Scheer vows to reduce taxes if party is elected CONSERVATIVE LEADER SPOKE AT PARTY RALLY IN RIVERSIDE PARK MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Played on stage by the Kamloops Rube Band, Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer said the time is now for his party to earn the trust of Canadians. Scheer spoke at a party rally in Riverside park on Tuesday, telling a large crowd of supporters people have told him they regret supporting the Liberals in 2015. “We’re going to need you to take the message door-to-door,” he said. Voters go to the polls on Oct. 21. The 2015 results in Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo saw Conservative Cathy McLeod get re-elected with 24,595 votes and 35 per cent of the vote — the lowest totals of her three electoral victories. In the 2015 election, the New Democrat and Liberal candidates each earned 30 per cent of the vote, with Liberal Steve Powrie’s 21,215 votes the most ever received by a Liberal candidate in the riding. Voter turnout was 73.4 per cent en route to Justin Trudeau and the Liberals ousting Conservative PM Stephen Harper from power and forming a majority government. Asked if he viewed the riding as remaining a stronghold for the Conservatives, Scheer said no riding is taken for granted, regardless of past results. “Elections are about the next four years,” he told KTW, noting he feels voters were swept up in a wave of support for Trudeau because of the multiple promises he made, some of which have been broken, Scheer noted. The Liberals have recruited former Kamloops mayor and MLA Terry Lake for the 2019 campaign, but Scheer said he believes McLeod will hold her seat. See SCHEER, A6

TRU still wants to create TNRD scholarships MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Thompson Rivers University will continue to look into alternative scholarship opportunities for Thompson-Nicola Regional Districtbased students after having a funding request rejected by the TNRD’s board of directors. At its June 13 meeting, the board turned down the request for a $250,000 endowment fund for 10 scholarships of $1,000 each per year for students from the TNRD. The proposal was crafted specifi-
cally for the TNRD’s consideration and won’t be pitched to other potential funders. “The ambition was to create 10 new awards that didn’t exist, so we would still love to find support and create new awards,” TRU interim vice president of advancement Jeff Sodowsky said. “We will keep pursuing opportunities to support more students and we will align the opportunities with the prospects and the potential funding partners that we identify.” Asked if TRU could use surplus dollars to fund the endowment, Sodowsky said that money is usually
invested in capital projects, which creates infrastructure to support students. “There are more projects and capital needs on the university’s wish list than we have resources for, so the investment from community, government [and] corporations just allows us to do more,” he said. TRU already contributes funds to scholarships and the advancement office looks for partnerships to expand those opportunities for students,” Sodowsky said. “Until there is an opportunity for every student to have a completely free education, there will never be
an end for more student support,” he said. The proposal for regional tax dollars drew some criticism of the university during the TNRD meeting. “It’s long been a feeling in our community that TRU has been neglecting its commitment to rural education,” Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell. “They’ve been dropping the ball on that, reducing services for quite a few years now.” Sodowsky said the comment highlights the need to do a better job communicating what the university is doing in the regional district. “There are a number of activities,
programs that are happening in our regional centres,” he said, noting TRU’s education and research station north of Clearwater and mobile trades training unit that operates in rural areas. “As student demand from different regions fluctuates, so does the way that the university has to address the programming that it offers, but we take very seriously every effort that we have to try and serve those communities,” Sodowsky said, noting he respects the board’s decision. “While I’m disappointed by the outcome, I’m certainly not disheartened,” he said.

Riverside Park concession re-opens JESSICA WALLACE
twitter.com/ KamThisWeek

STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Following demand from the public, the city and Papa G’s Cafe re-opened the concession in Riverside Park on Canada Day — selling out of hamburgers, a few kinds of ice cream and receiving countless words of encouragement for the last-minute decision. “I think we must have had at least 400 people say, ‘Thank you for opening in the park. It’s just not the same without the concession,’” an exhausted Papa G’s owner Gerald Thiessen told KTW on Tuesday morning. “It’s been part of Kamloops since people can remember. They grew up with the concession and their kids grew up with the concession. They couldn’t imagine not having it open in the park.” The city had decided to shutter the longtime concession near the pier in Riverside Park this year, opting instead to encourage food truck business. It noted consistency challenges in operating a daily concession, with
wildfire smoke and weather relatedissues posing problems. The city is also looking to do some work in the park in the future, including bank stabilization, path upgrades and creation of a refrigerated ice rink for which the city is pursuing grant funding. The city owns the concession building, but contracts out the space to a vendor. Thiessen, who also owns Papa G’s Cafe on Seymour Street, said he wanted to continue operating the concession after five years in that location, but the city had made the decision. After the story ran in the June 26 edition of KTW, feedback was swift — with residents expressing their disappointment over the closure and calling for the concession to re-open this summer. They phoned. They typed. And the city listened. Thiessen said he received a call from city staff, asking if he still wanted to open the park concession this summer. He called his suppliers. They were in. He put out a call for employees on Facebook. Sixteen were hired.
The health inspector, business licence office and insurance company finished paperwork in time to serve ice cream on Canada Day. “They all stepped up at the last minute to get everything done,” Thiessen said. “They all stepped up to the plate. It was a team effort.” Thiessen said sales on Canada Day were “unbelievable” — the best in six years, he said, noting he has never before run out of food on Canada Day. With 2.5 hours of sleep, he was back in the cafe first thing Tuesday morning. “It was an amazing day,” he said. “The support we got yesterday [Canada Day] was unbelievable.” Thiessen’s wife will operate the concession for the summer, with three or four of the employees hired for Canada Day to stay on. Weather permitting, concession hours will be 10 a.m. to the end of Music in the Park, between 8 p.m. and 8:30 p.m., until September long weekend. The deal is for one year. It remains unclear whether the concession will re-open next year.
This year’s Y Dream Home lottery sold out after just 10 days in April, which set a new record. In 2017, Y Dream Home lottery tickets sold out in 23 days. In 2018, they sold out in 13 days. Both were records. A total of 15,000 tickets were sold to those hoping to win an $842,000 prize home in Tobiano, at 110 Cavesson Way. Those holding tickets will know today whether they have won the home or any of the 638 additional prizes up for grabs. Kamloops Y Dream Home lottery spokesman Bryce Herman and his crew will begin drawing tickets at 8 a.m. and continue until the home and all prizes have been awarded. The winning 50/50 ticket will also be chosen, with a prize as high as $188,750 up for grabs. The 3,300-squarefoot house was built through a partnership between the Canadian Home Builders’ Association-Central Interior, Thompson Rivers University’s School of Trades and Technology and the Kamloops YMCAYWCA. This is the first year a Y Dream Home has been located outside city limits. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com and ydreamhome.org for updates.

“One thing we’ve seen with the Liberal party in the last little bit is it really didn’t matter who they recruited to run for them. It’s Justin Trudeau’s way or the highway,” Scheer said, alluding to the ousting of Jody WilsonRaybould from cabinet over the SNC-Lavalin affair. He said McLeod offers “strong local representation” that she will continue to bring to her constituents. Scheer said supporting small businesses and the forestry sector — given the recent closures of Interior sawmills — as key issues for his party in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding. He noted his disappointment with a lack of a resolution in the softwood lumber dispute with the U.S. government after having conceded plenty to President Donald Trump in negotiations for a new North America trade agreement. Asked how his party can attract younger voters — given that the majority of the crowd at his event appeared to be middleaged and older — Scheer said
he feels many young people are dismayed with Trudeau and are looking for an alternative, which gives Conservatives a chance to connect with them. Scheer began his speech by describing the last session of Parliament before the summer break as the last with Trudeau as prime minister, which generated cheers from the crowd. He also slammed the government for its multiple scandals and touted his Conservatives as being the party that would tax Canadians less. “We will run a government that lives within our means so we can leave more money in your pocket and let you get ahead — that is the fundamental choice coming up for Canadians coming up on Oct. 21,” he said. Scheer said he would proudly promote clean energy products, such as the $40-billion liquefied natural gas project in B.C., and pledged to get large energy projects built in Canada, with a vision to create a national energy corridor from west to east. The leader of the opposition, however, made no mention of his recently announced climate

BC SPCA seizes 13 African serval cats from breeder JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The BC SPCA has seized more than a dozen rare and exotic African cats that sell for up to $20,000 each from a breeder north of Kamloops. BC SPCA chief prevention and enforcement officer Marcie Moriarty said the animal welfare organization executed a warrant last week in Little Fort and discovered serval cats —10 adult and three kittens — being kept in RV trailers on the property, with the windows blacked out. Little Fort is about an hour north of Kamloops on Highway 5. Moriarty said trailers on the property were determined to contain high levels of ammonia and feces and were also poorly ventilated. She said the cats sell online for between $10,000
and $20,000 each. “This was a really tragic situation on so many levels,” Moriarty told KTW. “These are wild animals. They are native to Africa. Their natural habitat includes wide ranges, lots of nourishment and they hunt for their prey in the wild.” The BC SPCA found out about the breeder following veterinarian reports of sick kittens and complaints about the medical conditions of the cats. Also seized were two dogs and one domestic cat, which were also determined to be in distress. It is unclear how the breeder gained access to serval cats, though Moriarty said the breed is not prohibited under the province’s controlled alien species legislation. Without such rules in place, municipalities can put into place exotic pet bylaws prohibiting such animals as serval cats.
“Clearly, that was not in place in Little Fort,” Moriarty said. The BC SPCA will be recommending charges be laid against the breeder, with respect to violating the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act and the Criminal Code of Canada. The animals were removed with the help of a conservation officer and are being cared for at an undisclosed location. Asked for a health status, Moriarty said that by all reports, they are doing “remarkably well.” Moriarty cautioned potential pet owners against adopting serval cats. In addition, without the province enacting legislation that would licence and register breeders, she asked people to understand homes from where they are getting animals. The BC SPCA provides preadoption tips online at spca. bc.ca.

IS THERE A REASON FOR THE WAITING?
I
t’s not entirely the federal Liberals’ fault that we have yet to see a thriving cannabis industry. Even though the government took longer than anticipated to legalize cannabis, it did finally do so on Oct. 17, 2018. Even though everyone knew years in advance that cannabis would be legalized, most provincial and local governments didn’t really get started on their own legislation until, effectively, the last minute. Kamloops was an outlier, getting ahead of the curve, which is why the first legal cannabis store — the government operation in Sahali — opened here. But most of the many applications from private retailers in Kamloops and around the province are still waiting for the final provincial approval. In Kamloops alone, the city has approved 17 cannabis stores. As of July 3, only two are open. It’s not that getting a licence to sell cannabis should be easy. It shouldn’t, and there are countless obstacles and social issues that need to be dealt with. But with years to plan, there is little excuse for the provincial government not to have been better prepared to resolve those problems and implement legalization, which was a popular idea long before the Liberals decided to run with it. After all, cannabis has been effectively legal for a long time. It’s just that all the money generated by the industry was going into the pockets of criminals instead of generating taxes. By now, most of the applications should have been either approved or denied — at both the municipal and provincial levels — with private operators starting to add to local and provincial economies and driving the black market farther underground. Based on the foot-dragging in Victoria, one would think the provincial government didn’t want the tax money cannabis retail stores are going to generate.

Newspaper readership is not an urban legend
Y
ou’ve heard of urban legends, right? Like the lady who had a spider bite that turned into a nest of eggs that hatched under her skin, or the tale of the kid that died from drinking cola after swallowing Pop Rocks. How about this one: “Nobody reads newspapers anymore.” Like many urban legends, everybody’s heard it and some people assume it must be true because they’ve heard it often enough. Well, like Pop Rocks kid and spider-egg woman, it just isn’t so. The debunker in this case is 2019 Newspapers 24/7 study, conducted by News Media Canada, the national organization representing more than 1,100 daily and community news media outlets across the country. This study, the seventh annual one, was conducted in February 2019 across all provinces, in English and French, and consists of 800 online interviews. It was designed to explore how Canadians read daily and community newspaper content, on different platforms and at different times during the day. Since the first study back in 2012, there have been shifts in reading by platform, but one thing has not changed — Canadians continue to access newspaper content across all the various platforms. In 2012, 85 per cent of Canadians reported they read newspapers on any platform over the course of a week. In 2019, that number has climbed to 88 per cent. This year’s report also found that 83 per cent of newspaper readers are accessing at least some of

their newspaper content online. But that’s not replacing print readership. It’s supplementing it. The study found more than half of readers access newspaper content from both print and online sources. The study found readers from all demographics use multiple platforms — print, desktop/laptop computer, phone and tablet — to access newspaper content. Most print reading happens early in the day, while digital reading is more consistent from morning to night. Which brings us to the other urban legend, that millennials don’t read news. The research specifically looked at the newspaper reading habits of younger Canadians, and found that 88 per cent of millennials (those born between 1982 and 1999) read newspapers weekly — the same percentage as the overall population. The difference with this generation is how they access newspaper content, primarily through their mobile phones, and when they read. They peak early in the morning and are more consistent
throughout the day, while Baby Boomers peak in both the morning and again after dinner when reading news content. And again, just because millennials read mostly on their phones doesn’t mean they’re not reading print as well. The study found more than half of all millennial newspaper readers also read news in print — from 57 per cent of all phone readers to 66 per cent of all tablet readers. Business decision-makers are news junkies, with the highest percentage of readership throughout the day across all platforms, again peaking in the morning and after dinner. “Both print and digital newspaper sources play a unique and distinct role in the lives of Canadians,” said Claude Heimann, the president of Totum Research, which conducted the study. “Readers start their day with the comprehensive and in-depth reporting of a print newspaper and stay up-to-date on breaking news with digital as the day progresses.” As Bob Cox, the chair of News Media Canada, said: “Given heightened levels of global mistrust, we’re seeing a clear and continued affinity for the reliable reporting that newspapers provide. Newspapers continue to be the go-to source for credible, trusted and independent news, in both print and digital formats.” And, unlike an urban legend, that’s something you can rely on.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
CHANGING FROM BOTTOM UP
GET RANGERS IN WELLS GRAY Editor: We have been local tourists in Clearwater for almost two weeks and have entered the wonderful Wells Gray Park to hike and explore every day. It is a great shame that in spite of Wells Grey being one of the largest parks in B.C. and a lucrative draw for huge numbers of tourists, international and local, there are no park rangers. What a missed opportunity to educate people and protect the flora and fauna of our parks. It was disappointing to find out Trophy Mountain was closed for the past two weeks due to the failure of the Kamloops office to send out a team to assess the status of the grizzly bear feeding on the glacier lilies in the alpine. Of course we are in favour of the bear being allowed to feed without the disturbance of tourists, but to not even send staff to check up on the situation for more than two weeks during prime tourist and hiking time is in need of an explanation by parks administration. Much-needed rangers on site could have addressed this situation in an ongoing manner to the benefit of all, including the bear. It could have been an opportunity to educate the public about bear behaviour instead of sending away disappointed and angry people that I heard complaining to the harried Clearwater Information Centre staff, who do a remarkable job of trying to address the needs of everyone. Why are they left to explain what should be a ranger’s role? I know very well that our parks are underfunded, but still it was an eye-opener to spend so much time in this popular park and not see any park officials. I support introducing pay parking and/or entrance fees to get money into our parks so they can be better managed and protected. People in this area need jobs. Another local mill has just shut down. What better way to provide jobs than in the park? Shelley Mathews, Kamloops
Editor: After reading that Kamloops Coun. Arjun Singh will be running on a promise to adhere to the Paris climate accord (‘Singh stakes seat on climate change stance,’ June 28), I wondered how governments can expect us to believe they can, or will, do something about the climate when it usually involves us paying more in taxes with nice, comfortable-sounding names, like carbon tax. Ninety-two per cent of this will be put on our backs, with industry on the hook for eight per cent. Certain big polluters somehow don’t need to pay. Fourteen years ago, the B.C. Liberals introduced the carbon tax. That money now goes into general revenue. I’m not aware of it having any effect on the climate thus far. The federal Liberals are running for re-election on a climate emergency platform. Again, whether you believe there is
an actual emergency or not is beside the point. My point is, can we believe any government can have any effect on the global climate? When I toss a tiny piece of plastic into the garbage, I imagine this tiny piece becomes something formidable when multiplied by seven billion. Whichever party is elected in October will be faced with attempting to help us clean up our consumer-waste issues. Sending it to Asia, then lecturing those countries on the climate won’t help anything. I joined — then left — Greenpeace many years ago, not because I don’t care about the planet, but because I saw a willful blindness of environmentalists to the welfare of ordinary people. I can’t afford to drive electric cars, but I did build a straw bale house, of which I am extremely proud. There are, sadly, only a handful of these in the Kamloops area, in spite of
KUDOS TO COUNCIL FOR PARIS COMMITMENT Editor: Re: (‘Singh stakes seat on climate change stance,’ June 28): I applaud Kamloops council for passing Coun. Arjun Singh’s motion to align our city with the global efforts to maintain a 1.5 C temperature increase as set out and agreed to in the Paris Agreement. The disasterous effects we humans have made on this planet can
no longer be ignored. We are now living with the consequences of our actions (heat waves, drought, wildfires, flooding, loss of biodiversity, etc.) and they will only become more harsh, unpleasant and deadly without making big adjustments quickly. Our city leaders (elected and hired) have done an excellent job over the years, using foresight and taking pre-emptive measures
when necessary. We can and will have a prosperous economy if we allow ourselves to let go of our old and harmful (addictive) ways and embrace a new and healthy way of living. Thank you, council, for taking this bold step toward ensuring the health of our community and our world now and into the future. Deb Alore Kamloops
TALK BACK Q&A: kamloopsthisweek.com We asked: The provincial government wants your opinion on time changes. Which system do you prefer?
people expressing interest in this recyclable, sustainable building method. We all need to keep open minds, which becomes increasingly difficult as we all fall into step with the climate evangelicals. Each of us can be the difference in cleaning up our planet, not someone else, somewhere else. I see the solutions to be bottom up, not top down. The federal Liberals have sadly proven that talk is cheap. It has become difficult to believe their version of dealing with global warming, with more taxes and more hot air — but I fear nothing will change except the excuses. If each person made one small change — stop throwing garbage out of the car, start composting discarded food, read up on subjects we are not informed about — we can make a difference. Don’t wait for the politicians. Ken Wells Kamloops

Parents will be required to report the status of their children’s immunization records DR. JASPAL SARAO•DR. CHANDANJIT SRA GENERAL PRACTITIONER PROVIDING PREVENTATIVE, in the new school year.

“The way to avoid these diseases, which exist in our world, and which are coming to B.C. whether we like it or not, is to be immunized. And that’s the case we have to make.” He said mandatory reporting of vaccinations will help public health officials and school staff identify those who have not been immunized and those who are underimmunized, noting mandatory reporting increases public health’s ability to respond during an outbreak, as it allows health officials to quickly identify those who are not immunized or under-immunized. Dix said most parents are already in compliance with the requirement and will not need to do anything further when the new school year starts in September. Parents or guardians with an incomplete or missing record will be contacted by public health on how to provide their child’s immunization information if it is needed. They will also receive information on upcoming school-based or community health clinics where their child can receive immunizations if they require them. “For parents out there who aren’t sure, at this moment, whether their vaccinations are up to date, they also don’t need to worry because the public health system is going to reach out to them,” Education Minister Rob Fleming said. “They don’t have to ask or request for records unless they are actually contacted by the health system. Public health officials will review school enrolment records in late August and into October to match them against immunization records for kindergarten to Grade 12 students that are now in the provincial immunization registry. Dix said the goal during the first year of the reporting requirement is to help parents get their children up to date on immunizations by the end of the school year. Asked by KTW why the province has not followed the lead of states like New York,
which requires the children be vaccinated if they are to attend school, Dix said the provincial government prefers the education approach in attempting to achieve a provincewide 95 per cent herd immunity rate, the point at which the population at large — even non-vaccinated people — are protected from a virus or bacteria. In mid-June, lawmakers in New York removed religious beliefs from the list of accepted reasons to be exempted from vaccinations. The only exemptions now allowed in the Empire State are medical-related, requiring documentation from state-certified doctor confirming a child has a specific health condition for which a vaccine may be harmful. Dix said the mandatory reporting system was recommended during significant outbreaks in 2010 and 2014 by Dr. Perry Kendall, the then-provincial health officer, noting Ontario and other provinces use similar systems and have experienced success in increased vaccination numbers. “We think that approach works, that that approach doesn’t make this a debate between the small, small percentage of people who oppose immunization for the reasons that they do and the rest of us,” Dix said. “But it addresses the real problem, which is increasing the immunity of the population by engaging with those who are behind in their immunization or have questions.” Dix said be believes his NDP government’s plan is the preferred path. “One way is the path of court cases and promoting views that are not healthy for people and the other is the way we are going, which is to improve the public health of citizens.” B.C.’s childhood immunization program includes coverage for myriad diseases, including measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, pertussis, polio, HPV, varicella, diphtheria, influenza, meningococcal disease and hepatitis.

TAKING OFF AGAIN AT KAMLOOPS AIRPORT
As part of this year’s 80th anniversary of Kamloops Airport, officials gathered on Tuesday for a rededication of the iconic CF-5 Freedom Fighter monument, gifted to the airport by Kamloops 419 Squadron in 1995 to mark the strong connection between the City of Kamloops, Kamloops Airport and the squadron, a relationship that dates from 1941. Recently, the aircraft was refurbished and moved to a new permanent home at the traffic circle near the entrance to the airport. From the monument, visitors can walk to and from the terminal building via Fulton Field Trail, also newly installed.
Police seek witnesses to stabbing Kamloops Mounties are seeking witnesses to a stabbing on Monday night that sent a man to Royal Inland Hospital with serious, but nonlife-threatening, injuries. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a 54-year-old man was stabbed at the corner of Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue downtown at 10 p.m., just before the Canada Day fireworks display began. Shelkie said witnesses were able to give police details of the altercation and of the suspect, noting it appears the two people involved know each other. Shelkie said police have identified a person of interest, but are also seeking any other witnesses, who are asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222TIPS (8477).

a customer with his vehicle outside a North Shore pub. According to police, a man and woman left the Rockin’ Firkin Pub on Sydney Avenue on June 15 without paying their bill and a customer followed them out to the parking lot to tell them they needed to pay before leaving. “The male suspect became verbally confrontational, got into his vehicle and sped towards the customer, striking him,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said, adding the suspect then drove off. The victim sustained serious, but non-life threatening, injuries and was taken to Royal Inland Hospital. The suspect is described as a white man in his 50s or 60s, with balding, short hair and scruffy facial hair.
He was wearing a red Adidas track suit, two watches on his left wrist and multiple rings on his fingers. His female passenger is described as white, in her 30s and standing about 5-foot-8. She had long, blond hair worn in a bun. She was wearing jean shorts, a black long-sleeved shirt and a black baseball cap. The suspect vehicle is a red car. Anybody who can identify either the man, woman or the vehicle is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477. GUILTY VERDICT A South Okanagan man has been found guilty of sexually assaulting a Kamloops woman two years ago during a meeting prior to a poten-
tial erotic photo shoot. Richard Skoyen of Penticton was convicted of sexual assault in connection with an incident that occurred in Merritt on July 7, 2017. Skoyen, from Penticton, was introduced to the Kamloops woman by a photographer who takes erotic shots. The woman, whose name is protected by a court-ordered ban on publication, had asked the photographer to set her up with a man for a photo shoot. The accused and the complainant discussed doing a shoot together as well as how far they were willing to take things sexually, court heard. Upon meeting in person, the woman said Skoyen crossed her line of consent almost immediately, forcing intercourse on her. Through tears on the witness stand, she said he called her names and threatened to take mat-
ters even further. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan is expected to fix a date for sentencing in July. CROWN APPEALING A new court date has been set for a man who pleaded guilty to using telecommunications to arrange a sexual offence against a child. Court heard 36-yearold Justin Harvey McGowan met a 13-yearold girl last September through the online app Whisper, which allows users to post anonymously, and sent the young teen cash, pizza and clothing in exchange for a nude photo. He was sentenced in March for the conviction. The Crown is appealing the mandatory minimum six months sentence McGowan was handed in March. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo originally sought a jail term of 12 to 18 months.

Interfor says it’s open to working with Simpcw
Fossil beds re-open
MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Nearly seven years after the provincial government declared the McAbee Fossil Beds east of Cache Creek a heritage site and closed the beds to the public, the site is welcoming visitors once again. The Bonaparte Indian Band holds title to the site. The McAbee Fossil Beds are part of a former lake bed that was deposited more than 50-million years ago. Over time, insects, leaves, feathers, pollen and more sank to the lake bed, where they were covered by layers of fine silt and preserved as fossils. The site is recognized as containing the province’s most diverse array of plants and insects from the Eocene Epoch. Deb Arnott, general manager of Community Futures Sun Country, was one of the founders of the McAbee Working Group in April 2016, which was composed of area volunteers attempting to see the McAbee site developed and re-opened. The group received funding to have a business plan created and complete some work at the site. Due to a number of factors — including the 2017 wildfires — work was delayed, but Arnott said that the site is ready to receive visitors who want to learn more about its 53-millionyear-old fossils and Indigenous history. Two youth from the Bonaparte Indian Band have been working at the site and are there to greet visitors, show them around the site on newly constructed trails, explain its history and answer questions. Arnott said they will also be asking for feedback from visitors. The site — which is open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays and has no admission fee — is of cultural and historic importance to Indigenous people.

Interfor says it wants to explore various forest stewardship and partnership opportunities with the Simpcw First Nation, which is opposing its proposed $60-million purchase of Canfor’s timber rights. Canfor will close its sawmill in Vavenby, near Clearwater, this month. Its proposed sale of timber rights for the operation to Interfor, which intends to use that product at its Adams Lake sawmill, requires approval from the provincial government. Simpcw Chief Shelly Loring has said the transaction will not go forward unless the band has a role in management of the area forests. Ric Slaco, Interfor’s vice-president and chief forester, told KTW the company recognizes the band has interests in the region and has reached out, expressing a desire to wants to engage in talks. Slaco said he expects Interfor and the band will meet “sometime in the near future.” He said the company doesn’t want to focus on any one particular option at this point, noting possibilities such
as joint decision-making and economic opportunities for the Simpcw’s forestry development business as areas of discussion. “We’d like to be open-minded in terms of what that might be and hear from them directly in terms of how this decision may be able to go forward in a way that make sense to both parties,” Slaco said. Loring said Canfor’s timber rights are in the heart of the First Nation’s territory and Simpcw has consistently expressed its focus on acquiring tenure to grow its forestry operations, including in a meeting with Forests Minister Doug Donaldson in May. According to Slaco, Interfor was not able to discuss the plan for the tenure acquisition with third parties ahead of the announcement because of a confidentiality agreement. He said the province has a role to play in consulting with First Nations regarding their interests before proceeding with approving the transaction. “We have offered to assist and be a part of those discussions,” he said. Interfor expects a decision on the acquisition to be made by government sometime in August, Slaco said.
Residents organize to oppose asbestos VALLEYVIEW GROUP HAS CONCERNS ABOUT MATERIAL GOING INTO RESOURCE CENTRE JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A group of Valleyview residents has organized to state its concern with the Kamloops Resource Recovery Centre — dust, traffic, growth and the potential acceptance of asbestos-containing materials. Francesca Brar, chair of the Valleyview Community Association’s Owl Road landfill subcommittee, said the group of six began meeting in May. “In principle, it just seems odd that there’s a landfill in a residential neighbourhood,” Brar told KTW. Residents had expressed concerns about the city-run facility at 400 Owl Rd. following a city neighbourhood meeting, prompting them to organize for research purposes. Residents want to better understand history of the facility, the city’s intent, what’s happening at the landfill, future plans and possible impacts on the neighbourhood. The centre is the former Owl Road dump, a privately-owned landfill the city purchased from Daniel Ambrosi in 2016. Cost of purchasing the property and establishing the resource recovery centre was about $10 million. Shortly after the recent meeting between the city and the Valleyview Community Association, the group learned the city is also looking to potentially expand the facility to

accept asbestos-containing materials. “With the asbestos, we are very clear it’s a big no,” Brar said. The development community currently takes asbestos-containing materials to the Mission Flats landfill. However, the city expects the area at Mission Flats to reach capacity within 18 months and has identified the Kamloops Resource Recovery Centre as a potential solution. During a recent city committee meeting, it was noted the Kamloops Resource Recovery Centre would be
more cost-efficient and have enough space to accept such waste for up to 15 years. Alternatively, a short-term solution could be found for up to eight years on Mission Flats road at a cost of $100,000 more that the Kamloops Resource Recovery Centre option. The city said materials containing asbestos are contained, controlled, bagged and buried, with handling of the material, abatement, hauling and landfilling all regulated. However, Brar said, it’s not enough,
arguing the materials are toxic and hazardous. “In principle, why are you doing it in a landfill that should have never been in a residential area?” she asked. A Change.org petition online to reject asbestos at the Owl Road Landfill has attracted about 300 names. Brar said the group has yet to sit down with the city to hash out concerns, but gave kudos to staff for providing a recent tour of the facility and for being open to talk.

month of the
Catherine Turnbull Spence What piece of art did you buy
Well - first of all I did not really buy this piece - I only was able to receive it after completing 100 volunteer hours!! So that tells you how much I really liked it. The title of my painting is ‘Oh Those Warm Winds!’ I felt an attachment to it as soon as I saw it.
What organization(s) did you volunteer with to pay for your art
The organizations I volunteered for were: Kids of Steele, Special Olympics, X Fest, Art Council and People in Motion.
What do you like best about the organizations you volunteered for
I enjoyed each organization I volunteered for. It was an opportunity for me to meet new people and contribute to our community. Even though I was giving to others, it was also a selffulfilling experience. One feels a sense of satisfaction when they give. The people I
interacted with were always welcoming. Participating as a volunteer opened up my eyes and heart to many organizations, and their work, that I would not otherwise have had the opportunity to experience.
What do you like best about your artwork
Art is all about the feeling it invokes in the beholder. This piece stirred up past memories within me - of fun, being carefree, and prairie winds; it also touched on my present thoughts of trees and how they are symbolic of several areas in my life. I actually think part of the familiarity with this piece was that it reminded me of a picture I would see in a Dr. Zeus book. The colors are fun and sparkly and the image is real but imaginative.
What do you like about the timeraiser event
I love the uniqueness of this event. The Timeraiser concept benefits so many - and we all have fun doing it! (although there can be some very competitive bidding!) It benefits the volunteer organizations because they receive more exposure around their cause and they secure a new pool of volunteers. It benefits the art community because their art is displayed and more people are able to appreciate it. (I have been so impressed with the quality of art at this event). And it benefits the participants because it gives them an opportunity to become more involved in their community - to experience the satisfaction of giving and building new relationships. And it benefits the community of Kamloops as it helps support organizations that provide a valuable service to the people that live here. Thank you to the organizers of this event - your time enriches many.

LAYING DOWN NEW LANES IN THE ALLEYS AT FALCON TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com
Joel Loehr didn’t intend for Falcon Lanes to become the last bowling alley in Kamloops, but that’s what happened when Bowlertime closed its doors on the North Shore last year. But now that Falcon Lanes is the sole destination for bowlers, Loehr and brother Jarett are in the midst of an upgrade that will ensure players get the best experience at the Valleyview location. New synthetic, acrylic lanes are being installed this week, placed on top of the existing lanes. Falcon Lanes should reopen this Thursday. The lanes being replaced were original to the business and date back to the 1970s. Loehr said that there were a number of factors involved in the decision to undertake the upgrades. “We’re now at that stage, with the other centre in town closing, we noticed a dramatic increase in our business,” he
said. “A number of their league players, approximately 100 or so, came to us after their place closed. “And so we’ve had that increase in income, increase in interest, but also more and more people complaining about the quality of the lanes.”
Falcon Lanes will be hosting the national Senior Games this year and Loehr said having the new lanes in place for that event was a priority. “Now that we’re getting this in, we can promote ourselves as a high-quality centre,” he said. “It’s similar to a golf course. If somebody doesn’t take care of the lanes, or the fairways and all that, then people aren’t going to come back and bowl again and again and again.” Falcon Lanes features both five-pin and 10-pin games. On lanes that allow for 10-pin bowling, the new synthetic floors needed to be even thicker to allow for larger, heavier balls to land. Loehr grew up bowling at Falcon Lanes in the 1970s and 1980s. Although he took some time away from the sport in his 20s, when he saw the business was for sale in 2006, he began working with his brother to get funding in place for the purchase. To keep up date on events at Falcon Lanes, including confirmation about when it will re-open, visit the bowling alley’s website at falconlanes.ca.

P
eople ask if I think decriminalization of illicit drugs is the way to go. I say yes. Just look at how far prohibition of alcohol did not get us. We live in the Dark Ages about addictive disease and hold misguided beliefs about drugs and their use. All our thoughts
regarding drugs are either formed by society or marketing boards. Just look at Reefer Madness. During that era, society (meaning us) once believed smoking marijuana drove teenagers into committing murderous rampages. This was cleverly marketed to society (again us). It was a lie about how crazy THC could make us and,
as such, it became a strictly held belief. Big Pharma marketed Valium to doctors as “mother’s little helper,” making claims it was the best new medication to allow stressed women to cope. They said it was not addictive, so back then, we as a whole (again, meaning us in society) believed this horrible lie and many women became addicted to drugs.

the need to criminalize drugs (actually, drugs are not criminalized. It is the addict, the one who is using, who is criminalized). If you believe addicts should be thrown into jail, remember again the prohibition of alcohol. Had you been living back then, and imbibing, you would have been deemed as a lawbreaking, misguided soul. Based on your knowledge today, do you think you and millions of others who enjoy a glass of wine or jug of beer should be punished? Prohibition of alcohol did not stop its use. It only added more costs. Imagine how much money could be spent on treatment, prevention and help if policing and court costs weren’t required? The Portugal model of decriminalization is a stellar example. People often fear drug use will escalate with decriminalization. What research has shown is that illicit drug use actually decreased in that country. Even with the legalization of marijuana, initial reports show that THC consumption has actually gone down. The next time we get on the bandwagon about how harmful legalization can be, remember how misguided we all were when we (as a society) believed such lies and propaganda as we did back then. Despite how different we think, we are from the eras of Reefer Madness and alcohol prohibition.

Cigarettes are another example of how blind we were. Tobacco companies with great advertising and political power made us believe smoking was good — not only good, but great — for our health. We were told smoking would calm our nerves. I remember being allowed to smoke in my high school class. It was guidance class, one deemed to be socially progressive. Remember airlines and the smoking sections in the rear of the planes? How we laugh at that now. We as a society think we’re so smart, but remember this when we talk about the criminalization of drugs. Oxycontin is a biggie. It was touted by Big Pharma as having less abuse potential than other heavy narcotic drugs out there. We were fooled into believing that. I ask myself who allowed this in the first place because Big Pharma had to get approval somewhere to get this drug into us. Now millions of people turn to street drugs and die of fentanyl overdoses every day. But before you blame Big Pharma, government, doctors and tobacco companies, remember that we are the ones who believed such things as Reefer Madness and we are the ones who willingly smoked (just look at the current vaping craze which people engage in right now).

Strangely shaped clouds that appeared during stormy weather in Kamloops last month are turning heads. The clouds, known as mammatus clouds, were spotted on June 19, around the same time as a thunder and lightning moved through the region. While their shape draws eyes, Environment Canada meteorologist Armel Castellan said they are often associated with severe storms all over the world. The shapes are caused by the instability and convection of violent vertical movements happening
above the cloud, Castellan said. “They’re really indicative of downdrafts in the cloud,” he explained. The clouds got their name based off the Latin word “mamma,” which means udder or breast. They can be as large as three kilometres wide or as small as 1.5 kilometres and usually appear in the sky just before or after heavy downpour or strong winds. “They’re a pretty magical little interlude in a severe thunderstorm element, which is fast moving – so it’s like a little pause moment,” Castellan said.

The president of Trans Mountain expects to have shovels in the ground in Kamloops by mid-September following a second federal approval of the pipeline twinning project. Ian Anderson was in Kamloops on Friday, updating staff at the local terminal site following stops in Calgary, Edmonton and Burnaby. “I think they’re anxious to see us get started and anxious to get back to work,” Anderson said. At the moment, Trans Mountain is waiting on the National Energy Board (NEB) to reaffirm the approvals it gave the company for satisfying pre-construction conditions during the first round of approvals, before the federal Court ordered a review of marine

protection measures and more consultations with First Nations along the pipeline route. “The NEB has a process to undertake. Over the coming weeks and once that’s completed, we’ll be ready to hit the ground again,” Anderson said, noting the estimated start date hinges on this NEB process not hitting any snags.
Local construction this fall is expected to begin with the portion of the route through the city near Kamloops Airport and the company’s Kamloops Terminal west of Pineview Valley, as well as underneath the Thompson River, Anderson told KTW. The existing pipeline river crossing will be replaced later this year and into early 2020, which is when the new twinned crossing will be installed as well, he said. Key river crossings are regularly replaced. Anderson said coverage at the bottom of the Thompson River bed has eroded, so the replaced pipe will be placed deeper. “It’s not about pipeline integrity, it’s more about the integrity of the river bottom,” he said, noting the pipeline will likely be installed between 20 and 30 feet below the riverbed. Construction is expected to bring up to 600 workers to Kamloops for 12 to 18
months. Anderson said they will be put up in hotels and motels, which the general contractor will co-ordinate. Kamloops subcontractors will be hired and Anderson hopes about one-third of the workforce will come from the local area. “It’s going to be dependent upon what the contractor availability is,” he said. The 1,150-kilometre pipeline will be fully twinned from Edmonton to Burnaby, with 28 kilometres of the pipeline running through Kamloops. The route follows 73 per cent of the existing pipeline. In Kamloops, deviations occur to bypass Westsyde residences, utilizing an existing Telus right-of-way in the Lac du Bois area above Westsyde, in addition to the east side of Tranquille Road and around Jacko Lake south of Aberdeen.

Jacko Lake route remains in discussions From A18
During NEB hearings last year, the Stk’emlúpsemc te Secwepemc Nation (SSN) — consisting of the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn First Nations — asked that the pipeline path that runs through Jacko Lake be re-routed. Jacko Lake is also known as Pipsell, a sacred area for the SSN, and is also subject of an SSN title claim, initiated in 2015 during the proposed Ajax mine application. In January 2016, the provincial government filed a response to the SSN claim, saying it will “vigorously oppose” the claim. Anderson said the geology of alternative routes in the area are far less workable, noting Trans Mountain still intends to move ahead with construction along the existing route. He said SSN is aware of this decision, adding the two sides are in discussion. The company is trying to address the concerns through environmental monitoring and archeological work with the bands and changing construction techniques to bypass sensitive areas. Trans Mountain has faced significant hurdles with its pipeline twinning project, including fierce opposition from B.C.’s NDP provin-
cial government, due to potential impacts on marine life and what was considered to be a lack of meaningful consultation with First Nations. Anderson said he understands the issues surrounding the pipeline. “We hope to be able to get back to work and demonstrate to all affected parties that we can do it [the project] well, that we can deliver a benefit to Canadians and the local communities that we touch,” he said. ECONOMIC BENEFITS TO COME FROM PIPELINE Anderson said property taxes for the City of Kamloops will likely double with a twinned pipeline. “We’ll be paying upwards of $3 million a year to the city, whereas today it’s about half that,” he said. The city will also receive a community benefits agreement of a one-time $750,000 payment. Tk’emlups te Secwepemc First Nation has signed a $3-million community-benefits agreement with the pipeline company. Anderson said the band’s agreement includes procurement, contracting and training commitments in addition to immediate and longterm financial compensation.
This map shows the route of the 1,150-kilometre Trans Mountain pipeline, with the various segments separated to show the distance the pipeline crosses in various municipalities regional districts and counties. The pipeline crosses through 28.4 kilometres of the City of Kamloops. The twinning project will include about 980 km of new pipeline, with 73 per cent of the route using the existing right-of-way, 16 per cent following other linear infrastructure and 11 per cent being new right-of-way.
Can Investors Achieve 5% to 8% Returns? At the time of writing, a 10-year Government of Canada Bond only yields 1.55% and the economy appears to be in the late stages of the business cycle. Given this, where can investors turn and what are some strategies to consider? One opportunity is Private Debt (PD) that can potentially yield 5-8%. What is Private Debt? Regulatory changes have forced banks to scale back their lending creating a void and an opportunity for other lenders to attain attractive returns. Private debts are privately negotiated loans to companies or individuals with a comprehensive set of covenants (terms and conditions) that typically have penalties and remedies should non-compliance occur. Benefits of Private Debt 1. Lenders tend to rely on a variety of risk controls through covenants, collateral and a direct relationship with the borrower. Often, frequent detailed and timely reporting is required to monitor performance. Lower default rates historically due to strong covenants and other safeguards. 2. A higher yield than offered by similarly rated public debt to compensate for illiquidity. 3. Most private debts are not priced daily which can result in lower correlation and volatility compared
4.
5.
to stocks and bonds as it does not zigzag at the same time. Most loans are 1-3 years and do not carry as much interest rate risk when compared to a traditional bond fund which is closer to 7 years duration. Many investors believe private debt is represented by distressed debt and high yield bonds which are relatively risky when compared to public investment grade bonds. However, in 2016, the American Society of Actuaries concluded that PD exhibits lower losses than public bonds.
Risks of Private Debt 1. Loans tend to be illiquid as they do not trade daily. Redeeming investors often have to wait 3-12 months to get their capital back. In times where liquidity is reduced, investments may trade at a significant discount as fewer buyers may exist. 2. Despite that most PD loans have security or collateral, these investments are not 100% guaranteed and there can be a wide variance in risk between strategies. Some of the key variables to consider are the 5Cs of Credit: character (credit history/bureau), capacity (ability to repay), capital (down payment), collateral (property, inventory, equipment, etc.) and conditions (rates, terms, etc.). 3. There can be a lack of transparency because these companies may not list on exchanges and they are not regulated in the same way and not required to publicly disclose all their business dealings. 4. Because there is wide dispersion between the risk and returns of each strategy, it is best to work with an experienced firm that has been through various economic cycles and has boots on the ground.
Lower Risk • Private Mortgage – residential or commercial • Direct Lending- loans backed by real assets • Senior Secured Loans- secured against assets with clean title • Asset Backed Lending- loans & lines of credit secured by equipment, inventory, etc. • Supply Chain Financing- lender buys account receivables at a discount • Mezzanine Debt- debt that can be converted to equity upon non-performance • Distressed Debt- companies experiencing default or bankruptcy Higher Risk Who Invests in Private Debt? Although mostly an institutional investor base (Pension funds, Foundations, Insurance companies and Endowments), new structures are providing greater access to retail investors. These types of investments are typically available to accredited investors that need to meet a certain level of income, net worth or investable assets. We consider private debt an alternative to income or bond strategies. We believe private debt with yields between 5%-8% have many benefits as well as considerable risks but overall is under-utilized. Carefully selected, PD can enhance diversification and smooth returns. Because many investors prefer liquidity, we encourage other parts of their portfolio remain accessible. We encourage investors to consult an experienced team that specializes in the alternative and private debt space. Until next time... Invest Well. Live Well.

City exploring business of regional licensing JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops is working on a new bylaw to co-ordinate business
licensing with other communities in the region.
The proposed intercommunity business licence (ICBL) aims

to reduce red tape by eliminating paperwork and reducing fees for businesses working in multiple communities. City of Kamloops planning and development manager Rod Martin explained that a plumber who works in Kamloops, for example, technically requires a business licence to work in neighbouring Sun Peaks, on the Tk’emlups te Secwépemc reserve or in communities like Ashcroft, Cache Creek or Clearwater. Under the proposed structure, that same plumber would pay a typical business licence fee in the community in which he or she is based, then pay an
extra fee (which has yet to be determined) to work in communities that have signed on to the partnership. The city is in talks with Ashcroft, Cache Creek, Clinton, Barriere, Sun Peaks, TTS, Lytton, Clearwater, Merritt, Chase, Lillooet and Logan Lake. “It’s basically to try and simplify the whole process for small businesses,” Martin said, noting the current process makes it difficult for businesses to comply. The province analyzed the region’s 2017 business licence data and determined only six per cent of mobile businesses purchased
business licences in at least two communities. “It is expected that the simplicity of applying for one ICBL at a relatively affordable rate should increase compliance and encourage businesses to fulfill other licensing requirements,” a report to the city’s development and sustainability committee states. Fifteen partnerships of this kind exist in other areas of the province, in more than 90 communities. A report is expected to come to council this fall with the goal for the bylaw to be in place by January 2020, at which time a two-year pilot program would be initiated.
Walsh concerned about rules reducing housing options JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops councillor is raising alarms over impending changes to secondary suite enforcement rules. In an updated policy, which is expected to go to council in July, the city is planning to decrease the number of complaints required that could lead to landlords having to decommission or legalize an illegal suite from two to one, with discretion from staff. The old rules, as set out in the Rooming House and Illegal Secondary Suite Enforcement Policy, required two separate written complaints to come from within 150 metres of the property within a year. The new rules propose the one complaint from within the “neighbourhood.” “We’re making it easier to shut them [illegal suites] down,” Coun. Denis Walsh said. BC Assessment has identified about 3,000 residential suites in the city, with only a fraction of them legal. Last week, council

gave the green light to zoning and business licensing amendments that will allow suites in more areas of the city and charge business license fees to landlords who do not live in the home being rented. The city has said it will not proactively enforce the many illegal suites already in existence but will address them on a complaint basis. As a result, Walsh said he is concerned the city could wind up negatively impacting its rental housing stock, noting changes to secondary suite rules are intended to do the opposite. “The last thing we want to do is reduce the housing options,” Walsh said. City community planning manager Jason Locke said the previous policy is outdated, having last been tweaked in the
1990s, and new rules will streamline the process for the city to address potential life safety issues related to illegal suites. “Put yourself in the shoes of the city,” Locke said. “Do you want to wait for two complaints or do you want to take action right away?” Locke doesn’t expect more or fewer complaints to be made as a result, noting the city will continue to vet the complaints it receives. The city first contacts the complainant and tries to get the problem worked out among the parties. If that fails, the city takes action. Potential issues for landlords required to legalize or decommission suites include costs and updates to the building code. While Locke said he understands potential concerns from landlords, he said the city’s primary priority is safety. “We also have to think about the folks that are renting these places, as well,” he said. The city will also be conducting an awareness campaign and creating a suite registry to encourage legal suites.

KTW FILE PHOTO Kally King, seen here playing for the NorKam Saints in 2016, has been selected to play for Canada against the U.S. and England at the Tri-Nations Cup later this month in Leicestershire, England.
King making strides toward Rugby World Cup MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
K
ally King has lofty goals. “Mostly, I want to save the planet, obviously,” King, who is studying natural resource conservation at UBC, said with a laugh. Perhaps big dreams are part of the reason the speed demon from Kamloops is setting a pace that may allow her to reach the 2021 Women’s Rugby World Cup in New Zealand. King, a rookie starter on the wing last season for the UBC Thunderbirds, was named to Canada’s roster for the TriNations Cup, which will run from July 20 to July 28 at Loughborough University in Leicestershire, England. The tournament, which will feature under-20 teams from Canada, England and
the U.S., doubles as a talent ID camp for the 2021 World Cup. “I was honoured to be one of 25 people in the country to be picked,” King said. “I’m very honoured to be chosen.” King began playing rugby in Grade 8 at Brock Middle School. She made the switch to NorKam secondary in Grade 9 and was noticed quickly by head coach Sue Kabotoff. “Coach threw me in and then she was like, ‘Oh, you’re fast,” King said. Canada’s bronze-medal victory in women’s rugby sevens at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio spawned unprecedented popularity for the sport across the nation. “It’s kind of mind-blowing how much it’s increased,” King said. The senior women’s sevens team’s success inspired King, whose impressive performances for NorKam and
25th Annual PROGRESS
Thompson Okanagan Rugby Alliance put her on the national-team radar. The 2018 NorKam secondary graduate donned the Maple Leaf for the first time last year at the U18 Rugby Americas North Sevens Championship in Las Vegas. King scored two tries in the final to help Canada knock off the U.S. 33-5 and qualify for the Youth Olympic Games, which were held in October in Buenos Aires, Argentina. A collar bone injury derailed King’s path to South America. “I’ve always wanted to play for Canada,” King said. “It’s been my dream and it’s been kind of rough. I got cut from that team. I really wanted to make that team. That kind of pushed me.” King was invited to try out for the TriNations Cup roster in Victoria in May, along with about 40 of the top U20 players in the country. She was in the car with her mom when
an email from Rugby Canada confirmed her spot on the roster. “I looked at my mom and she’s like, ‘What happened?’” King said. “I was like, ‘I made the team,’ but we couldn’t tell anyone right away. “I wanted to tell everyone, like, look at me — I did it. But nobody could know.” Canada is slated to play the U.S. at 8 a.m. on July 24 and England at 8 a.m. on July 28, with matches expected to be streamed live online. “The U20 age group is a pivotal stepping stone for our national identified athletes, which you can see with the number of graduates currently in the senior women’s squad,” Canadian women’s under-20 coach Jack Hanratty said. Rugby Canada will announce streaming details when available. “I’m excited to pull on the Canada jersey,” King said.

Soccer Quest has plans to move into a new indoor facility in October, but owner/president Dave Spendlove said he is not yet permitted to reveal its location, citing a signed agreement. “It’s going to be central in the city,” Spendlove said. “We needed to find a bigger space. The space we have now is maxed out. We tried renting space at the KYSA [Kamloops Youth Soccer Association] dome. They wouldn’t allow us, so we decided to go for something bigger.”
Soccer Quest in the process of moving out of its indoor facility at 1224 8th St. The organization’s outdoor field complex, the Chief Louis/Pronto Soccer Field, is on Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve land, near the powwow grounds. The new heated, insulated, air-inflated dome will measure 255 feet by 120 feet and stand 38 feet high, with room for two junior fields or one seven- or eight-a-side adult pitch. Spendlove said money for the facility, worth more than $1 million, was raised through private investors, mostly parents of club athletes. The facility will feature a concession area, locker rooms
and washrooms, a pro shop and office, according to a Soccer Quest letter forwarded to KTW. Spendlove was asked about what appears to be an increasing rivalry with the KYSA, which bought the Kamloops Soccer Dome (313 Nishga Way) earlier this year. “We have tried to mend fences … we just do our own thing and just go from there,” Spendlove said. “The key to our success is our coaching staff. They’re not volunteers. These people work hard and get paid for it. “The success of our program in Kamloops has been phenomenal.”

BLAZERS SIGN DRAFT PICKS MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Dylan Ernst was feeling blue after the final session of the Kamloops Blazers’ spring development camp on June 2 at Brock Arena. The 15-year-old goaltender from Weyburn, Sask., seemed worried his performance in one scrimmage would hurt his standing with the team that picked him in Round 2, 28th overall, in the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft. “When I make those little mistakes, so many things go through my mind,” Ernst said. “I just feel like they have no faith in me anymore.” The Blazers proved their faith in Ernst by signing the 6-foot-1 goaltender last week. They also inked Saskatoon product Tye Spencer, drafted by Kamloops in Round 3
of the 2019 bantam draft. “Dylan is an athletic goaltender who has a presence in the net, along with the ability to make difficult saves look routine,” Blazers’ general manager Matt Bardsley said in a press release. “Tye is a dynamic forward who plays with good speed and is hungry to score goals.” Ernst played last season for the bantam AA Weyburn Red Wings, posting a 2.99 goals-against average and .918 save percentage. He will play next season for the Moose Jaw Generals of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey league. Kamloops has also signed defenceman Mats Lindgren, its seventh overall pick in this year’s draft. Forward Connor Levis, the Blazers’ other Round 1 selection, 20th overall, has not yet inked a contract with the WHL club.

Canadian stars bounced WIMBLEDON, England — Two of the biggest names in Canadian tennis remain locked in slumps after being bounced in the first round of Wimbledon on Tuesday. Denis Shapovalov of Richmond Hill, Ont., and Eugenie Bouchard of Westmount, Que., lost back-to-back matches on Court 14, part of an 0-3 day for Canadian players at the third Grand Slam of the season. The 29th-seeded Shapovalov lost 7-6 (0), 6-4, 6-3 to world No. 77 Ricardas Berankis of Lithuania, extending the Canadian’s losing streak to five matches. Shapovalov, who is 2-9 since a run to the Miami Open semifinals
in March, said he has to work on his mental game.. “I’m feeling amazing in practice. So it’s all mental right now,’’ Shapovalov said. “It’s all coming from inside me. And, unfortunately it’s not something anyone can fix but myself.’’ The 27th-ranked Shapovalov became the youngest player to break into the top 30 since 2005, but insisted he’s not putting too much pressure on himself to climb even further. “But something subconsciously is happening for sure, and it shows in the matches,’’ he said. “I’ll talk to (my team) a little bit, and maybe a psychologist. Maybe someone that’s been there in the past, felt these same things, just someone I can talk
to and open up. I think it can definitely help.’’ Shapovalov had 33 unforced errors and 40 winners. Berankis was steadier with 15 unforced errors and 25 winners. Meanwhile, Bouchard lost 6-3, 5-7, 8-6 to Tamara Zidansek of Slovenia. Bouchard, now ranked 79th in the world after reaching No. 5 following her run to the Wimbledon final in 2014, hasn’t won a match since February. No. 15 seed Milos Raonic of Thornhill, Ont., and No. 19 seed Felix Auger-Aliassime of Montreal — the two remaining Canadians in singles draws — will play secondround matches on Wednesday. — with files from the Associated Press

U.S. ADVANCES TO WORLD CUP FINAL ANNE PETERSON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
LYON, France — Alex Morgan celebrated her go-ahead goal with a cheeky tea-sipping motion and Alyssa Naeher stopped a late penalty kick to send the United States into the final at the Women’s World Cup with a 2-1 victory over England on Tuesday night. The top-ranked United States will face the winner of Wednesday’s semifinal between the Netherlands and Sweden in the Americans’ third straight appearance in the World Cup title match. Christen Press, who started in place of Megan Rapinoe, put the United States up early in the match but Ellen White’s goal tied it before 20 minutes had passed. Morgan’s sixth goal of the tournament came before the break — and on her 30th birthday. She hadn’t had a goal since she scored five in the team’s 13-0 rout of Thailand to open the tournament. It was also White’s sixth goal, but Morgan has the edge for the tournament’s Golden
Boot with three assists. White appeared to score her seventh in the 69th minute but video review determined she was offside — and the Americans in the crowd of 53,512 at Stade de Lyon roared. “I can’t even express how proud I am,’’ U.S. coach Jill Ellis said. “It was just such a great effort from everybody.’’ A video review went against the United States late in the game when it determined Becky Sauerbrunn had fouled White in the penalty area. England captain Steph Houghton’s penalty shot was smothered by a diving Naeher
in the 84th minute. It was the first penalty kick saved by a U.S. goalkeeper in regular time at the World Cup. At the final whistle, the team mobbed Naeher in front of the goal in celebration. Rapinoe, who had scored two goals in each of the last two games, did not play. U.S. Soccer did not give a reason for her absence. The top-ranked Americans have been to the semifinals of all eight World Cups, and they’ve won the trophy three times, more than any nation. The U.S. team’s lone loss in a World Cup title match
came to Japan in 2011. Third-ranked England went through to the semifinals in 2015, but fell to Japan before beating Germany in the thirdplace match for the Lionesses’ best finish in the tournament. The United States has won 11 straight World Cup matches and is undefeated in its last 16. With the quarterfinal victory in France, the Americans tied Norway’s record winning streak set over the 1995 and 1999 tournaments. The Americans have exuded confidence since arriving in France. After pouncing on Thailand 13-0 in the opener and celebrating each goal in the rout, they beat nemesis Sweden, the team that ousted the United States in the quarterfinals at the 2016 Olympics. And Rapinoe stuck a victorious pose in a 2-1 quarterfinal victory over France on Friday night in Paris. England started Carly Telford in goal instead of Karen Bardsley, who was out with a hamstring injury. Bardsley had shutouts in both of the team’s knockout round
matches. Telford started in the team’s group stage match against Argentina. England had shut out its last four opponents but the United States attacked early as expected — the Americans have scored within the first 15 minutes of all of their games in France. Press delivered first, scoring on a header off a long cross from Kelley O’Hara that sailed over Telford’s outstretched arm. It was Press’ first goal in France, and her second World Cup goal overall. Shortly thereafter, Beth Mead served the ball to White, who got between the U.S. centre backs for the finish to pull England even. White raised her hands to her face for her customary “glasses’’ celebration. The United States pulled ahead when Lindsey Horan found Morgan in front of the net for the header. It was Morgan’s 107th international goal, moving her into a tie for fifth on the U.S. career list with Michelle Akers. The United States leads the tournament field with 24 total goals.

VANCOUVER — Centre Tyler Motte is sticking with the Vancouver Canucks. The 24-year-old has signed a one-year, one-way deal worth US$975,000, the team announced on Tuesday. Motte put up 16 points in 74 games for Vancouver last season and the team extended
a qualifying offer to the fivefoot-10, 192-pound centre last week, ahead of free agency. “Tyler plays a physical, two-way game that complements our forward group,’’ Canucks general manager Jim Benning said in a release. “He’s strong on the forecheck, helps our penalty kill and showed
he can contribute offensively last year.’’ Originally drafted 121st overall by Chicago in 2013, the native of St. Clair, Minn., played for the Blackhawks and Columbus Blue Jackets before he was traded to the Canucks in February 2018. Vancouver has been
busy since the free agency period opened on Monday, adding defencemen Tyler Myers, Jordie Benn and Oscar Fantenberg to the roster. The team has also inked centre Tyler Graovac and goalie Zane McIntyre to two-way contracts. — Canadian Press

Iris Louise Hetherington (née Taylor) 1936 - 2019 Iris slipped peacefully away in the early hours of June 8, 2019 with her daughters at her side. Iris was born on the family farm outside of Richard, Saskatchewan on June 9, 1936 to George and Beatrice Taylor (Banks). She moved to New Westminster in her teens, where she met her future husband Robert while attending high school. She was the love of his life and they were married in New Westminster on June 28, 1957. Diverted from their Yellowstone Park honeymoon plans by a natural disaster, she mentioned how pretty she had thought Kamloops was. After many years of travelling to and from New Westminster to fish and vacation, the decision was made to move in 1963 and began raising their family of two daughters.
Tina spent many years as a seamstress at Tranquille. She enjoyed doing crafts of all kinds and was a longtime member of the White Cane Society. Tina is remembered for her strong love of family and friends and her commitment to her faith. A memorial will be held in September at the family plot on Little Mountain Cemetery in Chilliwack, BC. Please make donations to the charity of your choice in Tina’s name. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com
Following the celebration of life, we invite you to join us for a light lunch and an opportunity to share memories.

Success is failure turned inside out –
First Memorial Funeral Service
Gail was born in Fort Frances, Ontario, and she had fond memories of growing up there with her brothers and sisters, cousins and friends. She married Ed and they moved to BC. She was an LPN and worked for a time at the Overlander Extended Care Hospital in Kamloops. Her many hobbies included sewing, crocheting, knitting, bowling, square dancing, golfing and spending time with family and friends. She was a wonderful, kind and loving mother, always very generous and hospitable. She loved each and every one of her grandchildren and made time for all of them. Many card games were learned and played around grandmas table.
Special thanks to all the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village but particularly Bridgette, Laurie, Christie, Bonnie, Montana and Amy. Your kindness and obvious care for mom is greatly appreciated.
Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
Schoening Funeral Service
March 11, 1935 June 22, 2019
She was the guiding light that held the family through good times and bad, and is sorely missed by all who knew her.
When care is pressing down a bit,
You must not quit!
Gail (Mary) Delwo
We will remember her for her love of animals (cats, particularly), incredible knitting skills, enjoyment of flower gardening, homemade chocolates, a smile that would light up the room, sense of humour, her grace and quiet determination.
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,
It’s when things seem worst that
(250) 377-8225 While the price difference for a cremation with NO Service is similar at most funeral homes in Kamloops, First Memorial is proud to have facilities to accommodate all of your needs, whether you choose a Celebration of Life or a full Traditional service. We can do it all at First Memorial. Come talk to us and have a look around. You will be pleasantly surprised.
When funds are low and debts are high
EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Ralph Arthur Humphreys May 12, 1929- June 23, 2019
Ralph Arthur Humphreys passed away peacefully on June 23, 2019 at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops. Ralph was predeceased by his beloved wife Ethel, father Llewellyn, mother Allie and brother Ron. Ralph will be lovingly remembered by his sons Guy and Llew, grandchildren Ashley (Lukasz) Siemiatkowski and Reid (Brittany), longtime partner and best friend Beverly Davies and many nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends. Ralph was born on May 12, 1929 in Revelstoke to parents Llewellyn and Ailie (Aho) Humphreys and spent his younger years in Sicamous before moving to Kamloops in 1941. Ralph married Ethel Gustafson on June 28, 1952 and they shared a wonderful 30 years together. Raising their two boys, spending time with family at the Shuswap Lake and trips to Hawaii were also special to them. Although Ethel passed away many years ago Ralph remained devoted to her. Ralph’s greatest love was his family. Ralph always wanted to ensure “The Humphreys” legacy would continue for many generations and worked very hard to make that happen.
The family will always remember him for his dedication to them, his storytelling and great sense of humour. After high school, Ralph endeavoured on a long successful career at Canadian Pacific Railway. Ralph began at CPR as a wiper in Beevermouth, then progressed to fireman and finished his career as a locomotive engineer. Ralph spent the early years of his career chasing work all around BC in order to provide for his family; which we are forever grateful for. As a proud union member Ralph spent many years as the president of the Brotherhood of the Locomotive Engineers Union in Kamloops. When Ralph wasn’t working on the railway he enjoyed spending his time on the water fly fishing, his greatest passion. As time went on and Ralph retired, he explored many areas in the Chilcotin and Kamloops area searching for BC’s best fly fishing lakes. Ralph was able to share his passion with his brother Ron, sons Guy and Llew, and grandson Reid. There will be no service as per Ralph’s wishes, but a family gathering will be held this summer.
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?”
