SD73 accepts task force suggestions DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
for work-related injuries caused by heat exhaustion and heat stroke. The occupations with the highest number of heat stress-related claims last year included landscape and horticulture workers, welders and metal fabricators, longshore, logging and forestry workers and construction workers. “People who work outdoors face many risks when the weather gets hot,” said Dan Strand of WorkSafeBC.
The Kamloops-Thompson school district will follow through on recommendations that came from an investigation into parental complaints about sexual misconduct in schools — but it likely won’t begin until the fall and is expected to take a year to implement. When that happens, trustee Gerald Watson is hoping to see a clearer definition of sexual misconduct, saying “the devil is in the details.” At its meeting on Monday night, the KamloopsThompson board of education accepted the 12-page report from a task force that was created after parents of two students accused the district of failing to protect their children from sexual harassment and intimidation. Watson, a lawyer, said the definition created by the task force includes among its examples behaviours that could also be consensual. For example, Watson cited kissing between two consensual teens could be seen as misconduct according to the definition. Task force chair Michelle Marginet, a former health and safety manager for the school district, said the group struggled with the definition, changing it during each of its four meetings. She emphasized it is a working definition the task force chose and it is up to the district to refine a definition. Task force member and trustee Joan Cowden confirmed the challenge the members faced during what she called very long and overwhelming meetings.

It has become so hot that Environment Canada has issued a weather warning, which it does when forecast temperatures are 35 C or above for two or more days. In Kamloops, the high Monday was 35.6 C and the mercury was expected to peak at 36 C on Tuesday, which would have nudged the record 37 C that baked the city on June 19, 1982. The forecast high on Wednesday is 34 C. June is normally a cool and wet month,
with the current temperatures above the monthly average high of 25 C. While last June was bone-dry — 3.4 millimetres, heralding the worst wildfire season on record — this June has seen more rainfall, about 20 millimetres. With the scorching heat upon us, WorkSafeBC is alerting employers and outdoor workers of the risk of developing symptoms of heat stress. Left untreated, heat stress can lead to injuries from heat exhaustion and heat stroke. In 2017, there were 30 accepted claims

“Employers are required to know if their workers are at risk and need to perform a heat-stress assessment and implement a mitigation plan,” Strand said. Heat stress occurs when your internal temperature increases faster than the body can cool itself. Symptoms of heat exhaustion include excess sweating, dizziness, fainting and muscle cramps. Symptoms of heat stroke include cessation of sweating, an increased breathing rate, confusion, seizures and even cardiac arrest. Prevention of heat stress for employers: • Monitor heat conditions and require workers not to work alone; • Ensure there is adequate first-aid coverage and that emergency procedures are in place; • Make physical modifications to facilities, equipment and processes to reduce exposure; • Change work practices and policies to limit the risk; • Determine appropriate work-rest cycles. When a worker feels ill, it may be too late; • Rotate work activities or use additional workers to reduce exposure; • Establish cooling areas with shade and water. Prevention of heat stress for workers: • Drink plenty of water (one glass every 20 minutes); • Wear light-coloured, loose-fitting clothing made of breathable fabric, such as cotton; • Take rest breaks in a cool, well-ventilated area; • Do hard physical work during the coolest parts of the day, before 11 a.m. and after 3 p.m.; • Know your personal risk factors, such as medications and any pre-existing conditions; • Check the signs and symptoms for yourself and co-workers.

A count in March has revealed there are at least 190 homeless people in Kamloops. The City of Kamloops, in association with non-profit organizations, businesses and individuals, conducted its first ever National Point-in-Time Homeless Count, a co-ordinated effort to measure homelessness across Canada. “A lot of folks just cannot afford housing,” City of Kamloops acting social and community development supervisor Natalie Serl said. The count was conducted over a 24-hour period that began in the evening of March 27 with a survey of those staying in emergency shelters, followed by a street count during the day on March 28. During the street count, drop-in centres were opened to provide people with an opportunity to socialize over a warm meal, pick up some essential items take part in the survey. Serl said the results of the count indi-
cate 190 homeless people in Kamloops during the 24-hour point-in-time snapshot: 114 were identified as being homeless during the street count, 66 completed the survey in the emergency shelter and 10 were identified as dependents (up to age 14) who did not complete the survey, but were counted alongside their caregivers. Serl said a total of 180 homeless individuals were surveyed, which indicates a minimum number of people experiencing homelessness in Kamloops. While four people reportedly came to Kamloops during the wildfires and 11 people were reportedly given a bus ticket to come to the city, Serl said the numbers may not reflect the entire picture. “We do rely on people needing to be open about what has happened to them and why they have become homeless,” Serl said. Serl said the information will become clearer in two years when the same questions are asked. This year’s count will act as baseline data in Kamloops and across the country, with past counts asking different questions
and conducted at different times. “This data informs conversation we have with council, BC Housing,” Serl said. A youth-specific homelessness count was conducted by A Way Home Kamloops in May to identify youth experiencing hidden homelessness. The youth count took place over a longer period of time than the national point-in-time count and identified youth who have experienced homelessness as well as those who are currently experiencing homelessness. A Way Home Kamloops will be releasing its data soon, with the number of youth homeless expected to be more than 100. Previous Kamloops homeless counts were historically conducted in the fall, with the most recent count in October 2016 at 100. The city did not conduct a count in 2017 in order to align with the March 2018 national survey. The full Everyone Counts: 2018 Point-in-Time Count report is available on the city’s website at kamloops.ca/pitcount.

Police acted on threat JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops RCMP could not identify the source of what it is calling an “unsubstantiated threat” last week that circulated via social media and text messages. Extra patrols were conducted downtown over the weekend after information spread regarding a supposed “mass shooting” planned for downtown. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a threat via Snapchat was reported to police on Friday night. “We investigated the origin of the threat as far as we could,” she said. “We made extra patrols in the downtown area, as we would for any threat. We take all threats seriously.” Police aren’t saying what the threat was because “we’ve learned through the school system that people like to do copycats,” Shelkie said. Text messages viewed by KTW warned of avoiding the city’s downtown core “for your own safety there will be a mass shooting.” The threat did not come to fruition, but the scare came days after a shooting in Sahali. Shelkie said anyone who receives such a threat should immediately contact Kamloops RCMP — with all information, including screenshots if the threat was sent electronically — at 250-828-3000.

implementation; • Review response protocols to ensure that all district staff working with children know how to receive complaints in a way that respects the rights and needs of those known to be impacted. The report notes focus groups identified factors that contributed to students feeling unsafe and that some who experienced sexual misconduct did not know how to report it or get help. The task force said the district needs to address its policies and protocols “to demonstrate a more significant understanding of the issues and incorporate language and measures that better reflect the nature of the issue.” In February, SD73 Supt. Alison Sidow said the reports of “violence against girls has shaken the district and our community.
These reports have raised many questions about the prevalence of violence against women and girls in our community and the district’s ability to manage these behaviours when they emerge in our schools … “As evidenced by these recent concerns [raised by the parents], it is clear that we must do more as a school system.” One of the parents who lodged a complaint, alleging her elementary-aged daughter was assaulted by male students, claimed administration at her daughter’s school failed to call police or the Ministry of Family and Child Development when informed of the incident. The parent also alleged a critical incident report was not filed. Among the policies reviewed were those addressing violencethreat risk assess-
ment, student code of conduct, student discipline, anti-discrimination and human rights, two policies on bullying, cyberbullying, intimidation, harassment and discrimination — one universal and one employee-specific — and violencefree environment. The report notes district policies do not specifically define or reference sexual misconduct. The review also showed students — particularly those who are marginalized or feel vulnerable — sometimes do not feel safe and may have been victims of harassment, intimidation, bullying or violence, but did not know what to do about it. Task force members included several employees of SD73, including Sidow, Marginet (she retired earlier this year and chaired the group),
director of student support services Trish Smillie, Aboriginal education worker Vicki Hanson, Sa-Hali secondary principal Sean Lamoureux and school and family consultant Tom Beveridge. Other members included Cowden, Laurel Macpherson of the KamloopsThompson Teachers’ Association, parent and social worker Dionne Mohammed of White Buffalo Aboriginal and Métis Health Society, Jacqueline Judd of the Ministry of Children and Family Development, Barbara Gladdish of the Kamloops Sexual Assault and Counselling Centre and RCMP officers Cpl. Darren Angman and Const. Sophie Winkels. The group met with teachers, principals, students, parents and members of the Aboriginal education council in its work.

SD73 will axe the slash in favour of the dash
Ju ly 15 t h ,2 01 8
It’s perhaps ironic the school district has, since its creation in 1996, carried a grammatically incorrect name. Trustees have approved changing the name of the district to KamloopsThompson from Kamloops/Thompson. Yes, there is a difference between a slash and a dash. District secretary-treasurer Kelvin Stretch said a slash indicates a choice, an either-or indicator. A dash or hyphen indicates the words before and after it are joined. Stretch told trustees other school districts with two location indicators in their names use dashes. The board must now undertake a public consultation before it can change the slash to the dash — a decision made while many in the board room on Monday tried to not snicker. The district must advertise its plan and hold a public meeting before it can apply to the Ministry of Education for
the official name change. Stretch said cost will be minimal because administration has been aware of the issue for some time and there’s no requirement to switch from slash to dash except on legal documents. He said the concern was raised when work began on a new SD73 website and intranet that is expected to launch in the fall. New letterhead and other communication methods will be ordered once the name change is completed. Trustee Gerald Watson, acknowledging he was being somewhat facetious, said he is prepared to debate the ministry if posting the board’s intention on its website is considered insufficient public engagement. A spokesman for the ministry told KTW a policy directs districts to consult before a possible name change, noting “the consultation does not have to be extensive since it is a minor change.”

ALL CHILDREN ARE CREATED EQUAL
T
here are many contentious issues this week that are more local in nature, yet the thought of children farther south being taken from their parents and housed in cages renders nearly all local issues insignificant in comparison — at least for the moment. Frankly, if thoughts of young children being forcibly removed from their parents’ custody isn’t enough for supporters of the current U.S. administration to urge their government to reconsider new policies, we have to wonder what it would take. These are presumably the same people who argue in favour of the right to life, of traditional families, of children’s need to have parents involved and accountable. Yet some have developed such an us-and-them mentality that they clearly don’t consider all children to be created equal. Certainly, adult border jumpers — mostly from Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala — need to be punished, they must be thinking, so their accompanying children deserve whatever discomfort, unrest and panic they’re experiencing in government-run facilities right now. This is the rationale that has justified the creation of camps in which to concentrate migrant children, while their accused parents, without papers, await justice in jail. Then again, there is a chance — albeit a small one — that President Donald Trump’s supporters will be a bit more savvy, if not sympathetic. They may wish to ponder the political enemies their government is creating. For each child ripped from family and now fearful behind chain-link, some will, no doubt, learn to forgive. Others, however, will experience years of hatred. That one generation’s anger can multiply for future generations has long been demonstrated, both around the world and within the legal U.S. geopolitical boundaries decided not that long ago. Will that be enough for Trump’s supporters to rethink policies enacted in their name? That they’ve turned even a handful of the nearly 2,000 children seized these past two months into future terrorists? — Peace Arch News

f Environment Canada can be believed, today should be partly sunny, partly cloudy, rainy and hot. Snow isn’t in that mix — but this column is all about an event that happens right around the time that Jolly Old Elf makes his arrival on Victoria Street to kick off the winter season. Today’s paper contains a KTW ad asking for non-profits who are interested to apply for consideration for our annual KTW Christmas Cheer Fund campaign. You’ll find it on the back page of today’s edition. The Cheer campaign has a long history in Kamloops and an even longer one through its origins in Regina. For those new to Kamloops, Gregg Drinnan started the fundraiser in 1992 when he worked at the Regina Leader-Post. It began as a fundraiser for four Regina shelters for women fleeing domestic abuse. When Drinnan moved to the River City to be sports editor at the Kamloops Daily News, he brought the fund with him, raising money to support a variety of non-profits, including the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, the New Life Mission — now known as New Life Community Kamloops — and the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter. Every year, a committee would pick charities to benefit from the fund, with the proviso the shelter always be one of them. When KTW took over the campaign after the daily newspaper closed, we agreed to honour that requirement and the women’s shel-

LEVEL ter will remain a legacy charity. A committee will again this year sift through applications to decide on which other charities will join the fund. There are some requirements. We try to avoid charities that benefit from national funding. They must be registered charities. They have to agree to let us write about why they need the money, what they’ll do with it and, later, what they did with it. We made a significant change to the fund when we assumed ownership. We partnered with the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo. That decision gave us access to its online donation portal and a new way for people to donate. Tax receipts are issued immediately through the United Way for online donations; receipts come after the campaign ends for those who make donations in person. We also rely on the United Way for advice in choosing charities. The first year, Cheer supported the shelter, the mission, the hospice home and the Sensational Soups program run through Mount Paul United Church.
The following year, the committee decided to build in some sustainability. For the past three years, Cheer has helped the shelter, the mission, Family Tree Family Centre, Sensational Soups and the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre. I’ve been involved since KTW took on the fundraiser and it’s been a complete thrill to do it. Just watching how this city rises every year to help others is inspirational. We all look forward to the annual visit from the Mah family We’ve watched that trio of childmusicians — who are truly talented — grow as they not only bring in their donation, money they raise through busking at some events, but brighten our sometimes-tooserious newspaper office with a brief concert There are so many others who bring smiles to all of our faces: the many anonymous donors, the widows and widowers, the businesses, the seniors, the kids, all kinds of Kamloopsians who continue to amaze us with their generosity. So, for you non-profits out there, check out page A39. For the rest of you, there are 188 days until Christmas, when the fund officially ends for this year. A kick-off date hasn’t been decided yet, but we’ll let you know when it is. When you add up all the donations the Cheer fund has received while in Kamloops — at the Daily News and here at KTW — more than $900,000 has been raised for charities that do such good work. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
BCNU IS STANDING UP FOR PATIENT SAFETY provide care in much less than ideal circumstances for many patients. These are not isolated incidents. These are the facts in many health-care facilities every day somewhere in B.C. And the problems are not new. For example, in 2015, WorkSafeBC reported health care as being the single-most dangerous sector in the province for workplace violence, with nurses accounting for 31 percent of all injuries received due to acts of violence. In British Columbia every month, 26 nurses are forced off work because of violence on the job. BCNU launched the It’s #thatbad campaign to raise public awareness of the kinds
of challenges faced by many nurses. We are speaking out because this is a time when we need more, not fewer, nurses. One of the many problems B.C. is facing is recruitment and retention challenges. If more is not done to address these systemic issues, how will we attract more nurses? How will we keep the ones we have? How will British Columbians get the care they need when they need it? Failure to address these concerns puts British Columbians at risk. That is why BCNU will continue to stand up for safe patient care and to advocate for the health and safety of nurses and all health-care workers. Christine Sorensen president, BC Nurses’ Union
EXCITED ABOUT POSSIBILITIES FOR FUTURE OF DOWNTOWN Editor: I would like to thank city staff and their consultants for the two opportunities last week to see and understand the possible development futures for the downtown neighbourhood over the next 10 to 20 years. The big ideas to increase
walkability and enable people to easily and safely move through the heart of the city by changing the streets from being car-friendly to becoming people-friendly are exciting. I love the ideas of the market precinct, the performing-arts centre, the opening of Peterson
Creek Park, laneway development, the different residential options, the mid-block north/ south openings, revitalization of the corner of Columbia Street and Sixth Avenue and so much more. We need more people living downtown and if we can make
it an exciting place to be with development ideas like these, people will want to invest in and live there. I hope the city puts the pictures on its website for all to see. Lois Hollstedt Kamloops
STRAW POLL SAYS . . . LET’S STOP PUTTING THEM INTO RECYCLING Editor: Anybody who puts plastic straws into their recycling bin is contaminating the contents. In Kamloops, they must go into the garbage, which is why I think it is great that some companies will
switch to paper straws. After hearing about a poor animal that had a straw jammed up its nostril, I feel guilty whenever throwing away a straw. Kristin Saunders Kamloops

Editor: Re: Brian Husband’s letter of June 13 (‘Why is BCNU running fear ads?’’): The suggestion that the B.C. Nurses’ Union is running fear ads is simply untrue. In his letter, Husband asks nurses to comment and “tell the truth.” As a nurse registered in this province and as president of the BCNU, let me share the truth with your readers. The situations faced by nurses, as portrayed in the ads, are indeed serious problems. What’s more, the scenes that are presented are based on reality. There is overcapacity in many health-care facilities, which means there are too many patients with too few nurses. Hallway nursing forces nurses to

Where are the grow-ops? A Thompson-Nicola Regional District director wants to know where federally approved medical cannabis facilities are located. Lower North Thompson director Bill Kershaw said a fire in Barriere raised questions about the safety of first

Calling bat man — and woman The BC Community Bat Program is seeking volunteers and bat colonies for its annual bat count. The initiative encourages residents to count bats at local roost sites. “Bat counts are a wonderful way for residents to get involved in collecting important scientific information” said biologist Mandy Kellner, co-ordinator of the program.
“No special skills are needed. You can be any age and you can relax in a deck chair while counting.” The count will collect baseline data on bat populations before the devastating white nose syndrome fungal disease affects bats in the province. White nose syndrome is estimated to have killed more than seven-million bats since it was first discov-

ered in eastern North America a decade ago. In March 2016, the disease was detected just east of Seattle and has now spread within Washington state. Kellner said counting bats is easy. Volunteers wait outside a known roost site, such as a bat house, barn, bridge or attic, and count bats as they fly out at twilight. Volunteers record the final number,
along with basic information on weather conditions. One count, when pups are born, will conclude this week. Volunteers can take part in the next count — between July 11 and Aug. 5, when pups are flying.

Two men now face assault and robbery charges robbery in connection with a physical attack that left a man with serious injuries in Brocklehurst earlier this month. Mounties were called at 10:30 a.m. on June 9, and told of a man receiving medical attention as a result of a beating he received in a structure behind 2535 Glenview Ave. in Brocklehurst. Staff Sgt. Mathias Van Laer said
the victim was treated for serious, but non-life-threatening wounds and had been attacked earlier by a group of people. Van Laer said it appeared the victim was targeted and that he knew his attackers. Shelkie told KTW a police investigation into the assault identified two suspects. On June 11, one of those suspects, 20-year-old Austin Martin, was arrested by police. Police arrested a second suspect in the early afternoon of last Friday. The suspect was spotted by

Aexander Kaulback, who is in his late 20s, was initially detained by police at gunpoint and arrested for aggravated assault. The other two people in the vehicle with the assault suspect were released at the scene. Martin and Kaulback are facing charges of aggravated assault, robbery and uttering threats. They remain in custody and is scheduled to appear in court later this month for bail hearings.

Council gives its nod to city-wide anti-idling bylaw JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
As expected, Kamloops council has unanimously approved a bylaw amendment that will restrict all vehicle idling within city limits to three minutes. The pre-amendment bylaw regulated the idling of commercial vehicles in residential areas to no more than three consecutive minutes. The bylaw includes exceptions, such as vehicles with perishable goods and vehicles caught in traffic. The bylaw will not apply to private property, including malls and drive-thrus. “The intention of the bylaw is to change our driving habits primarily through education and voluntary compliance,” city bylaws supervisor John Ramsay said. “It’s going to be generational,” he said, noting parents will teach kids growing up not to idle. Glen Cheetham, the city’s sustainability-services supervisor, said most vehicles require only 30 seconds to warm up.

He said that information will be among education elements by the city. “With good education and being persistent, we’ll get there,” he said. Coun. Tina Lange said social media response to news of the bylaw changes indicates the city will have a “bit of a battle” in educating the public. In recent years, she said she has asked people to shut off their engines. “I think it will be communityenforced,” Lange said. Coun. Denis Walsh wanted exceptions for extreme weather, noting Kamloops’ climate is different from places like Vancouver. He used the example of a grandmother with mobility issues sitting in a car while somebody runs into a grocery store. “There’s this grey area that is a reality in our city,” Walsh said. “Today [Tuesday], I’m assuming it’s 35 [Celsius] out there. That would be a problem.” Ramsay said situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis. He said bylaw officers will

respond to public complaints on excessive idling, noting enforcement will be the last step to encourage compliance. Ramsay said verbal or written warnings will usually precede enforcement. Bylaw offences related to idling are subject to a $100 fine. Asked how it would impact the City of Kamloops fleet, civic operations director Jen Fretz noted a hydrovac truck that must be running to operate equipment such as a pressure washer would be exempt. She also referenced employees who work outdoors in the winter and summer months. “We do have to consider that these people are working outside all day long,” she said. The city plans to promote the anti-idling bylaw in traditional print media, in schools and via ads on buses. Councillors also asked private properties take on the initiative. “It’s good business for people to get out of those cars and go into the business,” Lange said, noting the bylaw could have positive impacts on bottom lines.

I cannot tell you the tens of hours I “have spent in my basement trying to
decide whether someone’s death is in fact reasonably foreseeable. That is by far the most difficult part of the process from a decision-making point of view.
”
— DR. ERIC HAYWOOD-FARMER
MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW
THE RIGHT TO DIE DEBATE CONTINUES michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
patient of his once joked that she expected to see him wearing a black coat and carrying a sickle. For the past two years, Dr. Eric Haywood-Farmer has provided a unique and necessary medical service — ending the lives of people suffering intolerably from incurable conditions through medically assisted death. “These are people who have looked death in the face, they know that it’s coming and they’ve decided to take a little bit of control over where and when it happens,” Haywood-Farmer told KTW. “I think people who have done
that have often developed a bit of a sense of gallows humour about the whole thing and it’s a way of lightening the mood and making it more comfortable.” The local ER doctor has assessed 14 cases and guided about 10 people to a peaceful end since medical assistance in dying (MAiD) became legal in Canada in June of 2016. He was one of four panelists who spoke on the topic last week during one of a three-part series on health-care decisions hosted by the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. Requests for medically assisted death in the Kamloops area have been on the rise, he said. “If you’d tried to look for information back in 2016, you wouldn’t have found it anywhere, whereas now there’s a co-ordinator, there’s a website, family physicians are
starting to know where to refer people,” Haywood-Farmer said. The physician conducted one assisted death in 2016, was involved in five in 2017 and was part of four this past March alone. Haywood-Farmer said he turned down a few other cases earlier this year and is currently on a hiatus from providing MAiD services, in part hoping more local doctors will step up to begin offering the service. “I felt like I was taking on the whole burden, so I felt I had to force the issue a bit,” HaywoodFarmer said. Two doctors are required to assess a patient’s condition, ensuring they meet all the legal requirements for medically assisted death. But only one of those physicians needs to administer the

medication that ends the person’s life. The procedure involves injecting a person with a high dosage of a sedative. They can also take the medication orally, but in B.C., a physician must be present the entire time. Haywood-Farmer is often that attending physician and until this year was the only local doctor conducting the procedure. “[A patient] can be in the hospital, they can be in their home. It’s up to them to choose when and where,” he said, noting most of his patients have chosen to die at home surrounded by loved ones. “I’ve had people curled up in bed with their spouse. I’ve had up to 30 people in the same room,” Haywood-Farmer said. Following a procedure, he said, there’s a palpable, almost magi-
cal feeling of relief in the room amongst family members who have had to watch a loved one struggle for so long. “The feeling in the room when someone dies is a lot like the feeling when a baby is born … it’s something that only happens to you once, and being able to facilitate that and coach families through it so that it’s a more positive experience for them has been really rewarding,” HaywoodFarmer told those gathered in the Ken Lepin Lecture Theatre at RIH. He told KTW he feels it’s important people have access to this type of service. “I think it’s important for people to have the choice,” he said. “There’s a large number of palliative care tools and I see MAiD as being one of those tools.” See STRICT CONDITIONS, A13

FRIDAY 12:45PM & 6:45PM SATURDAY 1:45PM SUNDAY 12:45PM MONDAY 12:45PM MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW From left: Dr. Jill Calder, Dr. Eric Haywood-Farmer, Interior Health home health manager Lori Seely and Thompson Rivers University faculty of law professor Margaret Hall discusss the issue of assisted dying at the June 12 forum.
Decisions could impact law Fellow forum speaker and Thompson Rivers University faculty of law professor Margaret Hall said the current state of the legislation surrounding medically assisted dying in Canada is fluid. This is due to an ongoing constitutional challenge to the federal legislation and three independent reports addressing issues not outlined in the law that are still pending. “Stay tuned, it seems that further developments may be imminent,” Hall said at the forum. The legislation was amended following a 2015 Supreme Court of Canada decision in the case of Carter vs. Canada. In that case, the plaintiff was living with ALS and approaching a point where she would be unable to take her own life. “She said this forced her to make a cruel choice, between the intolerable suffering that awaited
her and taking her life prematurely at a time when she could still physically do it,” Hall said. Being forced to take her own life before she had or wanted to violated her right to life as outlined in section seven of the Constitution of Canada, Hall said. The Supreme Court of Canada agreed, thus leading to the change in law. But the subsequent legislation only allows for people with terminal conditions where death is “reasonably foreseeable” to access medically assisted death, which sparked the constitutional challenge from the BC Civil Liberties Association on behalf of Chilliwack resident Julia Lamb, a young woman with spinal muscular atrophy who has been in a wheelchair since age six. Lamb argues her condition could deteriorate to the point of suffering intolerably for years
without being able to take advantage of medically assisted dying if her death is not considered to be reasonably foreseeable. Whereas Carter vs. Canada argued a violation of a person’s right to life, Lamb’s case claims the new legislation violates a person’s right to liberty to make fundamental decisions about their body, Hall said. The current legislation doesn’t address certain issues, such as requests from mature minors, advance requests and conditions in which mental illness is the main medical condition, but the federal government has commissioned the Council of Canadian Academies to review those issues. “Their reports are due this fall, so it’ll be very interesting to [hear] what they have to say about it that may have a future impact on the legislation,” Hall said. — Michael Potestio
Strict conditons attached to assisted dying cases From A11
To be eligible for medically assisted death, a number of conditions must be met. In order to receive MAiD, a patient must have an irremediable condition, must be at least 18 years old, must be at the point where a natural death is reasonably foreseeable, must request the assistance in writing without pressure or influence from others and must give informed consent throughout the process. Those who are eligible to choose this route must be informed by their doctor or nurse practitioner of all alternative options, such as palliative or hospice care, though they are not required to accept them.
MAiD can only be provided to those who can give consent. Consent by a representative of the patient is prohibited, as is the patient giving their consent in advance of an illness. Patients always have an opportunity to back out of the procedure, even in their final moments. “You always have a discussion with the patient just before they die to say, ‘Do you really want to go through with this? Do you want to go through with it now? Are you sure you don’t want to put it off?’” HaywoodFarmer said. When evaluating a patient’s eligibility, some cases are cut and dry. The person has a terminal condition such as cancer, no further options for treatment are available and they’re
in constant pain, he said. In some cases, more research is needed to determine a person’s prognosis. “I cannot tell you the tens of hours I have spent in my basement trying to decide whether someone’s death is in fact reasonably foreseeable,” he told the forum. “That is by far the most difficult part of the process from a decision-making point of view.” As a practitioner, the experience of helping someone end their life feels like having run an emotional marathon, Haywood-Farmer said. “It’s extremely emotionally depleting,” he said. “You do one MAiD case in a day and it’s very difficult to do anything else that day.

Council will wait and see on AQ monitors JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops council has decided not enough is known about a private company’s air quality monitors to add them to city facilities. “When we do these [decisions] on the fly, we can always screw ourselves badly in the butt,” Arjun Singh said. “Let’s not do that with this one, in my view.” Singh brought into question the accuracy of Purple Air monitors after Donovan Cavers made a motion for the city to spend $2,000 to add them throughout the city. His motion came after a smoky summer last year due to wildfires. Some residents have installed the monitors at their homes and Cavers sees a gap in monitoring throughout the

city by the Ministry of Environment, noting the information is not accessible in an up-to-date manner. Singh, however, said a presentation on Purple Air air monitors by the Kamloops Air Quality Roundtable last year noted “concerns expressed with the accuracy of the sensors, interpretation of the data, communication of erroneous health risks to the public and public statements made by Dr. Mehta about the MOE air quality monitoring network.” A report was supposed to be circulated on limitations of the technology. “As much as I appreciate what Dr. Mehta has done with his network and the ability people have to watch it, there are some concerns around these monitors about how they actually work and what kind of impression they’re giving to people,” Singh said. “Even if people already have anxiety, they might overstate.”

With a covenant in place to mitigate noise, Monte Creek Ranch Winery can move ahead with an amphitheatre at its property east of Kamloops. “The zoning is in place and the covenant is on title, so they can develop when they’re ready to develop,” Thompson-Nicola Regional District manager of planning services Alex Krause told KTW. More than two years ago, the winery requested site-specific zoning amendments from the regional district to build an open-air amphitheatre that would seat up to 1,800 to host events like concerts and weddings. The winery initially hoped the new facility would be operating last year. A public hearing in November 2016, however, revealed concerns from neighbours about the impacts of noise in the area and hours of operation. As a result, the board approved zoning amendments on the condition a covenant be put in place to mitigate noise. That covenant — which includes design parameters and a curfew — has since been secured. “The owner had to work to get it drafted, so we were in agreement with that,” Krause said. “They’ve done that, they’ve registered it.” Under the covenant, seating and surrounding walls must be constructed of sound-diminishing materials and ground level must be at least five metres below the average grade for sound containment. In addition, the stage and band shell must face the forested slope and focus sound into the amphitheatre, including an overhead structure that reflects sound into the audience. The north wall of the stage and band shell must be 13 metres wide and nine metres high, with a minimum sound transmission of 60 decibels to prevent sound from projecting to neighbouring properties. The amphitheatre must shut down at 11 p.m. “It’s like any bylaw, any regulation. It’s up to them to respect that. If not and we get complaints, we would have to follow up from there,” Krause said. The project also needed support from the Agricultural Land Commission and the Ministry of Transportation, both of which have given Monte Creek approval. The next step for the winery will be to secure a building permit for the structure. Monte Creek told KTW it expected the project to be completed in about five years.
Singh asked council to refer the motion to the city’s sustainability advisory committee, to lean on experts and get the decision right. Cavers argued staff time could double the costs of implementing the monitors and, while he acknowledged they aren’t perfect, said they provide a “snapshot.” “So why not just ahead with it now and save everybody the time?” he asked. “I guess I could live with it, but I would prefer to just go ahead with it now. I would worry that we’d end up with a bunch of smoke over the next few weeks and not have them in place when they could be.” Voting in favour of deferring the motion on June 12 were councillors Singh, Kathy Sinclair, Dieter Dudy and Pat Wallace and Mayor Ken Christian. Voting against were councillors Ray Dhaliwal, Tina Lange, Cavers and Walsh.

A new flight will depart from Kamloops Airport to Toronto beginning this week. Air Canada Rouge, Air Canada’s low-fare subsidy, will introduce the service on Thursday on a temporary basis through Oct. 9. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, who is also president of Kamloops Airport Authority Society, is encouraging residents to use the service, which he said could lead to an extension “if we can show that their volumes have been decent in the summer and into the fall.” Air Canada Rouge flights will leave Kamloops at 12:15 p.m. on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Return flights will head back to the Tournament Capital from Pearson International Airport on the same days at 9:45 a.m. Eastern time. Christian said a float-plane dock is also nearing completion at the airport. Some services have fizzled out at the airport in recent years. Discount airline NewLeaf offered flights to Victoria and Edmonton in 2016 before the service was suspended. WestJet also cancelled its Kamloops to Edmonton flight that year due to the downturn in the energy sector. The airport reported record-setting passenger numbers earlier this year.

Kamloops Mounties are reminding graduating students to understand how to have fun while also staying safe. Police say parents should talk to their child about what the expectations are, stay involved in what their child is doing and keep an open communication. Graduation safety tips for parents: • Require adult supervision at every celebration your child attends; • Know who will be driving your child to and from the party; • Remind your child that, under any circumstance, you will be there to pick them up or help them; • Ask questions and keep in contact with your child while they are out; • Set a curfew and give your child rules that they must follow.

UN says global refugee numbers reach new high TERESA WRIGHT
CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Wars, violence and persecution worldwide drove refugee numbers to a fifth-straight record high in 2017, with Canada becoming the ninth-largest recipient of asylum seekers in the world, according to a new United Nations report. The annual Global Trends Report from the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) shows the world total of displaced people last year was 68.5 million. In 2017 alone, more than 16-million people were newly displaced. Looking at the numbers another way, an average of one person became a refugee every two seconds last year. These trends indicate new, more collaborative solutions are needed to ensure countries and communities aren’t left alone to deal with influxes of migrants, said Filippo Grandi, UN High Commissioner for Refugees. “We are at a watershed, where success in managing forced displacement globally requires a new and far more comprehensive approach,’’ he said. “No one becomes a refugee by choice, but the rest of us can
have a choice about how we help.’’ More than two-thirds of all refugees worldwide came from just five countries: Syria, Afghanistan, South Sudan, Myanmar and Somalia. For the fourth consecutive year, Turkey hosted the largest number of refugees — 3.5-million people. Canada was the ninth-largest recipient of asylum seekers, with 47,800 claims registered in 2017 — more than twice the number of claims in 2016. And, for the first time in five years, the United States became the largest recipient of new asylum applications in 2017, with more than 330,000 claims lodged — a 27 per cent jump from 2016. These spikes in the numbers of asylum seekers in Canada and the U.S. have been the focus of heavy debate both at home and south of the border over the last year. The issue came to a boiling point in recent days with strong backlash over a new U.S. zero tolerance’ policy against illegal asylum seekers who cross into the United States, under which they are charged with federal crimes and separated from their children. The children are being
detained in guarded, fenced enclosures, prompting widespread condemnation and protest. Fallout continued on Tuesday, with President Donald Trump once again taking to Twitter to defend the policy, blaming the opposition Democrats for weak border security laws. “They don’t care about crime and want illegal immigrants, no matter how bad they may be, to pour into and infest our country, like MS-13,’’ Trump tweeted, referring to the notorious, international criminal gang. The UN report showed a total of 138,700 unaccompanied and separated child refugees and asylum seekers were reported in 2017 by 63 UNHCR operations. Despite the stark numbers and increasingly heated political rhetoric, Grandi said he believes there is hope for the world’s refugees. Fourteen countries are pioneering a new blueprint for responding to refugee situations as part of a global compact on refugees, which will soon be ready for adoption by the UN General Assembly. “Today, on the eve of World Refugee Day, my message to member states is please support this,’’ Grandi said.

Speaker rejects emergency debate OTTAWA — The official Opposition is calling for an emergency debate in the House of Commons over the future of Canada-U.S. trade, but Speaker Geoff Regan has denied the request. Conservative foreign affairs critic Erin O’Toole said Canadians need to see their elected representatives addressing what is the biggest economic crisis in their lifetime. On July 1, Canada is set to impose retaliatory tariffs of $16.6 billion on U.S. products after President Donald Trump slapped tariffs on aluminum and steel and has threatened

more to come on automobiles. “Tariff imposition of this nature would be devastating for the auto industry in Ontario,’’ O’Toole said. “There has never been such a looming threat to the Canadian economy than the threat we’re looking at now.’’ Regan, however, has rejected O’Toole’s plea. The Trump administration has already imposed punishing tariffs on imports of steel and aluminum from Canada, Mexico and the European Union, using national security as a justification. — Canadian Press

eah Assu is ready to suit up and grab her bike for the fourth time in support of Ride Don’t Hide. She does it for many reasons. “I do it for family, for friends, for people I don’t know, people in other communities. “And I ride for Duncan, too.” This is the second year Assu will take part in the annual event that raises money for programming at the Canadian Mental Health Association, including its Kamloops branch. Last year, the third year she took part, Assu was part of the Road Crew team, but she dedicated her part of that team’s effort in the 88-kilometre stretch to Duncan Kilba, her stepson Cody’s best friend since elementary school. Kilba died by suicide last year at the age of 19. This year, she’s got a team of riders who all are doing it to honour the young man. Assu said she didn’t know Kilba’s family well, but felt connected to him through her stepson. “And I had taken their graduation pictures just a bit before,” she said. “And I knew I wanted to do this.” She contacted Karen Kilba, talked about her plan and wanted to be sure it was respectful of the Kilba family since the ride took place just months after his March 2, 2017 death. “The day of the ride, it was so emotional. There were a lot of hugs,” Assu said. Assu works at Royal Inland Hospital and said she sees first-hand how mental-health issues can affect families and friends. She believes in the ride’s goal to not only raise money, but to break the stigma of mental illness. The ride started in B.C. when a Vancouver teacher, having ridden his bike around the world to promote mental-health awareness, decided he wanted to do more. Michael Schratter spent 14 months travelling about 48,000 kilometres for a personal reason — he wanted to create a positive image of a person with a mental illness. Riding the bike was a way to recognize his dad died in a bicycle accident in 1993. The ride was supported by the CMHA and the agency continues to sponsor it as the fundraiser expands nationally with a goal of raising $1.5 million. Last year, the Kamloops event had 41 riders and raised $20,000 — the Road Crew itself raised $6,000. This year, there are 60 riders already registered for this Sunday’s event and the hope is to raise $30,000, money that will go to community education and programs.

Leah Assu said the Ride Don’t Hide event is important to her, noting mental health affects everyone in some way.
There are three distances in the ride, which will begin in Centennial Park in Westsyde and either head south to Riverside Park or north to the McClure ferry. The two in-city rides are 10 and 23 kilometres long. There’s also the option of a five-kilometre walk or run. The trek to McClure and back is 88 kilometres. There’s also an option for a virtual rider — someone who wants to help raise money, but isn’t interested in hopping on the bike and pedalling off. Assu said she will ride in any bike-oriented fundraiser because it brings together her passion for biking and her belief in giving back to the community, she had never gone as far as the McLure ride required her to pedal. “It was quite a long ride, but I had trained for it,” she said, adding it’s not easy to train in Rayleigh, where she lives. “It’s a beautiful ride to McLure, though,” she said, noting she will be riding the long route again this weekend. Long-distance riders who also raise $300 will receive a custom jersey attesting to their lengthy trek, said Shelley Trudeau, facilities and operations manager for the Kamloops CMHA branch and manager of the ride fundraiser. People can register to ride as singles or on teams online at http://ridedonthide.com/bc/ride/ kamloops/ and they will be accepted right up to Sunday’s 9 a.m. ride start. There is a $35 registration fee to take part. “This is an important cause for me,” Assu said, noting mental health affects everyone in some way, be it PTSD, bullying and Alzheimer’s and dementia. “We’ve had a lot of talks here in the past year,” she said of her family coping with their friend’s death. “And I tell my kids that there’s always someone who will listen to you. “There always is.”

Alchemy the next to enter growing micro-brewery scene JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
P
eanut butter and jam and Reese’s Pieces. Flavours befitting a dessert menu will be on tap at a new micro-brewery hoping to add pizzazz to the local beer scene. “We’re going to be very playful with our beers,” Alchemy Brewing Company owner Al Renner said. The brewery — which is expected to open in September —
will occupy 1,400 square feet of space formerly home to Vittorio’s Downtown in the Thompson Hotel at 650 Victoria St. Renner, 40, has dabbled in beer-making while managing construction in the Lower Mainland. He said the window of opportunity for securing a place in the local beer market is getting smaller as more and more micro-breweries open locally. Two new operations — Alchemy and Bright Eye Brewing, which is due to open in North Kamloops in 2019 — will bring the number of micro-breweries in Kamloops to five. Renner believes the market
can sustain seven. “I think the larger ones, they’re going to have a problem,” he said. Not looking to compete with a saturated craft beer scene in B.C. or Canada, Alchemy beer won’t be distributed. Growlers can still be filled on site but the focus will instead be on small batches unique to European beers on tap at other Kamloops breweries. Renner said he will brew West Coast-style beers, similar to those on offer from Ballast Point Brewing Company (San Diego), Rogue Ales (Oregon) or Deschutes Brewery (Portland). Inspiration for the micro-brewery is drawn from Portland, the eclectic Oregon city on the West Coast known for its brews and food carts. Alchemy’s food menu will feature street food dishes, from smoked meat to pizza to a “glazed and confused” burger, which utilizes a donut in place of the bun. “It’s going to be really fun,” Renner said. “We’re not, by any means, fine dining.” He also said the micro-brewery will be inexpensive: “We’re not trying to gouge people.” The name and branding are centred around chemistry. The logo is the symbol for water, paired with hops and wheat. Renovations in the space in the hotel next to the Noble Pig will cost between $100,000 and $150,000. The brewery will have about 80 seats and include a patio. The patio, however, likely won’t open until next summer due to the fall opening. Alchemy will be hiring between eight and 10 people.
It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.

BUSINESS DO I SAVE MY TEETH OR EXTRACT THEM? Dr. Preety Desai Having done dental implants for over 20 years, I’m often faced with the dilemma, should you extract your teeth in favour of dental implants, or should you keep your teeth? While this question is subject to appropriate diagnosis and treatment planning, there are some rules that I’ve applied over the years that seem to be pretty consistent. 1. Those ads that you see about dental implants should be treated as advertising. The purpose of advertising is to bring you into the dental office. Many of the ads that you see extol the virtues of dental implants. I place dental implants every day, and for most, they are great. And for some, they are not. Just because you see an ad, don’t think that the only answer is dental implants. There are often other answers that are better. It is still the doctor, still the diagnosis, still the evaluation of you as a patient that precedes the determination of the treatment that is critical in determining what will work best for you. The dental implant doesn’t replace the doctor. It’s a tool that the doctor uses. The better trained the doctor, the better they can explain the virtues of dental implants vs. saving teeth vs a combination of the two. 2. Dental implants are subject to disease just as teeth are subject to disease. Dental implants will not decay, but dental implants are at the mercy of periodontal disease. Periodontal disease of an implant is called “peri implantitis.” While periodontal disease can be treated quite predictably in many cases, peri implantitis cannot. Those who have periodontal disease are also more prone to peri implantitis. Therefore, you should consult with a periodontist to see if your periodontal disease treatment may be a more predictable option for you than extracting the teeth and putting in dental implants. 3. If you are continuing to get more and more cavities, dental implants are a more predictable treatment in many cases. Once you get decay, particularly root decay, and it becomes a continuous battle to fill your teeth, then implants may be a more predictable treatment if major work is required. Teeth decay for a lot of reasons, but one of the main reasons is acid in the mouth. When a mouth is dry, it is acidic. There are about 500 medications that cause dry mouth. If you’re one of the many who take those medications, and your teeth are suffering as a result, then restoring the teeth may not be the best answer. Even if a tooth is restored, bacteria and acid can still get under the restoration, causing the decay problem once again. You must consider all the variables in both your dental health and your general health before recommendations are made to you. Take your time to see a good diagnostician. Get opinions from specialists who treat your problem. Get a second opinion if you’re not sure. The decision that you are making is a major decision. Make sure that you’ve thought through the entire problem with a dental specialist that you trust before making your decision on treatment.
Mayor: bus cuts hurt rural areas JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Greyhound cuts are impacting residents in rural areas outside of Kamloops. “People will tell me oh, you know, we can have the health bus take you your appointments, but it’s not just health,” Lytton Mayor and TNRD director Jessoa Lightfoot said. “It’s having your granddaughter come on the bus or getting on the bus and going to Vancouver to a conference or having tourists that come into Vancouver come up to the canyon and raft. It’s a whole energizing of an area that is in sore need of revitalization.” Lightfoot raised the issue with Kamloops MLAs Peter Milobar and Todd Stone on Thursday afternoon after the
private transport company ended service to and from her community on June 1. Financial losses and declining ridership have led Greyhound Canada to eliminate and reduce routes in northern British Columbia, in the Interior and on Vancouver Island. About 1,500 residents in a 45-kilometre stretch between Lytton and Boston Bar used the service on an annual basis, Lightfoot said, adding the canyon from Hope to Cache Creek no longer has public transportation of any kind. “I hear of all the money we’re putting into roads, bridges, I hear of fast-rail between Seattle and Vancouver, that we’re one of the few countries in the world that doesn’t have it. Really, I’m concerned that we’re giving into a trend that maybe doesn’t have, really isn’t healthy in general for society in B.C. — that is the central-
Stone updates TNRD on project timelines Kamloops South-Thompson MLA and former highways minister Todd Stone said road projects in the region are behind schedule. “The completion dates are a couple years later than originally set,” Stone told the Thompson-Nicola Regional District board on Thursday. That includes four-laning of the TransCanada Highway 1 east of Kamloops, a
$1.5-billion multi-project undertaking to modernize the highway across British Columbia to the Alberta border. The highway is 337 kilometres long. Sections of the route already completed in recent years include widening of a 10-kilometre stretch of highway west of Chase from Pritchard to Hoffman’s Bluff. Delays have been felt in recent years after archeological sites were discovered.

izing of people in urban centres and the deterioration of rural communities,” she said. “I’m not sure what the solution is, but I do know that it’s an issue that needs to be addressed.” Stone, the former highways minister, said the smaller the community the more chronic the need for transportations options. He noted Greyhound has a “difficult business model” and it’s an issue impacting jurisdictions across North America. Stone cited the implementation of continuous transit service between Terrace and Prince George, though it doesn’t run often. “I say, if we can do it there, why not in other parts of the province?” he said. Lightfoot asked the MLAs to “champion” the cause.

For the past 25 years, Kamloops has had a place for locals who are visually impaired to come together. “It’s very, very, very helpful because we all understand each other, where we’re coming from, how to help each other,” Kamloops White Cane Club president Linda Hall said. The social club is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, marking a quarter-century of being a source of support and recreational activities for Kamloops’ blind community. Each year, members take part in activities such as bowling tournaments, birthday luncheons, bus trips and fishing derbies. Hall has been visually impaired since she was a baby, having been born prematurely. “The oxygen in the incubator damaged my optic nerves and then I got glaucoma and, inside of a year, it took my sight,” Hall said. She lost her sight completely by the age of 27. Originally from Alberta, Hall moved to Kamloops in 1985 with her husband and kids. In the days before there was a local club, Hall said that she felt alone with her disability. “People understood, but not to the point that visually impaired people do,” Hall said. She and a friend of hers got together to form a white cane club the year after she moved to Kamloops, which lasted until 1990 before folding. “There just weren’t enough people to keep it going,” Hall said. In 1993, however, Todd Harding founded the current Kamloops White Cane Club. He said its primary goal was to provide the visually impaired with opportunities for recreational activities. “That’s a huge part of our life,” Harding told KTW. “I think for many years, people with disabilities had a tendency of
being a shut-in population, especially in the past, with little or no opportunities for recreation unless the family was in support of that.” Harding lost his sight to a car accident 38 years ago and recreation was an important part of his rehabilitation. He said he soon realized there was “a hell of a lot I could do despite the fact I was blind.” Harding said he knew of similar clubs in other towns in which he lived, but he noticed there wasn’t anything like the white cane club in Kamloops when he arrived in 1992. “I’ve been passionate with respect to advocacy for persons with disabilities since I became one,” he said, adding he and his ex-wife began rallying members of the blind community to get the club off the ground, even partnering with the local fish and game club. “If you want to make life what you want it to be, it’s up to you to do that,” Harding said. A few years after her initial club disbanded, Hall got word of the creation of the Kamloops White Cane Club. “About three months after I heard about it, I thought, ‘I’ll go see what it’s about.’ And before I left, I joined,” Hall said with a laugh. She’s been with the club ever since. Hall said members of the group are always there to support each other. “We just do what we want to do and what people are willing to help us with,” Hall said, noting the importance of their volunteers. The members of the Kamloops club come from all walks of life. “There are some who still work, there’s seniors, we range from the age of 31 to 98,” Hall said. From its humble beginnings in 1993 with about a dozen members, the club now has a current membership of 36. Hall offered special thanks to the Desert Gardens Community Centre for years of helping the club host functions.

STEWART RANKED NO. 1 IN WORLD MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
“Part of me has numbers in my head, but I don’t know,” Stewart said. “Just keep training and stay humble. I’m still in the development stages.” Stewart was a tad worried last Tuesday when he threw only 14.87m while training in the throws area beside Hillside Stadium. “I was like, oh man, I hope I can throw over 15 on Wednesday, but it was pouring rain, so I had to train inside and I couldn’t tell how far I was throwing,” he said. Armstrong’s pupil launched the shot 15.27m in his first throw on Saturday and was shocked because it didn’t feel like a mechanically sound release. The second toss was 15.67m. “I was like, whoa, that was far,” he said. “I was amped up. I had the jitters. I almost fell over in the circle. “Then, when I threw 15.8, if you look at the video, I walked away. I had no idea. I still have so much more to learn.” Stewart knows breaking world records and claiming gold at major international meets can mean securing valuable sponsorship deals — and he knows his size and status as a one-armed phenom is marketable. “There is lots of opportunity there and there is no harm in taking advantage of it, but I’m still building my resume,” he said. “I’m trying to stay as grounded as I can.” Notable events remaining on the calendar this summer include the Harry Jerome International Track Classic, scheduled to run on June 26 and June 27 in Burnaby, the Para-Athletics Canadian Championships in the first week of July in Ottawa and the B.C Athletics Track and Field Championship Jamboree, slated to run from July 13 to July 15 in Coquitlam. Next year, Stewart will aim for hardware at the World Para Athletics Championships, which will be held in November in Dubai. Wearing the Maple Leaf at the 2020 Paralympic Summer Games in Tokyo is also on his agenda. “I see podium potential in 2020,” Armstrong said. “We’re not going to make the final. We’re going to win.”
KTW FILE PHOTO Greg Stewart might have felt a tad isolated at times last winter, tucked away in the throws pit at the Tournament Capital Centre. The hard work paid off on the weekend, with the 7-foot-2 shot putter taking over top spot in the world in his category with a throw of 15.80 metres.

Greg Stewart started formal training in shot put in September of 2017. The 7-foot-2 behemoth became the No. 1-ranked athlete in the International Paralympic Committee men’s F 46 shot put division on Saturday, winning gold with a heave of 15.80 metres at the Desert Challenge Games in Phoenix. He is the best in the world in his category in 2018. Stewart, who threw 13.08m last year at his first IPC-sanctioned event, now boasts a personal best that is 18 centimetres shy of the world record. Josh Cinnamo of the U.S. set the mark when he threw 15.98m in May 2017. Improving more than two metres in less than a year is, “not even normal,” according to Stewart’s coach, Dylan Armstrong, who won bronze in shot put at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing. “I want to say, yes, I am surprised at how quickly it’s happened and I also want to say, no, because I’ve been pretty committed to what I’m doing,” said Stewart, who was born without a left hand or forearm, a disability that makes him eligible for the F 46 class. “Nowadays, I train at five o’clock in the morning. I’m committed.” Stewart is a former Canadian Interuniversity Sport basketball defensive player of the year. He also won three world championships playing for the national men’s standing disabled volleyball team. Training for those sports was always a challenge for Stewart, who has matured since graduating from Thompson Rivers University and dedicated himself to reaching his shot-put goals. “It feels kind of neat,” Stewart said. “The goal is to break it [the world record] this year. It’s just sticking to the program. Dylan has been on me this whole time. The Bondarchuk method works.” Armstrong has adopted the principles taught to him by Anatoliy Bondarchuk, the Ukrainian mad throws scientist who helped the Westsyde secondary graduate win Olympic bronze. The scariest part for Stewart’s competition is not knowing how much potential remains. He doesn’t know himself, but it seems safe to project there is room for improvement, considering he is still a rookie.

Matt Bardsley confirmed Serge Lajoie is among those remaining in the hunt for the Kamloops Blazers’ head coaching position. The Blazers’ general manager was overtly coy in answering questions about the hiring process, not willing to part with information out of respect for remaining candidates. Gregg Drinnan reported in his blog Taking Note that Lajoie was in Kamloops on Monday to meet with Bardsley. Lajoie became head coach of the Alberta Golden Bears in time for the 2015-2016 season when Ian Herbers stepped away from the position for a threeyear sabbatical. The 49-year-old bench boss led the Golden Bears to the U Sports title in March. Herbers is retaking the reins after spending three seasons as an assistant coach for the Edmonton Oilers, mak-
ing Lajoie a commodity of interest to majorjunior teams looking for a head coach. “He is certainly on the list and I think out of respect to him and to other candidates, I can’t really comment on anything until a final decision is made,” Bardsley said. Bardsley said last week he is close to reaching a decision. He upped the ante on Tuesday. “I think we’re really close,” he said. “We’ll be able to talk about a certain person soon.” Lajoie, from Bonnyville, Alta., was a defenceman for the Golden Bears for five seasons and won the
Canadian university championship in 1992, when Billy Moores was Alberta’s head coach. Billy’s brother, Don, is the Blazers’ president and COO. The Blazers connections don’t stop there. Lajoie played seven games in blue and orange in the 1986-1987 season, recording two points. Don Moores was an assistant coach for that team, along with Don Hay. Whoever Bardsley hires will replace Hay, as he relinquished the head coaching position and slid into an advisory role in May. Bardsley was named GM on June 1, replac-
ing Stu MacGregor, who took a position on the Dallas Stars’ scouting staff. Tom Gaglardi, the majority owner of the Blazers, also owns the Stars. 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. “I’m looking for someone that has the same vision I do,” Bardlsey said. “But out of respect, I can’t say too much right now.”

CALGARY — A player from the Lethbridge Hurricanes hockey team is in a medically induced coma after he and two others were injured at a campfire on the weekend. In a joint news release, the Western Hockey League, the Hurricanes and the families involved said Ryan Vandervlis, a 20-year old centre with the major junior team, suffered severe burns. His family said that he’s been placed in a medically induced coma due to his injuries. “He is receiving exceptional medical care in an intensive-care unit in Calgary,’’ Barb, Rene, Cara, Sean and Rachel Vandervlis said in a statement. “He remains in critical condition.’’ Two others — Jordy Bellerive, a Pittsburgh Penguins’ prospect, and alumnus Matt Alfaro, who now plays for the University of Calgary Dinos — were also injured. Bellerive, 19, and Alfaro, 21, are both in stable condition. The Penguins said they’ve been in contact with Bellerive, who is “in good spirits and expected to make a full recovery.’’ Matt Bellerive, Jordy’s older brother, played 29 games for the
Kamloops Blazers in the 2013-2014 WHL season. Alfaro’s university team also posted a statement on Twitter. “Dinos representatives have been in communication with the Alfaro family as Matt recovers in a Calgary hospital,’’ said the Dinos. The WHL said the campfire took place at the family home of Hurricanes’ alumnus Tyler Wong. Wong’s family said nine of his friends came over to stay the night before going golfing and camping on Saturday. “In starting a campfire, the accident occurred,’’ said the Wong family in their statement. It said that both Wong parents were at home and they quickly transported the injured to hospital. Alberta Health Services said an ambulance intercepted the car and took them the rest of the way to Calgary. Cochrane RCMP have said they are investigating what happened at the fire, in the Bearspaw area of Rocky View County, but they have determined that a substance was placed into a fire pit that caused an explosion. The Vandervlis family said alcohol wasn’t a factor.
Serge Lajoie, who had a cup of coffee with the Kamloops Blazers as a player, may become the team’s head coach. He led the Alberta Golden Bears to the U Sports title this year.

Halifax chasing CFL franchise TORONTO — According to a report by TSN’s Dave Naylor, Maritime Football Ltd. has agreed to a three-step process that would secure a 10th franchise in the Canadian Football League. The group, which is responsible for trying to bring a CFL team to Halifax, was reportedly in the city on Tuesday to meet with city council and to provide an update on the process. Naylor said Tuesday that
part of the update includes some important agreements recently reached with the league. From potential team names to the activation of a Twitter account by Maritime Football Ltd., the movement to bring a team to Halifax continues to gain momentum since coming to light in November. However, commissioner Randy Ambrosie, while open to the idea, has maintained
that all due diligence will be taken and the league will take a careful, measured approach to ensure the success of any potential 10th franchise. One obstacle standing in the way of a potential franchise, which the prospective ownership group hopes to achieve by 2021, is the financing and construction of a stadium. In February, Ambrosie included Halifax on his cross-country road trip to
speak to fans in cities around the CFL. The Atlantic Town Hall was both highly-anticipated and well-attended. According to Naylor, Ambrosie and Anthony LeBlanc, a member of the prospective ownership group, “engaged with Moncton Mayor Dawn Arnold and New Brunswick Premier Brian Gallant to gauge their support for a team.” — cfl.ca

Take a day trip to Tunkwa Provincial Park Tunkwa Provincial Park is about an hour’s drive from Kamloops. KTW file photo
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Established in 1996, Tunkwa Provincial Park protects the grasslands, wetlands and forest ecosystems of the Southern Thompson plateau. The park also provides a home to a diverse selection of wildlife, including marmots, waterfowl, snakes, squirrels, bald eagles, mule deer, moose and a variety of birds. Both Leighton and Tunkwa lakes are stocked annually with rainbow trout. More than one-million eggs are collected every May. A small building is located at the end of Tunkwa Lake, making this a major provincial egg-collection site. The area is also an important ranching locale. In the 1860s, cowboys discovered these grasslands and drove their cattle north to feed the gold miners in the Cariboo. From late May until mid-October, you can still see cattle grazing in the grasslands and forests of the surrounding areas. It was ranching that created Tunkwa and Leighton lakes.
In the early 1900s, a dam was built on Tunkwa Lake. The dam turned the two shallow ponds into lakes. They were used as irrigation reservoirs for ranching purposes. Other dams have since been
added and the original dams upgraded to better protect the fish, making this one of British Columbia’s most popular fishing destinations. Since paddling the two lakes will take up most of the day, you may
want to spend the weekend and do a hike. The trail head starts at the small creek that links Tunkwa and Leighton lakes. Cross over a small bridge and the trail forks.

One fork goes to the 1,200-metre Bluff Trail to Bluff Hill and the other fork is the 4.3-kilometre lake loop circuit that goes around Leighton Lake. Both trails are a photographer’s delight, with an abundance of plants, wildlife and beautiful landscapes to capture. Don’t be surprised if many of your pictures are photo-bombed by a yellow-bellied marmot. Tunkwa Park has a relatively high population of these critters due to the favourable habitat it provides with respect to climate, food sources and burrowing spots. How to get there: From Kamloops, drive to Savona, where you will see a sign for Tunkwa Lake. Turn left onto Tunkwa Lake Road and follow it for 25 kilometres, until you see the entrance to Tunkwa Lake Provincial Park. The road is paved all the way and there is plenty of free day parking.

Keep the mind active with science camps Eureka offers week-long science day camps programs for students ages seven to 13. Juniors are 7-8, intermediates are 9-10, seniors are 11-13 and codemakers are 10-13. Campers will enjoy an interactive week of demonstrations, hands-on activities, group activities, building projects, university tours, outdoor activities and games. Areas of science covered include biology, chemistry,
physics, engineering and technology, with campers able to do all of their own experiments. Eureka has alternating A and B weeks that offer different projects, so campers can attend two weeks in the summer if they wish. Projects are different each and year (except for the favourites) as organizers ensure the curriculum is not repeated for at least seven years. Because of recent statistics showing greater
involvement for boys in sciences during school age, Eureka is offering a special girls’ weekend camp for girls ages nine to 13. The plan is to take up to 44 girls to Harper Mountain from Aug. 10 to Aug. 12, with female instructors helping with a variety of science experiments and outdoor activities.

LOVE ALWAYS REMEMBERS
Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side When memory paints In colors true The happy hours that Belonged to you.
We provide in-home arrangements personally tailored for each individual. Different. On purpose.
Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
Alice, Bob, Charles, Don, Effie and Frieda played a game of hide and seek. In one of the rounds: 1) The seeker was male. 2) Bob was the last male found. 3) Two females were found consecutively. 4) Alice was the first female found. 5) Charles was found third. 6) No two males were found consecutively. 7) A male was found first, and a female was found last, or it was the other way around. 8) Effie was found after exactly one male (this says nothing about how many females).
