Bumper crop in Lake’s career change JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Terry Lake is on pace to become a marijuana millionaire. Since joining medical cannabis producer Hydropothecary Corp. last summer, KTW has learned the former Kamloops politician has hundreds of thousands of stock options and shares currently worth more than $1 million, with that amount likely to rise as the company prepares for significant growth when recreational marijuana becomes legal in Canada later this year. “It really is on paper, number one,” Lake told KTW. “I don’t like to count my chickens.” Lake was mayor of Kamloops, MLA for Kamloops North-Thompson and provincial health minister. He did not seek re-election in the May 2017 provincial election and became vicepresident of corporate social responsibility for Hydropothecary Corp. at the end of August. Company co-founder Adam Miron volunteered for Lake’s mayoral campaign in 2005. Lake said he became interested in medical cannabis after attending a conference in New York a couple of years ago to support his daughter, who was doing research. He said the world of cannabis opened up to him as a potential medication. After leaving politics last year, Lake said, he got a call from Miron. “He’d been operating Hydropothecary for a couple of years before he contacted me and that’s when they were gearing up for this legalization that was looming,” Lake said. Hydropothecary Corp. was established in 2013

and produces in Quebec 3,600 kilograms of medical marijuana per year. As Canada moves to legalize recreational marijuana, however, the company is poised for significant expansion, with plans to break ground on new greenhouses this summer and winter. “When both these expansions [greenhouses] are finished, we will have close to 1.3 million square feet of greenhouses and we will be capable of producing 108,000 kg of cannabis per year,” the company’s website states. Under Canadian law, insiders are required to disclose their holdings of company stock. Public documents confirmed by Lake reveal he was given 325,000 stock options on Sept. 8, 2017. He also purchased 5,500 shares nearly three months later, on Nov. 30. Options are given to employees as an incentive, essentially a guaranteed stock rate, sometimes given in lieu of salary increases or bonuses. They give employees skin in the game to help increase the value of the company without risk and work to retain employees. When Lake received his options, they were priced at $1.37. On Thursday, Hydropothecary Corp.’s share price was at $4.98. Options are worthless until they’re paid out and, when they are, financial gain is measured by the stock rate less the option rate. Lake said he can cash out one-third of the options in the first year and the full amount after three years. Today, Lake’s options and shares amount to $1.2 million. That number may climb, however, as the company grows and recreational cannabis becomes legal.

If Hydropothecary Corp.’s stock increases on pace with its projected marijuana production — 30 times more by the end of the year — Lake’s current stake would be worth $36 million. Since joining Hydropothecary Corp., Lake has spoken on various aspects of marijuana legalization both online and in the media. He has written op-ed pieces in Kamloops This Week and the Vancouver Sun. Lake described his role as the “conscience of the company,” comparing it to social initiatives undertaken by BCLC among the temptationgoods industry. He is also a spokesperson for the company in English Canada. Lake noted signing on with Hydropothecary saved B.C. taxpayers money. Former MLAs receive salary for up to 15 months to transition from politics. Lake said he collected it for three months. Meanwhile, Miron is also positioned for a hefty green payout. He has 750,000 Hydropothecary Corp. stock options, which were given at a rate of $2.69 in December 2017. He also has 3.3-million shares in the company. The total combined value as of Thursday was $18.2 million. Miron’s background is in media and he helped launch iPolitics. GREEN RUSH While Lake is poised to cash in on the impending cannabis legalization, he cautioned those looking to join the green rush. Investors should consult financial advisors, he said, and stressed the importance of doing homework amid the hype. “I would never want to shoulder that responsibility with friends or anyone I know,” he said.

5 REASONS TO THINK TWICE

about adding a child as a joint owner of your assets Joint ownership is traditionally used between spouses for family property such as a home or bank account. However, placing assets into joint names between a parent and adult child is an increasingly common method of “do it yourself” estate planning. While this sort of joint ownership has some advantages, there are a lot of unexpected pitfalls that you should be aware of:

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

WALKING FOR DIVERSITY

1. Loss of control – by putting your child on title, you give your child veto power over how to deal with the asset.

Leading the annual Diversity Walk along Tranquille Road on Thursday were Kamloops Immigrant Services staff members Amy Paran (left), Elizabeth Brown, Min Cheng and Shiro Abraham. The walk to promote diversity and inclusion left Wilson House and ended at the Kamloops Immigrant Services office at Tranquille Road and Yew Street, where a barbecue was held. For more information on what the organization offers, go online to immigrantservices.ca or call 778-470-6101.

2. Exposure to child’s creditors – if your child runs up debts, creditors could look to your property to pay those debts.

No arrests yet in shooting linked to organized crime

3. Tax consequences – you could lose part of your homeowners grant, your child could become liable to pay tax on investment income in a joint account, or you could be considered to have given away ½ of your asset, triggering tax for you. 4. Lack of benefit – if you have any other assets that are not held jointly, your estate may have to pay probate fees even on those assets that are joint, meaning you have taken risk for no benefit.

Police believe a brazen broaddaylight shooting at a busy Sahali intersection this week has links to organized crime. One man was hospitalized with gunshot wounds following the incident on Monday afternoon, which saw shots fired from a black Escalade into a silver car on McGill Road just east of the Summit Drive intersection. Police said two men with bandanas over their faces were seen firing from the Escalade. “Intrinsically, there are links to organized crime,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “Organized crime fuels the drug trade and we know that the two people in the victim vehicle were associated to the drug trade so, at some level, organized crime is involved.” The shooting took place just before 1:30 p.m. and sparked a city-wide manhunt. Police eventually found both vehicles involved, but no arrests have been made. Shelkie said investigators are now convinced the McGill Road shooting was related to another shots-fired incident three hours earlier, in which a window was shot out at a home on Salish Road on the Tk’emlups reserve. According to Shelkie, the investigation into the incident is

5. Disputes after death – if there are multiple children, joint ownership with one child is ripe for divisive family disputes, years of acrimony, and wasted dollars on litigation. If you are considering using joint ownership as a form of estate planning – and even if you have already done so – legal advice can help to avoid these pitfalls, or at least reduce the risks.

the top priority for local police. “It’s an attempted murder in broad daylight at a very busy intersection,” she said. “All of serious crimes is working on it and additional officers have been seconded. It’s our No. 1 priority.” The 56-year-old victim of the shooting underwent surgery at Royal Inland Hospital, but Shelkie would not provide an update on the Kamloops man’s

condition nor say whether he is being co-operative with investigators. A second person in the target vehicle — a person police call “a young person” — is from a community other than Kamloops, though police will not specify the city. That person was not injured in the shooting. Mounties said both targets of the shooting are involved in the drug trade.

Study looks at economic impact of legal pot in city MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Venture Kamloops wants to lift the cloud of uncertainty when it comes to the economic impact the marijuana industry will have on Kamloops once recreational pot is legalized this summer. The economic-development arm for the City of Kamloops is asking an economist to determine what effect the legal substance will have on the local economy. “We just want to have some projections about what kind of impacts something like that will have on the economy, because our sense is it’s going to be significant,” Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson told KTW. “But we don’t know that for sure, so we want the economist to do some modelling and give us some idea of what we can expect.” The questions for the economicimpact study were developed based on what Venture Kamloops believes is bringing the most significant change to the local economy. Anderson said the organization doesn’t usually examine such a niche sector as marijuana, but noted “that particular line of busi-

MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson said the study is expected to be completed by November.

ness is so new and so different and it’s been a long time since something that was illegal has been made legal.” Venture Kamloops has seen an influx of people seeking business advice with the impending legalization of recreational marijuana. The Senate this week sent The Cannabis Act back to the House of Commons with 46 proposed

amendments. MPs will debate those amendments. Once the bill is passed, legalization of marijuana will proceed, likely in the fall. Between March and the end of May, Venture Kamloops was contacted by up to seven first-time local entrepreneurs interested in opening recreational retail shops in Kamloops, according to Anderson. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian

told KTW he expects there will be up to 20 retail outlets in Kamloops by the time legalization is in place. The study will also look at possible scenarios the growing hightechnology sector may create in Kamloops’ economic future. “They have insight into economic trends and modelling and they can produce data. We’re wondering about scenarios — they can tell us if there are scenarios or not and what the impact of those scenarios are,” Anderson said. The study went out to tender in May and has been awarded, Anderson said, with the successful bidder expected to be revealed next week. It is expected to be completed by November. The study will also provide a comprehensive overview of the current business climate in Kamloops and measure Kamloops’ economic diversity for sectors in ups and downs of the business cycle. The last such study commissioned by Venture Kamloops looked at the potential impacts of the Ajax mine and the Trans Mountain expansion projects proceeding. Results showed the projects — Ajax was rejected in December by

the provincial government, while the pipeline expansion project remains the subject of court challenges — would have substantial economic impacts on the local economy if they moved ahead, Anderson said. The study found the mine would have added a half per cent to the region’s gross domestic product, while pipeline construction would support about 750 jobs, generate $21.2 million in provincial GDP and contribute $487,000 to the city’s revenue. The study comes at the same time Venture Kamloops is developing a new five-year strategic plan. The current document expires at the end of the year. The plan is in its first draft, Anderson said, noting it will be ready for the board to review in October and up for approval at the December board meeting. It will be up to the board to outline the goals for the next five years. The main goal accomplished in the last strategic plan was to develop programs for business retention, expansion and attraction. “We didn’t really have ongoing programs before that program was put in place,” Anderson said.

Transit expansion on tap JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

As transit expands to the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc reserve this fall, thousands of hours will also be added to city routes. “Lots of positives in recent years, as far as I can see,” Kamloops sustainability director Marvin Kwiatkowski told council Tuesday during its regular meeting. Service changes are coming to routes in North Kamloops, Batchelor Heights, Westsyde, Sahali, Aberdeen and Pineview, including: • Increased frequency of Tranquille 1 and Westsyde 3, with a 15-minute service between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.; • An additional morning trip for Pineview 5 and re-allocating run times; • More Aberdeen 7 trips and extended Saturday night service; • New afternoon/evening trips for Gleneagles 9, along with extended Saturday night service and re-allocated run times; • Extending the Batchelor Heights 14

HOMESTAY FAMILIES WANTED route along Saddleback Drive and Doubletree Crescent. While those changes won’t occur until Sept. 4, summer service improvements will begin on June 24. Most routes are getting an increase in summer service, excluding the Tranquille and Gleneagles routes, which will be reduced to match a decline in Thompson Rivers University students in the summer. Kamloops engineering manager Deven Matkowski said the hours were allocated based on the city’s Transit Future Plan and a 2016 transit service review. He said the process involved public consultation, including meeting with the Batchelor Community Association. The total annual hours to be added are 8,500, with 3,000 allotted to the new Mount Paul route on Tk’emlups

lands, including Sun Rivers. The First Nation will be responsible for capital and maintenance costs of bus stops and other transit amenities on its land. The bus will leave the Lansdowne exchange in downtown Kamloops and stop below Sun Rivers before making its way up into the golf resort community and looping back onto Highway 5 North, then down Mount Paul Way through the industrial park. The bus will then make its way along Kootenay Way and Kamloopa Road and travel Ricardo Road and Cree Drive before looping back to Sun Rivers and making its way back downtown. The additional 5,500 hours will go to those aforementioned city route improvements. Absent are expansions to the Dallas 17 and Juniper 16 routes.

Matkowski said those routes are being looked at in the future but don’t currently have significant ridership. “I know it’s a bit of a chicken and an egg,” he said. The expansion will require three additional buses. The expansion and buses will cost the City of Kamloops about $400,000 extra annually. The city pays about $4 million annually for a service that’s worth about $14 million per year. Transit fares and funding from the provincial and federal governments round out annual costs. The city plans to begin updating its transit futures plan beginning this fall with B.C. Transit. Automatic vehicle location technology, which allows riders to track their buses in realtime via online technology, is also expected this fall in Kamloops.

Learn about proportional representation Fair Vote Kamloops is hosting an information session this weekend on proportional representation. The event comes after the provincial government released details about its fall referendum on the provincial electoral system. Voters will be first be asked whether they want to keep first-past-the-post or switch to proportional representation, of

which three options will form the second question on the ballot: dual-member, mixed-member or rural-urban. “Now that the referendum question is out there, there’s a lot more interest in what proportional representation means and what it might look like here in B.C.,” Fair Vote BC spokesperson Gisela Ruckert said in a press release. “We’re pleased to be able

to offer this free session to give people more background on the choice we’ll be asked to make this fall.” Explanations of the three electoral options on offer in the referendum will be provided. The free information session is set for Saturday at 4 p.m. at the Free Methodist Centennial Chapel, 975 Windbreak St. in Brocklehurst.

DESPITE SHOOTING, CITY REMAINS SAFE

Y

es, Kamloops remains a safe city. Sure, there are the odd moments of anarchy, when shots are fired on busy streets, but for the most part, one can walk the streets of the Tournament Capital without fearing their demise is imminent. We can recall three recent incidents of gunfire on streets: • This past Monday at McGill and Summit, when an organized crime dispute led to someone in an Escalade shooting someone else in a silver car in broad daylight at the busy corner of Summit and McGill; • Last September on a quiet street in Guerin Creek, when Red Scorpions gang co-founder Konaam Shirzad was ambushed and shot in the head as he walked with fellow gang members on the sidewalk outside his home; • In June 2016 outside Landmark Place (just metres from this past Monday’s shooting), when two men involved in the drug trade engaged in a disagreement that led to one man shooting at the other — and missing. Other than those highly visible (and, yes, dangerous) incidents, the Kamloops cretins who become mired in the cesspool of underworld activities generally focus their fits of anger on each other. Which is to say that, other than the rare public display of animosity, unless you are involved in illegal activity, chances are you will not be in danger. The gangland wars prevalent in the Lower Mainland have not yet migrated to Kamloops, due in part to geography and the city’s RCMP having long held various criminal organizations at bay. This week’s shooting is indeed shocking, but the fact that it is shows how rare such events are locally. When shootings on the street become daily events that hardly raise eyebrows — as is the case in Abbotsford, Surrey, Vancouver and other communities in the Lower Mainland — we know the infiltration of the unwanted has been achieved.

Transport transformation

T

he city’s new TMP (transportation master plan) will be ratified by council in a few short months. The new TMP replaces the 1999 travel smart plan, which, at 20 years old, is quite obviously long overdue for renewal. During the past 20 years, all facets of transportation have experienced significant change, be it the advent of electric cars, the integration of technology or advances in research regarding the benefits of active transportation like walking or cycling. The new TMP takes these and other new urban planning best practices into account by refocusing our future transportation priorities on active forms of transportation — namely cycling, walking and transit. During my seven years at city hall, I’ve seen updates to the bicycle master plan, the pedestrian master plan and trails master plan. The TMP will bring all of these plans together under one umbrella in an integrated way. Bike to Work and School Week, which took place two weeks ago, helps promote the personal and community benefits of leaving the car at home every now and then. Cumulatively, Kamloopsians cycled more than 23,000 kilometres during the week-long event. Across the province, almost 44,0000 British Columbians cycled in excess of 1.3-million kilometres. Commuting by bike comes with a whole host of perks: it’s fun, it limits my contribution to air pollution and greenhouse-gas emissions and it doubles as a free gym pass.

DONOVAN CAVERS View From

SD73

The new multi-use pathway through Peterson Creek Park will be to cyclists and pedestrians what Columbia Street is to motorists. This project has been on the books for many years and it closes a crucial gap in the cycling network by linking Sahali to the downtown core. City staff are in consultation with Tk’emlups elders to choose a place name for the new pathway, which will recognize and celebrate Indigenous culture. Sidewalk projects laid out in the pedestrian master plan continue to role out across the city, with an emphasis on the North Shore, where many areas still lack basic sidewalks. On the technological side of transportation, a major innovation that has been in the works for years is finally due to arrive in the River City this fall. Automatic vehicle location will soon be integrated within our transit system. The implementation of this technology will mean anyone with a computer or smartphone will be able to track their transit bus in

real time, giving them the option to essentially meet their bus at the stop. Being able to remain indoors until just before a bus arrives — especially during the coldest months of the year — will be a major improvement to the rider experience. Another exciting bit of transit news is the recently announced extension of transit service to Tk’emlups lands, including Sun Rivers. This expansion, which will begin in early September, will further strengthen the connection between our two communities. Recent statistics show more than 3.5-million rides were provided by Kamloops Transit last year, which is a new high water mark. With the service enhancements I’ve noted here, I am confident these numbers will continue on an upward trajectory. Uptake in cycling and walking and transit use is good for everyone, including drivers, who benefit from less vehicle competition on roadways. We need to shift our mind set and begin to see funding active transportation as an investment — an investment in minimizing greenhouse -gas emissions, an investment in cleaner air, an investment in healthier citizens and an investment in a more vibrant community.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TRULY HOPING TRUMP CAN FOSTER PEACE Editor: I have a serious question. Is it possible that a man who is a compulsive liar, a bigot, a disrupter, a serial philanderer, soft on Nazi, a thin-skinned man-boy, a name-caller, an evident narcissist, a payer of $25 million to settle a fraud case

related to a fake namesake university, a practicer of nepotism, one who profits financially and illegally from his high position, an encourager of violence against his opponents, a bully and a six-time declarer of bankruptcy who, apparently, has good reason to hide his tax returns

could possibly play a significant role in achieving a lasting good for the Korean Peninsula and the world? There are many other actors in this drama, but if lasting peace comes to pass, credit wherever credit it is due. We live in a strange world.

(I anticipate I’ve left myself open to cries of “hypocrisy” by calling Trump a name-caller, but all of the above is part of the public record. Having lived in Korea, I still wish success for this effort.) Ron Ste Marie Kamloops

COVERED BRIDGE WOULD IMPACT PRIVATE LAND Editor: Re: Sid Barrie’s letter of May 25 regarding the old bridge pilings in the Thompson River (‘Build covered bridge across river’): It would be a great idea if it were not in the backyard of the Parnel Apartments at

125 Tranquille Rd. and the Rotary Garden next door. When the water is not high, many homeless people right by the pilings. There is a garden shed, a gazebo in the and compost bins all along the back fence.

Barrie better go have a look before he thinks a bridge could be built right on private property. J. Taylor Kamloops

KUDOS TO ALL THOSE WORKING TO CREATE A BETTER WORLD Editor: I wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to those who work in the field of human health services. Your jobs are endlessly working toward goals that do not have an end target of entrepreneurial wealth, but rather one of selflessness of service to humanity. As I used to work with vulnerable children who had special needs, I wanted to make mention of an event. I was at an appointment and attempting to pay for parking when I was approached by several people.

It was quickly evident most of the adults in the group had various disabilities. With them were two chaperones. One of the adults commented on the day being my birthday, at which time I had made a quick decision to respond with a “Yes.” I wanted to commit to a conversation with this young man and not dwell on the fact my birthday isn’t for another three months. He was excited to have a conversation and one of the chaperones reminded him of his awareness support wristband (Corrections BC). It was at that moment I real-

ized the importance we all play in the daily lives of those around us. We are tasked at times in our life with the highest responsibility for help those around us simply via the occupations we have chosen. We can then either rise to the calling and be our best self for the sake of others or make a decision based on something other than altruistic motives. I am always so moved by those who on a daily basis have the wisdom, courage and compassion to work for the betterment of humanity and the greater good of our society with little regard to

our own agendas. If we could all make such a difference, however small and insignificant it may feel at the time, wouldn’t it then be plausible that we might just begin to live in a better world? To all those who choose to make a difference (some of whom have made a positive impact on my family), I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all you do. It has not gone unnoticed and you are a part of creating a better world. Monica Sattele Kamloops

Charging up interest in electric cars SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

Brock Nanson says we don’t realize how expensive our cars are. “We just get in and drive every day and pay for it because that’s what we do,” he said. Ongoing costs were just one of the reasons why Nanson decided to switch to electric vehicles. By his math, he determined his certified pre-owned diesel car was costing him about $14,000, including fuel, maintenance and depreciation, to drive 30,000 kilometres every year. That’s when he started thinking about making the switch. He said further research showed him that maintenance costs for electric vehicles (EVs) were minimal — there is no oil to change and EVs have a fraction of the moving parts internal combustion engine vehicles have. When it comes to power, Nanson said it’s realistic to expect to pay 1.5 to two cents per kilometre to keep the wheels rolling. Approximately 70 people were at Thompson Rivers University on Saturday, where Nanson, an engineer at TRU

and vice-president of the Tesla Owners Club of BC, talked about owning and buying electric vehicles. He answered questions on range, charging, price and performance. A number of models were also there for test drives, including the Nissan Leaf and Smart Fortwo Electric Drive, along with Nanson’s own Tesla Model S and BMW i3. Among the primary concerns for most prospective EV buyers is range, or more specifically, the anxiety that comes with it. “After you’ve had the car for about a week, that goes away,” Nanson said. “You figure out pretty fast what your car is capable of. It’s just like looking at your fuel gauge.” Another concern with range is the hit EVs take in the winter. Cold weather means cold batteries, which don’t perform as well. “It’s probably an average of 20 to 25 per cent loss. You might see one-third loss if you’re parking outside or doing short trips around town,” Nanson said. “You do lose range in an ICE (internal combustion engine), as well. You burn way more fuel in the winter.” As for typical ranges, the vehicles on display at TRU were as low as 100 kilometres and as

high as 400 kilometres. For Nanson, range hasn’t been a problem, though his Model S can go 400 kilometres on a full charge. His longest trip so far is a whopping 6,000-kilometre trek down the U.S. west coast, where he was able to regularly charge up using Tesla’s Supercharger charging network. Nanson showed Tesla’s map — which includes 10 stations in B.C. (including four Superchargers at the Kamloops Visitor Centre across from Aberdeen Mall) — and talked about how he was able to make the trek. The fast-charging system allowed him to charge the bottom 60 per cent of his battery in 30 minutes, meaning charging breaks were usually paired with meals or snack breaks. He also talked about a local trip he frequently takes — Kamloops to Vancouver and back. Nanson said if he leaves early, he can drive to Hope, plug in, have breakfast, get back on the road, conduct all of his business in Vancouver and get back to Hope for another charge before heading home. Tesla’s charging network only works with Tesla vehicles. For everyone else, Nanson recommends using a website

(and app) called Plugshare. The Plugshare map for Kamloops shows two high-power charging stations, 12 other public stations and six residential stations — where people have offered up their power at home for anyone to charge. The map details plug types, price and amenities nearby for each location. In terms of how long vehicles take to charge, one example was given for the Nissan Leaf, which can take a full charge in six hours using a household 240V dryer outlet or 15 hours using a regular 110V outlet. EVs vary in cost as much as they do in range. The Nissan Leaf is available for between $37,000 and $45,000 depending on options, while the Tesla Model S comes in around $100,000. Meanwhile, the two-seater Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has a base model price of $29,000 for a coupe or $32,000 for a cabriolet. But those prices are before available rebates. The Clean Energy Vehicle program offers a $5,000 incentive for electric vehicles and the BC Scrap-It program offers up to $6,000 trade-in value for another car when buying an electric vehicle.

Pumps run dry in Kamloops GAS SHORTAGE EXPECTED TO BE RESOLVED IN NEXT FEW DAYS A number of gas stations in Kamloops, ran out of gas this week, joining other Petro-Canada stations in B.C. and Alberta with dry pumps. But the fuel should be replenished in the next few days. Dan McTeague, senior petroleum analyst for Gasbuddy.com, said the shortage seen across parts of the B.C. Interior and Alberta is linked to longer than expected maintenance at a Suncor refinery in

Edmonton, which resumed operation last week following a lengthy shutdown. “Much of the gas in [the] region is sent from there to the Petro-Canada terminal in Kamloops,” McTeague said. Gas stations in Salmon Arm, Sicamous and Kelowna have also run out of fuel in the past few days. Some stations this week ran out of regular gas and were selling premium fuel for the price of regular.

Suncor spokeswoman Nicole Fisher says Suncor’s 142,000 barrel-a-day Edmonton refinery was restarted last week after being shut down for regular spring maintenance and the company is working to resupply the stations. She said the shortage of gasoline and other fuels in Western Canada was made worse because other suppliers were also offline, preventing Petro-Canada stations from using alternative sources.

LOCAL NEWS The Kamloops Farmers’ Market has been a downtown destination for four decades.

WILF SCHMIDT AND KTW FILE PHOTOS

THEY’VE BEEN PLAYING THE MARKET FOR 40 YEARS DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

T

ristan Cavers has been going to the Kamloops Farmers’ Market for a long time. He laughs as he says he was likely there prebirth because his family was one of the first to get involved in what this year marks 40 years of

existence. He is the third generation of Cavers to be downtown every week with produce from his Golden Ears Farm just outside of Chase. There are times when the fourth generation is also there when Cavers’ daughter tags along. The Grube/Cavers family isn’t the only clan with long ties to the market. Mary Pallot also goes down to buy vegetables and fruits, something she’s been doing since the very first market set up stalls in 1978. Pallot is one of the original committee members who got together and decided it would be a great idea to provide one spot for area farmers and ranchers to sell their produce, something that not only promoted local growers, but supported the idea of eating healthy. Pallot said the idea stemmed from a group at the Kamloops United Church who, under the guidance of minister Don Robertson, were studying globalization and the world’s food supply. Pallot, who grew up in a small farming community in Manitoba, already was a strong believer in organic, eschewing insecticides and pesticides to ensure healthy produce. She said the first challenge was finding farmers who wanted to get involved. Many already had a steady supply of customers who would drive out to farms to make their purchases, so it took a bit of time to build up the numbers at the market.

DID YOU KNOW: The Saturday market operates from 8:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. in the 200-block of St. Paul Street and will run through Oct. 27. The Wednesday market operates from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 400-block of Victoria Street and will run through Oct. 31.

The next challenge was trying to convince local grocery stores to also buy local, something she said simply didn’t happen 40 years ago. That’s been a work in progress. At the beginning, the committee heard the problems included storage, a need to have fresh produce year-round (that includes during winters, when fields are hidden under snow) and a built-in reliance on imported items. It changed through the years, Pallot said. Tomatoes from the Comazetto farm in Valleyview were showing up in grocery-store displays. Okanagan apples started to make an appearance. The interest grew. In fact, Pallot said, one peach farmer who used to make the trek up to Kamloops from Peachland to sell his wares was so successful that he would be sold out not long after the market opened.

“I’m just thrilled at the way the market is going now,” Pallot said. “Overwhelmed. I like to buy from who I know.” “The best gathering place that the city of Kamloops has going for it through the summer,” is how Cavers describes the farmers’ market. “There are not a lot of places where friends and family can gather like that.” In addition, Cavers said, the downtown Kamloops venue has the best produce in the province, fruits and vegetables that are often less than 24 hours old. Both markets are crowded. Greg Unger, who manages them, said the Wednesday version will have about 1,500 people go through in the summer. There are usually 15 to 20 vendors on site in the 400block of Victoria Street. On Saturdays, anywhere from 3,000 to 3,500 people will go to the St. Paul Street location in front of the former Stuart Wood school, checking out offerings from up to 75 vendors. Unger said there are 130 vendors registered, but some only come for specific periods — asparagus sellers in the spring, apple growers in the fall — and there are others registered to drop in when they have products to sell, an option many artisan vendors use. About 40 per cent of vendors are agricultural, another 40 per cent are artisans or craft businesses and the remainder sell prepared foods and drinks. “We are a farmers’ market first,” Unger said. “There is always fresh produce, honey, meat and fruit. But we also have vendors selling baked goods, drinks like coffee, lemonade, kombucha, beer or wine, food like sandwiches and bannock and artisans who sell things like jewelry, cutting boards, T-shirts and soaps.” Community groups also take part to promote projects and there are always buskers providing entertainment. Unger said through the years, the market has seen dancers, magicians and jugglers as well as musicians.

New BCLC chair getting up to speed MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Peter Kappel has a lot to be versed in given his new role as board chair of the B.C. Lottery Corporation, but he foresees the Crown corporation’s headquarters in Kamloops getting an upgrade at its current downtown location. “I believe the intention is to do something about the existing building,” Kappel told KTW, admitting he’s not yet 100 per cent sure if that would involve an upgrade or a new building altogether. He said it’s expected BCLC will remain in Kamloops going forward. “We have a very satisfied group of employees who are very productive and all is working out well,” Kappel

said. “Why mess with something that’s going very well?” As the chairperson, Kappel heads a board that plays a strategic and supervisory role to the company. “We are representatives of the shareholder — which is the province — and we’re basically there to ensure the chief executive and his team, as well as the corporation, function in an appropriate manner,” he said. The Vancouver-based former investment banker was named the new board chair a little more than a week ago, and has been spending his time getting up to speed on the Crown corporation. When it comes to the issue of money laundering, he said the organization will need time to review an independent report from Peter German,

who was commissioned to study B.C.’s anti-money laundering policies in Lower Mainland casinos. The report is to determine what, if any, connection these dollars have on various sectors of B.C.’s economy. German’s report includes 48 substantive recommendations spanning 250 pages. Kappel said the recommendations from this report will be addressed and he doesn’t foresee any issues in doing so. When it comes to BCLC’s malfunctioning $7.3 million anti-money laundering software system — which was supposed to eliminate manually digging for data on risky gamblers and large transactions in order to identify circumstances that need the attention of BCLC investigators — Kappel admitted he’s

not too familiar with its current status. “I’m familiar with the background, but I haven’t been brought up to date on that, so you’ll have to excuse my lack of ability to address the question,” Kappel said. He said he does, however, expect to see the subject of single-bet wagering revisited in Canada after the U.S. Supreme Court passed a ruling allowing states to legalize the betting. “That’s to be expected,” he said. “What the position of BCLC and what the position of the industry is on that, I don’t know at this point in time.” A bill to allow single-bet wagering in Canada died in the Senate last year. — with files from Vancouver Sun

A date for a verdict in the case of two men accused of firing shots at a group of people on a residential street in Merritt last year will be set this Monday. The trial spanned two weeks and involved prosecutors calling 28 witnesses to the stand. Kleon Pop and Michael Drynock face nine charges, including intentionally discharging a firearm and being reckless to the lives or safety of other people in connection to the incident on the night of April 22, 2017. The pair is accused of firing shots at a group of five men who were intent on fighting them in retaliation for a sucker punch Drynock is alleged to have thrown at Merritt resident Alex Collins earlier in the day at a house party in the 2500-block of Coldwater Avenue. “It’s how we settle things in Merritt,” Collins testified in a Kamloops courtroom. “We don’t bring guns.” The Crown called to the stand the five complainants, police officers who attended the scene and multiple residents during the course of the trial. Court heard the two accused fired multiple shots at the five men from the home and pursued them when they ran to a field at nearby Diamond Vale elementary. Pop and Drynock were eventually arrested by police near the field. In her submissions to B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley, prosecutor Laura Drake said the judge will need to rely on some circumstantial evidence on a few of the charges in order to draw inferences that the accused are guilty of the offences. “The Crown’s theory is that Mr.

Drynock assaulted Mr. Collins unprovoked at the party at 2563 Coldwater Ave. and that following that, Mr. Pop threatened Mr. Collins with a long gun,” Drake said. “When Mr. Collins arrived back a the residence with his friends for a fist fight, Mr. Pop and Mr. Drynock, for no other reason than to continue the campaign of violence they had started earlier in the evening, fired the SKS rifle and the Optima shotgun at Mr. Collins and his friends. When they failed in effecting their purpose of harming any of the five men, they took the gun they had fired, armed themselves with more weapons and ammunition, ran out the back alley, purposely flanked the group of five complainants and then were arrested shortly after.” Drake submitted that the Crown had provided “an unbroken string of eyewitness evidence that Mr. Drynock and Mr. Pop possessed the guns found near them on arrest from the time they exited the alley behind Coldwater Avenue.” The defence’s case focused on casting doubt on the identity of the shooters. The charge of discharging the weapon carries with it a five-year mandatory minimum jail sentence for a first-time offender. Defence lawyer Richard Kaiser told KTW the judge will need to determine if there’s enough evidence to determine Pop and Drynock were in fact the shooters from the house. Kaiser argued the five complainants’ testimony can’t be relied upon for various reasons, including their animosity toward the two accused and because many of them had been drinking that night. “We say you haven’t proved the identity of the person who actually shot,” Kaiser said, noting many witnesses said it was dark out and difficult to see.

TRU professor named to provincial tourism body KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

An associate professor at Thompson Rivers University has been named to a new tourism body created by the provincial government. John Hull, who works in the faculty of adventure, culinary arts and tourism, is one of 28 people chosen to form the Minister’s Tourism Engagement Council, which will provide guidance to the government’s tourism policy, strategy and program implementation. All six tourism regions in the province are represented. For the Thompson-Okanagan dis-

trict, Glenn Mandziuk, chair of that tourism group, will sit as vice-chair of the new group. Sheila Bouman, CEO of viaSport, was named chair. Her organization uses sport to foster excellence, develop leadership and energize communities. Hull has worked on tourism projects around the world and has been a visiting professor at universities in Italy, Austria, Norway, Iceland and Germany. His research areas cover many aspects of tourism, including Indigenous, alpine, cruise, polar, culinary, heritage, nature, rural, wellness and policy and planning.

Man recounts sexual assault when he was a teen TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man is standing trial this week in B.C. Supreme Court accused of raping the 15-year-old son of his friend nearly two decades ago. The accused cannot be named under a court-ordered ban on publication protecting the identity of the victim. He is alleged to have invited the teenager to his North Shore apartment to drink whiskey on an evening in 2002. The victim, now a 31-year-old married father, testified on

Wednesday, describing the circumstances of the alleged rape. He said he felt a lack of energy after drinking a glass of whiskey and cola and later wondered whether his drink had been drugged. “I threw up a little bit on the hide-a-bed and I remember that, and shortly after I was unconscious,” he said. “I remember I woke up to him slowly pulling down my boxers.” He said he was then sexually assaulted, orally and via intercourse. “I, for some reason, felt like I should just pretend I was asleep,” he said. “I never thought an

older man who was a friend of the family would try to engage in

that intercourse with me. I just panicked and froze.”

The victim said he later woke up and “inched” his way off

the hide-a-bed before leaving the accused’s apartment.

The trial was scheduled to conclude on Thursday.

Charges stem from burglary Charges have been approved against a man in his late 30s who was arrested by police on Sunday morning in connection with a burglary. Leandro Roth remains in custody on charges of break and enter to commit an offence and will appear in court on June 18 on for a bail hearing. Staff Sgt. Mathias Van Laer said officers responded to a 911 call at 10 a.m. on Sunday to a home on Clearwater Avenue, near Schubert Drive, with the caller saying they heard someone in the house. “This prompted a swift response from the police, who were able to respond in number and secure the area,” Van Laer said, noting traffic in the area was interrupted for a short time as a police dog was working the scene. Van Laer said the dog team tracked the suspect to a nearby home, where the male was arrested. “No one was injured in the incident, said Cpl. Jodi Shelkie.

Blitz nabs 23 distracted drivers Kamloops Mounties say they handed out more than 100 tickets and warnings — including a driver busted twice for distracted driving within a 13-minute span — during a traffic blitz earlier this month. The June 8 action saw police hand out 23 distracted driving tickets, 17 tickets for failure to wear a seatbelt and 55 miscellaneous tickets and warnings. Officers also removed six unsafe vehicles from the road, according to RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie. That blitz followed a separate enforcement action between May 23 and May 25, when Mounties issued 380 tickets and ordered 48 inspections for unsafe vehicles.

A local developer’s bid to build in Rose Hill on land that includes a portion within the Agricultural Land Reserve will go to a public hearing. City council on Tuesday sent the matter to public hearing after agreeing with staff’s recommendation that zoning amendments be granted, pending approval of agricultural land exclusion by the Agricultural Land Commission. Citing a conflict, Coun. Pat Wallace recused herself from the discussion. A&T Project Developments Inc. wants to create a 58-lot subdivision on 30 hectares of property on either side of Rose Hill Road., south of existing single-family residential homes. The two lots are located at 1725 and 1910 Rose Hill Rd. A 1.2-hectare portion of the property south of Rose Hill Road is designated agricultural land and would require approval from the province to be removed from the Agricultural Land Reserve. It comes as the province looks to strengthen the ALR. According to a report to council from staff, land south of Rose Hill Road is more practical to develop due to the area’s topography. Lead developer Frank Quinn told KTW the 75 acres are already zoned for up to 70-plus lots, but that the

proposal calls for 58 estate lots on 30 acres, with the lots being in excess of 11,000 square feet and one-third of them more than 20,00 square feet in size. Quinn said of the 75 acres, the proponents are seeking to extract only 3.5 acres from the ALR. “In return, we are giving the city over 30 acres of the land as open space parkland in perpetuity,” Quinn said, In short, the community is gaining 10 times more open space than presently exists.” He said another six acres will be developed as a park with trails for community use. Quinn said the 3.5 acres in question had previously been approved by the ALC for removal from the ALR, but the removal was not completed as the proposed project did not proceed. “This small parcel of land was deemed to be of marginal agricultural value and has not been used as agricultural land for decades,” Quinn said. A&T held public open houses earlier this year to review the plan with neighbours in the areas, primarily focusing on traffic impacts, density and the potential change to the look and feel of the neighbourhood. A traffic study concluded the development would have limited impacts on Rose Hill Road. The city’s official community plan encourages densification. The ALR protects 47,000 square kilometres of land in B.C. preserved for agricultural use.

The City of Kamloops has launched a new website it is testing to engage with residents. The website, which can be found online at letstalk.kamloops.ca, will feature information related to city projects and allow public feedback. “Not everyone can make evening meetings and not everyone has a few hours on the weekend,” City of

Kamloops communications manager Wendy Heshka said. The cost to test the site is $6,000 through the company Engagement HQ, which also provides websites for Kelowna, Vernon and other communities. The city will review the service this fall. Full adoption would cost $19,000 per year.

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Denis Walsh stood his ground Tuesday in council chambers. “It’s not rocket science,” the Kamloops councillor told council. “There’s a resistance to change.” Walsh made a notice of motion to have agendas published on Wednesdays, giving councillors, the media and public more time to digest lengthy reports

and follow up with staff, applicants and the public. Agendas are currently published on Friday afternoons in advance of Tuesday meetings. Some councillors agreed more time would be appreciated for things like site visits, questioning staff and responding to the public. “It can be a real scramble,” Kathy Sinclair said. City of Kamloops CAO David Trawin,

however, said moving agenda publishing times could delay development applications. Staff often work on agendas on Wednesdays, he noted, but conceded Thursdays might be possible. He recommended council delay the decision so staff could explore the impacts of moving the publishing day. Mayor Ken Christian said School District 73 tried something similar

service to the public,” he said. Donovan Cavers amended the motion and council approved in a 5-4 vote sending staff to investigate the impacts of publishing agendas one day earlier, on Thursdays. Councillors Tina Lange, Cavers, Sinclair, Dieter Dudy and Arjun Singh voted in favour, while Ray Dhaliwal, Pat Wallace, Walsh and Christian were opposed. Walsh told KTW he voted against the amendment on principle. The information is expected to return to council by the end of June.

Christian noted, however, that staff often work on reports for months and advised administration draft reports could be circulated to councillors in advance to allow more than just a few days to look through the information. None of it appeased Walsh, however, who pointed to the irony of council earlier in the meeting approving, on a trial basis, a website to encourage public engagement. “I think it’s [earlier agenda publishing] a

CAN YOU HELP SNARE SHOPLIFTER?

HELP CATCH TCC THIEF

A shoplifter left the Lansdowne Village Save-On-Foods store on Monday, June 11, with some ill-gotten goods. At about 2 p.m., a man walked into the store and wandered around, pretending to shop. When he felt the time was right, he left the store with some items that were concealed. He stands about six feet tall and is in his late 30s or early 40s. He was wearing cargo pants, a black ball cap, a red T-shirt and a reflective vest. If you recognize the suspect, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. Remember we just want the information, not your name.

On the evening of Monday June 11, a thief broke into multiple lockers at the Tournament Capital Centre, making off with the belongings of several people. Theft at the TCC has been an ongoing issue for serval months. Crime Stoppers is asking the public to be mindful when attending the TCC and not keep valuables in the locker room. The suspected thief stands between six feet and six-feetfour-inches and has a darker complexion. He was wearing a grey jogging suit and carrying a back backpack. If you know who he is, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

The new Kamloops Urgent Primary Care Centre at Royal Inland Hospital welcomed its first patient through the doors at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. Suneil Randhawa was greeted by the medical office assistants, saw a nurse, had an appointment with Dr. Peter Loland and was referred for diagnostic testing. He later returned to the centre for immediate follow-up. “He was the perfect patient for us to trial our processes on and he was enthusiastic about the team-based care he received,” said Jason Giesbrecht, Interior Health’s executive director of primary and community care transformation. Giesbrecht said emergency room volumes were low throughout Tuesday, which gave urgent care centre staff an opportunity to work on the process with their ER peers. Urgent care centre patients are initially being referred from ER

if the care they require is not emergent, but requires treatment within 12 to 24 hours. The Kamloops urgent care centre is the first of 10 to open across B.C. For now, it is open from 5 p.m. to 10 p.m., but will expand to daily hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. in the fall. Health Minister Adrian Dix was at RIH on Friday, June 8, to announce the pending opening of the clinic, following news in February of the centre’s creation. The facility is on the ground floor of the Clinical Services Building at RIH and has a learning centre component operated in partnership

with the University of British Columbia’s faculty of medicine program at RIH and Thompson Region Division of Family Practice. The learning side of the facility will provide ongoing care to patients who come through the urgent-care side, but who have no family doctor to be referred back to for additional medical treatment. UBC students will work in that part of the clinic. As part of that partnership, UBC is increasing the number of students doing their studies at RIH from two annual cohorts of six students to two annual cohorts of eight students.

A&W is committing to becoming the first restaurant chain in North America to eliminate all plastic straws from its restaurants in Canada by the end of this year. There are six A&W outlets in Kamloops. “Reducing waste from landfills is a top priority for A&W and this is one big way that we can make a difference,” said Susan Senecal, A&W Canada’s president and CEO. “We are proud to make this change, which has been driven by the wishes of our guests, franchisees and staff.” A&W will provide guests with the option of a paper straw, which is biodegradable and compostable. The paper straws last two to three hours in a drink without breaking down, but naturally biodegrade within three to six months in the environment. A&W said its decision will keep 82-million plastic straws out of landfills every year.

Vancouver council earlier this month approved a zero-waste strategy with a ban in place, among other initiatives, by June 2019. On Jan. 1, The Noble Pig in the Thompson Hotel launched its Skip a Straw program, which sees the restaurant default to no straw unless requested by a customer. Manager Sara Froese said the simple shift has resulted in a significant reduction of straws used at the restaurant — it was ordering 3,000 straws every week or two —and money saved has been reinvested into pricier biodegradable straws for the few customers who need them. Last month, Vancouver council approved a zero-waste strategy with a straw ban in place, among other initiatives, by June 2019. Vancouver will the first community in Canada to ban plastic drinking straws. The prohibition will apply to restaurants and vendors, but will not affect consumers who wish to buy straws for their homes. Kamloops council has not discussed a similar proposal.

Ruin and Renewal

Latest museum exhibit explores region’s fires, new and old JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

new exhibit at Kamloops Museum and Archives sheds light on a hot topic, both in modern times and historically. Ruin and Renewal: Fire on the Interior Plateau looks at the presence of fire in the area, marking last year’s infernos but also looking at how fire is managed today and through a historical lens. When the exhibit opens on Friday, visitors can view photographs taken last summer documenting hazy skies, and artifacts on loan from Kamloops Fire Rescue show how far technology has come in putting out fires. Leather buckets, for example, were once passed person to person down a line of volunteers from the South Thompson river to douse flames. “Literally, a bucket brigade,” KMA curator Matt Macintosh said. “That’s one of the buckets.” In a spirit similar to KMA’s recent exhibit, Powder Keg: Downhill Ski Culture in Kamloops, Ruin and Renewal will allow visitors to contribute to the collection. A microphone will be set up to accept oral history as it relates to last year’s wildfires.

METALFEST LANDS A DREAM BAND Metalfest/A28

Kamloops Museum and Archives curator Matt Macintosh prepares the upcoming installation.

The museum wants to hear from evacuees, people who housed them and even those impacted by smoke — from bigger stories last summer to more obvious impacts often overlooked. “For the museum, it’s important to us to have people speak on behalf of themselves,” Macintosh said. “History is happening all the time, so the better we can capture it as it happens, the more faithful retelling of it in the future.” Stories will be played via an iPad in the exhibit so people can hear them right away. People can also write down their

stories and attach them to a wall in the exhibit. Macintosh said one of the city’s bestkept secrets is a museum at Kamloops Fire Rescue Station 1 in Sahali. In addition to the leather bucket on loan, the station has also temporarily given to the museum a selection of hose nozzles, extinguishers, respiratory pieces and clothing. A fire-smart quiz will allow visitors to evaluate the safety of their own homes. While Kamloops residents may recall in recent memory the fires of 2017 and

2003, fire has played a significant role historically in shaping the landscape of the Interior region. “It has a regenerative effect and it’s shaped the topography of this area,” Macintosh said. “We’re not covered in forests and fire has had an effect on producing that landscape. Grasslands, generally speaking, aren’t present unless forests have been razed by fire.” The exhibit opens Friday with a reception beginning at 5:30 p.m. at the museum, located at 207 Seymour St. Ruin and Renewal runs through Sept. 29.

BRIEFS Kamloops Art Gallery to add evening hours

The Kamloops Art Gallery has added evening hours and will be open late Wednesday and Thursday evenings starting July 4. Gallery executive director Margaret Chrumka said the change is a response to what they heard from visitors and increased interest in studio programs on offer. The gallery will now be open 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Al and Mairi Budreau have hiked around Kamloops since 2008, gathering and recording information from hundreds of backcountry routes.

Duo details backcountry exploration in book SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

A

hiking couple has put their skillsets to work to produce a Kamloops hiking guidebook detailing backcountry treks that can be found near the city. Al and Mairi Budreau’s Kamloops Backcountry Hikes was officially released June 8 and is now being distributed to bookstores in the region. The self-published book is the product of both of their respective skills — Al created the maps, plotted waypoints, did research and wrote, while Mairi designed the book, helped out with hikes and is taking care of distribution. The two have been in Kamloops since the late 2000s and have been exploring the backcountry together since then. The two first met in Huntsville, Ont. way back in 1976. They were a couple then for three years — canoe-

ing and exploring Ontario’s backcountry together. They parted ways in 1979 and began separate lives, and both eventually ended up in B.C. “She got married, I got married — we were totally out of touch,” Al said. The two made contact once again in 2007. Al had reconnected with family and friends back in Ontario and inquired about Mairi. He eventually tracked down her phone number and while crossing the country back to B.C., called her on a whim. “I said ‘Hi, it’s Al. Do you remember me?’ but I didn’t get the whole sentence out — she says, ‘Oh my god, where are you?’” Al recalled. “I was single. I’d been single for a while and had stopped looking — unless Mr. Right rolled into the door — and he did,” Mairi said. Mairi was in Kamloops to study graphic design at TRU, which is where she formed

her book-crafting skills. When it became clear the two were staying together, Al made the move to Kamloops. When he got here, he decided to find his way around by exploring the backcountry. “I hunt for stuff relentlessly. That’s what got me started. When I first came here I didn’t know anybody, I didn’t know my way around,” he said. He said books similar to the one the couple has created did exist when he moved here, but they were either too broad, geographically, or were dated. He recalled running into entire neighbourhoods trying to follow trails that were plotted in the 1970s. In his quest to create an updated hiking guide, he said it all started to snowball — a process that is still going. “The more I do it the more I want to learn, and the more I learn, the more I realize I don’t know.”

The book features 36 guided hikes, GPS waypoints, maps and hiking tips spread across 222 water-resistant colour pages. It sells for $29.99 and is available in Kamloops bookstores or online at mairibudreau.com/ kbhikes. Exposing lesser known backcountry routes can sometimes have negative consequences, such as increased garbage, partying or other environmental impacts. Mairi said she does have those concerns with the book, and has included notes on packing out found garbage and keeping trails clean. “There are a couple of hikes we didn’t put in. They’re sacred spaces, and you kind of want to keep them that way. By throwing a bit of stewardship in there, I hope people will actually read it and think a little more about, not just using the earth, but being with it and respecting and cherishing it,” she said.

KSO needs help getting lucky

The Kamloops Symphony Orchestra is asking the public to help it win $10,000 in The Great Canadian Giving Challenge. The non-profit organization GIV3 Foundation will enter one ballot for every dollar donated to the KSO’s foundation into the draw for the money. To donate, go online to canadahelps. org and search for the Kamloops Symphony Foundation.

Free concert at Riverside Park

The Kamloops Community Band will present a free concert in Riverside Park at the Rotary Bandshell on Sunday at 2:30 p.m. The program includes a variety of music including traditional British Windband favourites, jazz and folk songs, movie music and more.

The concert is a warm-up for the band, which is heading to Sidney on June 24 to perform at that community’s Sea Festival. The band, formed in 2001, accepts community members ranging from high school students to seniors. It performs throughout the year.

Blues list grows

More performers have been announced for the 26th annual Salmon Arm Roots and Blues Festival. The Greg Blake Band will bring bluegrass to the stage, as Blake brings with him Grammy Award winner Sally Van Meter on dobro, fiddler Blaine Sprouse, John Reischman on mandolin and bassist Mark Shatz. Russell deCarle of Prairie Oyster fame is also joining the lineup, as is Lonesome Ace Stringband, which includes in its repertoire Appalachian folk songs, fiddle and banjo tunes and songs of love, loss, hard work and everyday life. Guitar master Steve Dawson and his band will be busy at the festival, as well, both as a unit and with individual performers taking part in other workshops and events. Singer-songwriter Nathan Tinkham is also coming for the Aug. 16 to Aug. 19 festival. During the past four decades, he has performed with Ian Tyson, Wilf Carter, Cindy Church, Quartette, Diamond Joe White and the Great Western Orchestra.

Metalfest organizer snags one of his dream bands DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

J

esse Valstar can organize Metalfest with a cup of coffee. It’s pretty easy, the cofounder of the annual event said. It’s held in Armstrong — where he lives — “and I just have to go to the coffee shop and everyone I need to talk to is there. The town councillor is there. Grocery store is there.” Add to that experience creating the two-day event as it marks its 10th anniversary this year. The genre is metal because that’s his music, Valstar said. He’s been playing bass for Odinfist since it formed in 2006 and the band is on the list for this year’s festival, which runs July 13 and July 14. Valstar’s thrilled at to have finally booked the headline act, deathmetal band Kataklysm, one he’s been trying to put on the schedule for years.

It’s been around since 1991 and has been nominated or won awards in the past two decades, including favourite metal artist/ group and metal band of the year at the Canadian Independent Music Awards and heavy metal album of the year at the Juno Awards. “They’re a big deal,” Valstar said. “Internationally, they’re quite recognized. They get good slots at Europe festivals.” One of the goals of the festival is to help promote other metal bands that are starting out or just not getting recognized. This year, one of those is Neck of the Woods, a Vancouver-based band formed four years ago. Its music is described as progressive metal and its live shows have earned the band the reputation as one of the most exciting bands to come from that city. A non-profit group, West Metal Entertainment Society, is behind

Kataklysm has been a target for Metalfest organizers for years. They will play the festival on July 13 and July 14.

the festival so everyone involved in putting them on is a volunteer, Valstar said. The group “has put in the extra effort in making this year the best year we have ever had,” he said. “Celebrating 10 years of this festival is a big deal. There were people who were quite skeptical about the event when it first originated. Some

even went as far as to say it would never work and that it won’t last. “Now, 10 years later, the tone overall is very welcoming and has been for many years.” Thirty-seven bands are on the program, most Canadian although The Kennedy Veil is coming from Sacramento and Sarah Longfield from Wisconsin.

General admission tickets are $125, which includes camping. The price goes up to $165 at the door. Day passes are $70, but do not include camping. It’s $20 per night for day-pass holders. Tickets can be bought online at armstrongmetalfest.ca. Tickets are also available at Kamloops Rock and Smoke Shop, 441 Seymour St.

ouglas Schofield finds inspiration for his strong female characters from the women in his life. He also has a good editor. “I have an amazing wife who reads all my drafts,” Schofield said. “She’s the main editor.” His wife also helps ensure he writes his heroines from a woman’s perspective as opposed to male one. “Sometimes it’s just a use of language — just a couple of words in a sentence changes everything,” he said. The former Kamloops prosecutor is back in the Tournament Capital making an appearance at the local Chapters at 1 p.m. on Friday signing his new fiction novel, Killing Pace. The book tells the story of Laura Pace, a cunning, tough as nails, JasonBourne-esque heroine suffering amnesia following a car crash that was no accident.

Having uncovered an illegal adoption scam selling Syrian refugee babies from the Italian island of Sicily to wealthy American families in Florida, the undercover customs agent finds herself the target of organized crime as the suspense thriller unfolds. While the story is a work of fiction, it draws its themes from the real world issue of child laundering, Schofield said. This is Schofield’s fifth published book, each of which contains strong female protagonists, which he admits can be difficult to write. That is why his characters all draw inspiration from personal stories his female friends have shared with him, adding depth to the characters. “Sometimes it’s a female experience that men don’t experience at all, for example pregnancy. At the emotional level the descriptions that they provide me are vivid and it really helps. It helps create a female heroine,” Schofield said. Schofield was raised and

educated in B.C. and has worked as a trial lawyer in Canada, Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. He worked as a prosecutor in Kamloops between 1975 and 1985 before travelling to Bermuda where he did the same job for five years. He then returned to B.C., landing on Vancouver Island where he worked as Crown counsel again before heading south once more to the Cayman Islands where he became assistant solicitorgeneral. Schofield said he’s always wanted to be a writer, noting it took eight years to get the first book he wrote published in 2010. “As the joke goes, if you’re a lawyer filing legal documents with the court then you’re already a fiction writer,” he said with a laugh. Last fall Schofield decided to retire in Nova Scotia and devote himself full time to his writing. Killing Pace is the first in a planned Laura Pace series.

Husband and wife duo will play The Art We Are this weekend MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ only locally owned grower serving locally grown produce.

fateful night at an open mic in Victoria brought Adam and Andrea Zonnis together to make beautiful music. “We tell original stories and write original songs about the places we go and the people we meet, the things we do and the ideas we have,” Adam Zonnis told KTW. The husband and wife are bringing their cabaret folk duet, which bears their last name, to The Art We Are in downtown Kamloops this Saturday. “Our music is a variety show that blends together folk, blues, rock and roll, musical comedy — it’s really upbeat and fun and we really like to get the audience involved as well,” said Andrea. Both sing and Adam also plays guitar. With the 10 year anniversary of their meeting coming up in December, Andrea recalled Adam playing at the open mic

night she hosted back in 2008. “He came to a party that I had about a week later, and, well the rest is history,” she said. Growing up in the Okanagan, the couple’s parents knew each other, but Adam and Andrea didn’t cross paths until that night years later. They now call Victoria home for about half the year in the spring and fall. They spend their summers travelling in an RV, bringing their show to different pubs, coffee shops, art centres and music festivals around Western Canada and the West Coast of the U.S., with their four-year-old son in tow. In the winters, they bring their musical talents to South America. “Last year was Guatemala, the year before was Ecuador and this coming year I think we’re going to go back to Ecuador,” Adam said. The couple first took the stage together in 2009 and married

in 2010, but didn’t begin their touring duet until 2014, after the birth of their son. “I swear this kid has been on more playgrounds in four years than most kids get to see in their entire lives,” Adam said. When they’re not playing one of their 70 shows per year, Adam works in gardening and web design, while Andrea is an accomplished psychic. Both have been playing music their whole lives, with Andrea having played in a few bands as a youth after learning to play guitar. Adam is mostly self-taught, with his vocal talents inspired by Bob Dylan. “We combine really well to get a nice, unique sound,” Adam said. Zonnis will be playing at The Art We Are, 246 Victoria St., at 7 p.m. on Saturday. Tickets for the show are $7. The couple also has a new album Rise of the Sheep coming out in September, copies of which will be available for early purchase at Saturday’s show.

t’s no secret that U.S. politics have become vicious. The American media and political parties have become enemies under Donald Trump, with constant claims of false information being spread and the freedom of the press under attack. The Fairness Doctrine, implemented by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 1949, enforced the importance of broadcasters to present issues of public importance in a fair and balanced manner, mandating that all broadcasters must devote air time to matters of public interest and to air contrasting views. This law was repealed in 1987 by then-President Ronald Reagan. Since then, the rise of bias in American media has been dramatic, especially in the rise of Fox News, which launched in 1996. Fox News has become a source of far-right-wing news and opinion so much so that news and opinion that does not conform with their politics have not only been denied broadcast, but ridiculed on their network. Fox News also often acts as a partisan voice for the current American government and attacks other media outlets. In Canada, our broadcasting laws forbid biased news and opinion. The laws, while broad,

RADIO EDIT

have been enacted in the past on broadcasters failing to provide adequate balance in news reporting. Sun TV, a Canadian cable network with reporting similar to Fox News, attempted to get into the news business but didn’t get past airing on cable. Some believe this is due in part to their inability to meet the Canadian standards on biased and balanced reporting. Sun TV shut down in 2015. That hasn’t stopped biased reporting from getting across the border, though. Satellite and cable networks carry American media into Canada. While some newscasts are better than others, the fact there are no laws in place to protect balance in news means we must take their broadcasts with

a grain of salt, regardless of the source. Add into that the money that comes with TV broadcasting, then even when a journalistic source is respected, the lure of sensationalistic news reporting will always colour the news with doubt. Journalists have a code of ethics regarding fairness in reporting, but a code of ethics can only go so far. Without laws that can be enforced to defend freedom of the press and the balanced reporting needed for the news consumers to make up their minds on important issues, journalists and the networks that employ them may end up chasing the financial success that comes with controversy, rather than chasing the facts. In many ways, protecting balance in news reporting is the backbone of democracy in our society. Without the journalistic discipline and laws, then the truth of the news will always be in doubt. It is the responsibility of journalists to give you the information you need to make up your own mind, not to make up your mind for you.

Arcade Fire, Daniel Caesar and Gord Downie make the Polaris long list DAVID FRIEND

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Rising R&B singer Daniel Caesar’s debut, the latest effort by Arcade Fire, and a posthumous work from Gord Downie are among the long-listed albums for the Polaris Music Prize. The juried award for best Canadian album of the year was narrowed down to 40 contenders who could qualify for the short list revealed next month. Among the projects named is Everything Now, the disco-rock social statement released last year by Arcade Fire, who previously won the Polaris for The Suburbs in 2011. Caesar’s breakout collection of slow jams, Freudian, joins other albums that made an impact, including Downie’s Introduce Yerself, a series of love letters written by the Tragically Hip frontman to his friends shortly before he died of brain cancer. Several indie darlings also made the long list, among them Toronto dream pop band Alvvays with Antisocialites, as well as Bahamas for the album Earthtones’ and Charlotte Day Wilson with Stone Woman. The Polaris jury also selected a number of concept albums from Indigenous artists. Jeremy Dutcher’s Wolastoqiyik Lintuwakonawa melds the operatic tenor’s voice with century-old recordings of people speaking the Wolastoq language, while The Average Savage’ from hip-hop duo Snotty Nose Rez Kids is a staunch rejection of racism and stereotypes levelled against residential communities. Other highlights include Both Ways from Sarnia, Ont.-raised country performer Donovan Woods, Lil Mont from The Ave by Toronto rapper Clairmont The Second and New Mistakes from Hamilton singer-songwriter Terra Lightfoot. The Polaris Music Prize is awarded to the artist or group that created the best Canadian album of the previous

year — irrespective of genre or sales — as chosen by a large team of

journalists, broadcasters and bloggers. The long list was selected

from 225 albums that made the first ballots. A short list of con-

tenders will be revealed on July 17. The Polaris winner

will be awarded $50,000 on Sept. 17 at a gala presentation held at

Toronto’s Carlu, which will be webcast by CBC Music.

FAITH

ST. THOMAS OF INDIA AND THE CHRISTIANS

I

f someone were to ask you to name the three top religions of India, you would probably guess Hinduism, Islam and perhaps Sikhism or Buddhism. You’d be right about the first two, but Christianity is the thirdlargest religion in India, representing about 2.3 per cent of the population. With India’s population at about 1.343 billion, that’s almost 31-million followers of Christ. Canada by contrast has fewer than 25-million Christians. In actual numbers, therefore, India is a more Christian country than Canada. Christian communities are found everywhere in India, but they form a majority in three Indian states in the northeast (Meghalaya, Mizoram and Nagaland). Interestingly, Nagaland has a higher percentage of Baptists in its population (75 per cent) than does

FAITH

Mississippi (55 per cent), which has the highest proportion of Baptists in the United States. In Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, also in the northeast, Christians aren’t in the majority, but are more numerous than any other faith other than hinduism and Islam. Large Christian populations also reside in Tamil Nadu and Kerala in the far south. The state of Kerala on India’s southwest coast is where oral tradition states St. Thomas, the apostle of Jesus who doubted his resurrection, founded seven churches on a

missionary journey to the area in A.D. 52. Thomas happened to be absent when Jesus appeared alive to his gathered disciples after his resurrection from the dead. Thomas, when told by others of this miraculous occurrence, gained notoriety in the scriptures by stating, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.” The Gospel of John records that Jesus appeared again a week later and Thomas was there. Jesus said to him, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.” This is where the expression “doubting Thomas” originates. Clearly, this experience made a huge impression on Thomas, although the Bible says nothing more about him after this incident. But it seems likely Thomas became

iar with these prophecies. The Kerala Christians have been called Mar Thoma Nasrani. Nasrani is term derived from Hebrew word for “branch.” The term is from Isaiah 11:1: “A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.” The term came to be applied generally to the Christians of southern India, particularly those practising the Syriac traditions. Syriac Christians follow the liturgies of the Church of the East, originally based in Antioch, Syria. They use the Peshitta version of the Bible, which is written in Aramaic, the language Jesus spoke. When the Portuguese under

Vasco da Gama arrived in southern Indian in 1498, they were surprised to find wellestablished Christian communities there. But they acted as European Catholics tended to act in those days and insisted the local Christians submit to the rule of the Roman pope. Some did, but it led to a schism between the believers of Kerala, which still exists — some groups are aligned with the Roman Catholic Church, while others maintain their allegiance to the Syriac Church of the East. When Jesus suggested he and the disciples return to Jerusalem despite knowing the Jewish authorities would try to kill him, it was Thomas who prophetically said, “Let us

also go, that we may die with him.” Clearly, he was a man of courage. Oral tradition says that after 20 years of missionary activity, he was martyred in Chennai (in today’s Tamil Nadu province) in A.D. 72. But it is due to Thomas’ faithful obedience, and those who followed his example, to go into all the world and preach the gospel that there are so many Christians in India to this day.

extremely motivated to spread the gospel message. Tradition states that Jesus’ disciples drew lots to see where their missionary endeavours should occur and Thomas drew India. There are thousands of “St. Thomas” Christians in India, especially in Kerala, who trace the origins of their churches to him. If Thomas actually did reach India, Kerala would have been a logical destination. That is because there may have been a Jewish population in the area since the 10th century B.C. Originally, they would have been sailors and traders from the time of King Solomon, seeking spices and other exotic goods for the fabulous wealthy Jewish king. The community was known as Cochin Jews or Malabari Jews and there are still some living in Kerala to this day (although the majority have emigrated to Israel). Thomas’ message of a risen Messiah, as predicted by the Hebrew scriptures, may have found a receptive audience among the Jews of southern India, who would have been famil-

t helps having an ex-brother-in-law and partner who are tour guides — especially when we visit Saint John, N.B., where they live. We discover the city’s roots go back to 1783 and was founded by loyalists who fled the American War of Independence. “But a blazing inferno destroyed more than half of the city in 1877,” Gary says. “When it was re-built, many of the buildings were constructed out of sturdy stone and brick.” Handsome homes link together along the hilly streets, one being their own. Because of its location, on a rocky estuary where the Saint John River meets the Bay of Fundy, it has acquired the moniker, “Fog City.” Once the mist dissipates, it’s easy to see the allure. From my host’s home near Uptown, we have a water view in three directions. “It’s the only city that doesn’t have an actual downtown,” Anne says as we stroll by King’s Square, a manicured park where the gardens

and central bandstand resemble the Union Jack. A short stroll away is his mate, Queen’s Square, where French explorer Samuel Champlain takes mid-stage. It’s so easy to get around on foot we rarely need the car. Over the next hour, we see truth to this fact. We stroll by the century-old Imperial Theatre that in 1913 operated as a vaudeville house. We check out Saint John City Market that’s bursting with fresh produce and then make our way past intriguing museums and down to the waterfront with dining options like Saint John Ale House, serving up East Coast favourites. “Did you know that this city is known for Moosehead beer?” Gary asks as we pass by a life-size statue of one of these four-legged animals. “Because of this sculpture, the city will never run out.” We discover that, when the artist created this focal point, he placed a can of the local brewski in the hollow of his belly. Fact or fiction? It’s hard to tell from our story-telling tour guide. For the past 30 years, a brightly painted clock tower has also adorned this market square.

“There are no hands or traditional face on this timepiece,” Anne says. “Instead, the snake’s tail marks the time.” Below this serpent-like creature are three carved life-size figures who are chilling out on a bench. Now, feeling in sync with this city’s pulse, I realize the icon holds more symbolism than just telling time. Saint John has that laid-backkind of feel. There’s no real rush hour, road rage or bustle. For most, Sunday still means a day of rest. But for those who want more activity, there is plenty of action. At Rockwood Park, boasting more than 890 hectares, you can swing a golf club, rent a canoe or hike on dozens of trails. Make sure to re-fuel afterward at Lily’s, a

lovely lakeside diner that dishes up yummy cuisine. Irving Park is another magnet for the active crowd. The 243-hectare peninsula that juts out into the Bay of Fundy is scored with numerous pathways and is home to 250 species of migratory and marine birds. Mud flats, salt marshes, volcanic and sandy beaches are other fascinating features we discover when exploring this conservation wonderland. Our final attraction of the day is a return visit to the Reversing Falls Rapids, a phenomenon that occurs on the Saint John River with tidal changes. We had come earlier, at low tide when the sea level was a lot lower than the river and the flow was

pouring into the bay. There had been a little wave action, but nothing to write home about. “The level of the bay has risen more than four metres above the river,” Gary says, “and the flow is now reversed,” From the protected shoreline, we gaze out at the waterway, where Mother Nature is in full work mode. The river has done an about-face and her previous calm has turned chaotic. Swirling waves roll into raging froth and misty plumes erupt from white water.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Georgia Miller, a Grade 11 student at Valleyview secondary, wants to play golf on a full-ride scholarship down south after high school. She placed second in the B.C. Golf Zone 2 Junior Tour Order of Merit standings.

GEORGIA HAS SCHOLARSHIP ON HER MIND

MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

E

mma Sabbagh, one year older than Georgia Miller, will graduate from Kelowna Christian School and play golf on scholarship next season for the South Dakota Coyotes, an NCAA Division 1 program. Miller, a 17-year-old Grade 11 student at Valleyview secondary, finished three strokes behind Sabbagh at the B.C. Golf Zone 2 Tour Championship at Gallagher’s Canyon Golf and Country Club on the weekend. She would have been within striking distance of Sabbagh if it were not for an unfortunate double-bogey on Hole 17 in the final round on Sunday. The point is Miller is nearly on par with an older female who has already inked

a valuable golf scholarship — and the Kamloops wunderkind aims to soon snare one of her own. “That’s the plan,” said Miller, who was on her way to practise at Predator Ridge in Vernon when she spoke to KTW on Wednesday. “I want to go to Arizona State for a full ride or anywhere that would give me a full ride. “I chose golf over wrestling this year to focus more on it.” Golf and wrestling are not similar, but they share at least one thing in common: Miller is really good at both of them. She placed second in her weight class at the provincial high school wrestling championships earlier this year, but declined to go to nationals to mitigate risk of injury ahead of golf season. At least three U Sports schools wanted Miller to grapple in their tights — Simon Fraser University, the University of

Saskatchewan and the University of Manitoba. “Golf is less stressful,” Miller said. “You can be yourself and have fun. I like to dress up in my golfwear and have fun meeting other people. “It’s the smart way because in golf you can get a full ride. For girls’ wrestling, you can’t.” Miller, a member at Predator and Rivershore Golf Links, shot 84 on Saturday and 85 on Sunday at the Zone 2 championship. Greens were lightning fast, said Miller, with Gallagher’s staff preparing the course for a Mackenzie Tour event this weekend. “And it was pretty slow out there,” Miller said. “There were a lot of kids trying out for provincials. “I thought I played really good, but my course management could have been a lot better. Sometimes you lose focus when you have to wait.”

Miller’s best score on tour this season was 77 on The Bear Course at Okanagan Golf Club in Kelowna on April 28. She finished second overall in the Order of Merit standings, trailing only Sabbagh. Both golfers qualified to represent Zone 2 at the provincial junior golf championship, scheduled to run from July 3 to July 6 at Kimberley Golf Club. The B.C. championship is one of about 14 tournaments that remain on Miller’s summer slate, including three south of the border, one each in Oregon, Idaho and California. Showcasing her game in the U.S. may help her ink a letter of intent with an NCAA school. “The first plan is to go to the LPGA after university golf if I’m good enough,” Miller said. “If I stop doing that, being a golf coach is my second idea. “I want to help people when I get older.”

Olympic gold medallist Kelsey Serwa of Kelowna will be the keynote speaker at the annual Thompson Rivers University WolfPack scholarship breakfast on Sept. 27 in the TRU Grand Hall. Serwa won gold in ski cross at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in South Korea and claimed silver in the same discipline at the 2014 Olympics in Russia. She earned X Games gold in 2016. Serwa, who has trained at Sun Peaks Resort, has fought through many injuries in her career.

Only a few remain in the hunt for the Kamloops Blazers’ head coaching position. “I think we’re getting close,” Blazers’ general manager Matt Bardsley said. “We’re still talking to a few guys. It’s been a lot of people to go through and communicate with. That’s a credit to the organization, the city and the people. It’s a destination of choice.” Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi, president Don Moores and Bardsley were in Vancouver for WHL meetings this week, an ideal time to discuss the search for a new bench boss. Bardsley has been uniform in describing to media outlets what he is looking for in the hiring process. He wants an adept communicator who understands today’s junior hockey player and has emphasized how much value he places on skill development. “We’ve kind of got the search narrowed down,” Bardsley said. “We haven’t made any decisions. You want to get the right one.” Gaglardi announced last

Pendrel staying strong after bad break MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Keith Wilson had a front-row seat for an accident he didn’t want to see, riding behind wife and Olympic bronze medallist Catharine Pendrel on Harper Mountain on June 2. Pendrel, three races into the cross-country mountain biking World Cup season and ranked 14th in the world in her discipline, lost control, fell and landed on a rock. She broke her left humerus (the long bone between the shoulder and elbow), an injury suffered on what was meant to be a fairly casual ride with friends, and may not be cleared to ride competitively until the end of August. Pendrel expects to miss World Cup events in Italy and Andorra and there are doubts as to whether she will be ready to race in Mont-Saint-Anne, Que., and La Bresse, France, the final two stops on the circuit. “Having an injury is always ups and downs,” said Pendrel, who won bronze at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio. “Sometimes it does seem there are more downs than ups. It’s hard, for sure, but you have to keep focused on what you can control.” The timing is horrendous. Pendrel entered the season aiming to rebound from a down 2017, a campaign in which she struggled to reach top gear. The 37-year-old Kamloops resident kicked the Olympic-year hangover and started strong on the World Cup circuit in 2018, placing seventh in Stellenbosch, South Africa, in March. She placed 17th at the second World Cup in Albstadt, Germany, never quite recovering from an early fall that happened when she was riding in seventh place.

KEVIN LIGHT PHOTO Husband Keith Wilson (right) is among those helping to lift Catharine Pendrel’s spirits. She broke her arm in a crash that has fractured her World Cup mountain biking season. Rehab is already underway, but she may not be back on a bike until July and might not compete again until August or later, if at all.

Conditions were treacherous that day. At the end of the race, her bike weighed six pounds of mud more than it did at the start. Pendrel was derailed by a flat tire at World Cup No. 3 in Nova Mesto Na Morave, Czech Republic, on May 27. She placed 24th. Results at stops two and three were forgettable, but Pendrel was 15th overall in World Cup standings with four races to go and within striking distance of the leaders. She had about a month to recharge before heading to Italy for stop No. 4, scheduled to run from July 6 to July 8 in Val Di Sole. There was a race held at Harper on June 3. Pendrel opted out to mitigate risk of injury, but decided

to ride with friends the day before. Five days later, she was on a stationary bike in her basement wearing a jimmy-rigged sling, explaining to fans in a Facebook video that her season goals have changed. “This year, it started out pretty well,” Pendrel told KTW. “I also had some things go wrong in the races. I was a little bit frustrated, but feeling super motivated to come back here and turn the season around. This is an unfortunate stall to that motivation.” Hundreds have expressed support for Pendrel through social media and she is helping others in her position, conversing with them about fighting through injury and sharing training techniques.

Contest Rules & Regulations

Perhaps she will recover in time to race again this season on the World Cup circuit. Maybe Pendrel will return with heroics at the world championship on Sept. 8 in Lenzerheide, Switzerland. But she won’t be forcing anything. “You have to balance expectations a little bit,” Pendrel said. “It would be amazing to have this great comeback, but every injury is just different. “The one thing you can’t do is come back before you’re ready.” There isn’t much funny about a broken humerus for a pro mountain biker, but Pendrel’s spirit is still intact. “My husband is like, ‘When is the last time you took a summer

vacation?’” she said with a laugh. “Being forced to take a break, maybe it’s a good thing in the long run. “As athletes, we’re not always good at taking a step back. Sometimes the answer is taking a breather.” AWARD TOUR The Canadian Cross Country Mountain Biking Championships will be held in Canmore, Alta., on July 21. Pendrel can’t race, but will hand out the first annual Catharine Pendrel Scholarship at the event. “We’re going to give $1,000 to a junior racer,” she said. “It’s based on values of true sport and fair play, as well as performance.”

Dewar: Storm to play in Kamloops next season MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Storm owner Barry Dewar wants to set the record straight. Contrary to rumours, he has not sold his team and it will play each of its allotted home games in Kamloops during the 2018-2019 Kootenay International Junior Hockey League season. The Storm played six of their home games in Quesnel last season. “People don’t listen,” said Dewar, 64. “They want to speculate. Do I have guys from Quesnel and other locations wanting to buy my team? Yes. If the deal is right, I can’t say no. But I have no intention today of moving the team and I am the majority owner. “I don’t have anyone standing there with their cheque book today that is going to pay me enough money to move the team out of Kamloops. Not this year. We’re playing all our games here.” Dewar is finding advertisers are lukewarm on partnering with the Storm and in part blames speculation that an out-of-town move is imminent. “If you ask me, would my team ever move to one of those locations? I can’t answer that,” Dewar said. “When I sell it, if somebody sits back and says, you know what, Williams Lake makes sense. Quesnel makes sense. Prince George A C C T

maybe makes sense. Logan Lake maybe makes sense … but I have no intention of moving anywhere.” Kamloops Minor Hockey Association president Jon Pankuch told KTW in September the association is interested in buying the Storm. “Jon Pankuch had a plan,” Dewar said. “It didn’t work for Barry Dewar. It was like, ‘I get control, but I’ll pay you later.’ If I’m going sell my franchise, I want to be adequately compensated for what I do. “I’m sure if you ask him, he would say it’s a better plan for me because it would give me more money over the long run. I don’t see that as a realistic opportunity for me.” Pankuch said no formal offers were made and no purchase price was discussed. He maintains acquiring the junior B team could be a smart idea for the KMHA, but it’s one on the backburner. In September, Dewar said he would rather

sell the Storm to a person or group interested in and capable of keeping the team in Kamloops. He is proud of what he’s built over the last 13 years, both on the ice and with the 20-or-so non-profit groups that benefit from team fundraisers. The KMHA did not meet his requirements. “As GM of a team for 17 years, there are times when I have to make a decision on the go,” Dewar said. “Minor hockey works on the basis that committees, people, more than one guy, have to decide that you’re going to pee on Wednesday. Some of those timelines are not realistic. I just don’t see it ever working with minor hockey.” Pankuch said a junior B squad would be a good steppingstone program for the KMHA and it could be viable. Dewar had one more KMHA-related topic to cover and included the City of Kamloops in his musings. “The city and Kamloops minor hockey do not give me very many Friday nights,” Dewar said. “Kamloops minor hockey will not give me ice on a Friday when they have a tournament. We are the Tournament Capital of Canada. “Friday is the No. 1 night for making money. Saturday is OK. Sunday is an absolute dud. “If I did sell the team and a partner came in and they wanted to go to Williams Lake or Quesnel or Tuktoyaktuk and can have every Friday night in the

book, they will make more money than I could. The fact of the world is money makes the world go round.” Pankuch said the KMHA works with other user groups, including the Storm, but it is his job to make the association his No. 1 priority. “Holding 25-plus tournaments a year is part of our legacy,” Pankuch said. “We need ice to do that. We’ve given up ice to help Barry. He’s done the same with us.” Dewar said the KIJHL is a bit dysfunctional, but maintains hope that dysfunction will be remedied in the next few years and league decision-makers will agree with him that Quesnel and Williams Lake deserve franchises. “But I believe Kamloops has a place, as well,” he said. “Tracey Mero has been turned down on more than one occasion to either buy my team or apply for a team to go to Quesnel. He’s been turned down on three occasions. Will it ever happen? I don’t know. My crystal ball is broke. But I don’t see it happening. They don’t want to go to Quesnel with the Kamloops Storm. Will they give him a new franchise in a year or two? Who knows.” Dewar had more to say, but consistently meandered back to point No. 1: Fans and advertisers need to know the Storm will remain in Kamloops for the 2018-2019 season. “And I hope for the foreseeable future,” he said. “I am totally committed to staying in Kamloops at this time.” SHOWCASE SHOWDOWNS Dewar said the Storm will play host to a college showcase tournament at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre and Memorial Arena from Dec. 27 to Dec. 29. The KIJHL’s 20 teams will be in town to play two games each, both of which will count in the league standings.

1934 - 2018

Your Loving Family Phyllis, Randy, Nikki, Rhonda, Jason and Grandchildren.

On June 12, 2018, Bertha Ellen Fawcett passed away in the early morning with loving family around her.

With much sadness we announce the death of Jan on June 6, 2018 at the age of 84 years in Victoria on Vancouver Island. This was a merciful release from constant pain.

October 17, 1945 – June 15, 2017

If tears could build a stairway And memories were a lane We would walk right up to Heaven And bring you back again No farewell words were spoken No time to say goodbye You were gone before we knew it And only God knows why Our hearts still ache in sadness And secret tears still flow What it meant to lose you No one can ever know But now we know you want us To mourn for you no more To remember all the happy times Life still had much in store Since you’ll never be forgotten We pledge to you today A hallowed place within our hearts Is where you’ll always stay

But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Obituaries & In Memoriam Nick Danshin

In Loving Memory of Leanna Catherine Cassidy

February 10, 1921 – June 5, 2018 It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our dearly loved Nick. He leaves behind his loving wife of 69 years Florence (Flo), daughters Moe (Wayne), Kathleen (Gary), grandchildren Paul (Teri), Kim (Dan), Kyle (Natalie), Tyler (Amanda), great-grandchildren Nicholas, Leah (Steve), Harrison, Eric, Kaycee, Tyson and Emma, as well as many other close relatives and friends.

(nee: McKay)

November 1, 1955 - June 18, 1996

Ask DRAKE

Nick was born and raised in Grand Forks, BC. He left Grand Forks in his early 20s for the West Coast of BC to work in the logging industry while, at the same time, acquiring a trade as a sheet metal worker. It was during this time that he met Flo, who would be his forever soulmate for the next 69 years. They married in November of 1948 and moved to Ocean Falls, BC, where Nick worked as both a sheet metal worker and a welder for the next 38 years, while raising his family and spending many enjoyable years with them boating along the coast.

A Daughter A Wife A Mom

Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Can part of Murray go back to Scotland? A. Some countries are more open to this than others. It’s best to check with the consulate if you’re not sure. I’ve heard from many people who have taken an urn or a keepsake to another country without incident. But I’d check to make sure.

Upon retirement, Nick and Flo moved to Hagensborg (Bella Coola area), where they spent an enjoyable 7 years making many close friends. It was here, at 65 years old, that Nick learned to cross country ski and horseback ride, becoming a horse owner for the first time. They moved to Pritchard, BC for a short time, then to Rose Lake, outside Williams Lake, BC for the next 22 years, before moving into care in Kamloops, BC.

A Best Friend An Angel

During their years at Rose Lake, Nick, with the encouragement of a dear friend, became an enthusiastic kayaker, touring the Bowron Lakes in his early 80s. Poor health robbed Nick of his quality of life for the past 3-4 years and as was his style, he quietly passed away on the evening of June 5, 2018. Nick will always be fondly remembered for his practical ways, his humble, quiet, caring nature and of course, that shy, gentle smile.

Remembered for how you lived your life and touched the lives of those around you, You will live in our hearts and souls forever.

He was an outstanding husband, father, grandfather and a kind, generous, hospitable friend and neighbour and to all others who graced his home. He is too dearly loved to be forgotten, and will be greatly missed. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Love Mel, Shane and Adam

We are very sad to announce the passing of our Dad, John Skelly. He died peacefully on June 8, 2018 at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice at the age of 89.

John loved to fly and earned his private pilots licence at a young age. One of his great pleasures was taking family and friends up in the air and flying to the Abbotsford Airshow for the day. Another one of John’s passions was boating on Shuswap Lake and showing his family the joys of life on the Shuswap.

December 21, 1928 – June 8, 2018

He is predeceased by parents Jim and Eva, brothers Frank and Pat, sister Irene Wilson, daughter Marilynne and wives Jeanne and Ann. He is survived by his children Jim (Lynn), Matt (Alison Slater) and Nevada (Jack Mendes) along with his grandchildren Christina, Jennifer, Julieanne, James, Brandyn, Taylor, Kianna, step-grandchildren Christopher Mendes and Alexander Mendes and great-grandsons Morgan, Ryker and Jackson. John was born in Calgary, AB on December 21, 1928. John moved with his parents Jim and Eva to Kamloops in 1939, on a parcel of property known as Jimeva Farms, now called Orchards Walk. John attended Kamloops High and spent a few years in the family business of farming with the Skelly Tomato Cannery before embarking in 1952 on a long radio broadcasting career. Ownership and management positions in radio stations took John and his family to Edmonton, Peace River, Fort St. John and Kamloops.

The family would like to thank the health care professionals at RIH for their care of Dad and Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for their exceptional care and emotional support during our Dad’s last days. Donations in John’s memory can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice or to Diabetes Canada.

The Angel on Your Shoulder

BY JACKIE HUSTON LENA, WISCONSIN

There’s an angel on your shoulder

Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care.

There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow

Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul.

She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride,

John was the founder of Radio NL and served as President and GM from 1970 to 1982.

And now, the end is near and so I face the final curtain My friend, I’ll say it clear, I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain I’ve lived a life that’s full, I traveled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way...

John had his own radio show called Sunday Showcase which allowed him to indulge in his love of jazz, swing and big band music and play homage to his god, Frank Sinatra.

A Celebration of John’s Life will be held on Friday, June 22, 2018 at 2:00 pm at The Coast Hotel & Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way, Kamloops, BC.

In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials

Before retirement in the late 90s, John spent 8 years in real estate sales and served as an Alderman on the Kamloops City Council from 1984 to 1988. While on council, John was very proud to

Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears,

Standing faithfully by your side.

In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right.

And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you,

There are no heights you cannot reach

‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.
