ing. By those numbers, roughly 13 per cent of the city’s residents are living in unaffordable rental situations. “Almost half of our renters in Kamloops are experiencing some sort of housing insecurity and 20 per cent of our homeowners are, too,” Serl said. She detailed a housing market that has also ballooned in less than a decade. In 2011, 695 homes in Kamloops were purchased for less than $240,000, she said. This year, 106 homes are available for sale for less than $275,000. “There’s been a drastic shift in our market,” Serl said. Sinclair said zoning-bylaw amendments would also support KamPlan, which promotes city densification, and noted site-specific applications for suites, as the rules currently require, create political decisionmaking over evidence-based regulatory decisions by staff.

WorkSafeBC continues to investigate a workplace accident that claimed the life of a Kamloops man on Friday. Kamloops Tirecraft employee Brenden Stokes, 19, was killed when he was repairing a Caterpillar wheel loader in the 10200-block of Dallas Drive. Stokes was on a service call when he was killed. Kamloops Fire Rescue received a call for assistance from Kamloops RCMP at 1:20 p.m. on Friday. Family and friends have taken to Facebook to share messages of love and grief about the man.
making people laugh. He was one big goof ball with a heart of gold,” Wood said. Stokes’ mother Kara said her son was an amazing young man whose life ended far too soon. “A huge piece of my heart was shattered yesterday [Friday]. Our family is devastated. There are no words to explain how much he is missed,” she said. “So many people love him. The messages and phone calls I have gotten, the people who have come by to give me a hug — I know they are hurting for having lost him as well.” WorkSafeBC did not respond to requests for comment before Tuesday’s press deadline, but notes in general that investigations can take several months.
A Kamloops councillor hopes loosening secondary-suite rules will alleviate financial pressure on the city’s renters, those she calls “overburdened.” Kathy Sinclair is pitching amendments to zoning bylaws that would allow secondary suites in all singlefamily homes. “Secondary suites provide a market-led solution to increasing access to housing options, improving rental affordability and improving homeowner affordability,” Sinclair said while making a notice of motion last week. The notice came after council earlier met to discuss an affordablehousing strategy. Natalie Serl, the city’s acting social-development supervisor, told council during a presentation on the matter that the city’s monthly average rent increased since information presented last year, to $1,031 from $857, which is about $2,000 more overall per year. More than a quarter of Kamloops residents rent, Serl said, with almost half spending more than 30 per cent — a widely accepted affordability threshold — of their income on hous-

Jennifer Harbaruk What piece of art did you buy?
What do you like best about your artwork?
STILLNESS by Liz Derksen
What organization(s) did you volunteer with to pay for your art? Canadian Cancer Society, Kidney Foundation of BC/Yukon, St. Ann’s Academy PAC, Make-A-Wish BC/Yukon
What do you like best about the organization you volunteered for? In all of the organizations I volunteered with, I saw direct impact in the community…be it helping to raise money for support programs and services offered in Kamloops, engaging youth in community activities or providing one-on-one peer support to families and individuals dealing with a critical illness. They all make a difference locally. Some people are under the assumption that National Organizations only impact the global community…the larger scale research… the national programs. But what we do in our local communities with these groups (events, fundraising, etc.) stays in our community. I’ve seen it and experienced it firsthand.
Oh my goodness! What don’t I like!? Liz’s artwork is so vibrant! I love the colours and scale. This piece is hanging in our bedroom…I wake up and feel happy and refreshed looking at it. It’s whimsical and unique and captures our local geography beautifully!
What do you like about the Timeraiser event? I’ve been involved in Timeraiser since its inception in Kamloops, from both a volunteer perspective and agency perspective. I was very excited when September announced her project! As a volunteer, I like that it takes the guess work out of researching an organization. My time is precious, being a mom of 3, a wife and a full-time employee. I want to volunteer, but I don’t want to spend a lot of time deciding where I should dedicate those hours. Timeraiser provides a venue where the legwork is done for me. I get to have face time with the organization and decide quite quickly if it is a fit for me or not. From a non-profit perspective, we have found valuable, dedicated volunteers through this process. They genuinely want to engage with us and they work hard! It is a win-win all around!

Out of the Heat homeless shelter now open JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
An extreme weather shelter opening in Kamloops this week is being funded by the City of Kamloops. The city’s acting social development supervisor Natalie Serl said $10,000 from internal city programming will support Out of the Cold’s expansion this summer as Out of the Heat. “We’re trying this program out this year,” Serl said. The shelter, which is located
in St. Paul’s Cathedral on the corner of Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue downtown, will be open Mondays and Fridays between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in July and August. The city’s financial backing comes as BC Housing announced delays this winter of construction of modular housing in Kamloops, housing that will help transition people from the streets to independent living. The former Stuart Wood elementary served as a temporary cold weather shelter this past winter, but closed at the end of March when funding from
BC Housing ended. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said the delays will result in emergency shelter needed once again this winter. “We talked about getting these things going back in February quickly so we would have them in place for November, so we would be in a place to shelter people who are going to be desperately needing these,” Christian said. “These are rapid-responseto-homelessness kind of facilities. The fact that they’re not there means we’re going to have to find another emergency
shelter this winter.” BC Housing earlier told KTW it is working with the city to find a temporary solution and is prepared to provide operating funds. Serl could provide no updates on talks with the province. “We’re talking about all kinds of different options right now,” she said. Christian said he would like to see small and temporary operations. “Congregation is not the model you want to have,” he said. “You want to have a number of them closer to where the people
need them rather than drawing everybody into one massive shelter. “Some of the social problems and chronic social problems we have just get magnified when you have large shelters. “That’s one thing. The other part is people need better than a mat on the floor of a gym to spend their life. “This should be viewed as an overnight shelter and they need to get on with getting about their business of trying to find the social supports that they need during the day.”

More complex cases may be on city streets DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
More homeless people with complex physical and mental-health challenges could be on the streets of Kamloops soon due to the fact the agencies at the forefront of dealing with them are burning out. Bob Hughes, executive director of ASK Wellness Centre, said about 80 per cent of those living at its Crossroads Inn downtown at Seymour Street and Sixth Avenue fit that category and it’s become too much for ASK staff to handle. “This couldn’t come at a worse time,” Hughes said of the decision to convert Crossroads into housing for those who need shelter, but who do not have conditions that require more supports to deal with. The harm-reduction services at the building will be available only to Crossroads residents.
The movement away from complexissues clients will happen through attrition at the residence. Hughes said there isn’t enough shelter in Kamloops for those who need it. Emerald Centre, the West Victoria Street shelter run by the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, is always full, with staff turning people away. Hughes praised the CMHA and its staff for performing what he called “a miracle” when it opened a shelter at the former Stuart Wood elementary building last winter. The city and the CMHA partnered to use the heritage building’s gymnasium as a shelter nightly from Nov. 1 through March 31. Hughes said it’s up to the city and BC Housing to identify a site for another shelter and come up with the money to run it, something CMHA executive director Christa Mullaly said is in the early stages. BC Housing has committed funding to
support one or two more temporary shelters in the fall and the city is looking for potential locations that will work for the people using the facilities and the surrounding neighbourhoods. The next challenge, Mullaly said, will be for other social agencies and Interior Health to partner with the CMHA to provide the ongoing support needed, something the CMHA is not allowed to do due to the provisions of its contract with BC Housing. Hughes complimented the city for the two social-housing projects it has approved, but noted construction hasn’t started and they likely won’t come onto the market until next year. KTW reported last week that the projects on Tranquille Road on the North Shore and on West Victoria Street downtown will open later than expected next winter. “If you look at the number of rental units being built in this region and in this city,
you think it’s the solution, but the problem is that $1,039 [average rent],” Hughes said, noting that is not a solution for people living on income assistance or the people-withdisability funding, each of which allows $375 monthly for shelter. “Even our units don’t go for $375,” Hughes said, citing the need to pay for utilities and other housing-related expenses. However, he also said ASK has added to the supply of shelter by buying the former Maverick Motor Inn in Aberdeen and managing the former Fountain Motel downtown, which the province bought in 2016. However, Hughes said, he welcomes news the province has established a group of experts who will look at basic-income models and how they could impact poverty and the social-support system. Mullaly agreed, but said the urgency remains on the ground to create temporary shelters “and bring people inside.”

STRIKE CONTINUES AT CASCADES CASINO MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Employees from Cascades Casino in Kamloops remain on strike this week after walking off the job last Friday. Striking members of the BC Government Employees’ Union have gathered on the sidewalk in front of the casino in Aberdeen, joining their brethren in Vernon, Kelowna and Penticton on the picket lines. The strike involves more than 675 BCGEU workers in casinos in the four cities. Workers at Match Eatery and Atlas Steak + Fish in Cascades Casino are also on strike. Passersby can see striking workers waving yellow union flags and holding signs with messages such as “tips are not part of my wage” and “play nice, play fair.” Picket lines will be up around the clock, with union members marching in four-hour shifts along the two entrances to the casino via Versatile Drive and Hugh Allan Drive. As a result of the strike, operations at Cascades Casino have been affected. Match, Atlas and table games are closed and Cascades’ hours of operation during the
labour dispute will be 10 a.m. to midnight Sundays to Thursdays and 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. Fridays and Saturdays. The Buffet hours will change to a start time one hour later and closing time one hour earlier — 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. In addition, lottery payouts will be capped at $500 as the casino’s designation as a regional prize payout centre will be suspended until job action ends. Management said all slot machines, the Summit Bar and cash cage operations will run normally during adjusted operating hours. BCGEU president Stephanie Smith said wages remain the main stumbling block in negotiations. “If you have people that are currently at minimum-wage levels, which they are, then those increases are necessary simply to bring them in line with industry standards,” Smith told KTW. Union staff negotiator Chad McQuarrie said most workers — be they card dealers, security guards or servers — make minimum wage or just above it. He said the union wants to see workers in Kamloops and the Okanagan making wages
that are in line with what casino workers earn in the Lower Mainland. McQuarrie said some of the card dealers in Lower Mainland casinos are paid between $15 and $17 an hour, whereas dealers in Kamloops make between minimum wage ($12.65) to $13 an hour. The province’s minimum wage is set to rise each June 1 until it hits $15.20 in 2021. Michael Kilar is one of those card dealers. The minimum-wage earner has worked at Cascades for two years and hopes the strike will result in a pay bump for everyone. Tim Locke, a cook with Match Eatery, said the company isn’t making an effort to listen to its employees. “If they’re not listening, you’ve got to do something else after talking doesn’t work,” Locke said. Gateway Casinos has said the union is asking for an average 65 per cent wage increase across the board, which it described as not reasonable. Mike Schmidt, who works security at the local casino, called the strike unfortunate and hopes it won’t last too long.

So, you want to know what PR means? KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
As the province prepares to go to referendum this fall on electoral reform, Kamloops This Week wants to inform readers on the new options being offered. The first question on the ballot will ask voters if they wish to keep the current firstpast-the-post system.
A second question — in which voters will choose from one of three forms of proportional representation — will come into play only if the majority of participating voters choose to switch to a proportional-representation system. If that happens, voters need to understand their options. Fair Vote Kamloops
volunteer Gisela Ruckert visited KTW to explain in plain language the three proposed proportional representation systems: dual-member, mixed-member and urban-rural. She also broke down what new ballots would look like under each system. Voting will be done by mail-in ballot from

Oct. 22 to Nov. 30. The campaign opened on July 1 and closes on Nov. 30. Fair Vote Kamloops is an organization in favour of ditching the riding-by-riding winner-take-all first-pastthe-post system and adopting some form of proportional representation, in which the share of popular vote generally matches the share of seats in the legislature. Fair Vote Kamloops’ page can be found on Facebook. A group that wishes to retain the first-pastthe-post system is campaigning against a switch to PR.

Individuals and groups must register with Elections BC to conduct referendum advertising during the referendum campaign period. The regulations set a $200,000 limit on referendum advertising expenses. Proponent and opponent groups and other referendum advertising sponsors will be subject to contribution limits and reporting provisions in line with the recent changes to the Election Act regarding election-advertising sponsors.
The chief electoral officer has authority to provide neutral public education about the referendum and the voting systems on the ballot.

Racist words on sign in Lac du Bois draw condemnation MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Beware this latest phone scam in Kamloops Kamloops Mounties are warning the public about another phone call scam. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the scam involves the victim receiving a phone call from someone claiming to be from a delivery company and advising them of a pending package delivery. The caller wants to know when the best day to deliver would be. The victims will typically say something such as, “This Monday is not good, I have to work and nobody will be here to receive the package.” Shelkie said that is all the verification the caller needs. The scammer now know
when the best time would be to break into the victim’s home. “Generally, delivery companies will leave a note on your door,” Shelkie said. “If you get a phone call, hang up and call back the legitimate delivery company.” Shelkie said people should not trust the number on their caller ID. “Scammers are good at using phone apps to look like a legitimate company,” she said. “Sometimes the scammers even have the name and address of someone in the residence. Even then, if you receive a phone call from a delivery company, check the facts.”

BONNIE JESTEN PHOTO This defaced sign in Lac du Bois Provincial Park was removed on the Canada Day long weekend.
A Batchelor Heights resident was shocked to come across a sign welcoming mushroom pickers to Secwepemc territory defaced with spray-painted racist comments. Bonnie Jesten was walking her dog early one morning last week in Lac du Bois Provincial Park, just north of Batchelor Heights, when she noticed the sign was covered in large red letters saying “F— Indians.” The sign also contained white supremacist sayings — “white is right” and “white power” in smaller black lettering — as well as the sentence “Indians have had enough.” Seeing those words upset Jesten, who said she felt compelled to take a picture of the sign and let people know about it. “To me, it was totally bad manners,” Jesten told KTW, noting she is not of First Nations heritage. “I’m upset that Canadians would act that way. I thought we were better than that.” After Jesten contacted KTW, word of the defaced sign spread and, on the Canada Day long weekend, the vandalized placard had been removed. “I thought about phoning the Indian band, but I just wasn’t too sure how I could apologize
to them for the behaviour of somebody who obviously isn’t Indigenous,” Jesten said. She did contemplate trying to wipe away the offensive words, but feared causing more damage to the sign, which asks mushroom pickers and buyers to obtain permits from one of four First Nations in the area. Ron Ignace, chief of the Skeetchestn First Nation — one of the four bands listed on the sign — condemned those who scrawled the racist words on the sign. “That’s sick,” Ignace said. “It’s out-and-out racism.” “It’s a violation of our human rights and it should be a concern for law-abiding citizens throughout the country to have that kind of mentality spread around,” Ignace said. Jesten said she wants people to know that, regardless of backgrounds, people live together and need to accept and support each other. “To me, the Indigenous people should be saying, ‘Yeah, we’ve had enough,’” Jesten said. “They’ve been treated badly for decades and decades.” Ignace said the plan is to replace the sign with a new one. He said he hopes anyone who knows who may have defaced the previous sign report it to police. Kamloops Mounties say they have yet to receive a complaint.

THE TRUE NORTH, STRONG AND FREE
F
reedom. That’s the recurring theme heard when various news agencies hit the streets around Canada Day to talk to people about how it feels to be Canadian. It’s a cornerstone of our democracy, it’s what the rest of the world sees when they look to us and it’s in the lyrics of our national anthem. Freedom is a tricky word in a country like Canada, where most of us have never known not having it. But freedom isn’t a guarantee, despite what we were told growing up. “Fighting for your freedom” seemed a simple enough concept, the one we give thanks for each Remembrance Day to those who did just that. Most of us thought that if we achieved those freedoms, we’d have them for life. In Canada, for the most part, we do. That’s why, as we bask in post-Canada Day bliss, we think it bears noting that now, more than ever, we’re grateful to be born in the land of the “true north, strong and free.” We only need to look to our neighbouring nation to realize the right to be free can change in an instant. Last year, Canada 150 gave us the opportunity to celebrate this country of ours like never before, but also to reflect up on it. As Canadians, we signed up to do better, be better and treat one another better. However, the work is not done. So, for the latter half of this year, while you’re out enjoying all that Kamloops, B.C. and Canada have to offer, take a moment to remember that not all Canadians enjoy the equality of freedom just yet. As we continue to carve our new national identity, we can all use our freedom to help others.

City hall hmmmmms
M
any people are announcing their intention to run for council this year. I wonder why they’re doing it now when, other than the true devotees, most of us aren’t going to think about voting in a mayor, council and school board until after Labour Day arrives. However, that doesn’t mean we should ignore some of the things this council has been doing recently, decisions that, in the words of that former nighttime talk-show host Arsenio Hall, make you go hmmm. First, let’s talk about the council agendas. Who would have thought changing the day they are released would cause such a kerfuffle? I found it kind of funny one of the reasons behind the fight against it — eventually, the decision was made to release them a day earlier to councillors — was that city administration doesn’t want to get phone calls from Kamloopsians or media after hours. Simple solution? Don’t answer the phone. The next hurdle was how releasing the agendas two days earlier — Coun. Denis Walsh had asked for them on Wednesdays — could delay construction projects. Counter that with a comment BC Housing regional director Ann Howard made when we were all told the social-housing projects the city has been praised for creating are now delayed because of permit challenges. Nothing to worry about, she
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL said, noting delays are common “in the land of construction, where there are many variables.” And those who need this essential housing shouldn’t worry. The delay will just be a month or two past the original December completion prediction. What’s a few more weeks when you’re housing-challenged? Moving along, I spent several hours at Riverside Park on Canada Day and heard the same concern there that I’ve heard during my stints at the KTW booth at the Saturday Farmers’ Market — people aren’t impressed with the new idling bylaw. Many echo the sentiment our managing editor, Christopher Foulds, expressed in a recent column when he noted that perhaps the greatest source of all-things-evil-that-come-fromvehicles-idling happen in drivethrus. Or on Columbia Street. Or on the Trans-Canada Highway through Valleyview. Or on Victoria Street when
the red lights go against you. You know, all that time you sit in a lot of traffic waiting for the light to turn so some of us can move along? I’ve been shocked at how much traffic there is coming from my home through Valleyview in the morning. You can find yourself sitting through two or three red lights, idling away. The other issue many have raised is how silly it seems to have yet another bylaw that is unenforceable, with the city calling it an educational tool. Frankly, if the city is really serious about its greenhouse-gas concerns, it would stop letting new subdivisions ban clotheslines. That would be a big step toward actually walking the walk on this subject. Here is a final city hall-related observation: Get ready for one very long ballot when we go to the polls on Oct. 20 — and we all will vote, right? — because they’re already announcing and the list grows every week. Many of the 15 unsuccessful byelection candidates have indicated their desire to try again and the mayor’s race has at least two candidates declared, with Ken Christian seeking reelection and Bill Turnbull saying he has a different idea for Ken’s political future. Then there’s Coun. Ray Dhaliwal, a man of few words while sitting around the horseshoe every week. He says maybe he will go for mayor and maybe he won’t. Time will tell. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ABOUT THOSE RISING FIREFIGHTER SALARIES Editor: The primary culprit in the incidence of more and more Kamloops firefighters’ salaries climbing rapidly toward or over $100,000 is the B.C. Fire and Police Services Collective Bargaining Act. (‘Growth last year was 132 per cent, from 50 to 116 workers,’ June 29). Because cities don’t want to risk losing fire protection from a strike should labour negotiations break down during collective bargaining, unresolved issues are handed to B.C. arbitrators. The primary consideration of arbitrators is “comparability” with other firefighters across the land, though reference to local economic circumstances is also
mandated. The trouble with that is unless the locale is fundamentally bankrupt, like a Fort McMurray, for example, the reality is taxpayers’ deep pockets rule out much restraint being exercised there. Two other trends as summarized by the Fraser Institute are worthy of note The conservative think tank reports that between 1997 and 2012 the number of firefighters in Ontario increased by 36.3 per cent, but the number of fires attended decreased by 41.1 per cent. Meanwhile fire-related calls in Ontario fell by 15.3 per cent, but non-fire-related calls increased by 23.8 per cent.
Locally, assuming such trends are approximately replicated in B.C., the reason is quite simple. A protocol agreement between local fire departments, the B.C. Ambulance Service and 9-1-1 emergency services states that firefighters should be first responders in the event of an ambulance summons. This is why passersby often see both fire trucks and ambulances at calls where there is no fire. Whether that protocol is right, wrong or indifferent is a matter for local communities to debate. The only solution, probably, to the prospect of 116 Kamloops firefighters topping $100,000 in base earnings in 2018 rising to
150 or more would be to de-link local International Association of Fire Fighters negotiations from compulsory binding arbitration and/or to make it illegal for wage-compensation increases by themselves to result in tax increases without first going to a vote of funders. But this is a John Horgan/ Andrew Weaver alliance at play in Victoria and they have political bills to pay that are more compelling to them than economic ones. So the fact remains that pigs aren’t likely to fly any time soon, whether in Kamloops, Toronto or Timbuktu. Wm Baird Blackstone Tsawwassen
MANY THANKS TO FIREFIGHTERS FOR DOUSING BATCH BLAZE Editor: While sitting on my deck on many occasions, I have watched water bombers fly overhead, knowing they are heading somewhere else to fight fires. It has always left me wondering where they were heading and who had been affected, and feeling scared and worried for those people and their possible losses. It was very scary and surreal watching the recent fire in Batchelor Heights come fairly close to my own neighbour-
hood and home. I was feeling a lot of fear while watching these planes fly overhead as I knew where this fire was. At the same time, I felt extremely grateful they were up there. I now know I was not prepared for such an emergency and I am working on a plan. I found a helpful guide online: PreparedBC: Household Preparedness Guide — a guide for protecting your family. Most importantly, I want to send out a huge thank you
to the many people who were involved in fighting and dealing with this fire. I am grateful to those who reported the fire and to Kamloops Fire and Rescue and BC Wildfire Service firefighters and pilots, Kamloops Mounties paramedics, city bylaws officers and volunteers. Linda McClelland Kamloops Editor: I am sending out big buckets of gratefulness and thank yous to Kamloops firefight-
ers, Kamloops Mounties, the BC Wildfire Service and first responders and response teams who looked after us in the Batchelor Heights on June 21. The fire blew up so quickly and this team of people were so amazing in getting the fire under control and out so quickly. I feel blessed to live in this wonderful city. Shannon Moore Kamloops

A year later, pilot, girlfriend remain missing MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Denise Weisgerber remembers the conversation she had last year with her son, the day before he went missing while flying a small aircraft to Kamloops from Cranbrook.. “It was light and it was happy. He was telling us that he was com-
ing down for vacation, he was going to visit for a while and then he was going to fly the Vancouver coast,” she told KTW. What followed instead was a fullscale search between Kamloops and Cranbrook for her son, Alex Simons, and his girlfriend, Sydney Robillard. They were in a
Piper Warrior aircraft that left Lethbridge for Kamloops on June 8, 2017. It vanished following a refuelling stop in Cranbrook, the town of about 20,000 in the Kootenays. Two weeks ago, a service was held for Simons at Holy Family Parish in Valleyview. It was attended by more than 75 friends and family members,

not arrive at Kamloops Airport. Throughout the search, Weisgerber said she communicated with Lt.-Col. Bryn Elliott of the Royal Canadian Air Force. “He called me every day to give me updates,” Weisgerber said. A few weeks after the plane went missing, she met Elliott to go over the flight plans and area searched. Throughout the first week, Weisgerber said she held out hope her son was alive, that he had landed the plane somewhere and that it was only a matter of finding the aircraft. But it was difficult to determine where the plane might have gone as the terrain is
vast, rocky and heavily treed. Poor weather conditions in the first few days also hindered search efforts. The Piper had an emergency beacon, but no viable signals were detected during the search. The plane has not been located. About two weeks after the plane went missing, further search activity was suspended pending new evidence indicating a strong likelihood of locating survivors. Over a 12-day search period, 18 Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Civil Air Search and Rescue (CASARA) aircraft flew approximately 576 hours and covered some 37,513 square kilometres. Alongside

more than 70 RCAF personnel were 137 volunteer pilots and spotters from CASARA, averaging 10 aircraft per day. In the months following the search, Weisgerber did not receive updates, but said she was contacted by local police in January, requesting permission for Simons’ dental records. She said Kamloops Mounties described the request as routine and did not indicate they had found any evidence of the whereabouts of Simons, Robillard and the Piper. “I don’t know why they waited,” Weisgerber said. Weisgerber said the past year has been difficult for her, noting she has managed with the support of others. “People have been so kind. My friends have been there and my family. Without support, it would have been so much more difficult,” Weisgerber said, adding she would like to extend her gratitude to Elliott, the many civilian pilots who searched for her son last year and family and friends.

some of whom travelled from as far away as Germany to pay their respects to the young man who grew up in Barnhartvale. Weisgerber said the service felt like a necessary step in the healing process. “It’s hard when you have nothing to pay respects to, it’s hard when there’s no body, it’s hard when you don’t have a formal funeral,” she said. Weisgerber recalled beginning to worry at about 5 p.m. on that fateful day last year when she hadn’t heard from the two 21-yearolds, prompting her to make a few calls. She called Lethbridge Airport, but when there was no answer, she phoned the local flight school at which Alex had trained, assuming he rented the aircraft there. She said the person she spoke with from the flight school hadn’t heard from Simons since he stopped in Cranbrook and they reported the plane missing on her behalf. The plane took off from Lethbridge at 8:35 a.m. PDT on June 8, 2017. After stopping in Cranbrook, Simons and Robillard took to the air again at 2 p.m. Four hours later, the RCMP was called and told the plane did

Remembering skydiving legend Reg Hurlbut KAMLOOPS MAN DIED IN ILLINOIS WHEN HIS PARACHUTE FAILED TO DEPLOY PROPERLY Reg Hurlbut was 68 and held many skydiving records when he was killed during a June 15 jump about 160 kilometres from Chicago. FACEBOOK PHOTO
MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Danny Grant remembers his friend and fellow skydiver Reg Hurlbut as a man who always had a smile on his face. “He was a legend,” Grant recalled of the man who taught him how to fly a wingsuit. “You couldn’t go anywhere in North America and not meet someone in the [skydiving] community who knew him either personally or knew who he was or was directly influenced by him.” Hurlbut, 68, was an experienced Kamloops skydiver with many records under his belt when he died on June 15 in a skydiving accident in rural Illinois. He hit the ground after his parachute failed to deploy properly, landing in a bean field near Ottawa, Ill., about 160 kilometres from Chicago. He was pronounced dead at the scene. As fellow members of the Kamloops Skydiving Club, Grant knew Hurlbut for seven years.
Grant was on the same jump the day Hurlbut died. Grant said he landed in a 25-hectare field. He said he made his way back to the hangar and was in the process of packing his gear when he heard someone had a hard landing. Medics were on site and Grant learned a few minutes later they were tending to Hurlbut. Later that evening, Grant received word his friend was dead. “Personally, it’s hard. I knew him well, but for most of us, the
thoughts go immediately to the family,” Grant said. “He’s a father, he’s a grandfather and it affects us all deeply and personally, but they’re a true family.” Grant and Hurlbut were attending a training camp in Illinois, preparing for a record-setting wingsuit jump attempt set to take place in Florida this November. The jump they were on was a practice run involving more than 40 people. “I didn’t directly see what occurred with him, but I’ve spo-
ken to the people who did and, essentially, he got his parachute out safely, but sometime between getting his parachute open and landing it, he lost control and wasn’t able to land safely,” Grant said. Hurlbut’s parachute opened, but appeared to get tangled, according to LaSalle County undersheriff Mike Renner. “There could have been a knot in the string, they could’ve been tangled into each other, they could have just been twisted up — you can imagine being on a swing as a child and you twist the chains up,” Grant said. Grant said he will continue in his bid to make the squad that will attempt a world record later this year. “Me and the 44 other people at that camp, we all knew Reg well. Probably 30 of them there set
previous records with him,” Grant said. “For a lot of us, it’s just another reason to make this successful because he wanted it just as much, if not more, than everyone there, so it would be a shame to not make it happen.” Hurlbut began skydiving in Kamloops in 1994 and was on teams that set records for the number of wingsuit skydivers flying together in a diamond formation in California in 2012 and 2015. The 2012 jump involved 100 people setting the record for Guinness World Records, while the 2015 jump involved 61 skydivers adhering to more stringent rules set by the International Aeronautic Federation. November’s jump is expected to involve 81 people, Grant told KTW. Using a wingsuit is unlike any other skydive, he said. “Honestly, short of strapping an engine on to something, it really is as close as you can get to flying without having a vehicle to do it.”
Suspects sought in connection with killing of bear TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Conservation officials are hoping a tip from the public can help them track down a pair of men suspected
of shooting a bear near Westsyde earlier this month and leaving it for dead. Conservation officer Jim Melenka said a hunter reported hearing a gunshot at about the 3.3-kilometre mark
on Noble Lake Road on June 15, then saw two men standing near a pickup truck. “The two men looked back at the witness,” Melenka said. “When they saw him, they got in their
truck and fled the scene.” The hunter then spotted a bear that was shot about 25 yards off the roadway. The animal died of its injuries where it was shot, Melenka said. Laws prohibit hunters from discarding animals they have killed. “It’s not very common at all,” Melenka said of the incident.
“Especially with something that died right then and there. But this one was visible from the road.” Melenka said the suspects’ motive is not clear. “That’s the milliondollar question, as to why they did what they did,” he said. “We have a few ideas as to what they may have been thinking, but

Wages are at issue in job action at Cascades Casino From A5
Schmidt said employees aren’t going to work for minimum wage, estimating about threequarters of the staff make that hourly rate. “We deserve a living wage. There are some people here that have two or three jobs,” he said, arguing tips are a gift, not a guarantee. The 21-year employee said he’s one of the lucky ones who makes about $20 an hour, but noted that is just $7 more than what he was making when he started at the casino in the late 1990s, when it was known as Lake City and located in downtown Kamloops. Fellow security worker Melissa Frank, who has worked at Cascades for three years, makes minimum wage. She said the company is very successful, noting employees want to be able to share in that success. Schmidt described the mood inside Cascades when the walkout occurred as respectful and hopes customers will respect their picket line — but he noted they can’t stop people from crossing. A few people could be seen entering the casino shortly after the picket lines went up.
The golf tournament is being held to raise money for the family of Kira Crawford, a five-yearold Kamloops girl with cerebral palsy who will be undergoing potentially life-altering treatments. The family is also accepting donations online at https://www.gofundme.com/help-kira-heal-herbrain, while the Facebook page — search for “Kira Shines” — has regular updates on Kira.

JUNE WINNER

Casino patron Greg Taypotat said he was temporarily blocked by striking workers, but was eventually allowed through. “My opinion is be happy with what you get,” Taypotat said of the strike, adding he knows people who make minimum wage that are happy with it. “There’s a lot of people that don’t have work that could use the money.” A few employees and customers could be seen inside Cascades Casino, with one woman behind the guest-services counter saying the casino is welcoming the same number of customers as pre-strike. But not everyone is striking in solidarity. Atlas cook Cole Androlick said he was out on the picket line because he would lose his job otherwise.
“Basically, I’m being strongarmed and blackmailed into doing this,” he told KTW. Androlick makes $17.65 an hour, which is at what he understands to be a livable wage in Kamloops. “For a 25-year-old single young man with no responsibilities, that’s pretty good,” he said. Mediated talks broke down between the union and Gateway last week. The union struck due to what it described as stall tactics from the employer when it came to discussing wages. “We were surprised that the union decided to end mediation before there was a discussion on wages,” said Tanya Gabara, director of public relations for Gateway Casinos, parent company of the four casinos embroiled in the labour dispute. “The union’s decision to go on strike before wages were addressed is unfortunate for our business and for our employees. “We remain open to meeting with the union and hope that they choose to return to mediation.”

Elisha was raised by her grandparents and a single mother who did her best to make ends meet, and experienced an unspeakable tragedy. Kari-Lynnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s parents were foster parents to roughly one hundred kids, so she was surrounded by children with traumatic stories. She teared up as she remembered a little boy who came to live with them when she was eight years old. â&#x20AC;&#x153;His mom physically abused him really bad. Seeing that was a big eye-opener for me.â&#x20AC;? Strong and diligent, both women were somewhat surprised at their
own strength as they endured the program. Now, at 33, both Kari-Lynn and Elisha have a well-paying career that they love, and lots of time to dedicate to their families.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was about understanding that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all in the same boat. This was the best message I took from Kari: there was no competition.â&#x20AC;?
Mothers to two beautiful children each, KariLynn and Elisha have proven to their families and their children that they had the power in them all along. With sheer diligence and resolve, they have changed their lives for the better. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to be a nurse. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to be a nurse. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what type of nurse I wanted to be, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted to help people.â&#x20AC;? Kari-Lynn exclaimed, knowing her dream has come true. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I love it! I absolutely love it,â&#x20AC;? Elisha exclaimed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I never know what kind of people Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll meet. I mostly work in geriatric right now, but even when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m working in acute, I love the people I meet, the patients are amazing.â&#x20AC;? L

A Tree of Hope grows in Kamloops DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
J
im Wentworth has many memories from the days he spent in Paris at the 2015 United Nations Conference on Climate Change. He didn’t go specifically to attend the conference, but since it was happening, he got involved. Wentworth has a black binder full of information gathered, pictures taken — items one might expect a retired teacher to create on a subject for which he has true passion. And then there’s the tree. Wentworth said one of the moststriking images he saw while visiting Paris was a tree covered in ribbons carrying messages from people, thoughts they wanted to share about their climate concerns. He suggested at a meeting earlier this year to plan the annual peace walk in Kamloops that a similar tree might be a good idea, something people could interact with, just as they did in Paris. “All I had was an idea, but the tree became an indication of community support,” Wentworth said. “Someone gave limbs from trees they had and someone made the base. It was no longer just mine, but other people joining in. “It’s a lesson of what we can do with a simple idea and one that doesn’t include confrontation.” Wentworth had the Tree of Hope at Riverside Park for the June 23 Walk for Peace, Social Justice and the Environment, inviting people to write their thoughts on the cloth ribbons he had at his booth. Many who stopped also shared their stories with Wentworth, including one person who said he wouldn’t write something because some peo-

ple won’t like what he would write. “So I asked him what he would write and he said it would be to legalize drugs,” Wentworth said. “And that led to a discussion with him about why he feels that way. And people should be talking about it and appreciating what other people say.” Talking with people, listening to people and learning about other viewpoints have been hallmarks of Wentworth’s 29-year teaching career, one he spent at Rayleigh and Aberdeen elementaries. Concern for the environment has also been a key component. For 22 of his teaching years, Wentworth took his students to School District 73’s McQueen Lake Education Centre, where they experienced natural surroundings north of Kamloops. He also took them to Vancouver to learn about the kind of environment that can be found in a large city. Wentworth said he believes the many people he has spoken with, the “heroes” he has learned from and the viewpoints he has heard have moved him from what was a staunch conservative start in life to becoming an environmental activist, a person who took a stand against the proposed Ajax mine through involvement with the Kamloops Area Preservation Association. Wentworth talked with people who disagreed with his position and he always ended the conversation with a handshake. He works with others to highlight the negative effects of genetically engineered foods. He attends screenings of documentaries on many social issues. And he’s always willing to add to his own tree of knowledge. As for his Tree of Hope, Wentworth is looking for a place to house it, somewhere people can see it and perhaps add to its messageladen streamers. He is looking for a place where it can plant its roots and inspire others, just as the tree in Paris did for him.

“Locally Owned and Operated”
Not Impark’s finest moment DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Peter Roberts was third in line at the parking kiosk at Royal Inland Hospital on a recent Monday. He had an 11 a.m. appointment at the Clinical Services Building. He arrived early, parked, walked to the payment machine and patiently waited to pay for two hours of parking. His receipt was issued at 10:52 a.m. It’s possible he was still waiting for the elevator in the building to take him to his appointment when a parking ticket was put under the windshield wiper of his car by a parking patroller working for Impark, the company that has the contract to operate the parkade at the hospital. The time on the ticket? Just one minute after Roberts paid for parking for two
hours — 10:53 a.m. The fine was $35, with $5 knocked off if he paid it the same day it was issued. Instead, Roberts called the toll-free number on the ticket to complain. He told the Impark representative it did not make sense to ticket someone while they were waiting to pay for parking. Roberts said he received advice to download the parking app on his phone so he could pay before he got out of the car. Eventually, the ticket was reversed. Craig Paynton, manager of protection, parking and fleet services for Interior Health, said Roberts’ situation is “rare,” but noted it is still concerning. There is supposed to be a grace period built into patrols to allow for delayed parking payments, he said. Not knowing the details, Paynton
could only speculate on how the oneminute difference between payment and fine occurred, but there will be an investigation into why the grace period was not followed. Paynton said Impark always recommends other options besides the parking kiosk, including promotion of the parking app, to anyone who calls. Other options it mentions include the parking meter locations at the hospital. “That’s just a standard answer,” he said. Paynton said he would encourage anyone who has parking issues at the hospital to contact IH about them. Impark also refers some callers with issues it can’t resolve to IH for a final decision. Payton said the best way to reach Interior Health is through its own toll-free number, 1-855-491-6498.

In December, the provincial government rejected the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. Last week, the federal government followed suit. KTW FILE PHOTO
Months later, Ottawa nixes Ajax MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The federal government has put the final nail in the coffin of the proposed Ajax mine project. Canada’s Ministry of Natural Resources and the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans have both rejected the proposed mine project near Kamloops as it “is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects that cannot be justified in the circumstances.” The government’s decision comes after considering a comprehensive study, comments from Indigenous groups and the public and the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures. “Our rigorous and co-operative environmental assessment process determined the environmental effects were simply too great, in particular, to the current use of lands and resources for tradi-
tional purposes by Indigenous peoples,” said Fisheries Minister Dominic LeBlanc in a press release. The proposed open-pit copper and gold mine would have operated for about 23 years about two kilometres south of Aberdeen. The mine would have processed 65,000 tonnes per day, producing 109-million pounds of copper and 99,000 ounces of gold annually. Parent company KGHM stated construction would create 1,800 temporary jobs during its 2.5-year construction phase and 500 full-time positions once operational. Last December, the B.C. government announced it wouldn’t grant the project an environmental assessment certificate, saying it would have significant adverse effects not outweighed by its potential benefits. These included effects to Indigenous

heritage and traditional land uses, as well as to human health, air quality and grasslands eco-systems. In order to proceed, Ajax needed approval from both levels of government. At that time, the federal environment minister determined Ajax was likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects and cumulative effects to Indigenous heritage and the current use of lands and resources for traditional purposes by Indigenous peoples. The project was assessed under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act and the minister referred the project back to the responsible authorities — Fisheries and Oceans Canada and Natural Resources Canada — who reached a final decision from cabinet earlier this month. The Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc and the City of Kamloops were also opposed to the project.

KIBT returns for Year No. 45 STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Six teams will stake claims for the Gary Cameron Memorial Trophy this week at the 45th annual Kamloops International Baseball Tournament, which gets underway on Thursday at Norbrock Stadium. Tournament president Wayne Harper said it remains difficult to attract teams and the cancellation of the Grand Forks International Baseball Tournament due to flooding did not help. The Alaska Goldpanners, often a fixture at KIBT, did not consider it a wise financial decision to make the trip to the Tournament Capital this year, as they usually get their money’s worth by playing in both the Kamloops and Grand Forks tournaments. “It was just bad circumstance,” Harper said. Teams returning from 2017 include the Seattle Studs, Kamloops Sun Devils and Northwest Honkers of Seattle. Rounding out the field are the Redmond Dudes, Seattle Selects and Everett Merchants. “I just hope to heck we have good crowds,” Harper said. “It’s going to be good beer-drinking weather and great baseball.” Prize money is up for grabs, with $10,000 going to the first-place team, $6,000 to the second-place club and $2,000 each to the thirdand fourth-place squads. The Studs are seven-time defending champions and have won 10 of the last 11 KIBT titles. “Redmond and the Selects, they’re college kids and it’s hard to know how the hell they’re going to make out,” Harper said. “They’ll put their best teams out there.” The Daley and Company Canada Day Classic and Sussex All-Star baseball tournaments were marred by rain on the weekend. City of Kamloops staff decided to close the fields on Monday morn-
2017
ing, meaning 42 teams from across B.C. and Alberta were sent home early. Jeff Putnam, the city’s parks and civic facilities manager, expects Norbrock will be in good condition for KIBT, with Environment Canada calling for sunny skies and temperatures hovering around 30 C this week. “We’re keeping it closed today for precautionary reasons,” Putnam said on Tuesday. “We want it in tiptop shape for KIBT. “Our staff take a great deal of pride in maintaining those fields. To say they were devastated [to cancel Monday’s action] would be an understatement. They had to do it for the right reasons, for safety and reducing future damage to the fields.” Each of the soccer fields on McArthur Island was closed on Tuesday, along with Norbrock. City staff will continue to evaluate the fields on a daily basis and reopen them as soon as possible. Notwithstanding Norbrock, each of the baseball fields on McArthur is open. The Sun Devils open KIBT against the Dudes on Thursday, with first pitch slated for 7 p.m. at Norbrock. Kamloops and the Seattle Selects will lock horns on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m. The local club will wrap round-robin play on Saturday against the Merchants, with game time set for 3 p.m. The first-place team after roundrobin play will advance to the final, which is scheduled for 2 p.m. on Sunday. A semifinal featuring the second- and third-place teams will begin at 10 a.m. on Sunday. “It looks like we’re heading for a good week,” Harper said. “There should be no reason why we can’t fill the stands.”

A ‘complete rainout’ MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
There is no crying in baseball, but weeping skies care not for the old adage. Heavy rainfall in Kamloops on the weekend forced City of Kamloops and Kamloops Minor Baseball Association staff to cancel championship Monday for two of the most important baseball tournaments on the summer schedule. The Sussex All-Star Tournament had 32 teams competing in three divisions — 11-and-under mosquito AAA,
13-and-under peewee AAA and 15-and-under bantam AAA— while the Daley and Company Canada Day Classic had 10 midget-age squads in action. “It was a complete rainout,” KMBA president Chris Balison said. “I feel for all the teams and they were quite understanding. It was completely out of our hands.” Balison toured the fields on Monday morning with city staff to find water pooling on the infields and saturated outfields. “I was soaked up to my ankles,” Balison said, noting teams were able to complete round-robin schedules on Sunday. “We had to think
about safety and damaging the fields.” Two local clubs were in the hunt for championships. The mosquito AAA Kamloops team had given up only one run in four round-robin games and was favoured to claim gold. The bantam AAA RiverDogs were gearing up for a semifinal on Monday. The midget AAA Dogs were 1-2 in round-robin play, opening the tournament with a 7-0 victory over Edmonton before falling 7-6 to Red Deer and 4-0 to North Fraser. “This happens from time to time,” Balison said. “It’s quite disappointing.”

Olynyk, Canada take aim at World Cup LORI EWING
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The final buzzer sounded on Canada’s first round of FIBA World Cup qualifying on Monday night — job No. 1 complete. Kelly Olynykof Kamloops and Phil Scrubb scored 14 points apiece, while teenager R.J. Barrett added 13, and the Canadians defeated the U.S. Virgin Island 99-69 to win their group in the opening round of FIBA Americas World Cup qualifying The game capped a successful two-week camp for a Canadian squad bolstered both by NBA reinforcements and a couple of rising teenage stars. It was one of the best senior squads ever put together and gave a tantalizing glimpse of what might be. “We’ve always said we’ve been a young international team and now we’re starting to reach our prime, and reaching our prime is a big thing right now, and it’s time, because it’s the world championships and the Olympics [coming up],” said head coach Jay Triano. Combined with two exhibition wins over China, the Canadians won four games by 30 points or more. “I’m pleased,” Triano said. “I like the fact that we had depth, our guys were locked in, we didn’t play to necessarily win games as we did one possession at a time, and I think that will bode well

Canada was coming off a 97-61 rout
of the Dominican Republic on Friday in Toronto, a victory that vaulted the Canadians atop the group. They needed to win Monday to clinch top spot. Boasting NBAers Olynyk, Brooks, Joseph, Khem Birch and Dwight Powell, plus 18-year-olds Barrett and Andrew Nembhard, a victory was practically a given before the first ball was tossed up.

ings, lingered outside the dressing room long after the game ended, before dispatching for basketball points abroad. The Canadians beat the U.S. Virgin Islands 118-89 on Feb. 22 in the Bahamas, but didn’t have their NBA reinforcements — or Barrett who was still playing high school ball — for that qualifying window. The top three teams in each of the four qualifying groups will now be split into two new groups of six teams apiece for the second round which begins in September, and has games in November and February. Olynyk and Joseph, who have always answered the call to play for Canada, said they hope the success the team has had the last two weeks continues to draw the country’s best. The notable absences in this camp were Andrew Wiggins, Jamal Murray and Tristan Thompson, although Thompson was at Friday’s game. “Kelly and I have always loved to play for our country, and as we get more talented, and we do bigger things individually and we start showing results, I think it’s definitely contagious,” Joseph said. Thirty-two countries, including seven from the Americas, will play in the World Cup — the main qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics — in China in September of 2019. Canada’s men’s team hasn’t made a World Cup appearance since 2010 and hasn’t played in an Olympics since 2000.

England wins in penalties ROB HARRIS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MOSCOW — England ended its long run of penalty misery and reached the World Cup quarter-finals for the first time in 12 years, beating Colombia 4-3 in a shootout on Tuesday. Eric Dier scored the decisive kick after a 1-1 draw. England will play Sweden in the quarter-finals in Samara on Saturday. It is the furthest England has progressed in any tournament
since the David Beckham era, when a golden generation of players exited the 2002 and 2006 World Cups in the last eight. England took the lead in a scrappy match when Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot in the 57th minute. Yerry Mina headed in an equalizer in the third minute of stoppage time. England trailed 3-2 in the shootout after Jordan Henderson’s shot was saved, but Mateus Uribe hit the bar and goalkeeper Jordan Pickford then saved Carlos Bacca’s kick.
Canucks sign free agent forwards GEMMA KARSTENS-SMITH

ANSWERS TO CROSSWORD FOUND ON A34
Vancouver Canucks’ general manager Jim Benning believes his team will be tougher to play against after signing a trio of free-agent forwards on Sunday. The Canucks inked centre Jay Beagle, 32,
and winger Antoine Roussel, 28, to four-year deals worth an average of US$3 million per year. They also added forward Tim Schaller, 27, on a two-year contract, worth an average of $1.9 million annually. Signing the 32-yearold to a four-year deal raised some eyebrows,

ST. PETERSBURG, Russia — Shy, diminutive and without that distinctive ponytail, Emil Forsberg couldn’t be more different than the larger-than-life Zlatan Ibrahimovic. They share an ability to conjure something out of nothing on a soccer field, though, as Forsberg showed in leading Sweden into the World Cup quarterfinals for the first time in 24 years. Forsberg dropped his shoulder to create space at the edge of the area and scored with a deflected shot to earn the Swedes a 1-0 victory over Switzerland on Tuesday. “It brings tears to
my eyes,’’ Forsberg said, “and makes me so proud.’’ The 26-year-old Forsberg arrived in Russia shouldering much of Sweden’s creative burden following the international retirement of Ibrahimovic, who ruled the national team for more than a decade and is the greatest player the country ever produced. Sweden will play England on Saturday. The Swiss have reached the last 16 in four of their last five appearances at the World Cup only to be eliminated without scoring a goal. The last time Sweden made it this far at the World Cup was in 1994, when the team reached the semifinals.

but the team doesn’t have any concerns about Beagle’s play deteriorating, Benning said. The Canucks capped the first day of free agency by re-signing left winger Sven Baertschi to a three-year extension worth an average $3.37 million annually.

LONDON — Eugenie Bouchard and Denis Shapovalov are off to the second round at Wimbledon. The Canadians both won first-round matches on Tuesday and will join fellow Canuck Milos Raonic in the second round. Bouchard beat British wild card Gabriella Taylor 6-0, 4-6, 6-3 in a first-round women’s match, while Shapovalov, the No. 26 seed in the men’s draw, defeated Jeremy Chardy of France 6-3, 3-6, 7-5, 6-4. A finalist at Wimbledon in 2014, Bouchard was forced into the qualification draw this year after seeing her ranking tumble to No. 191 before the tournament. The 24-year-old from Westmount, Que., is now ranked 188th after winning three qualifying matches last week. Taylor is No. 180. “I feel a lot more comfortable on the court,’’ Bouchard told reporters after the match. “I feel a little bit more like myself. You
know, I have always deep down had the belief, and it’s about, in the tough moments of the match, keeping that belief. I have that more and more now. Just trying to keep progressing.’’ Shapovalov, meanwhile, beat one of the hottest players on the ATP Tour in the 46th-ranked Chardy. In his last three tournaments, Chardy won one title, reached a final and advanced to the semifinals. The 19-yearold Shapovalov, of Richmond Hill, Ont., came into Wimbledon having lost three of his past four matches. It was his first win at Wimbledon after Shapovalov dropped his debut at the grasscourt Grand Slam last year. Bouchard returned to Grand Slam main draw action at Wimbledon after failing to qualify for the French Open. The win was just her second in the past four years in the main draw at Wimbledon. Bouchard won 73 per cent of her points on first serve, as com-
pared to just 59 per cent for Taylor. The victor converted on five of her 13 breakpoint opportunities. Bouchard said plenty of Canadians were behind her on Tuesday. “Yeah, I felt great support,’’ she said. “I saw a lot of Canadian flags. I got mobbed after the match, pretty much. But it’s a mob of love, so I liked it. Bouchard, now working with longtime tennis coach Robert Lansdorp, will face No. 17 seed Ashleigh Barty in the second round. The Australian beat Stefanie Voegele of Switzerland 7-5, 6-3 on Tuesday. “I think she’s playing great,’’ Bouchard said of Barty. “I think she loves grass. I really want to raise my level and try and play my best tennis against her and see what happens.’’ Barty beat Bouchard in their only previous match, winning a three-setter on a hard-court in Miami last year. Shapovalov will face unseeded Benoit Paire of France in the second round.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Edward (Ted) George Joslin
Celebration of Life Alice Dolynuk
Ted died peacefully in the company of family on June 24, 2018 at the age of 98. Born in London, England to George Alfred and Violet Beatrice Joslin on May 15, 1920, Ted was predeceased by his sister Mollie. He is survived by his former wife and friend Patricia (Sally) Tupholme and their four children Dominic (Mary) of Southport, Australia, Simon (Dalyce) of Victoria, BC, Jolyon and Nicolette Eadie (Vic Hamm) both of Kamloops, BC, together with their respective children and grandchildren Noel, Jessica, Joel, Dustin, Simon, Marianna, Gabrielle, Katherine, Jakob, Madison, Joe and Edward. Ted grew up in London, England where he left school at age 15 to join his father’s estate and property management firm as, in his words, “a stamp licking errand runner at a pittance wage.” He quickly earned a Certificate of Membership in the Auctioneers and Estate Agent’s Institute laying the foundation for his future real estate career in Canada.
Please join us in honouring the life of our mom and sister on Friday, July 13, 2018 at 2:00 pm at the Sandman Signature Kamloops Hotel, Savona Room, 225 Lorne Street, Kamloops, BC.
Serving with the British forces in WWII, initially with the Royal Armoured (tank) Corps and later with the Allied Forces in Egypt negotiating and securing use of lands and buildings for the war effort, Ted returned to London from his final posting in the Suez to once again take up civilian life. In 1948, he met and married Sally with whom he celebrated the birth of four children in the short span of 5 years, purchased and struggled to salvage a rundown hotel in London’s post-war economy and ultimately made the courageous and fortuitous decision to emigrate to Canada in search of adventure and a better life. The family arrived by boat in Montreal in 1956 and immediately boarded a train for Vancouver, BC. After a brief stay in the lower mainland, Ted found steady employment in Kamloops, first as the Deputy City Assessor and then as City Assessor. Always a risk taker, Ted soon found himself yearning to be his own boss and left municipal employment to start up Wescan (Real Estate) Appraisals. He later partnered with business colleagues to start up Dome Developments Ltd. His final business venture was Project Development Services. Ted worked into his early 80s before becoming a reluctant retiree. Ted invariably treated life as a grand adventure. Whether purchasing and moving onto a rustic old ranch on Barnhartvale Road, fly fishing for rainbow trout on local lakes or participating in the now defunct annual Clearwater to Kamloops Overlander Raft Race, Ted was nothing if not endlessly enthusiastic. Over the years, he was an active member in a variety of organizations including Rotary International, the Kamloops Players, the Appraisal Institute of Canada, the Kamloops Tennis Club, the Interior Authors’ Group and more recently the Thompson Valley Community Orchestral Society. Ted had an

William Orton 1923 - 2018
It is with deepest regret that we announce the passing of William Orton – Father, Businessman and Mason - on the morning of June 26, 2018 at Kamloops Seniors Village. Dad was a veteran of WWII, having entered the navy early (lying about his age). He was on loan to the British Navy for his entire service. Upon the end of the war, he declined to stay on, despite being asked to. His family needed him. After the navy, he started working in the forests of Vancouver Island. During this time, he met Mom in Nanaimo. They were wed in Nanaimo, where Dad had a small business. After a few years passed, they moved to Kamloops to open another small business. He expanded this business to the point that he learned to fly and purchased a small plane that he used to visit family and dealers across Canada. He worked in his own business until 2015. He is predeceased by our mother Beverly, his brothers Albert, Keith and Edwin, sisters Lorraine, Louise and Ruth and grandson Kurtis. He is survived by sisters Isobel and Irene, his five children Karen (Joe), Kathryn, Mark (Barb), Susan and Fred (Daphne), seven grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren. He will be missed by all. Pastor Don Maione will lead a Celebration of William’s Life in the Schoening Funeral Chapel on Friday, July 6, 2018 at 1:00 pm. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
abiding passion for politics and was an early supporter of Preston Manning’s Reform Party. If you wanted to know his politics, you only had to follow his many letters to the editor in both local and national newspapers. Ted expressed his artistic side in numerous ways. He created a lovely garden of roses and whimsy, and enjoyed watercolour and oil painting. After retirement, he wrote and self-published a memoir, a novel, a children’s story and a book of poetry. Ted also took great pleasure in golf, his “cottage” on Arbutus Street, the friendship of a loyal group of bridge players and a renewal of his faith through The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Throughout his life, Ted was ever the restless soul, always searching. Whether or not his move from staid old England to Canada satisfied his quest or fulfilled his inner hunger, only Ted would know. What is certain, however, is that his leap of faith in uprooting his young family and moving to Canada afforded his four children an immensely rich life changing opportunity. Ted’s willingness to brace the unknown is a gift for which his family will forever be grateful. An oft’ heard refrain from those who met him was, “Ted is ever so charming.” And indeed he relished the opportunity to engage others during his every adventure, be it a creative endeavor or a calamity. Sometimes it was hard to keep up as he lived by the motto ‘out with the old and in with the new’ but, regardless of his choices, he always embraced life with unbounded optimism and enthusiasm. Above all, Ted lived his life according to his own agenda, sometimes for the better and occasionally not so much, but always on his own terms. Ted’s family thank the staff and residents of Kamloops Seniors Village for welcoming Ted into their community in his years and Dr. Harold Stefanyk and the Village staff for the outstanding care Ted received at the end of his life. A Celebration of Ted’s Life will be held on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at 1:00 pm at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, 2165 Parkcrest Ave, Kamloops, BC. Family and friends are welcome. If so desired, in lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial donation to a charity of one’s choice. Condolences may be made to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

Daniel Jerry Schapansky 1958 - 2018
Dan Schapansky passed away suddenly on June 10, 2018 in San Francisco at the age of 60. He is survived by his father Jerry Schapansky (Sharon), mother Lois Moore, twin brother Darrell Schapansky (Lee), sister Diane Schapansky, sister Lynn Aubin (Rene), sister Susan Mcphee (Colin), many nieces and nephews, son Jason Schapansky (Shannon and grandchildren Chad and Callie), daughter BrandieLynn Patenaude (Mark and grandchildren Aiden and Addie), former spouse Marlene Cousens and her children Brandon, Heather, Kim, Belinda and their families. He is predeceased by his son and fallen firefighter Chad Schapansky in 2004. Dan was born in New Westminster, BC on April 9, 1958. Dan was always sure to say it was BEFORE his twin brother Darrell. Dan spent his early childhood in Quesnel and then spent his teenage years in Coquitlam where he graduated in 1976. Dan started his first job in the building supply industry, alongside his brother when he was 16 years old. Dan spent the first part of his life sharing everything with his brother Darrell; first minibike, first truck, first house, second house……. third house. During this time Dan started a family with Susan and they had three children Chad, Jason and Brandie-Lynn. In 1998, Dan and wife Marlene moved to Clearwater and purchased the Irly Bird building supply store. Over the years they ran and grew the store to what it is today. The store, now RONA, is filled with

employees that are very much Dan’s family members. Dan spent the last several years of his life, living it to the fullest. He travelled the world visiting many different countries, following NASCAR races and his son Jason’s stock car racing. When not out of the country, Dan would drop in on Brandie-Lynn or Jason anytime he was nearby, growing the father/child relationships to their full potential. Dan couldn’t help but pull out his phone and snap a selfie with each of the grandchildren every time he visited. Other than his family, Dan had two prized possessions. A 1970 Buick Skylark that he purchased in 1980 and painted with an eagle tribute for late son Chad and his 2009 Saturn Sky “Blue Eagle” which was his baby when he didn’t have his children or grandchildren around. A Celebration of Life for Dan Schapansky will take place at 2:00 pm on Saturday, July 7, 2018 at the Royal Canadian Legion, Clearwater, BC. Donations can be made in lieu of flowers to the Clearwater Volunteer Fire Department Chad’s Park fund. Online condolences may be sent to DrakeCremation.com

Pennies
From Heaven
by Charles L. Mashburn I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

Never Quit
AUTHOR UNKNOWN
When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!

THE LITTLE UNICORN by Peggy Kociscin, Albuquerque, New Mexico
There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.
He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun.
The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.
In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.
For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been.
He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted.
He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.
His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.
All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew.
He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night.
To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.
His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart.
He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze.
His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.
But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace.
But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry.
She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’”
A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.” His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
There are six people: George, Hanna, Ian, Jane, Keith and Lisa. Hanna is the oldest female. Keith is the youngest male. George is older than exactly two of the females and this states nothing about his age with respect to the other males. Lisa is younger than exactly two of the males and this states nothing about her age with respect to the other females. George, Ian and Keith are male, while Hanna, Jane and Lisa are female. Given the above, is Jane younger than Lisa, is Jane older than Lisa or can it not be determined?

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES
ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, when everything is going your way, you are absolutely glowing. But if things don’t come naturally to you, frustration may set in. Find a balance between the two.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, planning stages are over and now you’re about to turn your goals into reality. Just be sure to adapt to the changing environment as things unfold.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2 Gemini, you might be seeking ways to help others in need, but you do not have patience when things take longer than expected. Stick to the plan and see it through.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22
Cancer, it is important to support others’ goals and the steps they take to achieve them, even if you do not necessarily agree with their formula for success.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Happiness has less to do with what is happening in the world and more with your own perceptions, Leo. Keep this in mind as you move forward in life.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, challenges at work may be tiring you out. People may seem like they are all over the map instead of working together. Try to get everyone going in the same direction.
JULY 4 - JULY 10, 2018 LIBRA
- Sept 23/Oct 23 Avoid going too far off in your own direction this week, Libra. Before making any rash decisions, take some time to ask questions and get answers.
SCORPIO
- Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if something doesn’t initially work to your liking, don’t be shy about giving it another go. The challenges ahead will be worth it when you ultimately succeed.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Your creativity and emotions are linked this week, Sagittarius. Pour your heart and efforts into a special project that reflects just how you are feeling.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Nothing in a current relationship is unfolding as you had expected, Capricorn. That’s alright. This sense of adventure that keeps you guessing is a welcome change.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, working closely with others is one of your strong points. Disagreements on how to approach different projects can be tricky to navigate, but you’re up to the task.
PISCES
- Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week there may be little separation between your career and personal life. If that works for you, forget the naysayers.
