Dhaliwal may run for mayor JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
After seven months on council, Ray Dhaliwal wants a shot at the mayor’s chair. One of Kamloops’ newest city councillors said he plans to run for mayor this fall in the municipal election, provided his busiRAY DHALIWAL nesses are self-sustaining. He will make a decision by the end of August. “It is a big job to be the mayor in town, but I’m open to the challenge,” Dhaliwal said. “I’ve never been afraid of a challenge and I jump in with both feet. I’ve done very well that way.” See DHALIWAL, A6
Flood fears prompt sandbag action MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER

Clay Chalmers always wanted a house next to a babbling brook for his family, but he is instead dealing with a raging river. “Our nice, babbling creek has become something a little more torrent,” Chalmers told KTW on Monday. High flows from Cherry Creek west of Kamloops has turned the typically small, peaceful creek into a gushing, brown river through the unincorporated area, leading to the closure of Beaton Road. The creek could be seen rushing over Beaton Road on Monday afternoon, with signs closing it in both directions. A few vehicles behind the water line could be seen turning back. The creek usu-

ally runs underneath Beaton Road through a culvert, but the amount of water coming down the river has filled it up and flooded over the road, which was washed out in the same spot during serious flooding last year. One middle-aged resident, who did not
wish to give her name, said the creek appears to be 20 times the size of normal. “It’s like a babbling brook. This is a river,” said the woman, who lives up Beaton Road and has called Cherry Creek home for more than 40 years. Residents told KTW
the Thompson-Nicola Regional District dropped off sand and sand bags this past weekend, noting the community as a whole has rallied to help each other safeguard their property along the river. Chalmers estimated nearly 2,000 sandbags

The people behind the concept and many letters supporting and opposing the fledgling idea
were placed around the area over the weekend. Usually, the creek is just a trickle through Chalmers’ property, but he has noticed it gradually rising during the past couple of weeks, surging an estimated two feet in the past two days.
The creek has forged new channels through his property that weren’t there on Saturday morning and his weekend was spent using machinery to try to shore up neighbouring property along the creek with rip rap and sandbags. “It’s spring. You want to do cleanup, but this takes precedence,” he said. Chalmers had some new rip rap dropped off at his home and is concerned of a potential surge of water flooding more of his property if there is a blockage over by Beaton Road. But Chalmers is taking the flooding in stride, as the water isn’t affecting his home and rip rap laid down last year is keeping it away from a pump house on their property. See EMERGENCY, A6

DID YOU KNOW? Cherry Creek was initially named Riviere de Cereise by French-speaking fur traders who were remarking on the amount of choke cherries in the area. — Kamloops Museum and Archives
Market far from becoming reality JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A public market proposal for downtown Kamloops is so preliminary it doesn’t have a budget. It doesn’t have money nor a thumbs-up from city council. All details remain on the table and plans can — and will — change, according one of four people behind the idea. “This is the starting point,” Greg Lindros said. “This is square one.” KTW met the landscape architect to discuss the proposal in front of Heritage House in Riverside Park, where the group — dubbed the Kamloops Public Market Co-Operative — envisions a 35,000-square foot facility built on one half of the existing parking lot (the half closer to the bandshell). Concept drawings provided to KTW show 15 permanent tenants and 20 day stalls, including a butcher, florist, baker and space to sell art. “There won’t be any chain outlets here,” Lindros said. “This is all local. Local, local.” Vendors would be situated around a central space for community events and a community kitchen could host cooking classes. Lindros envisions the facility acting as a community hub in downtown Kamloops, with the farmers’ market next door, a restaurant overlooking Riverside Park and two layers of underground parking providing additional stalls. (Lindros estimates an extra 200 spots on top of the ones taken away.) He would also like to see the proposed outdoor skating rink be built in Riverside Park to draw even more people to the area. “What we don’t have is a town square in our city,” Lindros said. “That’s what we envision the public market as being — our town square, a year-round town square.” The public market proposal was made public last week during a city council meeting. A downtown resident caught wind of the idea and expressed concern about the city commercializing Riverside Park. City staff have been working with the group 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. Lindros said the group has been playing catch-up after the proposal was unexpectedly made public before it was ready. Kamloops Coun. Dieter Dudy — who is one of the three other people behind the idea — was caught off-guard around the horseshoe when the project came to light last week.The idea was

thought up on his porch in August, Lindros said. Dudy would not talk much about the project, deferring details to Lindros, but said he removed himself when the proposal came before council for information during an in-camera meeting. “As a private citizen, I’m in full support of this project and I have been involved with it for quite a number of years,” Dudy told KTW. “I really want to see this move forward as quickly as possible, also being mindful of the fact as an elected official, I have to step away and remove myself from the process.” The other two people spearheading the proposal are Daphane Nelson and Rick Duggan, a retired contractor. Lindros said the group knew the location could be tricky due to a controversial parkade in the same area, which was nixed in 2011 due to public opposition. The quartet also looked at Stuart Wood as a possible location, but a covenant on the property requires the city use the space for educational purposes or it falls into the hands of the province. The group did not look to North Kamloops. “Our question was, ‘Where is the civic gathering place in the city?” Lindros said. “It’s here. If it was over on the other side of the river, we’d be there right now. Riverside Park is Riverside Park.” Next steps include consulting with stakeholders and looking for private funding.
[video online] Preliminary ideas for a public market in Kamloops are based on the Pybus Public Market in the Wenatchee Valley in Washington. The market was built in 2013 and video of it can be found online at http://www.pybuspublicmarket.org/. Lindros expects the city to chip in a decent chunk of change and lease out the space. The project is still at least two to three years away and faces several hurdles before it can become a reality. The public can weigh in on the idea, however, by emailing kamloopspublicmarket@gmail. com. “We’ll take what we hear from everybody and we’ll come back and then we’ll start shaping this thing so that it’s in sync with what people are wanting to see,” Lindros said. “We’re not announcing that this project is happening. “We’re just saying there’s a process underway to see if this thing is real. “Maybe in six months, we’ll see. The last thing we want to be doing is selling this to anybody. If the community isn’t ready for this, well, then, we just fold up our plans and wait another 30 years.”

Steelhead petition reaches Ottawa SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A petition to have steelhead trout designated as endangered under the Species at Risk Act has been presented in the House of Commons — leaving government 45 calendar days to provide a response. The petition was filed by B.C. Federation of Fly Fishers secretary Greg Gordon following a report by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada that showed Thompson River and Chilcotin steelhead returning in dire numbers.
Fewer than 200 Thompson steelhead and 50 Chilcotin steelhead returned — the lowest levels since record-keeping began. Concern over the fish has been growing. In March, the Tsilhqot’in First Nation announced a full closure of the steelhead fisheries “due to immediate threat.” More recently, the BC Wildlife Federation requested an “examination of Canada’s failure to protect endangered pacific salmon and anadromous trout species under the Species at Risk Act.” In an April 27 letter to the commissioner of the environment and sustain-
able development and auditor general of Canada, representatives of the BCWF said there was a “systemic refusal” by the federal government to protect the fish. Fisheries and Oceans Canada proposed earlier to implement a “rolling window closure” for the times and areas where steelhead will be present in fishing channels. For the Thompson River, that would mean that downstream of the confluence, no fishing would be permitted from Oct. 12 to Oct. 31, with the steelhead closure overlapping with the existing coho salmon closure.

CARROTS AND STICKS ARE NEEDED
F
ood and shelter are the most basic human needs. Affordable housing is a hot topic right now in many communities. It’s not new. It’s a problem communities have always had to deal with, to a greater or lesser degree. Lack of suitable housing is a problem that will likely always be with us. What exactly we define as shelter varies. It might be a tent pitched in the woods or a multi-million dollar mansion. The key, though, is suitable housing. Living in the woods might be a lifestyle choice for a very few, but everyone should have access to shelter that provides more of the other necessities of life, like protection of the elements. The availability of suitable housing drifts over time. Developers are business people and there is little profit in building housing to accommodate the poorest members of our society. Building units with highend prices is usually accompanied by high-end profits. As developers drift toward building fewer higher-profit units, the market becomes concentrated at that end of the spectrum, lowering the availability of middle-income units, which means fewer units aging into lower-income levels. This is where governments need to step in and use both carrot and stick — incentives and penalties — to encourage construction of more affordable living units. The speculation tax is one of those penalties, not directed at developers per se, but at the people who would buy homes and leave them empty, removing those housing units from the market. The stick needs to be accompanied by a carrot, though, perhaps by offering those same homeowners an equivalent incentive to rent those homes out while they are gambling on home prices rising. Similar concepts need to be applied to encourage developers to again start building more affordable homes. Governments of all levels need to focus on people’s most basic needs first.

An update from Grandma
G
randma called again this week. I know her name, but we agreed long ago she would just be grandma because her story is one she shares with countless other caregivers for people with disabilities. I met grandma in 2010 and she was furious because her then-11year-old grandson, for whom she provided care, had to be admitted to the psychiatric ward at Royal Inland Hospital to have his medications balanced. He has multiple disorders — autism, Tourette’s syndrome, ADHD, OCD and ODD, among others — and, while there, an adult patient in the same ward approached him in an inappropriate way. Eventually, RIH created a pediatric psychiatric ward. It’s eight years later and her grandson has “aged out,” two words many of us have learned to hate. Before he became what the law considers to be an adult — believe me, this boy is an adult in age and body size only — grandma was promised there would be services for him when he turned 17. That birthday came and, suddenly, despite all the diagnoses and reports from psychiatrists and doctors who had worked with this kid from an early age, the provincial government said he didn’t qualify for help. In the ensuing “adult” years, grandma — and grandpa, too — tried to teach him how to live, but he’s not capable. Grandma called me again last fall. He was broke. He had spent money buying “friends” gifts, but couldn’t
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL remember to buy himself food. His psychiatrist had retired and the grandson was on a waitlist for that much-needed medical care. His medication for Tourettes apparently changed and was no longer being covered by MSP. He had taken to self-harm — isn’t that a horrible phrase? — because he was overwhelmed by the world and could not process how to exist in it. Grandma and grandpa are just that, seniors with their own failing health conditions, but they were continuing to try to fill that essential role in his life. He’s literally a confused boy in a grown-up body and had been abandoned by the system. Grandma wrote a letter spelling everything out and sent it to the provincial ministers of health, mental health and addictions and children and family development. She also sent it to the local MLAs and to me. It’s a heartbreaking letter, one I’m betting many of you have also written as you cope with a bureaucracy that is immune to the realities many families
deal with every day. MLA Peter Milobar, who represents Kamloops North Thompson, reached out to grandma within a couple of days and they talked about how the government was failing him. This week, grandma called again with news. Her grandson, who was to have been evicted from his apartment, will be staying, thanks to Community Living B.C. getting involved. He has someone assigned to work with him — although it will be interesting to see how much support that means, given how overworked every social worker is these days. He’s 20 now, however, and grandma and grandpa have lived with the gaps in our social safety net for three years. Who knows what might have happened if they had not sent that letter? There’s a fundamental flaw somewhere, one that doesn’t care which party is in government. There’s something wrong and it needs to be identified and fixed. Grandma ended her letter with some words another caller voiced in her own way when she called recently about another socialassistance issue. That caller noted Canada is a rich country that can’t seem to find the money to provide the kind of care needed by many people. In her letter, Grandma turned to another wise truth-speaker to send the same message to the politician She quoted Mahatma Ghandi, who once said “a nation’s greatness is measured by how it treats its weakest members.” I wonder what he would say about us.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
PUBLIC MARKET IDEA SPURS INTENSE DEBATE News that a private group has floated the idea of installing a public market and lower-level parkade in the Lorne Street parking lot adjacent to Riverside Park has elicited many letters to the editor from Kamloops residents. A sampling is presented here. The topic is also our Question of the Week online at kamloops thisweek.com. Editor: I do not support a public market at Riverside park. It’s a great idea, but not at that location. There is enough congestion there now. Dorothy McDougall Editor: I support the idea of a permanent covered public market building, but not in Riverside Park! Why not the former Kamloops Daily News property, which is now a parking lot? I think that is a better place for a public market and some arrangements will have to be made for parking. A permanent, yearround building for a
public market is long overdue. It is a terrific idea. Faye Franson Editor: I fully support the concept of a public market on the parkside parking lot. The current farmers’ market needs a new home and this location would be a much better venue than Stuart Wood. It would add a fantastic new vibrancy to Riverside Park and a new reason to go downtown and to support local businesses. This in no way affects the park and, in fact, gives people more reason to use it. I would encourage those working on the project to hold some open houses to add for improvement. Graham Strachan Editor: No. Why do they think they can use prime land for a few of them to benefit? A great place for a public market would be the old Safeway/ Value Village building at Seymour Street and Fifth Avenue.
Everything is there — outdoor and indoor. Mike Morgan
tury and attract people to the city. Kellie Auld
Editor: Absolutely no. The park should remain a peaceful spot where people can relax and enjoy the scenery. There is no other spot in Kamloops as pretty and as welcoming. We do not need another building. Put that ugly empty building at Seymour and Fifth to some use. John Maccagno
Editor: Read our lips — no, no, no. No building on parkland. Not now. Not ever. City employees and city council work for the citizens of Kamloops. What don’t they understand about a two-letter word like “no”? We told them before and we are telling them again — when you build on parkland, you never get it back. Dino and Jean Sordi
Editor: I agree with editor Christopher Foulds on this (‘Let’s get excited about public market idea,’ April 26). I very much like the idea of a public market because it is, as he wrote, a parking lot now. I think it’s a great idea and exciting if it actually goes ahead. And, truly, what an ideal spot for it. I cannot fully comprehend why anyone would be opposed to it, but I am sure there will still be naysayers. Some people seem to oppose everything and Kamloops really has to move into the next cen-
Editor: Riverside Park is a wonderful area and I would not want to see it jeopardized in any way. I also love spending time at public marketplaces. They are such a great outlet for small and interesting businesses to present their wares. This city needs both. A market may even lead to more appreciation of Riverside Park. Opponent Ruth Madsen could benefit from a broader view. I’m with editor Christopher Foulds on this one. Martha Dawson
Editor: I absolutely do not support a two-storey building in the parking lot at Riverside Park. Parking is hard enough to come by downtown. Stop messing with our fantastic riverside. Elaine Strother Editor: Being communityspirited, we would like to heartily endorse this proposal. It is a win-win situation for the community and the farmers’ market. Using the parking lot with underground parking and a space for events and entertainment is a winner. We have seen markets held in other cities’ parks — including in Osoyoos, Port Moody, San Diego and Kelowna, just to name a few— and they are successful. We think this proposal is a positive step up.

First Nation opposes Pipsell pipeline route SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
National Energy Board hearings are underway in Kamloops for those who may be adversely affected by Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project passing through the city and surrounding areas north and south. Those stating their
opposition are landowners who live along the proposed route, which travels the complete north-south stretch of the city’s boundaries. Among those at the hearings is the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc of the Secwepemc Nation (SSN), which will state its opposition at a hearing on Thursday. The SSN is com-
posed of band chiefs and councils from both the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn First Nations. The SSN says 80 kilometres of the proposed pipeline route and two pipeline facilities (Black Pines station and Kamloops terminal) would be located within its territory — that includes 11 kilometres of the route that would pass through

to self-govern its territory. At the very least, SSN’s concerns must not be ignored and must be addressed as persons whose lands will be adversely affected,” the letter reads. Concerns raised by the SSN also include environmental reasons, calling Pípsell a sensitive grasslands area and old-growth forest home to many wildlife species-at-risk. The SSN also cited Pipsell in its opposition to the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine, the application for which was rejected by the provincial government in December. Kinder Morgan said it has made deals with 33 Aboriginal groups in the province worth “in excess of $400 million.” As reported by KTW, one of those agreements is with the Tk’emlups band, which in 2016 accepted a $3-million deal with the Texas-based pipeline company.
No such deal is apparent with the Skeetchestn band of the SSN. In a June 2017 Aboriginal consultation report filed by Kinder Morgan as part of the environmental-assessment phase of the project, the company said it explored the potential of an agreement with the band and “engagement is ongoing.” Black Pines residents Jose and Brooklin Demelo were also scheduled to appear before the board on Wednesday night, but withdrew late last week, saying they “fail to see the point in pursuing the hearing.” “With Trans Mountain wavering in its own commitment to TMEP [Trans Mountain expansion project] — which puts in doubt the project’s future — it is unreasonable for Trans Mountain to hold affected landowners to a higher standard of commitment in
their opposition to the project,” reads a letter sent to the board by the Demelos’ lawyer. The Demelos, who live on Westsyde Road, oppose the project due to its “extreme proximity” to their property, saying it would affect business plans they have been developing over the past few years. Other presenters at the hearings include cattle ranchers Diane and Grant Hoffman of Knutsford — who are concerned the proposed pipeline expansion route will impact wetlands on their property and, in turn, affect their business — and Agnes Jackson, who said she would “suffer significant loss” and that her land would be devalued. The hearings in Kamloops will conclude on Thursday evening and National Energy Board representatives will move on to Merritt for hearings from May 8 to May 10.

Pípsell near Jacko Lake, which the SSN says is a “cultural keystone place and sacred site.” The SSN’s opposition also stems from the claim that, as landowner, it was not provided notice of Kinder Morgan’s route application, nor notice of the 30-day timeline to oppose. “SSN had to read about the detailed route application in the newspaper, notwithstanding that Trans Mountain knows full well about SSN’s Aboriginal rights and title claim,” reads the opposition letter filed with the National Energy Board. The SSN says its territory is “intimately linked” to its identity as a distinct culture and that the area around Jacko Lake is of particular significance for Aboriginal rights like hunting, fishing, gathering plants, as well as spiritual significance. “SSN asserts a right

With confession inadmissible, accused killer likely to walk TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The week after a B.C. Supreme Court judge tossed the confession of an alleged killer admitting to police his part in the death of a 61-year-old Clinton man, the Crown has conceded its remaining evidence should not result in a conviction. Wyatt Boffa, 28, stood trial last week on one count of manslaughter stemming from the death of Jim Painter, who was found dead in his Clinton home on Sept. 11, 2014. A forensic pathologist testified Painter’s cause of death was blunt-force trauma to his head. In a videotaped interview played in court, Boffa admitted to police that he “stomped” on Painter’s head. When asked by a detective if that was likely the blow that killed him, Boffa replied, “Probably.” The interview was lengthy, having taken place at the Kelowna RCMP detachment over the course of a weekend in 2016. Defence lawyer Glenn Verdurmen described the interview in court as “intentionally protracted.” Discussions varied from golfer Tiger Woods’ indiscretions to small talk about family, culmi-
nating in Boffa’s confession. Boffa’s confession was ruled inadmissible last week by B.C. Supreme Court Justice Laura Gerow. She cited “police trickery” and said the statement was not obtained voluntarily. Without the videotaped admission, Crown prosecutor Chris Balison was left to proceed to trial with the testimony of a handful of civilian witnesses — most of whom were drunk during the incident and offered differing tales — and a police officer who photographed the scene the next day, as well as Painter’s blood found on Boffa’s shoe and medical evidence from Painter’s autopsy. Painter and Boffa were among a larger group the day of the incident, all of whom were drinking alcohol. Multiple altercations took place and Painter also fell and struck his head at one point. In his closing submissions on Tuesday, Balison invited Gerow to acquit Boffa, saying he had reviewed the evidence exhaustively over four days. Balison said the allowable evidence suggests Boffa was involved in Painter’s death, but added it is not enough to convict. “If this were a some-evidence standard or a civil standard
on a balance of probabilities, the conclusion that something happened is certainly viable,” Balison said. “However, to a criminal standard, proof beyond a reasonable doubt, the evidence falls short.” Verdurmen was brief in reply, agreeing with Balison’s submissions. Gerow called the situation an “unusual” one. “The Crown is not staying the charge at this time. They are just saying that the evidence is not there before the court and an acquittal should be entered for Mr. Boffa,” Gerow said. “The Crown has conceded the evidence does not rise to the criminal standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt that Mr. Boffa committed manslaughter.” Outside court, Painter’s family was upset. “This whole thing was bungled right from Day 1,” Ellen Holmes, Painter’s sister, told KTW. “It’s a horrible feeling. It’s been four years of hell. And for him to be able to just walk? There’s no justice whatsoever.” Boffa remains behind bars pending Gerow’s decision. He has spent about a year in custody. Gerow will deliver her decision on Wednesday morning.
Sudden death at hotel probed Police are investigating the sudden death of a man in an apartment unit above The Duchess bar on Tranquille Road. The man died on Monday afternoon. “It was a sudden death at the Northbridge Hotel and there’s, as far as we know, nothing suspicious, but we’re just trying to establish a timeline for this person before he died,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW. She said this is common practice for any sudden death that occurs outside of the hospital. Two police cars, an ambulance and a fire
engine could be seen parked outside the North Shore building at about 6 p.m. on Monday. Shelkie said RCMP were notified by BC Ambulance of the deceased man just before 6 p.m. Two police vehicles were also seen outside the building at about 8 a.m. on Tuesday. Shelkie said officers are maintaining the scene in order to establish the timeline leading up to the death. For privacy reasons, Shelkie said she could not confirm the age of the male or if he was a resident of the apartment building.

Gang unit returning to city JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Lower Mainland police unit focused on gangs is returning to Kamloops following violence in the city last year. The Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit will arrive within the next three months. “They’re very overt, in your face, targeting those individuals that may have some associations to organized crime,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said. Mueller told the city’s community safety committee on Monday morning that dismantling groups involved in the drug trade and proceeds of crime
continues to be a priority for the local detachment. “We’re focusing on both midlevel and street level,” he said. Last year, Konaam Shirzad, a co-founder of the Red Scorpions gang, was shot to death outside his Guerin Creek home. The murder occurred months after police arrested three members of the Wolf Pack gang and a man was shot in the leg in west Kamloops. Follow-up investigations and street-level projects by Kamloops RCMP in recent months have led to the seizure of weapons, drugs and cash, with arrests also likely imminent, Mueller said.

are up 117 per cent (20 additional files) from the same time last year and one operation by the RCMP’s drug unit led to almost five pounds of hard drugs taken off the streets, including 510 grams of fentanyllaced heroin. In addition, nearly $19,000 was seized. “Street-level drug enforcement is a big piece of our initiatives,” Mueller said, adding the gang unit from Vancouver will bolster local Mounties and provide a visible presence in the community. “They’ll go into drinking establishments, making sure there’s a presence there,” Mueller said. “It’s just a real overt type of presence within the community.”

Canadian Mental Health Association executive director Christa Mullaly said people have been sleeping in cars outside of the Emerald Centre in downtown Kamloops since the shelter at the former Stuart Wood elementary closed at the end of March. “It’s happening every single night,” Mullaly told the city’s com-

the shelter’s bed capacity have come in seeking a place to rest their head in the past week, Mullaly said. The shelter has 42 regular beds, but the building’s capacity under the fire code allows 65 people. “What we did is we added as many mats as we could to get us up
to that 65,” Mullaly said. “We had people all over the place, in fact. In our dining areas on both sides, every sort of nook and cranny that we could fit folks into.” Some people have simply left because the building is too full, she said. In the first three weeks of April, the shelter turned away 90 men and 31 women. Mullaly said CMHA is working with BC Housing to change the building’s interior configuration to add more regular shelter beds. Mullaly expects the renovations will cost about $60,000. She has no timeline, but said she hopes to see new beds as soon as possible, though
noted people are finding other places to go. The shelter is currently gendersegregated, but Mullaly wants to accommodate couples. People have also been dropping in without a referral to CMHA’s clubhouse on Seymour Street, looking for a shower, food and a roof over their head. Stuart Wood was used this past winter as a temporary shelter and closed when funding from BC Housing ran out. The city has other plans for the space long term and is working with Tk’emlups te Secwepemc for a possible cultural museum.
FINAL DAYS TO SAVE ENDS THURSDAY, MAY 3, 2018
On Wednesday, McDonald’s restaurants across B.C. are joining 1,400 restaurants across the country in donating $1 from every Big Mac, Happy Meal or hot McCafe beverage to children’s charities. McHappy Day has raised more than $67 million for charities, including the Ronald McDonald House, since it began 25 years ago. The B.C. branch’s house in Vancouver sees more than 2,000 families visit each year while sick children undergo treatment at BC Children’s Hospital. In addition to the food and drink, customers can help the cause by buying $5 pairs of McHappy Day socks. All six McDonald’s restaurants in Kamloops — in Aberdeen, Sahali, Walmart, Valleyview, downtown and North Shore — are taking part. Last year, customers at the six local outlets helped raise $62,000. “Every year, McHappy Day brings Canadians into McDonald’s restaurants to support Ronald McDonald Houses and other local children’s charities,” said John Betts, president and CEO of McDonald’s Canada. “This year, we’re asking Canadians to pledge their participation in advance of McHappy Day in order to inspire others and drive even greater results, so we can support even more families with sick children.”

News straight from the streets of the city JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
THE FIRST ISSUE OF STREET SCENE SET TO BE PUBLISHED IN JUNE
T
he first street newspaper was published in 1989 in New York City. It was called Street News. Today, more than 100 newspapers by people who have experienced homelessness can be read worldwide and Glenn Hilke wants to add one more in Kamloops — a newspaper called Street Scene. The first issue is scheduled to be published in June. Hilke said the social-enterprise project will provide a concrete and proactive solution to panhandling while shedding light on underrepresented voices in Kamloops. “Here is an example of people who are poor and on a fixed-income who are working,” Hilke said. “They’re out there selling newspapers. They’re not just out there for charity — they’re working.” Staff will come from the city’s lived-experience committee, which began five years ago under the umbrella of the Elizabeth Fry Society and consists of people who have been homeless. In addition, the homeless and those with low incomes can become vendors, selling the newspaper for a cut of the profits. Six full-time positions and 25 vendor positions will be created. Hilke will facilitate the group, but staff will be responsible for the stories, design and distribution. A street newspaper wire service will supplement content. “This is an opportunity to help people that have multiple barriers,” Hilke said. The street newspaper model has been in the Lower Mainland for decades. Spare Change launched in Vancouver in 1992 and was succeeded by Megaphone, which will celebrate its 10th anniversary this year. “It works really like a micro-business for people,” Megaphone executive director Jessica Hannon said. “It’s flexible, low-barrier work for people who would not otherwise be

able to access employment.” Vendors buy Megaphone for 75 cents per copy and sell it for $2, keeping the profits. It takes about an hour of training to get started and they get the first 10 issues for free. Between 3,000 and 5,000 issues of Megaphone are sold each month, amounting to between $3,750 and $6,250 for the 50 to 60 people who sell the magazine in Vancouver and Victoria. Hilke said Street Scene in Kamloops will cost vendors 50 cents per issue. They will sell them for $2. If a vendor sells 100 issues in a month, they will make $150. Asked if that is enough to make a difference for somebody on the street, Hilke said donations are key. “When I see somebody selling that and it’s $2, I’m giving that person a $5 bill,” he said. A three-year budget for Street Scene is $250,000.
Hilke recently made a presentation to the city’s social planning council to apply for a $45,000 grant over three years to launch the newspaper. “It went really, really well,” he said. Results from that application will go before city council in May. Hilke said the project will go ahead with or without the city’s cash, noting the group will apply for additional grants or seek philanthropy. Additional funding streams planned include advertising, sponsorships, subscriptions and donations. Beyond funding the project, a city bylaw prohibiting vendors from selling on public property is another obstacle. Hilke said the city’s social planning department is talking to bylaws and business development services. In a worst-case scenario, Hilke said he will work with businesses to

allow vendors to peddle papers on private property. “The City of Vancouver does permit it on public property,” he said, noting vendors are prohibited from impeding pedestrian traffic and being aggressive. Hilke said he has received positive feedback about the idea from business associations and the city. He plans to work with the Thompson Rivers University research community to evaluate the program. The first edition of Street Scene will span the summer months before monthly issues begin in September.
The Megaphone is now 10 years old. Between 3,000 and 5,000 issues are sold each month, amounting to between $3,750 and $6,250 for the 50 or 60 people who sell the magazine in Vancouver and Victoria.

New entrance and a cafe coming to TNRD Building Following renovations to the downtown public library, get ready for a new entrance to the building. The library is located in the TNRD Building at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue, sharing the building with the Kamloops Art Gallery and Thompson-Nicola Regional District. As part of a further building enhancement, the current entrance off Fifth Avenue was closed on Monday as work began to create a new main entrance off Victoria Street. While the four-month project continues, access to the building will be available via a
walkway that faces Victoria Street, beside the building’s parkade ramp. Prominent signage will also point people in the right direction. The front entrance to the building will be redesigned to better use the space that is now an open courtyard. It will create a large foyer for hosting events, featuring a more visible entrance facing Victoria Street. The addition is also intended to improve the safety of the entrance area. N & H Contracting Ltd. has the $866,000 contract to create the new entrance. In addition, a cafe is planned for the space leading to the courtyard.
Better use of the courtyard at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue is the reason for a new entrance to the building that houses the public library, art gallery and TNRD headquarters. KTW FILE PHOTO

HONOURING EXEMPLARY SERVICE
Slow Leaves falling this Friday Grant Davidson, also known as Slow Leaves, will perform at The Grind House Cafe this Friday night. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door.

Grant Davidson took the plunge and committed to his music with a new name and a fresh start. “I’d put out music under my own name before and I just wanted to have a fresh start, and
so I decided I wanted to use an alternate name,” said the Winnipeg musician. He chose the moniker Slow Leaves, which is a phrase from a poem by one of Davidson’s favourite authors, Argentina’s Jorge Luis Borges. “It had the right poetic cadence and ambiguity that appealed to me,” Davidson said, adding that it captures the tone of his music. “They’re basically chronicles of my life and how I see it. It’s contemplative music, I think, and so I think the name captures that,” he said. Davidson will be downtown at The Grind House Cafe this Friday, performing his unique style of 1970s-inspired folk music with friend and fellow musician Micah Erenberg. “We’re travelling pretty light, but doing mostly pretty intimate shows and it’s been good so far,” Davidson said. Currently on a tour of Western Canada, Slow Leaves Grant Davidson wasn’t always a musician. After releasing three albums under his own name, he decided in 2014 to quit his job teaching English to immigrants and commit
to his music. “I wasn’t working at it. I wasn’t touring and I had other jobs,” Davidson said. “I was getting to a point where I was feeling I wanted to do something with my music, but I didn’t really feel like I had the courage to take that leap — quit my job and go at it as a full-time thing.” The career change likely wouldn’t have been possible if not for the encouragement of his wife. One night, while lamenting on the fate of his songs and a lack of fulfilment from his job, Davidson’s wife told him to quit his job and pursue his music career. The rest they would figure out later. “It was the first time I saw that as a realistic option, so that’s what I did,” Davidson said. Since then, he has released two albums — Beauty Is So Common and Enough About Me — toured Europe twice and was selected as one of three winners of the inaugural Allan Slaight Juno Master Class in 2015. Slow Leaves takes the stage at The Grind on Friday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at the door for $10.

Chamber wants to limit needles and increase face time JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce is asking communities across the province to support allowing agencies to limit the number of needles distributed to drug users. Chamber president Joshua Knaak said the resolution would seek to cut down on the number of needles improperly discarded in the community and increase face-to-face time agencies get with users. Of the chamber’s 800 members, 130 are non-profits. “Their goal is to have these people coming in regularly,” Knaak said. The resolution, and more than 50 others, will be discussed during policy sessions at the BC Chamber of Commerce’s annual general meeting and conference. The event will be held at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way, from May 24 to May 26. Resolutions require a two-thirds majority vote to pass. “What’s good for business is in many cases what’s good for the community,” Knaak said. “It’s not just one or the other, right?” The local chamber has submitted several resolutions, including calling on the provincial government to update its post-secondary institution funding formula, appoint a nonpartisan examination of proportional representation and require revenueneutral carbon taxes. It is also calling on the province to maintain the B.C. Family Day on the second Monday in February. The provincial government moved the holiday, effective next year, to the third Monday in February, to align with holidays in other provinces. Knaak said the economic impact on the hospitality industry outweighs convenience.

“I know that it will be a hot topic,” Knaak said. At the federal level, the local chamber is recommending scrapping proposals for income splitting or sprinkling, developing an innovation tax credit and creating an innovation environment that encourages private-sector investment in research and development and technology across all industries. The chamber is also supporting resolutions from other communities to implement a six-month notice to the BC Utility Commission for rate increases and to postpone the real estate speculation tax until 2019. Members may submit feedback or questions about policies by emailing joshua.knaak@fitfinancial.ca or brant.hasanen@edwardones.com.

HONOURING THE FALLEN WORKERS
The annual Day of Mourning for workers killed on the job was held on Saturday at St. Andrews on the Square in downtown Kamloops. 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. Saturday’s ceremony featured various guest speakers.

Downtown nets four Best in West Awards KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association won a recordbreaking four Best in the West Awards at the recent 2018 Business Improvement Associations of B.C. annual conference in Kelowna. The awards honour excellence for projects that have made a difference in the community.
The KCBIA was recognized for excellence in four categories: • Special Events: Welcome Winter Party and Back Alley Block Party; • Programming & Partnerships: Back Alley Art Gallery; • Safety & Security: Expansion of the CAP Team to a year-round program; • Sustainability: Cigarette Recycling Project. “This team rocks and these awards are
a testament to that,” said KCBIA executive director Carl DeSantis. “Some great work has been done to enhance the vibrancy of our community and we are only going up from here. Communities throughout our province admire what we have accomplished in support of downtown business in Kamloops.” Alexis Proulx, supervisor of the Customer Care and Patrol (CAP) Team, said the awards reflect well on the squad.
“Every year, the CAP Team dedicates hours of hard work to the beautification and the positive development of downtown and we are excited that our efforts are being recognized,” she said. “I can not express how happy we are.” Ali Webster, the KCBIA’s marketing and brand management specialist, said the organization is already working on expanding the award-winning projects this year.
Simpcw says it supports pipeline expansion KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The Simpcw First Nation near Barriere is reiterating its support of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline-expansion project. “After seeing what’s out there in the media, council decided that it’s important we speak out,” Chief Nathan Matthew said. “No other First Nation or organization has the authority to speak on Simpcw’s behalf.” The Simpcw First Nation is one of the communities that signed a mutual-benefits agreement with Kinder Morgan. The Tk’emlups Indian Band has a similar agreement worth $3 million. Matthew said one-third of the pipeline traverses Simpcw territory, making it the
First Nation with the greatest amount of land through which the pipeline will pass. “That means one-third of the pipeline has the support of the nation that holds Aboriginal title to the land,” Matthew said, noting the process that resulted in signing the agreement was lengthy. “Chief and council sat at the negotiation table for over two years. We brought on advisors when needed to understand the different components of the project and we kept our people informed of our participation in the regulatory process and at the negotiation table,” he said. That process was followed by a referendum, in which 78 per cent of voters cast ballots in favour of signing the agreement with Kinder Morgan. Since then, the provincial government’s
opposition to the pipeline expansion and consistent protests by various groups led Kinder Morgan to halt all non-essential work on the project and set a May 31 deadline for certainty the project can proceed. “If the project does not go ahead, we will lose out on opportunities that we have been working hard at obtaining in the last year or so,” Simpcw Coun. Don Matthew said. “We have dedicated time and resources towards this project and there would be a negative impact if this project were to go away.” While the previous B.C. Liberal government approved the pipeline expansion, contingent in five specific conditions, and while the federal Liberal government gave the project the green light, the new B.C.
NDP government is opposed and is asking the province’s highest court to determine jurisdiction on the issue. Chief Matthew said the NDP government has not contacted his First Nation. “Since coming into office, the new B.C. government has not reached out once to Simpcw First Nation regarding our position on the project,” Matthew said. “Perhaps this is because Premier [John] Horgan is only interested in speaking with those First Nations who align with his opposition. “We welcome Premier Horgan reaching out to us. “He simply cannot continue to ignore the fact that First Nations in this province, with unceded Aboriginal title to their lands, have agreed to the project proceeding.”
What We're Teaching Our Kids As parents who work together in the financial industry, we often think about what we want our kids to know about money. We decided to use a philosophy a good friend taught his son: Generally there are three things you can do with money: 1) Spend some 2) Save some 3) Share some The first of these is by far the easiest! The second has been incredibly well done by the older generations – think of those who grew up near the great depression, World War II or the hyper-inflation of the 80s. In this article, we’d like to focus on #3 – specifically charitable giving or philanthropy. One of the best questions we heard an expert ask an audience is “What was your great-grandmother’s name?” Sadly, most people don’t know their great grandmother’s name let alone her values. The more penetrating question is “How would I feel if my great-grandchildren knew nothing about me…not even my first name?” This made us uneasy because we hope to leave a legacy that would have a positive impact long after we are gone and communicate the values that had been the most important to us. Please take a moment to ask
yourself the same questions. If you don’t like the answers, maybe it's time to take action. Imagine Canada has several interesting facts suggesting Canadians are very generous: • There are over 170,000 charities and not-for-profits in Canada. • Canada ranks second in the world in the charitable sector behind Netherlands. The United States ranked 5th. • Canadian charitable giving was $12.7 billion in 2013. • 82% of Canadians over 15 years of age donated to charitable and non-profit organizations. • The average annual donation was $531 per Canadian. • 44% of Canadians volunteered time towards a charitable cause. The equivalent of approximately 1 million full-time jobs. From a planning perspective, the majority of Canadians pay between 25% and 50% towards income taxes and peak when they die with estate taxes. It may be possible to eliminate taxes at death using charitable gifting. Through strategic gift planning, donors can direct taxes towards specific causes that are more reflective of their values and visions. You may be surprised to learn that your actual out of pocket costs are far less than the actual donation amount. According to Canada.ca, BC residents receive a combined 43.7% tax credit after the first $200 donation. Effectively, a $10,000 donation only costs $5,630. If you donate a profitable investment "in-kind" there can be additional tax savings further reducing the out of pocket costs of the donation.

TD Wealth Private Investment Advice
How much should I give? Many of us may be unsure of how much to give. As such, the GIV3 Foundation suggests 3% of one’s income annually. Furthermore, they suggested that people brought up with a role model of giving tend to give more. We enjoy being a part of our clients' journey and encourage them to give while they are alive so they can see and feel the benefits. In addition, our hope is others will be inspired by their actions. In particular, their loved ones will know that giving back is a family virtue. Some ideas to consider • Begin with 1% of your income • Setup automatically monthly giving • Give profitable securities (shares) directly which can have significant tax benefits • Pool tax receipts on the highest income tax return • Consider donating through your corporation • Change RSP-RIF beneficiary to the charity of your choice • Use life insurance to enhance the amount you give • Make a bequest in your Will… ask yourself “If I decided to give 10% to my favourite charities, would my three children mind getting 30% of the estate rather than 33%?” Please ensure you take the time to discuss your wishes and dreams with a professional advisor to help ensure you maximize the tax savings and create the legacy you desire. Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

First Nations leaders debate PM’s committment to Indigenous rights Trudeau government’s legislation being looked at by Assembly of First Nations CANADIAN PRESS
GATINEAU, Que. — The Trudeau government’s commitment to finding new ways to recognize and strengthen Indigenous rights faces a major litmus test as the Assembly of First Nations annual special assembly examines several pieces of federal legislation that deal with restoring and promoting Indigenous rights and languages. Assembly Chief Perry Bellegarde says chiefs and elders will be able to find out more details about the progress of the legislation, ask questions and provide input. “We have forged many avenues and created many opportunities to make progress, but we also need time for questions, time for you to work out the details as First Nations, time to make sure things are going in the right direction,’’ Bellegarde told the
participants on Tuesday. A key focus of the assembly is the rights recognition and implementation framework, announced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in February. Bellegarde says there is hope the new framework could be a turning point towards significant progress in recognition of Indigenous rights and title and in fixing Canadian laws, policies and practices. But questions remain on how this framework will be structured, how it will impact treaties, bands and reserves and how it will fit with the federal government’s stated intention to “move beyond the Indian Act.’’ “Recognition of our inherent right to self-determination — that’s what we’ve got to get to. That policy is so important,’’ he said. Sessions are scheduled to examine the progress of several pieces of legislation, includ-
ing: the Indigenous Languages Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, the Cannabis Act, environmental and regulatory reviews and Bill C-262, a private member’s bill that aims to ensure Canada’s laws are in harmony with the United Nations declaration on the rights of Indigenous peoples. As discussions got underway Tuesday, a number of chiefs raised concerns that consultations on the framework promised by Trudeau have been lacking and that legislation on rights and Indigenous languages are being rushed in order to get them passed before the 2019 election. Others expressed distrust of the federal government, dismissing Trudeau’s pledges to approach Indigenous relations in a new way as empty platitudes. Carolyn Bennett, minister of Crown-Indigenous relations, addressed the assembly
and stressed that no final decisions have been made on the rights recognition and implementation framework, saying it has not yet been written. “We know that the process isn’t perfect and we welcome any advice. We want your communities to know that and we want to continue to improve how we engage,’’ she said. “The era of Ottawa determining how and when and where your rights are implemented is over and you need to hear from me directly — nothing will be imposed.’’ Bennett said she recognizes the government needs to get out of the affairs of Indigenous nations and “disentangle from the colonial practices of the Indian Act.’’ “We’re still working hard to prove that we are in no way on any ‘white paper’ path. We are determined to work with you on a path to vibrant, proud Indigenous nations.”
Alberta adding consent to K-12 curriculum CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says more initiatives to combat sexual violence are on the way and will include teaching the concept of consent in schools. “We’ll be looking at some work at all grade levels. How do we talk about consent as early as kindergarten and moving all the way through to Grade 12?’’ Notley told a news conference Tuesday. “We need everybody to learn what consent is and how fundamental it is to relationships between people.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Deputy Attorney World News General Rod Rosenstein on Tuesday lashed out at Republican allies of President Donald Trump who have drafted articles of impeachment against him, saying the Justice Department won’t be extorted or give in to threats. Rosenstein, speaking at a question-and-answer session at the Newseum, chided the lawmakers who have prepared the document by saying that “they can’t even resist leaking their own drafts’’ and that they lack “the courage to put their name on it.’’ “I can tell you there have been people who have been making threats privately and publicly against me for quite some time, and I think they should understand by now, the Department of Justice is not going to be extorted,’’ Rosenstein said, in response to a question about news reports on the articles of impeachment. “We’re going to do what’s required by the rule of law,’’ he added. “And any kind of threats that anybody makes are not going to affect the way we do our job.’’ He did not elaborate on what he meant by threats, but some congressional Republicans have excoriated him for his oversight role of special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

young age and be comfortable talking about it.’’ Education Minister David Eggen said teaching consent is part of the government’s ongoing curriculum review. He said consent is already being taught in some schools but not in others, and a consistent approach is needed. “The safety of our children is paramount. It’s very important to have boundaries that students know about, [and] being able to say no,’’ said Eggen. At the younger levels, he said, it’s more about basic respect around personal space, “saying that you have to ask permission to touch and hug somebody (so that) even
little kids understand that that is their right as well.’’ Notley made the comments as she proclaimed May sexual violence awareness month. She also announced that officials from 10 government ministries and community organizations are to meet to build on previous provincial initiatives to combat sexual violence. It will be headed by Stephanie McLean’s Status of Women Ministry. The department said a number of strategies are to be rolled out this year, including a project related to how police services respond to sexual assault offences. The province will also be giving out seven grants to
community organizations to address sexual violence. Community and Social Services will be rolling out grants for community agencies. The Labour Ministry is expected to announce new rules on how workplaces address sexual harassment and assault. The province has already made legislative changes to allow sexual violence survivors more latitude in filing civil claims and in getting out of leases without penalty. The government has also allocated an extra $8.1 million to provide more police and court support along with more counselling.
YOLA, Nigeria — A pair of explosions killed at least 28 worshippers at a mosque in northeastern Nigeria and wounded at least 56 others, with many of the victims caught in the second blast while trying to flee, police said Tuesday. The attack in Mubi town came a day after President Muhammadu Buhari met with U.S. President Donald Trump at the White House and discussed the threat from the Nigeria-based Boko Haram extremist group. Its fighters were quickly blamed for Tuesday’s blasts. This is the second time in six months that dozens have been killed in an attack on a Mubi mosque. In November, a teenage suicide bomber attacked worshippers as they gathered for morning prayers, killing at least 50 people in one of the region’s deadliest assaults in years. One resident, Isa Danladi, said he had been about to leave his house near the mosque when he heard the blast. “The mosque roof was blown off and the prayer was midway when the bomber, who was obviously in the congregation, detonated his explosives,’’ Danladi said. “This is obviously the work of Boko Haram.’’ The National Emergency Management Agency co-ordinator in Adamawa state, Imam Abbani Garki, said 18 people were critically wounded and had been evacuated for treatment in Yola city.

Find a unique gift for mom this Mother’s Day Mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers and many more remarkable women often work tirelessly and without fanfare to provide for their families. Even though they may deserve to be recognized throughout the year, moms enjoy a special day nestled within the month of May, when children, spouses and others celebrate Mother’s Day. Many people give heartfelt gifts on Mother’s Day to express their love for the mothers in their lives. The perfect gift may focus on mom’s interests and the things that make her truly happy. With that in mind, the following shopping tips can help anyone find the perfect Mother’s Day gift: • Explore spa packages: What mother won’t benefit from some rest and relaxation with a little pampering thrown in? Salons and massage therapists typically put together Mother’s Day packages that cater to mothers. Packages may include massages, facials, hair treatments, manicures and pedicures. Gift-givers can customize the services depending on their budgets; • Dining out can be a treat: A meal at a favourite restaurant can be a welcome change from kitchen duty. Mother’s Day is a busy day for restaurants, many of which
have limited menus to better handle the crowds. As a result, if dining out on Mother’s Day, mom may not get the full menu she desires. To ensure mothers have full menus at their disposal, gift givers can cook a meal at home on Mother’s Day and then choose another day of the week to enjoy a meal in an upscale restaurant; • Schedule a paint and sip: A paint and sip session is a unique gift. A session is typically two hours and includes step-by-step instructions. Patrons are encouraged to bring snacks and their favourite beverages. With the right planning, well-intentioned children can turn the evening into a ladies night out and encourage other moms to join in the fun. Or the entire family can paint masterpieces together. • Give tickets to a show or sporting event: Whether mom is a sports fan or she prefers the theatre or live music, event tickets can make a wonderful gift; • Give the gift of wine tasting: Wineries can be found in Kamloops and throughout the region and frequently open their doors to wine tastings and wine pairing events. A Mother’s Day wine tasting can be special for the entire family and support local businesses.

STANKOVEN WANTS TO BE A BLAZER
KAMLOOPS TO PICK FIFTH OVERALL AT WHL BANTAM DRAFT ON THURSDAY MARTY HASTINGS

es Stankoven is like most Kamloops hockey fans in that he wants son Logan to play for the Blazers. Logan, a top-prospect forward expected to be selected early in the WHL Bantam Draft in Red Deer on Thursday, racked up 57 goals and 90 points in 30 games with Abbotsford’s Yale Hockey Academy in 2017-2018. He grew up in the Tournament Capital, starred as a first-year bantam for the Kamloops Junior Blazers and wants to stay here to play junior hockey. Four teams are scheduled to draft ahead of the Blazers — in order, the Edmonton Oil Kings, Kootenay Ice, Prince Albert Raiders and Calgary Hitmen. “It’d be great to go number one or two or three, but to go to the right team is more important to us as a family,” Wes said. “We’ve told them [each team drafting ahead of the Blazers] we are really interested in Kamloops. If a team really wants Logan, we would go, but they know our heart is set on Kamloops.” Prince Albert does not seem like a realistic landing spot for Logan. “Teams introduce themselves and you’ve got to be honest with them,” Wes said. “You don’t really want to say, ‘Hey, we’ll come to Prince Albert,’ and they pick you second or third overall and you don’t go. You go to college. “That’s the last thing they want and that’s the last thing, for our credibility, we want as a family.” Wes said Logan has scholarship offers on the table from Denver, Michigan and North Dakota. “For Logan, growing up in Kamloops and seeing the Blazers

play all the time, he’s leaning toward the WHL and that’s the way he’d like to go,” Wes said. “I just talked to Saskatoon [slated to pick sixth] about half an hour ago. They said, ‘If Kamloops doesn’t pick you, are you interested?’ We said, ‘Sure, but our first choice is Kamloops as a family.” Blazers’ fans who want to see Logan wear blue and orange may find their hopes bolstered by a strong group of Albertan forwards ranked among the best 2003-born players in Western Canada, among them Zack Stringer of Lethbridge, Dylan Guenther of Edmonton,
Sean Tschigerl of Whitecourt and Jayden Grubbe of Calgary. Wes wondered aloud why the Hitmen and Oil Kings wouldn’t want to pluck a great player from their own backyard. “In saying that Edmonton and Calgary are good places,” he said. “We can fly in there, watch our son play hockey and get out of there.” Asked to give a ballpark figure on the chances of Logan ending up in Kamloops, Wes said between 70 and 80 per cent. Blazers’ director of player personnel Matt Recchi was reached in Edmonton on Tuesday.
“Unfortunately, it’s a draft and we pick five,” he said. “That means four teams are picking in front of us. I can’t control what those teams do. “If there is a chance for us to move up, we can. As of right now, there’s no team very interested in moving any of the top-four picks.” Kamloops has two first-round picks in the 2019 bantam draft. One of those could be used to trade up to snag Stankoven. That pick would also be a valuable asset to have later on down the road, especially with the Blazers in the running for the
2020 Memorial Cup. Conversations are ongoing with other teams, in terms of the price the Blazers might have to pay to move up in the draft. “The guts of the deal will be agreed upon before you get there,” Recchi said. “Kind of like, ‘If my guy’s not there, I’m willing to trade that pick for this.” Kamloops does not have picks in rounds four or six this year, but is looking for trade partners to change that. Local fans will be more intrigued by what happens in Round 1. Can the Stankovens’ public desire to see Wes play in Kamloops affect how teams drafting ahead of the Blazers think on Thursday? “It will make an impact on those teams picking, depending on what the player said, for sure,” Recchi said. “I’ve talked to players in this year’s draft, some kids out in Manitoba, who said they weren’t too interested in coming out west to Kamloops. It’s simply too far away. “I won’t draft players who don’t show interest in wanting to be a part of our program.” There does not seem to be a consensus No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. Recchi said there are at least nine elite players and the Blazers have nailed down their top-five rankings. Scouts Ken Fox, Mark Blair, Warren Renden and Rick Allen will join Recchi, general manager Stu MacGregor, director of hockey Tim O’Donovan and owner Tom Gaglardi in Red Deer. Any kinks on the Blazers’ draft board will be ironed out in a meeting on Wednesday night. “It’s a great time of year,” Recchi said. “We work hard all year. None of these scouts, none of us get rich doing this job. They love being at the rink and they’re passionate about making the Blazers the best hockey team they can.”

Kyle Pauwels and the Saint Leo Lions fell short of a Sunshine State Conference field lacrosse title, falling 8-6 on home turf to Tampa in the final on Sunday. But the attack from Kamloops is still confident his team will be selected to compete in the NCAA Division 2 Tournament. “Our shot decisions weren’t the best, ground balls didn’t go our way and we didn’t capitalize when we needed to,” Pauwels said of the

2 Tournament selection show will be held this Sunday. Four northern region teams and four southern region squads will be chosen to compete for the national title. Saint Leo posted a 13-1 regular-season record to finish atop SSC standings and is the No. 2-ranked team in the latest southern region rankings, which have not been updated since the loss to Tampa in the final. Tampa is ranked No. 3 in the southern region. Lenoir-Rhyne, the No. 1-ranked southern team, also lost in its
conference championship game. “It’s up to the NCAA committee on what they want to do with it,” Pauwels said. “We might even slide into that one seed with our strength of schedule.” The winners of the north and south brackets will square off for national gold at Gillette Stadium in Boston, where the NCAA Division 1, 2 and 3 Men’s Lacrosse Championships will be held from May 26 to May 28. The Denver Pioneers beat Marquette 7-4 on Saturday to claim their fifth straight NCAA Division 1 Big East regular season title. Jeremy Bosher of Kamloops is on the Pioneers’ roster, but the senior did not see action on the weekend. Bosher, a midfielder, has one goal in six games this season. Denver, the No. 3-ranked team in the country in a pair of major national polls, will lock horns with Marquette in the Big East semifinal
on Thursday. Josh Bosher, Jeremy’s brother, plays for Saint Joseph’s University of Philadelphia. The Hawks earned the 20th ranking in two major NCAA Division 1 polls on Monday, marking the first time they have been nationally ranked in the program’s 25-year history. Saint Joseph’s is riding a 10-game winning streak and earned the No. 1 seed for the Northeast Conference Championship tournament, which begins on Thursday. Josh, a sophomore defender, has played in 10 games this season, starting one of them. Kordell Primus and Erik Bunce of Kamloops, both freshmen, play for the Alabamabased University of Montevallo, a Div. 2 school. The Falcons posted a 7-7 record in their inaugural season. Bunce, a defender, played in 13 games, starting 11 of them. Primus, a midfielder, played in one game.

Raiders seek vengeance in return to B.C. final
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Darsha Thilakarathne of the Kamloops Raiders wowed the Exhibition Park crowd with this long run against the Bayside Sharks last weekend. Kamloops will play for provincial gold on Saturday.
“We have some injuries, but we have experienced players. I’m pretty sure we can win this final.” The Rowers and Raiders met once this season, with hometown Vancouver earning a 22-18 win in wet, sloppy conditions at Brockton Oval on Feb. 17. “It was a back and forth game,” Pue said. “We had a shot to win on the last play of the game, but got a penalty and that was it.” Prop Thomson spoke to KTW minutes after Kamloops fell in the B.C. final last year. “This one’s going to hurt for a while,” he said. “It’s not every day you get to the provincial final.” The Raiders don’t want to squander another opportunity this weekend. “This is what we play for,” Pue said. ‘We’re amateur athletes. With the time these guys have put in, to have some hardware to drink the beer out of would be a great feeling.”
for Kamloops. Thomson added four conversion kicks. The BCRU will host its annual finals jamboree at Exhibition Park in the City in the Country on Saturday. The men’s Division 2 title tilt will get underway at 11 a.m. Unfortunately for the Raiders, three key cogs are expected to be missing from the lineup, including two who started in the back row on Saturday.

WOMEN BOW OUT The Raiders’ women’s season ended in defeat to the Bayside Sharks on Saturday in South Surrey. Bayside advanced to the women’s Division 1 final with a 31-0 victory over Kamloops.

By no means was the bus ride home to Kamloops a dull affair last May. Libations imbibed toasted a successful jump up to the B.C. Rugby Union men’s second division. Songs sung commemorated a strong season that ended that day in a 38-0 drubbing at the hands of Vancouver-based Meraloma in the final in Abbotsford. The loser cruiser might not be as lively if Kamloops falls short in the provincial championship match this Saturday in Abbotsford. “You can’t help but have it bring back memories of last year,” Raiders’ third-year head coach Derek Pue said. “We refused to let a second-place finish be a disappointment last year, in our first year back in seconds [after spending time in Division 3], but coming out with anything less than a win now would be disappointing to us. We set out to win.” Vancouver Rowing Club, which finished atop regular season standings with a 16-2 record, dispatched Burnaby Lake 24-17 last weekend in semifinal play on the Coast.

Kenneth John Walter Kennedy Kenneth John Walter Kennedy died peacefully at Banfield Pavilion (Vancouver General Hospital) in Vancouver, British Columbia, on April 26, 2018; He was 81 years old. He was born January 3, 1937 in Dryden, Ontario to Jim and Christine (Munter) Kennedy. While growing up, his family lived in Eagle River, Ontario as well as Blue River, BC and he attended schools in both locations. When he reached maturity, he worked as a fishing guide for Peck’s Camp during the summer months and cut and delivered pulp wood to the Dryden Mill during the winter. He also worked for the Ontario Ministry of Forestry as a scaler and as a forest fire fighter. In British Columbia, he labored in lumber yards and as an orderly in the Tranquille School of the BC Government in Kamloops. About 1958, he purchased 160 acres of land near Eagle River, Ontario, which was located near his mother and step-father’s property. In 1959, he married Jeannine Faust of Troy, Ohio, and they spent the first two weeks of marriage living in a tent, while they constructed their log-sided home on the property. In 1964, the family moved to Kamloops, BC. He spent the remainder of his life in Vancouver, Kamloops and Chase, then finally back in Vancouver at the Banfield Pavilion. Ken is survived by one son Patrick D. Kennedy (Heather), of Troy, Ohio, two grandchildren Annika and Aedan, two brothers Karl Berglund (Sharron) of Chase, BC and Rodger Berglund (Carole) of Kamloops, several nieces and nephews and numerous cousins. He was preceded in death by his parents, step-father Alfred C. Berglund, a daughter Kenna J. Dozier, his sister Jeannette Kennedy and two brothers Joseph Kennedy and Nels C. Berglund. No public service will be held. The family would like to thank the staff of the Banfield Pavilion for their years of good and faithful care of Ken.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
