RCMP defends actions of city officers
Federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor participates in training delivered by St. John Ambulance at the Boys and Girls Club in North Kamloops. The minister was in town on Thursday to announce the B.C. and Yukon chapter of the lifesaving organization has received $400,000 from the federal government to revamp its occupational health and safety training to include the use of Naloxone and artificial respiration. Several of the Boys and Girls Club staff have participated in St. John ambulance Naloxone training. MICHAEL POTESTIO/KTW
COMPLAINANTS SAY POLICE NEED DIVERSITY TRAINING FOLLOWING INCIDENTS MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Kamloops RCMP is defending how its officers handled two incidents in which complainants told Vancouver media outlets the detachment needs more diversity training. On July 6 at about 3 a.m., police responded to the Duchess Nightclub in North Kamloops, where Ashcroft man, Johnathan Hall, claimed he was assaulted and called the N-word — an incident his mother described as a hate crime that local Mounties did not take seriously. On June 16 at about 11:30 p.m., Ben Fulton, who is blind, ended up handcuffed and in the back of a police cruiser following an incident at a Valleyview gas station. Fulton said there was a confrontation with a clerk who told him his guide dog wasn’t allowed inside the store. Fulton said he believes officers’ actions show a lack of training on the part of the RCMP. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW the officers involved in both cases followed proper protocols. “In neither of these situations is it something where race or disability came in [to play],” Shelkie said, noting the detachment has heard criticism that officers didn’t handle the incidents appropriately.

Naloxone added to first-aid training MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
The B.C. and Yukon chapter of St. John Ambulance has received $400,000 from the federal government to revamp its occupational health and safety training to include the use of Naloxone and artificial respiration. Federal Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor was in Kamloops last Thursday to make the announcement and participate in training delivered by the lifesaving organization at the Boys and
NOW
Girls Club in North Kamloops. The new program will build upon St. John Ambulance’s existing occupational first-aid program, standardizing the act of administrating Naloxone in emergency first-aid training. Naloxone is a drug that temporarily reverses the effects of an overdose. “This means that every one of the nearly 40,000 people who take the first-aid courses in the province of Yukon and British Columbia every year will learn how to save a life by using Naloxone and giving artificial
respiration,” Petitpas Taylor told a crowd gathered at the John Todd Centre. Karen MacPherson, St. John Ambulance CEO for B.C. and Yukon, told KTW the money will be spent designing and developing the new curriculum for the program, which will have an online component. MacPherson said the occupational firstaid program is mandatory training at many work sites for the construction, mining and manufacturing sectors. See MINISTER, A6

Pushing for city composting program ics and scrap wood, then you’ll get to those waste targets,” De Candole said. Some Kamloops residents already compost in their backyards. However, de Candole said, a municipal program would allow residents to compost items not usually discarded in backyard composters, such as meat and oil. In addition, she said the program could reach those who live in apartments and restaurant owners, which she expects would contribute the most into a compost system. City of Kamloops environmental services supervisor Allan Michener said the city has in place the necessary infrastructure to collect organics, but added the challenge for the city is in what to do with the material once it is collected. That problem might be solved as the city reviews the way in which it manages its biosolids. “There’s an opportunity for us to combine efforts,” Michener said. Most of the biosolids management options include organics and yard waste. The city has whittled down its options to six, expecting multiple methods to be utilized in the future. They include windrow composting, liquefaction, thermal drying for sale as hog fuel, in-vessel composting, high-rate biomass pro-

A Kamloops resident has created an online petition for a municipal composting program, with plans to present support for the initiative to city council within the next couple of months. The petition was launched last week and had more than 600 supporters as of Tuesday. Addie de Candole said curbside organics collection — picking up of food scraps from homes and restaurants to be composted — has been floated at city hall, but she wants to put pressure on council to move the initiative forward. “Let’s get it done sooner than later,” de Candole said. “The more we wait, the more organics that are ending up in the landfill.” De Candole said Kamloops residents waste almost 700 kilograms of food per person annually, noting the provincial goal is half that amount — 350 kilograms per person per year. She said 43 per cent of waste is compostable. Think vegetable scraps like avocado skins and potato peels in addition to coffee grounds and yard waste. “As soon as you start diverting the organ-

duction and land application. All but two (liquefaction and land application) could include organics/yard waste. Adding high-moisture organics to the thermal drying option, however, may increase processing costs. Michener said curbside organics collection is currently tied to implementation of the biosolids management plan. That issue will tentatively return to council sometime in the fall. No cost estimates could be provided. “A lot of it just depends on what the implementation plan would be for the biosolids,” Michener said. De Candole expects to present support from businesses and residents to city council and will be approaching restaurant owners for written letters of support. So far, she said, she has support from the Mt. Paul Food Centre and the Kamloops Food Policy Council, in addition to hundreds of online supporters. She added that more than half of the province is already composting, including Nanaimo on Vancouver Island, a city of similar size to Kamloops. The petition can be found online at change. org by searching “Let’s compost Kamloops.”

Memorial bench will honour those who died by overdose STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A memorial bench will be unveiled in Riverside Park next month to pay tribute to those who have died by overdose and provide strength to those who continue to grapple with addiction. The Aug. 29 unveiling will mark International Overdose Awareness Day, which is observed on Aug. 31. “It’s something that we will have for years to come,” Sandra Tully of Moms Stop the Harm told KTW. Tully lost her son, Ryan Pinneo, three years ago to a fentanyl overdose and said stigma remains amidst the opioid crisis. “People don’t view it as a health issue,” Tully said. “They see it as a choice. That’s certainly one of the bigger stigmas.” Last year on International Overdose Awareness Day, Moms Stop the Harm — a network of families who have lost loved ones or have relatives struggling with substance use — launched a fundraiser to erect the bench.
Kamloops.ca/Calendar
Since then, Tully said, $2,800 was raised from within the community to dedicate the bench this year through a city program along the riverfront pathway in the downtown park. “It was chosen for Riverside Park just because that feels like the heart of Kamloops,” Tully said. She hopes the community will find comfort when visiting the bench. Statistics show that most overdose deaths occur among men between the ages of 30 and 39. The sad reality, Tully noted, is many of those men were fathers who have left behind young children. “For generations to come, we’re going to feel the effects of this crisis,”
Tully said. “So, as that young child grows, maybe that’s where he finds or she finds peace to go and remember dad.” Recent numbers indicate a decrease in drugrelated deaths. Overall, there have been 462 illicit drug toxicity deaths in B.C. through the first five months of 2019, down 30 per cent from the 2018 total (651) over the same period. However, Tully said she feels as though the numbers provide “false hope.” She pointed to The Mustard Seed New Life Community Kamloops temporarily shuttering 17 beds under its men’s recovery program and recent criticism of the local mobile supervised
drug-use RV due to issues created from its users. “I don’t think we’ve done enough to combat the crisis,” she said. Tully called on the federal government to decriminalize drugs, to recognize addiction as a health issue across the country, to stop punishing people who use and to redirect resources into healthcare facilities to provide safe drug supplies. “I just don’t think we’re even halfway through this crisis yet and it will take many more lives,” Tully said. “That’s the scary thing.” The bench unveiling will also coincide with the debut screening of video that showcases artwork from PhotoVoice, an exhibit on substance abuse shown last year at the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre. The event will be held on Thursday, Aug. 29, from noon to 2 p.m. at Heritage House in Riverside Park.
Minister urges training for all From A1
“One of the industries that has been heavily affected by opioids and overdoses is construction,” MacPherson said. “Because of that, we felt that was the best place for us to go to eliminate the stigma, but also to help build sustainability in the course.” She said trades workers take a refresher course every three years. Petitpas Taylor told reporters gathered for the event she feels the training will raise awareness of the importance and need
for Naloxone training. “These types of information sessions and training sessions are extremely important,” she said. Given the number of overdose deaths in the country, Petitpas Taylor said, everyone has likely been affected by the opioid crisis in one way or another. She encouraged all Canadians to receive training. “At the end of the day, having your Naloxone kit can save a life,” she said. In total, 11,577 people have lost their lives to an overdose in

the last three years in Canada, Petitpas Taylor said, noting 48 people in Kamloops died in 2018 alone. “As Canada’s health minister, there is no issue to me that is more important than this one,” she said. Asked if there is an appetite to decriminalize all illicit drugs as Portugal did, Petitpas Taylor said that’s not something the federal government is considering at this point, noting the provinces and territories have the responsibility of direct health service delivery.

Shelkie: Mounties do receive diversity training From A1
The complainants and the RCMP have differing accounts of the incidents. Shelkie said police officers attended the Duchess, where they discovered a fight had already broken up, observing that the 27-year-old Hall and a 34-year-old man from Vernon had sustained minor injuries. Hall told Global News a brawl broke out between himself, a friend and two white men after they called him racial slurs, including “darkie” and the N-word. Hall said one man threw him to the ground and kicked him in the head while using racist language. Hall claimed that when officers arrived, they tended to other
parties first, didn’t take a statement and didn’t take photos of his injuries, despite him mentioning it. According to Shelkie, those involved were unco-operative with police. “At that time, neither man wished for police assistance or further investigation, nor were there any indicators at that time that [the assault] was hate-motivated,” she said. Hall’s mother, Carrie Hall, who lives in the U.S., told Global News that police did not treat her son as a victim. She saw the incident as an opportunity for the RCMP to improve training around hate crimes and racial sensitivity — noting responding officers were white. Shelkie said there are three types of hate
crimes in the Criminal Code for which someone can be charged: hate propaganda, public incitement of hatred and mischief relating to religious property. “None of those fit this [incident],” Shelkie said, noting there is no criminal offence for someone calling another person racially charged names. But if someone is found guilty of an assault, those facts could be taken into consideration upon sentencing. Shelkie said the assault investigation is ongoing. “If charges are approved, then we need that information for sentencing,” she said. Fulton, the blind man, told CTV News he tried to show his guide dog identification card to the gas station clerk. Fulton said the clerk,
Men missing, vehicle found Surrey Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding two men whose vehicle was found near Logan Lake. Richard Scurr and Ryan Provencher have not been in contact with friends and family since Wednesday, July 17.

however, maintained his position and said he would call police. Shelkie said Mounties received a call from an employee who reported a man and woman had brought their pet in the store and became verbally aggressive when told it wasn’t allowed inside. Two officers responded and found the man and woman yelling in the store, Shelkie said, adding the man and woman also yelled at the officers and refused to leave when asked by police to do so. Fulton told CTV he
wasn’t confrontational, spoke in a calm voice and wanted to show the officers his guide dog identification card. He said the situation demonstrates a lack in training because the officers were not able to recognize immediately that his dog is a guide dog. Shelkie said Fulton was arrested and taken outside to de-escalate the situation. “Once the woman conveyed that the man was blind, he was released from handcuffs and released without charges,” Shelkie said, noting officers weren’t
told the man was blind until they took him outside. She said it was not apparent the man had a guide dog, noting it was sitting by itself off to the side and behind the man and woman when police attended. Asked if additional training was something the Kamloops RCMP is considering in light of the incidents, Shelkie said it is not believed the officers acted improperly, pointing out that police officers already receive diversity training. Shelkie said RCMP officers receive train-
ing at the RCMP Depot Academy in Regina and on the job. She said courses related to race relations, gender identity and dealing with people who have mental illness and physical disabilities are applied at the academy through lectures and scenario training at Depot and again through online courses on the job whenever the course is updated. She said courses are updated sporadically, but noted this type of training comes into practise essentially on a daily basis.“

GET OUT AND ENJOY FESTIVAL SEASON
I
t’s festival season in Kamloops. Following a wetter than normal start to July — we received more rain through July 21 than we normally experience during the entire month — Mother Nature has brought back summer. With various events being staged outdoors, the timing could not be better. And (knock on wood), the sunny skies are crystal clear compared to the smoky horizon that blanketed Kamloops during the past two summers. This Thursday marks the start of the second annual Kamloops International Buskers Festival, which will see world-class performers wow audiences in Riverside Park through Sunday. It truly is a world-class event and needs support from residents — both in cheers and cash, as these artists are only paid via donations — if the buskers are to continue coming to the Tournament Capital. Also established this summer is the latest edition of X Fest, Project X Theatre’s annual outdoor presentation of two plays in Prince Charles Park downtown. Cinderella and Jack and the Beanstalk will be performed on alternating nights, through Aug. 3. Of course, there is also Hot Nite in the City and Ribfest just around the corner — on the weekend of Aug. 9 to Aug. 11 — with tens of thousands of people expected to be downtown and in Riverside Park. Take time to enjoy some (or all) of the above and more that is happening in and around Kamloops this summer. Festivals can bind a community and can serve as stress relievers in these hectic days. Slow down, smell the ribs, ogle the cars, toss a toonie to a busker and give a standing ovation in Prince Charles Park. You deserve it.

Redistributing the trees
B
.C.’s forest industry is having another bad week after Canfor Corp. announced the immediate closure of its Mackenzie sawmill north of Prince George and the permanent reduction from two shifts to one at its Isle Pierre mill west of the city, effective in September. It’s the latest of a long string of permanent or temporary lumber production curtailments announced this year for B.C. Interior mills. Canfor attributes the layoff at Isle Pierre to timber reduction at the centre of the mountain pine beetle recovery zone. Mackenzie’s closure is “due to the high cost of fibre, poor lumber markets and challenging operating conditions that have combined to make the mill uneconomic under these conditions.” This is the backdrop for Forests Minister Doug Donaldson’s latest initiative, the launch of an “Interior forest sector renewal” project. This consists of a website to gather public input while ministry staff meet privately with local government and Indigenous leaders in Interior communities, including those hurting the worst. As with the series of industryled meetings urged by Premier John Horgan in January, the key purpose here is to further redistribute Crown forest cutting rights. Horgan and Donaldson are locked into the NDP political frame that big forest companies
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In
VICTORIA are the problem and that nothing has been done about their grip on the people’s resource. The Gordon Campbell government bought back 20 per cent of timber licences to diversify the industry in smaller tenures and community forests, then worked through more than 100 timber assignments with Indigenous communities. This effort faded away during the Christy Clark years, but now it’s back with a vengeance. Similar to the Horgan government’s earlier engagement with salmon farm operators, I suspect these private meetings boil down to a series of ultimatums to big forest licence holders. The B.C. NDP wants to be seen as implementing the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples — and this is how it aims to do it. “Almost every day when we’re sitting in the legislature, I have First Nations come into my office to express interest in more volume and getting involved in forestry,” Donaldson told me last
week. “That diversity of tenure holders is something we think will be important to the vitality of the industry.” Legislation passed this past spring requires what’s called a “public interest” test for any transfer of cutting rights. Donaldson described the proposed sale of Canfor’s licence to Interfor to keep its historic Adams Lake sawmill going as the $60-million sale of an “artificial asset.” I asked Donaldson if this kind of transaction is a thing of the past. He allowed that while ministry staff have kept in touch with Interfor and Canfor, he has met with the mayor of Clearwater and leadership of the Simpcw First Nation. Chief Shelly Loring has demanded a role in forest management and Donaldson concurs. “I’m looking forward to seeing the proposal on my desk and, yes, we want to see diversity of tenure to create more opportunities,” he said. Setting aside the useless political rhetoric around this (“You did nothing!” “No, you’re doing nothing!”), an optimist could say a multi-decade process of Crown forest reform and development of new markets such as mass timber is continuing. My concern now is that the NDP is interpreting its minority government as a one-term window for socialist revolution, like the Dave Barrett government of the 1970s. I hope I’m wrong. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

Apparently, He/She approves of what I am doing.
If Kempling has a problem with my cartoon, he should tell God to stop encouraging me. As to which religion would find a rainbow offensive?

Editor: I offer my thanks to Kamloops Coun. Bill Sarai, for keeping his campaign promise to speak up for Brocklehurst. In January, we purchased a home on the river, but the problems began when the weather turned nice. Our home is adjacent to a dead-end and it was there where we soon discovered activity that compromised the beauty, peace and serenity of our street. Non-residents of our street were using the dead-end for multi-car parking, overnight camping, dumping, littering, loitering and activity

I do not care to mention. I contacted the city’s bylaws department and was told that until a sign was up erected, the officers were unable to help us. I then remembered seeing Sarai at a neigh-
bourhood meeting and recalled that he appeared passionate about Brocklehurst. I looked up his contact information on the city’s website and found his telephone number. I was pleasantly surprised that he actually answered his phone. He took my call, listened to my concerns, asked me to send him an email and said he would get back to me later that evening. And he did. The next day, Sarai came out, met with us and assessed the situation — a personal touch we did not expect.

Firefighters quick to get blaze under control Fire Centre communications assistant Kelsey Dunkley told KTW. The fire appears to have ignited next to train tracks, with the flames running into the adjacent gulley. British Columbia has faced consecutive record-setting years of wildfires across the province — 2017 and 2018 — in terms of hectares burned and costs associated with fighting the flames. The summers of 2018 and 2017 led to structures burned, entire communities being evacuated and wildfire smoke settling over many towns and cities, including Kamloops. This summer has been comparably better so far, but Dunkley said it is difficult to predict how the remainder of the season will play out.

A wildfire that broke out south of Deadman Creek near Savona late Sunday afternoon is under control, according to BC Wildfire Service. The fire, estimated on Monday morning to be two hectares in size, was sparked about 24 kilometres east of Ashcroft. No structures are at risk from the blaze, which is visible from highways 1 and 97C. Ten BC Wildfire Service personnel were on scene Monday. Cause of the fire has not yet been determined. “It’s suspected to be humancaused, but we can’t say that for certain at this point,” Kamloops

“At this point, we can’t give any estimates on how it’s going to go,” she said. A wetter than normal July has helped with this year’s wildfire season, as Kamloops has already received more rain through the first 21 days than the city normally receives all month. Average rainfall in Kamloops is 31.4 millimetres. Through July 21, 34.4 millimetres of rain had fallen. In 2018, almost 40 millimetres of rain fell on Kamloops during July.

Two British Columbia teenagers who were first thought to be missing are now considered suspects in the deaths of three people in northern B.C. Kam McLeod, 19, and Bryer Schmegelsky, 18, are suspects in the deaths of Australian Lucas Fowler, his American girlfriend Chynna Deese and an unidentified man found a few kilometres from the teens’ burned-out vehicle, RCMP said Tuesday. McLeod and Schmegelsky were last seen in northern Saskatchewan, driving a grey 2011 Toyota Rav 4, said Sgt. Janelle Shoihet. She said if anyone spots the teens, both standing 6-foot-4 and weighing about 169 pounds, consider them dangerous, don’t approach and call 911. Police initially thought the teenagers were missing. But after making an appeal to the public on Monday, investigators have new information that leads them to believe they are suspects in all three deaths, Shoihet said. “I think that is a testament of how dynamic and ever-changing the information is,” she said. “Yesterday, we had no information as to Kam and Bryer’s whereabouts. “And because we made the appeal yesterday, we now have new information.” Shoihet said she could not release details about how investigators determined McLeod and Schmegelsky were suspects. But she said police are taking the “unprecedented’’ step of urging anyone with information on their whereabouts to come forward. RCMP also released new photographs of the teens
taken recently in northern Saskatchewan. Mounties did not say specifically in which community were seen. Shoihet said the teens might have changed their appearance and might be driving a different vehicle. She said she could not disclose how the unidentified man found near the teens burnedout truck had died. Police have released a composite drawing of the heavy-set, middle-aged man with a beard and are still hoping he will be recognized. RCMP has been in contact with both teens’ families to ask for help finding them, she said. “I’m certain they’re being impacted by this news,” she said. Kevin Hackett, RCMP assistant commissioner, said the Mounties could not release any information that would jeopardize a future prosecution or compromise the integrity of the investigation. “There are many people who we are yet to speak to that have key facts that could build upon the current evidence and information that we have,” he said. “Any information that builds upon, that impacts, that changes somebody’s memory or recollection, would be a negative from an investigative standpoint.” He said the RCMP is continuing to work across the country with law enforcement partners in attempting to track the teens’ movements. Police have previously said the teens had been on their way to Yukon to look for work. Fowler’s father, Chief Insp. Stephen Fowler of the New South Wales Police Force, told the media on Monday that the deaths of his son and his girl-
friend was a tragic end to a love story between the inseparable couple. Fowler said Lucas, 23, was having the time of his life and the family was overjoyed when he met Deese, 24, who were a great pair and fell in love. Police released a composite sketch of a man a witness saw speaking with the couple on the Alaska Highway, also known as Highway 97, on the evening of July 14. Shoihet said the man was driving an older-model Jeep Cherokee with a black stripe on the hood and police would still like him to contact them. Mounties faced questions on Tuesday about why the police did not release more information immediately after Fowler and Deese were found shot dead on July 15 along the side of the Alaska Highway in northwest B.C. McLeod and Schmegelsky’s burned-out truck and the unidentified man’s body were found four days later in northeast B.C., more than 470 kilometres away from the first crime scene. Shoihet said RCMP issued a news release soon after Fowler and Deese were found and investigators were working hard to find the person or persons responsible. Hackett added that the bodies were found in a remote area where police had to conduct forensic examinations, scour the scene and collect evidence. “The worst thing any investigator can do is to mislead the public without the facts,” Hackett said. “Sometimes that translates to waiting longer. What I would ask in this instance is that people be patient.”

HOW THE ICE CREAM TRUCK MELTED AWAY Once a summer staple in Kamloops, the mobile musical marvels have apparently gone extinct
JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
K
amloops kids of today will never know the sheer joy of catching the ice cream truck. It started with a faint sound emanating from down the road, the musical chords floating through the summer air. Perhaps they were heard through an open window or while playing outside in the yard. The sound could be mistaken for something else at first, until it grew louder and louder, echoing through the neighbourhood into a recognizable, joy-eliciting tune. It froze kids in their tracks for one panic-stricken moment before launching them into a change-hunting frenzy, followed by a sprint en masse down the street, barefoot, with all screaming in unison, “The ice cream truck is coming!” Yes, the feeling of catching the ice cream truck — it was an
accomplishment worthy of, well, an ice cream. Perhaps a refreshingly icy Popsicle layered in blue, white and red or something rich and creamy with chocolate. Don’t forget something for dad. It was, after all, his change bin that was raided. As the temperature rises and the calendar flips to peak summer days in Kamloops, KTW pondered the question: What happened to ice cream trucks? Once a summer staple in Kamloops, they have not roamed
neighbourhoods for many years. City of Kamloops business licence inspector Dave Jones said he has not seen an ice cream truck in Kamloops for two decades. He cited public perception, safety and the emergence of the food truck industry as issues leading to the demise of the ice cream truck. “You hear a little bell on an ice cream truck and kids run all over the streets, all over the place, right?” he said, noting children at risk of being hit by
vehicles on the street. “And, in this day and age, rightly or wrongly, who’s operating that ice cream truck? Public safety is the main thing, but we try to keep the same rules,” Jones said. “If we let an ice cream truck go down in all these areas, why couldn’t a food truck go in all these areas?” Ice cream trucks are technically food trucks, Jones explained. As such, they are licensed to operate in certain areas of the city, such as in front of the former Stuart Wood elementary school downtown, in parks and on commercial property. An ice cream truck could operate as do food trucks, but the vehicles would not be permitted to drive up and down city streets and residential areas, as they did in days gone by. Even if ice cream truck operators decided to follow those rules and remain sedentary, it is unlikely they would be able to play those familiar tunes.
Should residents complain about the music, the city’s noise bylaw would come into effect. Jones noted the city has had to approach the Shark Club Sports Bar and Grill downtown when patio music has been too loud and elicited complaints from Riverside Park users. It is clear the climate for ice cream trucks in Kamloops is no longer as cool as it once was, leading to the absence of a oncefamiliar childhood staple. However, that doesn’t mean people have not shown interest from prospective ice cream truck entrepreneurs. What was once old is new again, as we have seen with the resurgence of vinyl, and Jones said the city receives at least one request per year to open an ice cream truck. However, it appears the political tune has not been loud enough to send kids sprinting down the street seeking regulatory change.

The Kamloops International Buskers Festival is about to raise
July 25-27
Join us for the biggest sidewalk sales of the year!
the curtain on its second year of performances after a very successful inaugural
year in 2018. Seven performers will be take to three main stages in Riverside Park from Thursday through Sunday. Busker action will run from 5 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on Thursday, from 12:30 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. on Friday, from 12:30 p.m. to 9:45 p.m. on Saturday and from noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday. Performers will be arriving in Kamloops from around the world, with entertainers coming from as far away as Europe and Australia. But the festival will not be limited to the events that are taking place on the three main stages in Riverside Park. There will be a dedicated music stage outside Heritage House that will be featuring upand-coming local and regional performers. There will also be busk stops scattered through the park that are open to any performer who wants to drop in and play for an hour. The busk stops were one of the most popular features of the 2018 Buskers Festival, according to Audrey Trim, the Tournament Capital and community event coordinator for the City of Kamloops. “Everyone really enjoyed having that kind of spontaneous entertainment throughout the park,” she said. New this year is an interactive art exhibit — a graf-
fiti style urban art installation — being led by Landon Muzio, owner of 808 & Bench Apparel downtown. Muzio will lead the creation of temporary murals with other artists on Friday and Saturday on the wall of the washrooms by the waterpark in Riverside Park. People are welcome to come and watch the art being created right in front of their eyes. On Sunday, a permanent mural will be created for the wall. All the entertainment can be enjoyed free of charge, but Trim hopes people will consider leaving tips for the performers. “Everyone is working for gratuities,” she said. “It’s a really honest form of entertainment.” Last year, the festival relocated to Kamloops from Victoria, where it operated from 2011 to 2016. This year’s lineup is all new, aside from one act who earned an invite back to the festival. Victor Rubilar, an Argentinian footballer who does freestyle moves, juggles and performs acrobatics, won last year’s People’s Choice Award. He is also a Guinness World Record holder. Joining Rubilar will be six other main stage acts, including contortionist Bendy Em, magician Charlie Caper, contortionist and hula hooper Lisa Lottie, comedian and jug-

Thousands enjoyed 2018 festival — including the performers The inaugural Kamloops International Buskers Festival attracted between 5,000 and 10,000 people last year amid blistering heat. The City of Kamloops spearheaded the event with help from an organizing committee that included Tourism Kamloops, Kamloops Arts Council and the business improvement associations. About 32 volunteers helped ensure the event was a success, with various performers complimenting the festival. The Silver Starlets, a duo of aerial acrobats named Molly and Glory, told KTW at last year’s festival that they liked the park atmosphere. “There’s no distractions down here,” Molly said. “When we’re in the city streets, there’s billboards, music
… here we have this focused crowd and it’s lovely.” Kimberly Craig from the Street Circus said the park was hotter than what she is accustomed to working in, but agreed that Riverside is a good, distraction-free venue. “There’s very little ambient noise here, so you can create a lot of ambiance here in your shows and people have a really good attention span,” she said. The forecast for this year’s Kamloops International Buskers Festival is encouraging. Environment Canada is calling for sunny skies and warm temperatures, with highs of 30 C on Thursday, 32 C on Friday, 28 on Saturday (with a 40 per cent chance of showers) and 30 C on Sunday.

MP wants investigation by privacy commissioner CATHY MCLEOD SEEKS TO ENSURE PRIVACY OF THOSE CONNECTED TO ANBANG IS PROTECTED MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod is waiting to hear what Canada’s privacy commissioner has to say about safeguarding the personal information of Canadians. In May, McLeod issued a statement reiterating concerns she has with the Chinese state-controlled Anbang Insurance Group buying Retirement Concepts, which owns a number of senior care homes, including Kamloops Seniors Village in Aberdeen. McLeod said her concern is tied to the fact Canada’s relations with China are at an all-time low. McLeod’s concerns came alongside New Democrat MP Brian Masse’s call for privacy commissioner Daniel Therrien to investigate privacy and security risks to Canadian customers, employees and operators working for or in the care of Anbang, which is said to have ties to Canadian hotel company InnVest Hotels. McLeod said Canada’s working relationship with the Chinese government “has never been this bad,” noting China’s action against Canadian canola and meat imports and detainment of Canadians Michael Korvig and Michael Spavor in December. The actions are in retaliation for Canada’s arrest of
Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. warrant. She was arrested for allegedly defrauding a number of financial institutions in breach of a United States-imposed ban on doing business with Iran. McLeod said she plans to follow up with Masse regarding the status of his request, which she hopes will assess whether safeguards are in place for personal information held by affiliated hotels and seniors complexes and not freely available to Chinese government. “At this point, we are waiting to see what the privacy commissioner determines,” McLeod said, noting facilities such as the Kamloops Seniors Village have “significant private information about their residents.” Asked what type of information could be at risk for members of the Aberdeen seniors complex, McLeod stressed the privacy commissioner is needed to do that assessment. McLeod said Canadians value the privacy of their personal information, pointing out there are some items, such as financial information, that foreign governments shouldn’t know about them. She also said she “can’t speculate” when asked if she felt there was any malicious intent on the part of the Chinese government to access Canadians’ personal information amidst the current hostile political climate between the two nations.
In 2016, McLeod raised concerns over the federal government’s approval of Anbang’s purchase of the retirementhome chain. MCLEOD: BOYCOTTING CHINA-SPONSORED RECEPTION AT UBCM SHOULD BE DISCUSSED While McLeod said she does not like to “interfere in the decisions of other levels of government,” she said she feels the idea of boycotting a China-sponsored reception at this year’s Union of BC Municipalities convention is “an important discussion for them to have.” The reception has been criticized by Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West and others, with West alleging the September reception is a cash for access arrangement and arguing the UBCM should not accept money from what he calls a hostile foreign government. While the UBCM has created a committee to look into future such receptions, while going forward with this year’s event, West called it an “embarrassing cop-out.” The Chinese government contributes about $6,000 in sponsorship dollars to host a reception for B.C.’s municipal politicians at UBCM’s annual convention and has done so annually since 2012. McLeod said she is glad West raised the issue. “I think they’re taking it seriously and really discussing and reflecting on it,” she said.
Kamloops Film Society fine-tuning the plot JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
After about a month of operating Paramount Theatre, Kamloops Film Society continues to work out the kinks. Executive director Dusan Magdolen said audience turnouts have varied depending on the film. The most well-attended film so far was the opening flick, The Grizzlies. However, he said the film society will have to adjust its expectations going forward, moving from showing one film a week in the past to multiple films on two nights weekly. “It’s going all right,” Magdolen said. “It’s summer.” The society took over operations of Paramount Theatre after it was purchased from The Kamloops Film Society took over operations of Paramount Theatre earlier this year after it was purchased from Landmark Cinemas by Ron and Rae Fawcett.

Landmark Cinemas by Ron and Rae Fawcett. Magdolen said smaller turnouts to date are probably for the best because the society still needs to hammer out its point-of-sale system. In addition, it is partnering with the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association to create a mural along Fifth Avenue into the alleyway. The artwork at this time is unknown, as it remains in the early planning stage and a date for its completion has yet to be set. “We’re trying to spruce things up where we can on a shoestring,” Magdolen said. The society plans to expand its weekly offerings in the fall. This weekend, the Kamloops Film Society is screening two movies. Souvenir will be shown on Friday and Saturday at 6:30 p.m., while Wild Nights With Emily will be shown on Friday and Saturday at 6:45 p.m. More information on the movies, and on the film society, can be found on the film society’s website at thekfs.ca.

A decision to shutter the Riverside Park concession this summer was quickly reversed by the city following feedback from the public. The city had decided to shutter the longtime concession near the pier in Riverside Park this year, opting instead to encourage food truck business. But Papa G’s Cafe owner Gerald Thiessen is once again selling hamburgers and ice cream to park visitors. Weather permitting, concession hours are from 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 agreement is for one year. It remains unclear whether the concession will re-open in the summer of 2020.

Following a damp start to the summer, Southern Interior ranchers will not receive federal tax relief as part of a federal announcement this week that impacts ranchers from B.C. to Quebec. Monday’s announcement comes amidst drought conditions, which are being felt in parts of B.C., through the Prairie provinces and as far east
as Quebec. The BC Cattleman’s Association said Southern Interior ranchers have yet to be impacted, with July precipitation higher than normal. Association general manager Kevin Boon said ranchers north of Williams Lake and on Vancouver Island will benefit from the relief. The federal government said livestock producers in Western Canada are experiencing forage shortages as a

result of the drought conditions. The tax deferral allows ranchers to defer a portion of their 2019 sale proceeds until 2020 to help replenish herds. Eligible regions are chosen based on weather, climate and production in consultation with industry and provinces. Tax relief has been given out to ranchers in the past, but typically comes later in the season.

Broncos respond to searing podcast LOCAL JUNIOR FOOTBALL TEAM GEARING UP FOR TILT VERSUS SUN IN WEEK 1 OF BCFC CAMPAIGN MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
B
lake Roberts dropped the mic on the Kamloops Broncos, pipebombing the rebuilding franchise with unfavourable predictions and opinion on his podcast, Dieter’s CJFL Podcast with BCFC emphasis. Among his claims, some of which he reiterated in a subsequent interview: The Broncos will most certainly post an 0-10 record this year, the club’s new-look board of directors is delusional if it believes the team will ever win a championship in the current Canadian Junior Football League format and the franchise is in danger of extinction. The former B.C. Football Conference executive has had ties to the league and the Okanagan Sun for nearly 30 years, but is now free of the muzzle that often comes with
organizational affiliation. To hear Roberts’ takes, go online to soundcloud.com/dieterscjfl and listen to the U20 Concept and Episode 12 offerings, among others. Roberts may not have set out to eviscerate the Broncos’ board, players and coaches, as much of his argument for the team’s hopelessness is more an indictment of the CJFL’s 22-andunder format, which he believes should be 20-and-under, but his strong words quickly reached the Kamloops bulletin board. “Us against the world, absolutely,” Broncos’ offensive co-ordinator Jeremy White told KTW on Monday before practice at Hillside Stadium. “Being told that you are going to go 0-10, we’re using that as fuel.” The Broncos underwent sweeping changes after last year’s 0-10 campaign and brought in head coach Rob Ellis for his second tenure. Brad Yamaoka, the bench
boss in 2018, will coach the running backs and special teams this season. Former president Dino Bernardo is no longer with the team, with Darren Watt taking over that role. “It’s supposed to be a rebuilding season, but we’ll see once that first game is under our belt,” Ellis said. “We’ll see how well we’ve recruited. I’m cautiously optimistic about the season.” Did he hear the podcast? “It’s like Game of Thrones — words are wind,” Ellis said. “A lot of people forget how close the games with the Sun and Langley were at the end of last season. “I think this team we have is better than that.” Kamloops will receive an acid test in Week 1, slated to play the Okanagan Sun in Kelowna on Saturday, Aug. 3. Okanagan has never lost to Kamloops, which joined the league in 2007. White plans to strip down the playbook this year for what he called a true rebuilding season, noting recent high school gradu-
ates will benefit from simplification. “It’s a young team, eager to learn and very coachable,” White said. Many of the team’s 2019 recruits are from the Prairies, castoffs from programs such as the Saskatoon Hilltops, the perennial CJFL institution that generally has its pick of the litter. “I’ve got a lot of under-theradar players that maybe some people overlooked, and they’ve got a chip on their shoulder,” said Braden Vankoughnett, whose coaching duties include leading the front seven on defence. Linebackers Darby Kwan and Mixon Madland, defensive linemen Troy Melo and Damian Person and defensive backs Quinntinn Kocis and Kaden Cook are among returnees expected to buoy the Broncos’ defence, said Vankoughnett. “If we put them in the right position to succeed, I think they’ll handle business,” Vankoughnett said.
“I don’t know about rebuild. I prefer the term reload.” Roberts’ shotgun shrapnel seemed welcomed motivation to most who spoke to KTW, but Nick Nica, who is expected to start at quarterback for the Broncos, has a different approach. “Our coach put it in our group chat,” Nica said. “I went to go watch it, but I thought, let’s leave the outside chatter outside. Let’s focus on us. No one knows what we can do at this point. It’s us against the world. Everyone can keep talking.” Reid Vankoughnett, Braden’s younger brother, was brought to Kamloops prior to the 2018 campaign and given the starting quarterback job in time for Week 1. Nica, who last year backed up Huskers’ No. 1 pivot Julian Wytinck, has swapped teams with Reid Vankoughnett, who is competing for the No. 1 gig in Chilliwack. See BRONCOS, A23

I’m looking forward to spending time with them.” Jassi Sangha handled head coaching duties last season, but a growing family and work commitments contributed to his decision to step back. He moves into an assistant coaching role, along with Cody Lockwood and Andrew Fisher. Peter Friedel is the team’s trainer. The Storm, who started 0-9 in 20182019, posted 19 victo-
ries in 49 games last season to finish fourth among five teams in the Doug Birks Division. Revelstoke swept Kamloops 4-0 in Round 1 of the playoffs. Gainey, the son of NHL Hall of Famer Bob Gainey, is involved in several local business ventures and wife Mikayla is pregnant with their third child. “It seems like a good fit with the level of involvement right now,” Gainey said. “We came a long way last year and we have high expectations for this year.”

BRONCOS’ VP HARRISON: WE’RE DOING JUST FINE, MR. ROBERTS
MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
From A21
Longtime scorekeeper Tony Parker, recently inducted to the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame, called it the longest game in Kamloops Major Men’s Fastball League history. Tempest weather led to rain delays and poor field conditions at Charles Anderson Stadium, adding to the atmosphere of the winner-take-all grudge match. The Frenchy’s Prowlers of Chase, who lost to the HD Parts Bombers of Kamloops in the 2018 and 2017 finals, were sick of waiting on Thursday when the eighth inning rolled around in the deciding game of this year’s championship series, a rematch of the previous two. Pinch-hitter Aaron Arnouse drove in a pair of runs to tie the game at 15-15 in the bottom of the eighth, with the international tiebreaker rule in effect, and Josh Simpson stepped up to the plate with the game on the end of his bat. Simpson singled to drive in the winning run, giving the Prowlers a 16-15 victory and sweet vengeance on a rain-soaked night in downtown Kamloops. “We knew we could do it and we didn’t give up,” said Prowlers’ winning pitcher Steve Davidson, who hurled seven-plus innings in relief of starter Ethan Lans. “They’re a good team. We were all getting tired. It was a slugfest.” Adam Donnelly, who pitched eight innings for the Bombers in a losing effort, said the rivalry with Frenchy’s is predominantly friendly, but the loss still stings. “It didn’t feel great, especially when you’re pitching, trying to get guys out,” Donnelly said. “I’ve been playing against most of these guys for 20 years. We can all chat after the game.” Lans was 3-for-5 at the plate, with two RBI. Teammate Vegas Antoine was 2-for-2, with four RBI and four runs scored.
“I got my release from Chilliwack and wanted to play for Langley,” Nica said. “At spring camp, it just didn’t mesh. It’s my third year, so I figured I’d go to a place where you can start and try to go to university. My buddy texted me and said — so you want to come to Kamloops spring camp?” Nica is impressed with the group of offensive players he is pegged to lead. “Our starting five is absolutely insane. I told the guys at the beginning of camp — you guys are all all-stars,” Nica said. “There is so much potential on this team. It can only go up.” The Broncos were asked for a response from the board level to Roberts’ suggestion the franchise’s future is in jeopardy. Mike Harrison, the Broncos’ vice-president, said the club is in a fantastic position. “It’s been a really actively engaged board and coaching staff since we had the AGM [on Feb. 13],” Harrison said. “There was a bunch of stuff we had to change in a positive manner, quite the undertaking. “A record of 2-18 over a couple of seasons, it was just time for
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Steve Davidson of Frenchy’s Prowlers gets back to first base just in time on Thursday at Charles Anderson Stadium.
The Bombers, who scored twice to take a two-run lead in the top of the eighth, walked Antoine to get to Arnouse in the bottom half of the inning. “We thought, put the force on, maybe get a ground ball,” Donnelly said. “I thought for sure they were going to lay down a bunt. “I thought it was a good pitch, but he went with it, smashed it to the wall.” Added Davidson: “Coming off the bench isn’t easy. It just shows the depth in our lineup.” Kevin Kawaguchi and Doug Hanson were both 4-for-6 at the plate for the Bombers. Cory Warner was 3-for-5. The Bombers outhit the Prowlers 19-16, but the team from Chase prevailed to end a long game and an agonizing wait for a championship. “We just persevered,” Davidson said. “It was great.”
a change. That’s all.” Harrison addressed Roberts’ theory that the CJFL should become a 20-and-under operation. “If it was something that was going to be successful, it would need a lot more support and I don’t see that it has any right now,” Harrison said. “Blake put a lot of work into this. He’s to be commended for being passionate about what he believes in, but it really appears he’s the only one believing it now.” Roberts said the Broncos will never emulate the Sun, who were established in 1981 and built partly on the back of excellent Kamloops players in the 1980s and 1990s. The Sun’s history has made them the go-to spot for Interior and Okanagan high school recruits and the Broncos, now drawing from only one senior high school football program, South Kamloops secondary, simply arrived to the party too late, according to Roberts. “I would say that’s Blake’s vision, respectfully,” Harrison said. “There is none of
that on our side.” Harrison, also on the Kamloops Community Football board, said bantam and midget programs likely to be established next year will bolster the football scene for highschool age players in the city. KTW will have more on that in the coming weeks. The Broncos’ home opener is slated for Saturday, Aug. 10, when the Langley Rams come to town. Game time is 6 p.m. at Hillside Stadium, a venue Roberts hailed secondbest among western CJFL stadiums. The compliment’s shine diminished when he said Hillside — which is undergoing sound-system and lighting upgrades this week — will never host an interconference playoff game unless the CJFL considers format changes. “The fact the Kamloops Broncos will not have the opportunity to show the stadium and city off is a shame, because Kamloops really does do this sort of thing right,” Roberts said, noting the Tournament Capital is a great football community. “The recipe for the Kamloops Broncos is now one of failure. It’s a real poor recipe for the Kamloops Broncos to survive.”

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Lawrence “Tex” Edward Herman Benson We are sad to announce the passing of Lawrence “Tex” Edward Herman Benson of Knutsford, BC who passed away on July 20, 2019 at the age of 68. He is survived by his loving wife of 26 years Lilly BillyBenson and his children Lee (Sherry), Jamie, Megan (John) and his special gifts, his grandchildren Emily, Jade, Jordan and Adaline. He is also survived by his sister Shirley Ballum of Prince George, BC and many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts and uncles. He was predeceased by his parents Stanley and Marjorie (Billie) Benson. Tex was born in Quesnel, BC and lived in Williams Lake and 140 Mile House until he moved to Kamloops in the early 80s which he then called home. Tex worked in a variety of professions, most recently as a truck driver, but also included railway worker, sawmill worker, taxi driver, bike shop assistant, ranch hand and construction. Tex started riding motorcycles at an early age and often shared with others that he would be able to ride from Williams Lake to Kamloops and only see one other motorcycle.
This life style he chose brought him many close relationships with lots of wonderful people which brought him great joy in his life.
Footprints
Lawrence was a young boy at the age of 4 years old when he and his dad and mom would come up from the south to visit in Prince George and his sister would snatch him up to spend some time with her “Little Tex” before they would head out to his aunt’s ranch to ride his little black pony, Smokey.
One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
Lawrence spent some time in Army Cadets and attended many horse racing meets with his very successful jockey dad and his mom.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
A Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, July 27, 2019 at 11:00 am at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops, BC to gather together and honour the life of Tex Benson. There will be a Memorial Ride to follow for anyone who wishes to attend. We would like to send special thanks to the Kamloops Cancer Clinic and various other departments of the Royal Inland Hospital and those who have supported us. In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the Kamloops Cancer Clinic at Royal Inland Hospital.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.” The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Barbara Helen Dyck
September 15, 1949 – July 6, 2019 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our Mother, Nana, Aunt, Sister and Friend. Barb is survived by her sons Kevin and Ryan (Sandra) and her much loved grandchildren Shiraz, Sebastien and Anaïs. She also leaves behind loving family in Manitoba and Ontario. She was predeceased by parents John and Rikka, husband Henry and sisters Shirley and Pat. Also, Henry’s parents Henry and Annie and his brothers Abe and Frank. Barb grew up in Winnipeg and while working at the Royal Bank met Henry. They were married and made their way out West to start a family and their new life together. There were many fun filled times camping, skiing and golfing together. As the boys grew up, Barb went back to the bank and then to ICBC from where she retired. Barb’s favourite place was her sewing room; it was there she spent many hours creating her beautiful quilts and numerous other sewing projects. Many family and friends have been lucky recipients of her handiwork. We will cherish them always. If she wasn’t sewing, she could be found at The Hamlets checking up on not only Kevin but other residents as well. Barb was an advocate for the disabled and wanted to be sure they were getting the care they needed and deserved. Staff and residents alike will miss her presence. We would like to thank everyone for visiting Barb in the hospital as well as when she came home; it meant a lot to her as well. The family would like to give a special thank you to Bill and Debbie for always being there for Barb. It was, and still is, very much appreciated by us all. As per Barb’s wishes no formal service will be held. In lieu of flowers, if desired, donations may be made to the MS Society/BC Division. This is an organization that was very dear to her heart.

Norman Doggett Sr. March 5, 1942 - July 12, 2019
Norman left us peacefully on July 12, 2019 after a courageous battle with cancer. He had family by his side and the sounds of laughter and reminiscing accompanied him as he passed. Norm grew up in Kirkland Lake, Ontario. He studied to be a millwright at George Brown College in Toronto. Always a wandering spirit, rumour has it that he made his way to Toronto on a freight train. He later moved West, to coastal BC and then to Barriere where he and Nadine raised their children. Norman worked as a millwright for most of his adult life. He was at the top of his trade, training many apprentices. Norm loved his work and he hoped to be the oldest millwright still on the job with his union, Millwrights 2736 in Delta. He finished his last job at the Strathcona Dam in Campbell River last year at the age of 76; unbelievably, he was not the oldest millwright still working in BC when he retired. Norman is survived by his wife Nadine, children Norman Jr, Clinton, Cherie (Dan), Nicole (Dan), and Jane (née Buffy), grandchildren Joshua, Ian, Jamie, Riley, Harmony, Hayley, Jordan, Jacob, Bryce, Samantha, Chelsea and Levi, greatgranddaughters Lucy and Maisy, father Tom Wilding, brothers Terry (Susan), Brent (Lori), Danni (Vicky) and sisters Debbie and Nancy (Warren). Norm had many nieces and nephews; he had a special bond with his nephew Christopher Wilding who travelled to spend time with Norm in hospice. Norm is predeceased by his eldest son Christopher Doggett and his mother Ivy Wilding. Norm was passionate about American muscle cars, computers, travelling and music. He particularly loved spending time in France with Nadine in their later years. One of Norm’s greatest joys was playing guitar with his dear friend Howie Ross. Family and friends will be gathering to Celebrate Norm’s Life at the Barnhartvale Community Hall on Saturday, July 27, 2019 from 1:00 - 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in Kamloops, where Norm was lovingly cared for in his last days. Our gratitude to Drake Funeral Services for handling final arrangements with such care.
