VENABLES VALLEY

Deaths believed to be accidental Tim Petruk KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The mayor of Ashcroft said the community is in mourning after four people were found dead inside a home in nearby Venables Valley — deaths believed to have been caused by carbon-monoxide gas. The bodies of Harvey Volaine and his wife, Melissa Penner, as well as their two children, 10-yearold Kaylex and seven-year-old Ay, were found by police conducting a well-being check on Friday (March 24). The deaths occurred in a home that is part of the Sarangati Village, a 1,600-acre Krishna community of about 25 families in Venables Valley, 30 kilometres south of Ashcroft. “There’s definitely a sense of loss and, I guess you would say, shock,” Ashcroft mayor Jack Jeyes told Kamloops This Week. “The community in Venables Valley is even harder hit, of course, but they do interact with

VIEWPOINT EDITORIAL

A season to remember

“The Cents win! The Cents win! The Centennials WIN!” These words highlighted the MANTAR BHANDAL playoff run VOICE OF THE the Merritt CENTENNIALS Centennials had this past season. As the voice of the team, I got to call some fantastic games, which will forever be cemented by both Tyrell Buckley (thanks for making me famous!), and Stephan Seeger’s OT heroics. The season was full of a lot of ups and downs, from that lengthy losing streak early in the season to the incredible playoff run that saw the Centennials become the only team in history to sweep a defending RBC cup champion. The gentlemen that formed this Centennials team were a group of excellent individuals. Some appropriate words to describe this group include genuine, compassionate, hardworking, and diligence. This was a team that prided itself in doing things the right way; to be good people and to treat people with respect. All the players made bonds and friendships that will last a lifetime. They never gave up on each other. From the antics of Zach Court to the weird dance routines of Colten Lancaster and the fierce leadership of Brett Jewell, they all went to war with each other day in, and day out. And I got to have a front row seat. From the opening day of the season and the seven-and-a-half hour bus ride to Prince George (only to not have the broadcast equipment work forcing me to call my first BCHL game over my cell phone), to the game seven loss in Penticton, I had the pleasure to bring you the Centennials games on Q101 and Hockey TV. Travelling with the team gave me experiences and memories

United we stand — divided we fall Following several social media groups dedicated to hunting and fishing, I am continually surprised by how many comments I encounter with one common OTHMAR VOHRINGER The theme: ridiculOUTDOORSMAN ing and accusing others of wrongdoing. It seems that no one can post an image or comment in support of various hunting methods without being attacked by fellow hunters. One of the most recent examples of hunters attacking hunters is related to the upcoming provincial election in B.C. The NDP, vying for the big-city votes, has partnered with the anti-hunting segment by promising to ban grizzly bear hunting. A grizzly bear hunting ban is not based in reality nor in conservation concerns. There are more grizzly bears in B.C. now then there have been in recorded history. Any hunter standing up against this promised ban on social media will become the target of ridicule and internet bullying for

supporting “trophy hunting.” One has to ask if those criticizing grizzly bear hunting supporters are familiar with the actual facts of grizzly bear conservation/management or are simply trying, in vain, to appease antihunters. Another, and to me more serious, incident I remember is a picture on Facebook from a father who proudly shows off his 12-year-old son’s first deer. In the caption the father mentions that his son shot the deer with a 22-250 caliber rifle. This was enough for some hunters to unleash a barrage of ridiculing comments about the choice of caliber used to take the deer and the age of the hunter. That caliber is a fine choice for any young hunter and has plenty of power to take any deer at close range humanely. As for the age of the hunter, it is perfectly legal in many American and Canadian jurisdictions for 12-year-olds to go hunting in the company of an adult hunter. But that fact did not seem to enter the minds of those commenting nonsense about “unethical hunting methods” or teaching a child “unethical” behaviour. It got so bad with comments that the father decided to take the picture down. As hunters we’re constantly under attack

from animal rights groups and anti-hunters that take offence at killing an animal, but most often seem to be perfectly content with killing people. In fact, many animal-rights supporters I’ve encountered actually put words like “compassion” and “respect for all life” in the same sentence as words like “hunters should be killed.” With that said, I find that the most asinine behaviour comes from hunters against other hunters; namely hunters who verbally attack other hunters because they do not hunt the same way they do. Not hunting according to an assumed “standard” is enough reason for them to belittle and berate others. Often a simple choice can unleash hatred and disapproval. Bowhunters will gang up on a hunter choosing to hunt with a crossbow. It can get really silly when hunters engage in such mundane subjects as the choice of rifle caliber. A conversation I followed concerned a hunter asking the simple question whether a .270 caliber would be sufficient to hunt deer. Right on cue came the parade of the cyber bullies, telling the hunter that he “must be

OPINION LETTER

Speak up

to the editor

You can comment on any story you read @ merrittherald.com

RE: “Water meters come at a cost to gardeners”

Editor: It is with some amusement that I read the letter you had printed in your March 23, 2017 edition of your paper (“Water meters come at a cost to gardeners,” page 7, March 23) Mr. Boyes needs to realize water meters are an excellent tool to police excessive unnecessary over-use of water. Contrary to popular belief, water does not run out of your tap for free. It has to be pumped from a source such as aquifers or rivers and then may have to undergo treatment to make it potable. There is the infrastructure costs that include the wells, pumps and storage tanks, then a distribution system it has to go through to get to the users. As well, the operational costs include power to operate the pumps, wages for operators to keep the system going and additional costs for repairs as required. As a matter of interest, in 2016 in Lower Nicola we used around four to eight million gallons per month from September to April. Then, as more usage for lawns and gardens occurred from May to August, the water-use spiked to over 10 to 15 million gallons per month. I noticed that the pumps operated overnight and in the early morning hours so I knew there was watering going on outside the allowable times. As a customer and member of the water district board here, I am anxious to have the meters put in. However, I am setting up a system to collect rain water to keep my gardens supplied with water. Plants prefer the rain water that is a warmer temperature than tap water and does not have the mineralization or chlorination of treated ground water. Now you know “the rest of the story.”

On July 1, 2017, Canada will celebrate its sesquicentennial — or 150th — anniversary. Onehundred-and-fifty years worth of history is a lot to remember — so each week in 2017, the Herald will run this special section to remind you of the remarkable accomplishments, important historical figures, and maybe even a few fun facts you might not have known about our country. This week, a look back on the commemorative license plates used to celebrate Canada’s past anniversaries. In 1967 Canada was to celebrate the centennial anniversary of Confederation. The provinces and territories all had a different way to express this on their license plates for that year.

Lorne Robertson Lower Nicola

Respect goes a long way From Page 6 out of his mind” to choose this caliber when the .300 magnum caliber is a far more “ethical” caliber. The fact is that the .270 caliber is indeed a very good caliber to hunt deer with, but alas, .300 magnums are all the latest hype that has a large following. There is nothing wrong with that but where it gets silly is when words like “hunting ethics” enter the discussion and hunters are called “stupid” for their choice of caliber. The bottom line is that we’re all hunters and as long as a

hunter adheres to the hunting laws it really doesn’t matter what method of hunting he or she chooses. A little more respect towards each other would go a very long way to unite our divided ranks. My real concern is for the young people we try to recruit to our hunting heritage. What should they think if adults behave in such a childish manner against each other? My message to you is this: hunt the way you want and let others do the same. If you do not like what another hunter does, but is still within the law,

move on. You are not the measure of what hunting is; the law regulates that, and that is all that matters. A closing note to an article I wrote several years ago still seems to hold true today: “Wouldn’t it be wise for hunters to be more tolerant of each other and pick our battles with the ones that really threaten our way of life?”

British Columbia had red on white plates — the first time these colours were used since 1945. It was also the first year that the 19 was used on the upper left hand corner of the plate, but only after the numbers on the plates went above 700,000. This practice continued through to 1969. Many provinces and territories didn’t mention confederation. These were Yukon, N.W.T., Manitoba, P.E.I., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia. Alberta, Saskatchewan Ontario, Quebec and Newfoundland all mentioned either Confederation or the centennial on their plates.

that I will cherish for a lifetime. Like when a tire on the bus flew off on the trip back to Trail and we were stranded on the highway for over seven hours. What a fun time. You can’t make this up! This community has been amazing to me, I have a lot of respect for the people of Merritt. However, I will not be returning next season.

My father has been fighting blood cancer for a few years now, and as an only child I’m going back home to be around him. Thank you for embracing this twenty-year-old, and giving me my start. I will never forget you, this town, and this team. “For the final time as the voice of your Merritt Centennials, good night, and good-bye.” Mantar Bhandal is the play-by-play host of the Merritt Centennials broadcasts on Q101 radio.

The funds will be distributed through the Tourism Events Program, explained Tegart. The program is administered by Destination BC — the Crown corporation which promotes tourism in British Columbia — and offers financial support for large scale events.

NICOLA VALLEY NEWS POLICE FILES

Suspected shooter caught Cole Wagner THE MERRITT HERALD

The RCMP are searching for witnesses, after a winding chase which led Mounties across the province hunting a suspect who was allegedly shooting at semi-trucks along the highway last weekend. The sequence of events began at about 8:30 p.m. on March 24. RCMP officers from B.C.’s North District were searching for a blue Dodge Caliber, believed to be travelling southbound on Highway 97 after receiving multiple reports of shots being fired at passenger vehicles and semi-trucks. The reports came in from Houston, Burns Lake, Vanderhoof, Clucuz Lake, Prince George, Quesnel and 100 Mile House, according to a press release from the RCMP. At around 3:35 p.m. on March 25, Chillliwack RCMP received a report that a

man had allegedly been shot at near the Ford Mountain Forest Road. Police learned that the victim had fled the suspect and managed to find help when he came upon Canadian Forces personnel working at a range on Chilliwack Lake Road. Military police and reservists provided first aid to the 39-year-old Chilliwack man, who survived the incident but remained in hospital with non-life threatening injuries. Meanwhile, in response to the shooting, the Lower Mainland Emergency Response Team (ERT), the Integrated Police Dog Service, and the RCMP’s Air Services were deployed to the Ford Mountain Forest Road area to conduct an extensive search. At approximately 5:10 p.m., members of the police dog team and the ERT located the suspect and took him into custody without further incident.

The man’s vehicle was located nearby, stated the press release from the B.C. RCMP. North District RCMP Major Crime Unit is continuing to investigate and coordinate all instances of shots fired at commercial and personal vehicles. Police are asking anyone who may have been the victim of a suspicious incident allegedly involving the suspect or suspect vehicle described above to contact their local police. Investigators from the Chilliwack Serious Crime Unit are continuing their investigation of the incident that occurred in the Ford Mountains Forest Service Road area. The suspect is currently facing one charge of unlawful possession of a firearm, with additional charges being considered.

Council makes $4,000 donation to cadet corps Merritt’s city council issued a vote of support to the 950 Rocky Mountain Rangers Army Cadets’ in their bid to travel to France this year to take part in celebrations marking the centennial anniversary of Canada’s

assault on Vimy Ridge. The vote to approve a $4,000 contribution to the group’s fundraising efforts was passed unanimously by councillors. Earlier in March, the group

hosted a “blast from the past” gala, featuring Merritt’s finest dressed-up in their 1920s gear. The event raised close to $16,000, said Louise Grenier, one of the organizers for the cadets group.

LETHAL DRUGS ARE out there

Find out how you can save a life. Every day, people are losing their lives to overdoses in BC. These deaths are preventable. Many illegal drugs, including party drugs, have been found to contain deadly fentanyl. And even more toxic carfentanil is now being detected in BC. Not using drugs is the best defence — using alone is the greatest risk. If you use drugs or know someone who does, help is available. Learn about treatment, and where to ﬁnd naloxone and overdose prevention sites in your area by calling 8-1-1 or visiting www.gov.bc.ca/overdose. Your knowledge, compassion and action can save a life.

JUNIOR HOCKEY

Cents fall in game seven; season over

Ian Webster THE MERRITT HERALD

There was just nothing left in the tank. The Merritt Centennials showed the cumulative effect of two very grueling playoff rounds in a row, as they fell 6-2 to the Penticton Vees in the seventh-and-deciding game of their secondround series on Monday night. It was a disappointing conclusion to a tremendous post-season run by the underdog Centennials, who had finished fifth during the regular season in the BCHL’s six-team Interior division. After inspirational

wins in games five and six against to stave off elimination, the Cents simply didn’t have the legs on Monday, in front of 3,700-plus fans at the South Okanagan Events Centre. (See abbreviated game summaries below). “I think that after all the highs of [games five and six], we were emotionally and mentally tired going into game seven, and it showed,” said Cents head coach and GM Joe Martin on Tuesday. “We just didn’t have the push-back when it was needed on Monday.” The early Cents’ goal in the seventh game may have actually harmed his

team, said Martin. “I was happy for Zach [Zorn] of course, but it might have given our players the impression that everything was good, everything was alright when it wasn’t. We weren’t really playing well enough as a team to deserve a goal. “We needed to get better, to get stronger and keep pushing, but it wasn’t there. The players were trying, but were just falling short with what they could give that night.” Martin agreed that special teams, and in particular the powerplay, had a lot to do with Monday’s loss.

GAME 5

We lacked jump; we lacked urgency. I bring it all back to [the players] being emotionally drained.” Despite Monday’s outcome, Martin said he is extremely proud of his entire team, and far it went into the playoffs. “I’ve always had great belief in the group, and where they could get to if they put their minds to it. The resiliency of the group finally came around. They finally found another gear, and played for each other. “They should be proud of what they accomplished, and how hard they worked.”

Players from the Merritt Centennials and the Penticton Vees shake hands after game seven on Monday night in Penticton. The Vees won 6-2. Ian Webster/Herald

With as many as a dozen returning players to next season’s team, Martin is understandably optimistic about the future. “I expect us to be more of an experienced

GAME 6

team next year with the number of returnees. We’ll have an excellent nucleus to build around.” To that end, the Centennials are running the first of two

spring evaluation camps this coming weekend in Merritt. Close to 100 players will be in attendance. A second camp will run on June 10 and 11 in the Lower Mainland.

CENTENNIALS 5 VEES 4

CENTENNIALS 2 VEES 1 (OT)

VEES 6 CENTENNIALS 2

This was a dandy win — at a venue that has been a graveyard for Merritt teams in the past, particularly in the post-season. The Cents were full value for their pair of twogoal leads through 40 minutes. The Vees weren’t about to roll over and concede this one, however. They battled back with a vengeance — finally knotting things at 4-4 with less than 10 minutes left in regulation. Cue the game winning goal by Centennials’ rookie Rylan Van Unen at 13:21 of the third period. Merritt hung on for dear life through the final minutes, and were rewarded with a victory.

In front of the largest crowd of the season at the Nicola Valley Memorial Arena (1,080), the Merritt Centennials got rid of another monkey off their back by beating the Vees in a playoff overtime — for the first time in five years. This was a scintillating game that went back and forth for 60-plus minutes, with great chances at both ends of the ice. Merritt’s Jake Berger and Penticton’s Mathew Robson were sensational in net. Unlike in game four (which they lost 2-1 in OT), the Cents came out in overtime and went for the jugular. Tyrell Buckley’s winner at 10:23 brought the house down.

Despite scoring the game’s first goal just 1:15 into the opening period, the Cents were never really in this one. The Vees responded quickly with two of their own, and by the 40-minute mark were ahead 4-1 and completely in control. Merritt generated just 16 shots on net through 60 minutes, but special teams were the real dagger. Penticton scored twice with the man advantage, while the Cents came away with nothing on six powerplays — including a four-minute double minor and a pair of five-on-threes. The heart was there, but not the execution or the finish.

PERFORMING ARTS

Learn To Dance students showcase their talents Ian Webster THE MERRITT HERALD

It has been a busy time of year for many of the students who attend the Love To Dance Academy in Merritt. Twenty-seven members of the academy participated in the Spanish Flamenco exams on Feb. 27, under the direction of instructor Vanessa van Rensburg. The exam entries included six ‘Spanish Stars’ (ages three to six), five ‘Spanish Sparkles’ (ages six to nine), four ‘Senior Beginner Level’ (ages nine to 12), and 12 ‘Level Twos’ (12 and older). On March 10, the Love To Dance Academy held its annual Awards Night, which was open to dancers and parents alike. Performances by several Level Two students were enjoyed by everyone in attendance. Special mentions at the awards event included: Judges’ Choice Spanish Star: Danika Fader. Judges’ Choice Spanish Sparkles: Reese Horsman and Elaina

A total of 23 Love To Dance students took their Spanish Flamenco exams in late February. (Back row, left to right) Michelle Etchart, Alexia Clarke, Amy Manuel, Miranda Cavaliere, Triana Clarke, Chantalle Anderson, Barb Scapinello, Julia Dobson-Gill, Felize Omori, (middle row) Nia Kuzio, Hannah Manuel, Peyton Rotvold, Megan Voigt, Reese Horsman, (front row) Sadie Stewart, Elaina Pickering, Mikayla Manke, Sedona MacDonald, Danika Fader, Emmry Horsman, Kate van Rensburg.

Scapinello. Also in March, 10 students from the Love To Dance Academy competed in the 2017 Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts. The 10 LTD students participated in two differ-

ent dance genres — ballet (taught by Lizette Nel) and Spanish Flamenco (taught by Vanessa van Rensburg). Between them, the students representing the Love To Dance Academy earned three

first-place awards, five second-place honours and two third-place achievements. “These talented, young dancers spent many hours rehearsing for the Kamloops event during the five months

leading up to the festival,” said Nel and van Rensburg in a joint press release. “Congratulations are extended to all of the competitors! Their passion and dedication are true indications of

the love for dance that is very much a part of them.” The first regional festival of the arts was held in Kamloops in May of 1931 after some intense fundraising by a hardworking group of local business people. In 1932, the festival became an official organization under the name Yale-Cariboo Music Festival. It was held each year until 1939, when the Second World War put the event on hold. The Local Council of Women in Kamloops revived the festival in 1948 with some additional disciplines. In 1982, it officially became known as the Kamloops Festival of the Performing Arts. Today, participants can compete in the following categories: choral, dance, instrumental, piano, speech, strings, voice, speech and the theatrical arts. Performers are divided into age groups, and critiqued by an adjudicator (usually an established artist or instructor from outside of the community). Grades and awards are given out.
