As expected, Terry Lake will be seeking the federal Liberal nomination in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo. Lake is the first person to publicly declare for the party’s local nomination as the Oct. 21 federal election nears. The former mayor of Kamloops and former provincial health minister has been considering the nomination for some time and opted to make the decision official Tuesday, noting there’s only so much time to get a team and campaign organized. “At some point, you have to pull the trigger,” he told KTW. Lake said he knows the party would like to have a candidate in place sooner rather than later and is expecting a nomination meeting will be held within the next 30 to 45 days. “That will give others a definite date they can work towards if they want to contest the nomination,” Lake said, noting he is not aware of any other prospective candidates seeking the Liberal nomination locally. Lake said he chose to wade into federal politics because he feels there’s more work to be done combatting the

opioid crisis in Canada. He also wants to help maintain the progress he has seen the Liberal government make in areas such as climate change, Indigenous reconciliation and the economy. Lake added he is fearful of a Conservative government unravelling that progress. “I wouldn’t be happy with myself sitting on the sidelines and risking that,” Lake said. Encouraged to announce his candidacy by members of the party and other supporters during the past year, Lake said his past as a B.C. Liberal was something he weighed in making his decision. While they share the same name, the federal and B.C. Liberal parties are not affiliated. The provincial party is considered to be more ideologically conservative. “There will be different views on my candidacy and whether people who have supported me in the past will support me in the future, and that’s fine,” Lake said, noting people can agree and disagree on their visions for the country. If he snares the nomination, Lake said he will seek a leave of absence from his job with cannabis producer Hexo Corp. once the campaign begins. See SIX MONTHS, A4

will not seek his party’s nomination this year. 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 “an extensive and detailed candidate package” that will be reviewed by the national party. Sundhu has told KTW there are up to four people who have expressed interest in seeking the nomination, adding the local riding association hopes to have a candidate announced 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-Thompson-Cariboo nomination. Green president Matt Greenwood, the party’s local candidate in 2015, said he is undecided on whether to again seek the nomination this year. He said a nomination date set will likely be set for May or June. The People’s Party of Canada — Canada’s newest federal party created by former Conservative MP Maxime Bernier — has drawn
“And then, of course, we wait and see what happens. If I’m elected, then more decisions have to be made,” Lake said of his role as Hexo’s vice-president of corporate and social responsibility and communications. As an MP, Lake said, he could still have connections to his employment, such as extending his leave of absence or just taking on a less active role. He has said the ongoing controversy involving the federal Liberals and SNC-Lavalin was not a factor in his decision. Having discussed the situation with caucus members of the party and having followed the situation as it unfolds, Lake believes the issue is a case of a difference of opinion on what constitutes pressure or influence. While incumbent MP Cathy McLeod was confirmed last year as the Conservative candidate in this year’s election, Lake is the first person to announce a bid for another party’s local nomination as the Oct. 21 federal election nears. The remaining political parties have yet to announce any interested seekers of their nominations in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo. NDP president Bill Sundhu ran in the 2015 federal election, but
interest from potential local candidates. Regional co-ordinator Glen Walushka said there are three or four people considering the party’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 won’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. The federal election will be held on Oct. 21. There are 338 seats in Parliament. As of Thursday, the party distribution of seats is as follows: Liberal (177), Conservative (97), NDP (41), Bloc Quebecois (10), Independent (7), Green (1), People’s Party (1) and CCF (1). The CCF is the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation, a party that was deemed defunct when it became the NDP in 1961. It is listed in the Parliament party standings because Saskatchewan MP Erin Weir, kicked out of the NDP caucus by leader Jagmeet Singh over harassment allegations, has declared himself a member of the CCF. There are three vacant seats.

IH warns of dangerous synthetic drug KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A synthetic drug found in fentanyl in Kamloops is the same drug that led to a mass overdose event in Brooklyn in 2015. Interior Health has issued a warning after a drug-checking machine — Fourier-Transform Infrared Spectrometer — revealed that beige pebbles found in Kamloops contained caffeine, heroin, fentanyl and a synthetic cannabinoid called AMB-FUBINACA. Interior Health said the AMB-FUBINACA substance causes “speedy, trippy-like symptoms” with hallucinations. In high doses, users of the synthetic cannabinoid can appear to be having what looks like an opioid overdose, but will not respond to Naloxone, a medication that temporarily reverses the effects of an opioid overdose. AMB-FUBINACA was the drug involved in a mass casualty overdose event in Brooklyn four years ago in which 18 men were taken to hospital after being found in what the New England Journal of Medicine called “zombielike” state, based on observations by onlookers. Those who had overdosed on the synthetic
drug fell into “a trancelike state, groaning and moaning, their eyes lifeless and their movements slow and seemingly mechanical,” according to a December 2016 New York Times article. The synthetic cannabinoid was originally developed by the pharmaceutical company Pfizer as a strong depressant, but never tested on humans as the company abandoned its research. AMB-FUBINACA was also listed as contributing to about 20 overdose deaths in New Zealand in 2017. Dr. Trevor Corneil, Interior Health’s chief medical health officer, said health officials are not aware of any deaths in which the cannabinoid is the only substance. “Often overdose deaths are caused by a mix of different substance together and we’re not seeing any increase in overdose deaths related to this substance, relative to the impact of fentanyl, which is the major toxin we have in our drug supply right now,” he said. Corneil said the discovery of the drug is a good example of the level of sophistication that both harm-reduction workers and users have been able to access in the province. “This is the problem with criminalization, in

that it takes away any of the safeguards that the system puts in place to ensure that people get the product they think they’re buying and it hasn’t been mixed with something else,” Corneil said. He said workers are seeing that users are becoming more aware that they need to have their illicit drugs tested and when they learn what’s in their drugs, they make better decisions. The testing machines at supervised drug-use sites look at a large database of drugs, which Corneil said is used for both research and by police. “Many of them are unusual and rare and we’re finding that manufacturers and suppliers are trying different new substances all the time ... trying to make a buck off people who are quite marginalized by the criminalized setting around them,” Corneil said. According to the New England Journal of Medicine, the AMB-FUBICANA tested in Brooklyn in the summer of 2015 was 85 times as potent as the main agent in plant-grown marijuana — THC (tetrahydrocannabinol). Synthetic drugs like AMB-FUBICANA and K2 are made in labs and are a world apart from natural cannabis. D#30150

Bregoliss apparently played one of the leads and the performance stuck with Branchflower. “He was very good,” he said. Coun. Bill Sarai said Bregoliss once lived in his neighbourhood and the two developed a special relationship, though Sarai hadn’t seen him recently. Sarai said Bregoliss was approachable and humble, despite his storied background grounded in service, and draws from him inspiration as the city continues to work on uniting neighbourhoods. “He left a great legacy in this city,” Sarai said. “I hope I can be half as good as he was.”

Direct to Smelter – Precious Metals Recycling Roadshow coming to Kamloops Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Kamloops April 25th and 26th. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Brock Activity Centre between 10am and 5pm each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin. “Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” said Dick. Barry Dick “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Major purchases gold and silver from other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are graded and set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not. “If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information” says Dick. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling.” Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. “Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. That prevents a lot of diesel from being burned.” Gold and silver purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without incurring that environmental cost.

PIPELINE FEUD NEEDS TO END
W
ith Jason Kenney’s United Conservative Party winning the provincial election in Alberta, British Columbians may be wondering if the newly elected premier will make good on his promises to end oil exports to the West Coast province. Kenney’s threat, made during Alberta’s election campaign, was meant to convey a way to punish the B.C. NDP government for its opposition to the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. This is not be the first time the two provinces have been at odds over the pipeline — and it goes beyond Alberta’s attack on Lotusland vino. A year ago, the Alberta government under NDP premier Rachel Notley introduced legislation to give that province’s energy minister the power to restrict the amount of oil and gas leaving the province. This move, which could have restricted the amount of Alberta oil coming to British Columbia, would have had some far-reaching consequences for this province. However, British Columbia would not be the only one to lose if Kenney makes good on his promises to stop westward oil exports. By shutting or even slowing the flow of oil from Alberta to B.C., Kenney’s actions would show the world Canada is a troubled country, a country riddled with internal strife and quarrels — even more than it may already appear to be with federal/provincial and Indigenous/governments battling. This heightened image of a fractured Canada would not give international investors much confidence if they are interested in doing business in this country or with this nation’s firms. When interprovincial disagreements escalate to the level of the Alberta-B.C. dispute, Canada appears to be a house divided. And a house divided against itself cannot stand. With Ottawa set to make a decision on June 18 on the fate of a $4.5-billlion pipeline it owns, one would hope cooler heads will prevail — but past actions do not give us much hope.

Of Paramount importance
A
twist has emerged in the plot line of Paramount Theatre and the community now has a say in how its story will end. When word got out earlier this month that Landmark Cinemas would cease operation of the downtown theatre, at Victoria and Fifth, public reaction was swift. Film buffs, downtown dwellers, armchair historians and arts advocates shared online thoughts rated PG to R. Nostalgia poured into the virtual abyss, while opinions shared were of disappointment and anger over losing the venerable home to Kamloops Film Society’s weekly film series and annual film festival. However, the community has since learned the theatre will stay open, at least for now. Local property-management firm Kelson Group purchased the building and will generously lease it below market rates to KFS. The film society will have the option of renewing its lease in five years or purchasing the building at cost. Kelson Group vice-president of operations Jason Fawcett told this newspaper the building will continue to operate as a theatre, as long as it has community support. “We’re going to do everything that we can to keep it functioning,” added Kelson Group president Ron Fawcett during a press conference last week. The non-profit has an uphill climb. Landmark pulled out of this market and sold the building due to competition with Cineplex Odeon and industry changes at a

time when endless streaming services keep people at home. That prime downtown real estate could easily become Kelson’s next housing project — the firm called that “plan D” — and the city is effectively faced with a one-time opportunity to create and support a viable theatre, something that could honour the past and pave way for a new era of arts and culture in Kamloops. (The Fawcetts are also behind a proposal for a performing-arts centre a block from the Paramount.) Anyone who has gone to the Paramount in recent years knows KFS is the heart and soul of that space. Volunteers have filled seats by challenging audiences beyond superhero movies and the latest Netflix binge project. I will never forget how utterly disturbed I was while watching The Skin I Live In at a recent festival. The experience brought me back to the theatre to find out what KFS could possibly show next. The next step will be for Kamloops Film Society to build on its success.
Some thoughts include: retro films, black-and-white movies, Rocky Horror Picture Show and other cult flicks, old Christmas movies during the holidays and documentaries that align with news of the day or historical events. The theatre boasts character that could not be replicated if it were to be torn down and rebuilt shiny and new. Embrace that and add to its vibrancy. Plaster the walls in old movie posters, local events advertisements and create a space that feels unique to Kamloops so the city will in turn feel a further connection and choose to support it. Hoist a neon marquee that shines down the street, boldly showing pride for the city’s indie theatre, The Paramount, which could rival similar venues in places like Portland. Apply for a liquor licence and serve food, beer and wine, in addition to tasty buttered popcorn and kettle corn. Team up with local breweries, wineries or fast-casual restaurants to complement plans for film, theatre, comedy and music events. KFS executive director Dusan Magdolen said the society is anxious to hear ideas from the community. However, he added, “I also see it as a personal challenge to entice the community back to this heritage building.” Once KFS does the work, it will ultimately be up to Kamloopsians to put bums in the seats. Will Paramount get a happy ending? jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
KAMLOOPS’ BIOSOLIDS NOT TURTLE VALLEY’S PROBLEM Editor: If the City of Kamloops believes class B biosolids are safe as soil amendments, the city should be using them on public spaces within its boundaries to enhance its parkland, green spaces and recreation facilities. Doing so would save the city the $4.4 million now being paid to Nutrigrow/Arrow Transport to haul the biosolids from the city’s wastetreatment site to a bison ranch in Turtle Valley, This is unlikely because city
residents would be vocal in their objections for valid reasons. The toxic footprint of the materials and their potential impact on the health and safety of people and animals would not be allowed. In addition, concerns would be raised about safety, traffic volume, dust and noise. These are the issues that Turtle Valley residents are now facing. There are as many experts concerned about the safety of applying class B bisolids to agricultural land as there are experts who tell
us not to worry. When there is so much disagreement among the experts, then surely the wise course of action is extreme caution and intense scrutiny of all land application plans. The Turtle Valley application of class B biosolids will cover 31 hectares of logged mountainside (Mount Boysee) one meter deep in a mix of biosolids/soil/wood fibre. The land use application does not adequately cover load, slope or surface water concerns.
If toxic materials wash from the site into Chum Creek and, ultimately, the Thompson River, salmon populations could be affected. The significant risks posed by this biosolids application will not be borne solely by those who profit directly from it. The shortsighted choices of the Turtle Valley Bison Ranch, Nutrigrow/Arrow Transport and the City of Kamloops should not be allowed to affect my health, the health of my family and commu-
TAX HIKES PROMPT NEED FOR A REALITY CHECK Editor: When you are retired, you have a lot more time to think and analyze things. You also have more time to talk with other retired people, who also live on a fixed pension income. Our recent discussion was about how much property taxes have risen over the years. One friend said his taxes have almost quadrupled over the past 20 years, while another friend said his taxes have almost doubled over the past 10 years. Both commented on the fact that there have been no new services added. So, are these big increases tied only to inflation and cost of living?
WE MUST NOT POLLUTE WITH PLASTIC
I don’t think many working and retired people pay attention or realize the magnitude of the year over year increases, or the effect of the assessed value increase combined with the tax hikes. Where does all this money go? Will it become too expensive to afford your own home in the future? These are issues I never thought about when I was younger, but now, with the luxury of time to pay attention, it sure makes me wonder. It’s part of getting older, I guess, and looking back on how much everything has changed. It is time for a reality check.
Editor: Everybody is talking about the need for re-usable bags. I agree. We use plastic boxes to pick up our groceries and we use plastic bags to keep our garbage container clean. I do not like a filthy garbage container in my garage. There is so much small plastic today that gets sent to landfills. It has to be contained; otherwise, this plastic will blow all over the country — and that is last thing we need. Frank Lang Kamloops

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NOTE TO THE TNRD: SECRECY IS NOT GOOD FOR DEMOCRACY Editor: Democracy works best with transparency. Keeping the public apprised of how our elected officials vote on our behalf is a fundamental principle of good governance. A recent vote by Thompson-Nicola Regional District directors has displayed a disappointing lack of belief in enhancing transparency and openness in government. As a Kamloops resident affected by some of the decisions made by TNRD directors, the recent decision to strongly reject Area P director Mel Rothenburger’s motion — designed to find a solution to have the votes
of our TNRD representatives recorded for the public record — is troubling. A majority of TNRD directors have shown a disregard for greater public insight by defeating a motion to explore a costeffective solution to establish a public record on how individual TNRD directors are voting on issues that matter to their constituents. The TNRD allows the public and media to attend and observe its monthly public meetings, but there is no record of how particular representatives are voting. It is incumbent upon individual direc-
Turn down those lights Editor: As a motorist who uses a car for work, I’m finding it more and more difficult getting around at night, when I am literally blinded by aftermarket HID (high intensity discharge) headlights. Vehicles that have this type of headlight from the factory are fine because the reflective lens is designed for them. Aftermarket HID bulbs in a regular vehicle lens spread an intense beam too wide and into people’s eyes, causing dangerous temporary blindness. Why are these permitted? S. Calahan Kamloops
tors to request their vote be recorded for the public record after every vote. This is not a very efficient option and it is rarely exercised by TNRD directors. That there is no voting record is simply unacceptable and bewildering, given the technology to record the votes of 26 or more elected officials has been available for some time. The TNRD board’s defeat of Rothenburger’s reasonable attempt for greater transparency and openness, by establishing a voting record of decisions made by individual TNRD directors, is a slap in the face to citizens living in our
regional district. Providing the public access to the voting record of our elected officials is a cornerstone of democracy, which allows us the opportunity to scrutinize the activities of our public servants to ensure citizens can assess whether their elected representatives are acting in their best interests. Secrecy is not good for democracy. Denis Walsh Kamloops Editor’s note: Denis Walsh is a Kamloops councillor.
LESSON LEARNED: LOOK AT PARKING RECEIPTS Editor: I recently parked on Fifth Avenue, close to the excellent Barb’s Used Book and Music Sale in the former Value Village building downtown. I’ve had experience with our parking machines, so I confidently followed the instructions and fed the meter $1.25. I then pocketed my receipt and sashayed away to spend a pleasant 50 minutes or so at the sale. When I returned to my vehicle, pleased with my purchases, I saw a parking violation notice on my windshield. It claimed I had paid only 25 cents.
So what happened to the dollar I had also deposited? Though I was upset about the fine, I paid it. What would be the point of phoning or filling out a dispute form since I couldn’t prove I had thrown that loonie into the machine? It was a lesson learned — take a good look at your parking receipt before sashaying away. Elma Schemenauer Kamloops KTW reader Elma Schemenauer said she paid a fine due to the mystery of the disappearing dollar. DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

LOCAL NEWS Death at Sun Peaks event A 28-year-old man was killed in an accident at a snowmobile competition in Sun Peaks on the weekend. Police said the rider was seriously hurt during competition on Saturday and was airlifted off the mountain but died of his injuries. The organizers of the event, the Western Canadian Hillclimb Association, issued a statement on Tuesday, noting the remainder of the competition was cancelled following the fatality. “The WCHA is working with the RCMP and [Sun Peaks] resort staff on their investigation into the event and will bring you more information as it becomes known to us,” the statement reads. “This tragedy has affected many people and our hearts go out to the family, friends, fellow riders and all those involved.” Sun Peaks Resort also sent a prepared statement to KTW, noting resort ski patrol was on scene immediately and provided medical assistance to the injured rider. “Our hearts go out to the family, friends, event organizers and all those involved,” the statement reads. “This is a tragic incident and we will do everything we can to assist during this difficult time.” The investigation is ongoing.

The West Victoria Street reconstruction project is expected to take 18 months to complete. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian is reminding residents to be patient, expect delays and check the city’s webcams for traffic updates. “This is a $13-million, 18-month project that is critical to the continuous operation of water, sewer, storm sewer, hydro, fibre optics and we have to do it,” he said.

West Victoria project has growing pains JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
One week after the start of the West Victoria Street construction project, parking, trucking and routing have been the initial pains. Riverside Park users have experienced reduced access to parking, while drivers will have noticed increased traffic through the Halston and Summit connectors and along Highway 5 through the Tk’emlups te Secwpemc reserve. Lansdowne Parkade users downtown have had issues turning out onto the street. The downtown truck route is also closed, resulting in more truck traffic on the Summit Connector. Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian is reminding residents to be patient, expect delays and check the city’s webcams for traffic updates. “This is a $13-million, 18-month project that is critical to the continuous operation of water, sewer, storm sewer, hydro, fibre optics and we have to do it,” he said. “Everybody is going to be inconvenienced by this and we just have to work our way through
it. This is no different than any major infrastructure-improvement project. You can’t do these things without having an impact on the community, so I urge people to be patient.” Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said the city is making changes to parking as it works out kinks after the first week. In order to avoid congestion from 250 to 300 vehicles being driven into the construction zone, the city provided alternative parking to BC Lottery Corporation employees. They have been provided permits to park in one of three downtown city lots: on Uji Way in Riverside Park, in the lot at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue and in the lot behind Sandman Centre. “We looked at it and said if we can help get them out of the traffic, it’s going to be in everyone’s best interest,” Crundwell said. He said it does not amount to special treatment, as BCLC has modified its work hours and is allowing employees to work from home. However, the fact remains the Crown corporation is among the largest employers downtown
and many people continue to need to drive to work. The city allocated 200 parking stalls, including 60 on Uji Way — the lot that has become a sticking point for park users accustomed to parking for free in Riverside Park, next to the trails and tennis/pickleball courts. That location also happens to be the closest alternative parking to BCLC. Crundwell said changes are in the works to stop enforcement of parking at that lot. Spaces will also become available on a firstcome, first-served basis — to the public and BCLC employees alike. “Unfortunately, that’s all we are going to do until the end of this phase,” Crundwell said. The first phase of construction is expected to wrap up in mid-July, at which time parking will return to normal. As for the project itself, Crundwell said the contractor is making good progress. Traffic webcams can be viewed online at kamloopsthisweek.com. For more information on the project, go online to letstalk.kamloops.ca.
Lotto 6/49 winner collects $10-million cheque KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A Tumbler Ridge resident walked into the BC Lottery Corporation headquarters on Tuesday and walked out $10 million richer. Vivienne Mills won the massive prize after matching all six numbers on her April 3 Lotto 6/49 ticket that she purchased online at playnow.ca. The longtime Tumbler Ridge resident said she can’t wait to share the life-changing money with her two children and four grandchildren. “I want to set the kids and the grandkids up right away,” Mills said via a BCLC press release. “We’re looking forward to paying off our grandkids’ education, their student loans and helping them buy a house.” While the epic win is starting to sink in for Mills, she said she couldn’t believe her eyes when she first got the notification of her win.
“I got an e-mail notification saying I won a prize. I was expecting to see a free ticket, maybe a dollar,” she said. “Then I saw a lot of zeros and thought I was seeing things, so I woke up my husband and asked him to look.” After a trip to the local store, Mills confirmed she had won the life-changing $10-million jackpot prize. “I’ve been buying tickets on playnow.com for the last two years,” she said. “I always say that if I win, I win, and if I don’t, I don’t. My husband was shocked. We’re both still shocked.” While her priority is sharing the windfall with family, Mills admitted she is also planning something special for herself. “Well, I’d like to buy a new car,” she said. “Right now, we have a truck and it’d sure be nice to have a smaller car that’s easier to get into parking spots.” Lotto 6/49 is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays after 7:30 p.m.

Saving the Secwepemc language MARTHA WICKETT SALMOM ARM OBSERVER newsroom@saobserver.net
The expansion of Chief Atahm School means much more than extra space for students. It will mean more opportunities to learn the Secwepemc language, more opportunities to become grounded in Secwepemc culture and more capacity to create curriculum materials. Following the recent groundbreaking for a new building to expand the existing immersion school near Chase, Rob Matthew, school principal and acting director of education for the Adams Lake Indian Band, said the new building will include students up to Grade 10, as well as a language centre. The language centre will house the people and technology working on curriculum development. “We would like to have a nice professional facility to produce quality learning materials for our kids,” said Matthew, who for the past 25 years has
10th Annual
created the school’s curriculum materials on language and culture. Chief Atahm is a parent-driven school. “The parents want to extend our program and the values in our program higher. That’s why they want to keep the kids a little longer, so they don’t lose the language, and they see value in the strong cultural identity,” Matthew said. “That’s something that we ask our former students — what do they remember? They say the strength of knowing who you are. It helps them deal with life issues in high school and as adults.” The school provides immersion from nursery to Grade 4, with a heavy emphasis continuing in middle school. It’s hoped a total of 95 students will attend in the fall. Matthew said the cultural component is daily for all grades. “We live and breathe it,” he said, noting elders have committed so many hours and years to help teach the
Quilt
Show & Tell
students language and culture. “They’re so inspiring. They say, ‘Don’t give up,’” Matthew said. Despite the efforts to retain the Secwepemc language, it remains endangered. To combat the loss, the school has an affiliation with Simon Fraser University to teach adult immersion. Ten students have committed to becoming fluent and are working on their 15th course, which will go toward a proficiency certificate and diploma. “If we can do it right, we will have a degree in our language which would ladder to a B. Ed [Bachelor of Education],” Matthew said, meaning students could become teachers of the language. “It’s our own language and our own culture which is endangered, so we have to make time to teach it, enjoy it and pass it down… We believe we are defined by our language and our land,” he said. The school expansion is expected to be complete in time for the new school year beginning in September.

Contract negotiations for local forestry workers may come to a head next month as new bargaining dates have been set following a deal struck by a union shop in northern B.C. United Steelworkers (USW) and the Interior Forestry Labour Relations Association (IFLRA) will meet in Kelowna from May 15 to May 17 to discuss a new contract for workers who have gone without a new deal for nearly a year. USW 1-417 president Marty Gibbons told KTW the goal is to finalize a new contract as fast as possible. Complicating the matter for the Kamloops union is an agreement USW Local 1-2017 has signed with the Council on Northern Interior Forest Employment Relations (Conifer) that will likely set a precedent for talks in the south.
Though not recommended by USW’s provincial bargaining unit as a framework, and with no obligation for other locals to accept it, Gibbons said there is no doubt talks will centre around that agreement as Conifer represents many of the same companies represented by the IFLRA in southern B.C. “Has the dIe been cast? Very likely,” he said. The Conifer agreement is a five-year deal retroactive to July 1, 2018, with two per cent increases each year. Gibbons said given how profitable 2018 has been for employers, the union finds it difficult to accept a deal with only two per cent increases. “Our members had high expectations based on the profits their companies had been recording,” he said. Gibbons said the local bargaining unit hopes to tweak the deal as it sees fit for their membership, who will ultimately have the final decision.
Gibbons said USW locals are autonomous and each site has the ability to accept and reject agreements. “You just can’t ignore what the northern locals signed for and, when we get back to the table, we hope to quickly conclude an agreement for our members to sign on,” he said. Union members at locals 1-417 (Kamloops), 1-405 (Cranbrook) and 1-423 (Kelowna) have been without a new contract since July of 2018 and voted in favour of strike action last October. Rotating strikes took place in the Kamloops area at the end of 2018, but the two sides were back at the bargaining table in January. Issues raised by the union include being locked into a longterm contract with small wage increases. USW Local 1-417 represents forestry workers at mills in Kamloops (the plywood mill in Heffley Creek), Clearwater, Salmon Arm, Merritt and Clinton.

Eight get social planning grants Eight organizations from a pool of 15 have received funding via social planning grants from the City of Kamloops. The municipality doles out $45,000 annually for local community initiatives through the grants. Unspent funds from 2018 were included in the funding allotment for 2019, which brought the total to $57,433. This year’s successful applicants include: • $4,050 to the Thompson Shuswap Master Gardeners; • $10,640 to Kamloops
Family Resources; • $18,643 to the Kamloops Sex Assault Counselling Centre; • $2,500 to Pacific Sport Interior BC; • $2,000 to Spinal Cord Injury BC; • $7,600 for the Thompson Nicola Cariboo United Way; • $4,000 for Interior Community Services; • $8,000 to the Kamloops Arts Council; Previously committed funds of $15,000 per year continue for the social enterprise organizations that were selected in 2018
as part of their three-year funding approval. During the past 12 months, the Kamloops Food Policy Council, the Kamloops Music Collective Society and the Elizabeth Fry Society have been working with Purppl Community Enterprise Accelerator CCC Inc. on mentorship, training and capacity building. Over the next two years, those groups will use the ongoing funding to implement the tools and knowledge garnered from their work with Purppl.

Cheryl (left) and Tia Stonehouse were among those who took part in the 2018 Chris Rose Walk for Autism. The annual event returns this weekend — during Autism Awareness Month — with the walk scheduled to take place this Saturday. The event will start at 10 a.m. at the NorKam senior secondary soccer field. From there, participants will walk to McArthur Island and return to NorKam, where the North Kamloops Lions will serve up hamburgers and hot dogs for a small fee. All proceeds raised from the walk will go to fund programs and services for people with autism. Registration is by donation, but there is a minimum $10 donation to receive a T-shirt. For more information, go online to chrisrosecentre.org. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW FILE
Walking for autism awareness this weekend The namesake of the annual walk, Chris Rose, leads the way in the 2018 walk. Rose founded the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism in 2002.

The most important fundraising date on the Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism calendar arrives this weekend. The centre’s ninthannual fundraising walk will take place on Saturday — rain or shine. “It’s always somewhat weather-dependent,” Wanda Carisse, executive director of the centre, told KTW. “But we’d love to see between 200 and 300 people.” Carisse said the walk is the largest annual fun-
draising event the centre holds and a big reason the lights stay on at the North Shore facility. “We need $30,000 to $40,000 every year from
fundraising,” she said. “That’s over and above what we have from other sources. The walk is a big way to do that. It has generated

anywhere from $10,000 to $25,000 — our biggest was $30,000, but we haven’t seen that since our first year. “Typically it’s about $12,000.” The Chris Rose Therapy Centre for Autism provides service to about 70 students and employs more than 30 people. “We have 27 children attending the day program,” Carisse said.
“We have about 30 who access our extended program and 11 adults who access our adult program.” The facility’s work is funded largely through government contracts, grants and donations, but Carisse said money raised by the walk makes up a significant portion of the annual budget. “We’re very well supported in the community, but that funding
isn’t always guaranteed,” she said. This year’s Walk for Autism has been expanded to include a number of non-profit vendors, Carisse said, a move organizers hope will attract more participants. “We’re hoping to generate much more awareness and more oomph than we have in the past,” she said, noting members of the North Kamloops Lions Club will be serving burgers and hot dogs after the walk for donations to the cause. “We have Uncle Chris the Clown coming for

The Kamloops Riverside Lawn Bowling Club’s third annual free Try It Days will be held on Saturday and Sunday at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. each day. The idea behind the Try It Days is to expose lawn bowling to a new, and younger, demographic. The first two Try It Days, in 2018 and 2017, drew large numbers of visitors to the 97-yearold club’s facility in Riverside Park. The club, which had about 60 members last year, wants to continue growing its junior membership — anyone 18 or younger — and added its first three in that category in 2017. In Canada, lawn bowling is

Each player has a set of four bowls that should fit comfortably in the hand. Putting one foot on the mat, players line it up with the jack and let the bowl fly. Alternating shots, the closest to the jack gets the point, with more points awarded for bowls on the same team closer than the opposing team. For this weekend’s event, the club is asking people interested in learning lawn bowling to make a reservation so the club can line up enough coaches and make time for everyone.

often considered a game for seniors, but it’s a game enjoyed by all elsewhere. Known as a social game, lawn bowling originated in England and is popular in places such as Australia. The game involves two teams of between one and four players earning points by rolling bowls — biased balls — closest to a smaller ball, called a jack. It’s mostly played outside on grass or turf. Though it sounds a bit like bocce, it’s more like curling as the games are similar in how the balls curl, ends are structured and points are tallied. A coin flip determines who throws the jack. It must be centred just right; after it is tossed, the jack is adjusted Bowls differ in weight, with one side rounder than the other.

Fun Factor Fun Centre is bringing in bumper cars and four lanes of miniature bowling in an effort to offer customers a more interactive experience. The new games are replacing the facility’s pirate-themed mini-golf course, which has been offered for the past eight years. This Sunday will be the last chance to sink some putts before the indoor course is closed to make space for the new games owner Arthur Loring expects to have up and running by the end of May. “We just felt it was time to bring a new attraction to Kamloops,” Loring said. He said mini-golf had been well-received, but noted the North Kamloops venue, which celebrates 30 years in business next year, wants to focus on more social, interactive activities par-
ents and children can enjoy together. “That’s something we felt is really lacking in society now,” he said. “Everyone’s buried in their [cellphone] screens,” Loring said. The games will also be more visible to spectators, which isn’t the case with the mini-golf area. Loring said bowling and bumper cars will be good activities for groups and birthday parties. The bumper cars will be battery-powered and will have a more modern design than the traditional look you’d expect to see at a fair. “They’re round, they’ve got LED lighting on them, there’s also some interactive targets on them so you can hit your opponent at a certain spot and it’ll actually send them spinning,” Loring said. The new miniature bowling layout will be designed for casual fun as opposed to league play. The game will involve a 10-pin set-up with a ball meant for the 5-pin game on lanes half the length seen in traditional bowling alleys.
25th Annual PROGRESS
Loring said he thought of bringing in a bowling game before Bowlertime on nearby Eighth Street was shuttered last fall, but the closure helped confirm his decision to add it. “We’ve had a lot of people saying that’s an amenity we’re missing on the North Shore,” he said. Loring said the game, which doesn’t require special shoes, is a lot of fun and is great for date nights and family time alike. Part of the changes at Fun Factor will involve removing a wall that separates the arcade area from the mini-golf course, opening up the space considerably for spectators. “There’s going to be some configuration changes, but we’re not going to make the games area any smaller,” Loring said. “If anything, I might have room for a few extra machines.” Fun Factor is located at 910 Tranquille Rd. in North Kamloops.

Am I paying too much? Recently, an excellent client brought in a family member to see if we could review and analyze their portfolio. This investor was motivated by two triggers. First, they had experienced a low rate of return over the last few years. Second, they were surprised to discover they were paying over 3.4% in fees – well in excess of the industry averages. What do investors typically pay? In 2014, PriceMetrix collected fee data on over seven million North American investors and $3.5 trillion in investment assets and found the average fee that investors are paying for advice and services was: $250,000 - $499,999 $500,000 - $999,999 $1,000,000 - $1,999,999 $2,000,000 +
1.4% 1.3% 1.2% 0.8%
I will be among the first to say that cheaper does not always mean better. I am sure most of
us have purchased a product or service because of the low cost only to have it break or fail shortly after. On the other hand, consumers want to know they are paying a fair price for feature and benefits of the service or product.
provide a clear annual summary of how much clients pay. This improvement in transparency, which we feel is much needed, is helping investors determine if they are receiving sufficient value for the fees paid.
A few points to consider:
The majority of our clients operate under a “fee based” model. Clients pay a flat fee based on the size of their account. This fee includes all our services and goes directly to TD Wealth. From there, we receive a portion which pays for our expenses: advertising, research, supplies, staffing and our livelihood. Fees charged to non-registered investment accounts may be tax-deductible. Please consult your tax advisor to see how this relates to your personal situation because there are no commissions and every investment pays an equal amount, we are unbiased and product neutral.
1. Am I paying a fair price? Your fee should help you with the following: avoid mistakes, make more money or save time. Ideally, you would benefit from a combination of all three. 2. What does the fee include? Transactions costs, administration, service, tax planning, estate planning, insurance reviews, retirement planning and investment advice? 3. Are there any potential conflicts of interests? Does the advisor receive bonuses or additional pay to sell their firm's products? 4. Are there other hidden fees that are not obvious? This is still an area of confusion for many. A lot of investors are out of their comfort zone and want help managing their wealth. We try to educate clients so they can make an informed decision. Admittedly, the investment industry has been “murky” with respect to costs. Regulators now require all investment firms to

Streaming set to eclipse cable DAVID FRIEND
CANADIAN PRESS
The number of Canadian households paying for at least one streaming video service will eclipse traditional TV subscribers for the first time next year, acccording to a forecast in an annual report on consumer habits. Convergence Research Group said the growing popularity of an array of streaming options — ranging from Netflix and Crave to sports platform DAZN (pronounced da-zone) — is leading to a gradual shift in where viewers spend their entertainment dollars. Those changing habits will cross a benchmark by the end of 2020 as more streaming companies launch in Canada, said Convergence Research president Brahm Eiley in the Couch Potato report on
industry trends, released Monday. “If we look at things a year ago compared to where we are now, you’re starting to see the global platforms enter Canada — and that’ll only intensify in the next couple of years,’’ Eiley said in an interview. He pointed to Apple and Disney as two major corporations that plan to launch streaming platforms in the United States later this year. Both companies are expected to eventually make a push into Canada, adding to a list of newcomers that include art-house platform the Criterion Channel and the CBC Gem app. The Canadian adoption of streaming offerings has been much slower than in the United States, in part because Canadians have less than half the streaming options Americans do, Eiley added. It’s one reason why many households
still pay for both cable and streaming services, though even that is changing. The report estimates about 32 per cent of Canadian households will not have a traditional TV subscription by the end of 2020 — an increase of about two percentage points from 2018. Traditional outlets, particularly cable TV and satellite across Canada, have seen a downturn in subscribers of roughly two per cent each year since 2015, the report states. Last year, Canadian TV subscribers declined by 204,000 and another 253,000 cancellations are expected this year, the report states. Convergence Research also estimates Canadian revenue for streaming video services grew 33 per cent to $1.12 billion, with forecasts on track for it to reach $1.51 billion in 2019.
Samsung delays folding phone launch Samsung is pushing back this week’s planned public launch of its highly anticipated US$2,000 folding phone after reports that reviewers’ phones were breaking. The company had been planning to release the Galaxy Fold this Friday, but instead it will now run more tests and announce a new launch date in
the coming weeks. The delay is a setback for Samsung and for the smartphone market generally, which had been pinning some hopes on the folding phone to catalyze innovation in the industry. The Galaxy Fold, with its US$1,980 price tag, was not intended to be a mass market
hit, but many hoped it would hint at a new wave of smartphone advances. But device reviewers quickly found issue with the Galaxy Fold, which is about the size of an average smartphone when folded, and the size of a small tablet when its two sides are pulled apart.
Several journalists reported the inside screens flickering, freezing and finally dying on their test units. Samsung said it will look to find ways to better protect the screens and explain to people that the outside protective layer must stay on. — Associated Press

Duterte gives Canada one week to take back garbage Filipino president says he will ‘declare war’ over trash barge CANADIAN PRESS
Victoria Street West Improvements Project STAGE 1 IS UNDERWAY Construction runs Monday–Friday, 7:00 am–5:30 pm, with additional night and weekend work as required. Two lanes of traffic (one each direction) will be maintained throughout the construction zone. Starting at the east end of the corridor near 1st Avenue, moving west towards the Overlanders Bridge, the project will be carried out in four stages over the next year and a half to two years.
Open for business. Businesses on Victoria Street West will
remain open and accessible throughout the project, and they appreciate your continued support.

OTTAWA — The president of the Philippines says if Canada doesn’t take back tonnes of trash within the next week, he will “declare war’’ and ship the containers back himself. Filipino media outlets report that Rodrigo Duterte made threats Tuesday about dozens of shipping containers filled with Canadian household and electronic garbage that have been rotting in a port near Manila for nearly six years. “I want a boat prepared,’’ Duterte said. “I’ll give a warning to Canada maybe next week that they better pull that thing out or I will set sail.’’ Duterte, who is known for his combativeness, threatened to declare war on Canada if the issue isn’t resolved.
“I will advise Canada that your garbage is on the way,’’ he said. “Prepare a grand reception. Eat it if you want to.’’ In 2013 and 2014, a total of 103 shipping containers from Canada labelled as plastics arrived in the Philippines for recycling, but Filipino customs inspectors determined the containers were actually filled with debris from Canadian trash bins. Canada has been trying for nearly six years to convince the Philippines to dispose of the garbage there, even though a Filipino court ordered the trash returned to Canada in 2016. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was asked about the matter on trips to the Philippines in both 2015 and 2017. On the first visit, he said Canada had no legal means to force the company that shipped
the waste to take the trash back. In 2017, Trudeau said Canada was working very hard on a solution and that it was “theoretically’’ possible for Canada to take back the trash. A year after that, Canada and the Philippines formed a working group of officials to solve the issue, but nearly six months later nothing has been resolved. The Canadian government didn’t appear to be changing its tune following Duterte’s comments. A spokeswoman for Environment Minister Catherine McKenna sent a written statement that is identical to the statement issued by a different spokeswoman last week, mentioning the working group and promising to work with the Philippines “to ensure the material is processed in an environmentally responsible way.’’

Victoria Street West Improvements Project The Zipper Merge is back! When approaching the
construction zone, drivers are encouraged to use both lanes until the point of merging and then take turns to safely and smoothly ease into the remaining lane. Maximizing the full use of two lanes until the point of merging reduces congestion and helps to keep traffic flowing.
OTTAWA — Canada’s infrastructure minister is offering floodravaged communities in Quebec a fast track for federal cash to mitigate the dangers of rising waters, hoping to entice requests from a province that has yet to apply for money from a unique fund set up specifically for the purpose. The two-year-old disaster mitigation and adaptation fund was set up two years ago to dole out $2 billion over a decade, hoping to help communities like those now facing flooding in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick reduce the risks from high water, fires and extreme weather.
The thinking was that every dollar spent on building infrastructure to divert floodwater, for example, would save countless more in reconstruction costs. A 2016 report from the parliamentary budget office predicted federal disaster-assistance payments, to help deal with damage, could hit $900 million next year. Many of the communities facing flooding now also suffered floods in 2017. A provision in the program allows the minister to approve projects in emergency situations and Francois-Philippe Champagne said Tuesday he wants to do that to get work
done as soon as possible. “With spring coming in many communities across Canada, there’s a sense of anxiety because we know that what we don’t do this year may have an impact on the community next year,’’ Champagne said. Champagne wouldn’t speculate about why some provinces or cities haven’t applied for funding in Quebec and New Brunswick, saying instead that he wants to make sure everyone who could use the funding is aware it exists. “There is a sense of urgency in seeing ... these sums of money, which were made available to communities, being used,” he said.

OTTAWA — Canada’s no-fly list faces constitutional challenges from two B.C. men who argue in a pair of court cases that the secret roster violates the Charter of Rights guarantee of fundamental justice. The no-fly regime allows the federal government to bar someone from boarding an airplane
because there are grounds to believe they would threaten the flight or travel to commit a terrorist act. One of the men, Parvkar Singh Dulai, has said he was stopped from getting on a plane last May 17 at Vancouver International Airport. Dulai followed an appeal process, but received a letter in late January saying his name would
remain on the no-fly list. He has asked the Federal Court of Canada for an order striking him from the roster or, at the very least, a re-examination of his case. Dulai is also seeking a declaration that the no-fly provisions violate constitutional rights to freedom of movement and to know the details of the case against him.

Nash, Jagr share Knights’ tale Kamloops D-man helps hockey legend push Czech team to top pro league MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
H
ockeydb.com isn’t even tracking Brendon Nash’s statistics this season. The prolific puck website indicates the 32-yearold Kamloopsian’s final three hockey stops were with Denmark’s Rungsted Ishockey in 2017-2018, Austria’s EC Graz in 2016-2017 and California’s Bakersfield Condors in 2014-2015, a suitcase-toting and not-so-atypical end to a journeyman’s career. Meanwhile, younger brother Riley, a 29-year-old forward for the Columbus Blue Jackets, is at the centre of the hockey universe, heading to the second round of the NHL playoffs after dispatching one of the greatest regular-season teams in league history. Riley had one goal in four games in the first-round sweep of the Tampa Bay Lightning, according to hockeydb.com. So, there can’t be an argument here — the younger Nash is the most noteworthy sibling of 2018-2019. Or maybe there can be. Jaromir Jagr works in mysterious ways. Jagr abdicated his NHL position in 2017-2018, leaving the Calgary Flames to take the throne in his hometown, Kladno, Czech Republic, where he is part-owner of the city’s pro team, second-tier Rytiri Kladno or, in English, the Kladno Knights. His legend in the hockey-mad hub about 30 kilometres west of Prague is perhaps more mythical and folkloric than anywhere else on the planet, and it grew when he returned to push his club back into top-tier hockey. The Knights were relegated to the Chance Liga, the second division, from the top-flight Czech Extraliga following the 2013-2014 campaign. That was a big deal, comparable to a Premier League soccer team booted to the English Football League Championship — grown-men-and-women-in-anguish type stuff. “Attendance was cut in half right way,” Brendon said. “People didn’t come for the first few years.” Brendon, who was part of a failed bid in 2015-2016 to lift Kladno back into the
HOKEJ.CZ PHOTO Not every North American who leaves the continent in search of professional hockey work in Europe comes home with a great story. Brendon Nash has one.
Extraliga, was enlisted again this season, signing a one-year deal and returning to the Czech Republic with wife, Keri, also from Kamloops. “Given that Jagr was going to be here, there was a pretty good chance they were going make a push,” Brendon said during a FaceTime conversation with KTW on Monday. “They came so close last year and, with him coming back to play, I thought it would be a good chance to actually move up and get to play with him.” Brendon, a 6-foot-3, 205-pound defenceman, finished sixth on the Knights in 2018-2019 regular-season scoring with 29 points, including seven goals, in 49 games. Find those stats online at eliteprospects.com or at rytirikladno.cz, with some Google translation work. Jagr was, reportedly, recovering from nagging injuries throughout the early portion of the campaign and kept fresh for the post-season by appearing in only four regular-season contests, registering a goal and three assists.
The 47-year-old star was magically ready for the playoffs and drew a crowd everywhere he went. “It’s crazy what he has to deal with on a daily basis,” Brendon said. “At pretty much every practice, there’s been at least two or three people waiting for him to sign stuff. “A lot of our road games were sold out. He’s trying to warm up, there are always people around trying to take photos, get him to sign stuff. He signs everything. He always takes pictures.” Kladno played a pair of best-of-seven series to begin the playoffs, dispatching both opponents 4-1. The club had help from another of the city’s favourite sons, Tomas Plekanec, who retired from the NHL in November, left the Montreal Canadiens and began playing for both his hometown team, the Knights, in the Chance Liga and HC Kometa Brno in the Extraliga.

Raiders into semifinal Tournament Capital Sports
BRIEFS on May 4. Kamloops won the men’s Division 2 title last May with a 28-27 victory over Vancouver Rowing Club. Meraloma Rugby Club of Vancouver thumped the Raiders 38-0 in the 2017 provincial championship match. PACK STAYS LOCAL Kamloops product Daniella Falsetta will play soccer for the TRU WolfPack next season. Falsetta, who has played in the Kamloops Youth Soccer Association and
Thompson Okanagan Football Club ranks, will graduate from South Kamloops secondary this spring. “I wanted to stay home and be close to my family,” Falsetta told TRU Sports Information. “I also loved the WolfPack’s community involvement. I really wanted to give back. I have always loved the WolfPack so signing here is a dream come true.” The 5-foot-2 midfielder will play under first-year head coach Mark Pennington. “I think she is a versatile player that could play in several positions and she possesses all the off-field qualities to help grow the program,” Pennington said.

JUBILANT SCENES IN KLADNO From A27
KLADNO KNIGHTS PHOTO Kladno Knights fans packed their barn on Sunday to celebrate promotion during the team’s final home game.
In the first two playoff rounds, Plekanec led the Knights with 15 points, including four goals, in 10 games; Nash tallied three goals and five points in 10 games; and Jagr compiled five points, including two goals, in eight games. Kladno advanced to the 12-game qualification round, a tournament featuring the top
two teams from the Chance Liga and the bottom two squads from the Extraliga. The two clubs that finish with the most points play in the

Extraliga next season, while the bottom two join the Chance Liga. Jaromir Jagr did Jaromir Jagr things when it mattered most, recording 10 goals and 13 points in 11 qualification-round games. “He scored all four goals in a 4-2 win that clinched promotion,” Brendon said of the victory over CEZ Motor Ceske Budejovice last Friday. “It was the perfect
storybook ending to his season here.” Travelling Kladno fans brought drums and team scarves to Ceske Budejovice and stayed long after the final whistle to salute the team. The home barn was packed on Sunday for a game that doubled as a coronation, a celebration of the Knights and Jagr, a night on which the home team fell 2-1 to Pirates Chomutov, but the score didn’t matter. Colourful pageantry and repetitive chanting were fixtures throughout the game and party that followed. Kladno, which finished the qualification round with a meaningless road game after KTW’s press deadline on Tuesday, will return to the Extraliga in 20192020, but Brendon’s future with the team is uncertain. “The Europeans are a little slower with how they handle it [contract negotiations],” said Brendon, who had seven points in 11 qualification-round games heading into Tuesday’s tilt. “They’re never in a rush to get anything done. “I feel like I’ve got a few more years left in me, a few more years of travelling before we settle down.” And what about Jagr? “Maybe he’ll hit 50 before he retires,” Brendon said with a laugh.“I hear he’s looking to play a couple more years. That’s just speculation, I guess.” Brendon said North American players in Europe who have similar playing situations to him make somewhere in the range of 30,000 euros to 70,000 euros ($45,000 to $105,000 CDN) per season. “Talking to other guys who have come over, you hear the hor-

ror stories of not getting paid, not getting equipment, not getting flights, but everything has been great,” Brendon said. “Everything has been covered. They negotiate a net salary and take care of all your taxes.” The Knights also provide a car and an apartment for the Kamloops couple, which has embraced trekking across Europe for the past four seasons, although Visa complications forced Keri to leave Europe two months ago. “With Jagr owning the team, after being here last time, you know you can get anything you need to succeed,” said Brendon, a Cornell University alumnus. “We were comfortable coming back here.” Brendon will arrive in the Tournament Capital this weekend to begin his annual offseason routine, which will include training with Greg Kozoris and watching his brother’s NHL playoff run. “No one expected them to sweep Tampa,” Brendon said. “It’s crazy. Now, after all those deals at the deadline, you never know what to expect.” A return to Kladno could mean reuniting with Jagr (and getting Brendon’s name back on hockeydb.com for the 2019-2020 season, as the site keeps Extraliga stats), but the couple seems to be taking a Jagr-esque approach to the offseason decision. “Now that I’ve done it for a few years, I’ve started to learn it’s OK to be a little casual,” Brendon said. “Eventually, it will get done. “We go wherever is the best opportunity to live and play.”

Wild-card winners are the story of this season’s NHL playoffs. The Columbus Blue Jackets, Colorado Avalanche and Dallas Stars upended the NHL’s No. 1, No. 2 and No. 8 teams, respectively, in the post-season’s first round. The Carolina Hurricanes pushed the No. 4 Washington Capitals to a seventh game on Wednesday. “There is nothing to pick between the teams,’’ Toronto Maple Leafs’ head coach Mike Babcock observed. “It’s exciting to be a fan because your team has a chance.’’ Parity may be exciting for hockey fans, but it left the Tampa Bay Lightning and Calgary Flames feeling bereft. The Lightning ran away with the President’s Trophy that goes to the team with the best regular-season record, only to be swept in four straight games by Columbus, the eighth and final playoff seed in the Eastern Conference. The Flames topped the Western Conference with their best season since winning the Stanley Cup in 1989, but went down in five games to the Avalanche, the eighth seed in the West. Upon his team’s
elimination, Calgary head coach Bill Peters indicated he would reach out to Lightning counterpart Jon Cooper to compare notes. Peters did that, but emotions were still so raw, they postponed their “what the heck went wrong?’’ conversation to a later date. “It’s a bitter pill,’’ Peters said. “He needs more time. I want more time. We’ll bump into each other twice this summer. We’ll do it then. “It’ll be a long summer, I’ll tell you that.’’ Dallas didn’t stay in its underdog lane. The Stars knocked off the Predators, who topped the Central Division, in six games. The Hurricanes are giving the defending Stanley Cup champion Capitals all they can handle. So what’s with the wild cards in 2019?
“People don’t realize how close the league is,’’ Flames’ captain Mark Giordano said. “First to eight seed, there’s maybe a difference of five to 10 wins. “It just shows you it is so important to get in [the playoffs] because literally every team that gets in has a chance at winning it.’’ The salary cap is an equalizer, but as in most things, timing is everything. The playoffs were simply an extension of a regular season in which wild-card teams sprinted down the stretch to make playoffs. The top seeds could gear down somewhat the last week of the season and rest players. The challenge, however, was gearing back up to match the level of an opposing team already at full gallop. “You look at Colorado, you know
they were buzzing going into the playoffs and playing their best hockey with a month left in the season,’’ Flames’ goaltender Mike Smith said. “They get in and they kept that going in the playoffs. “We played our best hockey not with a week left in the season. We were resting guys and didn’t really play a meaningful game for quite some time before the playoffs. “They were better at this time of the year. It’s pretty simple.’’ Finishing with 99 points apiece in the Central Division, the Winnipeg Jets and St. Louis Blues were an equitable matchup with the Blues advancing in six games. Jets’ captain Blake Wheeler believes economics and playoff format contributed to upsets elsewhere, although he calls Tampa Bay’s ouster “a pretty considerable anomaly.’’ “It’s the salary cap that gives every team a fighting chance,’’ Wheeler explained. “Maybe the way it’s structured now, the playoff format, it gives those lower seeds a bit more of an opportunity as well.

TORONTO — Highly-regarded Toronto Blue Jays’ prospect Bo Bichette will be sidelined after fracturing a bone in his left hand during a minor-league game on Monday in Syracuse, N.Y. The 21-year-old shortstop,
playing for the triple-A Buffalo Bisons, was struck by a pitch in the third inning from Hector Santiago of the Syracuse Mets. X-rays showed a fracture of the second metacarpal in his left hand. Bichette will consult with team doctors and a hand specialist to determine a plan. Bichette is considered the
No. 2 prospect in the Blue Jays organization behind third baseman and Buffalo teammate Vladimir Guerrero Jr. He is batting .250 with one home run and eight RBIs in 14 games for Buffalo this season. Toronto selected Bichette in the second round of the 2016 draft.

Dawn Marie Barkman It is with profound sadness the we announce the passing of Dawn Marie Barkman on April 12, 2019. Dawn Marie passed away at home with her family by her side as she desired. Dawn Marie was predeceased by her father Edwin Fast Barkman and her mother Della Dorothy Barkman. Dawn Marie is survived by her loving husband Peter Doyle, her children Dennis Doyle, Leanne Sharpe (Robert), grandson Alex Meyer and Jody Sinclair and grandson Parker Frisk, her sister June Skillcorn (David) and her nephew Kit Skillcorn (Liz), her brother Lee Barkman (Anna) and her niece and nephew Meghan Barkman and Maxwell Barkman. Dawn Marie also leaves behind a large family of cousins. Dawn Marie was born in Steinbach, MB in 1948 where she spent most of her young life working in her father’s hardware store. The family then moved to Florida for two years and then returned to Steinbach where they remained until Dawn Marie was going into Grade 12. She and her family then moved to Vancouver, BC in 1965 when her father opened a factory for concrete paving stone called Barkman Concrete. She attended Kilarney High School and worked after school and weekends at her father’s factory. She then moved to Caronport, SK to attend post secondary school for one year. After her time in Caronport, Dawn Marie moved to Minneapolis to attend two years at Bethel College before her passion for adventure and skiing moved her to to Whistler, BC. From Whistler, Dawn Marie moved to Tod Mountain (Sun Peaks) where she worked at odd jobs in the summer months and the kitchen at Todd Mountain for a number of years. It was during this time that Dawn Marie bought a lot on Heffley Lake at the end of Lakeshore Drive. She constructed her own log house from scratch including peeling logs while living in a teepee until the construction was completed. She resided there for a number of years before selling
Although deeply saddened by the loss of our loving mother Eugenia “Jennie” Williamson (née Latocki) on April 7, 2019, she is finally at peace. Jennie was born on October 17, 1930 to Magdeline and Paul Latocki in Winnipeg, MB. She enjoyed many years of good health before enduring multiple health issues. She is survived by her husband Ray, sister Elsie, children Lynne (Mike) and Tom (Melinda), grandchildren Ben (Melea), Katie (Adam), Lindsay (Tyler) and Brad (Libby), and great-grandchildren Ruby, Theodora, Phillipa and Paige. Jennie met her husband Ray while she was working as a nurse in Lynn Lake, MB. They were married in Brooklyn, MB on October 16, 1954 and moved to North Vancouver, BC where Jennie worked as a nurse at the Lionsgate Hospital and Ray worked as a helicopter engineer. They moved to Kamloops in 1962 where Jennie worked at Royal Inland Hospital. Jennie was known for her love of walking, gardening and her grandchildren. Family was important to Jennie. She and Ray were always at every practice, game and performance to support their grandchildren.
They all have wonderful memories of time spent with Jennie. She travelled to many places with Ray. Thailand was one of their favourites, where they enjoyed banana pancakes and nice beaches. Jennie and Ray often took their four grandchildren to Parksville where she would let them eat as much sherbert as they possibly could. As Jennie was from Winnipeg, she loved Winnie the Pooh. Author A. A. Milne wrote, “If there ever comes a day when we can’t be together, keep me in your heart. I’ll stay there forever.” Special thank you to Rae Anderson for providing Jennie with such wonderful care and treating her as though she was her family.

Dawn Marie’s passion for sport and adventure led her to trying out for a female hockey team where she met Peter. A friendship ensued, which developed into a loving and lasting 30 year relationship. Dawn Marie was very entrepreneurial, independent and had many business visions. Being very talented by construction experience she started Dawn Marie’s Painting and Renovations. Which she successfully enjoyed for a period of ten years with a strong clientele. With always an eye to the future she then started Two Wheel Courier which provided a service for banks and law firms moving documents in the downtown core. Dawn Marie ran this company and worked it for 15 years. Dawn Marie was very conscientious and enjoyed many relationships she developed over the years. In the winter months since 1991, Peter and Dawn Marie travelled south to Mexico, having many adventures on the Baja for the first 10 years. They then found Rincon De Guayabitos, expanding their time there as the years went by. Dawn Marie will be missed greatly by her family and friends for her wisdom, knowledge, calming influence and her fighting spirit. She will missed most of all by her best friend and love of her life Peter. There is no service by request. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation.

Elsie Irene Hanson March 7, 1920 - April 14, 2019
On April 14, 2019, mom peacefully left us for her next journey. She was predeceased by her husband Irven, daughter Sandra , sister Thelma Hansen, brothers Bill, Ken, Don and Hubert, sonsin-law Cliff Proznick and Rick Smith. She leaves to mourn daughters Gail Proznick, Carol (Bryce) Williams, Judy (Jerry) Stalzer, son Neil (Mardell), her half sister Yvonne Mostyn and special nieces and nephew. Mom was blessed with fifteen grandchildren, twentyseven great-grandchildren and fourteen great-greatgrandchildren. Mom was born in Caldervale, SK and grew up in Theodore, SK. Mom and Dad married in Galt, Ontario in 1941. After a few moves between Ontario and Saskatchewan we eventually moved back to Saskatchewan (Springside) until moving to Kamloops in 1964. In late 2013, mom was hospitalized and eventually moved to The Hamlets at Westsyde Complex Care. She broke her hip in 2014 and was no longer mobile. The staff on E-2 were the very best and treated her so well. The family gives very special thanks to the care aides Bev, Mandy, Jane and Sandy, as well as the LPN’s, RN’s and Dr. Wynne. A special thank you to Mom’s neighbour Kathy who really looked out for Mom. By Mom’s request there will be no service. The family will have a memorial gathering at a later date.
In Loving Memory Of Ann Hansen July 11, 1941 April 8, 2017
A wife, mother, grandmother, sister, daughter and friend. The world may change from year to year and friends from day to day, but never will the one we loved from memory pass away. We miss you and think of you often.

As a memory for Gabriele, one can listen to The Blue Danube waltz, one of his favourite pieces of music.

The Reverend Father Paul Simms will celebrate the Funeral Mass on Friday, April 26, 2019 at 11:00 am in the Sacred Heart Cathedral.

in civic politics, serving as a councillor with the town of North Kamloops and then with the City of Kamloops. He played a key part in the 1967 and 1973 city amalgamations. He was honoured with Freedom of the City in 1977 and was elected to the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame in 1997. He loved to play baseball and when his playing days were done, he volunteered as a coach and administrator. He discovered golf in his 60s and very much enjoyed spending his days on the golf course with his golf buddies and was always up for a game of golf. He was a longtime member of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club. His greatest joy was his family and the big family dinners with his wife, his children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. True to his Italian /Scotch heritage he enjoyed a good glass of wine and a neat glass of scotch. We would like to thank Dr. Andrew Wynne and the staff at Ponderosa Lodge for their great care and concern for Gordon. He truly appreciated your kindness. Prayers will be recited at 7:00 pm on Sunday, April 28, 2019 with the Funeral Mass at 10:00 am, on Monday, April 29, 2019 at OLPH Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Bob on Saturday, May 4, 2019 at the Summit Baptist Church, located at 1975 Summit Drive, Kamloops, BC at 1:00 pm. Pastor Harry Bicknell, officiating. Please join us in celebrating Bob’s life.
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES
If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly And pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
But just in case I might be wrong, And today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you And I hope we never forget.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss And call you back for one more.
Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, Young or old alike, And today may be the last chance You get to hold your loved one tight.
If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, Why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, You’ll surely regret the day,
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute To stop and say “I love you,” Instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
That you didn’t take that extra time For a smile, a hug, or a kiss And you were too busy to grant someone, What turned out to be their one last wish.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away.
So hold your loved ones close today, And whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them And that you’ll always hold them dear
For surely there’s always tomorrow To make up for an oversight, And we always get a second chance To make everything just right.
Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, You’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989
There will always be another day To say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance To say our “Anything I can do?”
