Following the success of their performance of
Handel’s Water Music last Labour day at Riverside
Park, the Chamber Musicians of Kamloops and the
Brandenburg Orchestra were invited to present that
composer’s equally popular Music for the Royal
Fireworks on Canada Day at Riverside Park.
The concert features 40 musicians in period
costumes, led by conductor Cvetozar Vutev and
assistant conductor Don Bennett. King George
II will make a return appearance, along with his
two attendants.
The concert, the fi rst part of which includes the
popular Pachelbel Canon, Bach’s Brandenburg
Concerto #3, and selections of Handel’s Water Mu-
sic, will take place on the grass by the parking lot of
the Interior Saving Centre (ISC), starting at 9 p.m.,
and will last approximately 40 to 45 minutes.
An added feature is that the Brandenburg Or-
chestra will be providing entertainment for the
delegation from Kamloops’ sister city Ujii, Ja-
pan, currently visiting Kamloops. Thus the musi-
cians will pick up their instruments and move to
the green square directly below the ISC, where
the delegates will be entertained, and set up for
the Royal Fireworks Music, to coincide with the
City of Kamloops’ spectacular fi reworks display
at the park at approximately 10:30 p.m. Audi-
ence members can choose to stay where they
are, watch the fi reworks and listen to the music
or move up to the second location, where space
is more limited.
A preview presentation of the concert is being of-
fered on Sun. June 29, at 7 p.m. at McDonald Park
on the North Shore. Everyone is invited to enjoy
beautiful music on a beautiful evening. The con-
cert lasts about an hour. (Sorry – no fi reworks.)
Both concerts, presented by the Chamber Musi-
cians of Kamloops and the Brandenburg Orches-
tra, and supported by the City of Kamloops, are
free. Bring your chairs or blankets and enjoy the
music.
O Canada - On fi re for thee!
ON FIRE FOR THEE. The Chamber Musicians of Kamloops and the Brandenburg Orchestra
will be performing Handel’s Water Music during the Canada Day fi reworks display. Submitted photo
It was while sitting at a lunch
table at a sidewalk bistro in
Sturgis, South Dakota, with the
normally sleepy little town’s
mayor, Maury LaRue, back in
2010, that Ray Sasseville men-
tioned how he would like to start
an event like the one Sturgis hosts
every year.
“I mentioned to him (LaRue)
that I would like to start a Sturgis
in Canada as a
lot of Canadian
can’t get across
the border to
attend due to
offences they
had done when
they were
young – like
teenage DUIs
and such,”
S a s s e v i l l e
recalled. “He
thought it was
a good idea,
and said if I
t rademarked
the name inter-
nationally in
Canada, the city of Sturgis would
not have a problem with it as
long as I kept the name Sturgis in
good standing with no violence
– murders, assaults, etc. I immedi-
ately picked up my cellphone and
called my trademark lawyer in
Canada, with my fingers crossed
that it would be available, and
after 70 years no one had ever
trademarked it, so it was mine!”
As soon as he returned to
Canada, the Lower Mainland
entrepreneur set to work to begin
organising the first-ever Canadian
Sturgis event. It took Sasseville
and a staff of about 20 hand-
picked people a full year to pull
Sturgis North 2011 together – it
was a lot of pavement pound-
ing, travelling throughout the
province and meeting people to
organise the events within the
event – from bike shops and bike
builders, charities and biker tours
to vendors and site preparation
(Sasseville hired an agent to book
the musicians).
“The one thing I learned in spades
through all
this, is that
you can have
20 great peo-
ple working
with you but
if you make a
mistake hir-
ing even one
wrong person
who cannot
be trusted it
can hurt you
i m m e n s e l y
f i n a n c i a l -
ly, and it’s
e x t r e m e l y
difficult to
recover from.
It takes years,” he related.
Sasseville stated it cost well
over $2 million to put on the first
event; and from then, the cost
went down about 30 per cent in
the second year and down another
20 per cent for this year’s event.
That’s due to having all the staff-
ing and infrastructure in place.
Sasseville started in the car
business in 1969 as a car sales-
man, the quickly moved into the
management side of the business;
he then bought his first car dealer-
ship at the ripe age of 22 years.

BEST ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
see page 3
HoroscopesJune 23 - June 29, 2014
You’ll be quick to react to pressure applied by somebody else, esp. if you feel they expect to get on top of you. It’ll be easier than it has been recently for you to get them talking, so you can gain some idea of how they’re thinking. You can get new ways in place but may have to modify any rebelliousness.
Personal changes since late-May are now moving onto the next stage that may have something to do with fi nances. Be careful here, as you may not have clear vision. There’ll be many new things to think about. However it’s not just a case of wanting them but gathering information when it comes to the cost, particularly.
‘Til July 18, there’ll be plenty of opportunity to engage in mat-ters you enjoy. You may also decide you’d like to go back to something from the past, which may include reconnecting with associations. This may also have a bearing on new opportunities fi nancially.
This week gives you a once in a 12-year signifi cance. This can be the beginning of developments that’ll see you eventually ful-fi lling long-term goals. There are thoughts you need to keep to yourself for now. Contemplation & patience to mid-July is the way to handle it.
There’s much developing behind the scenes that has a lot to do with new beginnings you’ll experience from your birthday this year to your birthday next year. You may be involved with groups of people to mid-July. This may also include gatherings with friends. You may come across somebody from the past.
If you’ve been encouraged to join a new group of people, this is worth trying, as it may prove benefi cial. There may be something entertaining or creative about it. Don’t be tempted to spend money on impulse, based on pressure or advice of somebody else. Your fi nancial obligations need to come fi rst ‘til mid-July.
Something that’s been annoying you about somebody else may reach a head, mainly because of their determination to do things their way. From now – late-July, act & put things in place in such a way that you’re happy to handle over the next 2 years. Take action if you have too many responsibilities.
When it comes to getting things moving, you’ll feel held back. It’ll be diffi cult to read the intentions of others as they are setting out to be more secretive than ever. Focus on new directions you want to develop & expand into the future. Don’t be afraid to use your imagination – it can open up much potential.
Involvement with others will become highly activated ‘til mid-July, making you very busy. There’s an unpredictable element but it’s likely to be more benefi cial than otherwise. It may be that you’re not sure of where you stand with others & this can have a lot to do with past experiences that don’t have to repeat themselves.
New people can come into your life that’ll have greater long-term signifi cance than you fi rst imagine. There’s something changing big time at an underlying level that requires you to question what’s likely been past obligations. You’re not in the same position any-more & need to review your daily routines & patterns in life.
There can be much to enjoy to mid-July, including fi nding your-self in social situations where some very interesting conversations take place. You may decide on a new health regime, particularly if you’ve put on weight over the last year. Any focus on improving health as well may now show its benefi ts.
Pleasurable pursuits will appeal to you more than anything else. If you’re involved in anything creative, you can fi nd these reaching new heights. The only thing you have to watch is a tendency to escape from the more practical things that need to be handled. It may be helpful to go back to past methods or means of organising.

Besides this,
Sasseville also
owns his own
recording com-
pany called
T h u m p e r
Records, and
he’s writing
a book about
his life, titled
Gangster or
Entrepreneur,
a play on
words reflect-
ing the mis-
conceptions he
receives due
to his biker
image. Although he began bik-
ing at the age of 16 some 50
years ago, he has never been a
member of any notorious motor-
cycle gangs, and is as clean-cut
as the boy next door – he neither
smokes, nor drinks nor consumes
illicit drugs.
Sasseville is proud of what
he and the Sturgis Canada board
members have accomplished in
such a short time.
“We have produced some of the
best rock ‘n’ roll in North America
over the years
and the rest is
all just a learn-
ing experience
that one works
very hard to
improve each
year in order to
address all sug-
gestions and
concerns from
all involved,
from attendees
to volunteers
and vendors
to staff and
a d m i n i s t r a -
tion,” he relat-
ed. “Quitting is for losers.”
And Sasseville has no plans of
quitting.
Ed. note: Mayor Maury LaRue
passed away a few years after he
and Sasseville had their conver-
sation and never had the oppor-
tunity to see Sturgis Canada
come to fruition. Sasseville did
meet with current Sturgis mayor,
Mark Carstensen, last year
and invited him and his wife to
Sturgis Canada as guests.

A Canadian leader in social justice
and Indigenous law issues will lead
Thompson Rivers University’s
(TRU) Faculty of Law.
Bradford Morse will commence
his duties as the Dean of Law
during the fall of 2014.
“I am excited that we have
attracted such an excellent legal
scholar and experienced academ-
ic administrator. Dean Morse’s
work has been highly influen-
tial with respect to a number
of important legal issues,” said
Alan Shaver, TRU president and
vice-chancellor. “We are pleased
to welcome him to Kamloops
and look forward to his leader-
ship as we continue to develop
TRU’s Faculty of Law.”
“TRU’s Faculty of Law is off to
an excellent start having recruit-
ed a core of exceptionally talent-
ed professors and administrative
staff as well as now having its
first JD graduates,” said Morse.
“TRU has a bright future with
strong leadership and my role as
the new Dean will be to enhance
the reputation and performance
of our law school.”
Once on campus Morse will seek
to build mutually beneficial part-
nerships with the legal community
throughout B.C., assist the faculty
in developing student internships
and legal assistance clinics, initiate
establishing positive relationships
with foreign law schools and help
encourage a belief among First
Nations and Métis peoples that
TRU is their law school.
Morse joins TRU after serving
five years as dean and professor
of Law at Te Piringa - Faculty
of Law at the University of
Waikato, New Zealand. There he
recruited many of the staff and
lead its achieving global recogni-
tion to be ranked in the top 100
law schools in the world in 2013.
Prior to his experience in New
Zealand he was professor of Law
in the Faculty of Law, served as
vice-dean and director of Graduate
Studies at the University of Ottawa.
As a professor Morse has taught
a wide variety of courses con-
cerning Canadian and compara-
tive Indigenous law issues, as
well as labour law, trusts, prop-
erty and civil liberties.
He has been directly involved in
the establishment of Aboriginal
legal services programs and child
welfare agencies, as well as in
land claims, environmental dis-
putes, constitutional, treaty and
self-government negotiations,
economic development projects,
legislative drafting and other
Aboriginal government matters.
He has also served as counsel
in litigation on Aboriginal and
treaty rights as well as an expert
witness before numerous parlia-
mentary and legislative commit-
tees and administrative tribunals.
From 1988 to 1991, Morse
was the director of Research
and Planning for the Aboriginal
Justice Inquiry of Manitoba. He
served as executive assistant to
the Honourable Ronald A. Irwin,
Minister of Indian and Northern
Affairs, from late 1993 until early
1997, and was intimately involved
in all aspects of the Minister’s and
the Department’s responsibilities
concerning First Nations as well
as the North. He has also served
as Chief Federal Negotiator on
several Canadian land claims. He
has been a consultant to vari-
ous royal commissions, govern-
ment departments and Indigenous
peoples’ organizations in Canada,
Australia and New Zealand
He has authored more than 100
articles, books, book chapters and
commission reports. He holds a
BA from Rutgers University, LLB
from the UBC Faculty of Law,
and LLM from Osgoode Hall,
York University. He has been a
Barrister-at-Law and Solicitor
with the Law Society of Upper
Canada (Ontario) since 1979.

With the weather getting warmer this is the
time of year in Kamloops when we begin see
a lot more baby wildlife peeking out of wood-
ed areas. As cute as those wild animals are,
especially deer fawns, it’s best to keep your
hands off the animals. Every year the BC
Conservation offi ce receives numerous calls
from the public about supposedly “orphaned”
fawns, but in reality they are not motherless.
Here are some important pieces of informa-
tion to know:
• Ninety-nine percent of calls from the public
reporting the discovery of a fawn, do not in-
volve orphaned fawns.
• Generally, if there is no dead doe in the area
or on nearby roads, the fawn is not an orphan.
• Often does won’t return to their fawns until
well after dark.
• Keep yourself and pets far away from the
fawn. It may take a good 24 hours for a doe
to feel safe enough to return to her fawn. If a
mother were to return to her fawn premature-
ly, she might risk leading a predator directly
to her fawn.
• Don’t touch the fawn! This could cause the
mother to reject it. If the fawn has already
been “handled,” wipe the fawn off with a clean
towel rubbed with dirt, put on a clean pair of
gloves, and return the fawn to the site of origin.
• If the fawn has wandered into someone’s
garage or other precarious position, gently
coax the fawn out or move to a quiet, nearby
site while wearing gloves. Don’t move the
fawn too far.
• Coyotes, dogs, cats, raccoons, construc-
tion, etc. aren’t reasons for fawn removal.
These are things that deer must encounter on
a daily basis in Kamloops. A mother deer will
move her fawn away from danger if given the
chance.
• Fawns are born late May through the end
of June, with the peak number born in early
June. Mother deer often give birth at night in
areas (such as people’s front yards) that may
seem perfectly safe at night but differ drasti-
cally during daylight hours.
• For the fi rst fi ve days after birth, fawns
won’t run when approached. Instead, they
will exhibit “freeze behaviour.” They lie still
when approached. From the seventh day on,
fawns will exhibit “fl ight behaviour” when
approached. By one month of age fawns ven-
ture out to browse with their mothers.
The above applies to young fawns only (un-
der three months of age). Adult deer cannot
be successfully rehabilitated. An adult deer
that’s injured (hit by car, etc.) and can’t get
up and walk away on its own should be eutha-
nized. Call the Conservation Offi cer Report-
ing Line at 1-877-952-7277.
