephews and too many friends to mention. Nancy was strong, resilient and feisty and faced her illness with grace and dignity. She was our hero! An open house in memory of Nancy will be held on Saturday, May 5, 2018 beginning at 3:00 pm at #28 - 1395 Prairie Rose Drive in Kamloops, BC. Should friends desire, donations in Nancy’s memory would be appreciated to: Jean C. Barber Lodge c/o Canadian Cancer Society 575 W 10th Ave, Vancouver, BC V5Z 4C3 To quote Nancy: “They really need a new couch!”
1934 - 2017
Andy was born on March 18, 1927 in Brosseau, AB. Andy and Nettie married in 1953 and moved to Kamloops in 1964 where he worked as a mechanic. When he retired, he enjoyed puttering in his garage and found a new pastime in carpentry. Andy loved spending time with friends golfing, playing crib and joking around with grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Andy was a glass half full kind of man, finding the positive in all situations. His sense of humour was infectious and you could always count on getting a laugh from him. Family was the most important thing to him and he was proud of all his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He will be greatly missed. We will always remember what he said:
Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon, and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.
“Life is beautiful, don’t rush it.” A family celebration will be held at a later date as Andy did not want a formal service.
We Miss You Every Day
The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the Interior Health Community Care team, Dr. Kraig Montalbetti and his staff and to everyone at the Kamloops Hospice for their compassion and support. In memory of Andy, donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Cr. South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9, would be greatly appreciated.

Lily Dubitz Aulin
April 12, 1930 – April 22, 2018 Lily Dubitz Aulin was born at home in Shalka, Alberta, and was the beloved “Easter Lily” to her parents and nine siblings. Life on the farm was challenging, but Lily loved berry and mushroom picking, family gatherings and picnics on the lake. She especially loved school and excelled through grade 10, after which she moved on to secretarial college in Edmonton. She got a job with Canada Packer’s as soon as she graduated. Lily played soft ball, bowled, skated and adored going to the movies. On a trip to Chase, BC, she met Johnny Aulin and, after two years of letter writing, married him in September 1951. John and Lily had the kind of marriage that most can only wish for, built on pure love, mutual respect and compassion. Lily wanted a huge family and delighted in her six children, eight grandchildren and six great grandkids. She always attended sporting events, school award days and graduations and was proud of her family. Part of her heart always remained on the Prairies and she often visited family there. Lily was an integral part of the community, devoting countless volunteer hours to the local schools, the Chase Museum, Kamloops Home Support, Chase and District Health Society and the United Church, to name only a few. She worked as a writer for the Chase paper and as an assistant at the Chase Village Office. She also ran for and was elected to the Kamloops School District as a Trustee. She bowled and curled and was very lucky at Bingo and the casino. Lily travelled the world: from Alaska to the Hawaiian Islands, from Las Vegas to Ontario and the Maritimes; through a dozen countries in Europe; across Romania and into the Ukraine to visit the birth places of her parents; and to Tokyo and Taipei. Lily was whip smart and witty – she loved to play April Fool’s jokes; she was generous and tender hearted, thoughtful and loyal. Most of all she was strong, and her spirit will always shine. Lily will be dearly missed and lovingly remembered by children Marlene (Jim), Gail (Steve), Holly (Jim), Greg, Virginia (Karoly) and Melanie; grandchildren Kristine, Jason, Darin, Geoffrey, Shawn (Helen), Catherine, David (Hayley) and Michelle (Brooks) and great grandchildren Kasey, Gwen, Maya, William, Chloe and Ethan. We will celebrate her life on May 5, 2018, at 1 p.m. the Chase Village Hall. Online condolences may be sent to the family through Lily’s obituary at www. bowersfuneralservice.com.

Margaret Jean Wilkie In the early morning of April 11, 2018 our Mom Jean Wilkie, was peacefully released from her long and courageous battle with cancer, surrounded by the support and love of her children. Mom was born on September 4, 1934 in Kamloops to Albert and Mary Williams. She was raised in Barnhartvale, Chase and Kamloops. After serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force for three years, stationed in Montreal and Vancouver, she happily returned to Kamloops. In 1956, she married our Dad Bill Wilkie and they began their family. Over the coming years this grew to a family of seven kids and she was proud of us all. Mom’s life was devoted to her family; she was always happiest when she was with her children and grandchildren. To the very end, she was more concerned about our needs then her own. She especially enjoyed making sure everyone had enough to eat. No one ever refused her. She was proud of her home which was always immaculate and welcoming. Mom was the ultimate parent, successfully raising seven children with an ease that we could only marvel at as we become parents ourselves. As a resourceful young mother, she developed a talent for turning almost anything into something both beautiful and useful. She sewed and knitted incredible clothes, sweaters and blankets and developed ingenious storage solutions in our early small homes. She had a wonderful sense of humor, loved playing games with her kids and was quick to put on a pot of coffee to enjoy a visit with family and friends. She worried about us and encouraged, taught and loved us all everyday of her life. She faced life’s challenges with honesty, ingenuity and hard work and, by example, taught us to do the same. Mom leaves seven children to cherish her memory; Janet (Dan) Schneider, Sandra (Richard) Connelly, Cindie (Dave) Tommasini, Bill (Rosetta) Wilkie, Rhoda (Cole) Mayes, Darrell (Kendra) Wilkie and Heather Mitchell, as well as sixteen grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren, with a new arrival expected any day. Grandsons Jordan and Tyler held a special place in grandma’s heart. She is also survived by her sisters Betty (Cliff) Gronlund and

Teri (Bob) Young and brother Bert (Lorraine) Williams and numerous nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her infant daughter Sherry Lynn (1959), her parents Albert (1973) and Mary (1979), husband Bill (2000), sonin-law Tom Mitchell (2011) and sister Marj Dureen (2012). We appreciate the care, compassion and support both Mom and our family received during her illness from her health care team in both Kamloops and Kelowna, and most recently our nurses Blaine and Crystal and the wonderful staff at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice. You helped light our path.
Your needs in life were simple, Your love for us was true, As long as we were happy You were happy too. You gave us all you had to give, Gifts, both great and small, But most of all you gave us love, The greatest gift of all. Please join our family for a Celebration of Life on Saturday, April 28, 2018 in the Tea Room, Schoening Funeral Service, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops between 1:00 to 4:00 pm.

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim
Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

A FRINGE FESTIVAL TO CALL OUR OWN SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
new performing arts festival in Kamloops will give actors, magicians, musicians, dancers and even puppeteers a new place to stage their shows. The Hydra Performing Arts Festival will premiere in the River City on May 10 thanks to the organizing efforts of its creator Andrew Cooper. Cooper has made a lot of connections in the Kamloops theatre community over the years, graduating Thompson Rivers University’s theatre program and later founding Chimera Theatre in 2014. Since then, he’s managed to arrange 13 different acts to perform on the Actors Workshop Studio stage at TRU’s Black Box Theatre. The performances take place from May 10 to May 13 and May 17 to May 19, with each show performing three times. A schedule is available at chimeratheatre.com/hydrafestival. Tickets are $15, with discounted bundles on sale for three, six or 12 shows. The inaugural festival has attracted acts that range from serious to silly — others are just plain weird, but none can be

Navratil said the festival is one that caters to creators and audiences alike. “I think the fact that Andrew put on this festival and the amount of submissions he got, speaks to people that want to create something,” he said. “But there’s also people who are going to want to see something different — pushing different boundaries.”

THERE’S BEEN A MURDER HIGH SCHOOL THEATRE
Westsyde students will try to get to the bottom of it all in latest production DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
heatre students at Westsyde secondary were ready for something light. After recent productions of The Diary of Anne Frank and Medea, it was time for some fun, said teacher Stephen Sawka — so they’re throwing a wedding. There’s a twist, of course. It’s a murdermystery-comedy wedding reception, complete with cake, beverages and, most importantly, audience interaction. I’m Getting Murdered in the Morning is by Lee Mueller. It’s set after the wedding itself, with the guests — that would be all of you in the audience — gathered for the traditional garter toss. Suddenly, a mysterious man is shot dead, sparking bride Brenda’s dad, a wealthy man, to go into damage control. The person he brings in to control the damage — which is a challenge given there’s a dead body there — tries to spin it into a “nothing to see here, folks,” which leads to the local society columnist digging into the scandal. Secrets — and laughs — abound as the wedding party and onlookers learn more about the man, who appears to have links to both bride and groom sides of the wedding. Chloe Jordan said the play is lighter with more laughs than previous works she’s been in at Westsyde. It’s set as a theatre-in-theround, with action not restricted to the stage itself, and that’s been a good challenge, she said. Molly Egli is Brenda the bride, a character that is on stage for the opening to the conclusion. That includes the intermission, she said, when she and others will join the audience to chat, just as if it was a real reception, given the cast a chance to practice their improvisation skills, as well. Jessica Evdokimoff said it’s great to have fun with a play. Last year’s production of Medea, a play based on an ancient Greek tragedy that tells the story of an angry woman seeking revenge, was emotionally draining, she said, and left her exhausted at the end of each performance.
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Westsyde secondary students rehearse a scene from the upcoming play. Clockwise from bottom left: Jade Blair, James Tasker, Grace Clemont, Molly Egli, Rachel LaFrace, Thomas Dunsdon, Braeden Bartlett, Chloe Jordan, Jessica Evdokimoff, Mary Funk, Migizi Cress and Caleb Castagna (centre).
There’s so much fun in this one, Jessica said, that getting through rehearsals at first was a challenge because everyone was laughing so much — particularly when the man dies because the student playing the character “commits so much to it.”

WWW.CHIMERATHEATRE.COM
Sawka said the comedy has been “in my in-box for a while now and this was the right time creatively for me to do it.” He hoped to see a full theatre at each of the four evenings the show will be presented — until April 28 at 7:30 p.m. in the Rachel
Ball Theatre at the school — because the money raised goes to help support arts education at the school. Tickets are $12 or $80 for a table of eight. They can be ordered by calling 250-5799271 or bought at the door.

And the winners are... K
amloops This Week, the Kamloops Society for the Written Arts and the Council of Canadians teamed up to present a poetry contest with the theme of nature and the more-than-human-world. The contest was meant to celebrate April, which is National Poetry Month and Earth Month. Organizers received 36 poems and selected the six on this page as winners. All entrants are invited to read their poem at a May 9 open mic event at The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St. downtown. Judge Susan Buis had this observation upon reading the poems and choosing the winning entries” “As I write this, it is Earth Day (April 20) and social media messaging feeds are running thick with wistful images and news: no right whale calves born last sea-
son; in B.C., the future of wild salmon is bleak. “Nature and the more-than-human world is the admirable theme of the poetry contest organized by the Kamloops Society for the Written Arts, the Council of Canadians and Kamloops This Week. “It was my pleasure to read the entries and select six for publication. A crucial component of a successful poem is the quality of ‘voice,’ the sound of the poem, as if the writer is speaking to the reader, lending a quality of authenticity to the experience. “These poems show a variety of voices: humour, love, melancholy and awe. These are some of the emotions through which we view human fallibility and the mysteries of the world that we struggle to understand and articulate.”
Where Will I Seek April?
King Edward VII Sanatorium
by Nancy Wahn
by Nina Mercuri
I Love Nature by Sarah Mostaghel
Dawnwatcher by Valerie Rampone
I remember that first dawn when the light spilled over onto the tides of time. You doubt my watching? Listen — it’s in the raw crack of my voice created long before there were mountains to catch it. Look — it’s in my odd ponderous flight, a family trait a pterodactyl told me, once. I wait For the tide The first light The wave of another day I watch ... and I wait ... And at last A shimmering wave rides the tide The rippling dawn of this day.
Amaryliss Magic In the intricate tableau of forms Multidimensionally linked, and fluid, Accessible to perception in lucid moments … In such a metaphorical garden Where will I seek April? In the chill gusts, pinking the cheeks, trembling the trees … In the glowering, undulating clouds poised for a secret signal to open up, To release their minuscule watery bombs … In the barely perceptible sigh emanating from the grateful grasses Receiving their purification. In the glimmery roadway rivulets, carrying along their tiny cargoes Wrapper, stick, filter tip … Clogged at the street corners with luscious heavy sludge, pliable; You could mold it, sculpt it … Or is it already a sculpture? April is a collage, A multidimensional sculpture. This is April.
The moon is a clock, And its face hangs naked of hands and numbers. Moments ticking by the whispering of paper leaves, Filed on the limbs of pale-barked birches. Hours, like patients, lay housed in hollow trunks, Drawing rural air into lungs, with sagebrush capillaries. Days and years are admitted on to the sunken shore, Smoothing pebbles into sterile hallways and silent stairwells. Wan-feathered birds, stark against the night, Descend from the skies like whitecoats, To time the breaths born between red-clotted coughs, Hidden inside laundered handkerchiefs. Beyond, the hospital cuts a dark figure, Consuming lake and tree and brush in its shadow. Warping the once-hard line of time, Until then and now mean nothing.

What secrets hide beneath the skin of this massive pregnant bulb? Will warmth and soil and water, release its hidden plan? Following instructions the planting soon is done. Then patiently we wait, ‘till the first green shoots appear. The amazing growth astounds us, We measure and we gasp, Three centimetres taller, in the space of only a day! The energy inside there must be anxious to move on. Hour by hour it stretches, reaching for the sky, The flower buds are forming, to crown the weeks of work, What colours are being created in those ever fattening buds? A miracle is happening, before our awestruck eyes. One cold and wintry morning, we leave our warm cocoons, To be greeted with a wondrous sight, THE AMARYLLIS BLOOMS!
Well except for the bugs and I’m afraid of rattlesnakes, especially for my dog. She will stick her nose anywhere, including a wasp nest last summer, which didn’t end well for her. A big red bump between two sad puppy dog eyes. I love snow because it’s so beautiful, except for when there is too much and you need to drive somewhere but your car is stuck. And also when it gets warmer and slushy and your “waterproof” shoes are soaked through to your socks. I love the beach because it’s so relaxing, except for when the wildfires make the air thick with smoke and you can’t stand to be outside for very long, the heat engulfing the city like a wool blanket. I love camping because it’s so peaceful, except for when it rains and your clothes are permanently soggy and you didn’t pack enough food. But at least your dog cuddles up to keep both of you warm. I love nature and its beauty is undeniable. But my favourite thing about nature is that all the best plans can easily be ruined by rain or snow or storm and you’re never in control so it forces you to go with the flow.

Bad to the bone, but still good on the road George Thorogood first toured Canada 40 years ago and he’s back again May 9 at Sandman Centre SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
If it’s the hits they want, it’s the hits they will get. That’s the philosophy of George Thorogood, who has been touring in Canada for more than 40 years now along with his band The Destroyers. Thorogood’s is a career that would be the envy of many musicians, with hits like Bad to the Bone, I Drink Alone, Who do you Love? and several others. With more than 8,000 live shows under his belt, you might think he’s tired of playing the hits over and over again — but you’d be wrong. “That’s what I set out to do to begin with,” he told KTW. “Do you want to go
Musicians to raise funds for Waffle House shooting victims KRISTIN M. HALL
ASSOCIATED PRESS
Nashville’s music community is raising money to benefit the victims of a shooting at a Tennessee Waffle House with a special T-shirt honouring the man who stopped the gunman. James Shaw Jr., lauded as a hero during the shooting that left four dead and more injured Sunday, met with singer Brantley Gilbert and indie rocker Chris Carrabba of Dashboard Confessional in Nashville Wednesday. At their upcoming concerts, the musicians will sell a shirt with the words “I Believe In Heroism,” along with an image of Shaw’s injured hand that was burned when he grabbed the gun away from suspect Travis Reinking.

The American musician, 68, said some songs are just physically harder to play than others. “After I play One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer, I need about three days off and a bowl of Wheaties,” he said, laughing.

on Wednesday, May 9. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and tickets range from $50 to $60 (plus fees) and are available through Ticketmaster. After decades of touring and 16 studio albums spanning a 42-year career, the question might be: What keeps him on the road? Thorogood was pragmatic in how he answered. “What inspires me is that there’s still a demand for us. That blows me away on a daily basis,” he said. “That’s really what dictates the whole thing. You’re not still here because you want to do it, you’re here because you’ve succeeded, because you’re popular and people like it and still want to see you. That, to me, is the bottom line. When the phone stops ringing, then it’s over.”

TORONTO — Ann Dowd warns actors should never be too judgmental about the characters they play. That’s her approach to Aunt Lydia, the uncompromising warden who oversees Offred (played by Elisabeth Moss), Ofglen (Alexis Bledel) and all the fertile sex slaves in The Handmaid’s Tale. The second season of the dystopian drama premiers Sunday on Bravo. There’s no question Aunt Lydia can be brutally harsh. Get on her wrong side and you can lose an eye. She is a true believer, however, in the new world order known in the series as Gilead and is always ready to step in and protect the women forced to produce babies under her charge. The 62-year-old actress, who won an Emmy last season for her role, says judging characters is a mistake, “because then they won’t reveal themselves to you.’’ She feels Aunt Lydia genuinely “cares deeply for these girls, and thinks the world before Gilead was a disgrace.’’ The Handmaid’s Tale is based on the 1985 bestseller by Margaret Atwood. Dowd confirms the second season takes up where the book left off. One of the storylines left dangling from the first season will be the fate of Offred’s unborn child. “It’s just extraordinary, what goes on this season,’’ Dowd said. “Unbelievable.’’ Atwood had a memorable cameo early in the series, slapping Offred hard across the back of her head. Dowd’s assessment of Atwood’s acting skills?
“Hey, you’re born for this, girl!’’ The appreciation was mutual: “She was very gracious and lovely and gave me some confidence there to continue,’’ Dowd said. After a long and impressive stage and movie career, including roles in Philadelphia (1993) and Compliance (2012), Dowd finds herself among TV’s acting elite. Along with raves from the critics, she picked up a second Best Acting Emmy nomination last season for her role as one of the leaders of the Guilty Remnant on the HBO drama The Leftovers. Gone after three seasons, it’s a show and an experience Dowd will dearly miss. “He’s a genius, I’m telling you,’’ Dowd said of showrunner Damon Lindelof (Lost), adding that the series main star, Justin Theroux, “will be my dear friend for life.’’ “I think what Leftovers did for people,’’ adds Dowd, is to help viewers come to grips with grief and loss, “because we can’t escape it, and there’s no point in trying. What we learn to do is accept it, and sit with it, and realize, it is not going to kill us.’’ Dowd is just as positive about places as she is about people. She said she’s enjoyed visiting the small, southern Ontario towns outside Toronto and Hamilton while on location for The Handmaid’s Tale — even if this usually meant a 5:30 a.m. hotel pick-up and a long drive to the set. She had the same impression of Halifax a couple of years ago working on the Stephen King TV-movie Big Driver for U.S. cable. “I thought Nova Scotia was exquisite, you know, the countryside, just so beautiful.’’ Bill Brioux is a freelance TV columnist based in Brampton, Ont.

Doc examines gender barriers for top female chefs VICTORIA AHEARN
CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — In making a documentary about top female chefs, Toronto filmmaker Maya Gallus noticed an ironic theme emerge. “Women were fighting for years to get out of the kitchen and now women are fighting to get their rightful place back in the kitchen,” she said in an interview. The Heat: A Kitchen (R)evolution, which opened the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival on Thursday, details the gender barriers women have faced in climbing the ranks of the professional culinary world. Interviewees include chef AnneSophie Pic, the only woman in France to have three Michelin stars for culinary excellence. Other chefs in the doc include Victoria Blamey and Anita Lo of New York, Charlotte Langley of Toronto, and Angela Hartnett of London. They talk about gender dispar-
ity in the culinary world, noting the media doesn't celebrate female chefs the way they do men. They also say female chefs don't get the same financial backing that men do. Some also speak to the sexual harassment and assault women chefs face and a “fratboy culture” that exists in kitchens. “I think the timing of the film is really crucial right now and that women are willing to speak out in ways that even a few years ago they might have been less inclined to do so,'' said Gallus, who co-founded Red Queen Productions and won a Gemini Award for directing the 2007 doc Girl Inside. “Certainly we're hearing a lot of stories about abuse and harassment in many industries and, of course, the culinary industry is not immune from that.” Gallus shot The Heat over a year and considers it a companion piece of sorts to her 2010 film, Dish-Women, Waitressing & the Art of Service.
A former waitress herself, Gallus has long been fascinated by women working in the kitchen but had to do “some coaxing, in some cases” in order to get them to talk. “I find that many women who are successful in a male-dominated profession frequently put their heads down and focus on the work and don't really want to focus on all of the obstacles and any negativity that may be around them,” she said. “And that, truthfully, is a survival tactic.” Gallus concluded women have been shut out of reaching top status in professional kitchens largely due to money. “When a profession becomes a highly respected profession and when there's money to be made, it tends to be dominated by men at the top, and for obvious reasons, historically,” she said. “So, even though domestically women are associated with cooking and food and nurturing, as soon as it became celebrated

being accused. Gallus feels it's all leading to a shift in kitchen culture. “It's not there yet. As with many industries, including the film industry, women have trouble getting financing for the big restaurants. Women tend to run the smaller restaurants, the local mom and pop or the so-called ‘ethnic’ restaurant. In terms of fine dining, there are very few women who really can reach that pinnacle.”

as a profession, it became not only male-dominated, it became macho. “And it took on a whole other bad-boy aspect to it, which is now being critiqued and questioned and a new generation of people coming up in the restaurant world are saying, ‘This is not OK.’” Indeed, sexism and sexual harassment in the culinary world have been making headlines lately, with some high-profile male chefs

SPELUNKING IN SOUTHEASTERN FRANCE:
Discovering Cro-Magnon artwork and many underground wonders CHRIS MILLIKAN travelwriterstales.com
T
he 300-kilometre bike ride in the Dordogne and Lot River valleys offers us many memorable escapades, including two unique cave explorations. First, Grotte du Pech Merle makes the perfect side trip from medieval Saint-Cirq Lapopie. Our 10-kilometre route twists along lofty cliffs, sweeps into riverside villages and up, up, up the steepest of hills to one of France’s largest cave art sites, open to the public since 1926. After confirming our reservations at Amedee Lemozi Museum, a captivating film in its theatre shows us how teenagers discovered and explored this cave in 1922. And soon, joining others, our cave tour in English begins. “Before we step into a breathtaking world, a brief orientation,” says guide Audrey. We learn that over millions of years, rainwater reacting with limestone flowed through crevasses, relentlessly dissolving the rock. This carbonic acid hollowed out countless caves, depositing calcium carbonate in wondrous ways. “Now, following a 1.5-kilometre subterranean route, we’ll visit seven remarkable chambers,” she says. Steep stone stairs take us down into a dimly lit gallery where otherworldly formations create a sparkling wonderland. Closer looks reveal creamy white and surprising pink crystals aglitter on delicate stalagmites and stalactites. The next airy chamber reveals intact murals 16,000 to 25,000 years old. Painted lifelike drawings of woolly mammoths, bison, horses and auroch adorn one wall in Chapel of the Mammoths. “These 25 overlapping figures suggest several artists may have drawn them, possibly during differ-
CHRIS MILLIKAN PHOTOS Cro-Magnon artists painted in dozens of damp, out of the way caverns like these. Touring the caves in southeastern France, takes you way back in time. Prehistoric auroch drawings (left) at Peche Merle Caves have been open to the public since 1926. Mineral formations in Cougnac Caves (top right) are unusual in their shape. Cougnac Caves (bottom right) near Gourdon, France, offers a view of centuries-old stone artifacts and the Hall of Prehistoric Paintings.
ent eras,” observes Audrey. “And the 12-degree temperatures here at 40 metres underground help preserve them.” Cro-Magnon artists painted in dozens of damp, out of the way caverns like these. But they lived in shallow riverside caves way below, much better for hunting and gathering. In their settlements, paleontologists discovered stone axes, flint arrowheads, bone needles, musical instruments and even lamps, yet paintbrushes have never been found. “Using their fingers and paints made from charcoal mixed with animal fat, they most often depicted what they hunted. They also painted geometric designs and a
few humans, but drew none of the plants they gathered,” Audrey says. The purpose remains a mystery. Perhaps they chronicled species disappearances. Or maybe, there’s a spiritual significance. In the Ceiling of Hieroglyphics gallery, mammoths, ibex and female shapes appear above us. In Salle de Disques, small human footprints amaze us. Petrified clay preserved the actual footsteps of distant ancestors. Contemplating a realistic cave bear head, our guide says, “Such figures were etched into walls using flint blades.” She also highlights a magnificent reindeer stag sketched in charcoal, which allows carbon dating. Naturally occurring creases and bulges in rock surfaces are
incorporated into both works. Moving on, tiny luminescent spheres in a pool surprise us. We’re told, swirling waters formed the perfect cave pearls. Nearby, a lovely wall mural illustrates bison, mammoths and women. As if protecting one another, they seem to ‘float’ together in concentric circles. In a final gallery, an exquisite 29,000-year-old panel portrays two black-spotted horses surrounded by dots and stenciled ochre handprints, a most celebrated piece. We visualize someone holding a smoking torch as a companion delicately spits ground pigment around hands held flat against the wall. Days later near Gourdon,
Grottes de Cougnac prompts another bout of caving. Requiring no reservations, we show up in time for the day’s first tour. Amid a shady oak forest, guide Clara unlocks a small door and leads us into a spacious cellar displaying centuries-old stone artifacts. “For years, a farm family stored wines here,” she says. “Then, in 1952 they located two more grand galleries, 200 metres apart.” Descending a darkened stairway, we proceed along eons-old mudflows and into the Hall of Prehistoric Paintings. “Sixty animal images, 50 handprints and three human shapes were found in here,” she says. “At 30,000 years old, they’re among the oldest figurative drawings in France still open to the public.” As we pass, mammoths, goats, giant reindeer and ibex ‘come to life’ beneath her dancing penlight. Of the ‘wounded men’ figures, three spears pierce one; seven penetrate another. Like other prehistoric art — handprints ‘sign’ the works. We return along the ridge to the second cavern. Inside the Pillar Chamber, sublime stalagmites and stalactites surround an ancient stream bed, long since dry. Like crystalline icicles, masses of needle-like soda straws drip from the ceiling. Some growing together into breathtaking columns. Others, merging into wafer-thin fans, their translucent beauty emphasized by subtle lighting. Embellished by both man and nature, these limestone caverns prove awe-inspiring. The original Cro-Magnon artwork provides insight into the creative spirit of our prehistoric ancestors.

FAITH
NO FUNERAL SERVICE BY SPECIAL REQUEST
I
’m getting to the age where I’ve started reading obituaries. No, I’m not old enough that I’m checking to see whether my name is included in them. And I’m not old enough to be looking for my friends. But I am old enough to be thinking about my own legacy — and I’ve started peering into the lives of others as their own families remember them. Something more and more common in these obituaries is a notice that there will be no public commemoration of the deceased person’s life: “No funeral service by request.” As someone whose job involves dealing with end-oflife matters (I consider myself a bit of a death specialist), I find this trend intriguing. It could be a sign of our increasingly secular age. The individual who died may have had no formal religious affiliation and consequently no expectation of any rite or ceremony to mark their final departure. The trend could also be a sign of our increasingly individualistic culture. In a time when the greatest sin is a dependence on others, requiring people to accompany you through your dying and then asking them to commemorate your life, may sound a bit selfish. The desire to have no service may also be the result of attending poor memorials. Doing nothing at all may seem better than having an inauthentic gathering where people tell lies about the deceased or where the officiant’s dull commentary puts people to sleep. Reverend Lovejoy of The Simpsons fame provokes many real-life comparisons. Finally, and more sinister, a decision to have no service may express a subconscious desire to deny death has taken place. When is the last time you’ve witnessed an open casket? Even when we have memorials, we do and say things to mask the reality of death. There you have it. A number of possible reasons why people are choosing not to have funeral. But let me suggest a few reasons why you might consider a funeral or a memorial in your own end-oflife plans: • Your life matters: You may
STEVE FILEK

FAITH
feel insignificant compared to people around you. You may not feel important enough to bother your loved ones with this obligation. The obituaries I read in the Globe and Mail are often of leaders in business or industry with various initials following their names (C.M. Ph.D.). They are described as dynamic individuals who influenced a wide array of people. By contrast, most of our lives have less impact on much smaller circles. Yet I would wager that each of us has impacted dozens of people and that each of us will be missed by someone. I’ve officiated at numerous memorials where caregivers have showed up to mark the death of a person for whom they have cared. Yes, the caregivers! They showed up, off the clock, to remember someone they helped dress and feed. Could it be that those final years where you believe yourself to be a burden, your life can still be meaningful to those you employ, let alone your family or friends? • Your loved ones need a formal goodbye: The best things in life are marked by ritual. In my family, we don’t let anyone’s birthday pass without cards and gifts and candles and cake. So why wouldn’t we take time to mark the fact that a person has died? These times don’t need to be sombre or depressing or make anyone feel bad. Memorials can be celebrations where happy memories are shared, where honesty is expressed, where a person is remembered for their unique contribution. Sharing memories and expressing gratitude in a public setting help us come to terms with our loss. Now, I realize people often do this in smaller private set-
tings. I was with a family who shared memories and said prayers at their father’s bedside. He was a pilot. His sons were all in aviation. Together we sang I’ll fly Away. One son later confided that in his mind, this was the memorial — the gathering was a sufficient and meaningful goodbye for him. But the nuclear family was not the sum total of this man’s loved ones. There were lots of other people outside the family who needed the subsequent public memorial to share their gratitude and their grief. • We all need moments for reflection: Modern life tends to be busy or at least full of distractions. Who thinks of their own mortality when a new blockbuster has just been released on Netflix? Memorials remind us that our time on Earth is limited and they encourage us to ensure it is meaningful. At a more recent memorial where I officiated, the grandkids spoke about memories of camping with their grandfather. Their loving memories made me think about my daughters and our family plans for this coming summer. Memorials help us reflect on life. At the same time, they invite us to ponder the possibilities that lay beyond this mortal existence. In my mind, this latter gift helps us experience an even fuller life in the present. So, there you have it, a few reasons to end your life on Earth with a funeral or memorial; a few reasons to invite your loved ones to do the same. No, this isn’t a pitch for more business (for the church or anyone else). It is simply an invitation, at a time of death, to start a new life-giving trend. Rev.
