THE IMPOSSIBLE, IMPROBABLE PLAYOFF PUSH BECOMES REALITY

and the Kelowna Rockets, the devious alliance that rules them all. Some Kamloops fans have crazy theories, like the one in which their team’s 2020 Memorial Cup bid was pointless because the Rockets were in the mix. With Bruce Hamilton involved, the Blazers were drawing dead, some of these fans will tell you. For those conspiracy theorists, Tuesday night at Sandman Centre must have felt therapeutic.

Kobe Mohr celebrates his game-winning goal on Tuesday night at Sandman Centre as a full house goes bonkers. As KTW reporter Marty Hastings writes, it has been a long time since the barn on Mark Recchi Way was pulsating with such energy. The win capped a remarkable playoff push that defied long odds.

Teenaged girl accused in plot to attack school with weapons released on bail TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The second of two teens accused of plotting to use weapons to attack students and staff at a Kamloops high school has been granted bail, but a judge warned the girl she could be back behind bars if she threatens to shoot anyone. The two teenagers, a boy and a girl, are facing charges of conspiracy to commit assault with a weapon and uttering threats in relation to an alleged Feb. 7 plot targeting students, teachers and administrators at the school. The teens cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Any information that could identify them, including the name of the school they are alleged to have planned to target, cannot be published. A separate publication ban covers the details of the allegations against the pair. The girl was granted bail during a brief hearing on Wednesday in Kamloops provincial court.

The teenagers each maintained troubling social-media profiles. The boy’s Instagram account was named for a notorious U.S. school shooting and included text and images referencing mass slayings. The girl’s Instagram account featured a photo of what appears to be a school shooting in progress. As part of their bail conditions, neither teen is allowed to use social media or access the internet, except for educational purposes with the consent of their bail officers. The boy is also allowed to watch Netflix. Both teens were arrested on Feb. 7. The boy was released on bail six days later, but the girl was held in custody for a 30-day psychiatric assessment. A psychiatric report stemming from that assessment was used as evidence during her bail hearing on Tuesday, but its findings are bound by a publication ban. The girl will live under house arrest with a relative while on bail. She will be allowed to leave home only

during a medical emergency, with the permission of her bail officer or in the care of her caregiver, who is named in the bail order. The girl will also not be allowed to go within 20 metres of any school building or grounds or have any contact with her coaccused. “You are to make no threats to damage property, harm people or use firearms of any kind,” Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison told the girl while reading her bail conditions, warning her that a breach would likely result in more time in custody. “Take very great care, if you would, to abide by the terms of this order.” The alleged plot was not acknowledged publicly by police or school district officials until nearly a week later, when KTW reported on it. After the story was published, school officials sent a letter to parents of students in the district assuring them such threats are dealt with seriously. Both teens are slated to return to court on April 8.

FIRE HYDRANT FLOW TESTING

Between March 15 and May 30, 2019, Kamloops Fire Rescue will be inspecting the City’s fire hydrants and conducting tests to ensure adequate flow and operation. The program will run from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm, seven days a week. Please note that all private hydrant owners must also have their hydrants tested at this time. Flow testing may temporarily result in poor water pressure and/or high turbidity levels for up to four hours. If you detect turbidity, run a cold water tap and avoid doing laundry until the turbidity clears up. Fire Prevention Bylaw No. 10-37 requires a minimum of 1 m clearance around a hydrant in all directions for the safety of emergency and maintenance personnel.

What are Employees Entitled to? Vacation Season is Coming

We get many questions about an employee’s entitlement to vacation pay and time off work. With the summer vacation season fast approaching, now is an excellent time to look at vacation entitlement under the Employment Standards Act (“ESA”).

Extra money from Ottawa could be used to help with the costs of a proposed performing-arts centre.

Federal budget may bring extra $3.7 million to city for infrastructure work JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ deputy mayor is lauding a surprise funding announcement for municipalities in Tuesday’s federal budget. The one-time fund of $2.2 billion effectively doubles the federal gas-tax fund, money earmarked for local infrastructure projects, such as public transit, roads, bridges, and culture, sport and recreation infrastructure. “This is great news for Kamloops. We’re going to get more federal money that can go to infrastructure,” said Dale Bass, who is deputy mayor this week while Mayor Ken Christian is out of town. “It can go to transit, it can go to roads and bridges and recreation centres and that’s always good.” Of that money, the Union of BC Municipalities is reporting that $280 million will flow to local governments in the province. UBCM president and Kamloops Coun. Arjun Singh said based on current annual funding, it amounts to an extra $3.7 million for Kamloops. The city need not apply for the funds as cash will automatically flow through the UBCM’s community works fund, which is based on a per capita formula and is delivered multiple times per year. When that money will come to Kamloops remains unclear. In an email to KTW, the federal Department of Finance said it does not have details regarding what funding Kamloops might receive. David Hallinan, the city’s plan-

ning and procurement manager, said the money could arrive by the third quarter of this year, but notedit’s too early to say. The funding announcement follows lobbying by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities due to infrastructure projects stalled in Eastern Canada. Singh called the funding “good news for local governments,” but pointed to an infrastructure funding gap. He said a push toward asset management, wherein municipalities are assessing needs of city assets for everything from roads to pipes and trees, has led to municipalities facing significant costs. He said municipalities also face infrastructure needs when it comes to mitigating extreme weather as a result of climate change. “I think we do need more money,” Singh said. “I think the infrastructure gap is still very large and so there is a very large need.” Singh said he is curious to hear how the other federal parties address the issues in this election year. The Liberal government has approved more than 33,000 projects worth $19.9 billion in federal funding under new and existing infrastructure projects. The government hopes to kickstart projects in four provinces — Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and New Brunswick — with some jurisdictions apparently slower to prioritize projects. “We haven’t been able to do exactly what we expected and that was the reason for the municipal infrastructure top-up,’’

Finance Minister Bill Morneau said. “What you shouldn’t do is take this as a conclusion on how we will go forward, but what it is, is an important way for us to move forward now in getting some projects that are stalled going.’’ While it remains unclear exactly how that money — which is roughly equivalent to the city’s tax increase this year — will be spent in Kamloops, Bass expects the money will be spent on projects already on the books, which could include upgrades to the HVAC system at Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre, West Victoria Street reconstruction or additional transit hours. “What I’m not clear on, and I haven’t been able to get an answer from city hall yet, is if it can apply to new projects and if that could entail starting the PAC this year,” Bass said, referencing the proposed performing-arts centre. Hallinan said the money could in fact go toward a PAC. Other projects on the horizon include the Stuart Wood cultural centre, Tournament Capital Centre upgrades, the Summit Drive connector pedestrian overpass and the outdoor skating rink and Riverside Park enhancements, some of which would not qualify. Hallinan said conversations will occur among council and the executive to determine priorities. “To be determined, I think is the best way to answer at this point,” Hallinan said. — with a file from Canadian Press

If an employee falls under the ESA, they are entitled to get both vacation time off work and vacation pay. After an employee has worked with you for at least 12 consecutive months, that employee is entitled to at least 2 weeks off for vacation. This vacation time is extended to 3 weeks off once the employee has worked 5 consecutive years. This entitlement extends to both parttime and full time employees. Many employers do not know that the ESA requires them to ensure that their employees take these 2 or 3 weeks off. In addition to the vacation time off entitlement, employees are also entitled to vacation pay. An employer has to pay the employee at least 4% of total wages after 5 calendar days of employment, and at least 6% after 5 consecutive years.

A fire at an abandoned Wilson Street house this week has been deemed suspicious and Mounties are now investigating it as a possible arson. “We’re not sure at this time that it is arson, but it seems suspicious,” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. There is no evidence, at this point, to suggest the fire is related to organized crime in the city, she said. Kamloops Fire Rescue responded to the house at 156 Wilson St. at 2:45 a.m. Tuesday

side of the building. Cooper said the main reason the fire department wanted to use the machine was to ensure there were no fatalities, but police don’t believe anyone was in the building at the time. According to police, the building was boarded up after another fire in 2018 damaged most of its interior. The house caught fire last February — a week after police seized weapons from the home as part of a shooting investigation in which a man was wounded in the foot. The house also caught fire in 2016 when sparks from a chainsaw ignited spilled fuel.

Fire investigators have been unable to determine what caused a fire at the Emterra recycling centre in Valleyview on Tuesday. Kamloops firefighters were called at about 4:15 p.m. when a pile of cardboard went up in flames behind the Kelly

Douglas Road facility. Investigators know the fire started outside, at the building’s west end, but have been unable to figure out what sparked the blaze, said Kamloops Fire Rescue platoon Capt. Darryl Cooper. “Talking to Emterra employees, sometimes they will get a lot of mixed recyclables that shouldn’t be in there

— chemicals or steel or whatever that [can] cause a chain reaction, but the official cause is undetermined,” Cooper said. He said fire investigators are typically able to trace the blaze back to a point of origin, but that hasn’t been possible in this case as the fire was spread over a large area containing a lot of debris.

Cooper said the fire started in a large pile of cardboard and led to an active rubber conveyor belt catching fire, which carried some of the fire inside the building. Those flames were met by the building’s sprinkler system. “We sent crews in to check for extension, but everything was good,” Cooper said.

after being called by an RCMP officer. Firefighters on scene heard two explosions coming from the building, which had no gas or electricity running to it, KFR platoon Capt. Darryl Cooper told KTW. Shelkie said police are in the process of collecting video surveillance footage from properties in the area. Cooper said the fire department is no longer pursuing the option of using an excavator to investigate the cause of the fire — an idea considered when the building was deemed too dangerous to enter. KFR investigators have since learned the fire began on the out-

MP McLeod awaits word on challengers in election MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

With the federal election seven months away, only one candidate has been confirmed in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding. Incumbent MP Cathy McLeod will once again carry the Conservative flag as she seeks her fourth consecutive term in office. In the 2015 federal election, McLeod prevailed in her toughest test to date, fending off New Democrat Bill Sundhu and Liberal Steve Powrie to retain her seat. McLeod finished about 3,000 votes ahead of Sundhu and Powrie and captured 35 per cent of the vote. In the 2011 election, McLeod secured 52 per cent of the vote, while she received 46 per cent of the vote in the 2008 election. McLeod is awaiting word on her opponents. Terry Lake, the former Kamloops mayor and B.C. health minister, is considering running for the Liberal nomination and has said he intends to reach a decision by the end of March. Lake confirmed he is being vetted by the party and is collecting the signatures required from local riding association members before he can be declared eligible for nominations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t made that final decision, but I wanted to get the process underway so that when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m ready to make a decision, they can get organized quickly if, in fact, it

CATHY MCLEOD

is a go,â&#x20AC;? Lake said. Lake said the ongoing controversy involving the federal Liberals and SNCLavalin has not impacted his decision. Having discussed the situation with caucus members of the party and having followed the situation as it unfolds, Lake believes the issue was a case of a difference of opinion on what constitutes pressure or influence. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And because this is the first time the government has been through this deferred prosecution process, I think people donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t understand where the solid lines are, so no matter what party was in power, I think this might have been an issue,â&#x20AC;? Lake said. While nothing has yet given him pause for concern, Lake said he is aware the ethics commissioner is looking into the matter, noting he continues to follow developments. Meanwhile, Sundhu is now president of the NDPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding association and will not be seeking his partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination. He said the riding association has an ongoing vetting process for

potential candidates, based on various political parties dealing with skeletons in the closets of their candidates during the 2015 election campaign. He said interested candidates must complete â&#x20AC;&#x153;an extensive and detailed candidate packageâ&#x20AC;? that will be reviewed by the national party. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have 338 ridings and, possibly, more than one candidate in each riding, I can tell you right now thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a backlog in Ottawa,â&#x20AC;? Sundhu said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can say that one or two have definitely said for sure and then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s another one or two have said, maybe, and theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still waiting to decide. And we say to them, you better decide soon or the ship is going to leave port.â&#x20AC;? Sundhu said the local riding association hopes to have a candidate announced in the spring, possible in April or May. Federal Green Leader Elizabeth May, who visited Kamloops in early March while on a nationwide pre-election tour, said she has heard there are three people seriously considering seeking the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo nomination. Matt Greenwood was the Green candidate in 2015 and is now president of the local Green riding association. He said he is undecided in whether to again seek the nomination this year. Greenwood told KTW the riding association is still waiting to see who puts their names forward, but would like to

have a nomination date set within the next few months â&#x20AC;&#x201D; by May or June. The Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Party of Canada â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Canadaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest federal party created by former Conservative MP Maxime Bernier â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has drawn interest from potential local candidates. Regional co-ordinator Glen Walushka said there are three or four people considering the partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nomination locally. The party plans to introduce its candidates from six southern Interior ridings, including Kamloops, during an event in Kelowna on the final weekend in May. Walushka said Bernier will be in attendance for the two-day event. He said the party wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t likely have its candidates in place earlier than the end of May as it is still waiting for Elections Canada to officially register its riding associations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It kind of puts us a little bit behind the eight ball, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfortunately something we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do too much about,â&#x20AC;? Walushka said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had a lot of registrations, including the one from Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, in Elections Canada hands as early as the first part of February, and here it is near the end of March theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not registered.â&#x20AC;? Walushka said there are a number of candidates waiting, but noted the party canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t officially vet and nominate them until it gets the go-ahead from Elections Canada. The federal elec-

tion will be held on Oct. 21. There are 338 seats in Parliament. As of Thursday, the party

distribution of seats is as follows: Liberal (179), Conservative (97), NDP (41), Bloc Quebecois (10),

Independent (5), Green (1), Peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Party (1). There are three vacant seats.

BUDGET CIRCUS ERODES TRUST

ome Canadians think the Conservatives are on a righteous, truth-seeking path in their determination to hold the federal Liberal government accountable in the SNC-Lavalin affair. Some Canadians think what happened in the House of Commons this week was disrespectful on the part of the Conservatives when they shouted down Finance Minister Bill Morneau as he attempted to present his government’s last budget before the Oct. 21 general election. The question is whether Canadians really missed anything, considering on Aug. 27, 2015 — during the election campaign that brought him to power — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised, “We will balance the budget in 2019.” And here we are, with a deficit of $19.8 billion in the 2019-20 fiscal year. What’s that Scotty said in Star Trek? “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.” Doubters among us strongly suspect the Liberals are making all sorts of big spending promises in the hopes of making the SNCLavalin affair go away, besides, of course, buoying up their chance of retaining power. Probably. Doubters also suspect the Conservative’s expressed horror at the Liberal government’s conduct in this matter is fuelled more by opportunism than a keen sense of justice. Probably. One certain, undeniable truth is this: What happened in the House of Commons this week was a circus, and it suggests we are in for a real dilly of an election campaign this year as the parties vie for power, if not the electorate’s trust. After all, is the former really attainable anymore? Can any of them really earn Canadians’ trust, considering the shoddy show that Parliament has become? — Surrey Now-Leader

UnPACing arts centre

t was during January’s Mayor’s Gala for the Arts that Mayor Ken Christian addressed the packed house at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre as he spoke of the importance of the arts in this city known for sports tournaments. The gala was held just 11 days after Kelson Group owner and noted philanthropist Ron Fawcett appeared before council with an impressive PAC 2.0 proposal, an idea still being worked on to see a state-of-the-art performing-arts centre rise on what is now a parking lot downtown at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. The Fawcetts — Ron and wife Rae — are serious about the proposal, so serious they spent millions buying an adjacent property that would be used as part of the peforming-arts centre. In 2015, the couple pledged $5 million of their own money, to be used toward the $91-million PAC proposal that was ultimately defeated by voters in that year’s referendum. Proponents like the idea. They envision the arts centre becoming a catalyst for a significant revitalization of the downtown core, a cultural hub whose spokes will improve much of the area in every direction. There are economic studies that support that view, locally and in other cities, showing the surprisingly deep financial impact the arts have across a broad spectrum of society. Opponents of the 2015 referendum will still oppose any bid to

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS make the PAC rise today. Their opposition is the extra money they will have to pay in taxes to help fund the art centre’s construction and annual operations. They argued — and will again — that not a penny should be spent on something as frivolous as an arts centre until the last pothole in Kamloops is filled. For some, apparently, a smooth ride home does more for the soul than a stirring performance of the Sound of Music. The debate over the proposed performing-arts centre has become so much more crucial in the past few weeks, since we learned in mid-February that the theatre in Kamloops — venerable Sagebrush, attached to South Kamloops secondary in South Kamloops — will be closed until the fall (or longer) due to a cracked roof truss. The sudden closure meant organizers of myriad events — Western Canada Theatre plays, Kamloops Symphony Orchestra performances, touring acts like Tom Cochrane and Red Rider,

school ceremonies and those really long end-of-year dance recitals — had to scramble to find alternate venues. I am sure some are still scouring the city as the options — the Coast, Pavilion Theatre, church auditoriums, community halls and school theatres and gyms — are a far cry from what Sagebrush offers actors, musicians and dancers alike. And that is a salient point — while Sagebrush is heads and shoulders above all other venues in Kamloops, Sagebrush itself is overbooked, under-sized and over-sized for some events and a bit outdated. That a theatre in desperate need of a new big brother exposes such a lack of arts infrastructure in the city when it suddenly closes should be argument enough for the need for a PAC as proposed by the Fawcetts. But, really, as Christian noted in his State of the City address last week to a decidedly business crowd (the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce), the same energy that went into creating the Tournament Capital brand can be injected into the arts and culture centre. It is, Christian said, a debate that transcends a performingarts centre building; the facility, when built, will be the foundation of a renaissance of the arts in Kamloops, one that is long overdue. We can build it now or wait until the final roof truss is cracked and beyond repair — but we will have to build it regardless. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ANOTHER VIEW ON VACCINES AND THE MEASLES OUTBREAK

REIN IN THE RED-LIGHT RUNNERS Editor: I’m writing in frustration. I work at Thompson Rivers University and commute every day from Pineview Valley, leaving for work at 7:30 a.m. and returning home between 4 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. I see people running red lights at least once per trip, but usually two or three times, all at different lights. About two years ago, I watched a city bus roar through the Hillside/Notre Dame light on a full red. When I called police, I was transferred to the traffic exten-

sion and no one answered. So I emailed my concern to BC Transit. The response was one of concern, but also with a mild excuse: “At times our drivers can be under pressure to keep to the published schedules; however, safety has to be our top priority.” For two years, I’ve been watching this happen every morning and every afternoon. I don’t feel I can call the police because I don’t have vehicle information — and it’s literally happening multiple times per trip.

A previous KTW story discussed newly installed red-light cameras. We need more. It used to be people would push a stale yellow and hit red at the end, what we would call a typical red-light runner. These days, the car behind them is hitting a very brief yellow and travelling under mostly red. I am amazed someone hasn’t yet been T-boned. No one can claim to be a perfect driver, including myself, but this is getting out of hand. Lynda Worth Kamloops

A REASON FOR NO SEATBELTS ON BUSES Editor: A recent letter to the editor outlined many good reasons to have seatbelts on school buses. As a former Alberta school trustee, I wrestled with this issue many times and the decision to oppose them was based solely on the fact that speed in evacuating the vehicle is of the essence in an accident. The driver is the person responsible for seeing

that students are evacuated safely. We could not guarantee that in the event of a crash or, God forbid, a fire, the driver would be able to do that. It is a thorny issue and I hope some day soon there will be a solution. Elaine Dafoe Kamloops

Editor: I was shocked to see the suggestion in the Feb 20 KTW editorial that we should have mandatory vaccinations (‘Listen to facts and vaccinate’): This would be a dangerous infringement on personal rights. If we allow this, what else will be forced on us? There seems to be a lot of fear around the measles. In the old days, parents knew how to handle it. They would have measles parties, bringing their kids over to a sick kid’s house so they could get it over with and have lifelong immunity. Measles did kill, but before the measles vaccine was introduced, the death rate had declined by more than 98 per cent due to better nutrition and living conditions. The measles vaccine isn’t even as effective as claimed. Outbreaks include vaccinated and unvaccinated people. The Chinese are

having measles outbreaks in populations that have up to 99 per cent measles vaccine uptake. It is also affecting those younger than one and older than 20, demographics in which it is much more dangerous — and that rarely happened before. The vaccine does not give long-term immunity and those vaccinated can shed the virus, infecting others. Do you know what does give lifetime immunity? Getting the measles naturally. This is what gave the populations herd immunity, but the vaccines have taken this herd immunity away and there are predictions tthere may be an epidemic of measles once this lifetime immunity is gone and there is an exposure. There are huge profits in vaccines and it must never be allowed to influence the science. The 1998 study by

Dr. Andrew Wakefield and others in Britain is often cited by those who advocate for vaccines. That study only said a possible link should be researched. The study did not conclude that the MMP (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine caused autism. This was not bad science. It was an attempt by industry to punish Wakefield for even suggesting such a thing, making other doctors and scientists afraid of even doing further research. What kind of science is that? Science needs to be able to do its job without results being suppressed by those who make lots of money from the product being researched. We need to be logical. We need facts over fear. I urge everyone to do their own research on this subject. Kristin Saunders Kamloops

by sweeping their sidewalks and driveways onto the streets, though not in piles. Spread it out cleanly on the roadway. Park in the driveway, if possible. Downtown residents can expect notification in April to park on the even or odd side of the road, depending on the sweeping schedule. As for potholes, Farrow said Old Man Winter was kinder to city asphalt this past winter than he was the previous three years, with far less damage noted. Areas to be repaired include Valleyview Drive, Rogers Way, Tranquille Road, Gleneagles Drive and areas brought to the attention of the city. Farrow said residents can call the civic operations department at 250-828-3461 or use the My Kamloops app to report potholes. While the city works to address problem areas that are concerns to residents, Farrow said it can lead to chasing complaints at all times. “As soon as we know about them, we fix them, but that takes us away from less of a systematic approach than what we attempt to do,” he said. Farrow said the department has benefited from additional work hours, which were implemented as a result of a budget request this year at city hall.

As sunshine cascades over Kamloops this week, the city’s streets crew is shifting gears toward spring cleanup, patching up potholes and sweeping the streets. However, snowplows remain ready to go, just in case. “You just never know,” city streets manager Glen Farrow said, noting temperatures in the upper elevations in the city continue to dip below freezing and could require ice control. “We’re prepared for it.” Though city staff remain cautious, spring officially sprung this week (at 2:58 p.m. on Wednesday) and the forecast looks promising for those who would rather lather up in sunscreen and head to Pioneer Park than layer up in parkas and drive up the hill to Sun Peaks. Looking back at the winter that was, Farrow said the city is in a “pretty good position” with its annual snow-clearing budget, with $600,000 of the $2 million allotted used since Jan. 1. In 2018, city snow clearing went over budget by $300,000. The financial overage, however, did not break the bank for the city as Farrow explained the $300,000 was offset by surpluses in the overall streets budget. Those same city workers who plowed the streets have been trying to sweep streets during the past two to three weeks, though below-zero temperatures below pose challenges because water runs in the sweepers and issues can emerge with valves and water lines. Remaining snow windrows have also made that work tricky. Those weather-related challenges in a city built among hills with mixed elevations is why lower-elevation areas are tackled first. Right now, crews are working on the North Shore and a subcontractor is working in the far reaches of Westsyde. On the flip side, the slow melt has so far prevented spring flooding and has been a blessing for the city’s utility department. “Often we have conflicting priorities,” Farrow said. Street sweeping could continue into late May. Residents can help

TNRD cash agreements still in place for pipeline Four regional electoral areas in line for $845K if controversial pipeline expansion project is approved in May JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson-Nicola Regional District CAO Sukh Gill says Trans Mountain has committed to honouring its community benefits agreement, should the pipeline expansion project proceed. Four electoral areas stand to gain a combined $845,000 for specific community projects, including: $175,000 to Vavenby, Birch Island and Black Pool for community parks; $350,000 to Blue River and Avola for parks, trails and education; $170,000 to Little Fort for road upgrades and landscaping and $150,000 to Black Pines for drinking water infrastructure. Trans Mountain president and CEO Ian Anderson provided an update last week to the TNRD board of directors. TNRD communications manager Michelle Nordstrom said Anderson outlined employment benefits for the region. The company has said it will try to hire as many local employees as possible. Work camps are expected to be built in three TNRD communities — Blue River, Clearwater

Singh raising concerns about pipeline project A Kamloops councillor is concerned protests could erupt in Kamloops should the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project be approved in May. Arjun Singh, who supports the project as a transitional step in society’s move away from relying in fossil fuels, expects the federal government will approve the project on May 22 and said protests could arise, including in Kamloops, during construction. Should the twinning project be given the green light, work could begin in the Kamloops Airport area, where the pipeline crosses the Thompson River, this summer. Singh pointed to protests in

and Merritt — with construction beginning as early as this summer. Kamloops will not have a camp as workers locally will stay in hotels. Earlier this month, the National Energy Board recommended approval of the project, contingent upon 156 conditions being

Burnaby and said that while Trans Mountain has committed to providing security, ultimately Kamloops RCMP would be responsible for maintaining order. “The interesting thing there is, guess who pays for the policing?” Singh said. “That’s going to be interesting. They’re starting to build potentially in the middle of spring or summer, right in the middle of extreme weather season, potentially. How are they going to staff up, all of the things they’re going to need around security, right? Around the pipeline route.” KTW is awaiting word from Trans Mountain about how it is dealing with community concerns on security.

met. The federal government — which purchased the pipeline from Kinder Morgan last summer for $4.5 billion — is expected to hand down a final decision on the expansion project’s fate on May 22. “If they give a favourable deci-

sion on that, then that’ll mean construction is going to start within the region of work camps,” Nordstrom said. “We have several work camps that are slated to be constructed to house all of the staff that are going to be building the pipeline. In advance of any of the actual work, they need to get the camps set up.” The Trans Mountain pipeline project seeks to twin the existing 1,150 kilometres of pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby. Work was halted last summer when the Federal Court of Appeal overturned prior government approval, citing a lack of meaningful consultations with First Nations and negative impacts on marine life off B.C.’s coast. TNRD communities impacted by the pipeline expansion project include Kamloops (which has 29 kilometres of the pipe running through its lands), Clearwater, Avola, Blue River, Vavenby, Barriere, Merritt and Black Pines. Kamloops has a $700,000 community benefits agreement in place with Trans Mountain, while Tk’emlups te Secwepemc has a $3-million deal.

One TNRD director asked whether high-speed internet services would come to communities as a result of the work camps. “That was a question that the president was going to get back to us on,” Nordstrom said. “He didn’t have an answer for that. But something interesting, just to think about, when they are doing these big projects and needing to provide services like internet, it could be a benefit to the communities if it happens.” The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and Trans Mountain are co-hosting a business-readiness workshop for the pipeline expansion project on Tuesday, March 26, from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m., at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way in Aberdeen. The event is being held for anyone interested in applying for work or responding to requests for proposals. The event is free to attend, though registration is required.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Light the Night organizer Shane Hanna is hoping for a good turnout at the inaugural walk to raise money to fund research into blood-borne and other cancers. Hanna’s wife, Nancy, died last spring from complications during treatment for leukemia. The Light the Night Walk will be held on April 13 in Riverside Park.

Lighting the night in April for cancer research JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

hane Hanna will not be focused on March 31 this year, the day his “sweetheart” of more than two decades and wife Nancy Delwel-Hanna died last year from complications during treatment for leukemia. Instead, the 62-year-old Kamloops widower chose to celebrate her 49th birthday with friends in December and will channel his grief during that difficult first anniversary into a good cause. On April 13, Hanna will bring to Kamloops the Light the Night Walk to honour Nancy and fund research for a cure. “A friend of mine said to me the other day: ‘Honour the past, live in the present,’” Hanna said. “So this is doing that for Nanc and, at the same time, moving forward and doing some good things. Hopefully, we can raise some money.” The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada hosts the event — a night walk at which participants don lanterns — in a dozen communities across the country. In addition, volunteers and schools host dozens more. Hanna said family members on Team Nancy at the Calgary event last fall asked him to donate, sparking the idea to bring the event to Kamloops. “When they did that, I started to kind of look a little deeper and I checked Kamloops and we didn’t have one,” Hanna said. “I contacted the Leukemia Lymphoma Society and I said, ‘Is there a reason there isn’t one in Kamloops or is it

The Light the Night Walk in Calgary last fall included Team Nancy, composed of relatives of Nancy Delwel-Hanna.

just that nobody’s done it?’ And it was nobody’s done it. They were really excited we wanted to do it.” Hanna has since rallied family, friends and corporate donors, who are lending their time and money and lacing up their shoes for the cause. Unlike most other walks for causes, this event is held at dusk, with participants gathering at 5 p.m. Sounds from Kamloops musician Matt Stanley will fill springtime air at Riverside Park and walkers can chow down on barbecued smokies before they are handed a lantern to create a stream of lights along the five-kilometre route. White lights will be given to supporters, red lights are for survivors and gold signify a memorial. One red light will be held by an Armstrong woman who was diagnosed with leukemia within a week of Nancy’s diagnosis and received treatment alongside her in the Lower Mainland. “They went through everything. They literally did the journey together,” Hanna said. “And she’s coming as a survivor, so I think that’s really cool.”

Walkers are encouraged to post online the fundraiser and seek pledges. Hanna, who joked about his lack of social-media skills, was thrilled to raise $900 in 24 hours after posting the event to Facebook. There is a ways to go, however, with hopes of raising $10,000 in the event’s first year. Real Canadian Superstore employees will help in the week leading up to the walk by asking customers to donate a toonie to their bill. The money will go toward finding a cure for blood cancer — which can go into remission, but is not curable — and other cancers. “One of the interesting things I found is that 40 per cent of the cancer therapies that are in place now and 50 per cent of the drugs started with blood-born disease cancer research,” Hanna said. “So, no matter what cancer has affected what family, chances are they’re going to be using a research tool that started from the blood cancers.” Register for the event online at lightthenight.ca/walk-locations/ bc-yukon/kamloops. Registration, which can be done as an individual or as part of a team, will continue until the day of the event.

TNRD board to talk pay raises KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District board has deferred the issue of a pay raise for directors to its meeting at the end of the month. The board was expected to ratify changes at its March 14 board meeting, but the TNRD’s finance director told KTW a busier than usual agenda that week led to the deferral. The board will now discuss the matter on March 28. During a committee of the whole meeting in February, the board approved sending a revision of its remuneration bylaw to its next board meeting. Electoral area directors would

see a 19-per-cent increase (to $23,700 from $19,875 in 2018), while municipal directors (including the five Kamloops council members on the board) would see an 11-percent increase (to $14,400 from $13,028). In addition, the board chair, Kamloops-area resident Ken Gillis, would see an increase of 18 per cent (to $46,300 from $39,100), while vice-chair Steven Rice of Spences Bridge would see an increase of 27 per cent (to $28,200 from $22,213). Per meeting pay would also increase to $160 from $150 and staff are recommending the addition of emergency response pay, at $160 per meeting. There would also be an increase in the

The regional district bases its remuneration on nine surrounding regional districts, some of which raised their wages to compensate for federal legislative changes eliminating a tax break for politicians.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops Mounties are searching for two suspects who robbed the Sahali Esso gas station on Monday morning. Two men entered the gas station at Columbia Street and McGill Road at about 5:30 a.m. and demanded money from the clerk. One suspect appeared to have a handgun, while the other was holding what looked like a can of pepper spray. Screenshots from security footage show the two men pointing their apparent weapons over the front counter. The suspects left the gas station with cash from the register and headed northbound on foot. Police said the clerk was not injured. The suspect who was holding the gun was wearing a black jacket and blue jeans and had a white bandana covering his face. The suspect with pepper spray was wearing a black and tan jacket, black pants and had a black bandana covering his face. “At this time, there is no evidence linking this robbery to any of the other robberies that have occurred over the past month,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. Police continue to report numerous robberies around Kamloops in the first few months of 2019. Five downtown businesses have been robbed in six separate incidents, most involving a weapon being produced by a masked man. The 7-Eleven store on Summit Drive has been robbed three times since January. No one has been reportedly injured during these robberies. Police have made just one arrest to date — a 16-year-old male from Kamloops who police believe robbed the 7-Eleven on March 7. The teenager isn’t wanted for any of the other robberies. Last week, police executed a search warrant at a home near Chase in connection with an ongoing investigation of one of those downtown robberies, the March 9 holdup of an illegal cannabis shop on Victoria Street, but have not said whether any arrests have been made. Investigations into the other robberies remain ongoing. Police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the two men who robbed the Esso gas station.

Just days after the warning, on Wednesday, Silver Star Resort was closed after an avalanche occurred at about noon on a double black diamond run on Putnam Creek. The resort said warming temperatures played a role in the avalanche, which led to one person being taken to hospital with undetermined injuries. The avalanche warning is widespread and applies to all the forecast regions in Western Happy Family Day Canada.

Council to hear public feedback on secondary suites JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

City council will convene next month at a committee of the whole meeting on the matter of reviewing secondary suites. City staff have been collecting public feedback to potentially allow secondary suites in more urban residential areas of the city to combat housing prices and low vacancy rates and promote sensitive infill. The idea was brought forward last year by Coun. Kathy Sinclair, who requested city staff explore

the idea and bring back a report to council. On April 2, council will hear public feedback on the matter and provide input before a recommendation on zoning regulation updates could come down the pipe in May. “We’ll be going to council with a summary of what we heard,” City of Kamloops sustainability manager Jason Locke said. “This is what we heard from the engagement sessions and then presenting, these are the options based on our technical analysis and what we’ve heard.” The city recently held an open

More city hall stories at kamloopsthisweek.com house and also conducted an online survey. Locke said people like the idea of residential suites as a mortgage helper, to improve vacancy, allow elderly relatives or parents to live in a home and to combat rising housing costs. The top concern remains parking. Locke, however, said the city would continue to regulate by

requiring one unstacked parking stall in addition to the unstacked parking required by primary residents of a home. Safety is also a concern. Kamloops is home to an untold number of illegal suites. Locke called safety “priority number one. The city would continue to encourage, but not enforce, suites to be legalized and built to code to ensure health and safety issues. As of now, secondary suites are zoned for some areas of the city, primarily in North Kamloops.

Garden suites and carriage suites are typically the result of rezoning. The city is proposing to allow secondary suites and garden suites in single-family dwellings in all urban neighbourhoods, which would impact about 93 per cent of the population from Aberdeen to Juniper to Westsyde. Carriage suites would remain status quo to protect neighbourhood character and privacy. Suites would still be regulated via building and development permits, but land use would be permitted, eliminating the barrier of a public hearing.

Having a field day in spring The rugby field at Exhibition Park will be the first sports field to open this spring. The downtown field will open on March 23, with tennis and pickleball courts and slo-pitch, baseball and soccer fields to follow suit. Sports fields will open as follows: • Rugby pitch at Exhibition Park: March 23; • Tennis and pickleball courts at Riverside and Exhibition park: March 25; • Tennis and pickleball courts in

other areas of the city: by April 1; • Minor baseball fields: April 1; • Slo-pitch, soccer and SD73 fields: April 13. Additionally, outdoor park and facility washrooms will be open by April 1. Though trails are open, the city is asking people to avoid muddy trails until they dry up in order to prevent erosion. The same goes for damp fields. The public is asked to stay off until opening dates in order to prevent damaging the turf.

Dream Home An annual mortgage review can save you money Happy Spring! Now’s the perfect time to consider scheduling your annual mortgage checkup. It’s important to review your options every year to ensure you’re maximizing your savings. Spring’s a popular time for a refresh and it’s also the most common time of year to buy or sell property. There’s no charge or obligation when requesting a review with a mortgage broker, so it’s definitely worthwhile to see if any changes in your financial situation or a shift in your goals over the past year or so means you’re no longer in a mortgage that best fits your needs.

• Overall debt levels – Especially unsecured debt such as credit cards, lines of credit and vehicle loans. Why pay more interest when you may be able to start fresh through a mortgage refinance at a much lower interest rate than you’re paying on your debt right now? • Current considerations – Are you thinking of moving or buying a second property for vacation or rental purposes? Let’s see if you can make this a reality by reviewing your current mortgage, finances and equity.

Or maybe you want to see how much equity you’ve built up because you’re considering making a large purchase or consolidating debt?

• Future plans – Does it make sense to use the equity in your home to pay for your children’s upcoming education, renovations and so on?

Annual reviews typically address these three main areas during mortgage checkups:

Revisiting these three considerations every year can make a big difference to your bottom line.

Real threat prompts tsunami updates Port Alberni was struck by tsunami following 1964 temblor off Alaskan coast CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — Researchers say a tsunami alert in British Columbia that rang out in the dead of night 14 months ago serves as a preparation blueprint for coastal communities that face the ever-present threat of tidal waves. Ryan Reynolds, a post doctoral risk modelling expert at the University of British Columbia, said the tsunami threat in Port Alberni saw more than 90 per cent of households in warning zones flee for higher ground, but there were glitches

before the alert was lifted at 4:30 a.m. He said in a report released today that some people didn’t understand why community sirens were blaring and others were looking for confirmation of the alert on social media, but the community’s emergency response system did not immediately inform residents of the potential danger. A magnitude 7.9 earthquake off the coast of Alaska prompted the tsunami alert along much of Canada’s West Coast, including Port Alberni, which was hit by a tsunami in March 1964 following a 9.2

earthquake off the coast of Alaska. Reynolds said his research involved interviews with more than 400 local residents and numerous city officials, including an interview with a family that had just moved to the community and were roused by neighbours who urged them to flee. He said the research found more than 60 per cent of residents have updated their tsunami evacuation plans since the alert, and community and regional officials have better co-ordinated social media services and response tactics.

Fresh life for SNC-Lavalin controversy Leaders bicker ALBERTA

Ex-minister Philpott fanned flames on affair by saying ‘there’s much more to the story’ JOAN BRYDEN

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Former cabinet minister Jane Philpott fanned the flames of the SNC-Lavalin fire Thursday as Liberals struggled to douse the controversy and focus Canadians’ attention on their pre-election budget. Philpott gave an interview to Maclean’s magazine in which she said there is “much more to the story’’ of improper pressure allegedly exerted on former attorney general Jody Wilson-Raybould to avert a criminal prosecution of Montreal engineering giant SNCLavalin. The early-morning publication of the interview coincided with a Conservative-orchestrated filibuster, landing like a bombshell in the House of Commons where exhausted MPs were in their 12th hour of non-stop voting, line by

line, on the government’s spending plans. The filibuster, which continued into the afternoon Thursday, was intended to protest Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s refusal to offer a blanket waiver of privilege and confidentiality that WilsonRaybould has claimed is necessary if she is to fully tell her side of the story. In the late afternoon, Conservatives believed they had caught the Liberals shorthanded, with not enough of them ready to vote to pass one item. Since spending votes are confidence measures, the government might have been at risk. Liberals quickly flooded into the chamber, male MPs hastily doing up their neckties for decorum. Assistant deputy speaker Anthony Rota, an Ontario Liberal then in the chair, cited a Commons rule to say that it’s

not the speaker’s duty to police whether members were in their seats at the critical time to be eligible to vote. When the tally came, as Tories heckled, the Liberals got the motion carried. Philpott, who resigned early this month as Treasury Board president, told Maclean’s that she raised concerns with Trudeau, during a Jan. 6 discussion about an imminent cabinet shuffle, that Wilson-Raybould was being moved out of Justice because of her refusal to intervene in the SNC-Lavalin case. “I think Canadians might want to know why I would have raised that with the prime minister a month before the public knew about it. Why would I have felt that there was a reason why Minister Wilson-Raybould should not be shuffled?’’ she said. “My sense is that Canadians would like

to know the whole story.’’ Philpott appears already to be free to talk about that Jan. 6 conversation with Trudeau: The government has waived solicitorclient privilege and cabinet confidentiality for last fall, when Wilson-Raybould alleges she was improperly pressured, until Jan. 14, when she was moved to the Veterans Affairs portfolio. The waiver applies not just to Wilson-Raybould but to “any persons who directly participated in discussions with her’’ relating to the criminal prosecution of SNCLavalin for alleged corrupt practices in Libya. That waiver allowed WilsonRaybould to testify for nearly four hours before the House of Commons justice committee. Trudeau rejected Thursday the opposition parties’ contention, echoed by Philpott, that a broader waiver is required.

with election set for April CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Alberta’s NDP leader and her main conservative rival wasted no time pointing fingers at each other on the first day of the campaign for an April 16 election. Premier Rachel Notley called the vote this week in front of cheering supporters at the National Music Centre in Calgary and made it clear from the get-go that the front-burner issue will be Jason Kenney’s integrity. Kenney has found himself embroiled in allegations his campaign team worked with a fellow “kamikaze candidate” to torpedo the chances of his main rival in his party’s leadership vote. Notley has said Kenney “then lied about it.”

OPINION

Who is the world’s leading demagogue?

ou can keep your Viktor Orban, your

Benjamin Netanyahu, your pathetic Boris Johnson. As for Donald Trump, he’s really an icon of democracy, just slightly shop-soiled. The coveted title of World’s Leading Demagogue has just gone to the Turkish President, Recep Tayyib Erdogan. Erdogan may look like an ageing, disappointed post office clerk, passed over for promotion too many times, but he can take an ignorant remark from halfway around the planet and inflate it into an existential threat to Turkey’s future. He’s desperately trying to rally support for his AK party in local elections due at the end of the month, so what better theme than the threat of an invasion by New Zealand? “Your grandparents came here and they returned in caskets,” he warned the savage New Zealand hordes. “Have no doubt that we will send you back like your grandfathers.”

GWYNNE DYER World

WATCH Erdogan had already warmed the crowd up by showing them footage of the massacre of New Zealand Muslims in their mosques by an Australian, so they cheered that line. “They are testing us from 16,500 kilometres away, from New Zealand, with the messages they are giving from there,” Erdogen said. “This isn’t an individual act, this is organized.” He then showed the crowd extracts from the terrorist’s 74-page manifesto on a giant screen. One of the killer’s many goals, it seems, was to “drive Turkey out of Europe.” (The country’s northwestern corner, including half of Istanbul, is the southern Balkans.)

Erdogan also accuses the West as a whole of “preparing” the killer’s manifesto and “handing it to him.” New Zealand is presumably just the West’s chosen weapon. There are three times as many people in Istanbul alone as there are in New Zealand, so that may sound like an empty threat to you, but bear in mind that Erdogan’s electoral support mostly comes from the less well educated half of the population. He was speaking at a rally commemorating the Ottoman empire’s victory over British and allied troops who landed at Gallipoli, 200 kilometres southwest of Istanbul, in 1915. ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand) troops played a big part in that First World War battle, which is one of the founding myths of modern Turkish nationalism. So Erdogan’s audience would not necessarily have giggled when he defiantly warned the evil New Zealanders: “We have been here for a thousand years and will be here until the apocalypse, God willing. You

will not turn Istanbul into Constantinople.” There he stood, metaphorical sword in hand, turning back the New Zealand neo-Crusaders single-handed, and the world heavyweight title for demagoguery was his. First, a couple of niggling details. Istanbul is Constantinople; the name hasn’t changed. Istanbul is just the Turkish pronunciation of the old Greek popular name for the city, “Stamboul.” (The Turkish language does not like words to start with two consonants.) Second, the Turks have not been there for a thousand years. They conquered the city in 1453, 500-odd years ago. Before that, it was Christian for more than a thousand years. But you don’t want to get caught up in the details when you’re holding a flaming sword. Third, I have never met anybody in Europe who wants it back. It would be as ridiculous as somebody in the Muslim world wanting Granada or Seville back. Oh, wait a minute. I have met Muslims

who want Granada and Seville back. They tend to be of the Islamist persuasion, but there is a quite widespread conviction in the Arab world that the original seventh-century conquests that gave Muslims control of half of the then-Christian world were legitimate, whereas the 12th-century European counteroffensive that tried to take some of them back (the Crusades) was illegitimate aggression. It was really just the ebb and flow of empires, with religion mostly as cover. The Muslims (or at least the Ottoman Turks) were on the offensive again by the 15th century, almost reaching

Vienna by 1688. Then the tide turned again and the British empire was almost at the gates of Istanbul in 1915. Nothing to get excited about — and now it’s over. It really is over. Legally, it has not been permissible to change borders by force since the UN Charter was written in 1945 and, in fact, few have changed. Militarily, modern technologies and methods of political mobilization have made it ruinously expensive to sustain the long-term occupation of people who do not want to be occupied. So I think it will be hard for New Zealand to reconquer Istanbul

even if it wants to. Turkey is safe. But the old tribal buttons are still there to be pushed, and there are plenty of populist demagogues willing to push them. Trump has his border wall (“criminal” Mexicans) and his antiMuslim immigration controls (“terrorist” Muslims). Orban has the Jews (the enemy within Hungary’s border) and Muslim refugees (the enemy without). Narendra Modi, now in election mode, has Muslims both within India’s borders (cow killers) and beyond them (Pakistani nukes and terrorists). And Erdogan just has New Zealanders. Must try harder.

3 Reasons to Take Vitamin C and Lysine Now! W. GIFFORD-JONES, MD

1. Immune Health

This is a no-brainer – Vitamin C supports a healthy immune system which is essential in cold and flu season. Vitamin C and frequent hand-washing are two of the easiest steps to take for staying healthy.

2. Collagen Formation for Heart Health and more…

Vitamin C is required to manufacture healthy collagen, the glue that holds cells together, just like mortar is needed for bricks. Lysine, like steel rods in cement, makes collagen stronger. A lack of vitamin C and lysine results in poor collagen and weak arteries. Coronary arteries are under more pressure than any other artery in the body. Without sufficient vitamin C and lysine the constant pounding causes minute cracks in collagen, contributing to atherosclerosis, blood clots or rupturing of a weakened artery, resulting in a stroke. Collagen keeps gums and cartilage healthy too – reducing tooth loss and painful joints. If that’s not enough, all the beauty experts will also tell you collagen helps keep skin looking youthful.

3. Wound Healing, Cold Sores, Shingles Check out a variety of

Sportball programs To learn more about these programs visit www.Kamloops.ca/PerfectMind

The essential amino acid lysine is probably best known for its use in those with herpes simplex infections. It helps reduce the severity and duration of cold sores, and combined with vitamin C promotes wound healing and helps fight shingles infections.

To maintain optimal health and improve your chances of reaching 90+, I recommend Medi-C Plus® with high dose vitamin C and lysine – just mix with your morning juice. I started taking high dose vitamin C and lysine after my heart attack 20 years ago: I still enjoy travelling, writing my columns and I also rappelled down Toronto City Hall to help raise funds for Make-A-Wish® Canada. I turned 95 this year - not bad!

CRIMES OF THE WEEK SHOTS Stolen Bottle

In the late morning of Thursday, March 14, a bottle of liquor was stolen from a liquor store in Valleyview. The suspect is a female in her 20s. She was wearing a black tuque, blue jeans, a green jacket and slippers/ moccasins. She was carrying a red stripped purse. If you know who she is, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Y is there for health and crucial support

ccording to HealthyFamilies BC, 80 per cent of new mothers experience tearfulness and feelings of distress, called the baby blues. Most of the time, these baby blues are temporary, disappearing after one or two weeks. However, some women will go on to have a more serious condition called postpartum depression or anxiety. I was fortunate to feel pretty amazing during my pregnancies, but after the hormones wore off, I cried often, lacked energy to leave the house, worried excessively, became irritable easily and was angry over trivial matters. I felt embarrassed about it and didn’t get the help I needed after my daughter was born. When I became pregnant with my son, I decided to plan ahead and have some coping methods in place in case postpartum anxiety again reared its ugly head. One of my self-care coping strategies was to exercise. I find the more active I am, the better I feel emotionally. I took fitness classes or went swimming at the Y and was able to leave my son in the care of the qualified play-care staff. It was so convenient and nice knowing he wasn’t far away. It was just what I needed to recharge my body, mind and soul. Although my family has been busier this past year with moving households, we continue to use the Y when we can. My daughter is flying through her swimming lessons and we have borrowed books, scooters and a root viewer plant-growing kit from the toy-lending library at the John Tod Centre Y.

I have met with other parents, sharing interests and concerns in the Nobody’s Perfect Parent Program. The YMCA-YWCA is doing great work, not only by helping me (and our neighbours) to get healthier, but by helping me feel like I have a supportive network on which I can rely. I now want to give back. The Y offers assistance to anyone unable to afford their programs. I want to make sure everyone in our community is able to find health, happiness and a sense of belonging. Come out and support the KTW Press Time team at one of these fundraisers, with money raised going to help the Y help get kids healthy. • On Wednesday, March 27, join our KTW Press Time team for dinner and a silent auction at the Commodore Grand Cafe and Lounge, 369 Victoria St. Tickets are $25, with proceeds going to the Y Strong Kids. Call 778-471-7513 for tickets. • On Saturday, March 30, get your car washed at City Centre Auto Service, 963 Victoria St., and have a hot dog while you wait. The car wash will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., with all proceeds going to the Y Strong Kids. If you can’t make it to one of these events, head to the link and donate online at tinyurl.com/yxcgklgs. — Erin Johnson penned this sixth instalment for Press Time. Fellow members are chronicling their experiences in the Y Strong Kids Campaign in editions of KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

On the evening of Saturday, March 16, while being detained for shoplifting from the downtown Save-On-Foods store, a suspect pulled out a collapsible baton, then ran away on foot, southbound through nearby alleys. The suspect is a white man who stands about 5-foot-9. He was wearing a black jacket, dark pants and a black backpack. If you can identify him, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Help put a cork in this booze bottle bandit

On the evening of Friday, Feb. 22, a customer was picking up a pizza order at a restaurant in Westsyde. While waiting, the customer sat in the licensed area of the restaurant and had a beverage. Video surveillance shows the suspect pick up a bottle of liquor and conceal it in his jacket. The restaurant manager did not notice the theft until several days later, then reviewed the surveillance video that showed the suspect stealing the bottle. The thief is a white man in his 50s or 60s. He has short, white/ grey hair and is clean-shaven. He was wearing blue jeans and a blue puffy winter jacket with a hood. If you know this man’s name, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Wanted For: Obstruct Peace Officer. Fraudulently Personate. Carry Concealed Weapon. Possess Controlled Substances.

“

Day by day, day by day, O dear Lord, three things I pray: to see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, follow thee more nearly, day by day.” I often listen to CBC’s Saturday morning classical music program This Is My Music. One year, during Lent, I turned on the radio and heard a pause before someone began to speak. Guy Few, a Canadian trumpeter who was hosting that week, began to speak of the time in his life when he was recovering from brain surgery and had lost fine motor skills and his language — everything on which his life was based. He spoke of the music of Johann Christian Bach being his companion in that time of healing because of its structure and architecture. Those were the words he used. He described how Glenn Gould’s 1955 recording of Bach’s Goldberg Variations in particular was his companion through many long days of rehabilitative exercises. It allowed him to focus on the architecture and structure of the piece as it supported his healing process. Let’s think, then, about the structures of faith that support us in our life journey toward wholeness. One example would be the seasons of the church year: Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, Lent and Pentecost. We are now in the season of Lent. Our journey through Lent is from the ashes of Ash Wednesday, to the remembering of Jesus’ passion and death on the cross on Good Friday, to the new fire of resurrection at Easter. This movement is part of the church’s architecture that supports us. One of the most dramatic examples of structure that supports us is Jesus’ prayer on the cross. “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me …” are

BARBARA LIOTSCOS

You Gotta Have

FAITH

the opening words of Psalm 22, a psalm that begins with the sufferer in dire straits, reaching out to God for deliverance and discovering that in the very remembering of God, and turning to God, is found a sustaining power. The psalm’s movement from lament to praise would have strengthened Jesus in his suffering and enabled him to lean hard into God as he faced his death. Knowing by heart passages of scripture, prayers and songs gives each of us an internal source of strength to draw upon. The words of faith, hope and love become part of our architecture, our identity, part of who we are. For example, in the gospel account of Jesus’ ordeal in the desert, which we heard on the first Sunday in Lent, it is words of scripture that shape his faithful response to the temptations he faces. Words of scripture, when we speak them, are sacramental, outward audible signs of an inward spiritual grace. They foster an orientation of the heart. Jesus trusted completely in God and he relied wholly on God’s guidance, rather than on any power of manipulation or control that he might have been able to exert. Another structure that shapes us in our life is the liturgy of the church, which has supported people throughout history — people like Bishop Richard of Chichester, who

gave us the Day by Day prayer in the 13th century. The eucharist is the pattern that shapes us and reminds us who we are, and whose we are, and how we are to act in this world, day by day. When we find ourselves separating from others — and judging them — we can catch ourselves and remember we are their servants and we are all beloved of God. When we feel entitled to something, we can pause and remember we are to share what we have. When we are rushing, speeding through our day and impatient with ourselves or others, we can stop and breathe and remember that God provides enough time for us to do what needs to be done in our life. When our thoughts are spinning downward, we can turn our mind toward what gives us joy in our life and give thanks. Lent is a time for us to intentionally focus on the patterns and stories of our faith tradition that shape our lives and uphold us in making faithful decisions. “Day by day, day by day, O dear Lord three things I pray. To see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, follow thee more nearly, day by day. Amen.”

Gritty blues-rock album produced on ‘dad time’ Vancouver’s Rich Hope will play a show at The Blue Grotto in April SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

ich Hope has reached the point in his career — or really, his life — where music is something he does whenever he can. Because he’s a business owner, father and husband, the days of disappearing off the face of the earth and dedicating two straight weeks to recording an album are over with. Instead, Hope created his latest album on what he jokingly called “dad time.” “My wife would lose her mind if I did that — and I wouldn’t want to work under that kind of pressure, either,” he told KTW. I’m All Yours is filled with 10 rock, blues, soul and R&B tracks that are sometimes raucous and always gritty. The album took him three years to make and comes nearly 10 years after his last full-length release, Rich Hope Is Gonna Whip It On Ya. It was produced by Felix Fung, a Vancouver-based producer at Little Red Sounds who has also had a hand in the work of a few Kamloops acts, including Elsewhere, Echo Beach, At Mission Dolores and Mother Sun. “Sometimes when you’re self-

producing, your filter isn’t quite as strong,” Hope said. Prior to its appearance on this album, the band’s version of the Lightnin’ Hopkins-era blues track Runnin’ Shoes was something they used to “bludgeon” on stage, according to Hope. “It came out very raw,” he said. But for the album version, Fung got Hope and his band to step back and approach the song with more discipline and what ended up being recorded was something different and more exciting. “All of a sudden you sound a little bit new, even to yourself,” he said. Hope, who turns 50 this year, also said the more relaxed work schedule meant that his knowledge of when to leave wellenough alone helped out. “We definitely picked things apart when we thought it wasn’t working, but if it was working we didn’t question it,” he said. When he wasn’t recording he was either with his family, out snowboarding, skateboarding or playing hockey, or at Belmont Barbers, the shop he owns and works at on East Broadway in Vancouver. He’s worked there as a barber

for 10 years and owned the shop for two years. The creative aspect of the job keeps him interested and enjoying his work and when he’s cutting hair he often has music on his mind. “It’s nice to be thinking of music but also be away from it, too,” he said.

Despite the callings of his fatherly duties and his barbershop, Hope said he’ll keep playing for as long as he feels like it. “I always found it funny that people make fun of the Rolling Stones because they keep touring,” Hope said. “But they’re just musicians.

Gender-bending contestants will compete in upcoming ASK Wellness fundraiser Mx. Judged takes place May 11 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Performance blends classical and folk KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The next presentation from the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra is Folk Songs and Brahms. John Kastelic and The Black Dog String Quartet will deliver a performance that will erase the line between classical and folk music. Kastelic is a sought-after violist, violinist and teacher who is at home in pop and classical music alike. Past notable performances include sharing the stage with

Mariah Carey and Michael Bublé. He is also a regular member of the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and a member of two bands, The Living and Strength of Materials. He’s also half of the duo No Mothers. The Black Dog String Quartet is made up of young Vancouver musicians. The group has appeared on recordings by groups like 54-40, Marianas Trench, Bleeding Through and others. Individual members of the group have

shared the stage with acts like Rod Stewart, Kanye West, Sting, The Trans-Siberian Orchestra and Video Games Live. The event is the final performance of the season in the Chamber Music at The Rex series and will take place on Saturday at 7:30 p.m. at The Rex, located at 417 Seymour St. Tickets are $25, available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

ASK Wellness Society is set to hold its gender-bending pageant fundraiser for a third year. The event previously known as Mz. Judged will now be known as Mx. Judged as it expands to include new contestants, who will march across the stage and showcase their various creative abilities. ASK Wellness Society executive director Bob Hughes called the event an evening that will challenge gender stereotypes and misconceptions. “ASK Wellness Society believes in the importance and value of an inclusive, compassionate, and tolerant community and all our programs and services strive to bring people together through finding our common purpose and humanity,” he said in a news release.

The event is being presented in collaboration with Kamloops Pride and will serve as a fundraiser for the creation of safe suites for women and clients in crisis — those who would otherwise be left out on the streets without food, health care or employment. Contestants include the United Way’s Danalee Baker, Mastermind Studios’ Peter Cameron-Inglis, Nick Curnow, Laura Hsu, Michael McDonald, Adrienne Romeo, Dakota Taylor and KTW staffers Tara Holmes and Max Patel. The show will take place Saturday, May 11, at The Rex, 417 Seymour St. General admission tickets are $50 each and include a $25 tax receipt. Cabaret table floor tickets are $150 with a $100 tax receipt and other goodies. Tickets are available online at eventbrite.ca.

Rick and Morty traverse the editions of Dungeons and Dragons

nly the most epic tale can come from the mashing-up of interdimensional adventurers Rick and Morty and the fantasy world of Dungeons and Dragons. The story starts off with young Morty observing the rising popularity of Dungeons and Dragons games being played by other kids in his school. After doing a bit of online research in the school library, Morty heads to his local game store Hobby Haul, similar to our own High Octane Comics. Under the guise of gift shopping for a friend, Morty meets a cute gamer girl named Annika who invites him out to a Dungeons and Dragons game. But the boy panics, having only three days to make sense of these books he’s just purchased. So he turns to his grandpa Rick for help. It turns out that Rick is an oldschool gamer and has been playing Dungeons and Dragons since the early ‘80s. Rick wran-

gles together his old gaming buddies and they take Morty on an adventure in a classic first edition setting. After an extensive gaming session getting several of his characters killed, Morty isn’t having the good time he was hoping for. Resolving to just learn online watching videos, Rick promises to make it up to Morty by teaching him second edition

Dungeons and Dragons. Rick uses his portal gun to sneak Morty in to an advanced virtual reality arcade in an alien dimension. After modifying the machines with some of his own equipment, Rick takes Morty to the world of Greyhawk. There, Morty takes on the role of a holy knight and has a much better time until everything goes horribly awry when they’re discovered by staff at the arcade. Forcibly dumped back into the kitchen in their own dimension, Rick explains what happened to his daughter Beth, Morty’s mom, and granddaughter Summer. Rick convinces the three of them to join him again, this time using a hologram deck in a pocket dimension loaded with safety protocols set up with third edition Dungeons and Dragons rules. Rick always plays as a mighty wizard, Beth takes on the role of a barbarian warrior, Summer plays as a rogue and Morty tries

his hand as a cleric healer this time. The safety protocols make everything too easy and Rick keeps cheating, leading to yet another lackluster adventure but the family is able to make the best of it. While the party is enjoying some leisure time in game, Morty’s estranged father Jerry stops by the house and inadvertently unplugs the safety protocol device, destroying the hologram deck and transporting the adventurers back to reality. It turns out Jerry knows a thing or two about Dungeons and Dragons as well and Morty comes up with the idea that if there are infinite dimensions, there must be one that matches the realm of Dungeons and Dragons. There is — and it’s based on the current fifth edition of the game rules. Upon reaching the dimension, Rick tries attacking the local dun-

geon master but is stripped of all of his own powers and technologies — no more cheating for Rick. Our intrepid heroes all get to take on new roles and embark on their most important mission yet, to save the realm. Rick and Morty vs. Dungeons and Dragons trade paperback is published by IDW. Due to similar language used in the animated cartoon that airs on Adult Swim, it’s rated for teen and up. The book is co-written by Canadian comic book writer Jim Zub, who has written four other Dungeons and Dragons comic book series for IDW and Patrick Rothfuss, a New York Times bestselling fantasy author. Art is done by Troy Little, who accurately captures the look and feel of a Rick and Morty episode. This book is a lot of fun and a great read. Randy Wagner is assistant manager of High Octane Comics.

Limit your submission to 120 words. Perhaps your tale will be added! Email to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com. Bobby always wanted to go to space. Chris Hadfield was his hero and Bobby, now in Grade 4, could not wait until he was old enough to become an astronaut. One day in class, while staring out the window at Mount Paul, Bobby saw something that made his heart leap. “Maybe,” he thought to himself, “I won’t have to wait until I am older to visit space!” (The next part was written by Danica Cain.) “A rocket ship!” Bobby cried in delight. Indeed, a space shuttle had landed on the back field of Mount Paul School. The grass was scorched. Thank goodness it was winter or the entire building would be on fire. Then the high side door folded down and two astronauts walked down the ramp. Bobby sprang from his seat and bounded to the door. He raced over to the astronauts and skidded to a stop at their feet. “Hello!” Bobby cried. “Can I come to space with you?” he asked. “Can you fix a rocket ship?” one of the astronauts asked. “I think so . . .” Bobby said. He walked over and gasped. On the bottom of the rocket was a blue-skinned, skinny creature with huge eyes, staring up at him. “Can you help me?” the creature hissed.

(The next part was written by Hailey Traynor, a kindergarten student.) All of a sudden, two ears popped out of Bobby’s head and he turned green, just like the alien. They became friends. The alien needed help finding his spaceship because he was on another alien’s spaceship. While they were holding hands, they began to float up to the universe. (The next part was written by siblings Ava and Juliet Lavigne. Ava is in Grade 1 and Juliet is in Grade 4.) Wow!” said Bobby. “What’s happening?” The blue alien answered without speaking: “We are ascending to the mother ship to grab some more supplies. It’s hovering just above the clouds.”

Bobby was amazed he could hear his new friend’s thoughts. He thought that was so fun! Then they began to do somersaults and cartwheels in the air. They rose above the clouds and there, lo and behold, was a beautiful spacecraft the size of Sandman Centre. (The next part was written by Emma Garossino, who is in Grade 3.) Once they were on the ship, Bobby and the alien — whose name was Moon — heard some scuffling sounds. “What’s that,” Bobby asked. “Probably just Sparkles, my dog,” Moon the alien replied. Right then, a creature with four long ears and seven legs came out, covered in sparkles. “Oh!” said Bobby. Then everything suddenly went pitch dark.

Egypt speaks from amongst its ancient ruins RAY CHATELIN

SPECIAL TO KTW

travelwriterstales.com

gypt not only capitalizes on its culture and history, it revels in it. The old and the new live side by side here, a physical and spiritual culture of pharaohs and kings, and a contemporary population whose past is tightly linked to its economic future. For in this arid country of blowing sand and vast cities, you can’t escape the past. It clings to you at every corner of its ancient temples, stares at you from every doorway of its tombs and monuments. It speaks to you from obelisks, pyramids, from along the Nile River and from rolling desert hills that conceal their timeless mysteries. No place reflects this more than the majestic ruins of Karnak on the shores of the Nile in the modern city of Luxor, once known as Thebes. It’s here, more than any other place in Egypt that I sense the past and where the ghosts that provide the modern world with the material of movies, novels and television documentaries are most apparent. It’s here that Ramses II, Tutankhamen, Queen Hatshepsut and the countless men and women of power and influence walked the same stones on which my own feet now step. To the ancient Egyptians, Karnak was known as The Temple of Amun. It is the largest religious structure in the world, measuring 1.5 kilometres by 800 metres, taking more than 1,300 years to complete. Only Angkor Wat in Cambodia comes close to matching its size and grandeur. High above me, at noted inter-

vals along my walk are the still brightly painted symbols and figures on the underside of many arches. I try to imagine the artists who painted them. The Great Hypostyle Hall, along the main entranceway, covers an area large enough to accommodate the whole of Paris’ Notre Dame Cathedral. The structure has 134 columns, the largest 12 are 21 metres high, the other 122 columns measuring 12 metres in height. It’s no wonder I feel insignificant and contemplate what architects could design these massive pillars that make Roman and Greek architecture seem diminutive by comparison. Thebes was once capitol of ancient Egypt and home to some

of the greatest archeological sites of the ancient world — built to honour the living, the dead and the divine. I’m certain that Pharaohs once stood and sat where I would linger at a nearby restaurant along the Nile, sipping Egyptian beer and watching traditional wooden sail boats, called felucca, slip by. The tomb of Ramses II lies across that river; and Queen Hatshepsut — one of the most prolific builders in ancient Egypt — must have sailed past the shores, which my hotel room overlooks. Walking along pathways of Karnak and nearby Luxor Temple, I try to imagine great Pharaohs who constructed these enormous structures that celebrated their own mortal existences in the hope they could escape death.

I stood before great pyramids that lay on the edge of Cairo and climbed down deep into several of the 62 tombs, including that of Tutankhamen, which line the Valley of the Kings not far from Karnak. I realized my time affords merely a casual glimpse into a complex land that has seen many ruling dynasties. Yet, those transitional empires are only blips in the Egyptian saga — just as the current Egyptian rulers will be a mere blink in the eye of Egyptian history. The most convenient way to experience these great sites is through licensed tour groups out of Cairo or Alexandria. They can easily be pre-booked while in Canada and can include a side trip, like a cruise down the

Nile River. Yet, the great Pyramids of Giza, the Sphinx, the great temples of Luxor and Karnak and the Valley of the Kings are more than tourist destinations or names found in a travel brochure. They echo centuries of art, literature, great architecture and popular culture of the time. Egypt is a destination that will remain forever locked into the mind of anyone who visits. Its ancient icons will forever influence how this part of the world is seen — forever embroiled in political and social change — much as it was in early Thebes.

WEEK 3

EMMA PAPPALARDO Sound engineer RunClub+

JAIME AULT Financial planner, TD Wealth 5K Sweet

MAX PATEL KTW digital sales associate 5K Bold

Each week as I run and train, I notice little things about how my body is changing — energy levels, hunger and quality of sleep. But I also notice how my clothes and shoes fit. Last week, my trusty shoes — the ones I thought I had finally broken in — once again gave me terrible blisters on my heels that bled. It took me a while to realize my feet were shrinking due to my weight loss and that created space and slip on my heels. Now, running isn’t an expensive sport compared to most (a pair of good shoes and off you go), but in my situation, every dollar counts. I spent time with Jo Berry on Monday, talking about shoes and how important they are for safe, strong, running. So many potential injuries and unnecessary strain can be caused from something as simple as shoes. With that in mind, I went to Runners Sole and spoke with Wayne. Let me tell you, this man is a fountain of knowledge. We measured my feet (my left foot is bigger) and tried on all kinds of shoes. I eventually decided on a pair that felt the best and ran in them that night. What difference! I can’t stress enough how important the right shoes are and how much easier your run can become. I can’t wait for my next run with these babies.

Spring has sprung! After last week’s cold entry into RunClub training, Tuesday night’s beautiful Dufferin sunset was extremely welcome. We all met at Runners Sole, where upon entering, any residual nerves I had disappeared with the welcoming crowd within. Last week’s gentle introduction had me wondering if I may want to move up a level this week to the Bold group, but with all the hills in the area, I thought staying put this time was a good plan. That’s one of the beautiful things about RunClub — if you’re feeling (in the words of Jo) “like a rock star,” you can jump up a group; if you’re feeling “like a rock,” you can jump back down. There really is no pressure or judgment. This week’s run was hard as hills are not for the faint of heart, but with the support of the group, with the energy of Jo (seriously, she needs to bottle that stuff) and with the fresh air and gorgeous views, I made it. The thing about RunClub is there’s “run,” but there’s even more “club.” At the end of the day, the people and the energy of the club have led me to lose my fear of running. The club has me pushing myself a little more each time, so maybe next week you’ll be hearing about the 5K Bold group run — unless I’m feeling more rock than rock star.

After my first training session last week, I experienced joy and relaxation. This wasn’t new to me, but it had been a long time since I felt that way as I was recovering from a knee injury. I like to write down my thoughts, which are personal to me. But I want to share this thought as Jo Berry is the reason behind it: “It doesn’t matter how much gas a lighter has, because if there is no spark to light the fire, the lighter is of no use.” I feel the same, as Jo was the spark that ignited the fire within me to run again. That’s when I decided to start running more often. In the past week, I ran every second day after getting home from work in the evening. It was an amazing feeling to experience joy and relaxation after completing my run following a busy and hectic day on the job. This past Tuesday, when I showed up for my second training session at Runners Sole, I was excited to test myself with the group and decide if I was ready to advance from 5K Bold to 10K Sweet. After completing my training session, I felt confident about moving into the 10K Sweet group. I will know for sure next week as I train with the 10K Sweet runners, which I have never done before. Stay tuned ...

MOVEMENT IS CHANGE with Jo Berry, RunClub and Boogie the Bridge founder

Much M-O-R-E than running Week 2 of Boogie training was powerful. Heartfelt stories and accomplishments were shared. Two women, both 100 pounds lighter, told of their transformational change (inner and outer). They shared their triumphs and the highs and lows of getting to their goals. Both of these amazing souls were previously sedentary and now, three years later, have accomplished their impossible. One lady completed the Honolulu Marathon in January (power-walking) and can power-walk a half-marathon in just under three hours. She does not run and proves that walking can be just as transformational as running. The other lady runs three times per week consistently, has accomplished many 5K and 10K events, has a circle of positive friends and a new life.

Rested Royals brace for playoff-primed Blazers MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ermaine Loewen’s WHL career would have been over last Saturday if not for an odds-defying run to the post-season that ended in a momentous victory. He is still playing major-junior hockey and the Blazers remain alive because they poured all they had into every shift for two weeks straight and bested the Kelowna Rockets in a rare post-season playin game on Tuesday at Sandman Centre. The concern now is how much they have left to give against the Victoria Royals for a Round 1 playoff series that begins on Friday at Save-On-Foods Memorial Arena. “We are going to go in and continue to play like it’s do or die,” said Loewen, the Blazers’ 21-year-old captain. “The first game is going to be huge. It’s going to be in their barn and we’re going to have to find a way to have a lot of heart and play with will.” Kamloops posted a 4-5 record against Victoria this season, but one of those wins came against a notably undermanned Royals team on March 13, when the Blazers rolled to an 8-0 victory. The visitors were injury-plagued and able to rest players as they had already clinched second place in the B.C. Division. Injuries may be key to the outcome of the playoff series, particularly if Victoria is without two of its top scorers, Kaid Oliver and Kody McDonald. Oliver, a 19-year-old forward from White Rock who led the Royals in scoring with 49 points, was listed as out indefinitely with an upper-body injury in the most recent WHL weekly report, issued on March 12. McDonald, a 20-year-old forward from Lethbridge who tied for third in team scoring with 42 points, was listed as out week-to-

Ferguson was cleared for action this week, positive news for the team, but information that leaves head coach Serge Lajoie with a decision to make. Dylan Garand, a 16-year-old goaltender from Victoria, replaced Ferguson in the Blazers’ crease when the starting netminder from Lantzville was injured during a 5-0 loss to the Vancouver Giants at Sandman Centre on March 6. The backup has been lights out, with a record of 6-0-1-0 and .943 save percentage in seven starts since Ferguson was hurt. His inclusion coincides with the beginning of the team’s incredible run to the playoffs. Going with the hot hand would

mean benching an overage Vegas Golden Knights signee who has played 155 games for Kamloops — none of them in the post-season. “In terms of the decision, it is and always has been [tough] because we have two capable goaltenders,” Lajoie told reporters on Tuesday. “I want to give full credit to Dylan Garand. He’s been absolutely phenomenal. We’ll leave it at that.” Game 2 will be played on Saturday in Victoria before the series shifts to Kamloops for Games 3 and 4 on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively. Home-ice advantage proved valuable in the regular season, with Kamloops posting an 0-4

record in Victoria and a 4-1 mark at Sandman Centre, which was at capacity for the play-in game triumph and boasted a raucous atmosphere. The Tuesday tilt next week will mark the first post-season contest in the Tournament Capital since the Rockets doubled the Blazers 4-2 in Game 6 of a Western Conference quarter-final series on April 2, 2017. “It does feel like we’ve been in the playoffs for a month now, but we’re only getting started,” said Blazers’ 19-year-old forward Kobe Mohr, who scored the gamewinning goal against Kelowna on Tuesday.

Blazers ride roar of redemption into post-season

o that’s what it feels like. That’s how fans feel when 6,000 strong vicariously harpoon the Ogogopo, leaving its innards to freeze on the Kamloops Blazers’ B at centre ice. They haven’t felt anything like that in a long time — a 5-1 victory over the institution inside a sold-out barn. What they have felt, at least a few of them, is disillusionment with the system, which they perceive to be the WHL and the Kelowna Rockets, the devious alliance that rules them all. Some Kamloops fans have crazy theories, like the one in which their team’s 2020 Memorial Cup bid was pointless because the Rockets were in the mix. With Bruce Hamilton involved, the Blazers were drawing dead, some of these

fans will tell you. For those conspiracy theorists, Tuesday night at Sandman Centre must have felt therapeutic. They may have been feeling something like another group of jilted Blazers’ backers, those lunatics who keep talking about Game 6 of a first-round playoff series between the B.C. Division rivals, a tilt held in Kamloops on April 2, 2017. WHL commissioner Ron Robison’s role in a crucial goal review that

night was a little fishy, according to them. Somewhere Connor Ingram is smiling, harking back to the days after that game, when a 15-second Rockets-related diatribe was worth $500 of Tom Gaglardi’s money. That must have felt good. What didn’t feel good for Blazers’ fans — even the sane ones, those who don’t quite believe Robison and Rockets’ owner Hamilton are lightsaber-holding members of an Evil WHL Empire — was watching Tomas Soustal celebrate a Game 7 OT winner on April 4, 2016. Pictures of the swan dive may even be tucked away in their memories, occasionally rearing to show flashes of Soustal’s majestic breaststroke performance that followed. He damn near swam from blueline to blueline that night

at Prospera Place. Maybe they were watching the disheartening defeat on a webcast. Perhaps they were listening on the radio. Some were refreshing phones at Sandman Centre, where Canada was busy losing in overtime to the U.S. in the World Women’s Hockey Championship gold-medal game. No matter where they were, they shared one thing in common — they weren’t feeling good. Losing eight straight to their rivals from the Little Apple last season wasn’t exactly cause for a night out at the Grotto, either. And those same fans might not have been feeling great on Tuesday night, when Kamloops and Kelowna were tied at 1-1 heading into the third period of a rare WHL playin game, knowing the loser would be done for the season while the winner advanced to Round 1 of the postseason. They knew how it was supposed to end,

with Hamilton, who was in the building for the do-or-die contest, tipping back a glass of white at Moxie’s across the street after the game, thinking about how victory tastes even sweeter when drinking Gaglardi’s wine. That buzz in the building was turning into nervous energy. Pits were growing in stomachs. Tickers were tested. The Blazers were not going to pick up 11 of 12 points to finish the regular season and beat the Rockets three times in less than two weeks to complete the most improbable of runs to the postseason. No way. Not possible. So how did they feel when their boys scored four straight thirdperiod goals to slay the beast by four goals? Lake monster guts were everywhere. Roars like that — explosions that nearly sent the Sandman Centre roof to Vavenby — have been rarer than Ogopogo sightings in recent years.

Pandemonium arrived at Sandman Centre on Tuesday as the Kamloops Blazers defeated the Kelowna Rockets 5-1 in a rare WHL play-in game. The win sent the Blazers to the playoffs and got the Rockets early tee times in the Little Apple. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Now these fans, both moon-landing deniers and the reasonable, know what it can sound like when everyone actually turns up. But how did it feel to exact a measure of revenge, to know their team will be on Vancouver Island this weekend for post-season games against the Victoria Royals while the Rockets are calling around to see which Kelowna tracks are issuing tee times? Kamloops’ 21-year-

old captain Jermaine Loewen has been around for a few years. He was asked how it felt to have this win come against Kelowna, queried about the Memorial Cup bid defeat and some of those bounces and calls that often seem to go the Rockets’ way. It’s reasonable to suggest he feels similar to most Blazers’ fans. “It feels fricking amazing,” Loewen said. sports@kamloops thisweek.com

Outhouse has sewered Blazers From A39

The Royals are led from the back by outstanding 21-year-old goaltender Griffen Outhouse, who is 5-0 with a .936 save percentage against the Blazers this season. “I think we are going to be sharp because we are so well rested,” Outhouse told the Victoria Times Colonist earlier this week. “We hope that’s an advantage in our favour and gives us more energy.” Among Victoria’s top players are defenceman Scott Walford, a 20-year-old Montreal Canadiens draft pick who is second in Royals’ scoring with 47 points, including nine goals. Igor Martynov, a 20-year-old forward from Belarus, D-Jay Jerome, a 19-year-

old forward from Lethbridge, Brandon Cutler, a 19-year-old forward from Spruce Grove, Alta., and Phillip Schultz, an 18-year-old forward from Denmark, help round out a Victoria attack that scores by committee. “Their defence is tough to play against,” Lajoie said. Walford, Mitchell Prowse, 18, and Ralph Jarratt, 21, each stand 6-foot-2 and help anchor a blueline that also includes 6-foot-3 Jameson Murray, 20. Kamloops and Victoria have met twice in the post-season, both times in Round 1. The Blazers won the series 4-0 in 2012 before losing to the Portland Winterhawks in the Western Conference semifinal. Kamloops earned a 4-2 series vic-

tory in 2013 and swept Kelowna in Round 2 to reach the conference final, but once again fell short against Portland. The Blazers have not been to the second round of the playoffs since 2013. They may not be favoured to reach Round 2 this year, but they know a thing or two about defying odds. “We found a way,” Loewen said. “We’re in the playoffs now. It’s amazing. We shouldn’t be in this position, but with the work ethic and the belief, we should be here. “The momentum is big for us. Victoria is resting up. We don’t get as much rest, but we’re going to go in there and do what we can to make sure we give them everything we’ve got in that series.”

Deane John William Wright It is with saddened hearts that the loved ones of Deane John William Wright announce his passing on Friday, March 15, 2019 on his 75th birthday. He has joined his parents Lorraine and Douglas.

Fred Fischer 1934 - 2014

Gone are the days we used to share But in our hearts you’re always there Never more than a thought away Loved and remembered every day Love always, Barb and family

Deane leaves behind his loving wife Patricia, daughter Laura (Jim), sons Troy (Loretta), and Patrick, grandchildren Spencer, Brock, Brianna (Randy), Leslie (Juan), Tyson, Rafael and Shirlita. He will be dearly missed by his brother-in-law Burt (Brenda) and sisters-in-law Joy and Dorothy, nieces and nephews Deana (Lyle), Crystal, Wanda (Rene), Garry (Kim) and Dustin (Lauren), many great nieces and nephews. He will be forever remembered by numerous extended family and dear friends. Deane worked for almost three decades for the City of Kamloops, of which he was quite proud. We’ll miss you, “Garbage man from hell!” He had many interests including antiques and history, beautiful fast cars and gardening. He loved getting his hands dirty and creating something wonderful. But his greatest passion was his family. Whether it was large gatherings or intimate one-to-one conversations, he cherished every moment. He loved having the kids running around, teaching something new and teasing anyone who would listen. We will always remember his booming voice, “My way is the right way!” big bear hugs, grumpy, gruff and gentle heart. A family gathering will be held at a later date.

OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana

Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Walter George Box

Thank You

January 16, 1949 – March 10, 2019

Peter McVey March 21, 1939 - March 3, 2019 It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Peter passed away just weeks before his 80th Birthday. Peter was diagnosed with an aggressive form of thyroid cancer in November and received radiation treatments in December to try and slow down its progression, but to no avail. Peter told us ‘Not to cry’, that he had a good life and that he had experienced more things than most people he knew. Peter was born in Croydon, London, UK and it was his love of fly fishing that brought him to Canada in 1963 and his chef skills that kept him employed so he could do all that he wanted to do!

Roy Ware

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our husband, father, grandpa, and friend Walter Box. Walter was born in Quesnel, raised in 100 Mile House at ‘The Lodge’, and eventually moved to Williams Lake in 1977 to continue his working career with Weldwood. His life touched many individuals and families in many different circles. Some of these include Fire Departments in both 100 Mile House and Williams Lake, various snowmobile clubs, many baseball teams, men’s hockey & basketball leagues, the logging & plywood industries, many fishing buddies, and extended families from 100 Mile House and the community of Miocene. He did not know the meaning of doing things half-heartedly or slowly. Walter is survived by his wife Sue, daughter Robin Antoniuk (Dave), granddaughter Kendra; step children Michael Kjelsrud (Leah), Kate Berkan (Dale) and grandchildren Esmée, Emmett and Escher. A celebration of his life is planned for June 8th 2019 at the Lazy ‘S’ Ranch on the Horsefly Road in Miocene. Details to follow as arrangements are made. ‘The Good Doctor’ wanted to be sure that all family & friends would be able to come together for his send off! Many thanks from the family to all of Walter’s care givers from the past few years. Special thanks to all the staff & especially the trauma team at Cariboo Memorial Hospital, and to all the staff at Williams Lake Seniors’ Village. You all made Walter’s journey more endurable.

The Ware family wishes to express heartfelt thanks to West Floor Ponderosa Lodge for the cheerful and loving care given to Roy Ware during his 10 month stay. Also to the Parishioners of Holy Family Parish for all their prayers during this difficult time. A Special Thanks to Adrian and Jo-Anne Taylor for their ongoing support. Sincerely Esther Ware and family

Daylin Malloy

Peter was not just a brother, a father, a grandfather and a friend, he was so much more! He was a boy scout, a fly fisherman, a fly tier, a boxer, a chef, a merchant marine, a cane rod builder, a fish farmer, an inn keeper, a guitar player, a singer, an avid reader, a jag enthusiast, a food and wine connoisseur, a Freemason, a Shriner and a storyteller, or as he was known to the Corbett Lake Cane Rod Builders Fellowship, ‘The Bamboo Rod Building Blue Belt Conversationalist’ ! Peter was a true Renaissance man! Peter is survived by his ‘Lady Barbara’, brother George, daughter Pam (Stuart) Allen, granddaughters Robyn and Jocelyn Allen, grandsons Brenden, Jordon, Evan (Lisa) Angel and great-granddaughter Nevaeh. Peter was predeceased by his parents George and Ethel McVey, daughter Debbie McVey and his wife Eileen McVey. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Merritt Civic Centre on July 20, 2019 at 1:00 pm, with reception to follow. We would like to say a special ‘thank you’ to Kim Patterson for your unconditional support and to Dr. McLeod and all the doctors and nurses in Merritt, Kamloops, Vancouver and the Cancer Clinic in Kelowna for their compassionate care. Condolences may be sent to the family at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
