What’s in a name?For a Kamloops man, it almost

meant more time behind bars.The Crown unsuccessfully

appealed six provincial-court sentenc-es handed down in 2013 to someone named James Rocky Whitford.

The problem is the James Rocky Whitford who was jailed for terms ranging from two weeks to three

months is not a real person.He is actually 31-year-old Eric

Charlie. The alias wasn’t caught until a court-ordered DNA sample for Whitford matched Charlie and author-ities in Ottawa notified Kamloops Mounties on Feb. 10, 2014.

During an appeal hearing in B.C. Supreme Court this week, Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said Charlie, who has a lengthy criminal record, received relative slaps on the wrist because of Whitford’s lack of a history.

HOMEOWNERS HELP HEAVY INDUSTRY

The average hom-eowner will pay an extra $49 in taxes and fees in 2015 after Kamloops city council set the tax rate on Tuesday.

Property taxes will rise 1.22 per cent but, because of a decision to freeze the mill rate for the city’s heavy indus-tries for a third year in a row, other taxpayers will pay a bit extra, about $34 for a home assessed at $344,000, which is the average in Kamloops.

The freeze amounts to $272,000 saved for heavy industry — a

tax class that includes Domtar, Tolko, Arclin and Lafarge.

They have been lob-bying for several years for a decreased rate per $1,000 of assessed prop-erty to bring the city in line with the provincial average, which is less than two-thirds of what industries in Kamloops pay.

Coun. Tina Lange could not find support for her suggestion the city make a larger offer-ing to industry in a year in which the property-tax increase is relatively low, shifting $500,000 onto commercial and residential ratepayers,

arguing the smaller amount is “a drop in the bucket,” but couldn’t find support from her council colleagues.

Coun. Arjun Singh questioned whether the city’s strategy so far — freezing its heavy-industrial tax rate as it attempts to annex the New Afton Mine west of the city— is working.

Were the mine within city boundaries, it would bring in additional tax dollars that would drop the tax rate closer to the province’s average, but Singh said he’s not sure the province is on side with the annexation bid.

Council opposes laundry privatizationAn Interior Health Authority plan to privatize

laundry services at Royal Inland Hospital isn’t sit-ting well with Kamloops city council.

Members of the Hospital Employees’ Union appeared before council on Tuesday, asking it to come out against a plan to contract out laundry at the hospital.

Donisa Bernardo, financial secretary for the union, told council the move would mean the loss of 20 jobs at RIH, most likely to the Lower Mainland or Alberta, where the laundry would be shipped.

“That’s not a good deal for Kamloops,” Bernardo said. “We’d lose a quality, efficiently run local service and we’d lose good quality,

family-supporting jobs that support local busi-ness and contribute to our tax base.”

Bernardo said the move would also hurt the city’s sustainability efforts because of the truck traffic required to haul the laundry in and out of the city.

The IHA has stated it is looking to privatize the service because it doesn’t want to spend money to replace aging equipment, which it estimates would cost $10.5 million over the next several years.

Coun. Dieter Dudy said the health authority is taking a “nickel-and-dime” approach to the issue.

“Because they have to make some minor expenditures in the grand scheme of things, they’re willing to turf 20 people,” he said.

But, Coun. Ken Christian said he didn’t see why council would take a stance on the issue

when it hadn’t spoken out against layoffs at Domtar or the Kamloops Daily News when the newspaper folded in early 2014.

“I would be uncomfortable supporting it without offering IHA an opportunity to stand at the podium and answer the questions we might have,” he said.

Coun. Denis Walsh said the situations aren’t comparable because tax money doesn’t fund the pulp mill or the newspaper.

“We have a right to make these requests,” he said.

Council voted 5-2 to send a letter to the IHA, asking the health authority to keep the laundry local, with Christian and Coun. Arjun Singh vot-ing against the move. Mayor Peter Milobar and Coun. Marg Spina left the meeting early and did not vote.

Developer will need neighbourly love to proceedThough staff are recommend-

ing against approving his 12-storey tower proposal, a Kamloops devel-oper will still get a public hearing on his project — provided he can get his neighbours to agree to a deal to limit growth on their prop-erties.

Casey VanDongen’s Total Concept Developments has applied for a rezoning of 131

Victoria St. to allow for a 77-unit development with ground-floor commercial space, but staff say the property is too dense for the lot.

Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski told council on Tuesday that staff would recom-mend VanDongen put no more than 66 units on the property, which would leave more room.

Kwiatkowski said that because the building’s current design uses up all the space on the property, the building looms above pedes-trians and could leave future resi-dents with apartments set directly against the walls of neighbouring properties, should other tall build-ings develop on the block.

Council will require VanDongen

to get written agreements from his neighbours that they will not develop buildings more than three storeys high on their properties.

Corporate officer Cindy Kennedy said the city won’t take part in those negotiations, noting a public hearing won’t be scheduled until agreements are in place.

While mineral exploration spending in B.C. is half the level of two years ago, the province is capturing a fair share of the action in Canada.

Gavin Dirom, president of the Association for Mineral Exploration in B.C., told more than 400 delegates at this year’s Kamloops Exploration Group annual conference that B.C. remains a national highlight.

About 20 per cent of spending on mineral exploration across Canada was done in this province last year.

“We were attracting 30 per cent back in the ‘90s,” he added.

“There’s a ways to go.”Mines that have opened in the past few

years in B.C. include New Afton locally, as well as Mount Milligan, Red Chris and Copper Mountain.

“It’s impressive for B.C. to be able to do this.”Dirom also said the 344-kilometre Northwest

Transmission Line in the remote corner of B.C. offers potential for new mineral development.

Red Chris mine is utilizing the extension and 10 other mines could join in the years to come.

B.C. boasts 20% share

Ajax among six proposals in regionSix new mines

in various stages of development are proposed for the Southern Interior, a regional geologist told a conference yester-day.

Jim Britten, a geologist with the Ministry of Energy and Mines, said the six mines include Ajax in Kamloops, as well as Harper Creek and Ruddock Creek in the

North Thompson.Harper Creek, a

proposed open-pit copper mine near Vavenby, is now in the official environ-mental-assessment process intended to produce a decision by the provincial and federal governments within a year.

The list also includes New Prosperity, twice turned down by the federal government — mainly over concerns of First Nations.

Britten presented

an overview of min-eral exploration in this region in 2014 to the Kamloops Exploration Group conference.

In addition to the big players, several junior mining firms are active despite challenging financial markets that make raising money for drilling difficult.

Those include the Maggie copper-molybdenum target along Highway 97 near Cache Creek and the Rabbit North proj-ect located between

Highland Valley Copper and New Afton.

Chris Leslie, vice-president of explo-ration for Tower

Resources, which owns the Rabbit North property, said the company acquired 13,000 hectares of claims in 2013 and last

year completed exten-sive geochemistry and geophysical surveys along with sampling at the copper-gold target.

The property was explored by Cominco in the 1970s as well as by a junior exploration firm as late as 2004.

Leslie said Tower Resources wants to

to drill the property this year but is hav-ing challenges raising money for exploration in what a number of conference-goers said is tough times for the industry based out of Vancouver.

It has permits to drill 10,000 metres as well as to build associ-ated access roads.

His grandfather didn’t drill into the motherlode and neither did his father.

But, to young pros-pector Bob Denny, a lousy day in the West Kootenay mountains is better than the alterna-tive in the city.

“You don’t have to sit in an office and you get outside,” said the prospector hawking his claims at this year’s Kamloops Exploration Group (KEG) Conference.

“There’s always a chance you’ll strike it rich one day — probably better than the lottery.”

The work of a pros-pector has changed.

Claims are staked by surfing the Internet rather than by treading in hiking boots, survey-ing steep and bushy ground.

But, at it’s core, the tradition of sampling

soil and rocks, looking for geological anoma-lies and selling a dream remains the same as it was for Bob’s father and his father before him.

Metals mines — at least those not found on the site of an old mine or beside a current one — are discovered by people like Bob Denny and his father, Jack, building on the work of others sometimes going back a century.

The Association for Mineral Exploration in B.C. estimates in the past five years, junior explo-ration companies were responsible for 85 per cent of discoveries.

Those junior mining firms depend on pros-pectors like the Dennys.

“It’s an aging and dwindling population,” said association presi-dent Gavin Dirom. “We used to count prospec-tors in the thousands.

“We’re looking now at a few hundred.”

Dave Piggin learned the trade as a hobby while working as a gov-ernment forester in the late 1990s.

He and his brother took a course offered by KEG and followed that up by going on field trips and learning from other prospectors.

In the past decade- and-a-half, “there’s been lots of money going out,” the now-retired govern-

ment worker acknowl-edged of spending on prospecting.

“I have made some money.”

Both the Dennys and Piggin are hoping to hook the interest of a junior mining com-pany listed on the TSX-V exchange that can bring money and expertise to further explore their claims.

However, KEG presi-

dent and geoscientist Colin Russell said it is lean times for junior miners in this province.

“Over 50 per cent of small juniors are being delisted [from a stock exchange] or ready to delist. They’ve got less than $700,000 and are on life support. They’ve got property they can’t work on.”

That means there is little money to purchase

or buy into claims staked by prospectors.

“Junior mining com-panies are not financed — it follows that I’m not well financed,” Piggin said.

While the industry is tight today, every miner and prospector knows it’s a cyclical, boom-bust business. Good times will come again. And, when the money is there, quality properties worked by prospectors need to be ready for the market

“It’s important for the long term we have investment in greenfield, grassroots projects — that we have enough in the pipeline,” Dirom said.

The association is looking at working with local prospectors in rural B.C. communities to pass on their knowledge and get more boots on the ground and pickaxes in gloved hands.

Denny is organizing a course in Nelson this year to teach prospect-ing.

“People my age I can count on one hand,” he said. “There’s a lot of old-timers like my dad, but they’re not getting out like the used to.”

Dirom said prospec-tors are unique in skills and outlook, something that can’t be taught.

“At the end of the day, it’s a pretty unique and special person who can do that work,” he said.

“They’re relentless in trying new things.

“The ground might have been walked a thousand times. A pros-pector makes a discovery and everyone says, ‘Well, of course!’”

“It doesn’t seem to me like the response has been very good so far, or at least it’s been very quiet,” Singh said.

Mayor Peter Milobar

said he doesn’t think it’s time yet to revisit the city’s plan.

“They haven’t said no. They’ve just said this is the process you need to follow,” Milobar said, admitting the annexa-

tion process has been slower than the city hoped.

Besides the tax increase, the city also raised its garbage fees for 2015, which will add an extra $15

onto the average bill, though numbers vary depending on the size of garbage can residents choose to use.

The city was able to knock down the hike needed to cover this

year’s budget, which had hovered slightly above two per cent through recent discussions, using almost $850,000 in additional tax revenue turned up when the B.C. Assessment Authority

reviewed properties citywide this year and discovered millions in off-the-books improve-ments and growth.

Acting director of finance Doug Stewart told council the city will also fund two much-debated projects — a retrofit of the heritage B.C. Sheep Breeders Building on Lorne Street for museum storage and improvements to Rose Hill Park — from its federal community works dollars, reducing the draw on taxes by $250,000.

Council will finalize the tax rate on May 5.

Crown wants adult sentencing

The Crown intends to proceed with adult sentencing for a Kamloops teen facing a string of violent sexual charges.

The accused, now a 19-year-old man who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, is charged with aggra-vated sexual assault, sexual assault causing bodily harm, sexual assault with a weapon, unlawful confinement, possession of a weapon and uttering threats.

The charges were laid following an alleged incident on Dec. 1, 2013, when the accused was 17.

He was granted bail last summer and is slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court for a preliminary inquiry on May 13.

Randy Pickering had done everything he could think of to the couch — covered its legs in sticky tape, steamed it, sprinkled pest-killing dust in

every nook and cranny.But, when he found another bug nestled

inside one Sunday afternoon in March, the 60-year-old North Shore resident snapped and went for the dumpster. By the end of the day, he estimates he had tossed $10,000 worth of furnishings, including his bed, over the balcony of his third-floor unit in the Parnell Apartments.

Another round of pest control followed — but, by early April, the bedbugs were back and Pickering is at the end of his rope.

“I’m itchy. I’m scratchy. Everywhere I look, I see a bug,” he told KTW.

“I’m haunted.”The bedbugs aren’t Pickering’s first brush

with pests since moving to his apartment unit on Tranquille Road in 2009.

In 2012, he said the city’s beautification project on the roadway sent mice scurrying into the building and into his unit via a hole under his kitchen sink.

Pickering said he caught about a half-dozen mice, many of which he photo-graphed or documented on video, before eventually sealing off the hole and stuffing it with poison.

Then there were the ants, which he said turned up soon after his arrival.

Pickering, who has Hepatitis C and COPD, said the ants appear to have been attracted to water in the breathing machine he wears when sleeping.

“One morning, I woke up and I thought I had condensation in my nose, so I took my mask off. The condensation just kept run-ning right up my nose,” he recalled.

The ants had crawled into the tubes of the machine during the night — and into his nose.

But, while the other issues were out-weighed by a rent-controlled unit in an apartment building he generally likes, Pickering said the bedbugs have destroyed his mental health. He’s ready to leave — if he can figure out how to do so without spreading them to another building.

When contacted by KTW, Pickering’s building manager, Debby Belrose, said while another pair of units had been treated for bedbugs the previous summer, other tenants have not complained of mice or ants. She also pointed to a number of ten-ants who had not experienced pest issues in the building, though another tenant who spoke on condition of anonymity said he experienced mice issues around the same time as Pickering.

Belrose described Pickering as a “dis-gruntled” tenant who hasn’t complied with exterminators’ recommendations following treatment of his unit.

She said she has done what she can to help with the bedbug problem.

“He’s just very disgruntled that the pest guy can’t wave a magic wand for him,” Belrose said. “He’s got too much stuff in his unit.”

Because they don’t carry illnesses, bed-bugs aren’t considered a health issue by the Interior Health Authority and aren’t tracked, making it difficult to determine how often they are turning up in apartment buildings in Kamloops.

However, Tom Durning, spokesman for the Tenant Resource and Advisory Centre, said they are a growing problem across B.C.

“Five years ago, there were no bedbugs east of Maple Ridge and now they’re up in Fort St. John and Dawson Creek. It’s an epi-demic,” he said.

Durning said when an infestation appears, the best course of action is to report it to the landlord or building manag-er in writing, and to the B.C. Rental Tenancy board should the problem not be dealt with in a timely manner.

Durning notes it’s up to the landlord to provide help and the tenant to comply with instructions from the exterminator, but said in cases in which the issue isn’t being solved, tenants shouldn’t be afraid to push for something to be done.

“It’s not the tenant’s fault even if the ten-ant did bring them in — the landlord would have to show the tenant was negligent in bringing them in, because they can come in on your pant cuffs,” he said.

Randy Pickering has battled bedbugs, mice and ants in an apartment unit he otherwise likes. He said the situation has taken its toll: “I’m itchy. I’m scratchy. Everywhere I look, I see a bug. I’m haunted.”DAVE EAGLES/KTW

There seems to be some assumption out there a perform-ing arts centre in Kamloops will be

used infrequently.Comments on KTW stories

question how busy such a facility might be, among other concerns.

Here’s hoping these folks take the time to actually read the city’s presentation on the proposed facility and learn that it will be more than a stage.

It has the potential to be a busy place that helps revitalize a part of the downtown that needs some uplifting.

The proposal includes a res-taurant and retail space — that will bring people to the area and add businesses that also will pay taxes.

It includes three storefronts for local artists, something that is sorely needed.

The Old Courthouse Cultural Centre is chock full of arts and artisans and additional space can only grow that part of our community.

Providing local artists anoth-er way to sell their work and who could possibly be against that?

There will be a black-box theatre the Kamloops Film Society has already shown interest in using.

There’s potential for Thompson Rivers University using it — and pay to do so.

There will be meeting rooms that no doubt will be used as well, particularly with the prox-

imity not only of the centre’s restaurant but other amenities downtown.

Most importantly, there will be 350 parking stalls, some-thing the downtown has want-ed for years.

It all adds up to revitalizing one of the most-important commercial areas we have.

But, there’s more to it.Someone asked online if

Sagebrush Theatre is really that busy.

It is. In fact, it’s often booked months and even years in advance.

The other challenge Sagebrush has that a new cen-tre would overcome is not the number of seats in the house, but the lack of rehearsal space — something the new centre would include — a woefully inadequate green room for major players and wings and fly areas that can accommodate our own theatre’s productions, but can never handle a major travelling stage show.

Is it inadequate for The

Three Tenors, someone asked?The last time I checked, that

renowned group of singers was charging $500,000 per booking, which works out to more than $700 a ticket.

Another comment was about Kamloopsians not supporting the existing arts.

If the person is consider-ing just the shows at Interior Savings Centre, perhaps not — given someone as iconic as Burton Cummings played to a less-than-full house — but the symphony is seeing large audi-ences.

Meanwhile, opening nights at the art gallery are crowded and, according to general man-ager Lori Marchand, Western Canada Theatre continues to play to healthy audiences.

The Kamloops Symphony’s general manager, Kathy Humphreys, confirmed it gets strong audiences; the two May concerts, for example, are already more than half sold in a town that always waits until the last minute.

Here’s the final point to consider: Kamloops has world-class sports facilities. It is sur-rounded by world-class golf courses. It has a world-class ski resort just a short jaunt up the highway.

What’s wrong with polish-ing that world-class reputation with a decent performing-arts centre?

VIEWPOINT

Let’s go for world class

THANK YOU, VOLUNTEERS

If ever there was a week to say thanks, it would be now, during National Volunteer Week in Canada.

This year, the message compares a volunteer action to a stone thrown in a lake.

There is the immediate effect of the splash, but then there are the ripples that spread far and wide to improve

communities.And, considering the number of hours volunteers put in, the

amount of ripples are huge.The last survey conducted by the federal government shows

that in 2010, 47 per cent of Canadians, aged 15 and up, each con-tributed an average of 156 hours, adding up to almost 2.1-billion

hours of volunteer time.That’s roughly the equivalent of 1.1-mil-

lion full-time jobs.Many of the events that bring life, energy

and tourism dollars to the community wouldn’t happen without volunteers.

Without the contribution of volunteers some work might never get done.

They build homes for the homeless, help out in schools and hospitals, clean garbage out of rivers, coach — you name it.

Their work is an extension of being a good neighbour and so much more — volunteerism is fundamental part of the very notion of community.

So, take the opportunity this week, and every week, to join us in thanking volunteers for all that they do to make our communi-ties better places to live.

RE: STORY: KAMLOOPS COUNCIL SETS 2015 TAX RATE; HOMEOWNERS TO PAY EXTRA $49 IN TAXES AND FEES:

Editor: It is with some dismay that I read nega-

tive comments online at kamloopsthisweek.com about the proposed performing-arts centre.

It is an element in the development of a city that makes it a city.

Aside from expanding the cultural opportunities for current residents, it pro-vides a substantial attraction for others

looking for a place to work and raise a fam-ily.

Insofar as over half of the world’s popu-lace lives in urban areas, our competition for professionals (read doctors) is tough.

We taxpayers have the opportunity to assist our recruitors in this pursuit by put-ting our money where our mouths are.

Doctors kicking the tires of Kamloops are not looking to buy an SUV, they are looking

for a whole family experience.I can think of no better way to work

together as a community than to approve the referendum in November and declare to prospective new families that Kamloops is indeed a great place to live.

We must make the first move.

While it would be nice, we don’t need a performing-arts centre.

CITY DOES NOT NEED A $90-MILLION ARTS CENTRE

ALL WIRED UP TO SPRUCE UP OUR VIEWS FROM WINDOWSEditor:

We have a beautiful city, but it is marred by companies that string satellite and TV cable and leave wires going nowhere, such as the one in this photo taken from my residence.

We have a loop of wires and a single wire dip-ping down low and tied off on the main line.

I submit this photo hoping these companies will remove old wires when they string new wires.

This photo is of the north lane of Pine Street and 12th Avenue in South Kamloops.

If they do not remove the old wires voluntari-ly, the city should make them remove old wires.

LOCAL NEWS

If they were on, the lights of a houseboat involved in a fatal colli-sion on Shuswap Lake would have been impos-sible to miss, according to an RCMP corporal who specializes in marine-vessel accident investigations.

RCMP Cpl. Richard Harry took the witness stand in Kamloops this week in the trial of Leon Reinbrecht, who is facing one count each of crimi-nal negligence causing death and criminal neg-ligence causing bodily harm.

Reinbrecht was charged following a July 3, 2010, crash on Shuswap Lake that killed Ken Brown. The trial has heard Reinbrecht’s speedboat collided head-on with Brown’s

houseboat in a night-time crash.

Throughout the trial, witnesses have given conflicting testimony about the lights on the houseboat. Some have said the houseboat was fully lit, while others tes-tified they could barely make it out from feet away.

Harry, who is based in Nanaimo with the RCMP’s West Coast Marine Services, said he was dispatched to Shuswap Lake the day after the crash.

Over nearly a week, court heard, Harry and a partner combed through the wreckage and took similar boats out on the water for baseline test-ing.

Harry said he had never seen anything like what he saw in Scotch Creek, where the wreck-age was stored.

“All of the other inves-tigations I’d done, the vessels had separated,” he said.

“In this case, the one vessel was still embed-ded in the other.”

Harry said part of his investigation was to remove the speedboat from the houseboat and document both vessels.

Part of that documen-tation included exam-ining the lights on the houseboat, court heard.

Harry said the house-boat was equipped with navigational lights — known as side lights — and a masthead light.

He said the side lights were located on the front of the vessel, one each on the top port and starboard sides. The masthead light was in the middle of the front of the boat.

“If you were in a head-on situation with

this vessel, you would see the masthead light plus both side lights,” he said.

Harry also described his findings about the capabilities of both boats.

After taking near-identical vessels on the water for testing, he said the speedboat had a top speed more than 80 km/h, while the house-boat’s speed would have topped out at about 16 km/h.

Harry said the speed-boat had responsive steering and was quite maneuverable, while the houseboat was slow and relatively unresponsive.

“As long as you’re thinking ahead [in the houseboat], the steering will do what you want it to,” he said. “But, it takes time for the larger vessel to make course changes.”

Previous witnesses have described seeing a speedboat being driven

erratically prior to the crash, with one wit-ness saying it sounded

like the boat was being operated at or near full throttle.

They cut fences and opened gates and allowed horses to escape.

But, the animals were rounded up by their owners before the culprits could complete their rustling attempt and load the animals into a stock trailer.

Kamloops Mounties are now look-ing for those behind suspected horse thefts in Cherry Creek this month.

Staff Sgt. Doug Aird of the Kamloops Rural RCMP said the latest incident took place on Monday just before 10:30 p.m., when residents on Cactus Road spotted a woman walking on private property and chased her away.

“The female appears to be the same one seen in other incidents, lurking on the property and driving a silver Subaru car,” Aird said.

Prior to that, another incident took

place on Saturday at about 9 p.m., also on Cactus Road, where a homeowner noticed someone had cut the wire fence, allowing eight horses to escape.

The horses were then rounded up.That incident was preceded by a

similar occurrence on April 9 when, at 10:14 p.m., a homeowner on the same road saw that someone had removed chains from the gate, allowing horses to run free.

All the animals were caught and returned.

Aird said a Subaru was seen in the area and left when the property owner tried to get a licence-plate number. In addition, a truck with a stock trailer was seen driving slowly on the roads at the same time.

Aird said neither of the vehicles were known to the property owner.

When Roger Wallis and his

climbing partner sum-mited the towering and remote spire in north-ern Wells Gray Park, there was little sting of disappointment when they discovered they weren’t the first.

“It was a beautiful, blue-sky day — cold, but perfect,” Wallis recalled of a break in a storm that allowed the veteran climber and partner Bill McKenzie to walk across a four-kilometre-wide glacier at the north edge of the park, up a rocky ridge and to the top of the peak without roping up.

“There was a cairn,” recalled the now 76-year-old Wallis, who has built many cairns on mountaintops after recording 85 first ascents on his resume.

“We didn’t mind. We thought it was a lovely hill on a beautiful day.”

The unnamed mountain was at the park’s remote north end. Its contour lines on maps that would give climbers a clue to its height were obscured by park lines drawn on maps.

The cairn found by Wallis contained no identifying information about the first climber or the date.

It remained iso-lated, unmeasured

and unknown.Wallis, a member

of the Alpine Club of Canada, first spotted the unnamed peak from a nearby mountain.

Measurements made by Wallis using GPS during that climb deter-mined the peak is the highest in Wells Gray Park — news that came via letter to the local author of a guidebook now in its sixth edition.

“I set the letter aside,” said Roland Neave, author of Exploring Wells Gray Park.

“For 40 years, I believed Garnet Peak was the highest.

“My father made the first ascent. It was a bit disappointing.”

Wallis’s ascent of the highest peak a decade ago was noted in the Canadian Alpine Journal. At 2,946 metres, it is taller than Garnet Peak’s 2,876 metres. The height of the unnamed peak determined by Wallis’s GPS was con-firmed by an official B.C. government map-ping number published earlier that year, unbe-knownst to Wallis.

In fact, Garnet is now measured as the third-highest peak, fol-lowing Mount Goodall (about six kilometres from the unnamed tall-est peak).

Wallis and two other climbers reached Goodall’s peak in 2006, determining it is about

60 metres higher than Garnet.

The tallest peak in the park remains an unnamed mountain first scaled by an anon-ymous climber.

One of those facts, however, is expected to change.

Custom has it the first person recorded to scale a mountain has the right to name it.

That has varied in recent times with recog-nition of First Nations names.

But, mountaintops unlikely to have been summited by indig-enous people remain part of the mountain-eering custom.

Wallis asked Neave for naming suggestions

and together they came up with Mount Lyons, after C.P. (Chess) Lyons, who surveyed the entire park in 1940 following its creation by a provin-cial order-in-council the previous year.

The suggestion to the office of B.C. Geographical Names by Neave will be accom-panied by support from other sources.

In addition to his surveying, Lyons was also a photographer, author and inveterate outdoorsman.

He was assisted in

his survey of the park’s mountains, rivers, creeks and contours by settlers and prospectors of the era, who helped trans-port him to its remote reaches by canoeing and backpacking.

“It was quite amaz-ing what he accom-plished,” said Neave.

Wallis believes Garnet Peak was assumed by many to be the tallest because it is visible from Clearwater Lake in the south and is more accessible.

The future Mount Lyons was obscured by

park bound-aries on maps and is difficult to access from the north, particu-larly because Class A parks do not allow heli-copter access.

The mountaineer identified it as his pre-ferred destination of “remote, obscure and easy” — for him, at least.

“Historically, all you guys from Kamloops and Clearwater all

entered from the south. “There are more

roads and you can canoe up . . . Historically, the north end has been neglected because of logistics,” Wallis said. “Nobody ever goes there.”

Introducing the mighty Mount LyonsEXPLORING WELLS

GRAY PARKNotes and measurement’s of Roger Wallis’s feat, along with the change in

claim to the biggest mountain in the park, are contained in the latest edition of Exploring Wells Gray Park.

It’s been a long time and 21,000 editions since author Roland Neave penned the first edition from work he did as a geography student at Simon Fraser University in the mid-1970s. The first book was self-published, the second by a professional publisher, the third by Friends of Wells Gray Park Society (now defunct) and all subsequent editions by Neave’s successful local firm, Wells Gray Tours.

Wallis’s findings were one of the impetuses for the new addition, along with publishing technology that now allows the use of full-colour photos and maps.

The latest edition continues its status as an authoritative road and trail guide-book, along with providing detailed history of one of the province’s most trea-sured wild spaces.

The Food Network Canada will find fresh footage in Kamloops tomorrow.

Food Factory, a show that looks behind the scenes at food production, will bring a crew of five to Fresh Is Best to shoot a segment on how the local company makes its guacamole.

“Everything was confirmed about two weeks ago,” Gerry Miller, the company’s commu-nity development co-ordinator, told KTW in a phone interview from Vancouver.

“We were ecstatic and ner-vous all at the same time. It’s a big leap for us.”

Miller said the network reached out to them about a year ago after someone in the office tried Fresh Is Best products.

Another Kamloops restau-rant was featured on The Food Network Canada in 2013; Fiesta Mexicana Restaurante and Cantina was featured on You Gotta Eat Here!.

Food Factory shows a behind-

the-scenes look at different foods and how they are mass-produced for consumers, with other recent episodes including products like Frank’s Red Hot Sauce and Rice-A-Roni.

Miller said the Fresh is Best operation — at 12-1425 Cariboo Pl. in Sahali— will be featured, but the guacamole will be high-lighted.

“We’re one of the very few Canadian manufacturers of gua-camole,” Miller said.

Those who watch the epi-sode, which is expected to air this fall, will learn how simple the process is, Miller said, from picking vegetables to hand-scooping avocados, prepping everything by hand, mixing it and sending it to the conveyor belt for packaging.

“It’s similar to what you would do in your kitchen, only on a much bigger scale,” he said.

Fresh Is Best was started by Colin and Lisa McGaffin, who still own the family business, at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market in 1999 and has become known for its hand-cut tortilla chips and garlicky fresh salsa.

Its products were picked up

by Save-On-Foods in the early 2000s and, Miller said, “it sort of went from there.”

It now operates two retail locations — one in Kamloops, the headquarters, and one on Broadway in Vancouver — and is sold in grocery stores through-out B.C. and Alberta.

With everything produced fresh in the River City, some products, such as the guacamo-le, don’t have the shelf life to be transported farther than those provinces, Miller said.

But, the company recently signed a deal with Sobeys that will see its salsa and chips reach as far as Manitoba.

“It’s been a long process,” Miller said.

“It’s the people of Kamloops that sort of made that happen for us.”

Miller said the company is tasked with feeding the Food Factory crew during the 12-hour filming session tomorrow and he is going all local.

“Left Field Cider.”“Red Collar Brewing.”“Taconomo,” he said.And, of course, Fresh Is Best

chips and salsa.

FOOD FACTORY COMING TO KAMLOOP

Holy moly, GUACAMOLE

Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani and Pixar president Ed Catmull are among renowned leaders coming to Kamloops — sort of.

The pair, along with other speakers, are tak-ing part in Leadercast, an event originating from Atlanta and being broadcast live to hun-dreds of cities, includ-ing Kamloops.

The Coast Hotel and Conference Centre will host the Leadercast simulcast on May 8.

This year’s speaker lineup includes: • Andy Stanley — leadership author and communicator; • Malala Yousafzai — Nobel Laureate and founder of The Malala Fund; • Ed Catmull — President of Pixar and Disney Animation Studios; • Seth Godin — best-selling author; • Rudy Giuliani — 107th mayor of New York City (1993-2001); • Aja Brown — City of Compton Mayor;

Bill McDermott — CEO of SAP AG; • Commander Rorke Denver — Navy Seal commander and author; • Bill and Giuliana Rancic — award-win-ning personalities and co-hosts of Leadercast.

Last year, more than 130,000 leaders from 35 countries attended Leadercast, which is now in its 16th year.

“We are thrilled to bring Leadercast to Kamloops,” said Deb McClelland, execu-tive director of the

Kamloops Chamber of Commerce.

“Although very focused on leadership, this conference goes beyond the topic and really shows you how to lead in life.”

The chamber and Canadian Western Bank are Leadercast sponsors.

Threat locks down Summit

Kamloops Mounties were at Summit ele-mentary in Sahali yes-terday afternoon after threats were made to the school.

The intersection of Monarch Drive and Gleneagles Drive was blocked off by about eight police vehicles.

Parents on the scene had not been given details about what was happening.

One onlooker run-ning up the street could be heard saying, “What’s going on? I’m freaking out.

“Are there kids in there?”

RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said the school was placed on lock-down after police were told of a threat made via telephone to the school just after 2 p.m.

Bush said the threat was non-specif-

ic, but with mention of a weapon.

It did not specifical-ly target an individual

or classroom. Police entered the

school upon arrival, but did not find any

danger to students. Between 3 p.m.

and 4 p.m., students were bussed from

Summit to nearby Pineridge elementary to be picked up by par-ents.

Parents, RCMP and other emergency crews gathered outside Pineridge elementary school yesterday to receive children being transported from nearby Summit elementary. Summit was placed on lockdown shortly after 2 p.m., after threats were made against the school.

Residential developers in downtown Kamloops will soon get a break on their taxes even if they don’t include rental units in their projects.

Kamloops city council has agreed to expand its downtown tax exemptions to include a 10-year, 100 per cent break on municipal taxes for projects that include new residential units.

A staff estimate puts the tax savings at $349,969 over the term for a new build-ing with 15 units, and $745,848 for a development with 53 units.

Previously, the city had offered a tax break for residential projects in which at least 50 per cent of the units built are for rent, but planning and development manager Randy Lambright said no one has taken the city up on the offer since that incentive was created.

The city also gives tax breaks on both the North Shore and downtown for rede-veloping brownfield sites, including for-

mer gas stations.Several councillors wanted to see

the downtown exemptions broadened further, to allow for other projects, such as converting unused office space into residential units.

Coun. Marg Spina is a fan of that idea, which she said could add more afford-able housing to the downtown.

“My caution would be that I want to see the affordability factor there so we’re not just making tax exemptions for high-end residential buildings,” she said.

Coun. Tina Lange sees the move away from rentals as positive for developing the core, arguing homeowners are more likely to stay in the area and become part of the downtown community.

“In order to build downtown, which is the most expensive per-square-foot land in the city, affordable housing isn’t going to be an option,” she said.

“If we want developers to build some-thing they can sell, affordable housing isn’t going to cut it.”

Coun. Arjun Singh floated a proposal

to allow tax breaks for second-floor con-versions, using another portion of the downtown tax bylaw which gives a break on improvements worth $100,000 or 30 per cent of a property’s assessed value if they also include improvements to the building’s appearance.

Singh suggested the city could waive appearance requirements in cases when residential conversion is taking place, but wasn’t able to convince a majority of council to take up his idea.

“Frankly, I’m not looking to convert office space into apartments in down-town Kamloops,” Mayor Peter Milobar said.

“I think we have that office space and we need to fill it up because that pro-vides employment for people to want to live in downtown Kamloops.”

Only Coun. Donovan Cavers opposed the new tax-break structure, saying the new exemptions are too broad and don’t allow council to pinpoint specific kinds of development it wants to encourage downtown.

An 18-year-old man will appear in court in Kamloops at a later date to face a charge con-nected to a break-in at the Westsyder Pub on Tuesday.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said Mounties responded to an alarm at the pub at 3369 Westsyde Rd. at 2:30 a.m.

There, officers found a door ajar and arrested a man inside.

“At the end of the day, we have somebody who wasn’t sentenced according to his criminal

record,” Caputo said.“That evidence was

not before the court by virtue of the fraud to the court by the the person James Whitford or Eric

Charlie or whatever we want to call him.

“The two are one in the same and they should be sentenced accord-ingly.”

Defence lawyer Kevin Walker said the burden of knowing an accused’s identity should lie with the Crown, not the alleged criminal.

“The Crown views the injustice is related to the fact the lengthy criminal record of Eric Charlie was not put before the various judges and they put the

blame on Mr. Charlie,” Walker said.

“But, in my submis-sion, the blame lies on the Crown.”

Walker said the issue goes to a person’s right to silence and principles against self-incrimination.

Court heard Charlie was fingerprinted each time he was arrested as Whitford, but local Mounties never ran the prints to determine if they matched anyone else in the system.

“The police took no steps to utilize the finger-print identification and photographic identifica-tion available to them,” Walker said.

“It’s about due dili-gence.”

In the end, none of it mattered, according to B.C. Supreme Court Justice William Ehrcke.

The judge tossed the appeal yesterday, ruling the Crown took too long to file its paperwork.

According to court rules, Crown appeals of sentences must be filed within 30 days of the original sentencing.

The Crown filed its appeals on June 17, 2014. Charlie’s last sentence as Whitford was handed down on Jan. 22, 2014.

“The Crown could have filed a notice of appeal before Feb. 22, 2014,” Ehrcke said.

“There is no satisfac-tory explanation as to why the Crown delayed.”

Charlie, meanwhile, remains behind bars awaiting trial on six counts of obstructing police stemming from the Whitford arrests.

Charlie still in jail

From A1

A 41-year-old Kamloops man accused of murdering his estranged girlfriend in December has been found mentally fit to stand trial.

Under the watch of two deputy sheriffs, Christopher Frank Butler appeared briefly in a Kamloops provin-cial court prisoners’ dock on Wednesday, almost a month after being ordered by a judge to undergo a psy-chiatric assessment.

Butler is charged with second-degree murder in the death of Deanne Wheeler, 26, whose body was found in a North Shore apart-ment on Dec. 30.

Kris Ruston was a bit surprised when he was approached to be part of Are We Cool Now?

He was stunned when he found out he was being courted to play drums in the production, the finale for this Western Canada Theatre season.

“I didn’t know anyone knew I could play drums,” he said.

He learned not only did Doug Perry, owner of Perry’s Recording Studio, know Ruston could handle the sticks, he saw him as “somebody who could just fit the show.”

The play, which follows a young couple on a road trip of self-discovery, is propelled by songs from Juno Award-winning musician Dan Mangan.

Ruston said he was familiar with Mangan’s work, having performed some of them with another former Kamloops musi-

cian — Anita Eccleston. He listened to it again and

knew he could handle it. “So, it was time to dust off the

old drum set,” he said.Ruston, best known for the

bands he’s performed with, has done work in theatre before with BC Living Art’s Wembley Awaits and WCT’s Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.

He’s looking forward to the Mangan play because writer/director Amiel Gladstone has put together an Americana folk-

blues play with a story around the songs.

Rehearsals have been fun, he said, because there’s a fluidity to them as the work takes shape.

Having never been performed before — it was looked at last year in a workshop — there are nuanc-es that pop up as the two-person cast and backup musicians Ruston and Mike Turner make their way through the script.

He won’t spend all his time behind the drums, Ruston said.

“There are some tunes with no

drum, so I can bounce around a bit. With one, I’m playing piano.

“I love theatre work. I was never a theatre guy, but work-ing on Joseph and with Marek [Norman, the musical director for that production], it was such a pleasure working with him and WCT. I would go out of my way to work with them.”

Making theatre fromDan Mangan’s music

The list is long — I Dreamed A Dream, Hello Dolly, Hair — all songs that made the charts after being featured in

musical theatre.Amiel Gladstone had another

idea.He wanted to take songs that

have already cracked the radio charts and wrap a piece of the-atre around them.

The result is Are We Cool Now?, a play about a young couple who meet and head out on a road trip to reflect on themselves and each other, all moved along by the songs of B.C. indie-rocker Dan Mangan.

“I was curious about if there was a way to get the feeling of a rock concert in a theatre,” Gladstone said.

He knew Mangan and float-ed the idea past him, only to be told by the singer-songwriter: “I think you’re a bit crazy, but let’s do it.”

The play opens to pre-views tonight in the Pavilion Theatre, a venue that is perfect, Gladstone said, because it’s inti-mate, but not too small.

He’s thrilled to be staging

the play in Kamloops, having worked with Western Canada Theatre in the past, directing 52 Pick Up in 2001 and handling the assistant-director role for No Exit in 2009.

Gladstone credits his high school in Lumby for fuelling his theatrical side, giving him the opportunity to be at the front of the stage and off in the wings for productions.

The interest stoked, he stud-ied theatre at the University of Victoria.

After graduating, Gladstone started an alternative theatre company in Victoria before moving on to be artistic associ-ate at Caravan Farm Theatre and the Belfry Theatre.

There have also been stops with other theatres, as well, and he’s published a book of his plays — Hippies and Bolsheviks and Other Plays.

In fact, a list of plays he’s been associated with in one

way or another and awards he has received fills two pages.

More recently, opera has caught his eye and he has worked with Vancouver Opera to present Lucia di Lammermoor and Jack Pine — the latter a world premiere.

Are We Cool Now? is also a premiere, heading to Vancouver after the Kamloops run.

It’s very much a fluid play at this point because, with any new play, there’s a unique process bringing it to life with no other touchstones to refer to.

The cast is small, just Ben Elliott as the man and Penelope Corrin as the woman. Corrin counts among her resume credits being part of CBC’s Royal Canadian Air Farce, while Elliottt has acted with other the-atre companies including Bard on the Beach, the Arts Club and the Belfry Theatre.

This is the first time either has worked with Western Canada Theatre.

Also on stage will be Kamloops musicians Mike Turner and Kris Ruston provid-ing backup music.

It’s the last play of the 2014-2015 season for WCT and runs from April 16 to May 2.

Tickets are at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Laura Hargrave restricts herself while drawing.

For her works on display at Chazou Gallery as part of Drawing on the Edge, the Kamloops artist taped toothpicks to the ends of her fingers with masking tape and dipped them into coloured pots of ink, which were set up in front of her, before cre-ating her art.

It’s a technique she calls five-finger draw-ing.

“I find that I’m able to obtain a more expressive line,” she told KTW.

“In feeling this lack of control, it comes out in the drawing.”

Hargrave has been practising art most of her life and

got her start as a museum technician in Victoria, eventually going on to obtain a fine-arts degree at the University of Victoria and her masters of fine arts in visuals studio arts from the University of Regina.

She taught at Thompson Rivers University in the art department for 20 years before retiring in 2010 and, eventu-ally, returning to teach in the open-learning department.

“I found that I missed interaction with people and talking about art,” Hargrave said.

Her preferred medi-um is drawing because of its immediacy.

With no second steps, she said, it’s as simple as the brain to the arm to the paper.

It was in 2007 that she began experiment-ing with restriction while drawing.

Her subject was

memory loss and she hoped to portray empathy by drawing behind her back.

“I was drawing and remembering my dad’s lack of short-term memory,” she said.

The 25-or-so small ink drawings and two larger six-foot draw-ings on display at Chazou again explore the subject of loss, but in a more general way — something she has recognized with age.

“There can be all types of loss,” she said, noting everything from loss of a home to a rou-tine or spouse, among others.

“I’m hoping I’ll be able to convey my empathetic relation-ship with them [those who have lost] through my drawings.”

While the smaller drawings were created using her five-finger method, the two larger pieces combine tech-niques.

The background of Transitions, for exam-ple, combines chalk, pastel and charcoal to create a “very active background” swirling around the figure.

She left space and next drew a character onto the background with the tooth picks and used a blindfold, to further restrict her-self.

“It was becoming a little bit too con-trolled,” she said.

“Sometimes it becomes a little bit too precious.”

Drawing on the Edge also features works by Ann Kipling, Aganetha Dyck and Tricia Sellmar.

The exhibit will be featured at the gallery, at 791 Victoria St., until May 15.

It is open Wednesday to Friday from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Spot Red, Black


Holly Eburne had reached her break-ing point.

Her husband, Dave, was suffering from dementia, unaware of the crippling financial blow the couple had just suffered — they were victims of a Ponzi-scheme fraud that cost them their life savings.

“I’m up in the kitchen and I’m making dinner and I’m hating it. I’m hating it. I’m hating the life I have,” Holly said.

“Dave is enjoying his rum and coke and doing his puz-zles and not having a clue what the financial situation is like. He doesn’t know what the future is and he doesn’t know that I’m scrambling to even just stay alive.

“I wanted to scream and I wanted to cry, but Dave was sensitive to loud noises. I just put my head down and it hit me — wow, I have a choice.”

The longtime physical therapist could have walked away and left children Kyle and Amy to deal with Dave and the financial turmoil, or passed the responsibilities on to her husband’s family.

“I broke,” Holly said. “I sat on the floor and I just thought, ‘I don’t know how I’m going to do this.’ The pain was just so great.

“But, I decided, are you kidding me? I am not walking away from this. That was the beginning of my life turnaround.”

After an eight-year fight against dementia and ALS, Dave died peacefully on Jan. 31 in the family’s home on

Campbell Creek Road. He was 65.

Holly stood by his side until he could

no longer stand.The Kamloops Rugby

Club is dedicating its matches this weekend to Dave, paying respect to the man who volunteered hun-dreds of hours coaching the Raiders.

Dave was a great player in his younger days, logging three appearances with the national team, including a cap in the first test match between Canada and the U.S. — a 17-6 victory for the Canadians at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby on May 21, 1977.

He finished his on-field career with the Kamloops Silver Sage in the 1980s.

Donations to the ALS Society will be accepted at the games on Saturday at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh.

The Brit Lions of Delta will be in town, with the women kicking off at 11:30 a.m. and the men to follow at 1 p.m.

A longtime School District 73 teacher, Dave also helped coach rugby at the high-school level, and spent time working with Kamloops Search and Rescue, local ski patrol and St. John Ambulance.

There will be a celebra-tion of life for Dave at the South Thompson Inn at 2 p.m. on May 2. Anyone wish-ing to pay their respects is invited.

The Eburnes were hit with the first bombshell in March of 2007, when the couple, then in their mid-50s, was told Dave was suf-fering from frontal temporal dementia.

“You go into shock,” Holly

said. “It was disbelief. The doctor was showing me the CT scan. There were black-ened areas in certain parts of the brain. He said it’s fluid and the brain is dying.

“At that point, I had levitated, like I was looking down on the scene. Walking to the elevator with Dave, I couldn’t feel my feet.”

Dave questioned whether he would have to stop driv-ing and wondered why the doctor advised the family to get their wills in order.

The couple had settled into a new normal in 2008 when the second bombshell dropped.

Holly was reading about two men who were jailed for operating a major Ponzi scheme, convincing inves-tors to buy into a gold mine in Central America.

“I knew right away that there was going to be no more money,” Holly said.

“I had de-registered every single cent of our 30-year savings, RRSPs and taken out my hospital pension — every bit of it.

“We had a condo at Sun Peaks. I didn’t know how I was going to make mortgage payments at the end of the month and I certainly didn’t know how I was going to support Dave.”

After she peeled herself off the floor, staving off thoughts of leaving her life behind, Holly dedicated herself to helping her hus-band — and pursued a new outlook on her seemingly hopeless situation.

She wrote in a gratitude journal, made dates to be with friends, hired a life coach and exercised often.

Gradually, “the darkness turned to light,” Holly said.

Dave surrendered his driver’s licence 2009, but stayed active, hiking and cycling for hours on end, making trips downtown before returning home, a long trek back through Barnhartvale.

The regression in Dave’s mental health became increasingly noticeable and watching her father’s decline was heartbreaking for daughter Amy.

“The hardest part was knowing that my dad was full of information,” said Amy, a massage therapist in Revelstoke. “He was such a smart, talented, loving person and he had so much information still in his brain that I wasn’t able to get from him.

“The wood carving. He’d build houses. And, all his stories of travelling overseas. And, the rugby games he’d tell me about, and the dirty moves he would pull on the field.

“There were stories trapped in there that I couldn’t get out of him.”

He deteriorated slowly and remained active until November of 2013, when Holly was left searching for Dave in the woods near their home after he fell and couldn’t get up. It was the second time that had hap-pened.

“I had a very frank con-versation with him,” Holly recalled. “He would say, ‘I don’t like it. My body doesn’t do what I want it to do. I miss hiking. I miss my bike.’”

Eburne’s legacy lives on at KRC

Dave Eburne, captured by The Courier playing for the UBC Thunderbirds against a touring Japanese team in Burnaby in 1976, will be remembered this weekend at the Kamloops Rugby Club. The Raiders are dedicating their games on Saturday to Eburne, who died in January after an eight-year battle with dementia and ALS.

SUN COUNTRY TOYOTA SCION

It was during the second game, one scheduled at the ungodly hour of 8:30 in the morning on

a Saturday — a mere seven hours after the last drop of red wine had passed my lips — that I stopped and

searched for my groin.It had to be some-

where on the scuffed floor because I damn sure felt it tear from my body as I lunged yet again for a squash ball that refused to greet my racquet.

It had been seven months since I had

stepped into the squash courts at No Limits Fitness and, after a lightning-fast entrance and exit in the first annual No Limit Spring Squash Open Tournament, it was evident a few (hundred) pickup games should have been in order.

Playing squash in a tournament after not handling a racquet for more than a half-year only reinforced the old adage that you don’t play squash to get in shape; you get in shape to play squash.

My final box score could have formed the end of a dyslexic report-er’s story: 0-3, 0-3, 0-3.

Despite being swept like a ball of dust in an unused room, there were some points on Fouldsy’s side of the ledger and, more

importantly, the tour-nament has to be con-sidered a success.

No Limits Fitness co-owners Andrew and Lisa Watson and Darren and Maria Maywood, the 30-plus sponsors, the tourney organizers and the 32 players combined to breathe life into a sport that had been gone for far too long in the

Tournament Capital.When No Limits’

20,000 square feet of fitness rose from the ashes of Malone’s on Eighth Street in January 2013, it marked the return to Kamloops of squash and racquetball for the first time since Malone’s shut down its racquetball courts in 2010 and the Racquetor shuttered its squash operation in 2008.

(Yes, there were the two shabby courts above the gym at Thompson Rivers University, which could still serve a purpose on the South Shore if not for the fact they are crammed with stuff the university will likely never use. The school of higher learning should be ashamed of itself for using squash courts for storage.)

Last weekend, the hive of activity inside and outside the two courts at No Limits should serve as proof squash is indeed a sport that has abundant interest in Kamloops — if only there are courts on which to play and sufficient promotion of those courts.

The tourney fea-tured awe-inspiring A-level players, solid B-level players, a sepa-rate women’s division of impressive talent and a final grouping for wheezing hacks like me.

There were even a few players from out of town who travelled to Kamloops from Vancouver and Prince George and points between, thereby officially making the first annual No Limits Spring Squash Open

Tournament an event that had an eco-nomic impact on the Tournament Capital.

For those who have a racquet gathering dust in the garage and for those who have always wanted to give the sport a try, there are two courts and count-less players waiting to ease you into that lung-ing world between four walls.

Fridays at noon and 6 p.m. are reserved for drop-in sessions.

Wednesday night leagues run each fall and winter.

In addition, there is a Facebook group, No Limits Fitness Squash Pick-up, for those look-ing for opponents.

It’s next to that other Facebook group — Help Us Find Fouldsy’s Groin.

Dave fell and broke his hip in October. He began asking when he could return home.

“I gave him the date Jan. 15,” Holly said.

“He came home and, two weeks later, he passed away. He started shutting down.

“He wanted to come home to pass away. He had had enough.”

Holly remembers the day she had to cancel Setanta, the TV network that provided Dave with his rugby fix. Moments like that must underscore the finality of his departure.

The 180-degree turn-around in Holly’s life is well represented in her new line of work, a job that keeps her busy when she’s not at Holly Eburne Physiotherapy.

She is a life coach and oper-

ates Holly Eburne Coaching out of her home.

“When I had the real episode six-and-a-half years ago, it was a life coach that was a real factor in turning me around, to get a different perspective,” she said.

“It was a natural transition.”Holly had worked for more

than 30 years to achieve her dream of going to the Olympics and working with Canada’s medical staff.

Knowing what was to come, she had to decline the freestyle skiing team’s invitation to attend the Games in Vancouver in 2010.

Sacrifices like those were what it took to fulfill her pact with Dave — “I told him I’d be with him until the end.” — and she tends not to dwell on missed opportunities.

“I’ve had eight years to cry about it, eight years to get used to losing him,” said Holly, who met Dave when she was life-guarding in Vancouver in 1974.

“I’m just really grateful that I got the time that I was mar-ried to him and for what he has taught me and for what I con-tinue to learn from him.”

The TRU WolfPack baseball team improved to 12-4 on the weekend, scor-ing wins against the University of Calgary Dinos and the Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs of Lethbridge at Norbrock Stadium.

The WolfPack will be home again this weekend, their final homestand of the Canadian College Baseball Conference season, with games at Norbrock against the Okanagan College Coyotes of Kelowna

and the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners.

Games go at noon and 6 p.m. on Saturday and 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. on Sunday.

TRU sewed up two of its three weekend victories on Saturday, April 11, first defeating the Dawgs 15-7, then topping the Dinos 14-9.

Pack pitcher Alex Reid picked up his league-leading fourth victory of the season against the Dawgs, going seven innings and surrendering seven runs, two walks and six strikeouts.

Shortstop Brendan Reid went 4-for-5 with four runs batted in.

In the afternoon

tilt against the Dinos, it was pitcher Mike Gilfillan picking up the win in relief. Jason Tripp pitched the eighth and ninth innings, striking out two while allowing just one hit, for the save.

Luc Simpson was 3-for-4 at the plate with two RBI.

FALL RIVER, Mass. — Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was con-victed of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison yester-day for a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40-million contract and a standout career ahead of him.

Hernandez, 25, who had been considered one of the top tight ends in professional football, pursed his lips and sat down after the jury fore-woman pronounced him guilty in the slay-ing of Odin Lloyd, a 27-year-old landscaper and amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancee.

The conviction carries a mandatory sentence of life without parole and automati-cally triggers an appeal

to Massachusetts’ high-est court.

Hernandez’s mother, Terri, and his fiancee, Shayanna Jenkins, cried and gasped when they heard the verdict.

Jenkins wept loudly on his mother’s shoul-der.

Hernandez, his eyes red, mouthed to them: “Be strong. Be strong.”

Lloyd’s mother also cried.

Jurors deliberated for 36 hours over seven days before rendering their decision, which also included convic-tions on weapons charges.

“The jury found that he was just a man who committed a bru-tal murder,” District Attorney Thomas Quinn said after the verdict. “The fact that he was a professional athlete meant nothing in the end.”

Lloyd was shot six times on June 17, 2013, in a deserted industrial park near Hernandez’s

home in North Attleborough.

The motive has never been explained.

Police almost imme-diately zeroed in on the former Pro Bowl athlete because they found in

Lloyd’s pocket the key to a car the NFL player had rented. Within hours of Hernandez’s arrest, the Patriots cut him from the team.

The team declined to comment on the verdict.

NATIONAL SPORTS

SELKIRK, Man. — A sheet of hockey ice was lit-tered with trash cans, water bottles, coins and blood after a brawl at the end of a junior playoff game in Manitoba that’s now under an RCMP investigation.

The arena was packed with fans from both teams last Friday when the Selkirk Fishermen beat the Peguis Juniors 9-0 in Selkirk to win the seventh game of the Keystone Junior B Hockey League championship series.

Peguis coach Farron Cochrane said the gloves came off when the players got angry over what he calls some unfair penalties with just over a minute left in the third period.

Mounties went to the game twice — once to cool tempers after an on-ice call and the second time when the situation got out of control.

Three Selkirk players have been suspended for two games in the Keystone Cup, which begins today, and league commissioner Rick Olson expects to hand out more suspensions.

Police are still interviewing people involved in the brawl and said it’s possible charges could be laid.

Fishermen fan Josh Isfjord witnessed the melee from the stands.

“It was nuts. I saw one kid actually throw hock-ey pucks at the Selkirk bench,” said Isfjord. “Once they were up nine-nothing, Peguis wanted nothing of it. They couldn’t win the game, so I think they kind of just tried to take it out in fights.”

Referees ended the game early. Cochrane said he’s ashamed of what happened.

“I didn’t send them out there to do this stupid stuff. I guess they were so frustrated and I can’t get on the ice to stop them.”

Selkirk wouldn’t comment on the brawl, but coach Chris Poponick tweeted a photo of one of his players beaten and bruised, wearing a blood-stained uniform and holding the championship trophy.

The tweet said, “This is a Selkirk Fisherman warrior.”

Hockey player Jarrod Skazyk said the brawl has no place in the game.

“It should be a celebration of a championship and, instead, you’re having to deal with something like that.”

Mercedes tops sales history due to demand in Asia, United States

FRANKFURT — Luxury car maker Mercedes-Benz saw its highest monthly sales ever in March.

The brand owned by Daimler AG got a boost from a recover-ing auto market in Europe and a

big increase in China.Mercedes-Benz sold 183,467

vehicles last month worldwide, an increase of 15.7 per cent from the same month a year earlier.

The sales numbers were

boosted by strong growth in Asia and in Europe, still the company’s biggest market.

Europe sales rose 16.3 per cent while China alone was up 20.8 per cent.

— The Canadian Press

DRIVEWAYVOLVO PLANS TO OPEN FIRST U.S. PLANTDETROIT — Volvo Cars is planning to build its first-ever United States assembly plant as part of a push to increase sales there.

The $500 million plant will be Volvo’s first in North America.

The Swedish auto-maker says it has a short list of possible locations.

The company is expected to announce the location in the next few months.

Volvo has been owned by Chinese automaker Geely Holding since 2010.

It currently has two plants in Europe and two in China.

Volvo CEO Hakan Samuelsson said the decision to open a U.S. plant highlights Volvo’s long-term com-mitment to the U.S. market.

Volvo has sold cars in the U.S. since 1955, but the brand strug-gled after its sale to Ford Motor Co. in 1999.

Its products got old and couldn’t compete with newer rivals from Audi and others.

Geely bought Volvo from Ford for $1.8 bil-lion, a fraction of the $6.4 billion Ford had paid to acquire it.

Now, Volvo is hop-ing new vehicles — including the upcoming XC90 SUV, which goes on sale this summer — and a bigger manufacturing footprint will help it double its U.S. sales to 100,000 over the next few years.

Sweden’s Volvo Group — the former parent of Volvo Cars — already has a manu-facturing presence in the U.S.

It makes trucks at a plant in Dublin, Virginia and engines in Hagerstown, Maryland.

It also has a U.S. headquarters in North Carolina. But Volvo’s car division was separated from that business when it was bought by Ford.

Suspension lift popular modi� cation

Purchasing a new or used truck is exciting but per-sonalizing

it is even more fun.Believe me when

I tell you, buying the truck is the cheap part.

I have seen people over the years spend upwards of $25,000 or more on customizing.

One of the more popular things to do these days is to install a suspension lift along with larger tires and wheels.

If you’re going to tackle this yourself, here are a few things you should know.

InstallationMany manufactur-

ers offer manuals for installing lift kits but some installations are intricate, requiring welding or cutting in

order to add necessary components.

In this case, having a mechanic or a few knowledgeable friends around will help make the job go smoothly.

Additional modi� cations

Upgrading to taller tires also means a number of compo-

nents may require part upgrades or some tun-ing to compensate.

For instance, a truck’s engine is tuned at specific gear ratios to propel the vehicle.

When adding taller tires, the gear ratios must be changed accordingly, since the engine has to spin much larger,

heavier tires. You will also be

required to purchase a speedometer recalibra-tion tool, so you have an accurate reading.

Again, consult with more experienced individuals for further insight.

Highway drivingLarger, wider tires

can sometimes result in instability on roads or a noisy, uncomfort-able ride, particularly at high speeds.

Also, more aggres-sive off-road tires tend to wear faster on the highway and traction might not be as great as you would expect on wet roads.

WeightLarger tires are

heavier, which can put strain on your suspen-sion, particularly if it is a stock suspension.

Trusted, durable suspension com-ponents and lighter aluminum wheels can sometimes help to reduce the strain.

HandlingAdding a truck

suspension lift kit will undoubtedly raise the vehicle’s centre of grav-ity, resulting in less -stable turns.

This is a com-mon problem when

installing lift kits, but is mostly a matter of becoming accustomed to a vehicle’s change in performance.

LegalitySome lift kits create

such a serious change in your suspension system that it may not be legal.

Check the suspen-sion regulations within the province to be sure.

Other useful accessories

Before installing a lift kit, it’s a good idea to examine if any com-ponents will be affect-ed by your vehicle’s new height.

Here are a few useful accessories that may need to be upgraded:

Brake upgrades Stock brakes do

not always accommo-date larger tires or will wear easily due to the

added strain.

Drivetrain and di� erential

Axles, gears, differ-ential covers, lockers and more ensure that your drivetrain is up to par with your suspen-sion.

Replacement partsLonger Control

Arms and Track Bars to compensate for the additional height of your truck.

ShocksFor those taller

lifts, longer shocks will ensure the smoothest performance both on and off road.

Other partsSteering linkage,

slip yoke, drive shaft length, u-joint angle, and brake lines are all worthy of consideration before installing suspension lift kits.

MRS. DONNA MARIE STEINMETZ September 4, 1932 - April 5, 2015

Mrs. Donna Marie Steinmetz passed away peacefully at Hospice in Kamloops on April 5, 2015, aged 82 years. She is predeceased by her husband Jack, and son Michael.Lovingly remembered by her daughter Cathy Gerry, husband Deane of Kamloops, son David Steinmetz, wife Caroline of Scotland, Ontario, many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, as well as many friends and relatives.She was born September 4, 1932 in Brantford, Ontario. Jack and her married there on July 4, 1953 and shared nearly 50 years together. They worked dawn to dusk as tobacco farmers and volunteered endless hours for the Order of the Eastern Star and Lion’s Club. For leisure they 5 pin bowled, danced at the community halls and later enjoyed garage sales. She collected carnival glass, blue mountain pottery, red rose tea ornaments and Doulton mugs. Her flower gardens were amazing, just like the delectable smells of goodies from her kitchen. She also had a talent for decorating cakes. Donna was a voracious reader and once due to lack of material read the phonebook. In April 2007 she moved to Kamloops given 6 months to live due to cancer. She enjoyed eight more years of reading, word search books, listening to music and family get togethers. Never forgotten, she will remain in our hearts.Donna requested no service but the family invites friends to celebrate her life on Saturday, April 18th, from 1:00 - 4:00 pm, at their home, 937 Fleming Circle, Kamloops.Special thanks to Dr. Paul Yanko, Berwick, ER, Five North, and Hospice staff for their unending kind words and gentle care. We are blessed to have dedicated people like this in our community. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice or the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

The ShipI am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!”

Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her.

And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

The family of Gordon Woldum is sad to announce Gordon’s passing after a brief battle with cancer. He is lovingly remembered by his three children Doug, Rick (Cheryl), Debbie (John), and his five grandchildren (Nathan, JJ, Dylan, Amanda and Nicole). Also left to cherish his memory are his brother Nelson Woldum and sister Doreen Hamling. Gordon was pre-deceased by his wife, Jean, and his parents (Nathan and Alice).

DOUG HAGANDoug Hagan died at the age of 63 after a long and courageous battle with cancer with his wife by his side.

Doug moved to Kamloops at the age of 4 when his father started Hagan Refrigeration. Doug attended school in Kamloops and then entered the refrigeration trade following in his father’s footsteps.

Later Doug opened Belmont Display Fixtures where his technical sales ability was something to behold. The game of sales was set deeply in his heart. Doug could easily sell refrigeration equipment while taking in a round of golf.

Doug enjoyed nothing more than being with family and friends enjoying a great meal, a good bottle of wine and possibly winning in a game of crib.

Doug and Vicky shared great times in their second home in Arizona, with many friends.

Doug’s life seemed too short for many of those who were touched by his fun nature and generous heart.

He gave much joy to his friends and family, and will be kept forever in our hearts.

Doug was survived by his soul mate Vicky, his children Anndrea (Kevin), Ryan (Jermaine) and Bridge (Cher), eight grandchildren, his brother Roger (Brenda) and many extended family.

Doug was predeceased by his mother and father Don and Donna and nephew Mathew.

The family would like to thank Dr. Whiltshire and Lori, Dr. Gabriel and staff at the RIH cancer clinic, the hospitalists and staff at RIH, and finally the wonderful care given at Hospice.

Each Loss ...Each loss is very different,The pain is so severe.Will I ever stop missingThis one I loved so dear?

Good times we had together,

The moments that we shared

We didn’t have to tell each other

How much we really cared.

I never dreamed you’d go away,

Never thought of sorrow.So sure you’d always be

hereTook for granted each

tomorrow.

Now my life is all confusedSince you went away.You took a part of meAnd for help I daily pray.

But when God sent you to me

He never said that you were mine,

That I could keep you always –

Only borrowed for a time.

Now, He’s called you home,I’m sad and I shed tears.Yet I’m glad He loaned you

to meAnd we had these many

years.

Lincoln assassination may have had ties to Canada

The assassination of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln is an undisputed cornerstone of American history, but those who have studied the events suggest both the origin and ending of that seminal moment have ties to Canada.

Some historians suspect the groundwork for a plot to kill the U.S. Civil War president was partially laid in a Canadian city that had become a haven for his political foes.

When a simplified version of that plot succeeded 150 years ago in April 1865, they say it was a Canadian who ultimately led the effort that brought down Lincoln’s assassin.

Historian John Boyko researched Canada’s direct con-tribution to the 19th-century conflict in his book Blood and Daring: How Canada Fought the American Civil War and Forged a Nation.

He said John Wilkes Booth, the American stage actor whose fame shifted to infamy after kill-ing the president, had long been conspiring to bring down the

anti-slavery, union government.Boyko said his plans almost

certainly came under discussion when Booth made a nine-day visit to Montreal in October 1864.

“What Booth was trying to do was put together a team of people that could arrange the kidnapping, later the assassina-tion, of Lincoln,’’ Boyko said in a telephone interview from Lakefield, Ont.

“It was very difficult to do in Washington because there were so many spies for the government.

“But, if you go to where other Confederate spies are, then you know that you don’t necessar-ily have to watch your back like you were in the United States, and that you were going to have the kind of people that are going to back you in the enter-prise. The best place to do that was Montreal.’’

History shows American southerners opposed to Lincoln’s policies were able to find safe haven with their northern neighbour, which was officially not involved in the Civil War.

University of Toronto profes-sor Robert Bothwell said both Toronto and Montreal emerged

as particular hubs of anti-union activity, noting Confederate President Jefferson Davis even-tually made Montreal his home in the years after his cause was defeated.

Bothwell said Confederate sympathizers likely found pock-ets of strong support for their views in Canada, where British-born colonialists who shared their pro-slavery sentiments had also developed some anti-American feelings of their own.

“They really wanted to see the end of the union and of the United States,’’ Bothwell said of the Canadian sympathizers.

“Some of it is just strategic. If the United States were weak-ened, British North America plus the Confederacy would make for a very different kind of continent.’’

Boyko said Booth and several like-minded people gathered at Montreal’s St. Lawrence Hall, a hotel whose pro-southern lean-

ings prompted it to advertise “the best mint juleps in the city.’’

Historical accounts sug-gest Booth spoke openly of his disdain for Lincoln during that trip.

Documents also showed that he made withdrawals from a local bank during his stay, records of which were found on his body when he died.

Boyko contends a Canadian was masterminding an escape plan for one of his co-conspir-ators.

John Surratt, the son of a woman who was ultimately hanged for her role in the assassination plot, was actively involved in the initial scheme to abduct the president.

When that plan was scrapped and Booth had succeeded in his new efforts to kill Lincoln, Boyko said Surratt sought ref-uge in the city that Booth had haunted months before.

“When the assassination happened he took off back to Montreal,’’ Boyko said.

“It was a Montreal priest that hid him and eventually scur-ried him out of the country and over to Europe where he could escape justice.’’

DANCE DIRECTIONSAdams Lake Band elder Pete Anthony (left) dances during the 4th annual TREC Four Directions Traditional Pow Wow with Jingle dancer Sheanan Waskewitch and Imani Berridge on Tuesday in the Twin Rivers Education Centre gymnasium.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

OTTAWA — The prime minister’s for-mer chief of staff Nigel Wright once referred to the Mike Duffy affair as “Chinese water torture.’’ It appears the drip, drip, drip of information at Duffy’s trial will spill over its sched-uled end date.

That could mean many things — including days in court this summer, in the orbit of the election campaign in the fall, or even an extension of the case into 2016.

The longer the trial goes, the bet-ter the chance that the details of the Auditor General’s forensic audit of all senators, due in June, could be refer-enced in court.

The suspended senator and for-mer Conservative faces 31 counts of fraud, breach of trust and bribery, all related to expenses and contracts he signed.

Ontario court Justice Charles Vaillancourt finally said yesterday what many in the courtroom had been guessing about since last week.

“I don’t see us completing our task in the assigned number of days,’’ Vaillancourt said.

The trial was originally scheduled to run until June 19, with a break from May 13 to May 31 while one of the Crown prosecutors deals with pre-trial responsibilities in another case.

But seven days into the process, only two witnesses have taken the stand, even though dozens are expected to testify.

Defence lawyer Donald Bayne is going deep into the Senate’s often broad rules and procedures with each witness, trying to demonstrate his client operated within the lines.

The Crown has had about three hours of questions through the entire stretch.

The likelihood of more days sim-ply getting tacked on in June and July is unclear. All players in the trial must look at their timetables, and there must be room available in the Ottawa courthouse.

There are more challenges when looking at the fall schedule. Crown Prosecutor Mark Holmes is booked to work a murder trial. October is the time foreseen for the trial of for-mer Liberal senator Mac Harb, who is also facing charges of fraud and

breach of trust in relation to his liv-ing expenses.

Outside the courthouse, the Toronto-based Vaillancourt told reporters the Duffy case is a priority.

“They can always rearrange my schedule in Toronto and then I’ll come up here and deal with the case here,’’ he said.

Vaillancourt said he couldn’t speculate on whether the case would run into the election period this fall, or into 2016.

“I don’t know how long it’s going to take, because I don’t control the number of witnesses, or how long it takes with each witness. So we’ll just have to wait and see,’’ he said.

Yesterday, Bayne continued a second day of cross-examination of Senate human resources officer Sonia Makhlouf.

A set of charges that Duffy faces relate to $65,000 in contracts awarded to friend Gerald Donohue’s company. Some of that money sub-sequently filtered down to other service providers, including an office volunteer, a makeup artist, and a photo developing shop.

Bayne pointedly went through some of these examples with Makhlouf, arguing that while Duffy probably should have used a differ-ent procedure to cover the photo service costs, that doesn’t mean they weren’t legitimate expenses.

Likewise for the $500 paid to office volunteer Ashley Cain, via the Donohue contract.

“It’s not a private personal mat-ter, he’s not lining his pockets, he’s not painting his house, he’s trying to run his office and he’s got services from a good worker over a four-to-five-month period and that’s clearly in relation to his activities in the Senate,’’ said Bayne.

“Yes,’’ said Makhlouf.All of this meant to support

Bayne’s contention that Duffy might have made administrative mistakes, but is not guilty of criminal behaviour.

Bayne drew attention to the fact that the contracts in question were put in place before the Senate tight-ened some of its procurement poli-cies in 2011.

After the changes in 2011, officials said senators could make their own arrangements only ``in emergency situations.’’

DUFFY’S COURT CASE COULD RUN INTO 2016SUSPENDED SENATOR’S TRIAL UNLIKELY TO WRAP BY MID JUNE. JUDGE SAYSTHE CANADIAN PRESS

City councillors can’t say their prayers at meetingsMONTREAL — In a deci-sion that had an immediate impact in several cities and towns across the country, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled yesterday that prayers cannot be recited before municipal council meetings in Saguenay, Que.

The reading of a Catholic prayer at council meetings infringes on freedom of con-science and religion, the court said in a unanimous ruling.

Canadian society has evolved and given rise to a “concept of neutrality accord-ing to which the state must not interfere in religion and beliefs,’’ the judgment said.

“The state must instead remain neutral in this regard.’’

The ruling ended an eight-year legal battle that pitted atheist Alain Simoneau and a secular-rights organization

against Saguenay mayor Jean Tremblay.

While Tremblay will address reporters on Thursday, the effect of the high court’s deci-sion was felt immediately as other Canadian cities began to act.

Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson suspended prayers at a city council meeting yesterday pending a review of the deci-sion, while the mayor of Levis, Que., said he’ll do the same at a council meeting next week.

Several other Ontario cities, including Windsor, say they’ll do away with the Lord’s Prayer in the wake of the ruling, but the mayors of Winnipeg and Oshawa, Ont.. told reporters they would not immediately put an end to the practice.

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities said yesterday the issue hasn’t been a signifi-cant one for members.

Its Quebec counterpart said

it will be up to each municipal-ity to decide how to comply with the decision.

Some, for example, may choose to have a moment of silent reflection, said Patrick Lemieux, a spokes-man for the Union of Quebec Municipalities.

Although the Supreme Court decision ruling is based on the Quebec Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the province’s legislation parallels the federal Charter of Rights and Freedoms on these tenets, says law pro-fessor Errol Mendes.

That would make a legal challenge by another commu-nity an uphill climb, according to Mendes, who teaches consti-tutional and international law at the University of Ottawa.

“I think it’s a fairly strong signal to the councils across the country that they really have to look at their practices,’’ he said in an interview.

If you are looking for a great place to work off a few pounds in the summer heat, look no farther than the BX Falls trail in Vernon.

Located on the road to Silver Star Resort, this magnificent trail fol-lows BX Creek through a wooded area, with plenty of bridges, hills and steep stairs to give you fantastic workout.

The trail is 3.2 kilo-metres one way, taking about two hours to complete. The trail is rugged, so wear proper hiking shoes.

A section of the trail was donated by the Vernon Irrigation District, which from 1921 to 1957 had installed a creek intake and a 34-inch diameter wood stave pipeline to transfer water from BX Creek to the Grey Canal Irrigation System located on the hill-sides surrounding the valley. The water was used to irrigate lands in the North BX, Swan Lake and Bella Vista areas. Remnants of the installations are still visible along the trail.

The crowning glory of this trail is no doubt BX Falls.

Tumbling down through a rocky canyon and emptying into a small pond before flow-ing back into the creek, this refreshing spot is a great place to snap a few photos.

Volunteers build, maintain and grow healthy communities.

The City of Kamloops invites those that volunteer in our community to help cele-brate National Volunteer Week (April 12 to April 18) by attend-ing the Volunteer Appreciation BBQ:

Friday, April 1711:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.Interior Savings Centre

Plaza — 300 Lorne St.Indoor and outdoor seatingDoor prizes at 12:30 p.m.

Twenty-five-year old Stefanie Gale is in the midst of her ninth year of door-to-door canvassing for the Canadian Cancer Society’s Daffodil Month in April.

“I’ve lived in Kamloops nearly all my life,” Gale said.

“I’m an alumnus of TRU and have enjoyed living, working and contributing back to the Kamloops com-munity. I’m part of the door-to-door cam-paign for the society because I really enjoy connecting with my neighbours and show-ing my neighbourhood how important it is to me to raise funds for such an important cause.”

Gale first started canvassing when she was still in high school because, like many Canadians, her family was affected by cancer.

“When I was quite young, my aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer,” Gale said. “As a young girl, I didn’t

understand what was happening to her until later when I under-stood what she went through to battle her cancer. I was touched by how strong she was in order to win her fight.”

Not long afterwards, Gale’s grandfather was diagnosed with lung cancer and died within months of his diagno-sis. He was one of the most active, health-conscious individuals she knew.

Since then, cancer has touched Gale many times through family, friends and co-workers and that’s why she is still involved with rais-ing funds and aware-ness for the Canadian Cancer Society.

Gale also volunteers with the Heart and Stroke Foundation and, most recently, the Kamloops Firefighters’ Charitable Society.

She just pur-chased her first home and plans to stay in Kamloops for many years to come.

Gale is also plan-ning to continue volunteering with the Canadian Cancer Society.

“I feel so great knowing that the Canadian Cancer Society relies on vol-unteers like myself, rather than on hiring individuals to raise door-to-door funds,” she said.

“This allows more of our valuable donations to go toward research and ultimately end this battle with cancer.”

What would Gale say to other people considering volunteer-ing?

“I’d say that it doesn’t matter how old or young you are, everyone can make a difference,” she said.

“Every dime or minute of your time is so beneficial. One person really can make the difference. At first, I thought that I would just try to help out and see what I could con-tribute and, at the end of all of my volunteer-ing each year, I look

back and see that I’ve contributed to a large-scale campaign that is really only possible because of volunteers like myself.

“And, if I can do this, anyone can.”

Gale also believes strongly in the future of cancer research.

“We’ve been told that cancer doesn’t have to exist in today’s society. We have the ability to create treat-ment and cures and it is just a matter of time, money and effort,” she said. “As volunteers, if we can contribute even just one of these back to our community, we can say we’ve done our part. Let’s make cancer history.”

Randene Wejr, regional director for the Canadian Cancer Society in the Southern Interior Region, also believes strongly in the impact volunteers can make in the cancer cause.

“It’s National Volunteer Week,” Wejr said. “What a perfect time to give a heartfelt

thank you not only to Stefanie, but to all of our 15,000 volunteers throughout B.C. and

the Yukon. “We couldn’t

accomplish what we do without the gener-

osity of so many dedi-cated volunteers. And, for this, we’re truly grateful.”

Joyce Clary is a longtime Overlander volunteer who wears many hats while she donates her time at Overlander Residential Care (ORC) in Brocklehurst.

Clary first became a volunteer at Overlander in September 1992 when she accompanied her late husband, Pastor Basil, with

pastoral visits.Clary also started

volunteering weekly in the ORC Auxiliary Gift Shop, which she con-tinues to do.

Today, she has expanded those roles to being the lead volunteer with the Overlander Resident Cribbage group (every Wednesday afternoon) and enjoys friendly visits every Wednesday

morning, accompa-nied by her faithful pet-therapy dog, Buddy.

Once a month, Clary leads the memo-rial hymn sing with music and prayer.

Clary is one busy lady who wears many hats and brings heart and dedication to the residents of Overlander Residential Care.

Stefanie Gale has been volunteering for the Canadian Cancer Society for nine years.

Each day in facilities throughout the Interior Health Authority, more than 4,800 volunteers provide servic-es to enhance the comfort of patients and residents.

“Volunteers play a key role in our health-care system,” Health Minister Terry Lake said. “We pay tribute to the thousands of volunteers who graciously donate their time and energy to support patients, clients and residents in health care facilities throughout the region.”

National Volunteer Week is Canada’s largest celebration of volun-teers, volunteerism and civic partici-pation. Across Canada, 13.3-million

volunteers contribute 2.1 billion total hours.

Volunteers perform a wide variety of services in Interior Health’s hospi-tals and residential-care facilities.

For example, in hospitals, aux-iliaries help fundraise for special patient-care equipment through gift shops and craft sales, while youth volunteers visit with patients and assemble test kits for emergency patients to take home. Other volun-teers provide information, answer questions and direct patients and their families where they need to go.

Go online to interiorhealth.ca for volunteer postings.

Thousands help Interior Health Authority

“Hats Off” to all our amazing Volunteers at Overlander Residential Care and Ponderosa

Lodge for their Caring and Dedication.

A Special “Thank You” to the Overlander Auxiliary for over 38 years of Commitment.
