For four decades, Westsyde Pool has been a focal point of all things aquatic for those living in the neighbourhood and beyond. In this 2013 KTW file photo, A.E. Perry elementary student Moses Zobotel-Got (centre) learns the correct manoeuvre to climb onto an ice surface from the water during the Swim to Survive School Program lesson.

A decades-old pool debate

The protest was over quickly, but it had numbers.

On a Friday morning in April of

1974, 600 students stood up from their desks at Westsyde junior secondary and walked out of school

A spokesman told report-ers a march on city hall might follow.

The issue? A recommenda-tion from the city’s recreation commission that a multi-pur-pose gymnasium with sports hall and meeting space be built in the neighbourhood, rather

than a swimming pool.Westsyde Alderman Don

Couch had called the proposal “ridiculous” a week earlier in an article in the Kamloops Daily Sentinel.

What the area needed, in his opinion, was a skating rink and a pool.

“They argue that a popula-tion of 20,000 is needed to sup-port such facilities, but that is not valid,” he said.

Sound a little familiar?This week, the City of

Kamloops continues a round of community meetings, mostly north of the river, to determine what it should do with its aging slate of pools.

A proposal from the city

would see the outdoor pool at McDonald Park converted to a spray park, Brocklehurst’s out-door pool converted to an ice sheet and Westsyde Pool turned into a multi-purpose gymnasi-um, though sauna, hot tub and fitness facilities would continue to operate.

To replace the pools, the city suggests building a new aquatic centre on McArthur Island.

That may also sound famil-iar to longtime residents. It’s the same spot the city had been planning to build its first indoor pool when the Westsyde debate elbowed its way into the spotlight 42 years ago.

Suspect in jail when charged with murder

The man charged with murder in connection to a stabbing outside a North Kamloops sushi res-taurant had been released from jail on a breach charge just before the Jan. 22 killing.

Charges were formally laid against Eric Charlie late Sunday, but he has been in custody on the unrelated breach charge for more than a month.

Court documents identify the victim as 30-year-old John Southwell. To this point, police have not released the name of Charlie or Southwell.

Kamloops This Week reported in January that a 32-year-old suspect in the murder had been arrested four days after the stabbing.

The man was arrested on Jan. 26 on an unrelat-ed breach-of-probation charge and was serving a short jail sentence that would have been sched-uled to end around this weekend.

KTW had not named the man, pending charges related to the murder.

Just before 5 p.m. on Jan. 22, emergency crews were called to the 400-block of Tranquille Road for a reported stabbing.

A man had been injured in an altercation out-side Hatsuki Sushi.

He was rushed to hospital, but died hours later.

Bowled over

The first of what will be an annual fundraising event for the Kamloops Food Bank saw $17,000 raised.

The Empty Bowls lunch, held last Friday at Hotel 540, benefitted from a $10,000 dona-tion from the B.C. Lottery Corporation, said food bank execu-tive director Bernadette Siracky.

The rest was raised through silent and pub-lic auctions that includ-ed 14 bowl-centred packages and 11 bowls autographed by famous people, including the prime minister and actor Johnny Depp.

The Depp bowl brought in the largest donation — $1,800.

Taking part in the event were seven restaurants and one bakery.

Four active city taggers tracked

There are four active graffiti artists at large in Kamloops and, as of this month, the quartet is plying its trade on the North Shore.

The remainder of graffiti isn’t truly graffiti, Ronnie Bouvier told members of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association at its AGM on Thursday night. The rest of the van-dalism with spray paint and markers comes from a group of 11- to 14-year-olds with a penchant for profanity and pornographic images.

“That is not graffiti,” said Bouvier, executive director of the Kamloops Graffiti Task Force. “That is mischief.”

Bouvier said the four taggers are being tracked by the task force and other agencies and she noted there have been no gang tags found in the city. She was speaking as part of a safe-ty panel convened at Hotel 540 to talk about issues facing the downtown area.

Bouvier was joined by Andrew

Iadarola of the CAP Team, Ken Salter of ASK Wellness, Christa Haywood-Farmer of the Kamloops branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association, Jon Wilson, head of the city’s bylaw department, and Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller.

Much of the concerns raised by business owners and tenants revolved around the issue of vagrancy: When should they call bylaw officers? When should they call police? How should they deal with a person who won’t leave their store?

“It becomes a delicate situation,” Mueller said. ‘Vagrancy does not in itself constitute a criminal activity. “There has to be a criminal part to it.”

Mueller noted his detachment has early-morning foot patrols augmented by late-afternoon walkabouts in the downtown core.

Mueller said police can use the so-called red zones downtown to order persistent trouble-makers away from the area. He noted the Crown has been asked to proceed with charges for those involved in crime, while business

owners have been urged to submit victim-impact statements.

Most importantly, Mueller said, is the need for business owners to install video-monitoring devices as convic-tions have been secured using such technology.

Wilson said merchants should call bylaws when faced with aggressive panhandling or nuisance behaviour, adding police should be called with there is a safety-related issues, from assaults to public drunkenness.

During his time with the ASK (AIDS Society of Kamloops) Wellness Society, Salter has been working with the city’s homeless for 16 years.

The society, he said, has become a victim of its own success as it is seeing more and more homeless arriving in Kamloops.

“In some cases, other agencies will send people to Kamloops because they know we have resources,” Salter said.

“We call that Greyhound therapy. Kamloops is becoming known as a place that’s very friendly to homeless people.”

The owner of Hatsuki Sushi told KTW an intoxicated trio — two men and a woman — became involved in an argument outside his restaurant.

Moments later, he said, a bleeding victim entered seeking refuge.

Employees and customers called 911.Charlie, 32, was arrested on Sunday in Kamloops

Regional Correctional Centre, where he was nearing the end of a short sentence for breaching probation.

The probation was in relation to a sentence Charlie received on Jan. 8 — two weeks before the murder — after he was convicted of a string of charges including obstruction of justice and four counts of entering a recognizance under a false name.

He gave police a fake name — James Rocky Whitford — on multiple occasions. In 2013, he was prosecuted six times under his made-up alias, receiving jail sentences ranging from 14 to 60 days.

Because Whitford was not a real person and had no criminal record, Charlie received lighter sentences than he otherwise would have.

In January, the Crown asked for a jail sentence of almost two years, but B.C. Supreme Court Justice Mark McEwan instead placed Charlie on a three-year proba-tion term.

McEwan cited Charlie’s troubled First Nations back-ground at sentencing and said he would have handed down a harsher sentence in different circumstances.

“There are some instances in which I would take a much more dim view of it,” he said. “If some business-man did this and got away with it, [for example].”

Charlie’s next court appearance on the murder charge is slated for March 14.

A city angler is tak-ing a new approach to decades-long concern and politics surround-ing Thompson River steelhead.

Len Piggin, presi-dent of Kamloops Fly Fishers, has filed an application with COSEWIC (Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada), seeking pro-tection for the prized steelhead that now number in the few hun-dred.

Historically, thou-sands of steelhead returned to the Thompson River each year, sustaining a busy fall tourist season in communities including Spences Bridge.

Anglers came from around the world to fish the famed run.

However, begin-ning in the early 1990s, numbers of returning fish began to drop pre-cipitously.

Provincial managers restricted sport fishing to little avail.

Piggin said the most recent numbers show about 440 steel-head returned to the Thompson River to spawn last year, one of the lowest counts on record.

He listed at least five community forums in the past two decades with seemingly no impact on numbers.

When Piggin wrote to officials with COSEWIC, he received a favourable email from a member stating the group is aware of the concerns and may undertake a study.

In the email, Alan Sinclair, co-chair of a fish subcommittee, warned the process can

take three years.“We need some-

body to do something,” Piggin complained. “If COSEWIC says they’re endangered, everyone will stand up and take notice.”

COSEWIC is a group of experts that assess wildlife species for risk of extinction or extirpa-tion from a particular area.

Karl Larsen, a pro-fessor at Thompson Rivers University’s natural resource sci-ence department, said recommendations for study typically come from working profes-sionals or academics.

It starts with a subcommittee of COSEWIC special-ists who will gather research on a particular species, resulting in a status report. If recom-mended, it is sent to a larger body of experts for review.

From there, any recommendation is taken to a committee of federal and provincial representatives that eventually passes it to the House of Commons for listing in the Species At Risk Act (SARA).

That group of rep-resentatives takes into consideration social and economic con-siderations of a listing (listing of a certain fish, for example, could

shut down shipping in a waterway) before it goes to MPs.

“It’s usually a group of [provincial and fed-eral] elected politicians that makes the deci-sion to send the listing through the House of Commons,” Larsen said.

One key consider-ation before an assess-ment is launched is availability of research.

“You need enough

information for a solid review,” Larsen said.

“You don’t want to review it and realize it’s data deficient.”

Piggin met recently with Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod on the issue and is also planning to push the Department of Fisheries and Oceans for a designation within SARA to protect steel-head.

He believes the cul-prit for the continuing decline is the chum fishery in the ocean that results in steelhead bycatch, along with the First Nations food fishery.

“That chum fish-ery has to be closed and other alternatives found until we know how many steelhead we’re getting back [without it],” Piggin said.

City wants your ideasThe City of Kamloops has released

a request for information (RFI) seek-ing parties interested in partnering with the city or presenting other options on the development of the former Kamloops Daily News prop-erty at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue.

The RFI will be posted on BCBid (bcbid.org) and will be circulated within the real-estate industry and major media markets in B.C. and Alberta.

Further information is available

online at kamloops.ca.The closing date for the RFI is

April 15, after which the responses will be reported back to council.

In January, council decided to undertake an expression of interest process for the property after the ref-erendum for the proposed $91-mil-lion performing-arts centre on the site was defeated in November.

Due to the broad nature of the request, it was determined a request for information was more appropri-ate than an expression of interest.

Teens hit in crosswalkTwo teenagers were

taken to Royal Inland Hospital on Friday eve-ning after being struck by a vehicle while they were walking in a marked crosswalk on Westsyde Road.

The teenagers, a boy and girl both 17 years of age, suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Stephen Newport said the teens were crossing Westsyde Road at Overlander Drive in a crosswalk at about 6:45 p.m. when they were hit.

He said the driver stayed at the scene and is co-operating with police. Alcohol is not

believed to be a factor in the accident.

Kamloops RCMP Traffic Services are con-tinuing to investigate.

Hauled to jailKamloops Mounties

arrested a man on Friday night shortly after a U-Haul truck was stolen outside of the city.

Cpl. Jodie Shelkie said an employee of U-Haul called police at 8 p.m. to report that one of its trucks

had been stolen.Minutes later, a

Kamloops Mountie in an unmarked police vehicle saw the stolen truck travelling north into the city on the Coquihalla Highway

“The vehicle pulled over near Copperhead Drive and the RCMP moved in to arrest the driver,” Shelkie said.

“The suspect resist-ed arrest, kicking and struggling. One of the arresting police officers received an injury to her hand.”

A 44-year-old man of no fixed address was taken to RCMP cells in the downtown Battle Street detachment.

Topping Trees is a ‘Growing Problem’

healthy landscapes, healthy living

STOP TOPPING TREES RESULTS OF TOPPINGStub ends are a sign of poor pruning. This kind of pruning destroys the health & beauty of the tree.

The tree retaliates by producing an unruly crop of weakly-attached watersprouts, prone to disease and breakage.

Disease enters via the stub ends, making the tree a short-lived and potentially dangerous one.

The tree ends up looking even bulkier than before; it soon needs re-pruning.

Prune It Right! Here’s how:

Make mostly thinning cuts (removal of branches right back to the parent branch or trunk).

Avoid creating stub ends.

Make your cuts just outside the branch collar (a slight thickening where the branch joins its parent branch or trunk). Flush cuts destroy the tree’s defense zone.

Remember: remove no more than 20% of the green.

Prune It Right! Four easy steps:

1. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches.

2. Remove suckers and watersprouts.

3. Remove badly placed branches:

• Crossing or rubbing each other• Growing into centre of tree• Growing into walkways, roadways, or buildings

4. If desired, trim slender branch tips a few inches, to a bud or a parent branch.

Now stand back and admire the great pruning job. Your tree will look airy and graceful, and your pruning job will stay done much longer than stub-end pruning. Trees add beauty and value to your home. Protect your investment with proper pruning. To learn more, please see the City of Kamloops website or contact a Certi�ed Arborist.

The City of Kamloops would like to gratefully acknowledge the contribution of the Cougar Creek Streamkeepers and the City of Richmond.

The City of Kamloops has held two of four pub-lic meetings to discuss the proposal that would see three pools closed, a new pool open and an extra sheet of ice added to the inventory.

The remaining two meetings will take place from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. tomorrow night at NorKam senior secondary and on Tuesday, March 15, at Sandman Centre Parkside Lounge.

Meetings were held last night in Brocklehurst and Thursday in

Westsyde. The follow-ing is from the Westsyde meeting, with the full story online at kamloop-sthisweek.com:

Their reasons var-ied, but to a speaker, Westsyde residents had one message for Kamloops city council: “Fix the pool.”

The three words were called out multiple times by a packed audience in the Arthur Stevenson elementary gymnasium on Thursday night.

The town hall session was the first of four meet-

ings the city will host this month on the future of recreation on the North Shore.

Westsyde Pool is fac-ing at least $3 million in repairs, after moisture penetrated the vapour barrier in the pool’s ceil-ing, causing the roof to rot from the inside out.

A more complete repair, which would upgrade the building’s heating and cooling system and, according to parks and recreation director Byron McCorkell, add 30 to 40 years to the

building’s lifespan, is about $5 million.

A third option, which would add a second floor to the pool for new amenities, is estimated at $13 million — but that option seemed unpopular with at least some of the crowd.

When the $13-million option was raised during an open-mic question and answer session, some in the audience began murmuring, “no, no.”

The $5-million repair job appeared to be most supported by residents

in attendance. “No one’s asking for

a bigger footprint, no one’s asking for a bigger pool, no one’s asking for a waterslide,” one resident told staff and council-lors. “We’re asking for our pool.”

“I’ve paid taxes all my life, I’ve got arthritis in my knees and I don’t need a damn slide,” added another speaker, who said she and other seniors rely on Westsyde Pool for exercises their bodies can accommo-date.

Many residents who spoke questioned the cost of building a new facility on the North Shore, as well as the city’s ability to find parking spaces for swimmers who would now be head-ing to McArthur Island.

One resident added: “Sell that stupid Daily News building you never should have purchased and put that money towards Westsyde Pool,” he said, referring to the Seymour Street building the city purchased for $4.8 million in 2014.

After their walkout in 1974, a delegation of Westsyde students made good on their promise to take their grievances to city hall. The meeting with Mayor Gordon Nicol doesn’t seem to have gone well.

“While the students asked pointed and relevant questions and at all times remained polite and amazingly calm under the circum-stances, Mayor Nicol reacted with temper and even resorted to name-calling at one point. (He referred to one of the students as ‘rabid,’)” a letter

writer recounted in the Kamloops News.

But by fall of 1976, Westsyders were watch-ing groundbreaking ceremonies for an indoor pool.

What changed?Nearly everything.An election at the

end of the year brought in a new mayor. The city’s recreation com-mission folded due to political issues with council and a new consultant set aside its recommendations in favour of an outdoor pool in Westsyde.

And Alderman Couch, returned to his post by a comfortable margin, finally got a chance to approach

the Kamloops School District to see if it would be interested in chipping in to bring his neighbourhood’s pool dreams to fruition, a plan he’d been pushing in the press even before the Westsyde walkout.

That team-up was the nail in the coffin for a McArthur Island pool.

While the school board agreed to enter serious negotiations to help build an indoor pool on the North Shore with an outdoor facility in Westsyde, the province balked at the setup.

But an indoor pool located next to an active school, which could be used year-round?

That the province could fund.

When the district put in an applica-tion for funding for an indoor pool in Westsyde, all objections “seemed to evaporate,”

the board told the Sentinel.

As 1976 began, alderman were con-fidently stating in the press that a McArthur Island pool would likely never be built when the city could save cash using school sites.

Meanwhile, the South Shore was see-ing its own pool plans emerge. The Kamloops YWCA was looking to diversify into more co-ed programming, with a youth hostel set to open and plans for a major fitness facility in the works.

By the spring of 1976, the city, school board and YMCA were finalizing plans to spend $2.3 million to build two pools, one in Westsyde and one downtown. According to council meeting minutes, the city would carry $1.6 million of the load if it could get the community on side.

Performing-arts centres aside, most modern city spend-ing initiatives are car-ried out through an alternative-approval process, in which proj-ects are stopped by the public only if enough residents formally object. Not so in the 1970s, when residents voted directly on every big-ticket project, from roads and fire halls to park creations.

According to the Sentinel, residents in most parts of the city were ambivalent on the pools, splitting votes fairly evenly between yes and no.

Westsyde, which saw some of the city’s high-est turnout numbers for a single poll, voted in favour by a five-to-one margin.

The neighbour-hood’s persistence had won out.

The only wait left was for construction.

Spring CleaningStreet Sweeping Notice

Weather permitting, City crews will begin spring sweeping of streets in the valley bottom and working into the higher elevations throughout the City. The Spring Sweeping program on average requires 6 to 8 weeks to complete.

In an e�ort to reduce sweeping time and costs, signs will be posted in the areas that are being swept advising the public not to park on the street. Some high density areas will have parking restrictions posted and/or notices delivered in advance of sweeping, for example, downtown east.

Residents who wish to sweep the area in front of their property are advised to remove the pile of sand accumulated as these piles can damage a sweeper, and operators are instructed to swerve around such piles.

POWERTONE HEALTH STUDIO


Thompson Rivers University nursing students are reaching out to the local school district to help spread this year’s World Kidney Day message — act early to prevent disease.

“Kids think they’re invincible,” said third-year nursing student Taryn Christian.

On Thursday, Christian and three other stu-dents, in partnership with the Kidney Foundation of Canada, are organizing a free health and well-ness fair at Northills Centre in recognition of World Kidney Day.

Linda Bonner-Brown has been with the foun-dation for 20 years and has helped organize this event for the last nine years. Three years ago, the TRU School of Nursing came on board and, with it, brought fresh-faced students with a roster of new ideas for raising awareness, she said.

“I think people think kidney disease and only think it affects an older population, but there are a lot of young people who are suffering from it, kids who are suffering from it,” student Talia Ollek said.

“None of us necessarily want to work in a dialy-sis unit, but no matter where we are, we’re going to see people who have problems with their kidneys. I think it’s kind of opened our eyes to what that looks like and what they’re dealing with.”

There are 1,253 people suffering from kidney disease in the Kamloops area. Last year, 271 British Columbians underwent kidney transplants, accord-ing to BC Transplant.

By leading a healthy lifestyle and addressing smoking, alcohol consumption and unhealthy body weight, Christian said people can reduce the risk factor for not only kidney disease, but heart disease, diabetes and hypertension.

“Everything goes along with kidneys,” she said. Patients from the community dialysis unit will be

speaking about their experiences at the fair, which will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nursing stu-dents will be on hand to check blood pressure and blood sugars. Pharmacists will also be available for cholesterol checks.

Several community groups will join them, includ-ing the Canadian Diabetes Association, Canadian Celiac Association, BC Transplant, Canadian Blood Services, Heart and Stroke Foundation, Kamloops Brain Injury Association and the Kamloops Hearing Aid Centre.

LOCAL NEWSThird-year TRU nursing students Talia Ollek and Brie Fehr are helping to organize a free health fair in recognition of World Kidney Day on Thursday from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Northills Centre. Among many health booths, volunteers will be taking blood pressures and doing blood sugar and cholesterol checks. “We’re going out into the community and saying, ‘Here’s how to take care of your health,’ before they end up in the hospital in acute care or with kidney disease as one of my patients,” said Fehr. “It’s giving us a different lens for nursing.”ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW

In a recent column, KTW’s Dale Bass asks whether we should be entertaining the idea of a ward system in Kamloops.

For those not familiar with the process, it’s effectively much the same as having a city MLA or MP.

You split the city into eight dis-tricts and elect someone to repre-sent each area. The plus side is the ward would have a representative more closely tied to the specific needs of its population. It also makes it easier for constituents to identify the individual to whom that they can bring their issues.

The downside is, historically, you find more infighting amongst councillors who are seen to be less likely to prioritize the general good of the city over the good of their neighbourhood.

Councillors have a tendency to place their focus on projects primarily for their given area, yet have the costs spread across the whole city. An example would be me advocating for the retention and renovation of Westsyde Pool without regard for other city proj-ects and without concern the proj-ect is funded not just by my ward, but by the whole city.

In the at-large system we cur-rently use, councillors advocate for the needs of the entire city instead of a subsection of the city.

There is generally less conflict amongst councillors as they are not pitting one area against the other — all eight councillors are your councillors.

This system allows the public to choose the councillor who best fits their specific needs and posi-tion. This would be lost in a ward system as you only deal with your

area’s representative. who may not necessarily agree with your posi-tion on matters.

Bass asserts we already have neighbourhoods pitted against each other as they all have issues they feel should be given highest priority. Fuelling the fire by advo-cating for a ward system hasn’t helped matters any. In fact, it may well go a long way to driving wedges between neighbourhoods.

There are those who feel I have not properly represented my neighbourhood by not vocally advocating for the preservation of the pool in Westsyde and we are given the impression a ward sys-tem already exists in Kamloops.

Yes, I represent the needs of Westsyde, as I do those of Aberdeen, Valleyview, Brock, Heffley and all the other neighbourhoods in Kamloops.

I won my seat on council because I had support from peo-ple across the city, not from just one neighbourhood.

Therefore, I am obligated (and rightly so) to consider all of the city when I make my decisions.

We have countless projects that we need to address over the next

number of years and, along with those projects, are people who feel their project should take prece-dence over others in the city.

City staff determines when the projects go ahead once approved by council, based on how critical the need is. It’s essentially a triage system. If I only advocated for the needs of Westsyde, what kind of message would I be sending to the rest of our community?

With the Westsyde Pool issue, we have a situation where, on the one hand, you have an aging pool and structure that could well have some life breathed back into it.

How much life is the question.I would venture the amount of

life is directly related to how much money the taxpayers of Kamloops are willing to put into this facility.

The same could be said when entertaining the idea of building a new facility, which undoubtedly would cost considerably more, but would be built to today’s stan-dards.

One could surmise, therefore, that the structure would have a much longer life expectancy. I believe, however, this issue goes well beyond bricks and mortar or dollars and cents and is really more about keeping a fixture in the community, a facility that has a history of warm and heartfelt memories.

I fully support the use of feed-back sessions to help council determine the future of this facility and other projects in the city.

There is, after all, only one big pail of money and we need to determine where to put it to best use.

TACKLING POVERTY, BOWL BY BOWL

The statistics are staggering.

According to the B.C. Child and Youth Advocacy Coalition, one in five B.C. children live in poverty.

That means they are going to school without breakfast or lunch and in inadequate clothing. How are they expected

to hit the books when their stomach is grumbling? They also sense the pressure their parents face to make ends meet.

Poverty is quickly becoming an entrenched part of society when you consider one in five of all rental households in Canada spends 50 per cent of its income on rent and 235,000 people are homeless each year across the country (State of Homeless report, 2014).

Hunger Count says 841,191 people visited Canadian food banks in March 2014. Anyone around in the 1980s remembers food banks were

supposed to be temporary.With these figures in mind, that’s why events

like last Friday’s Empty Bowls fundraiser at Hotel 540 are so important.

The Kamloops Food Bank raised $17,000 (including a $10,000 donation from the B.C. Lottery Corporation) through a creative endeav-our it borrowed from Winnipeg.

Artists created bowls, which were then sent to various well-known people to sign and send back.

The bowls were then auctioned off during a luncheon featuring an array of soups cooked up by various Kamloops restaurants.

The soups were delicious and the bowl auction (along with a silent auction of myriad items) will help fill the bowls of those in need.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau signed a bowl, as did Kamloops Olympians. A bowl signed by actor Johnny Depp (complete with a self-portrait) was the Super Bowl of bowls, fetching $1,800 during the live auction.

We all need to become informed about the world around us.Those in poverty can be our neighbours, our co-workers and our

loved ones. They can be us.

Editor:Does anybody else have a problem with BC

Hydro charging such an exorbitant amount for checking the analog meters still in use in some homes?

Being a senior on a fixed income does not leave a lot of money for extras, needless to say.

I have lived in the same place for almost 30 years and I never had to pay to have my meter checked.

Because my meter is in the house, I chose not to have the smart meter installed, for health reasons.

At one time, I was asked to check the meter myself and phone in the results.

Needless to say, I declined. Now, appar-ently, that is not an option.

At almost $40 a month, more than a third of my bill, it seems a bit unreasonable.

When I questioned BC Hydro about this,

I was told I could always use diesel. Sure, that’s an option — I’ll get right on that.

Being a monopoly does not give BC Hydro the right to abuse the very people who depend on this necessary commodity.

So, how do you spell extortion? BC Hydro might know.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor:A few years ago, I had a stroke. I suffered some brain damage

and lost some of the usage in my legs.

For a couple of years during my road to recovery, I was on B.C. disability.

I am now on my seniors’ pen-sion and it is distressing for me to see the way the disabled are dealt with by our government.

I was happy to hear the dis-abled were going to finally get a raise from the $900 a month coverage, only to find out the $72 a month increase was a result of a clawback of the bus passes that so many people with disabilities use for transportation.

This is a slap in the face to people who already struggle daily with self-image.

I believe I can tell you a little

about the daily struggles for many people who try to survive on $900 a month.

It is no fun and it is not doable without having to stand in lines at the food bank and soup kitch-ens.

This funding is for people with difficulties in communicating with others and for some who have difficulty walking.

Getting to these various soup

kitchens requires either bus passes or walking long distances for someone who is struggling to walk.

I lived without using the soup kitchens because I had a line of credit.

Now I am slowly paying this back from a meagre pension.

HIGHLAND DRIVE ACCESS FOR OWL ROAD DUMP MAKES SENSEEditor:

Re: (‘Angst over dump’s access road,’ March 4):

I would like to comment on a Juniper Ridge resident’s com-ment that trucks on Highland Drive will be more dangerous.

Highland Drive has a con-trolled intersection off Highway 1 with no frontage road to cross, few cars backing out of driveways, a four-lane road to

allow vehicles to pass slower trucks and a good sightline of oncoming traffic.

Truck traffic on Valleyview Drive now leaves Highway 1 at Vicars Road (a very dangerous frontage intersection).

Traffic to Owl Road from west and east on Valleyview Drive travels through a residen-tial area with cars backing out of driveways, bicycle lanes on

both sides, only two-lane traf-fic, a school zone, and the Owl Road intersection on a corner with very poor sight lines.

It has been stated that the life expectancy of the Owl Road dump will be 50 years or more.

We cannot ignore these safe-ty concerns.

As the new Highland Road will be less than half the length of the existing Owl Road, the

costs (maintenance, snow removal, etc.) will be substan-tially less and must be taken into consideration.

Moving access to Highland Drive is a no-brainer.

Hi Kamloops! It’s Boogie season. I’m so excited to tell you that our Boogie training is beginning, with our latest daring adventure

— RUNClub+ for bigger bodies — hitting the street on Monday, March 14.

As most of you know, I love helping others and I’m passionate about movement as a change agent. It’s always been my dream to create a place where we can come together to move not only our bodies, but also our minds, with the goal of change. Boogie training is that place, a community that offers a place to accomplish the impossible and be the best you can be.

Our programs are developed for success and the hardest part is having the courage to start. This past Sunday and Thursday, people did just that: They walked through that door and showed up fully to being brave and ready to live a daring, fun and healthy life. Wow!

Next Monday, we will embark on a new program called RUNClub+ for bigger bodies. Why? Because it’s important and it’s what our team is all about — community health.

Our society today is sedentary. It’s just a fact. We don’t move near as much as we did 25 years ago and we need to help each other through to the other side of healthy living. This program is a safe place to start your journey of movement in an inclusive, supportive and kind environment. During the program, participants will roll up their sleeves for hands-on, interactive explorations of living a more vibrant and healthy life. People will move at a pace that is do-able achievable and safe.

We will knock off the weeks together one step at a time and, through this process, new discoveries and habits will form. Yes, it takes time, but it takes love, too.

As humans, we all want one thing — to be accepted and loved. Each and every one of us needs love and acceptance to be healthy. Our team’s mission statement is unconditional acceptance (love) of all.

Yes, I am smiling from ear to ear because I know that for those people who had the courage to walk through the door this past week and start their spring training, their lives will change, too. I know for those who start with our new program, they will be different when they finish. They will all have new discoveries and new goals and their lives will be shaped by their courage.

Transformational change happens when we choose to move for health and happiness.

When we have the courage to start and the desire to keep moving, our lives are always evolving to new places.

The CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge is a community health initiative. Our passion is to change lives one step at a time. Please join us and embrace change!

It’s a fun way to live. I promise it will make you smile.

SUSAN DUNCANIHA communications

At some point, a person should be able to just give up and lie on the couch, TV control in one hand, popcorn in the other.

What? No, of course I’m not serious. Give your head a shake.

It’s springtime in Kamloops. It’s Boogie season — the time when more than 2,000 people come together to recognize the importance of community health and wellness.

I’ve missed only one Boogie since 2003. I haven’t run them all. I’ve volunteered at a few and that, my friends, is far tougher than running 21K.

For one thing, you have to meet outside at Third Avenue and Victoria Street at 5:30 a.m. on Boogie morning. For another, it’s always freez-ing that early in the morning.

So, I choose to run this year. I was thinking of tackling the half, despite, of

late, being somewhat like the person mentioned above. Then I heard the ghostly voice of Jo Berry whispering in my ear, “Too much too soon — the curse of many an injured runner.”

With that, I’ve decided it will be the 10K run for me on April 24.

More likely it will be the 10K slog because, guaranteed, I won’t be setting records for speed, but that doesn’t matter.

The fun of Boogie in the spring is being part of a movement that passionately celebrates health

I hope you will join us.

DOUG COLLINSBroadcast Centre news director

I am really excited about finally being able to participate in the CFJC-TV Boogie.

For many years, I have suffered serious problems with mobility because of obesity and arthritis. Three years ago, I was also diagnosed with atrial fibrillation.

So, “running” was not a word in my vocabulary and Boogie didn’t seem to be a possibility. But this year, with Jo Berry’s emphasis on widening the scope of the Boogie to include people who have issues like mine, it becomes an opportunity to improve my health at a rate that fits in with what I’m capable of doing.

There are lots of us out there afraid to become involved with something like Boogie because we are intimidated by something we perceive as impossible to do because we have health issues, are older and feel that we don’t fit in with all those “healthy” people.

I’ve tackled lots of things in 50 years of broadcasting, but this rates as one of the biggest challenges.

When I was heavily involved in playing sports in high school, exercise was a part of my daily life, but over the years, as mobility declined, exercise was lower and lower on the priority list.

I’m looking forward to getting another chance and look forward to letting everyone know how we progress.

Let’s Boogie!

KATHY SINCLAIRKamloops Arts Council ED

True confession: I’m not the athletic type. In school phys-ed classes, I was the kid whose thick glasses were constantly getting knocked off her face by a volleyball/softball/basketball. I may not have been the last picked for teams, but I was usually second-last. Running? Not on my radar. I was much happier reading Nancy Drew in the corner.

Several years of desk work later, I came to the startling realization that I’d better find a way to start moving. Muscle tension in my back and shoulders was making everyday life painful.

A couple of years ago, I joined RunClub. I loved the encouraging atmosphere, the gentle approach (who knew it was OK to walk three minutes and run one?) and the social connection. My physical health improved and with it came a huge boost in my mental health.

But then I stopped running. It’s time to get going again.

As executive director of the Kamloops Arts Council, the organization that produces the Crossing Bridges Outreach (one of this year’s Boogie the Bridge recipients), I’m even more motivated to get in shape for Boogie this year.

Crossing Bridges takes arts workshops to children, youth and families in crisis and at risk. Our artists provide the space, skills and tools for individuals to heal, build self-esteem, connect with others and safely explore what they’re going through, be it mental-health challenges, abuse, addiction, poverty or settling as a newcomer to Canada.

Art changes lives — and movement is change. I’m pretty psyched to start training again. Trust me, if I can do it, chances are you can, too.

I promise — Boogie will make you smile

Until then, the health-services director said, it had just been a massive dull grey concrete structure in front of his work-place.

But with the earth-tone facade starting to cover the building, it became something else, he said.

It was no longer just a construction site, but a part of the hospital, one into which staff and services should start moving this summer. The goal is to start moving into the space in May, open the underground parkade on July 25 and have clinics relo-cated by Aug. 15.

Media, local politicians, Interior Health Authority executives and some hospital administrators were given a tour last Friday of the $80-million structure, one that will be home to RIH outpatient and diagnostic

services including intravenous therapy, lab work, community respiratory therapy, chronic-pain clinics and pre-surgical screening.

The three-floor parkade will have room for 350 vehicles and will include a counter that will alert incoming vehicles how many stalls are vacant.

The UBC medical program will also relocate to the new building, with class-rooms, a simulation room and a 120-seat amphitheatre on its floor, meeting space that will also be used by hospital staff for other meetings.

While video-conferencing is now done in meeting rooms with some monitors rolled into place, the theatre will have a dual-screen projection feature.

Friday’s tour included a stop on the walkway connecting the building to the second floor of the hospital — and gave Health Minister Terry Lake a chance to dis-play his perception as he noticed the walk-way has a slight slope down as it connects to the hospital.

Construction staff said there is a 1.5 per cent grade, something that results

from the nature of the site. While it may require a bit more exertion

for people in wheelchairs headed to the clinical services building, “it’s easier than the road,” said Mayor Peter Milobar.

The structure will include its own staff room with lockers and a kitchenette, Kristjanson said, and an additional feature many in the hospital are looking forward to — an outside patio area facing onto Columbia Street and overlooking a green roof of vegetation streetside.

Kristjanson said the existing series of steps from Columbia Street to the main RIH floor will remain for those who want the exercise.

Landscaping will be done beside it.Milobar said he was impressed with

what he saw, a sentiment echoed by oth-ers as they walked through what is still a construction site, but one where counters are being built, rolls of flooring wait to be installed and much of the painting is com-plete.

Space in RIH vacated by services mov-ing into the new building will be used for other medical purposes, Kristjanson said.

Summer opening for RIH expansionDALE BASS STAFF [email protected]

Public will use Columbia Street parkadeWhen the new parkade opens at Royal Inland

Hospital in July, the one many have grumbled about for years will become a staff parking lot.

The 350-stall parking facility being built beneath the hospital’s clinical-services building is scheduled to open to the public on July 25.

When that occurs, the 253-stall main parkade at the rear of the hospital will have only three public spots — all designated for renal patients.

Trevor Speed, Interior Health Authority manager of protection, parking and fleet services, said the decision was made to give the public one destination when they head to the hospital rather than having to decide between two sites.

There are also six public spots at Hillside Centre and 23 stalls in the emergency room area.

The new parkade means a 43 per cent increase in public-parking spaces, Speed said, and will include 27 handicapped-parking spots.

The parkade will also see a return to the former payment system, with a gate at the exit.

Pay stations will remain in the hospital, but will also be located in the parking area.

The parkade will have closed-circuit television coverage and panic buttons tied directly into hospital security.

The bleachers rumbled with stomping feet as the final sec-onds ticked off the clock.

The buzzer sounded and Volodymyr Iegorov and Josh Wolfram climbed into the

crowd of more than 600, already standing in an ovation.

Iegorov raised his arms above his head and bellowed.

Elsewhere, half a dozen elementary-children got on their knees, bending at the waist in bows as the Thompson Rivers WolfPack left the court at the Tournament Capital Centre, on their way to the Canada West Final Four.

The WolfPack defeated the Regina Cougars 86-73, capturing Game 3 of their Canada West quarter-final on Saturday night and punched their ticket to the Final Four championship for the first time in school history.

Entering the locker room after the cel-ebrations that followed, it was TRU presi-dent Alan Shaver and athletics director Ken Olynyk who addressed the team before head coach Scott Clark, a nod to the gravity of what the men’s basketball team had just accomplished.

“Well, congratulations. They had a fan-tastic season,” Shaver said, asked what his message to the WolfPack was.

“I think that some people thought they lost the game on Thursday just to make it interesting and have two [wins] on Friday and Saturday, just to make it good for the home crowd.”

A beaming Olynyk turned his atten-tion to the WolfPack’s first opponent at the Final Four in Calgary on Friday, the UBC Thunderbirds. A win against the T-Birds, who also finished the regular season at 16-4, would give TRU a berth in the Canadian Interuniversity Sport national champion-ship in Vancouver later this month.

“It’s on them right now and I really believe they’ll come through and we’re going to be in Vancouver . . . getting after it and going after our first national champion-ship in basketball,” the athletic director told KTW.

It has been almost six years since Scott Clark was installed as the head basketball coach for the men’s basketball program at Thompson Rivers University and since that moment, the sport has been taken to a new

level on the Kamloops campus.In 2013-2014, the Wolves made the post-

season for the first time in school history, losing a best-of-three series on the road against the Saskatchewan Huskies.

The 2014-2015 campaign saw the Pack take another step, playing host to, and win-ning, a Canada West playoff series, before losing in the quarter-finals, dropping the third-and-deciding game against the same Huskies.

Now, in 2015-2016, Thompson Rivers has again reached new heights. The Wolves finished atop the Canada West’s Explorer Division with a 16-4 record, earning their

first opportunity to be home to a quarter-final series.

After dropping the first game of the weekend 102-94, Clark and company rebounded to win 90-85 in Game 2 and 86-73 in the series-deciding bout.

And though the Wolves were up by 13 when the final buzzer sounded at the Tournament Capital Centre on Saturday night, Game 3 was no walk in the park.

“It’s tight, but it’s playoff basketball — you have to know that’s what’s going to come,” Clark said after the game.

“You know they’re going to make a run. Nobody is going to roll over. They’re

competitors and hats off to them — this was their sixth game in nine days and they could have rolled over. They didn’t. Credit to them.”

Despite his disappointment, Cougars head coach Steve Burrows said he was proud of Regina’s effort in the post-season.

His club needed three games to win their play-in series against the Winnipeg Wesmen — coming back from losing the first contest — and were again taken to a third match against the WolfPack on Saturday.

“At no point — honestly, this season, but for sure this weekend — would I have ever questioned my guys’ effort,” Burrows said.

“They showed great character. That was their sixth game in nine days. They battled. They battled hard. They’ve got nothing to be ashamed of.”

In the moments following the contest, milling about family and friends on the then-empty court at the TCC, it was some of the WolfPack’s veterans who were finally able to bask in the feeling of winning a Canada West quarter-final.

For Reese Pribilsky and Wolfram, it was their third trip to the quarter-finals in WolfPack orange and black, but the first time they were able to leave the court with another playoff date on the horizon.

“It’s an indescribable feeling,” Wolfram said.

The 6-foot-10 forward returned to his hometown Kamloops three years ago after beginning his university basketball career at the University of Calgary.

Now, he returns to the Alberta city for the Final Four, hosted by his former team, but as a key piece of another squad. Wolfram finished Saturday with 15 rebounds and 15 points for his second double-double of the series.

“To come three years ago, this is a dream come true, to win a playoff series on our home court and to head to the Canada West Final Four,” he said.

“You can’t even describe the feeling. It’s amazing.”

Pribilsky, meanwhile, was on the Victoria Vikes roster in 2012-2013, when the club made an appearance in the Final Four, before eventually losing to the Thunderbirds in the gold-medal game.

With the WolfPack, Pribilsky could be considered the undisputed leader. He twice scored more than 25 points in the Pack’s series against the Cougars and played in excess 30 minutes on all three nights.

Most of the current Kamloops Blazers weren’t around the last time victory tasted this sweet.

With a 3-2 win over the Kelowna Rockets on Saturday — Kamloops’ first regular-sea-son triumph in the Little Apple since Feb. 16, 2013 — the Blazers took a giant step toward sealing a spot in the WHL playoffs.

“Those are two huge games and four huge points for us,” said Blazers’ goaltender Connor Ingram, who stopped 44 shots on Saturday, following a 53-save performance in his club’s 3-2 victory over the Rockets at Sandman Centre on Friday.

“That’s the first time I’ve ever seen a win in that building and that’s a huge time to do it,” Ingram continued.

“They’re always one of the top teams in the division, but those points meant more to us than they did to them.”

The message from ownership down was clear heading into the 2015-2016 campaign: It’s playoffs or bust.

It has been a roller-coaster ride since September, but head coach Don Hay seems

to be pushing the right buttons at the right time and his team is on the verge of reach-ing the post-season for the first time since 2013.

With six games left on its slate, Kamloops (32-25-9) is in the Western Conference’s first wild-card spot and is four points ahead of the Spokane Chiefs.

The Blazers are three points in arrears of the Prince George Cougars, who sit third in the B.C. Division, and eight points ahead of the Tri-City Americans, who are ninth in the West.

Perhaps the tedious maturation process of this young Blazers’ group is hastening at an ideal time. Examples are not hard to find.

Jermaine Loewen’s growth in the last month alone has been remarkable. He has fought three times in Kamloops’ last five games — losing none of them — and the 18-year-old Jamaican-born forward scored a highlight-reel goal in a 5-0 victory over Spokane at Sandman Centre on March 2.

Tournament Capital product Nick Chyzowski, 18, scored important goals in both games against Kelowna, his marker on Saturday the result of hard work in front of the net.

In Game 3, Pribilsky very nearly fouled out of the contest in the third quarter, but man-aged to stick around and lead the club down the stretch. He was even better early in the game, making five of his first seven shots and scoring 14 in the first quarter to get the Wolves off to a solid lead.

He finished the game with a team-leading 27 points.

“The key is to come in confident. I know my teammates have confidence in me, I have confidence in myself,” he said.

The fifth-year point-guard turned his atten-tion to those who have come before him when reflecting on the signif-icance of the victory.

“It’s wonderful. It’s fantastic to be a part of that,” Pribilsky said.

“It’s great for the school, it’s obviously great for our team and

it says a lot about the people that put on the white and orange before us.”

Regardless of how they fare at the Final Four, the 2015-2016 WolfPack will go down as one of the most successful teams in athletics history at Thompson Rivers, cer-tainly on the basketball court.

Asked of the sig-nificance of his team’s series victory, Clark turned the attention to

his players, the same athletes who were moments earlier soak-ing up the adulation of a raucous crowd, being bowed to by elementa-ry students and giving the crowd a hand for its support.

“It’s big for the kids,” Clark said. “I think they set out a goal at the begin-ning of the year and whenever you do that, there’s some satisfac-tion.

“It’s fun.”

Evidence of both Hay’s button-pushing proficiency and the Blazers’ coming of age can be found in Garrett Pilon, a healthy scratch when the Vancouver Giants came to town on March 12.

The 17-year-old forward from Saskatoon responded in a big way, scoring the game-win-ning goal at Sandman Centre on Friday in front of a national audience, the Blazers wearing CCM Propac full-length pants in a B.C. Division showdown televised on Sportsnet, and tal-lying the game winner with 38.9 seconds remaining in Kelowna on Saturday, a goal set up by captain Matt Needham.

“It was time for me to refo-cus my game and come back

better,” Pilon said. “I was play-ing average. I had to think about how I could be better.

“These are two really big wins for us. We were really motivated to beat them.”

It can be argued Saturday’s victory was the franchise’s most noteworthy since April 23, 2013, when the Blazers scored their most-recent post-season win — 5-1 over the Portland Winterhawks in Game 3 of the 2013 Western Conference final.

Days of our Lives writers might be envious of the saga that began unfolding on Mark Recchi Way after that high-water mark, but a return to respectability — and to the post-season — might be in the script for the next episode.

“It’s been a long road since

the start of the year,” Ingram said. “It sure feels a lot better now than when we were 0-6.”

There is still work to be done.

Kamloops will be look-ing for its fourth straight win tonight against hometown Tri-City, one that would crush the Americans’ already tenuous hopes of making the playoffs.

Ingram balked at the idea of the tilt being a potential trap game, saying a let-down perfor-mance after two vital victories is not in the cards.

“I don’t think we’ll have that problem,” the 18-year-old Imperial, Sask., product said.

“We’re in Tri-City and we’re in Spokane [tomorrow]. Those are two teams we’re in the play-off race with.”

TRY TIMECole Greer helped the Kamloops Raiders to a 35-24 victory over Simon Fraser University in Division 3 B.C. Rugby Union play on Saturday at the Tournament Capital Ranch, the diminutive scrum-half scoring this match-winning try with about 10 minutes left in the second half. The try followed a Herculean effort from the Raiders’ forward pack, which overpowered SFU in a maul that gained more than 20 metres and created a platform for Greer’s darting run to paydirt. Kamloops is next in action on March 19, when Kats Rugby Club of Kitsilano comes to town. That match will get underway at 1 p.m. The Raiders’ women will also be in action that day, playing host to Meraloma Rugby Club of Vancouver.

Leah Turner of the Kamloops Long Blades had an inspi-rational effort at the B.C. Speed Skating Association Short Track Championships, held on the weekend at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

Turner fell early in her race and slid into the boards, seemingly bringing to an end her chase for a top-two finish.

But she returned to her feet and resumed her pursuit, passing one skater, then anoth-er, then another, leav-ing her in third place.

Needing a second-place finish to advance from her heat, Turner

kept on pushing.She moved into the

No. 2 spot and took the lead before disaster struck again.

Turner was exhaust-ed. She stumbled and fell. Everyone passed her.

In tears, she rose up once again and contin-ured toward the finish line, which she crossed in last place.

“In my mind — and certainly to anyone watching — she has the true heart of a cham-pion, even if she didn’t get the medal to prove it,” KTW photographer Allen Douglas said.

The South Kamloops Titans placed fifth at the B.C. High School Junior Girls Basketball Championship in Langley on the week-end.

South Kam, which was eliminated from championship con-tention with a loss to Walnut Grove in Round 2, topped Sullivan Heights of Surrey 47-36 to place fifth.

Lauren Walkley, Katherine Walkley and Maddy Gobeil each had 13 points against Sullivan Heights, while Paetyn Freeze and Olivia Morgan-Cherchas pitched in with strong perfor-mances.

South Kamloops was 31-4 on the season.

Titans’ players Max Kopytko, Katherine Walkley, Gobeil, Lexi Foley-Norris, Lauren Walkley, Anika Komarniski, Kaitlin Ramsay, Paetyn Freeze, Mya Onyango, Morgan-Cherchas, Amy Pehl and Eva Fitschen were coached by Maya Olynyk.

The Argyle Pipers of North Vancouver edged Walnut Grove 71-65 in the gold-medal game.

National nomineeFor the third

time this season, Connor Ingram of the Kamloops Blazers is the WHL’s nomi-nee for the Vaughn CHL Goaltender of

the Week Award.Ingram, a 1997-

born netminder from Imperial, Sask., posted a record of 3-0-0-0 with a 1.33 goals-against average and .969 save percentage in the sev-en-day period ending March 6.

Ingram turned aside all 27 shots he faced to lead the Blazers to a 5-0 shutout victory over the Spokane Chiefs on Wednesday, made 53 saves in a 3-2 victory over visiting Kelowna on Friday and 44 stops in a 3-2 win over the hometown Rockets on Saturday.

The Kamloops netminder is in his second WHL campaign and boasts a 50-36-7-7 record, with seven shutouts in 108 regular-season appearances.

He was the WHL nominee for the CHL goaltender of the week award for the peri-ods ending Dec. 13, when Jack Flinn of the Mississauga Steelheads won, and Feb. 14, when Leo Lazarev of the Ottawa 67’s got the nod.

Titans fifth at hoops provincials

British Columbians are urged to help make Lumby Kraft Hockeyville.

The village and its bid to upgrade Pat Duke Memorial Arena made the top 10 finalists for Kraft Hockeyville 2016. It is the only B.C. town on the list.

“We need provincewide support,” said Angie Clowry, one of the cam-paign organizers in Lumby.

“We have help called in from communities across the province.”

The winner will receive an NHL pre-season game and $100,000 in arena upgrades. Second prize is $100,000 in arena upgrades, while the remaining eight arenas each will get $25,000 in arena upgrades.

Voting opens on March 13 at 6 a.m. and closes March 14 at 9 p.m.to decide on the two finalists.

When voting opens, you can cast your ballot at http://khv2016.ca/

The Village of Lumby is helping spread the word about the two-day voting session.

“We want to get everyone involved,” said Mayor Kevin Acton.

“I have sent letters to all mayors in B.C. and we hope they will support small town B.C.”

If Lumby receives the funds, the goal is to ensure a proper change room at Pat Duke Memorial Arena for female hockey players.

“Their eight-foot-by-10-foot closet area that up to four teams may share at a time is not enough,” said Clowry.

“Creating a space for our girls who play hockey now and in the future is important as they are a strong and vital part of our teams. And more are signing up to play every year.”

The other top 10 communities are St. Laurent, Man., Martensville, Sask., Okotoks, Alta., St. Paul, Alta., Toronto, Ont., Brockville, Ont., Oromocto, N.B., Tatamagouche, N.S. and Saint-Isidore, Que.

LOS ANGELES — Tennis star Maria Sharapova says she failed a drug test at the Australian Open.

The five-time major cham-pion took full responsibility for her mistake when she made the announcement at a news con-ference Monday in Los Angeles. The former world No. 1 could face a lengthy ban from the International Tennis Federation.

“I know that with this, I face consequences,’’ Sharapova said.

“I don’t want to end my career this way and I really hope I will be given another chance to play this game.’’

The 28-year-old Sharapova said she tested positive for mel-donium, which she said she has been taking for 10 years for numerous health issues.

Meldonium, thought to be

widely used by Russian athletes, became a banned substance this year under the WADA code.

Sharapova claimed she didn’t notice its addition to the banned list.

“I take great responsibility and professionalism in my job, and I made a huge mistake,’’ Sharapova said. “I let my fans down. I let the sport down that I’ve been playing since the age of

4, that I love so deeply.”Meldonium, also known

as mildronate, is a Latvian-manufactured drug popular for fighting heart disease in former Soviet Union countries.

Meldonium treats ischemia, or lack of blood flow, but can be taken in large doses as a perfor-mance-enhancer that increases exercise capacity.

Sharapova’s penalties could range from a multiyear ban to a minimal sanction with no sus-pension if officials believe she made an honest mistake. WADA President Craig Reedie told The Associated Press that any athlete found guilty of using meldonium would normally face a one-year suspension.

The ITF’s anti-doping pro-gram announced in a state-ment that Sharapova will be provisionally suspended starting this weekend while her case is examined.

WASHINGTON — In the end, Robert Griffin III was just another name on a list, one of four players released by the Washington Redskins yesterday to create salary-cap space.

The move, expected for some time, brings an end to the quarterback’s sudden-rise-and-stunning-fall saga with a team that traded a bevy of draft picks to acquire him — and now receives nothing in return as he departs. The move gets Griffin’s 2016 contract, worth about $16 million, off

the payroll before tomorrow, when the new league year begins and free agents can be signed.

It also closes the book on RG3’s tumultuous tenure in Washington. He arrived as a Heisman Trophy winner and the No. 2 overall choice in the 2012 NFL draft — a pick that came from the Rams at the high price of three first-round selec-tions plus a second-rounder — and immediately became a star and national sensation.

He leaves having spent all of last season on the sideline, never allowed to take so much as a single snap during a game.

As a free agent, he can sign anywhere.

SHARAPOVA TESTS POSITIVEGREG BEACHAM THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — His voice cracking with emotion, Peyton Manning said goodbye to the game he loved at a news conference packed with friends, family and laughter.

He threw in some Scripture, some fond memories and even a dig at Super Bowl 50 MVP Von Miller, whom he thanked for taking a break “from your celebrity tour to be here today.’’

He ended it with his signature “Omaha!’’ and then posed for pic-tures with more than a dozen of his former teammates with the Indianapolis Colts and Denver Broncos, each of whom he helped

win a Super Bowl.Manning, who turns

40 this month, said the timing was simply right to call an end to his 18-year NFL career.

“I thought about it a lot, prayed about it a lot . . . it was just the right time,’’ Manning said. “I don’t throw as good as I used to, don’t run as good as I used to, but I have always have had good timing.’’

He came to Denver on March 20, 2012, for the chance to win another title in the twilight of his career and GM John Elway had the blueprints.

Four years later, he hobbles away a cham-pion just like his boss did 17 years ago.

Elway thanked Manning for coming to Colorado for the second chapter of his

brilliant career, say-ing he made his own job easier, noting that with Manning living here, free agents were basically asking Elway, “Where do I sign?’’

Manning went 50-15 in Denver, lead-ing the Broncos to four AFC West titles, two Super Bowl trips, one championship and in 2013 guided the highest-scoring offence in league history — all after retraining himself to throw after a series of neck fusion surgeries forced him to miss all of the 2011 season and led the Colts to cut him.

Manning choked up several times, espe-cially when he listed all the things he’d miss about football.

WILHELMINA MARIE STRIJACK

Wilhelmina Marie Strijack passed away peacefully at Ponderosa Lodge Thursday, February 18, 2016 at the age of 77 years, after her battle with cancer.

She is lovingly remembered by her daughters Vicky Kehoe (John) of Cochrane, AB, Deidra Walls (Ben) of Penticton, BC and her son Dave Strijack (Barb) of Sherwood Park, AB and her treasured grandchildren Ryan and Logan Kehoe and Calista Strijack. Her sisters Lena Megar and Lillian Hills both of Osoyoos.

Born in Lost River, Saskatchewan on December 8, 1938. She was a resident of Oliver before moving to Kamloops when she retired from nursing.

Better known as Willy by her family and friends and “Flash” by her co-workers at the South Okanagan Hospital in Oliver where she worked in the extended care unit for 25 years. A true caregiver, she cared deeply for “her” residents there making sure they all got homemade goodies on their birthdays and homemade soup if they were ill. Following this caregiving tradition she devoted her time volunteering at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops as well as Christmas Amalgamated and The Pythian Sisters.

Willy’s love of nature is shown in the spectacular garden she tended whose bounty she shared with everyone and also in some of the beautiful embroidery, stitchery and paper tole she created. In her later years she took up quilting and many of her pieces of fabric art were eagerly donated to fundraise within the communities of Oliver and Kamloops.

Her love for family and friends was shown in her generosity of her time to help out in anything asked of her and her willingness to share her wonderful baking skills at any event she attended.

A Celebration of her Life will be held on Saturday, March 12, 2016 at noon (12:00 pm) in the Schoening Funeral Chapel, 513 Seymour Street.

JEAN ANNETTE BRODERIt is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Jean Annette Broder on Wednesday, February 24th, 2016 at The Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops, BC.

Jean is survived by her two children, daughter Terica (Larry) Hanna of Kamloops, Tom (Kristy) Broder of Harrogate, granddaughters Amber Black of Kamloops and Josephene Broder of Harrogate, brother Ray (Alice) Miller of Prince George and brother Earl (Tracy) Miller of Kamloops, as well as many relations in Western and Central Canada.

Jean was predeceased by her husband Joseph Broder and her parents Thomas Edison (Alberta) Miller.

Jean was born on March 16th, 1939 in Chilliwack, BC. Their home at the time was at Vedder Mountain. Her mother Alberta had to be transported by railway speeder from Vedder Mountain to Vedder Crossing, and then by car to Chilliwack for Jean’s birth. Jean’s father, Thomas Miller worked at a few jobs and then finally settled in as a telegraph operator which took her to various locations in Western Canada. It wasn’t unusual for her family to be living in a train station on the side of the tracks in places such as Albreda, Lucerne, Wire Cache and Messiter.

She met her husband Joseph Broder through the love of music. She and Joe, along with Harold Princehouse and Louis Latremouille (aka Joe’s Trio) would provide music for a number of years in the North Thompson Valley in places such as McLure, Barriere and Avola. On July 20th, 1957 Jean and Joe were joined in holy matrimony by Father Quigley in Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Little Fort, BC. In 1960 Jean moved to Blue River with Joe as he was working for CN Rail as a car checker. In 1962 Jean and Joe made the long journey to Vancouver to adopt a beautiful new daughter Terica Lynn. That same year they moved to Kamloops where Joe had secured a job as a ticket agent for CN. In 1966 Jean and Joe were blessed with a natural child Thomas Eugene.

In the early years when Terica and Thomas were young, Jean and Joe opened their doors to many foster children while they were waiting to be adopted. Jean was kept busy with all of the housework, baking and child rearing. There were also many activities that she enjoyed such as tobogganing, ice fishing, skiing, skating and many years of camping. She also enjoyed going to bingo quite a lot. The fun did have a toll on Jean as she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and osteoarthritis. It didn’t stop her from employment with the Provincial Government at Tranquille Sanatorium. Her duties there included dietician, laundry and sewing. Eventually her arthritis got the best of her and she went on permanent disability. Not letting her disability stop her, Jean started going to karaoke which she enjoyed very much. Many locals will remember her as “Jeannie Bee” with her trademark song being “Boots” by Nancy Sinatra. She would always be wearing a different wild outfit and even had regular fans. Her family would sometimes join in the fun and singing. She entertained until just after she was widowed in May of 2009. She spent her final years residing at her home where she had some battles with heart, stomach and kidney ailments. She became quite dependant on her daughter Terica who regularly cared for her. She remained at home until her journey was complete.

A Celebration of Life will be held for Jean in July, where she will be reunited with Joe on their anniversary.

In lieu of flowers, we ask that a donation be made to The Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home in Kamloops, BC.

She Walksin Beauty

LORD BYRON

She walks in beauty, like the nightOf cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that’s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellowed to that tender lightWhich heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,Had half impaired the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet expressHow pure, how dear their dwelling place.

And on the cheek, and o’er that brow,So soft, so calm, so eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow;But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love

is innocent!


NATIONAL NEWS

Trade, climate, Arctic: topics for Mulroney, Reagan and now for Trudeau, Obama

OTTAWA — The ‘80s are back in fashion, television and movies — and maybe now in direct diplomacy, too.

That decade saw former Canadian prime minister Brian Mulroney and for-mer U.S. president Ronald Reagan forge a personal friendship through state dinners and summits that would outlast their years in office.

But the personal rela-tionship also provided the foundation for sev-eral landmark Canada-U.S. deals.

The topics on the table then are some of the same ones current Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and cur-rent U.S. President Barack Obama are expected to be discussing at the state din-ner in Washington, D.C. this week — trade, the environ-

ment and the Arctic.The meeting is a good

sign, Mulroney said.“Not much happens

on the international scale between Canada and the United States if there’s not a personal relationship between the president and the prime minister,’’ he said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

The Canada-U.S. free trade deal, the acid rain accord and an agreement on Arctic sovereignty all would have been harder to achieve without a personal relationship, Mulroney said.

“Those who tell you that it is unimportant for

Canada as to whether you have a prime minister who has a good relation-ship with the president or not doesn’t have a clue what he’s talking about,’’ Mulroney said.

“Good things happen in the American administra-tion when the president of the United States says the prime minister of Canada and Canada is my friend and I want to see these things happen.’’

The 1988 agreement on the Northwest Passage was a case in point.

In the early 1980s, the U.S. was of the view the Northwest Passage was

international waters, but Canada disagreed. After a U.S. coast guard ship travelled through without getting formal permission from Canada, Mulroney began to aggressively lobby the Americans to see things his way.

When Reagan visited Ottawa in 1987, Mulroney showed him a globe, pointed to the route and asked Reagan how it could be considered international waters if it froze over and people could walk on it.

As the story goes, Reagan then told his aides he wanted to say something nice about the passage in

his upcoming speech to Parliament.

“Well the Americans just about went nuts. That was the last thing they wanted to hear,’’ recalls Derek Burney, Mulroney’s former chief of staff.

But they went off to draft a paragraph for the speech on finding a solution and the eventual upshot was the 1988 agreement that would require the U.S. to ask permission for future ice breakers to cross those waters.

Obama and Trudeau’s conversations on the Arctic are more likely to revolve around the environment than sovereignty.

Burney said he thinks there is room for another coming together of per-spectives on the need for environmental protection of the Arctic.

“There’s a lot of poten-tial. But it needs to be prod-

ded from the top or it won’t happen,’’ he said.

Other topics up for dis-cussion this Wednesday are broader climate change negotiations, the future of the Trans Pacific Partnership and border security.

While Mulroney and Reagan’s terms in office overlapped by a full five years, the Trudeau-Obama relationship will be shorter lived as the U.S. will chose a new president this fall.

Whether the next admin-istration will take any cues from it remains to be seen, Mulroney said, but that doesn’t negate the power of Obama’s invite.

“Even if the president is only going to be there for a number of months this is an important tribute to Canada and to the man-ner in which the president views the relationship,’’ he said.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kim Cattrall mistaken for Trudeau’s mother

on 60 Minutes

The venerable CBS news-magazine aired a profile piece on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Sunday evening.

For the most part, it cast Canada’s new leader in a glowing light ahead of his

visit to Washington where on Thursday he’ll be the hon-oured White House guest at a state dinner hosted by President Barack Obama.

But there was one gaffe in the 60 Minutes piece that had

Canadians taking to Twitter. While the CBS reporter was talking about the prime min-ister’s parents — Pierre and Margaret Trudeau — the show displayed an old photograph of Pierre Elliott on a date with

actress Kim Cattrall in 1981.Cattrall took it with a sense

of humour, tweeting “I have a son who is the Prime Minister of Canada? I couldn’t b more proud.’’

Trudeau won’t pick a fight with Donald TrumpTORONTO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau refused to weigh in yesterday on some of the nastier policies pushed by U.S. presidential hope-ful Donald Trump, but he did suggest some questions Americans might want to be ask-ing themselves.

Pressed to dis-cuss Trump’s views, Trudeau said it was not his place to take on the brash billionaire-turned-politician who has advocated tortur-ing terrorists, barring Muslims from the U.S. and deporting millions of illegal Mexicans and their families.

“If I were an American, I’d be asking questions right now about why is it that

so many people are angry at your politics,’’ Trudeau said.

“Why is it that so many people are so disenfranchised with your democracy that they seem to be acting out or lashing out?’’

Trudeau, speaking during a townhall-style meeting with the Huffington Post in Toronto, said he was watching the presiden-

tial race closely to see how Americans deal with what he called a “very real set of issues around frustration toward the body poli-tic.’’

The Liberal PM invoked the populist approach taken by former Toronto mayor Rob Ford, whose anti-elitist rhetoric resonat-ed with many people even as he buckled under the weight of a crack-cocaine scandal and derision from those opposed to his public vulgarity.

“There were a lot of people who didn’t get it,’’ Trudeau said of Ford. “But he tapped into a very real and legitimate sense that people had around who politicians were.’’

In fact, Trudeau said, he himself tapped

into that same unhap-piness during his own election campaign last fall, but in what he described as a more positive way.

Ultimately, he said, he was “touched’’ anyone might think he has any sway with Trump supporters but he would have to work with whoever becomes the next president.

“I’m not going to pick a fight with Donald Trump right now,’’ he said.

“I’m not going to support him either, obviously.’’

Trudeau, who is headed to the White House for a gala state dinner Thursday host-ed by U.S. President Barack Obama, also said Americans should take a look at the role of campaign

financing in politics after the November election.

Presidential candi-dates raise billions in financing and court special interests, something the PM said Canada no longer allows.

In recent years, he said, Canada has barred corporate and union donations and capped individual con-tributions to political parties.

“That changes the entire structure around politics and the obligations of fundraising for incum-bents and the power of special interests and lobbyists,’’ Trudeau said.

“When the dust settles after November, however it settles, a conversation about

the role of campaign financing in estab-lishing a successful democracy is, I think, going to be merited.’’

Trudeau said he had faith in Americans and their approach to their politics.

“I prefer to trust that my American friends will exercise their democratic rights with the wisdom of crowds that always ends up coming through in a democ-racy,’’ Trudeau said.

“My job as prime minister is going to be to work with whoever gets elected.’’

In Ottawa, Conservative foreign affairs critic Tony Clement said he thinks he knows how this week’s Washington visit is going to go: Trudeau and Obama

will announce a bilat-eral strategy that will never see the light of day in the U.S.

“The problem is President Obama can-not deliver on that strategy. He’s eight months away from retirement. He can-not get things through Congress. They will not co-operate with him,’’ Clement said.

“So for Justin Trudeau to wave a piece of paper in his hand and say to the Canadian population, ‘I have a strategy that will be implemented with the United States,’ is pure fiction. But that’s the fiction he’s going to try to peddle.

“Mark my words.’’

TORONTO — A pair of panda cubs born in a Toronto zoo have been named in honour of the country of their birth.

In a ceremony packed with dignitaries, the zoo announced the male cub is named Jia Panpan (JUH PAN’-pan), mean-ing Canadian Hope, while the female cub is named Jia Yueyue (JUH YOU’-you), meaning Canadian Joy.

The event also marked the cubs’ first public appearance since their birth last fall.

Prime Minister Justin

Trudeau and Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne were among those getting the first glimpse of the cubs, who have been held in a special maternity area since their birth last October.

Both posed for photos with the cubs — an opportu-nity Trudeau joked his children would envy.

The prime minister called the cubs a symbol of Canada’s strengthening relationship with China, noting he had received a message of congratulations from his Chinese counterpart.

The cubs marked their 100th day in January and are now con-sidered to have survived their infancy.

Their mother, Er Shun, is on loan from China. She and a male panda named Da Mao arrived in 2013.

A special committee was set up to compile possible moni-kers, which were then put to a public vote.

The cubs are set to be intro-duced to the general public this weekend.

Canadian space industry asks Liberals for more funding

MONTREAL — An organiza-tion that represents firms in the Canadian space sector is ask-ing the Liberal government to reinvest in the industry to help it regain ground lost to its com-petitors in recent years.

Marc Boucher, executive director of the Canadian Space Commerce Association, said Canada has fallen behind other countries in terms of research and development spending as a portion of GDP.

“We have to keep investing at least as much as everyone else so we foster new technologies and innovations,’’ Boucher said in an interview.

“To make that happen there has to be a recognition on the Canadian government’s part that this has to be an important part of the economy.’’

In February, his organization provided a pre-budget submis-sion to the House of Commons Standing Commission on Finance in which it is requesting a $25-million annual increase in the Canadian Space Agency’s development program for the next four years.

Boucher said more invest-ment is needed to ensure the country keeps developing new technologies in areas like small satellites, which are used for everything from telecommuni-cations to banking to crop man-agement.

“We have geographically a large country and we’re just starting to realize how much satellites can help us in terms of security, in terms of agriculture, in terms of disaster response,’’ he said.

His organization’s budget submission also asks the federal

government to fund a university-led satellite design contest, with a commitment to launching the winning entry into space.

“Those students are the future workforce,’’ he said.

“We need to keep them in Canada instead of having them move on to other coun-tries.’’

Boucher is also calling on the Liberals to honour their election promise to collaborate with the industry on a long-term space plan.

In September, then-MP Marc Garneau, who has since been named Transport Minister, told The Canadian Press that such a plan should include “a very strong signal that Canada is going to use space to help us, particularly with respect to the environmental changes that are occurring on our planet and in our oceans.’’

Alberta set to roll out climate change legislation, details on carbon tax

EDMONTON — Details of who pays what when Alberta brings in a new $3-billion a year carbon tax are to be released in the upcoming legislature session, says government house leader Brian Mason.

Mason said the session, which begins today, is to see the government bring forward legislation as the next step toward implementing the carbon tax.

The tax is set to begin next Jan. 1.“It will enact the [carbon] levy. It will provide

for rebates to individuals and to small business. It will create a new energy efficiency agency and it will empower the allocation of money to other [funds],’’ Mason said yesterday at the legislature.

Legislation will give regulatory teeth to the cli-mate change plan announced by Premier Rachel Notley in the fall.

The plan aims to reduce carbon emissions through new and increased taxes and by phasing out coal-fired electricity generation by 2030.

The carbon tax is to be on everything from gas at the pumps to home heating and electricity bills.

The government has promised to provide rebates to low- and middle-income earners and small businesses.

It’s estimated that 60 per cent of Albertans will get at least some financial relief.

The tax is to collect an estimated $3 billion a year when it is fully implemented by 2018.

In November, the government predicted the changes would cost the average household $320 in 2017 and rise to $470 in 2018.

Some of the tax is to be redirected to green technology and efficiencies.

Wildrose house leader Nathan Cooper said the tax is making things worse for a province losing tens of thousands of jobs due to the continuing low price of oil.

“This carbon tax is and will directly harm Alberta’s families, seniors and businesses that are already struggling,’’ said Cooper.

The Wildrose estimates the carbon tax will cost families $1,000 a year more.

The NDP has already increased personal income taxes for higher income earners and boosted the corporate tax to 12 per cent from 10.

Canadian design enthusiasts have one more thing to look for-ward to this spring as new out-door trends emerge.

Make your outdoor living area look as good as it makes you feel so you can take advantage of the season, whether you’re relaxing, playing or socializing.

Debbie Travis, Canada’s lifestyle expert, who recently launched an exclusive partnership at Sears Canada, shares her favourite new outdoor trends.

• Space-saving patios: Multi-functional patio sets that save space are a go-to item this year.

“No matter how much space we have, it seems there’s never enough.

“That’s why it’s important to select versatile, space-saving patio sets,” she advises.

“When it comes time to put away the patio set for winter, we want to be able to stow it away easily and use minimal space.

• European inspired pieces: You can rejuvenate their outdoor liv-ing spaces by pulling inspiration from Europe. Right now, it’s all about sleek, modern pieces com-bined with rustic accents.

“Canadian barnwood is very cool at the moment and quite popular in Europe. Consider using it to build an outdoor countertop or as flooring on the deck,” says Travis.

• Mix and match: Mismatched is

trendy, so mix-up accessories like throw pillows or tableware.

“Combine colourful, vintage looking pieces with simple, mod-ern whites or greys. It’s not only about mixing colour and pattern, but also old with new,” says Travis.

“Tableware has also come a long way, and now it’s easy to achieve a fun yet sophisticated look with pieces that appear to be ceramic but are shatter resistant.”

Travis recommends being adventurous with colour, fabrics and materials

Outdoor furniture made from multiple materials promotes a dynamic fusion between the indoor and outdoor entertaining space.

Make the most of your first impression. New listings create a lot of interest, making it important for sellers to get their pricing right.

I have spent my adult life in Kamloops, and have been a realtor for 11 years. I help sellers develop the right asking price to attract attention and get maximum return. Setting a fair market value on your home gets the most out of interested buyers. Too low a price leaves thousands of dollars on the table, and too high a price scares away buyers and leaves your home on the market for too long.

The goal was to create a cymbal cover, something to not only keep a drummer’s crash-and-ride friend shiny and clean, but also keep dirt and grime out of the rings.

A drummer him-self — Cory is part of the band Forum — he readily describes himself as meticulous about his drum kit and wanted to create something that could slip on and off easily and protect the tonal grooves and dimples of each cymbal.

Cory’s passion soon spread to Maria and from there it became a family project that led to the creation of Cymbal Sox.

Sister Wanda Worst, a seamstress, worked on prototypes. Maria researched fabric. Brother-in-law Dean Worts — also a drum-mer — added his own insights to create what Cory describes as a cover a lot like a shower cap.

“She did a lot of

sewing,” Maria said of the work Wanda did as the group refined the design. “We spent a lot of hours around their dining-room table.”

Cory agreed.“She perfected it,”

he said. “She changed it to be more of a shower-cap design and she brought in the [toggle] drawstring.”

The project has brought in others, as well.

Dave Morello, a NorKam secondary graduate — and also a drummer — lives in Aukland and is mar-keting the product in New Zealand and Australia. Morello is still involved in the music business, play-ing with the band Fuser.

Dale Wallace of Emerson Drive — and a Kamloops native who jams with Evans and others in Forum when he’s back home — has given the covering an official endorsement.

Forum band-mates have also had a hand in creation of the company.

Blaine Alexandre lent his computer talents to help with the website, Erik Scholefield lent the Evans some music for a marketing video, Steve Chicoine put his audio-editing skills to work on the video

and Daryl Ouilette shared his viewpoints and suggestions.

Rob Gretsinger at Long and McQuade has sent information to that chain’s head office in hopes it will pick up the product and the Evans are in talks with other retail-ers.

Shannon Clark and Taylor Gallays at

LN Group Marketing and Promotions also helped move the product along, Cory said, and Kevin Watt and Ness Alfeche at WikAds helped create the website, cymbal-sox.com.

Cory created the logo and the colour combination — black and orange — was a group decision,

he said.Pricing is done by

inches, with 99 cents tacked on to the total.

A cover for a 10-inch cymbal, for example, is $10.99. Covers can be made for any size cymbal.

All the legal aspects have been covered off, Cory said, from incor-poration to patent application.

The company went officially live last month.

For more infor-mation, go online to cymbalsox.com, call 250-318-6882 or email [email protected].

There’s also an office in Penticton that can be reached at 1-250-488-2104 or at the same email address.

Kamloops couple patents Cymbal Sox

An early riser, Maria Evans would often awake at 3 a.m. to find hus-band Cory already up and at the com-

puter, trying to take the idea in his head and turn it into some-thing real.

Cory Evans (right) and wife Maria had a lot of help from their family in creating Cymbal Sox, a fabric cymbal cover. The couple is now selling them in all sizes. For more information, go online to cymbalsox.com.

While most B.C. drivers are honest when it comes to making insurance claims, there are a few that are hurting things for the rest of us in the province.

Industry studies estimate that about 10 to 20 per cent of all insurance claims contain an element of fraud or exaggeration. Applying those estimates here means fraud is costing us up to $600 million per year, or more than $100 annually on every auto insurance policy.

Fraud cheats everyone and comes in all shapes and sizes.

To learn more about auto insurance fraud, go to icbc.com/fraud

Fraudulent claimstake a toll onB.C. drivers

Some fraud is organized and orchestrated by a group of individuals, namely, staged accidents and stolen vehicle rings.

Other types of fraud are less obvious. Fraud like this includes exaggerating the extent of an injury, misrepresenting a previous medical condition or slanting the situation when reporting a claim. It’s not unheard of for people to embellish their claim by including vehicle damage unrelated to the crash, or to claim they can’t work when they’re actually back on the job. These tactics may not make the news, but the costs add up and come out of all of our pockets – we all end up paying for those who cheat the system.

ICBC combats fraud with their Special Investigation Unit, which last year looked at more than 5,000 claims les. This includes a cyber unit that employs information publicly available on the internet and social media to investigate suspected fraudulent claims. They’re in the process of increasing their focus on investigations, including training and analytics technology that ags patterns and predictors of fraud.

By stepping up efforts to reduce fraudulent and exaggerated claims, along with managing injury claims costs, ICBC is working to take pressure off rising insurance rates.

Fraud. It cheats us all.

In the art world, there seems to be some distinction between an art-ist, crafter and

artisan. According to the

dictionary, an artist is a painter, sculptor or writer who is able, by virtue of imagination and talent or skill, to create works of aes-thetic value, especially in the fine arts.

A crafter is someone who has great skill at making something in the arts.

An artisan is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates things by hand that may be functional or strictly decorative in the arts.

They all seem pretty close to me.

When I was in col-lege, crafters were cut-ting their pots in half and hanging them on the wall, calling them fine art.

I thought it was silly — it didn’t prove any-thing other than they had too much time on their hands to ruin perfectly good pots.

In my mind, a per-

son is an artist or they are not.

It does not matter what they create or in what vein of the arts they are in.

Most artists move around through differ-ent mediums through-out their lives.

Creative expression can take many forms and not one form is any better than the other.

I think most people will agree. You can cer-tainly see a resurgence of art in the summer markets downtown.

It seems the bridge between craft and art has come together and artists are creating all kinds of wonderful things and ideas we can all enjoy.

One thing I have noticed is there seems

to be more crafters and artists than galleries out there to support them.

I talked with a few people and they seem to share my thinking on this.

One such group is the Kamloops Downtown Business Improvement Association (KCBIA), which absolutely believes in creating a healthy and happy business climate in downtown Kamloops.

With their help and support, we are creating a Downtown Kamloops Artisan Market.

The market will provide a much-needed venue for local artists and designers to show and sell their wares in downtown Kamloops.

The market will create a veritable outdoor sidewalk gal-lery showing a wide range of functional and collectible art and design items.

Artists will person-ally display and sell their original creations.

Artisan markets are growing in popular-ity across B.C. and, no wonder — there are many benefits of

local markets. Buying local craft is

not only great for local artists, it also supports our economy.

This, in turn, ben-efits other local busi-nesses with new shop-pers coming into the area.

Buying local craft also creates jobs and supports entrepre-neurs, which supports a stronger community and local economy.

Buying locally does much more than support one crafts-person whose product you’ve taken home; it has a significant ripple effect in a very positive way.

The artisan market is launching its inau-gural opening party on Thursday, May 19,

from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 400 block of downtown Kamloops.

There will be bal-loons, clowns, paint-ing demonstrations, live music and a wide selection of art to get your creative on.

The market will run every Thursday from May 19 to Sept. 29.

The market is look-ing for artists inter-ested in joining.

There is no jury process; all artists are invited to participate.

Early-bird registra-tion is $15 per week.

All market members will be promoted on the Kamloops Artisan Market website.

For more and to register, go online to karlapearce.com or call 778-220-2032.

2016 Squamish Music Festival cancelledB.C. music fans are

upset about the unexpect-ed cancellation of a major summer music festival.

A post on the Squamish Valley Music Festival web-site says the 2016 event, slated for early August, has been cancelled.

The terse notice offers sincere apologies and says the decision was not made lightly, but doesn’t give rea-

sons. Co-producers Brand Live and Live Nation have not commented.

Squamish Mayor Patricia Heintzman said loss of the three-day festi-val is a blow to the district, about 60 kilometres north of Vancouver, because last year’s event pumped an estimated $15-million into the area.

She hasn’t had an

explanation from concert organizers, but suspects the cancellation may be linked to the low Canadian dol-lar pushing up the cost of attracting A-list talent.

Almost 120,000 people attended last year’s festival, headlined by artists includ-ing Drake, Sam Smith and Mumford and Sons.

HOROSCOPES MARCH 8 - MARCH 14, 2016ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

Without your knowledge, you have made it to the top of a very influential person’s list. This can only mean good things for your future, Aries. Be proud of yourself.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Friends and family who seem meddlesome may have more noble motives, Taurus. Give these loved ones the benefit of the doubt and be glad they care so much.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2Gemini, a big project means you will be working with others in the week ahead. Put your best foot forward and be receptive of others’ ideas and suggestions.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, you are full of energy this week, but for whatever reason you are still holding back. Don’t be afraid to unleash that energy and get to work. Others will be impressed.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23Mull an invitation before responding this week, Leo. You can find both pros and cons to accepting the invitation, and taking the time to consider it will ensure you make the right call.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, a healthy sense of ambition will move a project along much more quickly than you or others had imagined. Once the work is done, you’ll have plenty of time to relax.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Scorpio, your ambition is growing, but you are already beginning to feel overwhelmed. You may need to put the brakes on any new endeavors for a little while.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Any business transactions you make this week can have a lasting effect on your financial status, Sagittarius. This means carefully considering every purchase.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, expenses are piling up, and soon your stress levels may be rising as a result. You can use a dose of good news, and it’s coming this week.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Someone is rubbing you the wrong way, Aquarius. Just walk away and don’t let this person get under your skin. Taking the high road will serve you best in the long run.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, the week ahead is full of promise. Your energy levels are soaring, and you are poised to meet new people and make things happen.

WEEKLY CROSSWORD

Crossword Answers FOUND ON B4

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23A person from your past may come into your life, Libra. He or she stirs up old emotions, and you may need to take a step back in a current relationship. Think things over carefully.

You have under 100 marbles, each being one colour of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet.

The number of each colour of marble is prime and unique. Additionally, no two marble counts are adjacent primes.

(If there are, say, 7 of one colour, there can not be 5 or 11 of any other colour since those are the primes adjacent to 7.) The number of orange marbles plus green marbles plus blue marbles is equal to one more than the total number

of the other three colours.

If the number of yellow marbles and the number of violet marbles are both greater than the number of green marbles, and the number of blue marbles is less than both the number of orange marbles and the number of violet marbles,

how marbles are there of each of the six colours?

INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY

Pushing toward global gender equality T

oday is International Women’s Day, a time to celebrate the progress made toward gender equality and the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women around the world.

In Canada, the national theme on March 8 is “women’s empowerment leads to equality.”

In February, the federal government announced its ini-tiative to support projects that empower women by inviting organizations to submit proposals for projects that increase women’s participation in democratic and public life.

It is looking to fund projects that will strengthen the voices of indigenous women, promote the participation of women in political life and improve conditions by identify-ing systematic issues impacting women.

“We need a critical mass of women leaders, not only in the corridors of power, but in all aspects of public life to help shape Canada in a way that supports the advancement of women,” said Minster of Status of Women Patty Hajdu.

While celebrating the achievements of women, the glob-al campaign for International Women’s Day is focusing this year on the action needed to accelerate gender parity.

In its Global Gender Gap Report, the World Economic Forum predicted in 2014 it would take until 2095 to achieve global gender parity.

But, in 2015, after 10 years of measuring the global gen-der gap, it concluded the gap wouldn’t close entirely until 2133.

Kamloopsians can follow this year’s worldwide campaign on social media using #pledgeforparity and are encouraged alongside all Canadians to tag a woman who inspires them using #youareempowerment.

To learn more about these initiatives go online to women.gc.ca and internationalwomensday.com.

• Free events are being offered throughout the day today at the Kamloops Library in celebration of women and community.

The Women’s Leadership Council of United Way of the Thompson Nicola Cariboo has joined forces with the Kamloops Women’s Resource Group Society to organize a series of events from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the downtown library, including family activities, yoga and presentations on health, nutrition and youth homelessness.

The event will also feature its own spin on the concept of a human library, giving participants the chance to look beyond the labels given to people and learn their story.

The Kamloops human library open forum, which will run from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., will feature a panel of women

representing diverse backgrounds and experiences dis-cussing stereotypes, stigmas and celebrating successes.

No registration is required, but donations of cleaning items for the Y Women’s Shelter are welcome and will be given to families.

For a full schedule, go online to unitedwaytnc.ca/get-invovled/wlc/

• The Thompson Rivers University Students’ Union Equity Committee is commemorating International Women’s Day by encouraging action against violence against women.

The committee will have a table in the Old Main Building at the university from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. educat-ing people on how to prevent gender violence.

Eat your way to a healthier You!



Every year, it’s by girls and for girlsThe Y Power of Being a

Girl Conference is celebrat-ing 10 years of empowering young women.

Since 2006, more than 1,000 girls throughout the Thompson Valley have partic-ipated in the one-day event.

The conference was devel-oped as a part of the national YWCA’s violence-prevention initiatives.

The local branch was given free reign to create a specialized event for young girls, keeping in mind themes of self-esteem, healthy rela-tionships, discrimination and body image.

The conference is free for every participant and made possible by funds raised through the YMCA-YWCA’s

annual Strong Kids Campaign and community support.

The 2016 campaign, run-ning to March 14, includes 13 celebrity teams raising money so kids in the community can access Y programs.

“We know that it has a huge impact on the girls,” said Jacquie Brand, director of programs with the YWCA’s violence against women intervention and support services.

“I think the workshops we have really reflect with what is going on with the girls at that time and I think it just gives them an opportunity to talk about it, a safe place to share what is going on with them and if it’s not sharing with words it’s sharing with art.”

The program is devel-oped by girls for girls.

Every spring, the Y holds the girls’ planning commit-tee, a six-week workshop in which girls aged 12, 13 and 14, and some older teenage girls, known as mentor girls, give input on what is impor-tant to them and what is happening in their lives.

A community voices com-mittee, comprised of Y staff, volunteers and community members — all women — plan the conference based on that information.

“This year, there was a lot about body image and dieting and eating disorders and the last couple years that actually didn’t come up. But we try to listen to the

girls and what is coming up for them right now because what us, as adults, think is going on for them never is the case,” Brand said.

“So, this way, we get to figure out what they really want to address and we cre-ate the workshops around that.”

The conference is held in the fall, with a capacity of 135 girls ages 12, 13 and 14.

In 2015, the five work-shops included Conscious Girl, a media-busting session exploring how media influences how you see yourself; Unmasked Girl, where the girls used mask-making to explore identity and self aware-ness; Empowered Girl, a

dream-catcher workshop where they identified and challenged negative themes in their lives and set the stage for positive themes; Balanced Girl, a wellness workshop where they com-mitted to simple, fun and healthy wellness strategies; and Dynamic Girl, a move-ment workshop with yoga and POUND.

“As long as people keep supporting the Strong Kids Challenge and, as long as we still have a community that sees the value in it, we’ll do it for another 10 years,” Brand said.

To donate the Y Strong Kids Campaign and support the Power of Being a Girl Conference, go online to kamloopsy.org.

Tanya wasn’t even sure what a mortgage broker was six years ago – surprising for someone who had bought and sold more than eight properties in a 15 year period. Mortgage brokers are like Expedia – they shop around for you and compare all the options. Tanya was so impressed she decided to make it her career!

Tanya has worked all over Canada in various capacities as well as being self-employed for over 13 years. She moved to Kamloops in 2006 with her husband and two children and enjoys all that Kamloops and the surrounding area has to offer including hiking, camping and skiing.

More often than not, helping people purchase, re-fi nance, or renew the mortgage on their home or revenue properties is not always about getting them a great rate. Tanya fi nds that the fi ne print is often more important than the rate you are paying. By having so many banks and mortgage lenders at her disposal, Tanya is able to fi nd a mortgage that suits you AND at the best possible rate, all at no charge to you. Whether you are a fi rst-time buyer or own multiple properties, Tanya will take the time to answer all of your questions and help you plan your move into home ownership. Call Tanya today to discuss your options and needs when it comes to residential fi nancing anywhere in BC.

Kamloops Women in Business aims to offer a uniquely female opportunity.

The group exists to help women in Kamloops learn about each other’s busi-nesses, exchange referrals and leads and build relationships, but chairwoman Jillian Zielinksi said its core goal is to enable women to empower other women.

“Even though it is 2016, there are still some inequalities that happen between women and men in the workforce,” she said.

“People in general might have a hard time with public speaking, but if we can have a general consensus of we’re all women, we’re all mothers, we’re all sisters and wives and we all have lots of things going on, but we’re also doing business, then it is more of a comforting aspect.”

Linda Reddin and Karen Shaben found-ed the Kamloops Women in Business group in 2009, right around the time both had taken new steps in their career.

Reddin, a business coach and certified executive coach, had just started her own business when Shaben approached her about the idea.

The two met through their work with Rotary.

“It was perfect timing when she approached me because I was also thinking of doing something like that,” Reddin said.

“We decided to go with a strictly women in business group and, the reason being, we felt there wasn’t anything like that in Kamloops and we wanted to have some-thing that would honour the busy lives of women in business.”

They wanted to create a group that didn’t demand as much of a time commitment

and a financial investment other network-ing groups do.

There are no fees. Members are women who conduct their

primary business in town and surrounding areas.

The group holds monthly meetings and members are expected to attend 55 per cent of them.

Zielinksi said they see anywhere from 20 to 50 women attend each meeting.

Members are allowed a short pitch every event to advertise their business and can apply to be the monthly guest speaker and do a 20-minute presentation.

Networking and relationship building is a key benefit of having a Women in Business group in town, Zielinksi said.

“A mortgage broker, for example, there’s so many in town. What sets you apart from someone else?” she said

“If you have an individual relationship with somebody, then you are more likely to get a referral with them.

“So, focusing on building the relation-ships so those leads and referrals can be exchanged.”

The group meets on the last Thursday of each month from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Flavours of India, 610 Columbia St. W.

Those interested in joining can attend two consecutive meetings, or three non-consecutive meetings, as a guest and then apply for membership, at which point they are eligible to do a presentation on their business.

Women who are interested in joining can go online to the Kamloops Women in Business group on Facebook or email [email protected].

DENISE KRANZPeople give me presents on International Women’s Day; I love it. I also enjoy the cake.

Besides today being my birthday, International Women’s Day is important in continuing the conversations and actions to change systemic discrimination. Before becom-ing a lawyer, I brought a Human Rights challenge against a major industrial company for discriminating against women in their hiring practices, and won. I’m a business lawyer now and get great satisfaction in assisting women as they build their own futures.

Drunk on dhak

Back in the 1960s and 1970s, it was almost impos-sible to become a profes-sional airplane pilot.

The early women pio-neers had similar difficulty and only those who made spectacular feats of airman-ship got the notariety.

When I started flying, only a few women had bro-ken into the professional ranks.

I eventually worked my way up to a level of profi-ciency where I was hired as a commuter pilot and, because of my gender, the event was a feast for the local media.

I have no idea why the general public figured women couldn’t fly and, when they did, it became big news.

Eventually, I got hired to fly corporate jets for a

major company and still the media attention made the male pilots jealous.

Most of the women flying for corporations and airlines in the 1970s and 1980s were a novelty, but we paved the way for the thousands of women who now command even the space shuttle.

I wrote about all the tri-als and tribulations of the journeys of early women aviators right through mod-ern day in a book, Flying Above the Glass Ceiling.

We were no different than many women in other male-dominated profes-sions, but because of the glamour of aviation we seemed to stand out.

It was a great ride . . .

Candace was born and raised in Kam-loops. After graduating from “Kam High”, she obtained her Bachelor of Arts and law degrees from U.B.C.. She completed her articles in Kamloops and was called to the Bar in 1984. After working in a large downtown Vancouver law rm for 3 years, she happily returned to Kamloops where

the skies are sunny, lawyers are collegial and the best skiing is only minutes away. With the assistance and support of her husband, Tony, and her law partners in Kamloops, she has successfully juggled raising one daughter and numerous dogs while establishing herself as one of the top solicitors in Kam-loops. Meanwhile, her love of wine, skiing, biking, and Sidney Crosby keeps her relatable and a pleasure to work with.

Called to the BC Bar in 1989, Lorine practiced law in Kamloops for many years and has been operating a law of ce in Chase, BC for eleven years. For the last two years Lorine has made Chase her full time law practice. Lorine’s practice offers a relaxed approach in a home setting

and is exible with hours, offering evening and week-end appointments, to accommodate people when it is convenient for them. Lorine has a passion for garden-ing and now tends to three different gardens. Lorine is an advocate of sharing information and gives free open seminars on topics including wills, power of attorney and representative agreements.

As a mother of two children, Carolyn knows rst-hand what it means to be a working mother and is extremely familiar with the challenges facing women to balance family and career. Carolyn was raised in the 60’s and 70’s in a very blue collar home with a stay-at-home mom and was the

rst person in her family to graduate from high school. Through endless perseverance, hard work and dedica-tion she became a lawyer in 1990 and has had her own rm since 1995. Carolyn joined CFOE Law in 2009 as a partner and is happy to say she has found her niche in family law where she nds ful llment in helping people through the most challenging times in their lives.

As the youngest lawyer of the rm, Lisa appreciates the path that has been blazed ahead of her by the talented, driven, and compassionate female lawyers at CFOE Law. Lisa enjoys a busy practice, a large part of which incudes criminal defence work.

As one might expect, the criminal defense practice of law is quite male-dominated, but Lisa doesn’t see that as an impediment to becoming a competent and respected defence counsel. Lisa gets a thrill every time she ap-pears in court and has the honour of repre-senting individuals.
