2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship Logo Guide

Official Tournament MarkThis manual provides you with tools and guidelines to ensure the tournament logo type (tournament mark) for the 2016 IIHF Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship appears in a consistent manner that is appropriate to IIHF standards in all communications. These standards should be followed as closely as possible, however it is understood that

requirements for unspecified applications may arise.

For questions and approvals related to sponsorship, please contact:

Bruce Newton – [email protected]

For questions and approvals related to licensing, please contact:

The official tournament mark will appear prominently on all official communications and marketing materials pertaining to the 2016 IIHF

Ice Hockey Women’s World Championship.

The tournament mark has bilingual (English/French, horizontal only), English (horizontal and vertical), and French (horizontal and vertical)

versions.

The bilingual version of the official tournament mark should be used in cases where both English and French are being used in the

communication.

Bilingual French (horizontal)English (vertical) French (vertical)English (horizontal)A Maori war dance, an endorsement of Donald

Trump and a claim the victim predicted her own murder by drowning.

These are some of the moments the jury in the murder trial of Peter Beckett were not permitted to see or know about while the trial was underway.

However, now that the jury has been sent to delib-erate on a verdict, KTW can publish what the jury was not allowed to see, hear or know — most impor-tantly, perhaps, a statement from the victim’s cousin claiming the victim had predicted how she would be murdered.

Beckett, a 59-year-old former New Zealand politi-cian, is charged with first-degree murder in con-nection to the drowning death of his wife, Laura Letts-Beckett, in Upper Arrow Lake near

Revelstoke on Aug. 18, 2010.Virginia Lyons-Friesen was one of the first wit-

nesses called by the Crown when Beckett’s trial began in mid-January. She spoke about the relationship between her cousin and Beckett, detailing an intense argument the couple had during a visit in Calgary prior to Letts-Beckett’s murder.

But, after extensive pre-trial hearings, B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Meiklem ruled Lyons-Friesen could not discuss a conversation she claims to have had with Letts-Beckett after the dust settled. The reasons for that decision have not yet been released.

In a police affidavit obtained by KTW, Lyons-Friesen said Beckett told Letts-Beckett she would drown in a B.C. lake.

The company behind the proposed Ajax mine has walked away from negotia-tions with the City of Kamloops.

KGHM Ajax project manager Clyde Gillespie said the company is cutting off talks over a community benefit agreement — which would have included a cut of revenue from the mine — due to council’s stance on the proposed open-pit mine and “integrity” concerns.

“Community benefit agreements are usually a partnership, and with four councillors on the city council adamantly opposed to the project, we were finding a partnership probably wasn’t going to work

with the City of Kamloops,” Gillespie said. In a letter to city council obtained by

KTW, Gillespie said in lieu of an agree-ment, KGHM Ajax will continue its prac-tice of donating money to arts, sports and community groups, and will set up a com-munity advisory panel to direct the flow of funds and alert the company to commu-nity concerns.

The move appears to shut the city out of any money made by Ajax.

“There is a process in place where if the city wants to annex the project, they can do that, and then we would be more than willing to pay the taxes and do the things the city wants as part of the city,” Gillespie said.

Mayor Peter Milobar said negotiations with KGHM Ajax had appeared to be mov-

ing forward, with the city and company discussing both money and how the mine could deliver on its environmental com-mitments to the community.

“There was no hint of it. The letter came as a shock,” Milobar said. “Things were progressing well — and if it’s a case of they’re only going to talk to people who are 100 per cent in favour of their project, I don’t quite know how that builds trust in the community.”

Councillors on both sides of the Ajax issue say that argument doesn’t make sense to them.

“I can’t understand how that would possibly be helping their cause,” said Coun. Ken Christian, who has so far taken a neutral position on the mine.

Lyndsey Nabata was one of many who turned out in October 2013 during a protest against the proposed Ajax mine. Clyde Gillespie, Ajax’s project manager, said similar opposition to the mine among Kamloops city councillors has made it clear to him the two sides cannot reach a community benefit agreement.KTW FILE PHOTO

A plan to build a new leisure pool on Kamloops’ North Shore is on hold, but pools in Westsyde and Brocklehurst will remain open, while the pool in McDonald Park will be closed and replaced with a water park and wading pool.

By a vote of 4-4, Kamloops council on Tuesday decided not to move ahead with a feasibility study for a new aquatic centre on McArthur Island or at another location in the neighbourhood.

Councillors Tina Lange, Donovan Cavers, Ken Christian and Denis Walsh voted against the study, while Mayor Peter Milobar and coun-cillors Dieter Dudy, Marg Spina and Arjun Singh were in favour. A tie vote is considered a defeat.

The leisure pool was one of several options for swimming on the North Shore the city has put to the public over the past months as it looked for options to deal with costly repairs at the Westsyde and McDonald Park pools.

And, by a vote of 7-1, council voted to move ahead with a plan to spend $3.08 million in repairs at Westsyde pool, which could re-open in late fall, and to keep Brocklehurst’s outdoor pool open rather than convert it to a second ice sheet for the Brock Arena.

That same motion will result in the closure of the pool in McDonald Park, which needs to be largely rebuilt due to a drain failure, and replaced by a wading pool and water park.

Christian was the lone council member to oppose the latter motion because he believes a wading pool would be costly and difficult to operate compared to a spray-only park.

Lange said public response to a proposed new aquatic centre on McArthur Island was largely negative during a series of community meetings held on the North Shore.

“What I heard loud and clear from those people is they don’t care about a leisure pool,” she said, adding the city is likely five years or more away from building a new facility.

Christian agreed, adding he does not think there is a public appetite right now for large-scale city construction projects.

“I think when we do these consultations, I think it’s important we accept the feedback that we get,” he said.

Milobar said the city needs to start planning

for a new facility in part because it may still be faced with closing the pool in Westsyde in the near future.

While council has agreed to replace the pool’s roof, the building’s mechanical systems are nearing the end of their lifespans. Staff has put the cost to fully modernize the building’s heating, cooling and mechanical systems and make other upgrades to extend its life at an additional $2 million.

Milobar said the city will either spend that money or convert the facility to a gymnasium when the mechanical systems are replaced, depending on how well the pool — which the city considers under-visited — is used post-roof replacement.

“If we don’t start with planning now, let’s take the worst-case scenario: In three years, Westsyde has no more use or the use is down, which I truly don’t want, but let’s go with the worst-case scenario,” Milobar said.

“Now we’ve got a $2-million repair bill and we’re no closer to having a plan for a new pool.

Milobar said the pool could be an invest-ment in a neighbourhood that doesn’t feel it gets enough attention or dollars from city hall.

Council will, however, move ahead with another study. Councillors unanimously agreed to have staff look at where a new ice sheet could be built beyond the Brocklehurst pool site.

New pickleball courts coming to Riverside Park will be a little roomier than first planned.

At its Tuesday meeting, Kamloops city council agreed to change the style of court it will build in the park this year to tournament standards, at the request of the Kamloops Pickleball Club.

The courts have larger runouts and are indi-vidually fenced, parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell told council.

Because each one takes up more space, the city will build four courts instead of the six normal-sized ones first planned.

“This would become the tournament venue for pickleball in Kamloops,” McCorkell said.

The pickleball courts will be created by the ten-nis courts in the park.

Council agreed to spend $250,000 on the pick-leball courts as part of its 2016 budget. McCorkell said the budget for the upgraded courts is similar.

The city is also looking at other options to improve pickleball access, McCorkell said, includ-ing painting lines for the game on practice tennis courts in neighbourhoods.

“This would be a compromise facility. Tennis doesn’t like the extra lines, pickleball likes a lower net,” he said.

But the move could add courts to 17 more loca-tions in Kamloops.

New CEO for Tourism KamloopsTourism Kamloops, the organization

responsible for destination marketing on behalf of the tourism industry and the City of Kamloops, welcomed its new CEO this week.

On Monday, Beverley DeSantis assumed the role vacated by longtime CEO Lee Morris.

DeSantis has a business/tourism back-ground and has moved to Kamloops from Calgary.

“I’m thrilled to be moving to Kamloops and to work for this forward-thinking organization,” DeSantis said in a state-ment.

“I am a passionate advocate of tour-ism-opportunity development and have

been involved in the tourism industry for over 30 years. I look forward to bringing my experience in growing regional and urban enterprises and building excep-tional teams and community champions to my role as CEO.

“My husband and I love this area and we look forward to enjoying the work/life balance the beautiful City of Kamloops has to offer us and, in turn, sharing that story with others.”

Tourism Kamloops president Darcia Ball said DeSantis was selected from among many applicants.

“Beverley was chosen due, in part, to her strong personal connections to the area and also because of her outstanding

business and leadership experience and abilities,” Ball said.

“We have every confidence that Beverley and the team at Tourism Kamloops will continue to move the orga-nization forward.

“Her desire to move to the area and innovative ideas for enhancing the work of the organization sealed the deal for the hiring committee, a process which took months.”

Tourism Kamloops was created in 2005 with the mandate to lead all exter-nal tourism marketing of Kamloops on behalf of the City of Kamloops, the local accommodation industry and tourism businesses.

Changing of media-relations guardThe Kamloops RCMP detachment

has a new public face.Cpl. Jodi Shelkie is taking over

the media-relations role from Cpl. Cheryl Bush, who has dealt with questions from reporters for the last five years.

“With 19 years of service in the RCMP, we are very fortunate to have someone with Cpl. Shelkie’s experi-ence and background coming in behind Cheryl,” RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said.

Prior to a transfer to Kamloops last year, Shelkie was the media-

relations officer at the Fort St. John RCMP detachment and has post-secondary training in marketing and public relations, having worked in radio prior to joining the national police force.

Bush is returning to regular oper-ations as a watch supervisor.

“With her return to general duty and operations, Cheryl’s maturity and leadership will continue to be an asset to the watch and our detach-ment going forward,” Mueller said.

The transition takes effect on Monday, April 11.

The Interior Health Authority is satisfied with its standing in a report from the province’s seniors’ advocate’s office, but wants to see improvements at one of the residential-care facilities it funds in Kamloops, Ridgeview Lodge.

The office headed by Isobel Mckenzie has released its Residential Care Facilities Quick Facts Directory, one that showed 232 of the 292 government-funded facilities in the province do not meet the Ministry of Health’s staffing guidelines of providing 3.36 hours of care per senior each day.

Care includes tasks like toi-leting, feeding and bathing.

Of the seven Kamloops facilities included, only two — Ponderosa Lodge and Overlander Residential Care — were above that threshold, with Ponderosa providing 4.28 hours each day and Overland provid-ing 3.49 hours.

Five others were providing more than three hours of care each day, but only two met the IHA funding threshold of 3.15 hours: Pine Grove Lodge and The Hamlets at Westsyde.

Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Centre provides 3.14 hours,

Kamloops Seniors Village pro-vides 3.13 and Ridgeview Lodge provides 3.07 hours of care.

Cindy Kozak-Campbell, the IHA’s residence services execu-tive director, said her depart-ment will be taking a closer look at those not meeting the IHA baseline hours of support to see what can be done to improve care provided.

Funding to facilities like these is based on size — larger ones are treated differently because their size provides economies of scale smaller facilities cannot use — and the standard of care.

Kozak-Campbell said in the past, those with short-stay pro-grams — seniors requiring some residential care as their health returns — have required addi-tional staffing in order to facili-tate a quick return home.

She said with the emphasis and services IHA has put into assisting seniors to remain at home as long as possible, the new reality is those entering residential care are now often at a point where they need more attention.

The directory shows depres-sion and mental-health issues are conditions prevalent in residential-care homes.

At The Hamlets at Westsyde, for example, a facility with 112

beds, 63 per cent of residents are receiving medication for depression (the provincial aver-age is 47.8 per cent) and 30 per cent are taking antipsychotics without a diagnosis of psychosis (the provincial average is 31 per cent).

More than half the patients at the 183-bed Overlander facil-ity are taking medication for depression and 29 per cent are taking antipsychotics without a diagnosis of psychosis.

Kozak-Campbell said depres-sion and other mental-health issues can sometimes require additional care if patients become more active, but can also see less care required if they become quieter.

While the IHA was generally pleased with its standard of care — Ponderosa Lodge is ranked fourth-highest in the report — the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority is at the bottom of the list, with 23 of the 25 facilities providing the lowest number of staffing hours recorded in facili-ties it funds.

The best facility for care is George Peterson in Vancouver. The 114-bed facility provides 5.74 hours of care each day.

Aberdeen Hospital in Vancouver is next at 4.85 hours and Houston Health Centre in Houston provides 4.55 hours.

TIGER RAM INIn what has seemingly become a rite of passage for drivers in Kamloops, yet another person behind the wheel has apparently confused the gas pedal for the brake. A vehicle in front of Tiger Ramen restaurant in Columbia Place in Sahali accelerated forward and right through the front door and window yesterday at noon. The female driver was uninjured, but two patrons inside the noodle house were taken to hospital with minor injuries. Kamloops has seen a rash of such incidents in the past few years, with the most recent before yesterday’s crash occurring on March 26 at the Dollar Store in Brock Shopping Centre.

Consultants for KGHM Ajax likely underestimated the concentrations of arse-nic and other substanc-es in its mine rock, according to a scientist hired by opponents of the mine.

Geoscientist Kevin Morin, hired by Kamloops Area Preservation Association and the Sierra Club, said he believes several of the company’s studies for its environmental-assessment application used inferior methodol-ogy, which understates the amount of harm the project could cause.

Morin argued the company should have

used a four-acid test rather than a two-acid test to dissolve rock samples in order to determine levels of arsenic, mercury and other substances pres-ent.

“What we know is that when you use two acids to dissolve a sam-ple, it just dissolves part of the way,” he said

“So when you analyze it, you’re only picking up part of the contamination in the sample.”

Morin said he believes concentrations are underestimated for not only rock on the mine site, but also for dust that could blow off the Ajax property south of Aberdeen.

Morin said it appears the company used the more precise test for its assay data, used to determine the amount of copper and gold in the rock, and a hint of their findings on other substances is available section 11

of the environmental application, where arsenic levels from the two different tests are both shown.

Morin said arsenic levels are substantially higher in the assay data.

“What we’re finding is the real amount of arsenic in the dust and a tailings and the waste rock could be 10 times higher than the [envi-ronmental studies are] saying,” he said.

“What about chro-mium, is that higher? What about mercury? We don’t know.”

Morin also took issue with tests to determine the levels of contaminates that would leach into water passing through the mine rock and tailings, which he said don’t take into account the large volume of mate-rial water and rain will pass though.

“When water flows down over, say, one metre of contamina-

tion, it picks up a cer-tain amount,” he said.

“But if it flows over more, it can pick up more contamination,” Morin said, adding most of KGHM Ajax’s tests used 20 to 80 centimetres of rock.

“It’s not really rocket science,” he said.

“When water passes through 270 metres, you’d expect it to pick up more than if it flowed through 80 centimetres.”

Morin presented his findings last night at a public meeting at Thompson Rivers University.

He was joined by Douw Steyn, a UBC professor specializing in air-pollution model-ling.

Steyn had his own criticisms of the mine’s air studies, which he said don’t seem to incorporate checks on wind modelling and measured pollution that would prove the model’s output is in line with reality.

Steyn was hired by Kamloops Moms for Clean Air, another group opposed to the proposed mine that plans to submit his findings to the federal and provincial govern-ments before a public-comment period for the project closes on April 11.

AWARD-WINNING DOCTORDr. Paul Dagg, medical director for Interior Health Authority’s mental-health and substance use programs, has been honoured by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada. Dagg, who joined the IHA in 2005, received the Duncan Graham Award from the college for outstanding contributions to medical education. Dagg is chairman of the college’s specialty committee in psychiatry and a member of its education committee. The award, created in 1969, is named for the first doctor in Canada to take postgraduate medical training. Graham later created a program of postgraduate training of medical specialists on which the college is modelled.

Mayor Peter Milobar will tour towns in Ontario and Quebec with open-pit mines at the end of the month, but it’s still not clear who will be joining him.

When council first agreed to send some of its members to Malartic, Quebec, and Timmins, Ontario, it agreed only those who were undecided on the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine would go along.

But, as of Tuesday’s meeting, none of the undecided council-lors have opted to join Milobar, though Coun. Marg Spina said she will reconsider whether she can attend at least part of the tour.

Coun. Arjun Singh suggested the city rescind the motion to permit all councillors to take advantage of the trip.

While council agreed, Milobar said allowing councillors opposed to the mine to join the tour could dis-credit the trip.

“If I wind up coming back and saying, ‘Yeah, it wasn’t actually as bad as everyone made out,’ personally I don’t think you’re going to come back and say, ‘Yeah, I agree with the mayor,’” he said.

Milobar said the trip will run from April 29 to May 3 and will include meetings with min-ing companies in both communities and in Sudbury.

He will also meet with city councils and staff on each stop to talk about their experi-ences with mines, and with citizens’ groups.

“I am not a medical-health expert, so I am not going there to figure out what is in the dust or anything like that,” he said. “Certainly, if it’s as bad as what’s been portrayed, it’s going to be pretty obvious.”

Councillors have until today to sign on to the tour, which will be paid for by using coun-cil’s $50,000 annual travel budget.

MAYOR WILL LEAD TOUR OF MINESANDREA KLASSEN STAFF [email protected]

More than two years after their last contract expired, unions representing 45,000 B.C. nurses have reached a tentative settlement with the pro-vincial government on a five-year agreement.

B.C. Nurses’ Union president Gayle Duteil

said Tuesday that while terms are confidential until members vote on the agreement, it includes improved pay, benefits and working conditions.

“It addresses major issues of staffing and workload that directly impact the safety

of patient care,” Duteil said.“That’s a key factor for us because, for a long

time now, we’ve been speaking out about short-ages and the failure to replace and educate the necessary nurses as needed.”

LOCAL NEWS

Please be advised this column is a blatant appeal for money.

And, should you choose to not read any

farther, that’s fine.There are so many other stories

in this edition of KTW today worth reading, stories about community groups, about social issues, about crime and justice, about non-profits doing good works.

Many of them are touched in some way by either the RCMP (that would be the crime and justice )or by the United Way Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo through its annual fundraising campaigns (that would be every-thing in the list).

The RCMP can also be credited with impacting the community as a whole through the creation of its Jail and Bail fundraiser five years ago. It’s a pretty simple idea: various people in the city agree to be thrown into the slammer and kept there until they can raise the required bail to get out.

The proceeds go to the United Way, the local police get to have some well-deserved fun and pres-ent a different face to the com-munity and Kamloops benefits. In the past four years, the event has raised more than $200,000.

Dozens of people have taken part in it since it was created, but only one (me) has been crazy enough to do it every year — thanks to Sgt. Scott Wilson.

Apparently, during preliminary planning as the RCMP prepared to launch its fundraiser, vari-ous names were thrown into the mix as potential “criminals” who would help fill the makeshift jail at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Another member of the media was asked, but declined, and, the

story goes, when that was dis-cussed at a meeting, Wilson sug-gested me.

Then-superintendent Yves Lacasse apparently indicated skepticism I’d support it, a feel-ing that likely came from some columns I had written that had generated some fairly strongly-worded phone calls I received from Lacasse.

In fact, boss Christopher Foulds relayed the apparent skep-ticism that had been expressed as he told me of the request.

Those who know me realize that was a red flag being waved. There was no way I’d say no to that.

It was fun, and it was a chal-lenge raising the bail set. The truly nasty judge simply ignored my begging for a low amount because, well, most of my friends don’t have deep pockets and are already sup-porting a lot of good causes.

Frankly, I’ve used that defence each year and, every time, this judge has seemed to take greater delight in reading out the charges and setting the amount.

In the end, publisher Kelly Hall and local businessman (and great chef) Shawn Harnett came through to get the amount real-ized.

When I registered this year, someone — probably that same wigged and robed nasty judge — had already set the bail at $1,000.

Trust me, I immediately dropped it down to something more reasonable and, to date, have raised a whopping 20 per cent of the $500 goal.

There are plenty of other peo-ple taking part this year, one Supt. Brad Mueller said wouldn’t hap-pen, but who relented to do a fifth Jail and Bail when we all told him how great it is and how vital the money raised is to Kamloops.

Every one of you likely knows someone who will see handcuffs slapped on and perhaps consid-ered for a stay in isolation — a feature introduced last year that I went prepared for with a saw, chis-el and rope, all of which Wilson immediately confiscated.

Don’t worry, the tools were kid-sized rubber replicas. After all, cops can carry tasers and I’m no dummy. (That’s a joke, folks).

Obviously, I’d love to see every one of you sponsor me, but that’s just being greedy and setting myself up for a whopping big bail next year when they do it again — you know you’ll feel that pressure, Brad!

Go online to jailandbailkam-loops.com. Right now, I’m in sixth place, but that won’t last. The Karaoke Cop is in first place with $2,685 raised.

It doesn’t matter how much you donate — if you can, please do. The money raised goes to sup-port all those groups and organi-zations and causes we reporters write about often.

It goes to improve our commu-nity — and that’s a great thing.

LUMBY RISES TO THE TOP OF NATION

There are a few people getting hung up on what-ifs when now is still the time to celebrate Lumby’s win.

And what a win it was on the weekend as the village near Vernon earned the title of Kraft Hockeyville.

Along with $100,000 for upgrades to Pat Duke Memorial Arena, the community will host a pre-season NHL game between the Edmonton Oilers and Los Angeles Kings.

This achievement came as a result of a core group of volunteers pulling together the Lumby area and the entire North Okanagan.

That resulted in rapid-fire voting during each stage of the process, with residents and businesses spreading the word.

It demonstrated what we have known all along — that Lumby and the North Okanagan have tremendous civic pride and are great places to live.

Perhaps naturally, some people have tried to find the negative and particularly the possibil-ity the NHL game may be played in Vernon and not Lumby.

That has always been suggested, but until the officials from the NHL and Sportsnet tour the local arenas and make a decision, it’s all speculation.

In fact, we need to have confidence the participating groups will make the right call not only for themselves, but also for Lumby to ensure a successful event.

Until a decision is made, let’s take time to reflect on what has been achieved in a very short time period.

Lumby has risen to the ranks above all other communities and is Hockeyville.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor: I am writing to address some confusion

readers may have been left with after reading Christopher Foulds’ April 1 column on electoral reform (‘Some vote on voting on voting’):

The system implemented in the 1950s by then-premier W.A.C. Bennett would today be called alternative vote (AV), also known as ranked ballot, which is preferred by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

It is not the same as today’s single transferable vote as it is another winner-take-all system that is not proportional. Proportional means 30 per cent of the vote would equal roughly 30 per cent of the seats.

Trudeau has been accused of trying to do what Bennett’s Social Credit did in the 1952 elec-tion — putting into place another winner-take-all system (ranked ballot, a.k.a AV) to capitalize on being the second choice of many people.

This would not be an improvement over first

past the post at all as the example in Foulds’ col-umn illustrates.

It is up to Canadians to hold the Liberals accountable to their promise to “make every vote count.”

Canadians deserve a proportional system in which voters’ first choices determine who gets

into power and the percentage of seats each party wins is roughly equal to their percentage of

the popular vote.Only proportional representation systems do

that. How many readers caught the difference

between what Foulds called “single-transferable vote” and “single-transferable ballot”?

I think most assumed they were the same thing. In electoral systems, the devil is in the details.

For extremely complex decisions like this,

where small details make a big difference, an all-party committee that actually represents the majority of Canadians is a much better way to go than a referendum.

Readers who want to learn more should go to trusted, impartial sources like the fairvote.ca. website.

There is also a webinar on April 9 on the two most commonly discussed PR systems: mixed-member proportional representation and single-transferable vote (STV).

The webinar will be online at https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/regis-ter/4656598143505333507.

Bennett implemented AV, not STV.Ranked ballots can be used in both winner-

take-all systems (like AV) and proportional sys-tems (like STV).

AV is not proportional, while STV is. These are important distinctions.

“It might help if they had a donor site for people to just walk into, instead of having to figure out where and when it might be convenient to receive donors.

A BELIEF AJAX WILL ADD TO DUST WOES IN CITYEditor:

Ajax’s air-quality fact sheet states: “The project may increase dust, total suspended particulate matter and fine particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) in certain areas and times of year in very small amounts.”

The accompanying photo was taken from my balcony in Sahali on April 5, when there was a strong west wind.

The proposed Ajax mine would be located just over the hill on the horizon.

I am not convinced two “waste rock manage-ment facilities” would not contribute significantly to dust storms such as this.

Spring CleaningStreet Sweeping Notice

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

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

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

Your co-operation is appreciated. Inquiries can be made by calling 250-828-3461.

REMEMBERTHE BIG

MOMENTS

After reporting $10 million in donations for 2015, the B.C. Liberal Party has no plan to restrict dona-tions to individuals only, as other prov-inces have done.

More than $5 mil-lion of the ruling party’s donations last year came from corporations, with individuals giving $3.3 million and trade unions chipping in just $23,800, accord-ing to filings this week with Elections BC.

The B.C. NDP collected just over $3 million last year, mostly from individ-ual donations under $200, and banked nearly $1 million more from the sale of its former headquarters in Burnaby. Trade unions donated about $375,000 to the NDP and corporations gave $148,000.

With Alberta having outlawed corporate and union donations and Ontario moving to do the same, B.C. Liberal house leader Mike de Jong isn’t

swayed by contro-versies in other prov-inces.

“The issue that seems to be at the forefront today . . . is whether or not we’re proposing or think-ing about eliminating corporate and union donations — and we’re not,” de Jong said.

NDP Leader John Horgan, who has criti-cized Premier Christy Clark’s private meet-ings with donors pay-ing $10,000 each, has repeatedly called for an end to corporate and union donations.

Horgan has hosted his own fundraising events, including a $5,000-a-plate break-fast in Toronto last week.

The NDP’s big-gest donors in 2015 were the B.C. Government and Service Employees Union, with more than $92,000, and the United Steelworkers Canada, with $62,000.

The biggest donor to the B.C. Liberals was the Charles F. White Corporation, the company of Keg Restaurants owner David Aisenstat,

which gave $112,000 in 2015.

Rennie Marketing Systems, whose prin-cipal, Bob Rennie, is the party’s fundraising chair, gave $73,500.

Other large cor-porate donations included $100,400 from Aquilini Investment Group, $98,000 from Concord Pacific Developments Corp., $92,925 from natural-gas pro-ducer Encana Corp., $75,430 from miner Pretium Resources Inc., $62,225 from the New Car Dealers Association of B.C., $30,500 from Woodfibre LNG Ltd., $67,397 from Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Ltd., $31,458 from Great Canadian Gaming Corp., $70,500 from West Fraser Mills Ltd. and $29,550 from the Vancouver Taxi Association.

The B.C. Liberals took in more than $1 million at a single fundraising dinner in Vancouver on June 2, 2015, with tickets selling for $1,000 and $450 and the majority of sales to organiza-tions.

“Any of these things are a risk-benefit decision,” Christian said.

“And it seems to me like all of the ben-efit is heading somewhere else and the risk is still here. I’m still keeping an open mind, but really I think it’s a poor decision on behalf of KGHM Ajax.”

Coun. Denis Walsh, who is opposed to the proposed mine, called the move “out-rageous,” but believes the decision may have more to do with mounting criticism over portions of the company’s environ-mental-assessment (EA) application than with city council.

“I don’t think that holds water. There’s five of us that are still undecided, that are still waiting for the science,” Walsh said.

“I don’t think that makes sense unless he [Gillespie] felt there was something in the wind that was going to change that to more than four.”

Walsh said the city needs to see rev-enue from the mine if it is approved because the project will have financial

implications for Kamloops.“This mine is going to cost the city a

lot,” Walsh said.“Just in infrastructure maintenance

alone, but there’s other areas. It’s forcing us to redesign our whole growth pattern that was supposedly up in the Aberdeen areas.”

While city-hired consultant SLR Consulting has told council it would have expected to see language around a benefit agreement in the company’s environmen-tal-assessment [EA] application to the fed-eral and provincial governments, Gillespie said he has not found evidence the prac-tice is common, noting the mine was not required to supply one when the require-ments for its application were set out.

“We also want that EA application to be seen as very fair, very transparent, and we didn’t want to muddy the waters by enter-ing into a community benefit agreement with the city, which could be seen as sway-ing them one way of the other,” he said.

Christian, however, said it was the provincial government that encouraged

the city to pursue a benefit agreement with KGHM Ajax, given its difficulty in annexing the existing New Afton mine to increase its industrial tax revenue.

Gillespie said the details of the advi-sory board are still being put together, noting the company does not have a dol-lar figure for how much money it would spend in the community.

In the letter, Gillespie said the com-munity advisory panel will be filled with “respected members of the Kamloops community.”

“We provide funds based on a set of criteria that recognized the importance of five key areas — health, education, sports, arts and culture and community pro-grams,” Gillespie wrote.

Council will discuss KGHM’s letter at its Tuesday, April 12 meeting.

In the meantime, Milobar said the city will be reaching out to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office to determine if there is any reason an agree-ment cannot proceed during an EA review.

Council will talk Ajax on Tuesday

In her affadavit, Lyons-Friesen stated: “He said to her, ‘This is how you’re going to die,’” the affidavit reads. “You’re going to drown. You won’t know when, where it’s going to hap-pen, you won’t know when it’s going to happen, but you’re going to know how it’s going to happen. That’s how it’s going to happen.’”

Lyons-Friesen went to police eight days after she heard about Letts-Beckett’s Aug. 18, 2010, drowning.

The jury also missed out on more light-hearted moments, including one when Beckett, in court on March 3 prior to the jury entering the room, endorsed Donald Trump for the U.S. presidency during a con-

versation with a lawyer.“He’s what America needs,”

Beckett said in a thick New Zealand accent.

“He’s a proven businessman. He knows how to do things.”

The previous day, jurors sat waiting for an entire morning while Beckett and his lawyer, Donna Turko, had discussions in the courthouse cellblock. Beckett was close to firing Turko, but the reason for their disagreement is not known.

Throughout the trial, jurors were often escorted out of the courtroom for lawyers to make arguments before Meiklem.

A number of those argu-ments had to do with Beckett having outbursts and, at points, muttering under his breath in front of the jury.

Meiklem also cautioned

Beckett repeatedly, with and without the jury in the court-room, to control his outbursts.

Beckett claimed multiple times in the jury’s absence that his lineage had been traced back to St. Thomas of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, who was who was the Archbishop of Canterbury in the 12th century.

Beckett claimed no one in his lineage back to the saint had been charged with a crime.

Prior to the jury entering the courtroom for the second day of Beckett’s cross-examination, on March 24, he turned to the gallery, performed a brief Maori haka and referenced New Zealand folklore.

“Today, I am Rongokako of Te Mata,” he said. “Google it.”

One of the first hits on

Google is a link to “the mythical story of Te Mata o Rongokako, the sleeping giant.”

Standing six-foot-eight, Beckett is a gigantic man. Estimates about his weight at trial have been as high as 450 pounds.

Drama started long before the trial ever began.

In most pre-trial hearings, Beckett represented himself — which meant he was personally provided with Crown disclosure.

At one point, Beckett smuggled a hard drive of Crown evidence out of Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. The whereabouts of the hard drive are still not known.

Prior to the trial, a justice official close to the case called Beckett “the ultimate test of the system.”

“This is how you’re going to die. You’re going to drown. You won’t know when, where it’s going to happen, but you’re going to know

how it’s going to happen. That’s how it’s going to happen.”— What Peter Beckett allegedly told his wife before her drowning death,

according to Crown witness Virginia Lyons-Friesen


LOCAL NEWS

Lawyers for a Kamloops couple charged with firearms and stolen-property offences will contin-ue their challenge of police conduct during a raid when a pre-trial hearing continues in November.

The week of Nov. 14 has been set aside for the continuation of a hearing that will determine admissibility of evidence gathered by RCMP when officers raided the home of Jason and Sarah Robertson in May 2014.

The couple faces 18 charges.The defence, armed with extensive footage

from a sophisticated home-surveillance system, argues the search at the Arrowstone Drive home in Sahali was conducted in a manner that breached the couple’s rights under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Police seized 40 firearms, cash and electronics from the home.

Court heard earlier in the hearing that police began watching the couple and their associates early in 2014, believing Jason Robertson was asso-ciated with a Prince George drug-trafficking gang known as The Crew and was dealing in kilogram levels of methamphetamine, cocaine and heroin.

During intermittent legal proceedings over the past year, the charges have been narrowed down from the original 50, with the Crown abandoning drug offences and a number of other allegations.

The trial itself is scheduled to begin on Jan. 23, 2017.

ENTERTAINMENT

It’s all themed as Scottish with a taste of Irish, he said, and is the first of two he has wanted to make for years.

The next one will be Irish with a taste of Scottish and linking the songs will be short stories introducing the songs. McDermott has someone in Ireland now collecting those snippets of verse.

When he first heard the master for Raised on Songs and Stories, “it was exactly what I wanted to hear,” McDermott said.

There’s a flow to it that links it all together.

He doesn’t miss the job he left for music.

While he appre-ciated the support publisher Douglas Creighton gave to him when he worked in the circulation department of the Toronto Sun, McDermott said he’s glad he left the news-paper business while it still felt like family.

Creighton encour-aged McDermott’s singing, often hiring him to perform at social gatherings.

It was in 1993 McDermott knew the decision he made was right. He stepped onto the stage of the Rebecca Cohn Theatre in Halifax on Oct. 5 of that year, backed for the first time by his own band — includ-ing a teenaged fiddle player he met in a bar named Ashley McIsaac — and opened for The Chieftains. The crowd went wild.

He’s perhaps best known for his version of Danny Boy, a song he first recorded on an album he created for his parent’s 50th wed-ding anniversary.

It had 12 tracks — one for each child in the family — and ended with an a capel-la version of the Irish classic.

McDermott was encouraged to take his

homemade recording to professionals, even-tually landing with EMI Music Canada.

It released 2,000 copies of this first

McDermott recording on Nov. 10, 1992.

The next day, CBC broadcaster Peter Gzowski played three tracks from it — And

the Band Played Waltzing Matilda, Christmas in the Trenches and Danny Boy — and the albums sold out.

More were pressed and again, courtesy of a short profile on The National just months later, another 50,000 copies were sold.

Some songs are par-ticularly special to him.

Danny Boy is one because his father loved it. Along The Merry Road to Hell, written with his friend and fellow musi-cian Larry Gowan, is also special because it was written for McDermott’s brother Michael.

It used to be hard to sing it, McDermott said, because it reminded him of the life choices his brother made that ultimately led to his death from alcoholism.

It’s not so hard to sing it now, though, and it will likely be on the set list for his Kamloops show on Sunday, April 24, at the Coast Hotel Kamloops Theatre.

It’s part of a 10-stop tour through B.C.

There might also be some songs from an album McDermott made at the behest of his mother, Hope.

She had been nag-ging him to record just hymns and one day, sitting at mother’s kitchen table and lis-tening to her request again, McDermott said he’d think about it.

“She dropped a piece of paper in front of me with 16 hymns on it,” he said.

“I said ‘Mom, that’s a lot of hymns’ and she said ‘I’ve got more I could add.’

“Eventually, she got a 17th one onto it.”

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

John McDermott has some advice for anyone about to listen to his new recording.

Before hitting play, pour yourself a glass of wine and plant yourself in a comfy

chair because Raised On Songs and Stories is unlike any album McDermott has created in the past 23 years.

There are no breaks in it, McDermott said, with what he called instrumental reflections join-ing the songs.

SPRING FOR A FLICKThe Kamloops Film Society starts its spring series with Carol, based on the novel The Price of Salt. It’s the story of two women from different backgrounds who fall in love in New York in the 1950s. Carol (Cate Blanchett, left) and Therese (Rooney Mara) face the conventional norms of the time as well as their own challenges, one dreaming of a more fulfilling life and the other trying to escape a loveless marriage. The Academy Award-nominated film will be shown at Paramount Theatre, 503 Victoria St., today at 7 p.m. Tickets are available at MovieMart, 44 St. Paul St., online at kamloopsfilmseries.ca/tickets or at the door.

Deadline for sub-missions to the Cedric Literary Awards for B.C. seniors is May 1.

Entries will be accepted from unpub-lished authors 50 years old or older.

Last year, 168 entries were received for the award, which includes four catego-

ries — fiction, creative non-fiction, poetry and First Nations writing.

Works in French are also accepted.

There is a $3,000 prize for each category.

For more infor-mation, go online to thecedrics.ca or email [email protected].

PSYCHIATRIC NURSING DIPLOMAPROGRAM


ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT

Schmidt creates one-of-a-kind portraits of animals and pets on commission.

She works as a master artist for Paint Nite and is the assis-tant manager of the Kamloops Artisan Market, starting this spring in down-town Kamloops on Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

The following is a Q-and-A with Schmidt.

Karla Pearce: What is your background and artistic medium?

Carly Schmidt: I am a self-taught acrylic artist born and raised in Kamloops.

KP: What inspired you to become an art-ist?

CS: As soon as I could hold a crayon, I could not stop colour-ing. Once I held a paint brush, I couldn’t stop painting. Art and the process of creating is just a part of me.

KP: Describe your

creative process. CS: I rarely can go a

day without painting. As soon as I sit

down in my studio and pick up a brush, I instantly relax and time seems to fast for-ward.

KP: What motivates you to create/work?

CS: I love beauty, nature and creativity in people. I get inspired every day from some-thing as simple as a piece of wood to as complicated as human emotion.

When I wake up until I fall asleep (up to 18 hour days of paint-ing and promoting) I am motivated and want to paint.

KP: What is the most difficult thing about creating/doing your work?

CS: Balancing life and art. It takes a lot of work to make it as an artist. Whether it was working a side job while creating a new

line or a lull between commissions, I really had to work hard not to starve sometimes and keep focused to get through to succeed.

KP: What is the best thing about creating/doing your work?

CS: It is my me time and the best way to sooth my busy mind.

I get to spend so many hours covered in paint hanging out with my dog in my studio.

KP: What was the worst/best moment in your career?

CS: The best moment of my career was finally being able to be a full-time artist.

I worked full-time jobs while painting for many years to get to this point.

I can’t say I have a worst moment in my career. Sometimes things I tried was a big success and sometimes it wasn’t but, no matter what, I learn some-thing new to take for-

ward into my journey.KP: What are you

working on now?CS: I am working

on a new line that cap-tures the strength and peace in women.

I have so many wonderful women in my life and they all inspire me in so many ways. I want people who see them to feel inspired and happy.

KP: What are your future plans/goals?

CS: I have been doing a lot of business painting (mostly pet portraits) on com-mission but I would love to get into galler-ies all across Canada as well as continue to expand more for my international custom-ers.

KP: Do you have any advice or words of wisdom you would like to share for the next generation of artists?

CS: Never stop cre-ating and work on your business and social skills just as much as your technique.

She creates beautiful paintings full of light and drama, focused on

the female form in silhouette. Most of her figurative paintings

also utilize the suggestion of kinetic energy flowing through her figures like a dance of wind.

Mortgage Consultant

MORTGAGE MATTERSMath doesn’t lie.

Math is absolute. Math can help make sense of things when emotions cloud our vision. I will use math to help you reach your dreams. Banks offer a rate, a payment and a mortgage term, but let me tell you there is so much more...

I will add: Value - I know the market. I know who has which mortgage product. You

will not have to ask for a better rate like at a bank, you just get it. Honesty - I have seen many situations and can predict scenarios that can

be tricky, lead to trouble or require a second look. Friendship - I hope you will feel cared for and truly helped during the

mortage process and beyond. Connection - Leverage my experience and extensive community

connections to meet your needs.

I will delete: Time wasting - When it just won’t work with a lender, we target a lender

who will say yes Bad structuring - If there are holes in the plan, let’s discuss a strategy to

address it. Poor planning - Dates, timelines, future goals, etc., all matter. Let’s discuss

dates, times and goals to avoid choices we regret later. Ingorance - Ask me anything. I don’t mind

Your choices matter. I will help you know the difference between a good mortgage and a great mortgage for today, tomorrow and the future. I have viewed literally 100s of mortgages from many different lenders, so I can see the value and the concerns. I will treat you with honesty, care and service because you really matter to me. The BONUS!!! My services are free because lenders pay me to nd them great customers.*oac, o&oe

COMMUNITY

A group of Sa-Hali secondary students is feeling grateful

for things like drinking water after a volunteer trip to Guatemala.

KTW caught up with the Grade 11 and Grade 12 students before they departed for the volunteer trip — in partnership with Developing World Connections — on March 24.

We published some of their experiences abroad, which they blogged about online.

Here are their final entries, which have been edited due to space constraints

March 29Today, we finally

started working and we didn’t expect how much it would drain us. We started our day with yet another scrumptious breakfast at Fernando’s and took the bus to our work site in San Miguel Duenas. Our team split off to two different work sites.

We dug holes for posts using machetes and dug dirt with our hands.

Within the first five minutes, we were cov-ered in dirt.

We were astonished to see a house being built in front of our eyes as the day pro-gressed.

The posts were secured, tin walls and a roof were installed.

We went off in groups to install eco stoves for families.

Our muscles were strained from carrying the 400-pound stoves to homes around the city.

We also interacted with children and gave away a few dona-tions we had brought, engaging in a few impromptu soccer games along the way.

Exhausted and covered in a layer of dirt, our white shirts were now brown as we loaded aboard the bus back to Antigua.

March 30After another hard

day of work, our mus-cles are getting pretty sore.

We set off in our groups and went to different work sites, since we finished two homes.

We were pretty proud.

We started to work, getting just as dirty as yesterday.

There were children at the sites and we interacted with them, which was amazing.

Some of us spoke Spanish with them and they taught us words.

We played soccer, drew chalk pictures on the road and didn’t want to leave.

We’ve worked very hard.

In fact, we’re one of the first groups to accomplish putting up four homes for families in this amount of time.

Sometimes we get frustrated because we can’t help all the fami-lies and it’s so hard to see their living condi-tions, but we’re making our small impact that makes a huge differ-ence for them.

We ended our day grateful to live so eas-ily. Seeing how people in this village live has given us a new per-spective and it will stick with us.

April 1Ms. Simpson started

with an April 1 joke students weren’t happy with.

“I’m sorry to tell you, but . . . we have to build two more houses.”

Instead of going straight to the learning centre, we stopped at a macadamia nut farm.

It was amazing and the lady giving us the tour was inspiring.

She cares about the well-being of others and encouraged us to be environmentally conscious.

We tasted natu-rally grown macadamia nuts, which were tasty.

We arrived at the learning centre and walked together to the houses we built, to see the families settled into their new homes.

They were more than grateful and blessed us with their hearts.

It was hard to say goodbye.

Hanging out on the rooftop for our last night in Antigua, most of us went into the trip as strangers, but we all came out as family.

April 4All of us were quiet

on the bus, looking out the windows and tak-ing in as much as we could.

When we returned to Kamloops, parents greeted us with hugs.

We were all exhaust-ed and a little sun-burnt.

We were not

sure what to expect when we arrived in Guatemala, but the outcome was an incredible experience and we miss it already.

Seeing poverty and the way most people live in San Miguel Duenas was truly eye-opening and will stick with us for the rest of our lives.

Every day, we’ll know how fortunate we are to get a drink of water from the tap or sleep in a warm and comfortable bed.

We were able to make connections with kids and see how happy they can be without having any-thing.

We have to realize how easily we live in Canada and should do what we can to help others.

We hope we’ve inspired young people like us and the legacy carries on at Sa-Hali secondary.

Committed to safety since 1953.

How feedback has resulted in a stronger, safer and better project:

• A $100 million investment in the West Coast Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC) for marine safety enhancements.

• An increase in safety valves along the pipeline from 94 to 126.

• An increase in pipeline wall thickness in sensitive areas, such as urban locations and at river crossings.

• Routing of the pipeline to avoid 22 crossings at fish-inhabited rivers including the Fraser, upper North Thompson, Albreda, Coldwater and Coquihalla.

• Routing to avoid environmentally sensitive areas, such as Cheam Wetlands and three BC Class A parks.

• Routing of the pipeline to minimize community impacts to the Westsyde neighbourhood in Kamloops and the Westridge neighbourhood in Burnaby.

For more than four years, we’ve worked together with our neighbours and local communities to hear what they have to say about our proposed pipeline expansion. By listening closely and having an open dialogue, we’ve been able to create a stronger, safer and more responsive project. We are working to meet all the requirements of the regulators, as well as consulting with communities, Indigenous people, government agencies and municipalities – and we’ll continue to work with them throughout development, construction and operations. We know how critical it is to get this right. Most importantly, we’re acting on what we hear with significant changes to the Project.

“I feel strongly that by listening to people, we are making better project decisions.” - Lexa Hobenshield, External Relations Manager, Kinder Morgan Canada

Grocery stores want shoppers to buy products on impulse and therefore spend more. Plan ahead by checking prices and making a grocery list to avoid spending money unnecessarily. It is

also a great idea to prepare larger meals. This way, you can buy in bulk to save money and then freeze leftovers for lunches and dinners.

To cut costs and boost your nutrition intake, remember to use fruits and vegetables that are in season. Try to buy in bulk when prices are low and freeze or preserve to have on hand year-round.

At certain times of the year, frozen or canned fruits and vegetables may be cheaper than their fresh counterparts.

Freezing is an especially good method for preserving nutritional value and remember to choose canned products with little or no added salt and sugar. Cook with root vegetables — such as turnips, parsnips, potatoes and carrots — by boiling, baking or microwaving.

Using protein alternatives at least two to three times per week is also a great idea as meat is often the most expensive part of a meal.

Pulses are a great source of nutrients and fibre and they provide good quality protein to keep you full for longer.

You can either soak and cook dry beans, which is the cheapest option, or buy canned beans if time and convenience are a factor.

If you are using meat, buy tougher pieces such as a chuck roast and use in roasts or stews. Finally, use the Interior Health Store It Guide to prevent food wastage by helping your produce

stay fresh longer.Just search for ‘Store it’ on the Interior Health website and you will find some great information

and a helpful chart to post on your fridge — plus, you will find out why it’s good for onions to wear pantyhose.

It is becoming more difficult all the time for Canadian families to put healthy and satisfying meals on the table.

We’ve experienced rising food costs over the past year and this is forecast to continue throughout 2016.

According to the Guelph Food Institute, the highest price increases will be fruit, vegetables and meat.

Knowing this, how do you maximize your food dollars?

MY CHOICEsales event

From the worst start in franchise history to the brink of Round 2, the Kamloops Blazers averted disaster and took fans on a roller-

coaster ride to remember in 2015-2016.

And strap yourselves in — because the feature attraction is still under construction.

The Blazers will return most of its roster, many of the same play-ers who summoned Lazarus in res-urrecting a one-foot-in-the-grave season that started with six straight defeats and ended with a Game 7 overtime loss to the defending champion Kelowna Rockets in the the first round of the WHL playoffs.

“Never once did I say, ‘Why did I come back?’” said Blazers’ head coach Don Hay, who took the reins in Kamloops prior to the 2014-2015 season. “I love to coach. I love the process it takes to put together a team.”

“We weren’t getting great goaltending and we weren’t very competitive at the start. That all changed.”

Kamloops finished the regular season on a 15-3-1 tear, a streak that saved the club from a public-relations nightmare, with team brass having trumpeted unequivo-cally its battle cry after missing the playoffs for the second straight season in 2014-2015: Failing to qualify for the post-season next year is unacceptable.

Mission accomplished.Now, let’s look ahead.

GOALTENDINGBlazers’ majority owner Tom

Gaglardi criticized former GM Craig Bonner’s decision to keep two 17-year-old goaltenders — Connor Ingram and Cole Kehler

— and ship 20-year-old netminder Bolton Pouliot to the Portland Winterhawks at the start of the 2014-2015 campaign.

They threw two untested back-stops into the lion’s den.

“Hindsight is 20/20 and that might have been a mistake,” Gaglardi said. “The good news is Ingram took control of the situa-tion and won the net. He’s a guy that can take the net for a couple years in Kamloops if he continues the way he’s going.”

The quirky kid from Imperial, Sask., did more than just keep going. He took the league by storm in his 18-year-old season.

He set a new franchise record in 2015-2016 with a .922 save per-centage, displacing Corey Hirsch, who was atop the list with a .920 mark in 1991-1992. Ingram played 13 more games and stopped 409 more shots than Hirsch.

He put the Blazers on his back

and led them into the playoffs, where he recorded a .938 save per-centage and made physics-defying stops in Games 2 and 6.

Without Ingram, it’s a stretch to think Kamloops would have pushed Kelowna to the edge of elimination.

He will likely be drafted into the NHL in June and is the No. 1 guy in Kamloops heading into next season. Dylan Ferguson will likely back him up.

FORWARDSFor years, director of player

personnel Matt Recchi and the Blazers’ scouting staff have been touting a group of 1998-born for-wards, which includes Jake Kryski, Quinn Benjafield, Garrett Pilon and Jermaine Loewen.

Well, the future is now, or at least it will be in 2016-2017.

“We really like the way that everybody has improved,” said

Hay, who was in a decidedly better mood at exit meetings on Tuesday than he was in 2015.

“Two years ago, the organiza-tion decided to keep Pilon in midget for his 16-year-old season and it was a really good decision.

“Benjafield had a real solid sec-ond half and I thought his playoffs were really good. Kryski [picked 13th overall in the 2013 WHL Bantam Draft] had higher expec-tations on him and I thought he continued to learn throughout the year. Jermaine, his progress has been really pleasing.”

General manager Stu MacGregor said each of the 1998-born forwards need to improve their strength and balance in the off-season, while he looks to solid-ify the group up front by drafting an import player.

Trades this season to acquire 19-year-old defenceman Dallas Valentine and 20-year-old forward

Gage Quinney were astute moves that helped push the Blazers to the post-season, but acquiring for-ward Jiri Smejkal in exchange for out-of-favour defenceman Patrik Maier, both 19-year-old imports, did not quite pan out.

MacGregor will look to do bet-ter on the European front at the CHL Import Draft this summer.

Collin Shirley became a fan favourite this season, leading the team with 79 points, including 37 goals — many of them followed by swashbuckling celebrations — in 72 games and adding five goals and nine points in seven playoff contests.

He and Matt Revel, who tallied 23 goals and 53 points in 66 regu-lar-season games, are expected to occupy two of the Blazers’ overage spots in 2016-2017, with Valentine expected to round out the 20s on the blue line.

“We’re all kind of in a bad mood about it [losing to Kelowna] right now, but the way that we improved this year, coming in 0-6 and making our goal to make the playoffs, I don’t think a lot of people would have put us in that situation,” Revel said.

“I’m excited to see how everybody progresses in the summer. For us, it’s a really exciting time and, for the fans, they’re excited, too. You can feel it. We’re going to make a good run next year.”

Deven Sideroff, who was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks last summer, quietly racked up 59 points in 63 regular-season games, but did not light the lamp once in the playoffs.

The Summerland product, who contracted mono last summer and did not play a game until Oct. 18, would like to steal a few more headlines as a 19-year-old next sea-son and sign a deal with the Ducks.

Kamloops product Nick Chyzowski set career highs with 15 goals and 10 assists this season and established himself as one of the team’s leaders. He is expected to return for his 19-year-old cam-paign.

Erik Miller, a 1999-born forward who played 41 games this season, will be looking to play a bigger role in 2016-2017.

Matt Campese and Spencer Bast, both 1997-born for-wards, will come to training camp in August fighting for jobs, with the likes of 2000-born Jackson Shepard, whom the Blazers flocked to with the 23rd pick in the 2015 bantam draft, pushing for a spot in the lineup.

Gaglardi said it doesn’t take a New York lawyer to figure out his club whiffed on the 1996-born draft (the 1997-born draft wasn’t a smash hit, either), but the Blazers are nearly done dealing with repercus-sions from those setbacks and more-recent draft picks are panning out up front and on the blue line.

DEFENCEMANKamloops will lose heart-

and-soul guy Ryan Rehill to graduation, but is expected to return six defenceman — Valentine, Dawson Davidson, Ondrej Vala, Cameron Reagan, Nolan Kneen and Conner McDonald.

“We need to be able to have someone who can run the power play,” MacGregor said.

“We’re losing Rehill, who’s been a big part and had a big shot on the back end.

“We hope one of those guys can take on some of that ice time and they all have to develop that physical presence that’s required in a hard series or physical game.”

Davidson and Vala, both 17, played beyond their years and saw big minutes in key situ-ations throughout the 2015-2016 season, including in the playoffs.

Kneen, picked third overall by the Blazers in the 2014 ban-tam draft, played in 52 regular-season and seven playoff games. McDonald, Kamloops’ second-round pick that year, saw 48 games of action in the regular season, but was a healthy scratch throughout the playoffs.

Much of the Blazers’ suc-cess on the blue line in the coming seasons will depend on their development, with both of them entering their 17-year-old seasons.

Reagan, 19 next season,

was perhaps the most-pleas-ant surprise of 2015-2016. He edged out Travis Verveda to win a job at training camp and never looked back.

“Cam’s play really improved,” Hay said, “He worked hard throughout the summer, came in, got to camp and really established himself as a reliable defenceman.”

MacGregor is in the market for an 18-year-old D-man this off-season, so Luke Zazula, who will be 16 next season, might have a tough time cracking the lineup, despite his standing as one of the Blazers’ most-favoured pros-pects.

“You have to look at the depth of your organization,” Hay said. “We have some good, young 16-year-old play-ers, but are they going to be ready to contribute?” Hay said.

“That’s a fine line. Do you have an older, 18- or 19-year-old player to give younger players time to develop?”

We’ll see.

CAPTAINCYWith the exodus of Matt

Needham, who became the seventh player in franchise history to play more than 300 games in blue and orange, the Blazers’ captaincy is vacant.

(For more on graduat-ing Blazers’ 20-year-olds

Needham, Rehill and Quinney, read KTW tomorrow).

“We’re going to let that play out a little bit,” Hay said.

“There are some good can-didates. I’m going to get a feel from the guys, talking to them in the exit meetings about who they think would be a good captain.

“You want someone with a strong personality that can work with the coach and the players in the dressing room, and someone that really cares about his teammates. That’s going to be very important.”

Candidates include the 20-year-olds — Shirley, Revel and Valentine (a long shot) — and Chyzowski.

EXPECTATIONSThe Blazers were one OT

winner away from the Western Conference semifinal in 2016, so what’s the goal next season?

“We’d like to make the play-offs and make another step,” Hay said. “We learned during the regular season, but we really learned in the playoffs. I think those seven games of playoff action helped our team understand what it takes.

“We were an overtime away from another round and that puts it in a whole new per-spective. The next step would be playoffs and add another round to it.”

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW


AUGUSTA, Ga. — Jason Day was lurking just outside Augusta National Golf Club, wondering if he wanted to go in.

The game just wasn’t fun anymore.

Even though he was set to play in his first Masters in 2011, Day thought it might be time to do something else.

“Golf is a very, very

frustrating game,’’ Day recalled.

Whether he was really serious about quitting, no one will

ever really know. Certainly, it’s not a con-sideration these days.

As the 28-year-old Aussie prepares to tee

off in the Masters for the sixth time today , he’s ranked No. 1 in the world and coming off his first major cham-pionship, one of the favourites along with defending champion Jordan Spieth and four-time major winner Rory McIlroy.

“I feel comfortable around this course,’’ Day said. “I know it sets up well for me. It’s a golf course where I can compete and play well and win.’’

Working against

Day: the last top-ranked player to win at Augusta was Tiger Woods in 2002.

Indeed, this might be the most wide-open Masters since the pre-Tiger days.

Spieth captured the first two majors of 2015 and nearly won the other two. McIlroy is missing only the Masters from a career Grand Slam. Day and 2013 Masters cham-pion Adam Scott are both two-time win-ners on the PGA Tour

this year. Two other Masters champs, Bubba Watson and Charl Schwartzel, also have victories in 2016. So does rising Japanese star Hideki Matsuyama, and let’s not forget Phil Mickelson, a three-time Masters winner and hardly ready to fade away at age 45.

“There’s a lot of guys who have a lot of suc-cess here that really brought some strong finishes and motivation and some momentum into this week,’’ said Spieth, who tied for second in his Masters debut in 2014 before cruising to victory with an 18-under score a year ago. “I know that the people who are down maybe a few — three, four, five shots after the first couple of rounds _ are capable of making up a lot of ground here.’’

Coming off one of the greatest years in golf history, Spieth isn’t even rated the favourite.

That would be Day.“He can be the

favourite,’’ Spieth said with a shrug. “We’ll go ahead and just do our thing.’’

Day hardly felt like the man to beat before the Masters five years ago.

In fact, he had totally lost his love for the game.

“You have to per-form, because if you don’t perform, then you’re off the tour,’’ Day said. “Then you start stressing about, ‘OK, is there enough money up to get my card for next year.’ And then you start losing a little bit of confidence. Then you start getting frustrated out there, and then you don’t practice because you’re frustrated with how you’re playing, and it’s a downward spiral from there.’’

Right before the Masters, it almost came to a head during a meeting with his wife, his agent and his sports psychologist.

“I’m like, ‘I just do not like the game right now. I’m just having a very, very hard time picking up the golf club to even just enjoy myself out there,’’’ Day said. “But we came

to the conclusion of just going and saying, ‘This might be my last Masters ever playing, I may as well enjoy it.’

“So,’’ he added, with a smile, “I went out there and finished sec-ond.’’

So much for finding another line of work.

Day followed up with a third-place showing in 2013. Now, having romped to vic-tory at last year’s PGA Championship, he’s rounded out golf’s new Big Three with McIlroy and Spieth.

McIlroy, who looked to be in a league of his own just two summers ago, is now chasing the others.

That, of course, is a bit annoying for the 26-year-old from Northern Ireland.

“I’d be lying if I said those two guys having success doesn’t moti-vate me,’’ McIlroy said. “I don’t want to be left behind. I want to be part of that conversa-tion. I’m clinging on at the moment. A few wins will change that.’’

He’s not lacking for confidence at Augusta National, a place where he took a four-stroke lead to the final round in 2011 only to throw it all away with a closing 80. He’s finished in the top 10 the last two years but hasn’t really been a serious contender, leav-ing the Masters as the only major absent from his resume.

“This is one I wish I had caught earlier,’’ McIlroy, showing the impatience of youth. “You would think that this is a golf course that I can definitely win on. I know that. I just haven’t quite been able to get myself over the hurdle.’’

Only five players have captured the modern version of the Grand Slam.

McIlroy is eager to join the exclusive club _ the sooner, the better.

“I feel like I’ve got everything I need to become a Masters champion,’’ he said. “But I think each and every year that passes that I don’t, it will become increasingly more difficult. So there’s no time like the present to get it done.’’

SPORTS

Organizers are calling the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Championship a success on nearly every front, just days after the tournament ended with a gold-medal showdown between Canada and the United States on Monday.

While they were still in the process of wrapping up one of the largest events in women’s hockey — and will be for several weeks — officials said the Tournament Capital of Canada had exceeded all expectations as host of the eight-day event.

“I think pleased would be an understatement,” Riley Wiwchar, Hockey Canada’s general manager of the 2016 women’s world cham-pionship, told KTW.

“Kamloops definitely lived up to its reputation at Canada’s tour-nament capital and I think will definitely be looked at for future events.”

Wiwchar said the World Sledge Hockey Challenge and the World Under-17 Championship would be among the Hockey Canada events that Kamloops would be

suitable to host down the road. He also wouldn’t be surprised to see the 4 Nations Cup return.

While numbers won’t be final-ized until later this spring, current estimates highlight a very success-ful event in Kamloops.

Monday’s gold-medal game

between Canada and the United States was played in front of 5,850 fans — neither seating nor stand-ing-room tickets were available in the hours leading up to puck drop at Sandman Centre.

The organizing committee estimates that more than 38,000 spectators took in the eight days of hockey across two venues and were particularly pleased by num-bers on McArthur Island.

The world championship was also a draw to Kamloops. Norm Daley, co-chair of the local orga-nizing committee, said roughly 4,900 room nights were booked at hotels throughout the city.

More than 1,200 people vis-ited for B.C. Hockey’s midget and bantam female provincial cham-pionships and the Western Shield senior A championship — which ran in conjunction with the worlds — and economic estimates sug-gest a significant boon to the city.

“Organizations that were here had to do well. Those people were eating in restaurants and doing things,” Daley said.

The city estimates an economic influx of $125 per person, per day during event.

“You start looking at that and I

just think it’s a tremendous boon to the local economy, especially at this time of year because there’s not a lot of travel going on,” he said.

Joey Beltrano, president of the accommodations association and general manager of the Double Tree by Hilton, echoed Daley’s numbers, estimating the city’s hotels were at between 80 and 90 per cent occupancy, roughly a 40 per cent year-over-year increase.

“I’m just glad that it hap-pened,” he said. “The timing was great — predominantly in February and March, these are real shoulder seasons for the industry.”

The traffic was felt more sig-nificantly downtown than in the Aberdeen area, where Steve Earl of Fairfield Inn and Suites by Marriott, said “it was like a normal spring break with tournaments going on.”

For Jon Pankuch, the world championship’s other co-chair and president of the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association, the three women’s hockey events cre-ated a tremendous showcase for women’s hockey and was a high-light for Kamloops girls who play the game.

He said combining the events was a success and he “would do it again in a heartbeat.

“We have a fairly strong asso-ciation on the women’s side — I think we’re at about 176 girls play-ing hockey. I think that will con-tinue,” Pankuch said.

“We’ve got to continue to push that side of the game to keep registration numbers up and that allows the budget to have develop-ment programs.”

The Road to Gold, meanwhile, was considered a success by most of the participating locations, though numbers didn’t quite live up to expectation at Canada House (the Kamloops Curling Club) —the late-night party stop.

General Manager Rob Nordin said the club worked on the pre-sumption numbers would be similar to those of the Brier Patch in 2014.

“What we found, it was very family-oriented,” Nordin said of the worlds.

“Obviously, we wanted to do more people, but I think it was a success in that the people who used it loved it and it was great exposure for the curling club. It showed what we can do there.”

Gloria was predeceased by her son Daryl Robert Halpern and her parents Elgin and Vivian Hannam in July 1979. She is survived by her loving husband Willie, her son Richard (Beverly), daughter Rhonda, sister Linda Higgs (Ralph), grandsons Kodie Halpern and Nicholas Halpern and nephews Gregory Higgs, Christopher Higgs and niece Melissa Baker.

Nels Edward SaemerowNels was born in Kamloops on September 16, 1947 to Melvine and Mona (Chester) Saemerow and passed away on March 30, 2016.

He came home as a baby to Knutsford but soon moved to the Heffley Creek area. The family moved to New Westminster where Nels received his schooling. After high school, he lived in the Kamloops area and then in Peace River, Alberta. He married Helen on May 1, 1979

and they returned to Kamloops in 1990. Although he worked in construction, trucking and agriculture, at heart he was always a cowboy.

The Saemerow stubbornness stood him in good stead as he battled first multiple myeloma for ten years and then lung cancer.

He is predeceased by his parents and many beloved uncles, aunts and cousins.

Family was of paramount importance to Nels.

He is survived by his loving wife Helen (Humphrey), his sister Brenda Wiss (Jimmy), her children Kelli and Jason and their families and Helen’s siblings, Moe, George, Mike, Steve, Christine and their families as well as much-loved cousins and many dear friends.

The family wishes to thank Doctor’s Kip, Beaton and Avanessian who began the cancer journey with Nels and the countless other caring medical professionals he encountered on the way and the friends and family who provided so much support.

A gathering to remember Nels Life will be held at the Knutsford Community Hall on Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 1:00 PM.

If friends so desire, donations to the Kamloops Cancer Centre at RIH would be appreciated in Nel’s memory.

GEORGE BYRON SNYDERBorn on March 6, 1939 - Passed away peaceful on March 30, 2016 at the age of 77, with family by his side. George will be lovingly remembered by his devoted and cherished wife Elisabeth, his hero Scooter Dog, his children Kelly Mann, Stephanie (Vincent) Arduini, Victor (Gina) Mann, Jane (John) Derry, Cheryl (John) Gagliano and Terry (Ingrun) Mann,

his grandchildren Brennan (Ming), Connor, Anica (Alex) and Anthony Arduini, Ronald, CJ (Darcy), Korey and Nicholas Mann, Marianna Gagliano, Ashlynn Bousquet, Krystal (Aaron) Webster, and his great-grandchildren Kingston Douglas, Emma and Hannah Thiessen and Jack Webster, brothers-in-law Ted and John Woodrow. He will be dearly missed by many kinfolk in Alabama, as well as friends and family throughout Canada and the USA. He was predeceased by his mother, father and sister Willie-Mae, George Lee and Donna Wright.

George Byron was born in Whistler, Alabama and grew up in the South. He married Mary Woodruff at the age of 18, and they had two daughters Stephanie and Jane. In 1968 the family immigrated to Canada and settled in Kamloops, BC. In 1979 George married the love of his life and soulmate, Elisabeth (Liz) and was blessed with four step-children, Kelly, Victor, Cheryl and Terry. Before moving back to Canada in 2013, George and Liz spent 19 years in Orange Beach, Alabama. George enjoyed daily walks to the beach with his little hero “Scooter Dog”. He loved to sit on the front porch, sip cold tea and watch the birds fly over. Waving and saying hello to anyone that walked by. We all know, especially the staff at Ridgeview Lodge, that he was a true “Southern Gentleman”. His slow southern accent made him something special.

“The Southern Gentleman doesn’t rush the world and the world knows not to rush the Southern Gentleman.”

George’s work career started as a GE appliance repair man in Mobile, Alabama. Soon after moving to Canada he joined the IBEW. He was a proud union member, even checking that his beer was union made. Anyone that was an electrician (or not) was quickly encouraged to sign up as a member. He worked at many job sites throughout Canada and the USA, his favorites were Mica Creek Dam, Revelstoke Dam, and the Tar Sands in Alberta. IBEW was one of his last memories to fade away.

George’s Alzheimer disease was confirmed in December 2013 and on December 31, 2014 he moved into Ridgeview Lodge, Kamloops, BC. Our family was blessed beyond words to have such a caring and loving staff spend the last year of his life with him. You are all truly “Caring Angels”. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts. He loved Y’all! He will live on in the memories of many, especially his sweet sayings, “Everything is Relative” “Tickety Boo” or “Hey Good Lookin’. We will never forget that sweet chuckle, loving smile and famous handlebar moustache that he wore so proudly!

George/Dad, you were so brave to endure what you did. You deserve to rest in peace now. We love you and know we will see you again someday. Watch over us now as we have done for you. In lieu of flowers, should family or friends desire, donations to the Alzheimer Society of Kamloops, BC or the Recreation Department of Ridgeview Lodge, 920 Desmond St., Kamloops, BC in memory of George Snyder would be greatly appreciated.

A Memorial Service will be held at the Kamloops Community Church, Salvation Army, 344 Poplar St., Kamloops, BC on Saturday, April 9, 2016 at 11:00 am.

Condolences may be expressed at DrakeCremation.com.

Sherry Arko

February 21, 1961 – April 3, 2016

It is with great sadness, we announce the passing of Sherry Arko.

Sherry Arko was born on February 21, 1961 to Jim and Angeline Rhindress in Kamloops, BC. That same year they moved to Blue River, with her siblings Debra and Les. Eight years later, the Rhindress’s moved back to Kamloops where Sherry attended Elementary and High School in Brocklehurst. Her first job was at Mr. Mikes. Sherry was a spunky girl who was full of laughter and never afraid to try new things. In 1979 in Chase, BC

Sherry met her husband Frank.

Frank and Sherry started living together in 1980 and moved to the Little Shuswap, where Sherry was working in Sorrento. After moving throughout the interior, they returned to the Shuswap where they bought their first home and Wed in 1986. Sherry started her own business, Shuswap Blinds. She installed blinds, all while raising her children Christopher, Melissa and James. She spent many hours volunteering within the school as well with after school sports and other activities.

Moving back to Kamloops in 1997, Sherry researched her background finding her Métis heritage which she embraced deeply. Becoming a women’s rep and heavily involved in the Métis Women BC. Sherry was very proud of all the people she met along the way. She was full of passion and laughter, where her memorable laugh will be missed by all.

Sherry worked at the Royal Inland Hospital, where she made many great friends. She will be dearly missed by everyone that knew her.

After an eight month battle with cancer, Sherry passed away on Sunday, April 3, 2016. She is predeceased by her mother Angeline. Sherry will be forever remembered by her loving husband Frank, children Christopher, Melissa (Tanner) and James. Her father Jim Rhindresss, her sister Debra (Renny) Apps, brother Leslie Rhindress, niece Natasha (Tant), nephew Steven (Jen) and great nieces and nephews Oren, Amelia, Nolan and Owen.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, April 23, 2016 at the Heritage House located at 100 Lorne Street from 1-4 pm.

Dennis Raymond Ward

January 7, 1931 – March 28, 2016

If there ever was a Maverick in the family, it was Raymond. He was the first to attempt the unusual with his all or nothing approach. Raymond passed away on Monday, March 28, 2016 at the age of 85 in his usual Maverick style while crossing the train tracks at the Pat Road Crossing East of Kamloops.

He was the first to try waterskiing on the Okanagan Lake, the first in town to have a new 1964 black Mustang Convertible and the first to own a Honda motorcycle in the Okanagan in the 1950’s. Raymond started the Okanagan Skydiving Club in the early 60’s and later when transferred to Kamloops started the Kamloops Parachute Club in the late 1960’s. He made over 700 parachute jumps himself while teaching a multitude of students the fun of skydiving.

Raymond was born on a farm in Saltcoats, Saskatchewan in 1931 to parents Alvery and Maud (nee Brimacombe) and later moved with his family to Naramata. He often talked about the wonderful young life he had while growing up along with his brother Don and all their buddies, playing baseball, sailing, swimming across the Okanagan Lake to Summerland and working in the family orchard.

He owned an orchard in the 1950’s and during the winter months he could be found adventuring in Mexico. In the 1960’s, Raymond became a Field Accountant with Interior Contracting Company and then in the l980’s, started his own tax accounting business. He sold the business in 2000 when he retired to spend many years acting as Park Host and Maintenance Guy for the Kettle Valley Railway and the Canada Trail. You could find him handing out water, helping lost strangers, rebuilding rock ovens and hosting hot dog parties at this campsite for anyone to enjoy.

Raymond was a wonderful father to his only child Natasha and he gave her a fantasy childhood with a life-size kickwillie, a full size swinging boat between two pine trees, a larger than large tree house, horses, skidoos and more. Many good times were had at his home at Pinantan Lake spending time with Natasha along with all the neighbourhood children joining in on the fun. As Natasha got older he introduced her to adventure travelling and took her to Bolivia, Peru and Mexico.

Raymond was an unforgettable man who was very generous with both his time and money. He would often give to people on the street and wish them his best. During the Christmas season, he was a supporter of the Salvation Army and manned the Christmas kettle while smiling, handing out candy canes and wishing a Merry Christmas to all.

Raymond leaves his wonderful memories to his daughter Natasha (Andy), grandchildren Ava and Mark, his brother Don (Sula), nephews Colin (Mona), Roger (Gail) and their children. He also leaves behind his former wife and life-long friend Eileen (Charlie). His many friends, cousins and business acquaintances will truly remember Raymond as a straight shooter, kind, generous and caring to anyone who needed a hand up.

A one-of-a-kind man who added much to our lives.

Memorial Services will be held on Thursday, April 7 at 2:00 PM at the Salvation Army Church, 344 Poplar Street, North Kamloops.

Donations may be made to the Salvation Army on Raymond’s behalf

Condolences for Raymond may be sent to DrakeCremation.com

BRIEFS

Obituaries & In Memoriam DOROTHY MARGARET FRY

In Loving Memory Of A Very Special LadyDorothy sadly passed away February 15, 2016 at Kamloops Seniors Village. She was dearly loved by all her family and they will all miss her. She is survived by daughter Wenda of Hope, BC, grandchildren Tracy (Gordon) Jose of Hope, and Tommy Van Holland of Drumheller, AB, great-grandchildren Jamey, Terry, Samantha and Adam; step-daughter Marilyn (Rob) Keating and family of Kamloops, brothers Herb (Joyce) Hardy of Sanford, MB, Alfred (Brenda) Hardy of Logan Lake, and 18 nieces and nephews, many of whom considered ‘Aunt Dot’ a Matriarch.

Dorothy was born December 28, 1922 in Gladstone, Manitoba, to Herbert and Lily Hardy. She was a sister to brother Fred and

over the next 19 years siblings Garnet, Lillian, Herbert and Alfred came along. As a child, she was often referred to as “Princess”, a name she lived up to throughout her life, always gracious, charming and elegant.

Community family dances were a big part of the Hardy’s social life and it was at one of these dances she met her first love, farmer and musician Tom Fry. She was “much taken “with his piano playing skills and was thrilled when he asked her out. Tom and Dorothy were married November 1, 1941 and moved onto his family farm in Kilarney. In 1956 they moved to North Vancouver where Dorothy worked as a sales clerk for Home Hardware, a job she enjoyed until her retirement in 1989. Sadly, Tom passed away September 14, 1977. She spent the next few years taking loving care of her mother, entertaining family and meeting friends on the weekends to go dancing at the local Legion. Her family was very important to her and she enjoyed their visits.

It was at one of these Legion dances she met Ernie Worsfold and they settled down together in Port Coquitlam. Ernie introduced Dorothy to boating and fishing on the ocean. They took many holiday trips together, including Hawaii, Portugal and Mexico. They also made many road trips to Reno, Vegas and back to the Prairies to visit family. This happy relationship ended April 14, 2009, when Ernie sadly passed away. Dorothy then moved to Berwick on the Park in Kamloops. In 2011 she moved to Kamloops Seniors Village where she resided until her passing.

Dorothy’s family would like to thank the staff of Kamloops Seniors Village Unit 1B for their loving care and support.

A Memorial Tea in memory of Dorothy will be held on April 16th, 2016 at 1:30 pm at First Memorial Funeral Service, #8-177 Tranquille Road, Kamloops.

Vonnie Lee Ann Wood 1964 - 2016

On Saturday, March 12th, 2016, Vonnie Wood entered into rest in Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta.

Being the only daughter born to Woody and Mona Wood, with her two older brothers Michael “Woody” and Todd, Vonnie showed signs at an early age of being someone special.

Vonnie faced any challenge head on and persevered until she succeeded. Being an “A” student in school, working with horses and becoming an auxiliary member of the Kamloops Detachment of the R.C.M.P. to only name a few of her accomplishments. It was then off to “Depot” for full R.C.M.P training. Vonnie continued her persuit of excellence throughout her training, breaking records in a number of areas. She became a black belt in Goshin-do, receiving many “Attaboys” and honours for bravery throughout her 23 years of service.

Animals were a big part of her life and “Doe” was by her side until the end.

We will always remember Vonnie as a strong, generous and loving person and will miss her dearly.

Friends are invited to a Celebration of Vonnie’s Life to be held in the Schoening Funeral Chapel on Sunday, May 22nd, 2016, beginning at 1:00 p.m.

Should friends desire, donations to the S.P.C.A., 1211 – 8th Street, Kamloops, B.C. V2B 2Y3 would be appreciated in her memory.

RIVER CITY NISSAN 2405 EAST TRANS CANADA HWY, KAMLOOPS

TEL: (250) 377-3800

After three flights and 24 hours of trav-elling, I finally arrive at my hotel room in

Arvidsjaur, Sweden, and flop onto my bed for a quick nap.

I need my rest

because I will only have a few hours the next day to experience the next-generation

Volkswagen Tiguan in this remote part of Sweden, just below the Arctic Circle.

Why is VW holding an event in the heart of Lapland?

Well, this is the

European equivalent of Kapuskasing, Ont., a cold weather testing facility for automakers.

When car compa-nies want to test how a car will start, heat up and function in extreme temperatures, they test them in plac-es like Kapuskasing and Arvidsjaur.

Volkswagen did its cold weather testing on the next Tiguan in Sweden two years ago and now it is set to hit the European market this spring.

For Canadians, we will need to wait until the fall of 2017 to get our hands on this much-improved com-pact utility.

The Tiguan has always been a fun-to-drive, great handling compact utility, but for many, it’s just a bit too compact.

The upcoming Tiguan is the first util-ity to be built on the award-winning plat-form developed for the latest VW Golf, to be shared across dozens of VW products world-wide.

This platform is called MQB and what it does is provide a stiffer, safer, lighter but more importantly, larger platform to build this Tiguan.

The version I had a chance to drive is the European model that is 111 millimetres longer in the wheelbase than the existing Tiguan.

But the one we will get here, next year, will be 187 millimetres longer between the wheels. What this will do is provide VW the ability to sell both a five-passenger utility and the option of a three-row seven-pas-senger model.

Styling is all-new, with glimpses of the latest Golf in the headlamp design and sharper creases and edges.

This is a much big-ger and better looking vehicle, almost upscale compared to the cur-rent utility. With the Tiguan switching to the MQB platform and being built in the same Mexican factory as the latest Golf, it allows VW to share the same interior refinement and features found in that car.

Call Zimmer Wheaton Buick GMC at 250-374-1135, or visit us at 685 West Notre Dame Drive, Kamloops. [License #11184]

DRIVEWAY

The dash has a more upscale feel, with chrome trim, soft mate-rials where it matters and the lat-est centre screens.

The base screen will be 16 cen-timeters with the option to get a larger 20-centimeter screen.

Both will function as a backup camera and both will come stan-dard with Android Auto and Apple Car Play for seamless smartphone integration.

What the European model features is a projected instrument

cluster that is customizable and state of the art.

This feature has not been con-firmed for our North American model, but might be included down the road.

As mentioned, the larger dimensions are welcome. The back seat, even with the European proportions, is a big improvement.

The larger car sold here should be rather generous in the back seat and cargo area.

Part of the reason for driv-ing in northern Sweden was to experience the latest VW 4Motion

all-wheel drive (AWD) system in conditions exactly like Canada.

This new AWD has the ability to send the power to the front or rear wheels and from side-to-side.

This, along with a new control dial in the centre of the console, lets drivers choose different pro-grams for snow, off-road and a normal, default setting.

The new system will use the stability program, ABS and active differentials to contain slippage and keep the Tiguan heading down the road.

I tried this system on

and off and, when I had it off, I plowed into a snow bank.

Thankfully, didn’t need to be towed out.

This stuff does work. Engine options have not be

confirmed for our Canadian market, but a good guess is the existing 200-horsepower turbo four-cylinder will be put to work and, hopefully, a refined TDI die-sel version.

This car has been engineered to take the TDI and the inten-tion is for it to come here. We will just have to wait until the TDI

mess is cleared so we can get this next Tiguan with that fuel-saving engine.

The daylight hours are short near the Arctic Circle but having a few hours to drive the Tiguan over snowy roads, through a winter driving course and spending some time looking it over, the wait will be worth it.

This is a major step forward for VW and the Tiguan will be a force in the heart of this competitive segment.

Next fall will be here before you know it.

New system a ‘major step forward’ for VolkswagenFrom A34
