PETERSON PATHWAY OPENING DELAYED Project linking Sahali with downtown has land-stability issues; budget may be impacted JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
TAKE OFF, EH? TO TORONTO Thrice-weekly direct flights between city and Ontario capital began on Thursday
NEWS/A3
Land-stability issues will likely delay the opening of the new Peterson Creek Park multiuse pathway — and it is possible the project’s cost will exceed its $3.35-million budget. “We’re just working to make sure that the path is stable for the life of it,” City of Kamloops utilities engineer Liam Baker told KTW. “Make sure that we’re building it properly. It’ll be there for 40, 50-plus years.” The project, a 1.7-kilometre-long, threemetre-wide paved and lit trail connecting Sahali behind Sa-Hali secondary with the downtown core at Glenfair Drive, was due for completion by the end of the month, but the city said it will now open at an unknown date later this summer.
“The schedule is dependent on the contractor’s progress,” Baker said. “We’re still expecting the path to be open over the course of the summer some time. The contractor’s working through a bit of a difficult section geotechnically at the moment. Once they’re through that, we’ll update with more specifics on the schedule.” Extreme Excavating is the project’s contractor. The difficult section is a 50- to 100-metre stretch below Sa-Hali secondary. Saturated soils are being replaced with engineered soils to ensure stability of the pathway. Baker said the city knew there was groundwater in the area when the project began last October, but noted difficulty in figuring out how deep the water went. Excavation work required digging 30 to 40
per cent deeper than initially planned, he said, though exact depths could not be provided. “To keep grades reasonable along the project, we didn’t really have any other option but to go through that area,” Baker said, noting geotechnical work was also required following a “small landslide” along the path as the city prepared to tender the project. Asked if these issues will result in increased costs of the $3.35-million project, Baker said it’s possible. He added some costs were expected and included in the original tender. An update will be available in coming weeks. “Once they’re getting a little further through it, we can see how much more we have to excavate and what the cost implications might be,” Baker said. The project is being partially funded by a $1-million grant from Bike BC.

Tony Albuquerque, 44, had become used to flying past Kamloops on his way home. The Kamloops resident travels to Brazil three to four times per year on business and his typical route home went from Florianopolis to Sau Paulo to Toronto to Vancouver to Kamloops. “It was crazy. Oh my gosh, how much time you can save if you land right here,” he said. “Besides that, it was a little airplane before. I don’t know, I don’t feel safe. I prefer that [Airbus A319 aircraft.]” Albuquerque was welcomed home aboard the inaugural Toronto to Kamloops Air Canada Rouge flight on Thursday morning, greeted through a tunnel of golf clubs, fishing poles and ski poles hoisted by dignitaries — regional tourism elements that will be key to extending the trial route connecting Kamloops and the country’s largest city. “This is a big investment on the part of Rouge in terms of taking a chance on Kamloops and on the region and on this market,” Mayor Ken Christian said. The thrice-weekly flight is slated to run Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays until Oct. 9. If the first flights are any indication,
there is some work to do. Serge Corbeil, Air Canada’s director of government relations in the Western region, told KTW flights must exceed 80 per cent capacity at the end of the season to be considered for continuation. The first flight from Toronto Pearson International Airport to Kamloops Airport was 66 per cent full. On the way back to the Ontario capital, that capacity figure dropped to 59 per cent. “That’s just today,” Corbeil said. “We don’t look at it on a daily basis, we look at it overall. The first flight, it’s the first flight. It builds up.” The right product (a 137-passenger plane) in the right market (tourism opportunities) made sense to Air Canada in launching the service. In addition, about 67 per cent of the traffic from Kamloops Airport connects beyond current destinations of Vancouver or Calgary. Flights to Toronto will allow Kamloopsians the opportunity to take in a Blue Jays’ game, but will also connect people to more destinations than available from Vancouver. One problem in that equation, however, is timing. Flights that arrive in Toronto don’t necessarily allow same-day departures to Europe, for example. “But for those going to the U.S. [Eastern] Seaboard or coming back, then there’s a good

connection for that,” Corbeil said. “But we know there’s a lot of point-to-point traffic between this region and Toronto. Then it’s up to the local community, the tourism operator to also sell the region to those people wanting to come here and fish or golf or ski in the winter.” Tourism Kamloops points to a digital marketing campaign to attract Torontonians to the area and is marketing as far afield as Germany to promote the region’s great outdoors. Kamloops Airport managing director Heather McCarley called the opportunity a “tremendous milestone” in adding flights at the airport and noted the best May on record for passenger numbers, a six per cent bump over last year. Other passengers welcomed on Thursday praised the flight for saving time and hassle. Kamloops resident Brandon Olds was more than happy to skip Calgary on the way home from Toronto, saving him about five hours on his return from a business trip. Quebec senior Oliva Turbide appreciated having one less airport at which to stop and one less plane to board, due to a bad knee. Daughter Francine Dugas wheeled her into Kamloops Airport in a wheelchair, as the pair set off to visit family in Merritt. “Direct to fly, it’s better,” Dugas said.

DRUMMING UP INDIGENOUS STORIES
Siblings Danté and Rihanna William listen as Pauline Saxy sings and drums in the storytelling and drumming teepee on Thursday afternoon as National Indigenous Peoples’ Day was celebrated in Riverside Park. Similar events took place at the Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Powwow Grounds and at Thompson Rivers University.
Premier in city on Friday The premier and two ministers will be in Kamloops on Friday for an announcement that will benefit Thompson Rivers University. The press conference is scheduled to take place at Upper College Heights on McGill Road, across the Summit Connector from the university and near the intersection of Summit and McGill roads. It is a location the city and TRU are considering for con-
struction of an overpass for students to use to walk safely to classes. The last time an overpass was investigated was 2012 and the estimated cost was $5 million. The privately owned apartments at Upper College Heights are advertised on TRU’s website as housing options. Premier John Horgan will be accompanied by Minister of Advanced Education, Skills
and Training, Melanie Mark and Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Selina Robinson. The media advisory said the announcement will support students “while easing pressure on the rental housing market in the region.” It’s scheduled to be held at 10 a.m. at 704 McGill Rd. In 2016, TRU bought other student residences on McGill Road from the Sanesh family for $9 million.
Three die in crash near Cache Creek Three people are dead following a collision between a car and a semi-truck near Cache Creek. RCMP’s Central Interior Traffic Services said the accident occurred on Thursday at about 11 a.m., when a semi-truck traveling south on
Highway 97 collided with a car that was turning left onto Highway 99. All three victims, who police confirm included two adults and a minor, were riding in the car. As of KTW press deadline, there was no word on the condition of the truck driver.
Kamloops skydiver killed in accident An experienced Kamloops skydiver has died in a skydiving accident near Chicago. The Associated Press is reporting Reg Hurlbut, 68, was killed last Friday after hitting the ground when his parachute did not deploy properly. Hurlbut’s parachute opened, but appeared to get tangled and he couldn’t get control of it, LaSalle County Undersheriff Mike Renner said. Hurlbut landed in a bean field near Ottawa, Ill., about 160 kilometres from Chicago, and was pro-
nounced dead at the scene. The cause of the accident is still being investigated. Hurlbut had been training in Illinois for a record-setting wingsuit jump later this year. Hurlbut began skydiving in Kamloops in 1994 and had been part of multiple record-setting jumps for the number of wingsuit skydivers flying together in a diamond formation in Perris, Calif., in 2012 and 2015.

STAFF REPORTER

Customers who dropped off shoes to be repaired at JJ’s Shoe Repair on the North Shore when it abruptly closed late last year have been reunited with their lost soles. “It’s amazing how passionate people are about their shoes, even when they’ve been gone for a while,” said North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Jeremy Heighton. After receiving multiple complaints related to unreturned items after the Tranquille Road store went out of business, the NSBIA took the initiative to get the footwear back on the feet of their owners. “A lot of people were reaching out and saying, ‘We want to get our shoes back,’” Heighton told KTW. Heighton then reached out a couple weeks ago to the owner of the building, who agreed to let him in to collect the leftover shoe inventory. “[The store owner] turned the assets of the business over to the building owner because he owed back lease,” Heighton said. Multiple people spoke with KTW earlier this year about being unable to get their shoes back after dropping them off for repairs. “I went to pick up my boots and there was a sign on the door that said he hurt his back,” one customer said in January. “I called that number 10 times and I never got through. I finally phoned the cops. They said there was nothing I could do.”
MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Looking for a forever home: Many of these shoes and boots still need to be connected with their owners.
A message on the business’s answering machine at the time cited medical reasons for JJ’s being “down a lot” and in “catchup mode.” “Your co-operation and understanding is greatly appreciated,” the message said. “For all those who have left messages, we will be getting in touch with you as soon as possible.” With members of the CAP Team brought in to help, an estimated 800 shoes were collected from JJ’s Shoe Repair earlier this month. “There’s some singles, there’s pairs … we also took some purses and some belts,” Heighton said. The items were brought to the basement of NSBIA headquarters at Wilson House and covered eight tables. Shoes were handed back on Tuesday and Wednesday and Heighton noted there were 15 people lined up outside the door when they opened at noon the first day. There were 25 people —
some with multiple pairs of long lost footwear to pick up — who stopped in to Wilson House on Tuesday alone, Heighton said. “We suspect over the next week or two, we’ll probably have 300 or 400 shoes go back out the door,” Heighton said. What happens to any unclaimed shoes will need to be determined. The next opportunity for people to pick up their lost soles will be next Tuesday from noon to 4 p.m. at 115 Tranquille Rd. When it comes to matching shoe to foot, Heighton said it’s mostly an honour-based system, but some of the repaired shoes have tags, making it easier to verify owners. People who drop in are being asked to donate $2 to the United Way, but it’s not a requirement. “Honestly, if you can’t afford to give me a toonie, that’s fine,” Heighton said. “We’ll give you you’re shoes back, but we’d love to support the United Way.” So far, $100 has been collected for the agency.

IT IS IN YOU TO GIVE THIS SUMMER
W
hen it comes to promoting ideas and campaigns, we generally steer clear of focusing on a pre-designated or proclaimed day, week or month, given there are more than the calendar allows for at any one time. But the 10th anniversary of National Blood Donor Week just came and went and brought with it a timely and specific message for residents in Kamloops and across the country. Donations decline in the summer, with many people on vacation or simply thinking about other things. While Canadian Blood Services tells us the need for blood in general remains fairly consistent, a reduction in the supply side of that equation causes a ripple effect down the line. Consider that a devastating human emergency, such as the Humboldt Broncos bus crash or the Lac Megantique rail disaster, were to occur in summer. A depleted CBS national supply level is less able to provide the necessary blood and plasma to deal with that need, given its ongoing commitment to provide large amounts of blood required to treat leukemia patients, those having organ transplant surgery or people injured in vehicle crashes. CBS likes to point out, as do we, that a significantly large percentage of adults in this country are eligible to donate blood at any time of year. Yet the vast majority are simply not in the habit of doing so or perhaps feel they somehow are unable to donate. If you’re not sure, ask a local health-care professional or visit the Canada Blood Services website at blood.ca. The next blood clinic in Kamloops takes place from July 16 to July 18 at Calvary Community Church at 1205 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. Go online to blood.ca for hours of operation. As the tagline states: “Blood: It’s in you to give.”

Idle some more . . .
I
f, as Proverbs instructs, idle hands are the devil’s playground, then idling vehicles must be the city’s Disneyland. An old bylaw prohibited the idling of commercial vehicles in residential area for more than three consecutive minutes. The revised bylaw adopted this week at Kamloops City Hall bans all vehicles within city limits from idling for more than three consecutive minutes — unless they are parked on private property. Or when it’s 20-below. Or when it’s 30-above. Or when stuck in traffic. Or when delivering goods that are perishable. Or when an RCMP cruiser has to, for some unfathomable reason, keep its engine running for an hour or two as its driver conducts crowd control at a Blazers’ game. There are enough exceptions to neuter this legislation and transform it from legislation to a suggestion, much like the bylaw that allegedly bans the use of cosmetic pesticides. Bylaws are, by their very nature, complaint-driven. City staff have said the strengthened anti-idling bylaw is being utilized as an educational, rather than an enforcement, tool. If a visit from a bylaws officer with respect to garbage cans being out early, a sprinkler watering on the wrong day or a car warming up too long brings with it an educational warning, rather than a fine, that is a great approach. But if the city is truly concerned about the effect of idling vehicles on the environment and the collective contribution of all that exhaust to greenhouse-gas emissions, then it needs to jar itself out of the per-
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom
MUSINGS petual feel-good proclamations and actually do something. Perhaps ridding the Tournament Capital landscape of the epicentre of idling — drive-thru lanes at restaurants and banks — would be a start. Until then, we can keep humming Kumbaya around the wildfires. Speaking of rather pointless, yet interesting, issues, let’s turn our attention to School District 73’s weird slash-and-dash bash. Later this year, the slash will legally become a dash as the Kamloops-Thompson (see the dash there? That is how KTW has been labelling it for years) school district has decided to legally change its name. Officially, it is the Kamloops/ Thompson school district. Once the name change is approved by the Ministry of Education, it will become the Kamloops-Thompson school district, with the slash (/) dividing Kamloops/Thompson becoming a dash (-). Why? Well, according to district secretary-treasurer Kelvin Stretch, the difference between a slash and
a dash is the difference between “either-or” and “and.” Obviously, the school district wants to be inclusive and embrace the “and.” “According to the rules of grammar, and the public’s general understanding, a slash is generally used to denote an ‘either-or’ circumstance,” Stretch wrote in a report to trustees. “Clearly, the ‘Kamloops-Thompson’ in the district’s name is meant to refer to a region that encompasses both the Kamloops and Thompson areas.” But that is where the error lies. There are 60 school districts in B.C. Seven have hyphenated names, six of which use the dash to separate two distinct geographical areas or cities.: NanaimoLadysmith, Cariboo-Chilcotin, Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows, NicolaSimilkameen, Kootenay-Columbia and Fraser-Cascade. Each of those districts spans more than one defined municipality or geographical area. Not so Kamloops-Thompson. The name itself makes no sense. Kamloops is part of the Thompson, being as the city lies in the Thompson Valley. There is not a Kamloops and Thompson; there is Kamloops within the Thompson. It is true that the KamloopsThompson school district was born in 1996 via an amalgamation of School District 24 (then known as “Kamloops”) and School District 22 (then known as “North Thompson”). But the name chosen is grammatically incorrect. Let’s call it the Thompson school district and let idle minds focus on something more substantial. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RENOVATIONS WILL MAKE GALLERY VANISH
A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online
Editor: The Kamloops Art Gallery is in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District Civic Building. When the building opened in August 1998, it had supporters and detractors. One detractor likened the building to a shoe factory. A change is now afoot to alter the building’s entrance. For two reasons the building’s most extraordinary aspect is the east end entrance. First, it is designed specifically to provide a visible public presence for the Kamloops Art Gallery. The entrance is deeply notched into the open courtyard, with the gallery’s massive windows bracketing one side of the courtyard, the library’s windows framing the other side and more windows surrounding and soaring above the entrance doors.
RE: STORY: DASH WILL AXE THE SLASH IN KAMLOOPSTHOMPSON SCHOOL DISTRICT GRAMMAR CHANGE:
Second, the view from outside through the glass around the entrance doors juxtaposes external with internal features. This view of railings, stairs, fixtures and bridges during the day — and lit up at night — is the signature focal design point of the building. Now, with one big stomp, the shoe factory analogy has proven prophetic with the addition of a boot department. Shoe-horned into the courtyard, this so-called building enhancement is intended to fill “the space that is currently just an open courtyard” (italics mine), according to the TNRD fact sheet preamble. Why so afraid of empty space? Why see an empty space as one that must be filled? The fill-in, according to the fact sheet, will “create a large foyer for hosting events” — yet
none of the tenants is in the business of hosting events, except occasional ones of their own. The addition is supposed to provide a “more visible entrance facing Victoria Street” (as if the massive concrete block facing Victoria Street, identifying the building’s tenants, isn’t enough) and, most tellingly, “improve the safety of the entrance area.” Neither the TNRD nor the City of Kamloops has been able to successfully address the problem of unwanted and bothersome activities in the courtyard. For want of a solution to deal with unruly people and disturbing activities, the gallery’s visibility — colourful, entertaining, intriguing and inviting — is being sacrificed. Perhaps a committee of building tenants and community members can spend the $866,000
earmarked for this unsightly addition on a better solution. In fact, city staff and urban planners have a great idea noted in the city’s Downtown Plan. TNRD directors and city council have unilaterally decided to make this change. There was no public consultation, no public open house and no public announcement in good time to allow comment. The artist’s rendering depicts a huge, clumsy addition. The clean lines and purposeful intent of the courtyard’s south and west faces are gone. The signature view of the external-to-internal features is gone. The blocky add-on obliterates the gallery’s windows, its presence — and the gallery disappears. Trish Keegan Kamloops
BEWARE: NOTHING CHANGES IF NOTHING CHANGES Editor: Re: KTW’s editorial of June 6 (‘Three choices? Or is it four?’) and the guest editorial of March 23 (‘The war on truth rages onward’): For “voices against change,” truth is unnecessary as long as the voices against change are believed. And the voices against change failed to use the obligatory pejorative “complicated” when referring to a voting system other than the so simple first-past-the-post. The voices against change have given
their decision. Now all we simple voters are expected to obediently follow. What about citizen-oriented democracy? In school, I was taught democracy is about all citizens. It seems I have been misinformed. The voices against change imply democracy is about giving voices against change what they want. The editorial claims getting the most votes is all that matters. Getting the most votes is not about fair-
ness. In an adversarial system, being unfair is the way to get the most votes. Voices for change advocate for a fair voting system in which the share of votes a political party receives equals the share of seats the party wins in the legislature equals the party’s share of power in the legislature. Why are we unworthy? Be informed, voters. Nothing changes if nothing changes. Ray Jones Kamloops

FAST RESPONSE LIMITS FIRE DAMAGE
Firefighters mop up after dousing a fire in a kitchen of a house in the 100-block of Aspen Street on the North Shore. Crews were called at about 12:30 p.m. on Thursday. Kamloops Fire Rescue Capt. David Sakaki said crews were three blocks away dealing with a fire alarm when the Aspen call came in. He said they rushed over to find smoke and flames billowing from the rear of the home. He said firefighters entered from the front of the house and pushed the fire out the back. Damage was limited to the kitchen and to walls of adjoining bedrooms. There were no injuries reported.
Welcome to the North Shore MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
It’s time to take the north out of the North Shore. In an effort to be more inclusive and distance itself from negative connotations associated with the area, the North Kamloops Business Improvement Association is rebranding as simply “The Shore.” “We’re not changing the name of the neighbourhood. It’s still North Kamloops,” said NSBIA executive director Jeremy Heighton. “This is our marketing brand, our attraction brand that we use to market out our business corridors on the shore.” The campaign will be replacing the longrunning “I Heart North Shore,” but a new moniker has not yet been revealed. Heighton noted it will not simply be “I Heart the Shore.”
“We just felt it was time for a refresh,” Heighton said. “It’s not about moving away from the I Heart North Shore. It’s about expanding on that vision to be a connected community.” Dropping the word “North” is meant to create a brand more inclusive of all the areas on that side of the river. “It doesn’t matter whether you’re in North Kamloops or Brock or Bachelor Heights or Westsyde — you’re all part of the Shore, you’re all on the Shore. It’s all-inclusive,” Heighton said. Getting away from the stigma of the name North Shore, which can be associated with negative social issues, is also part of the rebrand. “A lot of people, when you say North Kamloops or North Shore, they automatically do attach a stigma. It’s just the nature of what it’s always been,” Heighton said. The new name is already referenced on
the NSBIA’s website, but the official branding campaign won’t launch until September. It will involve changing the “I Heart Kamloops” banners that line Tranquille Road and the Welcome to the North Shore sign under the Tranquille Road overpass just past the north end of Overlanders Bridge, Heighton said. The NSBIA will also launch a secondary website — exploreourshore.ca — that will launch in the next few weeks, Heighton said. “It’s all about marketing people into the businesses,” he said. No grants have been obtained and the branding campaign is being funded by NSBIA membership to the tune of about $3,000. To celebrate the launch of the new brand, the NSBIA will conduct a scavenger hunt, dubbed Scavenge the Shore, in September. More events will be announced for 2019 at this year’s Brewloops on the Shore, which will run from Sept. 28 to Sept. 30.

Kamloops Mounties want the ability to ban gang members from local restaurants and bars. Police are talking with local businesses about implementing a public safety partnership called the Inadmissible Patrons Program. Similar arrangements have been in place for years in the Lower Mainland and Kelowna. “We’ve seen on the odd occasion people coming into bars and wearing their colours,” Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said during a public safety meeting earlier this year. “We certainly want to take a strong position on that.” Police can enter establishments if someone is committing a crime or if a patron refuses to leave upon request, violating the Trespass Act. Police otherwise require permission to enter private property. Cpl. Darren Angman told KTW that Kamloops RCMP wants permission from licensed establishments to eject and ban certain patrons to “discourage and deter violent acts in around Kamloops restaurants, bars and night clubs.” Angman said inadmissible patrons would include “anybody involved in organized crime and gang members. Anyone associated to organized crime or gang members. Anyone involved in the drug trade. Anyone that’s got a history of serious and/or violent criminal activity and anyone with a history
of firearms offences.” Two local establishments spoke to KTW on the condition of anonymity and said multiple venues in the city communicate with one another on an informal basis after a previous bar watch program fizzled out in the city. Asked if this type of program is needed, one restaurateur said it has become more difficult to identify drug dealers, who less often visibly flaunt gang ties. Another business representative said “we don’t know what we don’t know” when it comes to the potential for gangsters in the establishment, but noted an increased police presence would take pressure off bouncers and create a safer environment for patrons and staff. Angman said feedback thus far has been “positive.” Few additional details about the program were provided by police, who said operating procedures of the program will not be released to the public. “Basically, it would just mean that we’ve got the ability to go in and eject people from these establishments who meet the criteria I discussed and ban them from returning,” Angman said. “But again, it’s the establishments that are on board with the program.” Mueller told the city’s public safety committee a lack of a program in Kamloops has been attractive to people associated with organized crime. No timeline for implementation of the Inadmissible Patrons Program was provided to KTW.

Celebrating the First Steps of maintaining an education DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
The subject being taught by Erin Khelouiati is mathematics. The classroom contains just a few students — and one fivemonth-old being bounced in a baby seat while his mom does her studies. She sits across from another mom whose own one-year-old son is in an adjacent building with other little ones who spend their days in that day care while their moms work on finishing high school. This year, the First Steps program saw eight of these moms graduate with their adult Dogwood certificate. They leave the program not only completing traditional academic courses — English 12, Mathematics 12, physical education and others — but with something else, something program co-ordinator Maureen Hegadoren describes simply as learning “who you are and who do you want to be.” On Saturday, many former students and staff at the North Shore program will head to its two buildings on Kenora Road for a barbecue, a chance to reconnect and to celebrate 30 years of First Steps. Kent Brewer, principal for alternate and continuing education with the KamloopsThompson school district, oversees the program, which is a partnership between the district, Interior Community Services and the Boys and Girls
Club of Kamloops. It’s designed to support students who have had life experiences that interrupted their schooling. “The fact that the mothers can bring their young children to school and have them looked after next door — sometimes they even join their mothers in the classroom — is remarkable,” Brewer said. “This program is just another example of how School District 73 looks at community partnerships to provide innovative ways to support all students. This is yet another program that the city of Kamloops should be very proud of.” Jessica Simpson is the mom of the one-year-old in the day care, which is operated by the Boys and Girls Club. Since she started in First Steps last September, Simpson has moved ahead with her studies and, next school year, she will be relocating to NorKam senior secondary to finish her studies. Simpson will continue to be part of First Steps and is happy she can continue to have Tyler in its day care while she’s in class. Hegadoren said more than 300 girls and young women — it’s open to those between the ages of 14 and 24 — have gone through the program. Most are surviving on a low income. Completion doesn’t mean moving completely away for some, she said; the relationship that develops between staff and students is much like that of a family and many stay in touch. One former student has
children in their 20s and grandchildren. She will call or send a Christmas card, Hegadoren said, just to keep that connection. “You share your life with them,” Hegadoren said of the First Steps bond. There’s an emphasis on more than academics. A garden outside recently had its first cucumber and zucchini picked. There will be lessons on growing vegetables, canning and preserving and nutrition. As part of the food emphasis, there’s a hot breakfast waiting for the students when they arrive for classes and their children get breakfast, lunch and snacks at the day care. There is instruction on how to budget, how to do a job search and all the things that will help the students in their lives. There is also a focus on community engagement, on getting out and doing things. Earlier this month, they went fishing at Paul Lake, catching five and cooking up a couple of them to eat, Hegadoren said. Parenting support is in the classroom and at the day care. “Anything they need, we try to fit it in with the course work,” she said. There is a a wait list to get into the program, but Hegadoren said she encourages girls who are interested to call. Once they’re on the wait list, they will start to get referrals and other support from Hegadoren or part-time outreach worker Jen Stuart. For more information on First Steps, call 250-376-9119 or search First-Steps Waitlist on Facebook.

Kamloops council wants coloured syringes JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops council wants syringes to be brightly coloured so they are visible when improperly discarded. City council voted unanimously on Tuesday to send a letter to the community action team to support exploring options related to making syringes,
which are usually clear, more visible. The idea, recommended by the city’s social planning council, could result in plungers created in a bright colour, possibly fluorescent orange. “We could educate children that that colour spells danger, don’t touch, get an adult, whatever that might look like,” Coun. Tina Lange said.
Council got a look at the minutes from a community safety meeting in April and expressed further concern over syringes and the needles in them. Protective services director Byron McCorkell said while the city has been involved in needle cleanup for some time, the problem is increasing, with needles popping up on private

syringes/needles and safe injection sites this summer. “This is something that we have to work through both as a city, but we have to work through as a province and a nation,” Christian said. Coun. Donovan Cavers suggested a return program for needles, similar to how beverage containers are recycled. McCorkell said the idea has been discussed and noted there are 83 disposal bins in the city and collection via social agencies.

he said. “The other side of that is to educate people on what to do when they find a needle — how to handle it, where to put it, where to take it, who to phone, all those types of things. “The issue of the insecurity of the individual as far as the ‘Oh my God’ factor of the needle, I think we can dissipate that and give them some techniques where they can handle it and they can handle it themselves.” McCorkell also said residents need to “have a look around” and

property and residents seeing the issue firsthand. A Kamloops father earlier this year started a petition after his son was jabbed by a needle he found near their family’s home in Westsyde. McCorkell told council the city is working with social agencies and has spoken to Interior Health. “At this point, we’re hoping to create a mobile group that can go out and pick up needles on behalf of people who don’t know what to do with them,”
The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is calling on the province to provide financial support to volunteer fire departments after it cut funding earlier this year. The resolution is headed to the Union of BC Municipalities convention this fall. If approved, the UBCM will lobby the province, which does not contribute funding to local volunteer fire departments, making it “very challenging for small fire departments and communities,” the resolution states. The TNRD cut funding to unorganized fire departments earlier this year due to issues of liability surrounding minimum training and equipment stan-
dards set out by the province. “What our lawyers tell us is if we provide funding to a brigade or an unorganized volunteer fire department, it makes the regional district liable for any injuries those firefighters may face when fighting a fire,” TNRD chair John Ranta said. Some fire brigades in the region are holding referendums later this month to determine if their fire departments will move under the umbrella of the TNRD. Without funding, Pinantan Lake Fire Association president Allan Scramstad said liability insurance and fire-protection equipment for his community are paid for through donations, garage sales and 50-50 draws. He said service will remain “status quo,” but noted first responders play an important role in preventing forest fires.
“The TNRD has taken a stance that if they [volunteer fire departments/brigades] cannot work on the big fire department model, meaning two fire trucks and a fire hall, they don’t want to look at it,” Scramstad said. “A small community like ours can’t do that.” The TNRD, meanwhile, wants the province to set up a program to provide ongoing funding for capital infrastructure, equipment, training and administration of fire services. Asked where funding comes from if the province does not pitch in, Ranta said he didn’t know. “It’s up to the creativity of those fire brigades to determine where some funding can be provided,” he said. The UBCM Convention will be held in September.

Province planning steelhead sport fishery shutdown SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
DAVE EAGLES/KTW
BEHIND BARS FOR A GOOD CAUSE
Kamloops This Week sales representative Kate Potter awaits release at last week’s Jail and Bail event at Cascades Casino. The annual fundraiser for the United Way raised more than $53,000 this year, with the money going to programs that keep children fed. The event sees Kamloopsians volunteer to be “incarcerated” until they have raised their fundraising goal. In Potter’s case, it was $1,000.
The B.C. government is planning to shut down the coming steelhead trout sport fishery as fish return to the Thompson and Chilcotin rivers. Although the official word has yet to come down from government, one official, who asked not to be named, said the shutdown is “in the works.” The move would be the latest effort to save the steelhead, which have returned in diminishing numbers in recent years. Last year, fewer than 200 Thompson steelhead and fewer than 50 Chilcotin steelhead returned — the lowest levels since record-keeping began. On Feb. 13, the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (an advisory body to the government) assessed the Thompson River and Chilcotin steelhead as endangered and recommended an emergency order to place the fish on the endangered list under the federally controlled Species at Risk Act. That order would mean changes
to commercial fisheries, where bycatch — like steelhead caught incidentally alongside salmon — means increased mortality among stocks. So far, the federal government hasn’t taken action. Mike Simpson, Thompson region senior manager with the Fraser Basin Council, told KTW the province’s move might mean a little or it might mean a lot. “Well, this is the thing that’s been disputed. I don’t think there’s clear science on what the impact of sport fishing — catch and release only on Steelhead — I’ve heard some people say it’s only a one per cent mortality,” Simpson said. “I’ve heard other people say that it’s a lot and I know First Nations, who we engage on steelhead, don’t like that there’s any catch and release,” Simpson said. But whether the impact is small or large, Simpson said that might not matter. “Given that the numbers are so low, even if it is one per cent mortality, I think a lot of people would say it makes sense to have a sport fishing ban,” he said.

Singh wants to know cost of windrow work JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops councillor wants to know precisely how much it would cost to add snowwindrow management to the city’s snow-
removal budget. Windrows are barriers of snow that often build up at the end of driveways snow plows clear the road. Arjun Singh made a notice of motion on Tuesday to direct staff to research the impacts of
added service levels after the topic came up during a workshop last week on snow and ice control. City staff are requesting an additional $400,000 for extra equipment and staff, noting the snow-removal budget has not kept up with city growth in recent years. In 2018, the city received more calls about snow removal than in the two previous years.

summoned and paramedics initiated resuscitation measures, including the administration of Naloxone,” the report reads. “Mr. Seguin was then transferred to Royal Jubilee Hospital’s intensivecare unit, where testing confirmed the presence of fentanyl. “His condition deteriorated over the next few days and his
death occurred on Sept. 22, 2017.” According to the report, investigators found empty alcohol bottles in Seguin’s hotel room, but no illicit drugs. “Mr. Seguin’s medical history included past alcohol overuse, but no documented history of illicit substance use,” it reads.

Amid the heat, outdoor ice group’s survey says . . . JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops residents would like to see washrooms, music, lighting and food amenities at a refrigerated outdoor ice rink, if it were to be built in the city. The Kamloops Outdoor Skating Association recently surveyed people at the Brewloops block party and online. More than 450 people weighed in on the idea, which is in the early stages. Respondents were asked what would make the proposed rink among the top 10 best outdoor skating rinks in the country. Other recommendations for a great rink included a warming hut and change rooms, skate rentals, benches and supervision. One person suggested the facility have a disco theme, while others noted it should be located downtown, have a beer garden and include fire pits.
The city approved in February a $50,000 study to determine potential locations for a refrigerated ice rink and what it would cost. City of Kamloops civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said the city has engaged Urban Systems, while staff have visited Kelowna to meet with city administration about its outdoor-ice program. Work continues this summer, with Urban Systems holding stakeholder meetings with community groups, including the outdoor skating group and business improvement associations on each side of the river. Cost estimates and location options are expected in September, with proposals ready to go before council likely in time for 2019 budget deliberations, Putnam said. He said the city is looking at all areas for a potential location, with access to parking among factors considered. “The real driving factor would be the amenities and infrastructure.”

Toast replaces groundbreaking at The Station and twobedroom units — available for purchase in the 47-unit, mixed-use building. Knaak told KTW he thinks one reason the smaller units sold out first is because of their lower prices. “I think it’s a great opportunity for people to get into the ownership market with a monthly payment that’s significantly lower than what they’d be dealing with for rent,” he said. The micro-units are about $120,000 cheaper than the full-sized units and will be about 365 square feet in size. They range in price from $135,000 to $160,000. While the units are small, Knaak said they lend themselves well to the area for people who don’t want to spend too much time at home and would rather be out

The minuscule style of living is proving popular in Kamloops. All 24 micro-apartments up for sale in the six-storey Station on Tranquille apartment complex under construction at 280 Tranquille Rd. have sold out. “The reception on those has been absolutely incredible,” said Joshua Knaak, part owner of Arpa Investments, which owns the building, during a toast to the project held Wednesday amidst ongoing construction work. “I’m pretty excited to see it’s all coming together,” said Kamloops Coun. Kathy Sinclair, one of many who have already bought one of the tiny North Shore units. There are just 10 of 23 regular-sized —one

Donovan Cavers saluting the project’s progress.
enjoying the amenities of the North Shore. Rarely being home is one reason the microsuite lifestyle suits Sinclair. “I’m usually out and about at a meeting or something going on, so I don’t need a lot of space personally and I do a lot of socializing, but it’s usually outside of my home anyway,” she said. Mayor Ken Christian said he is excited about the micro-suites.
“These are a trend, I think, in terms of urbanization and in terms of densification and you guys are at the leading edge of this,” Christian said during the ceremony. Local dignitaries and business partners took part in the event held in lieu of a groundbreaking, which didn’t come to fruition when construction started in November due to poor weather.
Supplying the beer for the toast was Mitchell Forgie, co-owner of Bright Eye Brewing, which will open a brewhouse on the ground floor of the building. The brewery will sell only its product out of the storefront as it is committed to serving craft beer straight from the tank to ensure its freshness and flavour. “There will be basically no separation between you as the
diner and the brewery,” Forgie said. “The tanks are going to be right there. You can go up and touch them probably … and we’re going to be pouring from a tap that’s literally in the side of the tank.” The brewery will be located on the northwest corner of the building and feature a full kitchen and a tasting room, which will be the only place people can
buy Bright Eye’s beer. “With the idea that freshness is everything, we really wanted to be a quality-focused brewery and, therefore, we want to sell everything we make out of the front door,” Forgie said. The United Way is joining the brewery as one of just two commercial tenants that will be located on the ground floor. The building is about a year from completion.

A Kamloops son shot down and killed in the First World War will soon be honoured at the Kamloops Legion, 100 years after his death. Norman Stuart Harper was killed on a bombing mission over Lahr, Germany, on June 25, 1918. The bomber group he was in was attacked by hostiles and his plane was struck in the radiator and last seen being pursued by five enemy planes. On Wednesday,

His nephew, John Stuart Harper, who is named after his uncle and has also served in the military, will say a few words and present a memorial plaque. The elder Harper and his gunner, fellow Canadian D. G. Benson, were both killed the day they went down. While no information was given to the families at the time and the graves weren’t discovered until years

SEEKING THIEF WHO STOLE FIVE PAIRS OF OAKLEYS On Thursday, June 14, a man entered Nicola Eye Care, downtown at St Paul Street and Third Avenue. Once inside the store, he browsed about, all while concealing five pairs of Oakley sunglass frames. He then left the store, resulting in an $1,100 loss for the business. The culprit is tall, has dark hair and was wearing a dark-coloured long-sleeved shirt, grey shorts, orange and black shoes and white-framed sunglasses.

here are actually fewer migrants crossing the Mediterranean and landing in European Union countries this year than in any other recent year: only 37,000 so far, although the flow will increase with good summer weather. But they are nevertheless the last straw as far as some EU countries are concerned. Patience is running out. Last week, Italy’s new populist government stopped a ship that had just rescued 630 African migrants from the usual overloaded, sinking boats from coming into any Italian port. “Saving lives is a duty, turning Italy into a huge refugee camp is not,” said Matteo Salvini, Italy’s deputy prime minister, in a tweet. “Italy is done bending over backwards and obeying – this time THERE IS SOMEONE WHO SAYS NO.” Eventually, the even newer socialist government of Spain volunteered to take the migrants instead, although they had to endure several more days on open decks in poor weather before reaching Valencia. But it may have been a once-only gesture as the Spanish are also feeling very put upon. About two-million migrants have entered Europe claiming to be refugees since 2014, which doesn’t sound like an unbearable burden. After all, the EU has 500-million citizens. Turkey, with only 80-million people, has taken in about twomillion Syrian refugees. Heroic little Lebanon has let in about the same number, which is equal to almost half its own native population. But there are three factors that aggravate the situation in Europe. One is that the refugees in Lebanon have the same language, culture and religion as most of the Lebanese them-

WATCH selves. Even in Turkey, they tick two of the three boxes. The ones who reach Europe don’t tick any of those boxes. The second exacerbating factor is that only a few of the EU’s 28 countries are carrying almost all of the burden: Italy, Spain and Greece, where the migrant boats arrive, and Germany, which took in almost a million migrants in 2015. (That generous act is probably what cost Chancellor Angela Merkel a clear victory in last year’s election and forced her to instead cobble together a shaky coalition.) The final factor is that many of the migrants — maybe as many as half — aren’t traditional refugees fleeing war or persecution. They are simply people who hope for a better life in Europe than the one they left behind and are willing to face great risks and hardships to get it. About half the people on the migrant ship that Italy turned away, for example, were from Nigeria or Sudan. Neither country is at war and Nigeria is actually a democracy. So the humanitarian impulse is blunted by cynicism about the migrants’ motives and the very unequal distribution of the migrant burden among the various EU member states breeds conflict both between and inside those countries. The politics is already getting poisonous — and this is only a dress rehearsal for the real migrant apocalypse, which is not due for
another decade or two. Even now, many of the economic migrants are really climate refugees, although they would probably not use that phrase themselves. The family farm dried up and blew away and there are no jobs in the local towns, so some family member has to go to Europe, find a job and send cash home. This phenomenon is going to get a lot bigger. Last year, the global average temperature reached 1 C higher than the pre-industrial average and it is bound to rise at least another half-degree even if we do everything right starting tomorrow morning. It may rise by a lot more. The subtropical parts of the world, including those near Europe — the Middle East and the northern part of the African continent — already have hot, relatively dry climates. Global warming will make them hotter and drier still and cut sharply into food production. These regions also have by far the highest rates of population growth on the planet. The time will almost certainly come when large parts of the Middle East and Africa north of the equator will be unable to feed all their people and far larger numbers than now will abandon their homes and head for Europe. This vision of the future colours every decision they make about migrants even now, for the tougherminded among them know the borders will eventually have to be closed — even if it means leaving people to die. Most European leaders are still trying to balance the immediate humanitarian concern against that long-term strategic perspective, but they are gradually losing the struggle. And some, like the Polish, Hungarian, Austrian and Italian governments, have effectively decided to close the borders now. gwynnedyer.com

FAITH
The show-and-tell Christian faith
W
e read in the New Testament Book of Acts that when Saul of Tarsus was met on the way to Damascus by Jesus, he asked two questions: “Who are you, Lord?” and “What will you, Lord?” The first question referred to a desire for a personal knowledge of the one who had appeared to him; the second expressed readiness to do His will. These two questions, which were closely connected at the time of conversion of St. Paul, were inseparably associated with the rest of his life on earth. So must it be with the life of every new believer. The first step in the Christian life is to be followed by a lifelong relationship to the one who has revealed Himself to us. The second of these — “What shall I do, Lord?” — practically sums up everything from the moment of conversion onwards. It was in the lifelong willingness to know and to do what Jesus should reveal to him that the great Apostle Paul found the secret of peace and power, of satisfaction and of service. Those two questions reveal some of the aspects of the Christian life, when we begin our new life in Him. First, here we have the divine

FAITH
purpose. “The God of our Fathers has appointed you to know His will,” Jesus said to him. The will of God is the first and the last thing in His revelation of Himself to us. To know and to do the will of God is everything. In the Psalms, we hear the coming Messiah using these words: “Lo, I come to do Thy will, O my God.” When God would describe the ideal man, it is in these words: “A man after mine own heart, who shall fulfil all my will.” When we think of that model prayer for all disciples in all generations, the culminating point of the first part, which has to do with the divine glory and purpose, is, “Thy will be done.” If we are concerned with the salvation of mankind, we read, “It is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones
should perish.” If we are concerned about the sanctification of the believer, we read, “This is the will of God, your sanctification.” And if, looking forward to the future, we think of the home above and we at once recall the words of the Master, “Father, I will that they may be with me where I am.” So in everything and from all points of view, to know God’s will is everything. It gives joy, dignity, power and glory to life. Second, the divine plan: “To see the Righteous One, and hear the voice of His mouth.” For the realization of the divine purpose, this was the divine plan. First, personal contact with Jesus: “To see the Righteous One.” The sight of Jesus was to be everything to Saul all through his life. But in what respect Saul was to see Him? To see Him as “the Righteous One.” What is this sight of Jesus as the Righteous One? On the eve of His crucifixion, the Lord told the disciples that

the Holy Spirit was coming to convict the world of righteousness because “I go to the Father.” The world’s impression of Jesus at that time was that He was an “unrighteous” One, and they put Him to death. But He would not have been allowed to go to the Father had He been other than righteous. Saul was convicted of that very thing. “I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are persecuting.” He would have been able to say, “I never persecuted Him!” Jesus was thus revealed to be with the Father, and therefore, righteous. But a part of the divine plan was also a personal communication from Jesus — not only to “see that Righteous One,” but “to hear the voice of His mouth.” What a blow to the pride of Saul this must have been — to hear the voice of His mouth, the voice of the One from Nazareth, the One whom he had been persecuting, to hear the voice of God’s will.
No wonder from then on, the restored Saul-turned-Paul, went on to share the power of a changed life to others. Paul was in Jerusalem among his old friends. He had a great crowd around him. Now, is the opportunity for ability eloquence? No, nothing of the kind, but for a personal witness of what Jesus Christ had been to him. There is no greater foe to Christianity today than mere profession. There is no greater discredit to Christianity today than to stand up for it and yet not to live it in our lives. There is no greater danger in the Christian world today than to stand up for the Bible, and yet to deny that Bible by the very way we defend it. There is no greater hindrance to Christian faith today than to contend for orthodoxy, whatever that orthodoxy may be, and to deny it by the censoriousness, the hardness, the unattractiveness with which we champion our cause.

The rusting structures that form the playground at Pinantan elementary will not be replaced with new equipment any time soon. The school’s parent advisory council was not successful in its bid to have its project finish in the top three in the annual BCAA Play Here Contest. The top three vote-getters receive up to $100,000 in playground improvements. The playground at Cache Creek elementary, which is 45 minutes from Kamloops and in the Gold Trail school district, was among the winners.
No BCAA cash for Pinantan DALE BASS

The families at Pinantan elementary didn’t make it to the top three in the BCAA Play Here competition — but they plan to continue their push to see their playground upgraded. The annual event, which has up to $100,000 go to the top three proposals submitted, saw online voting put Cache Creek elementary, École North Oyster on Vancouver Island and
Mackenzie Recreation Centre/ John Dahl Park in northern B.C. at the top of the competition among 10 proposals. Nikki Williams, who helped promote the Pinantan submission, said the school community “feels forgotten about in SD73. “No money has been spent by the school board on updating our playground in decades. What’s it going to take to have a proper, safe play structure put in at the school?” she asked. “A rusty chain on a swing breaking and a child hurting or
killing themselves from that? “Would the school board rather spend money on a structure now or a future possible lawsuit?” The equipment at the school dates back to the 1960s and is rusty and broken. The provincial government stopped providing funding for playground years ago, but it was reintroduced this year. School District 73 applied for and received money to upgrade the Summit elementary playground.
Quartet will have busy summer Four Kamloops students will be taking part in a national enrichment and entrepreneurship program for high school students. The one-month program, which begins July 1, will see the students travel to universities, where they will focus on science, technology, engineering, arts and math.

Local wineries win big in Canadian championships Kamloops wineries brought back 10 medals from the 37th annual All Canadian Wine Championships, which were held in Ontario earlier this month. Monte Creek Ranch Winery won double-gold medals for its 2016 sparkling reserve (sparkling Charmat style) and 2016 chardonnay under $20. It also received a gold medal for its 2015 cabernet merlot (bordeaux blends under $30).
“We are overjoyed to have won a number of medals, including two best in category double golds,” said Monte Creek winemaker Galen Barnhardt. Privato Winery received double-gold for its 2015 Tesor pinot noir over $30 and 2014 Grand Reserve pinot noir older vintages. “We are very pleased with this accolade, but to win two double golds in two different categories of pinot noir is such an incred-
ible honour for us,” said Privato owner and winemaker John Woodward. Harper’s Trail Winery was given a double gold for its 2016 cabernet franc under $30. ”Winning such a prestigious award affirms the local terroir and quality from our Thadd Springs Vineyard here in the Kamloops Thompson Valley, said Harper’s co-owner Vicki Collett. Meanwhile, Celista Estate Winery east of Chase won a
double gold medal for its Celista Cuvee white wine. “Winning medals in such a prestigious national championship is a strong statement to the quality of our wines,” said Jake Ootes, who his wife Marg own and operate Celista Estate Winery. “The double gold is a real thrill for us. Our effort is to continue to produce the highest quality wines.” The championships included
1393 wines from 492 wineries across Canada. All wines were judged on the 100 point system by a panel of 20 wine experts from six provinces. A double-gold medal is awarded to the single highest rated wine in a specific category. Privato is at 5505 Westsyde Rd. Harper’s Trail is at 2761 Shuswap Rd. Monte Creek is at 2420 Miner’s Bluff Rd. Celista is 2319 Beguelin Rd. in Celista.

Finding peace in Fiji’s sacred Sawa I Lau Caves DONNA YUEN
TRAVEL WRITERS’ TALES
F
rom ten-headed Gods to romantic young love, Fiji’s Sawa I Lau Caves are steeped in legend and beauty. It is said they are the home of the God Ulutini, described as an entity with 10 heads, nine of which take on the form of snakes and the last, of an exceptionally beautiful human with a jewel-encrusted forehead. Folklore also claims that two fish and an eel reside here. Maintained by the cave’s magic, they do not grow or age. I am eager for adventure as we push off with a crew of cave guides from the Fiji Princess, one of the Blue Lagoon Cruise ships. Although excited about the excursion, my anxiety heightens as we cruise through the northern part of the Yasawa Islands. We are on our way to the sacred Sawa I Lau Caves for a swim. But I’m more of a sinker than a swimmer. With a few near-drowning experiences in my life, the prospect of gliding through a water tunnel into a dark cavern is, in fact, somewhat terrifying. But I’ve heard that it’s safe and after witnessing the stunningly clear Fijian waters, I’m up for the challenge. These remote islands were made famous from the The Blue Lagoon, a movie that launched the acting careers of Brook Shields and Christopher Atkins back in 1980. This popular flick also drew attention to the rugged tropical beauty of the Fijian islands. As well as being home to this Hollywood romance, the caves were once the site for another love story. According to local tradition they had been the hiding spot for a young chief and his bride, who were to be married, in spite

of a rival chief. The young man brought food and water daily to his bride’s hideout until the couple were able to escape to a neighbouring island where, reportedly, they lived together happily ever after. Although the young lovers are long gone, some locals believe the
sacred cave continues to be the home to Ulutini. I gather my snorkelling gear as we arrive at Sawa I Lau, an area that’s known as the heart of the Yasawas, and climb a short stairwell into the cave. Vague inscriptions adorn the ancient limestone walls. Shafts of light,
from an opening in the cave top, illuminate the crystal-clear waters. Once inside, a ladder descends immediately into the sea. The cool water soothes both my skin and anxiety. I lay back, floating and gazing up at the blue sky.

This is my first cave swimming experience and I feel exhilarated. A Fijian boy climbs the steep mossy limestone walls of the cave and dives into the deep waters, thrilling all spectators. Locals swim with their families and the sound of children frolicking echoes throughout the cavernous space. The experienced guides at Blue Lagoon Cruises are wonderfully patient as they reassure me that I can access the inner dark cave with little difficulty. I feel comforted knowing that they are all local and have years of experience with what they are doing. My leader dives under the rock curtain and disappears into the water tunnel. As I build my courage to dive down, the second guide explains that the tunnel is very short and I just need to dive a little deeper. Fear takes over as I peer beneath at the dark rocky wall. I take a deep breath and commit to the water tunnel but soon realize I have not dived low enough. Before I have time to panic, a hand is on the small of my back giving me a forceful push downward. And after a few more strokes through the black water I’ve cleared the rock curtain and have surfaced to see another guide holding a flashlight and my much-loved floatation noodle. I did it. The guide’s torch casts a dim glow on the ceiling of the cave as I float about. I’m relaxed and confident in my ability to exit via the water tunnel again. Just before making the return journey something brushes against my leg in the dark water. Likely it’s just another snorkeler. But, then again, maybe the locals are right and Ulutini, the ten-headed Fijian God, is still around. I decide it’s time to leave and welcome the swim through the water tunnel and back into Fiji’s daylight once again.

Pair of Blazers hopeful ahead of NHL draft Kamloops forwards Jermaine Loewen and Brodi Stuart will have cellphones close at hand this weekend MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
J
ermaine Loewen and Brodi Stuart, like anyone else with interest in the Kamloops Blazers, have watched while major organizational changes this off-season have altered the face of the franchise. Not forgotten, but certainly placed on the back burner, is buildup to the NHL Draft this weekend, when both of the Blazers’ forwards may take another step toward playing professional hockey. “I honestly have no clue what’s going to happen,” said Stuart, pegged 129th among North American skaters in NHL Central Scouting’s final rankings, which were released in April. “It’s pretty cool. Growing up, that’s something you’ve always wanted to do. It’s kind of cool to realize it’s coming up pretty soon.” Stuart had 16 goals and 38 points in 70 games in the 20182019 campaign, his 17-year-old season, and the Langley product was named the Blazers’ rookie of the year. Loewen’s path toward pro hockey has been less traditional, having already been passed on twice in the NHL Draft. The 6-foot-4, 221-pound lefthand shot from Arborg, Man., had a breakout season in 2018-2019, leading the Blazers in points, with 64, and goals, with 36, in 66 games. “I’ve talked to scouts from a few different [NHL] teams,” Loewen said. “They project me to go in the later rounds, sixth or seventh, because of my age, which I understand. “It’s nothing against me or my ability, but it would be taking a chance on a guy who has potential and a lot of room to get better.” Loewen, 20, is aiming to become the second Jamaican-
KTW FILE PHOTO Kamloops forward Jermaine Loewen is hoping to one day become the second Jamaican-born hockey player to crack the roster of an NHL team. The 20-year-old said he has spoken to “scouts from a few different teams” ahead of this weekend’s NHL Draft, which will take place in Dallas.
“They project me to go in the later rounds, sixth or seventh ...”

born player to crack an NHL roster, the first being Graeme Townshend. The Kamloops forward was adopted, moved to
Canada and did not start playing organized hockey until he was 10. The Blazers’ 2017-2018 MVP is ranked 160th among North
American skaters heading into the draft. Stuart and Loewen took part in the Toronto Maple Leafs’ scouting combine earlier this month, along with a pair of prospects from Kamloops: Ryan Chyzowski and John Ludvig.
Chyzowski, a right-shot forward who turned 18 in May, had 52 points, including 21 goals, in 72 games with the Medicine Hat Tigers last season. He is 95th on Central Scouting’s list. See ‘IT’S A PRETTY COOL,’ A31

CALGARY — Canadian Olympic speedskater Josie Morrison has announced her retirement from competitive speedskating. The 24-year-old from Kamloops placed fourth as a member of Canada’s team pursuit squad and 21st in the 1,500 metres at the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Morrison stepped on the podium for the first time at the international level last year, winning

‘It’s a pretty cool experience’ National sports bodies
must report allegations or risk losing funding, federal minister says
From A29
Ludvig, a left-shot defenceman who turns 18 in August, had two goals and seven points in 51 games with the Portland Winterhawks last season. He finished the campaign plus11 and is ranked 137th pre-draft. The draft will be held on Friday and Saturday in Dallas. “I’m just going to make sure my phone is charged up,” said Loewen, who is working at an orchard and training in Kelowna this summer. “I’m pretty sure something good will happen, even if I don’t get drafted. I’ve been in contact with a few teams.” Stuart, who will graduate from Langley secondary on Thursday, is trying not to speculate as to what might happen over the weekend. “I’ll probably just go to the gym and have my phone close by,” he said. “Either way, it’s a pretty cool experience that it’s come to this point.” Blazers’ defenceman Montana Onyebuchi, who turned 18 in March, did not crack Central Scouting’s rankings, but may be on some teams’ draft radar.

OTTAWA — Sports Minister Kirsty Duncan says national sporting organizations will lose their federal funding if they don’t immediately disclose to her office any allegations of abuse or harassment that occur within their ranks. Changes to funding agreements that are effective immediately also require sporting associations to establish an independent third party to investigate all allegations of abuse and have mandatory prevention training in place by April 2020. The changes come as the sporting world reels from numerous cases of sexual abuse and harassment of athletes, including more than a dozen members of Canada’s national ski team who were abused by coach Bertrand
Charest in the 1990s. Charest was convicted a year ago of 37 offences of sexual assault and exploitation — and athletes have since said Alpine Canada told them to keep quiet about the abuse for fear of losing corporate sponsorships. The changes won’t currently ensure sport associations in every province will be made aware of all abuse allegations to prevent coaches or officials who are accused in one province from moving to another province without their new employer knowing of the allegations. Sport Canada officials also say they aren’t in a position now to mandate the “rule of two,’’ which would prevent athletes from being alone with a single coach or trainer or other sporting association official for any significant period of time.

November and stop monkeying around with my beloved CFL
E
vidently, Mother Nature is a CFL traditionalist with a wicked sense of irony. The 60-year-old league began the 2018 season last week with the earliest game in history that turned out to the be the secondlongest contest ever played. Starting the season earlier was a goal of new commissioner Randy Ambrosie and league governors, who cited two reasons: to address player safety and to secure better weather. After Edmonton’s thrilling 33-30 win in a lightning-plagued game that lasted five hours and 40 minutes, we can say the CFL’s record in reasons for the early start to the season is 1-1. The game in Winnipeg began at 7:38 p.m. Manitoba time on Thursday, June 14, and ended at 1:20 a.m. on Friday, June 15, with halftime replaced by two weather delays totalling almost three hours. Prior to kickoff, Ambrosie met with reporters to discuss football matters and talk turned to the early start to the season. “Wouldn’t it be great to play more and more in conditions like this?” Ambrosie asked as fans arrived amid sun and warmth. The answer is “No” — not when one factors in the ferocious wind, damaging hail, funnel clouds, tornado warnings and lightning that followed. Meanwhile, the

game that seemed to spark this nonsensical campaign to pull the CFL from late fall and into spring — last year’s magical, snowy Grey Cup in Ottawa — featured zero delays and was the most-watched title tilt since 2013, with one-third of all Canadians tuning in at some point. Inclement weather in the latter part of the CFL season, including the West and East finals and the Grey Cup games, is part of the league’s lore. There is a certain charm to the fact the Grey Cup champion may have to battle the elements when the big game is not held in Vancouver. The 2018 CFL schedule is actually a fantastic creation in that it starts the season earlier (satisfying fans itching for football after a long and cold winter) and retains the Grey Cup date in late November (this year’s game will be in Edmonton on Nov. 25), as God intended. In between are three bye weeks for all teams, thereby giving players ample opportunity to rest and eliminating past scheduling quirks
that had some clubs playing three games in a span of only 11 days. The schedule gets three-down football going earlier and addresses player safety. But it appears the energetic commissioner and the league’s governors still want to pull back the end of the season in an effort to have the Grey Cup game less susceptible to wacky weather that has long helped create legendary contests. Last year, two days before the Grey Cup game, Ambrosie told the Ottawa Sun the league was in talks with the NFL Network to air games on that platform south of the border, a deal that could alter the schedule as the NFL Network wants programming for the months between seasons — February through August. “I’d like to see the Grey Cup earlier,” Ambrosie was quoted as saying. “It won’t happen for 2018, but for 2019, it’s possible. I’d like to see it maybe the third week of October. He was at it again last week in Winnipeg when talking about a title game amid pumpkins. “We’ve been looking at it and talking about some data around weather and I think it just gives you a better chance of not having a sub-zero, cold-weather day,” Ambrosie said to reporters. I don’t want a “better chance of not having a sub-zero, cold-weather day.” The CFL playoffs are all about sub-zero, cold-
celebrate
weather days. It’s tradition that should not be tampered with. • Speaking of tradition, the Canadian Football League is unique in that the opening game of the season usually features a rematch of the previous year’s Grey Cup. It’s a scheduling stroke of brilliance that was, for the first time since 2013, eliminated this year. Instead of the 2018 season opening with Calgary and Toronto, that Grey Cup rematch was pushed to the second week. Bad move on the league’s part. • It is good to see the league has recognized the sanctity of the Labour Day (and following week) classics by having Calgary/Edmonton, Saskatchewan/ Winnipeg and Toronto/ Hamilton play the traditional back-to-back games. Montreal and Ottawa, another geographical rivalry, will play on the Labour Day weekend, but not the following week. There have been deviations in past years, but the four rivalry games should be cemented in every schedule. If the Atlantic Schooners ever take the field, B.C. and the Maritimes can join the back-to-back fun with a coast-to-coast challenge. editor@kamloops thisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

MORTGAGE MATTERS Understanding Mortgage Closing Costs Many homebuyers are startled to learn that after they arrange their mortgage they have to pay a range of additional fees to finalize the transaction. These are some of the most common costs:

Longtime Rivershore member Ken McClelland chips onto the green on the second hole during opening day of the Overlanders Senior Men’s Golf Tournament at Rivershore on Tuesday. The event, which wrapped up on Wednesday, was won by Marine Drive’s Doug Roxburgh, who posted a pair of 69s to finish -6 in sweltering heat. Roxburgh was four strokes ahead of his closest competitor, Vancouver’s Steve Savage. The top Rivershore member was Greg Jackson, who carded a 74 and a 75 to finish fifth. Lance McGregor of Kings Links took the top spot among super seniors with a 77 and a 74, besting runner-up David Palmer by nine strokes.
Blazers sign another prospect The Kamloops Blazers have inked another prospect selected in last month’s WHL Bantam Draft. Coquitlam product Matthew Seminoff has signed a standard WHL player agreement with the Blazers. The forward was selected by the team in the fifth round, 93rd overall in the May 3 draft. Seminoff played last season with the Burnaby Winter Club, putting up 12 goals and 13 assists for 25 points in 30 games.
“We are very excited that Matthew has decided to continue his development with the Kamloops Blazers organization,” Blazer general manager Matt Bardsley said in a press release. “He competes in all areas of the ice while adding speed and a good skill set. As one of the youngest players in the WHL Bantam Draft this past season, he also plays a very mature game. We feel he has a high ceiling and look forward to watching his game develop.”
The five-foot-nine, 147pound winger is among 60 players that will participate in B.C.’s Male U16 Provincial Camp in Shawnigan Lake this summer. He will be vying for a spot on Team B.C. for the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer. Seminoff is the fourth Kamloops selection from the 2018 draft to sign with the club. He joins prospects Logan Stankoven (first round), Logan Bairos (second round) and Caedan Bankier (third round).
The Weekly Soccer Roundup is Brought To You By:
Property transfer tax – Not applicable to first time home buyers or buyers of mobile homes on leased land. This tax is 1% of the first $200,000 and 2% of any amount over and above. Lawyer’s Fees – These vary depending on the service required, on whether you use a lawyer or a notary and on the agency. A rough quote could range between $950 and $1400 in Kamloops for a basic home purchase. Mortgage Appraisal Fees – Lenders often require an appraisal to establish the current market value of a property. The appraiser values the home based on recent comparable sales, and estimates the selling price if it had to sell in less than 90 days. Appraisal costs start around $300 and up. Title insurance – These items serve to protect the lender from improvements (think fences, shed or house) built accidentally on a neighbouring property, title fraud and other issues related to the property. Average costs $250 for a single detached home. Fire Insurance – Fire insurance is required by most lenders as a condition for funding a mortgage. Speak to a local insurance agency for rates, contents coverage options and more. Home Inspection – This is peace of mind protection for the buyer. It involves an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, and serves to educate the buyer about the home, issues arising and associated repair costs. This service starts at around $480 and up. Property Tax and Prepaid Utilities Adjustments – If the previous owner prepaid property taxes or other utilities, they will be added to the buyer’s costs on closing. Alternately, if the owner owes taxes or utilities, this amount will be added as a credit for the buyers at closing. Good budgeting starts with good information. Speak to me about your buying situation and avoid surprises.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Colin Lee Cromarty It is with the deepest sorrow we announce that Colin Lee Cromarty passed away suddenly of natural causes on June 8, 2018 in Kamloops. Colin was a vigorous 55 years young at the time of his passing. Colin, or Lee as he was known to his friends and loved ones, was born into a military family in Barrie, Ontario. Colin attended schools in Alberta, Belgium, Ontario and British Columbia, graduating from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor’s in Psychology and a combined Masters in Sociology and Psychology. Fiercely proud of his Métis heritage, Colin worked with many First Nation, Provincial and regional family services organizations in Victoria, Kamloops, Bella Coola and Nakusp, capping his professional career as a clinical psychologist at the Prince Albert Saskatchewan Penitentiary. Colin lost his mother Helen in 2012, but leaves behind father Victor, brother Victor Jr. (Danielle), his mother’s younger brother James Laird and many many beloved aunts, uncles, cousins and friends. There will be no service by request, with a gathering to be held at a later date.
Ruth Leona Fuller (Williams) June 25, 1923 – June 15, 2018
It is with sadness and joy that we announce that our dear Mom, Mother-in-law, Grandmother, Aunt, Friend and Prayer Warrior, went to be with her Lord and Saviour on June 15, 2018 and is now in his Presence resting in His welcoming arms. Ruth was born in Burford, Ontario in 1923 to Frank and Violet Williams. She became a little sister to her older brothers Cliff and Roy whom she adored. She was very proud to show them off, especially when they came calling in their uniforms. When the love of her life Ernie returned from war they were married the very next weekend on July 7, 1945. Ernie and Ruth moved from Lethbridge to New Westminster to Surrey and lastly to Kamloops in 1966. Ruth loved God and her family with all of her heart raising four children and fostering many more. Our home was a welcome refuge for friends, family and animals. Mom was predeceased by her dad and mom, her husband Ernie, brothers and sisters-in-law Cliff and Freida Williams and Roy and Doris Williams. Mom is survived by her children Lynda (Dennis) Seib, Rick Fuller, Roy (Carole) Fuller, Lisa Fuller (Bryce Herman) and grandchildren Tanya (Matt) O’Neill, Chris Seib, Trevor Fuller and Roy Fuller Jr. The family wishes to thank Dr. Howie and the amazing Staff at Kamloops Seniors Village for their kindness and loving care. They too fell in love with Mom’s sense of humour and gentle soul. Many times, staff could be found sitting with Mom enjoying a conversation while Mom listened not only with her ears but most importantly with her heart.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to your local SPCA in Colin’s name.
A Celebration of Life and her 95th birthday will be held on Monday, June 25, 2018 at 2:00 pm in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC.

Ray Bertoli
May 16, 1931 – June 22, 2016
HE ONLY TAKES THE BEST God saw he was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So he put his arms around him and whispered, “Come with me.” With tear filled eyes we watched him suffer and fade away. Although we loved him deeply, we could not make him stay. A Golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands put to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
Lots of Love
Brother Ross (Moe) and Sisters Jean and Betty (Edson)

In Loving Memory of Ray Bertoli
May 16, 1931 – June 22, 2016
Doreen was born in Penticton, BC on July 17, 1938. After marrying Keith in 1956, they moved to the Kamloops area. In 1963, they relocated to Powell River where they lived until 1983 before returning to Kamloops. When Doreen wasn’t tending her gardens or spending time with family and friends, she was often out walking. For many years she was an active member of the Thursday morning bowling league at Falcon Lanes. She also enjoyed knitting and crocheting slippers, afghans and baby sweaters. The family would like to thank Dr. Montalbetti, the nurses in ICU and 3 West as well as the staff at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for taking such wonderful care of Doreen.
I Love You
There will be an informal Celebration of Doreen’s Life on Saturday, July 14, 2018 at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC from 1:00 to 3:00 pm.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Pearl Evelyn Thompson Pearl was born on October 20, 1928 and passed away peacefully in her sleep on June 12, 2018 at the age of 89 years. Pearl was predeceased by her husband Bradley, parents Stan and Minnie and brothers Frank and Doug. She leaves to mourn her passing her children Kathleen (Darrell), Alexis (Bram) and Ian as well as her two grandsons Nick and Jake (Dominique) and her furbabies Rusty, Baby and Luna. As a young girl, Pearl’s dream was to be a teacher, but she was forced to quit school to look after her ailing mother in grade 9. When her children were younger, Pearl fulfilled her childhood dream by teaching/mentoring many children through teaching Sunday School as well as being a Brownie and Girl Guide leader and Commissioner. Through the years, we have heard how Mom impacted the young ladies she worked with. Brown Owl will never be forgotten. If anyone needed a hand, you had to look no further than Pearl. Mom was always looking at ways to help people. She was very active in the Women’s Institute over the years…her Fiesta Beans were always requested at catered events the WI were involved in. She ran the thrift shop for many years and lots of laughter could be heard from the kitchen as she and Dora sorted clothing. Mom was also involved in the Legion and the Fall Fair. When Mom was named the “Citizen of the Year” she was so proud! Such a highlight for her to be recognized for the many, many volunteer hours she put in to make her community a better place. Back in the day, Mom was an avid bingo player;
In Loving Memory of
when she wasn’t running the WI one, she was making treks to other games. In her later years, she discovered her love of darts. She travelled to many seniors games winning gold medals. She was so proud of her medals. As her health deteriorated and Mom became more of a shut in, her social outlet became the wonderful care aides from High Country who came to help her throughout the day. She so looked forward to their daily visits; she would give them “her attitude” and loved to get it back. Mom moved to Ponderosa Care Facility in December 2017. As dementia took its nasty grip on her life, the “fun” Pearl slowly faded but the care aides all loved her. They had tears in their eyes as Mom’s time here on earth neared its end. Our family cannot thank the amazing caregivers from High Country and Ponderosa enough for their kind and loving care. A Memorial Tea will be held on Saturday, June 30, 2018 from 1:00 – 3:00 pm in the basement of the Royal Canadian Legion in Chase. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you please make a donation in Mom’s name to the Alzheimer’s Society of Canada. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director
Every Friday in KTW!
Q. Mom never told me what to do with her ashes. Ideas?
This is my good bye, Red. You went so fast and died alone. You were a love beyond my wildest dreams. Your love was boundless too. What are the chances of crossing a continent and finding you. The story of our lives goes far beyond my wildest dreams. You are by my side in my heart.
So greatly missed. Love, Sara
A. The executor/next of kin has the final say. I hope you’ll decide as a family, and take your time. No going back once they’re scattered on the mountain. Call me for my 8 page booklet: Drake’s Guide to Scattering. There’s a reference to the IKEA commercial…remember: “Start the Car!”

Persida Puharich Persida was born on July 9, 1928 and passed away peacefully on June 19, 2018. Persida (née Danilovic) was born in a small village in Yugoslavia, she had two brothers Peter and Branco and a sister Miriam. Life was not easy growing up in Yugoslavia and her family had to endure being exiled from Croatia at the onset of WWII. After the war her family returned to their farm where, as a teen, she met and married Marko. With dreams of a better life and nothing other than the clothes on their backs they fled Yugoslavia in the dark of the night and ran on foot over the Slovenian Alps to Austria. It was at the refugee camp in Salzburg where their oldest son George was born. They were put on a boat headed for Canada and settled in Hamilton, Ontario where their other two sons Dushan and Stevan were born. Eager for adventure, Marko and Persida travelled across Canada to BC and chose Chase to retire to. For many years, they maintained a house in Ontario, one in Florida and one in Chase, driving between the three every year. Persida was extremely talented at any hand work she attempted including pine needle basket weaving, crocheting, shell work and various needle crafts to name a few. She enjoyed working in her gardens where she grew wonderful flowers. She attended church

whenever possible and met many friends along the way. Persida loved her grandchildren and greatgrandchildren with all her heart. She looked forward to visits from them whenever they could. She cherished time with children the most. Persida was predeceased by her husband Marko, grandson Dallas, her parents, brothers and sister. She is survived by their three sons George (Wendy) of Chase, Dushan (Val) of Victoria and Stevan (Lisa) of Kamloops, grandchildren Ani, Krystyna, Marcus, Erik, Boris and Mila, greatgrandchildren Khoen, Diondre, Sawyer, Kane and Eli. Graveside Service will be held on June 22, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Hillside Cemetery, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Kamloops Hospice Association would be greatly appreciated.

Jacquelyn McMurray It’s with deep sadness that we announce Jacquelyn McMurray passing peacefully surrounded by family after a long courageous battle with cancer on June 6, 2018. Jackie was born on October 6, 1958 in Winnipeg, Manitoba. She is survived by her loving husband Randy, daughter Megan Funk (Michael) of Winnipeg, MB, daughter Erica Rowe and beloved grandson Lukas Rowe of Kamloops, BC, sister Michele of Winnipeg, MB, brothers Bryan (Margaret) of Shingletown, California, Roland (Carolyn) of Prince George, BC, Patrick (Cathy) of Prince George, BC, Gene (Cheryl) of Langley, BC, and Richard (Diana) of Calgary, AB, as well as many extended family members. She was predeceased by her mother Marjorie and father George. Jackie spent many years in Kamloops, BC, having moved from Winnipeg in 1980. She moved back to Winnipeg in the fall of 2011. She was a loving mother, wife, daughter, and granny, as well as a devoted friend to all that came to know her. Her enjoyments in life were family, music, ending her day with a bubble bath and tending to her gardens, both vegetable and flower. Jackie’s kind and caring nature permeated everything she did, and her absence will be forever felt. Her family would like to extend a special thanks to Dr. Marshall Pitz and staff at CancerCare Manitoba in Winnipeg for their dedication, care and concern over the past three and a half years. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in her name to CancerCare Manitoba.

The Intruders reunite for one last performance Class of ‘68 reunion prompted return for 55-year-old River City band MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
he band is getting back together. As Don Allen pours over old photos, newspaper clippings and tickets of his old band, The Intruders, he’s reminded of fun times past. “This was a picture we took, a takeoff of the Beatles. You know their [album] Abbey Road? So we called it Flabby Road,” Allen said laughing at an old black-and-white photo of the band crossing a crosswalk in downtown Kamloops imitating the iconic Beatles album cover. “The Intruders last blast — yeah we’ve had lots of those,” he said reading an old ticket. “We’ve said in the past that
several of our gigs were the last time, but we keep rising like a Phoenix.” From 1963 to 1971 and off and on again in the ‘90s and 2000s, The Intruders rocked the River City music scene. Next Saturday at the Kamloops Curling Club, in conjunction with a historic 50-year high school reunion for Kam High’s class of 1968, the cover band will take the stage one last time — and this time they mean it, though it’ll be tough to say goodbye. “We have so many fans and friends who have such a great time when we play. It will be sad to let go of that, but the reality is we’re getting older,” said the 68-year-old Allen. “It takes everything you got out of you and honest to God I
The photo Don Allen calls “Flabby Road” — a take on the famous Beatles album cover, except this one was shot in Kamloops.
MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW Don Allen holds up a newspaper clipping with a photo showing, from left, Bill Filek, Richard Askew, Ken Heathfield and himself, featured in the Kamloops Daily Sentinel, dated March 26, 1968.
can’t talk the next day,” he said. “We leave it all on the stage.” Joining lead vocalist Allen for the final show are original band members Dale “T-Bone” Walker on guitar, Doug Perry on bass and Bill Filek on guitar. Other current band members include Kris Ruston on keyboard and guitar and Lyle Shepherd on drums. The high school reunion was actually the impetus for the show, as Allen, Perry and Walker are all members of the class of ’68. Each show the band puts on is a raucous good time complete with dancing girls, a fourpiece horn section and a penalty box to sit out anyone who isn’t partying hard enough. “We just put on a really good show,” Allen said. “We have lots of hijinks. Back in the day we’d done a song called Get a Haircut and Get a Real Job, and we’d wave a 100 bucks in
the air for anyone who wanted to come up and get their head shaved,” Allen said. “We get people up on stage dancing with us, singing along, I’m jumping out in the crowd singing Do Wah Diddy,” he said. “It’s just a great evening of classic rock ‘n’ roll. The Intruders played school dances, sock hops and teen town dances throughout the 1960s, travelling as far north as Prince George and as far south as Spokane, Wash., and all through the Okanagan. “We played all over,” Allen said. “We would tend to play a school dance on a Friday night somewhere and then a teen town dance on the Saturday night.” The music scene in the ‘60s was very different from today, Allen said, noting there was no such thing as canned music. “When you went to a dance somewhere there was a live

band playing and your high schools usually had four dances a year,” Allen said. “We had occasions when the school rented the Memorial Arena and they put down sheets of plywood on the ice and we’d freeze our feet off,” he said. Tickets for the final show are still available at Kamloops Live box office for $40 in advance or $50 at the door. Doors open at 7 p.m. and opening act Paisley Groove kicks things off at 8 p.m. The Intruders take the stage one last time at 9:30 p.m.

BRIEFS Jazz talents on display Friday
Full circle for Roxanne Hall It’s been a long time since Roxanne Hall has sung at the peace walk in Kamloops. Hall was 18 years old the first time she performed, she said, and she’s looking forward to taking part in what has since been called the Walk for Peace, the Environment and Social Justice. Hall, who now lives in Slocan, will be the first performer at the expanded version of the annual event organized by the local branch of the Council of Canadians.
She’ll kick off what the organizers are calling Rock the Walk and has a set of strong protest songs ready for when she takes the stage just after noon on Saturday. Hall plans on continuing to sing after the march is ready to head out into the downtown area. She said she’ll be “singing them on during their way out.” She’ll be back on stage at Riverside Park at 7 p.m. as the entertainment continues through to 8 p.m.
Socialist Night School is heading to Kamloops for a show on June 22 with special guest Beyond Brass. The 19-piece jazz orchestra is led by Chelsea McBride, a saxophonist, composer and lyricist. McBride, who was born in Vancouver and studied music at Humber College in Ontario. Last year, her band released The Twilight Fall, with 10 tracks that led to an Ontario reviewer praising it as giving him optimism “about jazz’s young creative talents.” The recording also received four stars from Downbeat Magazine and the band was nominated in the Toronto Independent Music Awards for jazz group of the year. Beyond Brass is a Kamloops big band. Tickets are $25 plus GST and other fees. They are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca The show at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St., is at 7:30 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes earlier.
Block party takes over next Friday
The alley behind the 200-block of Victoria Street will become a block party on June 29, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. The free event includes games, entertainment and plenty of food and drink options.
Entertainment includes DJ Pete Duncan at 4 p.m., Abby Wale at 5 p.m., Jackson Marshall and the Jims at 6:30 p.m., James and the North Shore at 8 p.m and the Sweater Kittens at 9 p.m. Food and drink will be available from Red Collar Brewing, the Noble Pig Brewhouse, Pizza Pi, Fratelli Foods, Bella e la Pazza Cafe, Frenchies Poutinerie, Iron Road Brewing, Monte Creek Ranch Winery, Celista Estates Winery, Wild Mountain Jun and Harper’s Trail winery.
Enjoy some Caravan Farm Theatre this summer
Tickets are on sale for the Caravan Farm Theatre summer program. This year’s presentation is Law of the Land, a musical comedy by Peter Anderson and John Millard. The plot revolves around the planned grand opening of a thermal generating power plant, politicians and delegates from Russia, China and the U.S. and some folks who live nearby and aren’t too happy about the plant. Add in a possible terrorist plot, a few nervous breakdowns and a scientist everyone is ignoring and it is, as the theatre company describes, “an energy crisis of epic proportions.” The show runs from July 24 to Aug. 26 at the Armstrong venue. Tickets are $24.50, $23.25 for seniors, and $10.50 for those 18 and younger. A discount is available for early booking. To book, go online to ticketseller.ca or call 1-866-311-1011.

NEW YORK — Amy Schumer is used to getting glammed up for red carpets, TV shows and movies, but for her new podcast, it was all about comfort. “Never will a bra be worn,’’ the Emmy-winning comedian, actress and author said in an interview with the Associated Press. Amy Schumer Presents: 3 Girls, 1 Keith launched Thursday and was recorded in her apartment with her comedian-best friends Rachel Feinstein, Bridget Everett and Keith Robinson. The original Spotify podcast will be widely available, and Spotify will have additional exclusive content. “I mean, that was part of the draw,’’ Schumer said of taping at home without cameras filming. “There’s just such a feeling of us hanging out like we would anyway.’’ The casual environment helped set the tone for the weekly podcast, which features Schumer and friends discussing love, relationships, sex, comedy, politics and more. Guests will appear each week; comedian Murray Hill and Crazy-Ex Girlfriend actress Rachel Bloom are featured on episode one and two. Schumer said some of the podcasts she listens to includes This American Life, S-Town, Esther Perel’s Where Should We Begin and Oprah’s SuperSoul
Conversations. But part of the appeal of doing her own was because she’s hadn’t heard any podcast like the one she wanted to produce. The idea of doing a podcast started as a joke, Schumer said, and she had been thinking about doing it for a year. “The goals were to make us all some money and just to hang out, honestly,’’ she said, adding that the podcast will let listeners “be a fly on the wall, just hearing casual conversation with friends and then also sometimes, maybe learn something or hear a perspective they didn’t have before.’’ Schumer and friends also discuss their personal lives on 3 Girls, 1 Keith. She tied the knot in February and said she’s enjoying married life. “It’s funny, before you’re married, people don’t really tell you, but then once you get married, you talk to other married couples and they’re like, ‘Marriage is awesome!’ And you’re like, ‘Yes, it is,’’’ she said.

Montreal Queer Eye star to open restaurant CANADIAN PRESS
NEW YORK — Montreal-born Queer Eye star Antoni Porowski plans to open a restaurant in New York. The food and wine expert revealed the news earlier this week in New York at a panel discussion with his co-stars to promote POROWSKI season 2 of their series, now on Netflix. Porowski spoke about his upcoming cookbook and the moderator asked if he had any other news to share. He said with a big smile that he’s not supposed to talk about it. But he revealed he’s “developing a fast-casual food concept restaurant’’ in New York, where he lives. Typically, a fast-casual restaurant doesn’t offer full table service but has higher quality dishes than fast-food establishments. The self-taught cook has been criticized by some for the simple dishes he taught makeover subjects in season 1, which included guacamole made with yogurt. In talking about his cookbook, which will have 100 recipes, Porowski noted with a laugh: “Oh my God, not one of them has avocados in them.’’ Porowski also detailed his experiences in the restaurant industry, noting he has worked just about every job, from busboy to waiter and sommelier.
Suspect arrested in rapper XXXTentacion’s shooting death ASSOCIATED PRESS
POMPANO BEACH, Fla. — A 22-year-old suspect has been arrested and charged with murder days after the killing of rising rap star XXXTentacion, who was fatally shot in his luxury BMW electric car as he left an upscale motorcycle dealership in Florida. Dedrick Devonshay Williams of Pompano Beach was arrested shortly before 7 p.m. Wednesday after a traffic stop, the Broward Sheriff’s Office said a statement Thursday. Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, 20,
who went by the stage name pronounced “Ex Ex Ex ten-tasee-YAWN,’’ was gunned down Monday, bringing a violent end to a brief music career that was marked by controversy and arrests. Authorities said the rapper was ambushed by two suspects. They did not give a motive in announcing Williams’ arrest, but had previously said the shooting was an apparent robbery attempt. After Williams’ arrest, Broward Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Veda Coleman-Wright said homicide detectives also
were seeking additional suspects. An arrest report said Williams was alone in the silver 2004 Honda and driving without a licence when he was spotted by an officer in Pompano Beach. He was taken into custody on an active felony warrant. XXXTentacion’s attorney, David Bogenschutz, said Tuesday that investigators told him the rapper had visited a bank shortly before the shooting and possibly withdrew a significant amount of cash to buy a motorcycle at Riva Motorsports in Deerfield Beach.

Grizzlyshark is good for a laugh
I
f you’re into B movies such as Sharknado, Sharktopus, and 2-Headed Shark Attack, I’ve got a treat for you. This week we’re reviewing the trade paperback Grizzlyshark, written and drawn by Ryan Ottley and coloured by Ivan Plascencia. The trade paperback consists of three short stories: Grizzlyshark, Grizzlyshark Returns and Grizzlyshark vs. Seabear. In Grizzlyshark we meet a father and son out on a leisurely camping trip in the great outdoors. It isn’t long before they encounter the famed Grizzlyshark, and it looks like the son Donnie is doomed. But with a handful of Aspirin and no legs, Donnie and his dad escape. Unfortunately it seems no matter where they go, Grizzlyshark isn’t far behind and continues to track them. When a specialist on Grizzlysharks enters the story, it seems there’s more meat to feed the beast. Grizzlysharks can smell a paper cut from 100 miles away, and no one is safe unless they’re wearing the amazing Cinnamon Bear Jubilee Shark Repellent Body Spray (patent pending). It seems no one out camping is safe from the dreaded monster, but some do survive (of course they do, or there wouldn’t be a Grizzlyshark
RANDY WAGNER
COMIC KAM
Returns). The story continues into Grizzlyshark Returns, and again, it isn’t long before the munching starts. Donnie and his favourite cousin JonBob continue to evade the dreaded Grizzlyshark and make a few friends along the way. But who will survive to meet the notorious Seabear? Like the first two parts, Grizzlyshark vs. Seabear gets right into the gore with Grizzlyshark up to his old tricks. Using improvised bait with multiple Grizzlysharks after them, the cousins fall into the sea with one last Grizzlyshark hot on their tail. Seabear shows up to challenge the remaining Grizzlyshark and the fight is on. Who will remain at the end? Will this be the end for Donnie and JonBob? Will there be enough
bodies left for a sequel? You will have to read the trade paperback to see how it ends. Full of fun and surprises, this trade is great for a laugh. My wife also thoroughly enjoyed Grizzlyshark laughing all the way through. The trade is full of bad language, bad jokes and gore, everything a B movie aficionado could hope for. With 16 pages of extras at the back that show the process that went into writing the story, early sketches and gag page ideas, it’s packed with the extra material that makes this series a definite win. Ryan Ottley is most known for his artwork with Robert Kirkman on Invincible. In Grizzlyshark he combines his skills with both story and art. He is currently working with Nick Spencer on the Amazing Spiderman series. Ivan Plascencia’s colours in Grizzlyshark are vivid and exactly what you would expect of a B grade horror movie. He has previously worked with Alex Grecian and Riley Rossmo in the series Rasputin. Grizzlyshark is produced by Image Comics and rated M for mature. With the popularity of this comic, you may just see the movie in theatres soon. Randy Wagner is assistant manager of High Octane Comics. For more, visit 250 Third Ave. or call 250-377-8444.
