First Nations sell permits for morels JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
do, so something’s going to go there. What did you think? You were looking at that and thinking nothing’s ever going to happen there? But when you had a chance to get some high-end stuff in there and they go, they start squawking like that? Shame on you because now you don’t know what the hell you’re going to get.”
In what Skeetchestn First Nation Chief Ron Ignace calls a “historic” move, six communities have asserted jurisdiction over Elephant Hill near Ashcroft and have regulated mushroom picking and buying. “This morel picking has been like a wild, wild west where they’ve gone and left a wake of destruction behind them,” Ignace told KTW. “We’re trying to prevent it. We’re calling on the public to stand in support of us to make sure this doesn’t happen.” Six First Nations — Skeetchestn, Bonaparte, Clinton, Tk’emlups, Pavilion and High Bar — began two weeks ago selling permits to pickers, buyers and campers. Individual pickers need to buy a $20 permit and buyers are being charged $500. In return, the areas are being serviced with garbage cans, portapotties and information, such as where logging trucks are frequently hauling. The Tsilhqot’in First Nation in Williams Lake has implemented an identical permit system for harvesting morels. Ignace said the regulations were also implemented for health and safety and aboriginal title reasons.

Fencing with the city downtown JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A divide is building between a Kelowna developer and the City of Kamloops — and a chain-link structure will rise six feet from the ground. Last week, the Culos Group began erecting a fence around two undeveloped lots beside the heritage CN building in
downtown Kamloops that used to be home to The Keg restaurant.

Province working with First Nations on morel permits BUT THERE IS NO LEGAL REQUIREMENT TO PAY FEE From A1
“We’re not looking to make money,” he said. “We’re looking to create a precedent where we are establishing ourselves with controlling and managing our land resources.” Ignace said seven trucks have been patrolling the Elephant Hill area — which is 191,000 hectares in size — noting so far “everyone’s been very open and purchasing.” Enforcement options for First Nations remain unclear for those who refuse to buy a permit. “We will encourage them to purchase it [a permit] and we will ask them to leave the territory if they don’t because this is our jurisdiction, our land and our right to do so,” Ignace said. Rachael Pollard, area district manager for the Ministry of Forests, said while there’s no law requiring one to buy a permit, it’s a “way of showing respect.” “There’s no legal requirement
to buy a permit,” she said. “Certainly what I understand is there’s been really positive feedback so far and uptake on the program.” Asked if it could be legally binding in the future, Pollard said the conversation will continue. “I expect First Nations will expect to be having that larger conversation once we get through this season,” she said. The province closed the region to vehicles as of Thursday and compliance and enforcement officers may give tickets to those who enter areas closed-off by the province. The ban will remain in affect until the end of the year. On Thursday, Sally Watson, Thompson-Nicola Regional District director for the Bonaparte region, told KTW an abundance of morels in the region following the Elephant Hill wildfire last year has been “unprecedented.” Morels have a distinctive hon-
eycomb look and are considered a delicacy mushroom, often used in French cooking. Mushroom pickers often turn up to charred land in the spring after a fire to search for morels, which are a lucrative fungi. The year after the Fort McMurray wildfire, mushroom pickers arrived in droves, creating a foragers’ Gold Rush. Watson said people have travelled from as far away as Europe and Australia to collect and buy the mushrooms. “We knew there would be a bumper crop of mushrooms,” Ignace said, noting mushroom regulation by First Nations has never happened before. Some mushrooms in British Columbia are poisonous and experts caution against consuming them unless they have been properly identified.

City of Kamloops contractor Sylvis will be spreading biosolids in Barnhartvale near the end of the month and the city is warning residents about odour from the final application. “We apologize for the potential inconvenience,” a city press release states. The company is hosting a meeting for residents on Wednesday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Barnhartvale Hall. The city is reviewing how it manages biosolids — leftover sludge from its sewage-treatment plant — and the application later this month is expected to be the last. The city is advising residents, however, of the possibility of other biosolids producers seeking land applications approvals in the community through the Ministry of Environment.
The ministry is also reviewing the organics matter recycling regulation governing the use of biosolids in B.C., with proposed changes expected this summer. About 12,500 tonnes of biosolids is produced each year through the city’s sewage-treatment plant. The city has created a biosolids management stakeholder committee, made up of city staff and council, along with representation from the Thompson-Nicola Regional District, Tk’emlups te Secwepemc, Interior Health, First Nations Health Authority, Kamloops Stockmen’s Association and the Fraser Basin Council. Last week, the TNRD board approved spending $25,000 from the district’s general administration reserve on a biosolids workshop. All TNRD municipalities will be invited to the biosolids management and disposal options workshop, which will be held in Kamloops on July 20.

BC Chamber of Commerce AGM begins Thursday JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Talk of taxation, electoral reform and recreational cannabis legalization will draw more than 200 BC Chamber of Commerce members to Kamloops beginning Thursday for its annual conference and AGM. The Kamloops
Chamber of Commerce is hosting the event — which rotates through various communities in the province each year — from Thursday to Saturday at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. More than 50 resolutions will be debated. If adopted, the provincial network will
lobby the appropriate level of government on behalf of the business community in British Columbia. BC Chamber of Commerce director of policy development Dan Baxter told KTW tax resolutions — resulting from the provincial government’s employer health tax, speculation tax and increased carbon and

Baxter said the issue has resurfaced for the third year. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re here in Vancouver or
resort communities like Whistler or a community like Kamloops, there is always — it feels like — a constriction of supply to market rental housing,” Baxter said. “So what can we do to help government develop that supply so we have good supply for workers?” Panel discussions — which the public may attend for $65 — will revolve around marijuana legalization and proportional representation. “Just trying to give our membership the insight from both a pro-PR, pro-first-pastthe-post perspective,” Baxter said.

“We have a good crew of volunteers here and I think they felt we had the capacity here to host it because we have a pretty active group here in Kamloops that’s emerged from the last election campaign.” The Greens garnered 20 per cent of the votes in the Kamloops-North Thompson and KamloopsSouth Thompson ridings, with Donovan Cavers running in the South and Hines running in the North. “There’s a confidence that wasn’t there before,” Hines said. “There’s a sense that we are now part of the conversation around where the province is going forward and how we are going forward.” Hines said the party is building on momentum, noting the referendum on electoral reform this fall and legislation banning corporate and union donations are significant events going forward for the Greens. “The game was more rigged in favour of those who could access that big money,” Hines said. He said it remains unclear how long the NDPGreen alliance will last, noting it could hinge on MLAs being able to carry out their full terms or issues of contention between the two parties, such as the Site C dam and the LNG industry. “I hope we’re going to go the full four years of the mandate of this government,” he said. “I really hope that is going to be the case, but it’s a pretty tight minority government.” The convention is expected to draw between 100 and 200 people to Thompson Rivers University from Friday, June 1, to Sunday, June 3, for workshops, party elections and a chance to reflect on the year that was and where the party is headed in the future. Other notable speakers include: • BC Green Party Leader Andrew Weaver will discuss the emerging economy on Friday night; • Sun Peaks News reporter Jean Strong will discuss politics in the #MeToo era on Saturday afternoon; • Cowichan Valley Green MLA Sonia Furstenau will discuss proportional representation on Saturday night.

Developer to pay costs for spill JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A developer is on the hook for costs after a pool-sized amount of effluent drained from apartments in Dallas into the South Thompson river from November through April. “It was a mistake,” developer Scott Bianco told KTW. “I’m not going to say who the blame was on. It’s up to other people to decide. There was a miscommunication and the storm got connected to the sanitary and the sanitary to the storm.” On April 13, the City of Kamloops became aware of shower, sink, laundry and toilet water flowing into the river from Dallas Town Centre after a cross connec-
tion between the development’s private sewer service and the storm main at the end of Vanstone Road. City of Kamloops development director Marvin Kwiatkowski told KTW 2,120 cubic metres of effluent — which could nearly fill an Olympic-sized swimming pool — flowed into the river from 68 residential units beginning when residents took occupancy in November. “It’s basically all their water they’re using,” Kwiatkowski said. The development is located next to Petro-Canada in Dallas and includes businesses such as Subway and Market Fresh Foods. Kwiatkowski told council last week the connection was fixed on the evening of April 13. A report was submitted to the
Ministry of Environment following the incident. “We haven’t heard anything on the fines,” Kwiatkowski said. Bianco said he has yet to hear from the ministry. In addition to possible fines, the developer will cover costs incurred by the city — about $3,500, Kwiatkowski said, for staff time and supplies. Kwiatkowski called the situation unfortunate, noting to council the cross-connection happened at the connection to the building. “Pipes are the same size, same colour,” he said. “There’s engineers that do oversee these projects and sign off on them, but it happened.” The city is looking at dye-testing — flushing dyes and tracking where they end up — to prevent similar situations in the future.

A sleight-of-hand scam led to a 93-year-old Kamloops woman having her expensive necklace lifted from around her neck and Mounties are on the hunt for the callous crooks. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the senior was waiting at a bus stop downtown at Columbia Street and 10th Avenue on Thursday when a car stopped near her. A lady got out of the vehicle and began speaking to the senior in a foreign language. “The woman had a cheap necklace in her hand and kept motioning toward the senior that she wanted to put the necklace on her,” Shelkie said. “The senior told her that she did not want the necklace on but the woman placed it on her anyway and, while doing so, she took the senior’s expensive necklace off of her.” After the woman deftly removed
the expensive necklace, she left the cheap necklace around the senior’s neck and jumped back into the car. Shelkie said a man was driving the car and there appeared to be a child or a small adult in the back seat. The only description obtained was that both the woman and the male driver had dark hair and dark complexions. The car was an older, dark-coloured model. “Should this situation happen to you, be very firm and say no to having the person put any jewelry on you,” Shelkie said. “If they persist, yell loudly to get the attention of people around you. If you have a cellphone, call the police.” Anybody with information on the theft is asked to contact the Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

PERMIT FEES A WAY TO CARE FOR LAND
T
he move by various First Nations to try to control harvesting of mushrooms following wildfires is encouraging. While there is no legislation compelling foragers to pay for permits, the fact the provincial government is working with First Nations in developing the system shows muchneeded respect and demonstrates commitment to implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Mushroom harvesters and commercial buyers keep an eye on scorched earth following significant wildfires, then descend on the area in the spring to collect the much-desired morels. As Skeetchestn First Nation Chief Ron Ignace told KTW, the permitting process — $20 for pickers and $500 for commercial buyers — is less about making money and more about land stewardship. “This morel picking has been like a wild, wild west where they’ve gone and left a wake of destruction behind them,” Ignace said. “We’re trying to prevent it. We’re calling on the public to stand in support of us to make sure this doesn’t happen.” Six regional First Nations are united in this effort, with the permit revenue being used to service harvesting areas with garbage cans and porta-potties and to provide harvesters with information. In the Cariboo, the Tsilhqot’in First Nation has implemented an identical permit system, with permit revenue being used to maintain designated camping areas. The demand for these morels is high and the fees being charged are nominal as a way for the stewards of the land — the First Nations — to care for, and have some control over, their traditional territories.

Crucial court decision
T
here’s a case before the Supreme Court of Canada on Wednesday that most people are likely unaware is being heard. Ben Makuch will finally hear how the top court in the land will rule on how he does his job. It’s important to note that, along with lawyers representing Makuch and his employer, Vice Media, there are representatives of a coalition of 13 international press-freedom and civil-liberties groups who have been granted leave to make presentations on Makuch’s behalf, including the one I chair, the Canadian Association of Journalists. The crux of the issue is one that goes beyond the interest the media has in the issue to a fundamental societal concern — should journalists be forced to hand over their work to lawenforcement agencies? Two lower courts have ruled they should, decisions that would see Makuch ordered to provide to the RCMP all the materials he has collected for a series of stories he has written on ISIS. It dates back to 2014, when a video surfaced of an English-speaking man claiming to be Canadian and threatening Canada and the U.S. He was eventually identified as coming from Calgary and Makuch wanted to learn how someone in Canada would decide to join a terrorist organization. Doing what journalists do, Makuch researched and sent out requests for information and contacts — and eventually reached the man.
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL This generated stories on the ISIS command structure and how tasks were designated within it. It also involved a Skype interview with the man, Makuch and Vice CEO Shane Smith. Then the RCMP came knocking, demanding it all. Vice’s response was a definite no, citing the need for a balance between the public interest in law enforcement and in protecting the press. The issue reminds me of when former KTW reporter Dale Steeves worked for months to gain the trust of John Bjornstrom, the so-called Bushman of the Shuswap, a fugitive living in the woods. Steeves eventually convinced Bjornstrom to meet with him and the hours they spent together led to an amazing story. The meeting also led the RCMP into mimicking Steeves’ actions, pretending to be reporters and using that ruse to eventually capture Bjornstrom. Why should any of this matter to you? It’s simple, particularly in this world of “fake news” — an
oxymoron if there ever was one — and lack of trust in the media. Reporters require trust to do their jobs. They need to be able to say they will respect confidences and have those people believe them. They must not be seen as potential tools of law enforcement. Think of it this way. The RCMP wants to deal with the opioid crisis. A really effective way of doing that would be to force all doctors to hand over information on their patients who are using opioids. Would you want that? Would you see it as a gross violation, not only of your rights, but of those of your doctor? Would it not lead you to doubt your doctor will respect your right to confidentiality? Before you leap to your keyboards to protest there’s no correlation between the medical and media professions, consider this: Lack of trust in the media in the U.S. is what has led to Fox and Friends, to people threatening reporters and to a president hinting he might do whatever he can to stop those who file “fake news” — which he has now defined as that which is critical of him — from doing their jobs. I’ve been asked by someone in Kamloops how much of the news I write I make up. It was a stunning moment, one I would never have expected in our city. This is an important moment in Canada. Here’s hoping the judges make the right decision. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DON HAY CAN INDEED LEAD HIS PLAYERS
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Editor: Over the past week, I have listened with interest to comments regarding the changes made to the Kamloops Blazers organization by Tom Gaglardi and the remainder of the ownership group. Gaglardi’s comment that “kids are different today” stood out to me. I found the statement interesting and had to get my head around the implied need for a different approach to helping players reach their goals within the game of hockey. When a player sits down with a general manager and the coaching staff of a Western Hockey League team and commits to playing for

different today.” Ultimately, the job of the coaching staff and general manager of a WHL team is to create an environment that will support both team and individual goals. When a player graduates from the WHL, his years within an organization’s culture will have a huge impact on whether he is ready to play professionally. Not all will play pro, but they will understand what it takes to commit to identified goals and should go on to be successful in their pursuit of education or a working career. What stands out to me is Don Hay’s track record for having success in the WHL, both at winning hockey
games and developing players into legitimate pro prospects and excellent people. He has done this through building an honest, demanding environment in which players can grow. His approach has continued to evolve as a coach and I’m sure Hay will never apologize for wanting his players to be successful. He is consistent and players with strong character develop confidence through his messages of never allowing anyone to out work or out think them. I believe a mistake has been made in questioning Hay’s ability to lead young players to their goals. Lorne Cumming Kamloops

The demands will be great on all involved and a huge step in commitment level will be needed by the young man in order for him to achieve his goals. A vast majority of these young players have experienced nothing that will prepare them for the adversity they will face as a junior hockey player.

McGill Road Rehabilitation Project May 22 through July 2018 The City of Kamloops has contracted BA Dawson Blacktop to carry out the rehabilitation of McGill Road between Bunker Road and Hillside Drive. The majority of the work will take place during the day from Monday to Friday, with the possibility of some weekend and night work. Anticipated hours of work will be from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm. Business and pedestrian access will be maintained throughout the project. On-street parking may be affected - please watch for posted restrictions.

An Anglican bishop has undertaken a cross-country effort to raise funds and foster “unity, healing and reconciliation” within the Anglican Church of Canada, with Aboriginal Peoples, and with others who are hurting. Bishop of the Diocese of Qu’Appelle Robert Hardwick is making the trek by bicycle. He started on Saturday at Holland Point Park in Victoria and, if all goes according to plan, the 7,877-kilometre journey will end in St. John’s on Aug. 1. Hardwick had just left Hope and was travelling up the Coquihalla Highway when KTW contacted him on Tuesday. He planned on spending the night in Merritt — “God willing,” he said — before venturing to Kamloops on Wednesday. Along the way, Hardwick hopes to meet with all 21 of the Anglican dioceses across Canada. He will also be praying and sharing his thoughts on his Facebook page at facebook. com/DoQMission.

Barring any significant amount of rainfall, the B.C. River Forecast Centre is expecting to see peak flows reached in the North Thompson River sometime this week. “Just the timing on that would suggest that this week could be the peak on Kamloops Lake [as well],” said B.C. River Forecast Centre head Dave Campbell. The South Thompson River isn’t expected to hit its peak flows for another two weeks, and the forecast centre currently has
a high streamflow advisory in place for the South Thompson River and Shuswap Lake. A high streamflow advisory indicates that river levels are rising or expected to rise rapidly. No major flooding is expected, but minor flooding in lowlying areas is possible. At the moment, larger rivers that drain form higher elevation snowpacks, such as the Thompson rivers, pose the biggest risk of flooding over the next week or two, Campbell said. “We’re really in the critical phase right now on a number of the the larger rivers, and this

The forecast doesn’t show too much rain for Kamloops this week, with a 30 per cent chance of showers on Wednesday and a 40 per cent chance on Saturday. Temperatures across the province have been five to 10 degrees higher than normal this month, leading to rapid snowmelt and flooding in many parts of B.C.

Park evacuated as crews worked to douse wildfire SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
A mobile-home park just east of Kamloops was evacuated on Friday night as the B.C. Wildfire Service battled a wildfire in the valley behind the homes. Mounties were called to help with the evacuation of residents from the Country View Estates Mobile Home Park, which is at 3099 Shuswap Rd., east of the Lafarge plant.
Sgt. Kelly Butler said wildfire crews were able to gain control of the blaze quickly, noting the park was evacuated as a precaution. All residents have since returned. Park resident Cheryl Blyth said the fire was about 122 metres (400 feet) from the nearest of the 52 units in the park. She said she thought she smelled something burning at about 7:30 p.m. and an hour later received a knock on her
door, telling her to evacuate. Cars, many with boats or trailers attached, could be seen parked along Shuswap Road where it meets Adcock Road. Mounties had the scene blocked off. Blyth said there are no structures up the small valley where the flames were fought, but she was concerned dumped yard waste and garbage could serve as fuel for the fire. RCMP said the cause of the fire is under investigation.

They will then be circulated to Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Clinton, Kamloops, Clearwater and Barriere, where wildfire volunteerism was significant. “In addition to the six voting members of the committee, there will be one vote attributed to public input related to the viewing of those maquettes (preliminary models),” Ranta said. While no firm date for the public to view the artwork could be provided, Ranta expects them to tour the communities in June. The monument is expected to rise and be dedicated in the plaza outside Sandman Centre in downtown Kamloops by the end of the year. Many wildfire evacuees from Cache Creek, 100 Mile House, Ashcroft and Williams Lake were housed in the arena. When the idea was first put forward by
the regional district, some criticized the $100,000 price tag attached. “There was no formal vote to reconsider the decision to spend the money; however, everybody was aware that there was some anxiety expressed,” Ranta said. He noted spending the $100,000 on a monument rankled some volunteers “that worked their tails off and didn’t have the appropriate computer equipment at the time in order to do the successful job they wanted to do.” Ranta said he addressed the issue during a recent volunteer recognition event at Sandman Centre. “You could hear sort of the groan in the audience, so I spoke to it a moment,” he said. “But by the time I finished, I felt some of the anxiety expressed by people related to this initiative of public art had diminished somewhat.” It is estimated volunteers put in more than 75,000 hours to help during the wildfires in July and August 2017.
TNRD joins Recycle BC program After four years on a wait list, the Thompson-Nicola Regional District is joining the recycling program widely used across the province — Recycle BC. The board has decided to enter into a contract for curbside recycling in areas J (Copper Desert Country) and B (Thompson Headwaters), along with collection from 11 official Recycle BC depots and 17 satellite depots. The program will have a total annual impact of $633,500 on the region, including $535,000
in operational savings (for hauling and processing recycling) and $98,000 in incentives from Recycle BC, based on estimated volume. Current municipal depots in Chase, Merritt, Ashcroft and Cache Creek will be phased out under the new agreement. Cache Creek Mayor John Ranta took issue with his community’s depot moving and voted against Recycle BC depots. He said it could result in less recycling in his community. “They’re not going to drive
up to the airport,” Ranta said. Area P director Mel Rothenburger, however, said he would hate to see the initiative be defeated because of the location of one particular depot. He said the program will “greatly expand” what residents will be able to recycle, including Pringles containers, pizza boxes, almond milk containers and aerosol cans. The City of Kamloops received backlash from residents when it signed on with Recycle BC in January 2017, due
to the fact soft plastics and glass are not accepted. By signing on, the city receives more than $1 million a year from Recycle BC, formerly known as Multi-Material BC, which will also cover the costs of sorting the recyclables, which is worth about another $800,000. Kamloops Coun. Denis Walsh stressed the importance of an educational component due to Kamloops’ contamination rate being above the provincial average.

DAVE EAGLES PHOTOS/KTW RIGHT: Mike Culos looks over plans for vacant lots on either side of the vacant heritage CN station downtown. Culos owns the building that used to house The Keg restaurant and adjacent land, but has thus far not been able to develop condos on the parcels. ABOVE: Trees have been felled and fencing has been erected on the properties.
Culos says city should buy back properties From A1
KTW has learned council denied Culos during an in-camera meeting access to city land in front of the lots that would have paved way for seven threestorey condos — three and four on each side of the former CN building, respectively. While the lots are zoned to allow multifamily units, Culos needed permission from the city to move back a chain blocking traffic from entering a public walkway so homeowners could drive into the space and park vehicles in twocar garages. The city won’t say why the development was turned down because the decision was made incamera. One apartment owner in the area spoke to KTW after taking concerns to the city. The resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said vehicular traffic would conflict with an area frequented by pedestrians, adding the planned condos would impede views and create a concrete tunnel due to their proposed proximity to existing condo units on Lorne Street. The resident noted the proposal simply didn’t fit the area, which includes a heritage building, condos, businesses and a public square. “Rocky Mountaineer is going to bring 105,000 people that unload and load right here, that quite often come out and take
pictures,” the resident said. In defending the proposal, Culos said views aren’t guaranteed and noted pedestrians walk through parking lots on either side of the square without concern. He believes the city has a “moral obligation” to help him develop after he sunk millions into revitalizing the area. Plans for a Granville Island-inspired area with towers and commercial space from Sandman Centre to the Red Bridge date back more than two decades. Culos said the idea was not fully realized due to economic factors and an inability to secure all of the land, including tracks to add a road behind the CN building. Culos, who has been sitting on land and infrastructure, said commercial space matching the style of the heritage CN building was slated for the lots, but explained there is “no hope” after years of marketing efforts. Also vacant is the old CN building, which was occupied by The Keg until it closed in 2016. Culos said many people have approached him about the building and he envisions a brew pub, steakhouse and finedining Italian restaurant — but he is not prepared to invest until something rises on the adjacent two lots. “We need to pull that value out of the ground. It’s been sitting there for 20 years now with no ability to do
anything with it.” The Culos Group bought the CN building from the city in 2013. The company has a 99-year lease for the building and two 60-year leases for the adjacent lots. Media reports from 2013 indicate the city’s real estate manager said the leases were making it difficult for the company to further develop the site. When the sale was approved by council by a slim margin of 5-4, Ken Christian (then a councillor who voted against the sale) said he felt the city had lost some of its power in handing over the heritage building to the developer. Central business district zoning on the lots beside the CN station allows many different structures to be built, including a funeral home and off-street parking facilities. Coun. Denis Walsh said the city needs to regain control of the property. “There’s no restrictions, there’s no covenants, there’s no conditions,” Walsh said. “And he can pretty well do what he wants. That’s not good for the city.” Walsh was not on council when the city sold the property to Culos, though he said the original intent was to sell to a “true restaurateur,” not a developer. He said he would not have voted in favour of the sale and noted the area sees more than
100,000 visitors to the region each year via Rocky Mountaineer. Walsh sees three options to regain control, all of which he would consider, including: rezoning the land to be more restrictive, buying the property back or trading city property with similar value. “We need to do something to get control of that property again,” he said. While the fate of the land remains unclear, Culos is charging ahead to prepare for construction of some sort, erecting the fence and chopping down trees. Earlier this month, three stands of trees, roughly eight metres (27 feet) in height, were cut down on the two plots of land. The Culos Group did not obtain permits, which is required under a city bylaw created last year to protect the city’s tree canopy. City of Kamloops development director Marvin Kwiatkowski said the bylaws department is dealing with the issue. Culos said having people use the land like a public dog park is a liability issue. While he maintains he wasn’t aware of the tree-removal bylaw, he admitted the company got “a little ahead of the curve.” The city is also removing its “Welcome to Kamloops” sign, flag poles and sprinkler system from the lots. “I could have phoned the city and said, ‘You
mind getting your trees off my property?’” Culos said. “They would have had to send a guy down to cut them down. They could pull the same permit, I guess, right?” As uncertainty grows,
Culos has one other idea for the area. “I think the city should buy it all back from me, give me my money and make this the railway heritage museum in here and put something else out there,”
he told KTW. “Not my best-case scenario, but I think it’s one that works for them.” Real estate listings from recent years indicate Culos had put the lots and the Keg building up for sale.

Steminists take a stand PILOT PROJECT BETWEEN JABC AND ARROW MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Lori Wilcox-Hendry visits McDonald Park on a weekly basis to distribute muffins and more to the homeless who camp out in the North Shore park.
The Muffin Lady rises every week
T
here were only a handful of people in McDonald Park when Lori Wilcox-Hendry arrived early on a Monday morning. She did what she does every week and approached them with her dog’s tail a-wagging, carrying bags filled with baked goods and offering muffins, banana bread, a juice box or some fresh fruit. Every time she does this, WilcoxHendry said, the homeless and transients she has approached react the same. “They always thank me,” she said. This is the second year the Kamloops senior has put her love of baking together with her desire to give back to her community — although living on a disability pension makes it tough at times to secure the ingredients she needs. Wilcox-Hendry’s altruistic endeavours have earned her a unique name among the homeless who camp out in the North Shore park.
She is known as the Muffin Lady. Wilcox-Hendry grew up on Campbell Avenue, not far from McDonald Park. She remembers when children would head out on their own to the park to play, returning home at dinner time. “I spent so many happy hours in this park,” she said of the place where she now takes her dog, Chloe, for walks. “I would see homeless people sleeping here and it’s just so sad,” she said. “I just, I felt like, ‘What can I do for these people?’ And I decided I could do some baking.” Wilcox-Hendry has been living on a disability pension for years, but was determined her baked goods would be top quality, equal to what she gives to friends. Donations from a medical clinic helped her pay for the ingredients she needed last year, but with a limited income, she is hoping others in the community might offer up some donations to help her continue in her mission of sharing. “With a twist of fate, I could have been in the park,” she said of her own circumstances.

“We all have our stories. There’s a reason they are here.” Many she has seen in recent months are younger, Wilcox-Hendry said, and she wonders if their stories are connected to aging out of the foster-care system with no skills and nowhere to go. Friends have asked if she is ever afraid when she approaches people in the park. “Never,” Wilcox-Hendry said. “I’ve never been afraid. I go right up to them — they could be shooting up, even — and if you treat them with respect, they treat you right back with respect. And they always thank me. I feel like I probably get more out of this than they do.” This isn’t the only way Wilcox-Hendry gives back. She volunteers weekly at My Place, run by the JUMP program in Kamloops where, among other projects, a lunch is served twice a week. “I always take a special dessert because they don’t get that very often,” she said. Anyone interested in helping WilcoxHendry can email dale@kamloopsthisweek.com and KTW will ensure she gets the information.

Mix some high school girls together, encourage their mutual interest, challenge them to create something and the end result might be something like Recycled Sounds. It flowed from Steminists, a 16-week pilot project in Kamloops between Junior Achievement British Columbia (JABC) and Arrow Transportation to promote science, technology, engineering and mathematics — commonly referred to as STEM — to high school girls. Recycled Sounds is an eco-friendly, hands-free wooden smartphone stand. It uses reclaimed wood and was designed and engineered to capture and amplify sound. Program co-ordinator Kara Wright said the girls came up with the idea from their “collective desire to watch Netflix in bed on our smartphones hands-free.” Key to the design was also finding the right angle to watch in comfort. They are selling them online and at various events in the city, including at the Brewloops Block Party this Saturday and at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market on June 9. The wooden smartphone stands are available online at recycledsounds.blog. They sell in a classic stained or unstained version for $20 and can be customized for another $5. The Steminists program came to Kamloops courtesy of Jackie Charles who had been volunteering with JABC for some time.

The program is designed for students in grades eight to 10, showing them why they not only need to stay in school, but how they can learn skills that can help them plan for success in the workforce. With that experience in mind, there was no question Arrow Transportation, where Charles is the chief information officer, would partMC122462 MC122462 ner with JABC for a pilot project in Kamloops MC122462promoting science, technology, engineering

It includes weekly two-hour sessions in which students are taught to brainstorm, design, market and sell a STEM-related product or service. Caroline Kaiser, marketing and communications specialist at Arrow, said the company “was definitely all over it” when asked, not only because of Charles’ involvement, but because the company wanted to take steps to increase the number of women who find jobs in the transportation industry. It also uses technology in many ways “so everything just fits,” Kaiser said.

Dirt turned on new animal centre KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
The BC SPCA has begun construction on its new community animal centre in Kamloops, with a groundbreaking taking place on Friday at 2815 Tranquille Rd., across from the airport. The 2.2-acre property will house the $6.5-million, 10,500-square-foot facility that will replace the current cramped SPCA shelter on Eighth Street on the North Shore. The new centre will include a 2,340-square-foot spay/neuter clinic funded in part by PetSmart Charities of Canada “Our $114,000 capital grant is reflective of a shared belief between PetSmart Charities and the BC SPCA that spay and neuter programs have, and will continue to, play a critical role in reducing pet homelessness across the province of British Columbia,” said the organization’s president, David Haworth.
Also prominent at the groundbreaking were members of the Olynyk family of Kamloops, who are serving as ambassadors of the High Five capital campaign to raise the $700,000 in community donations needed to complete the facility. The family includes Ken, Arlene, Jesse, Maya and Kelly, a forward with the NBA’s Miami Heat. “We’re excited that the new centre will help the SPCA do even more in our communities to provide life-saving care for animals,” Kelly said. “As a family, we are proud to be a part of this community effort to raise the necessary funds to complete the project.” This community animal centre will incorporate modern designs, including 12 shared apartments for dogs to encourage natural movement and socialization, five large cat rooms, designated areas for temperament and behaviour assess-
ments and specialized isolation areas for sick and injured animals. The centre will also have a large retail area for pet supplies, a dog-wash station for the public, office space for regional animal cruelty investigators and a multipurpose space for dog training, SPCA youth camps, workshops and other events for the community. The branch in Kamloops cares for more than 1,500 neglected, abused and homeless animals each year and offers a wide range of programs to promote the welfare of animals. Funding for the new community animal centre includes $1.5 million from the provincial government. Those wishing to help with raising the final portion of money can call Lisa Fuller, manager of community development for the Kamloops & District Branch, at 250-5723297 or email her at lfuller@spca.bc.ca.

Oregon’s recreational pot market is flooded AMY SMART

THANK YOU KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

As marijuana farmers in Oregon say a flood of supply is killing their businesses less than three years after recreational cannabis was legalized, economists say it’s a warning to Canada. Stephen Easton, professor of economics at Simon Fraser University and senior fellow at the Fraser Institute, said large fluctuations in price and supply are bound to happen when a legal market is created where an illegal market already exists. “There is no reason to think it won’t happen here as well. In a broader sense, we are adding legal production to an already robust illegal production,’’ Easton said. “Consumption may simply not increase in proportion to our ability to grow.’’ Robin Cordell, owner and grower at Oregon Girl Cannabis Company, said she saw the influx of supply coming on social media that would choke out her farm. “I saw just massive fields planted on Instagram, just huge acres, and I just knew that was going to be the result,’’ she said. While Cordell once
sold her pot to a wholesaler for US$2,200 per pound, she said that has dipped to $600 per pound. Cordell said she is planning to pull the plug entirely on recreational pot and focus on medical marijuana and hemp products until new markets open up across the country. “I think I am going to actually give up my licence and wait for nationwide legalization to happen, just because the market is terrible,’’ Cordell said. Oregon’s inventory of marijuana is staggering for a state its size. There are nearly 450,000 kilograms of usable flower in the system and an additional 159,000 kilograms of marijuana extracts, edibles and tinctures. The Oregon Liquor Control Commission, which regulates the industry, said some of the inventory of flower goes into extracts, oils and tinctures, which have increased in popularity, but the agency can’t say how much. Yet the retail price for a gram of pot has fallen about 50 per cent since 2015, to $7 from $14, according to a report by the Oregon Office of Economic Analysis.
Kamloops’ Best Martial Arts!
Commission spokesman Mark Pettinger said the agency still doesn’t have complete information about demand, but added a comprehensive market study is underway that will be released in January. He said about half of the 2,014 producer applications received have been granted in a process that has typically taken between two and six months. “It’s a free market and the legislature did not provide us with any authority to limit licences, so that’s probably an issue the legislature will need to take up during the 2019 legislative session,” he said. The regulatory framework emerging in Canada already looks a little different. There are 104 licensed marijuana producers in Canada, including 22 in British Columbia and 57 in Ontario. As of May 11, Health Canada had received 1,974 applications from producers and had refused 268, while others were in progress, incomplete or withdrawn. The entire application process takes more than a year to complete. Under the federal government’s proposed approach to cannabis, regulations would not prescribe a limit on the amount of cannabis a producer cultivates under a standard licence.
“However, the minister of health could establish a production limit as a condition of the licence if there were reasonable grounds to believe that a licensee was producing more cannabis than this licensee was able to sell, and that the excess inventory was at risk of being diverted to an illegal market or activity,’’ a November 2017 consultation paper by Health Canada states. One Canadian producer says he’s not too worried about being pushed out of the market the way producers are in Oregon. “I think it’s a function of a far more relaxed regime,’’ said Dan Sutton, CEO of Tantalus Labs in Maple Ridge. “Right out of the gate, you’ve got a far more sophisticated production regulation regime, which inherently applies a barrier to entry.’’ Tantalus Labs is a small-batch producer that grows unique strains and only harvests about 100 plants at a time, he said. Sutton is counting on recreational consumers to pay more for a higher quality product, which could mean unique strains, cannabis with a “farm to table’’ story or organic cannabis that has been meticulously cared for. “All cannabis is not the same.’’ — with files from Associated Press

PAUWELS, LIONS TAKE AIM AT NATIONAL LACROSSE TITLE Kyle Pauwels and the Saint Leo Lions will play the Merrimack College Warriors for the NCAA Division 2 field lacrosse title on Sunday at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Game time is slated for 1 p.m. MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
K
yle Pauwels’ collegiate lacrosse career is going to have a remarkable finish. More than 30,000 fans are expected to gather at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass., to watch his Saint Leo Lions face off against the Merrimack College Warriors of North Andover, Mass., on Sunday for the NCAA Division 2 field lacrosse championship. “It’s pretty surreal,” said Pauwels, a graduating attack from Kamloops. “Coming from one school to another and to
have this opportunity … I can remember watching this weekend with my uncle years ago. “Just to think that we’re going to have all the eyes on us, playing at Tom Brady’s house, is pretty incredible, for sure.” The championship showdown will begin at 1 p.m. and will be streamed live online at ncaa. com. Pauwels transferred to the Florida school from Pfeiffer of North Carolina prior to the 2017 campaign, when the Falcons dropped down to the NCAA Division 3 ranks. He earned second-team AllSunshine State Conference honours last year after recording 49 goals and 60 points in 14 games.
He had the best NCAA Division 2 shooting percentage (.690) and was a two-time offensive player of the week in the conference. This year, Pauwels has 55 goals and 72 points in 18 games and his shot percentage of .598 is tops in the nation once more. Saint Leo posted a 13-1 regular-season record to finish atop SSC standings and was the No. 2-ranked team at the southern region NCAA Division 2 tournament. Pauwels had two goals and four points in a 12-11 overtime victory over No. 3 Tampa in the southern semifinal in Saint Leo on May 12 and notched two goals and one assist in a 12-11 regulation triumph over No. 1
Lenoir-Rhyne in the southern final in Hickory, N.C., on Sunday. “It’s obviously been quite a journey getting here,” Pauwels said. “After the Tampa game, finally getting past them, let us breathe a little. Lenoir was tough test. I’m just glad we pulled it out. We played very well at both sides of the field.” Visiting Tampa knocked off Saint Leo 8-6 in the conference final on April 29, so revenge tasted sweet. The Warriors, national runners-up a year ago, were among the teams interested in recruiting Pauwels when he left Pfeiffer. “We haven’t gone over video of them yet,” Pauwels said on Tuesday.
“We’ll get to that tomorrow.” Merrimack downed Seton Hill 16-9 to win the north region title and advance to the national championship. Pauwels, who will graduate with a degree in business management, plans to coach lacrosse down south and pursue a master’s degree. But that business can wait. First on the agenda is a once-ina-lifetime chance at American lacrosse supremacy. Father Ron, mother Kenda and brother Kolby are planning to be among the thousands at Gillette Stadium on Sunday. “It’ll be a little different than watching at Memorial Arena,” Pauwels said with a laugh.

Mutrie’s ones to watch
S
KTW FILE PHOTO The Kamloops Broncos will be without the services of quarterback Colby Henkel. The 2017 starter under centre is expected to play in the U Sports ranks this season.
pring camp, held earlier this month at Hillside Stadium, gave the Kamloops Broncos’ coaching staff a good look at the roster for the 2018 B.C. Football Conference campaign. I took the opportunity to see the group for myself, a team that will not include last year’s starting quarterback, Colby Henkel, who is expected to play in the U Sports ranks this season. The Broncos are high on Henkel’s potential replacement, Reid Vankoughnett. I’m looking at three veteran players — fifth-year offensive lineman Derek Walde, third-year running back Andrew Pocrnic and third-year linebacker Justin Haverkamp — to lead the Broncos this year. Walde, from Kindersley, Sask., and Pocrnic, from Saskatoon, have recently returned from a B.C. Lions’ evaluation camp, at which amateur players are worked out and
Evan Mutrie is a former Kamloops Bronco who writes for KTW during football season.
EVAN MUTRIE A Minute WITH MUTRIE assessed by the CFL team’s staff. Graduated Broncos’ receiver Brody Bernier was also there. Receiving an invite to the pro camp is confidence-boosting, evidence they have what it takes to play at higher levels, and it was a chance for both players to add to their skillsets. Pocrnic led the Broncos in 2017 with 312 total rushing yards. He had two rushing touchdowns and 176 receiving yards. The numbers are not
earth-shattering, but are noteworthy on an offence that produced only 188 points in 10 games last season, the second-least in the league. Okanagan led the league with 341 points. Pocrnic could have played U Sports football this season, but has opted to spend one more year maturing in the junior ranks. Walde, named the Broncos’ best offensive lineman at the 2017 yearend awards banquet, is an anchor up front and a leader on and off the field. “He has held down the offensive line for the last few years,” Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka told me before spring camp. Haverkamp, from
Vernon, fought a shoulder injury last year, but still managed 31 tackles in eight games and was among the team’s top five tacklers. “Justin will be a big part of our defence,” Yamaoka said. Spring camp is an annual reminder that meaningful football is just around the corner. Kamloops will play host to the Okanagan Sun of Kelowna in Week 1 action on Aug. 5. Game time is 4 p.m. at Hillside. Last season did not go as planned for the Broncos, who finished 2-8, their only wins coming against the 0-10 Valley Huskers of Chilliwack. Walde, Haverkamp and Pocrnic will be relied on to help Kamloops improve in 2018.

BRONCOS MUST WIN AT MEMORIAL CUP RYAN MCKENNA
THE CANADIAN PRESS
REGINA — Just hours after enduring a 54-save losing effort at the Memorial Cup, Swift Current Broncos’ goaltender Stuart Skinner told his coach he was looking for more punishment. “He said, ‘Manny, can we go paintballing?’’’ Broncos’ head coach Manny Veveiros said on Tuesday afternoon. “I said, ‘Stu, you got hit enough last night, we don’t need you getting hit any more here.’ We’re going to keep him nice and calm and quiet.’’ Facing elimination from the biggest tournament in major junior hockey, the Broncos (0-2) will need Skinner at his best Wednesday night when
ROBERT MURRAY/WHL Max Patterson and his Swift Current Broncos are in an 0-2 hole at the Memorial Cup.
they take on Western Hockey League rival Regina (1-1). Game time is 7 p.m. Kamloops product Max Patterson, who plays up front for the Broncos, has no points, two penalty minutes and two shots on goal in two games. A win by the hosts would set Regina up for a semifinal
matchup against either the Acadie-Bathurst Titan or the Hamilton Bulldogs on Friday. The Quebec Major Junior Hockey League’s Titan (2-0) played the Bulldogs (1-1) of the Ontario Hockey League on Tuesday after KTW’s press deadline. Swift Current took Tuesday off to relax and do team building after a 2-1 loss to Hamilton on Monday. Viveiros said he expects his team to play with desperation when they take on the Pats. “We have to,’’ he said. “We know if we don’t, if we don’t win tomorrow, we’re going home. And we don’t want to.’’ The Broncos haven’t looked like themselves through their first two games in the Memorial Cup. They allowed
two shorthanded goals in their opener against AcadieBathurst before eventually falling in overtime and were heavily outshot against Hamilton. Facing an opponent who could end their season is nothing new this spring for Swift Current, which set the WHL record for playoff games played with 26. The Broncos’ first two playoff series against Regina and Moose Jaw both went seven games, while their third and fourth round matchups went six games apiece. “We have to go after them [Regina] like we did in the playoffs,’’ Swift Current captain Glenn Gawdin said. “We know what it takes to beat them and we’ve got to be ready to play.’’
OLAFIOYE JOINS LIONS, TWEETS AT ALOUETTES THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Offensive lineman Jovan Olafioye took some parting shots at the Montreal Alouettes on social media after he was released from camp, only to return to his former club the B.C. Lions. Olafioye asked on
A23
Twitter on Monday why the Alouettes made him drive 10 hours to Montreal only to ask him to take a pay cut. Without naming Alouettes’ general manager Kavis Reed, he tweeted: “most unorganized GM I ever seen.’’ Later Monday morning, those tweets were no longer
on his timeline. Instead, the six-time CFL all-star tweeted: “But anyways ... just want to say to the fans and my teammates in Montreal thanks for welcoming in to the city with open arms and making it feel like home. It’s some really great people on that team and also in the
city! Good luck with everything!’’ Olafioye was among six players cut by the Alouettes as camp opened on Sunday. Shortly after, he signed with the Lions. The American tackle played seven seasons in British Columbia before he was traded to Montreal on March 27,
2017, for offensive linemen David Foucault and Vincent Brown. The 30-year-old played 12 games for the last-place Als, missing six with a back injury. The Leos’ training camp is underway at Hillside Stadium. KTW will have more on camp in its Friday edition.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of Roy Mueller
October 3, 1964 – May 24, 2017
September 26, 1926 – May 15, 2018 It is with profound sadness and heartache that we share the passing of our beloved mother, Audrey Frances (Punt) Gray, from this world to the next – where she will be reunited with her devoted husband of 67 years, Donald SK. Gray. As Matriarch of our family, ‘Audi’ has been the guiding light of love for her devoted eight children; Donald and spouse Debra, Catherine (Wolfe), Clayton, Gerrianne (Clare) and spouse Michael, Kevin and spouse Sharon, William and spouse Debbi, Melanie (Williams) and spouse Don, and Scott and spouse Jacqueline; her adoring twenty-one grandchildren; and her growing brood of fifteen great-grandchildren. She was Auntie Audrey to four nieces and three nephews from the Punt clan, and two nieces and two nephews from the Morris clan - and their respective families.
Not a day goes by that I look at your handsome picture on the wall. Memories fill my heart and mind of all the good times we shared.
Born on September 26, 1926 to Geraldine (Hale) and Hobert Punt, Audrey grew up and shared adulthood alongside her beloved younger brother Hartland until his passing in 2007, and her older brother Clayton whose life was tragically cut short at age eleven.
Your courage and determination you showed to get back on your feet, after your accident showed what a Great Man you were. “Just wait Mum I’ll be home soon”. “Love you more Mum”.
Audrey attended the Villa Maria Convent in Montreal where she earned a Governor General’s Award upon graduation. After training to become a nurse during World War II, she met the love of her life and the dashing Spitfire pilot Donald, when he returned to his Montreal home after the war ended.
Until we meet again, I love you, and miss your beautiful smile, as does your sister Lisa, Mike, Charlotte and Ryan.
Love Mum
Audrey and Don began their family in Montreal and laterally moved to Edmonton where the last five children were born. They eventually moved from the city to create a memorable country home, working farm and cattle ranch called “Graybriar” on 328 acres between Stony Plain and Spruce Grove. After the last of their children had left home they moved to Vancouver, White Rock, Kamloops and then West

Audrey Frances Gray Vancouver to be closer to family and enjoy the BC lifestyle. An avid and accomplished homemaker, knitter, crafter, reader, golfer, gardener and volunteer Audrey collaborated closely, danced gracefully and travelled extensively with Don throughout her long, happy and successful life. Audi was surrounded by her devoted and loving family this past weekend as we gathered by her bedside at North Shore Hospice in Vancouver. Her sweet soul flew away on Tuesday, May 15, 2018 around 8:15 am. Words cannot capture the breadth and depth of her positive energy, impact and influence on our direct and extended family, as well as on the many close friends she held dear over 91 years. Audi’s signature and enduring legacy of warmth, style, grace, compassion and kindness will remain in our hearts, souls, and minds forever. Rest in peace, beautiful soul.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
