The father of a family of six said their rented mobile home might have been saved had fire hydrants in the park been operational.
Darren Crabbe, whose family is homeless follow-ing Monday’s blaze, told KTW a Kamloops Fire Rescue engine could not hook up to a hydrant at Iron Mask Trailer Park in west Kamloops.
He said he timed a KFR water truck’s arrival at 17 minutes behind the engine.
Had hydrants been working, Crabbe believes the fire could have been contained and the fam-ily would not have lost everything.
“It was just contained to the kitchen,” he said.
“They would have been able to put it out.”
Kamloops Fire Rescue Chief Dale McLean said the hydrants at the trailer park are privately owned — and that they’ve prov-en to be a problem for firefighters in the past.
“We’ve always had an issue with the qual-ity of the flow in those hydrants,” McLean said.
“There’s not much we can do about that. It’s the private infrastructure.”
McLean said the hydrants are such a prob-lem that the fire depart-ment automatically sends water trucks when calls come in from Iron Mask Trailer Park.
“That’s what we’ve done and we did that in this case,” he said.
Private hydrant sys-tems are required to undergo annual servic-ing. Owners of private hydrant systems also must submit statistics to fire officials on an annual basis.
Randy Carrell, who
owns Iron Mask Trailer Park, told KTW she has kept up her annual ser-vicing obligation, but wouldn’t get into details about the hydrant in question.
“Right now, this thing is under full investigation and they’re [KFR] putting together all the facts,” she said. “They’re conducting the investigation. They’re professional people and they’re investigating it properly.”

“The fire happened on the stove,” she said.
“The fire patterns all indicate that was indeed the cause of the fire.”
Ball said the structure is a total loss, but added it’s too early to put a dol-lar figure on damage.
Meanwhile, a box of donated clothes and toys from Dufferin elementary that came

Pesticide debate will carry into JulyThe topic has been
debated fiercely for the past week and, because of a decision by Kamloops council on Tuesday, the argument will continue into July.
Council chambers was packed with observers to hear Coun. Tina Lange’s notice of motion to make it illegal for homeowners or professional applicators to apply cosmetic pesticides to lawns, trees or flowers.
The current bylaw per-mits application only by a certified applicator.
Lange’s bylaw amend-ment would not affect pes-ticide use on fruit trees or vegetable gardens.
However, council
agreed to table the motion until a July meeting at the earliest, at the suggestion of Coun. Arjun Singh, who in the past few days has been eliciting comments on the controversial sub-ject on his Facebook page.
Singh said his tabling motion will offer more chance for public debate on the issue.
“When there’s contro-versy, hotness — everyone should have a chance to address council properly,” Singh told reporters after the meeting.
As it was Tuesday, homeowners, citizens and those who work in the industry were forced to frame statements as awk-ward questions during a public-inquiry period.
Mayor Peter Milobar gave little room for
rambling speeches and required questions of staff.
Those ranged from whether pesticides were approved for Secwepemc territory to whether coun-cillors and city staff have more scientific knowledge than Health Canada.
Many in the room appeared to be opposed to Lange’s proposed bylaw.
Grassroots Choice Lawn Care owner Jacquie Doherty, who has become the public voice against the proposed bylaw, urged council to hold a referen-dum this fall.
Following the meeting, Doherty said she was puz-zled by Singh’s move as the vote on Lange’s motion will be held mid-summer and doesn’t allow businesses to plan for possible change.
“He suggested to me
we’d push it to October, when businesses aren’t in full swing,” Doherty said.
Singh said his success-ful tabling motion will
give delegations — for and against — time to present to council.
“There’s nine or 10 del-egations available — there’s lots of spots,” he said.
Coun. Donovan Cavers said Singh’s tabling motion will only delay what he predicts will be an even-tual approval by council of Lange’s motion to ban cosmetic pesticides in Kamloops.
One of the speakers, Madeline Jones, said allow-ing continued pesticide application by companies is tantamount to allowing smoking in council cham-bers.
“I’m urging council to follow the lead of many European countries to ban these toxic chemicals,” Jones said.
“When there’s controversy, hotness — everyone should have a chance to address council properly.”

From record rains to searing heat — within days
While the valley was drenched in record-setting rain that caused clo-sure of fields yesterday, the seasonal power of the Interior sun is expected to arrive by the weekend.
The City of Kamloops closed all city-owned and School District 73 fields in order to protect the turf from damage and prevent injury to players after heavy rainfall this week.
Tuesday’s rainfall was measured at 17.7 millimetres, surpassing the previous June 2 record of 12.7 mil-limetres in 1955.
“No. 1 is preventing injury,” said parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam. “Particularly baseball, soccer and slo-pitch are too danger-ous with sliding on turf. And infields are really muddy because it’s clay-based.”
Hard use in soggy fields also causes root damage.
Environment Canada is forecasting showers today, followed by a hot spell beginning tomorrow, with tempera-tures expected to soar to a high of 35 C on Sunday and 36 C on Monday.
The latter would be a record for June 8 if the mercury reaches the heights predicted.
“Now we’re coming into summer, the minute the sun comes out it has a lot of power,” said meteorologist Doug Lundquist.
An intense high-pressure ridge is expected to park itself over the cen-tral Interior, a system Lundquist said will bring scorching heat to the val-ley. If the high temperatures come to pass — and break records for those days as expected — early June will be marked by extremes.
The more than 17 millimetres of rainfall that fell on Tuesday was greater than in April (a dry month that tied for lowest on record) and May combined, which totalled 15.8 millimetres of precipitation.
That rain continued heavy at times yesterday and was expected to begin easing with a chance of show-ers today.
Putnam said staff will look at the fields again this morning and make a decision before noon whether to reopen.
One complicating factor is high river and groundwater levels at McArthur Island that will impede drainage.
Hillside Stadium’s artificial turf, which is hosting the B.C. Lions’ train-ing camp, remains open. The Lions moved some of their morning rou-tine inside TCC.
Record-breaking rainfall this week prompted the City of Kamloops to close sports fields until further notice. Shuttered fields include this soccer pitch on McArthur Island. With sunny and hot weather expected to return tomorrow and last into next week, expect sports to resume on the fields either later today or tomorrow.DAVE EAGLES/KTW

MORTGAGE MATTERSRenters!! Are you ready to buy?
People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy?
Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy.
1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment?
2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job?
3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs?
4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do?
5) Inventory – Perhaps most importantly...what is available for sale in your price range, in the neighbourhood you prefer and in the style of home that you desire? A premature step into something that is only second best for you and your family begs a “for sale sign” in your future. Get it right the fi rst time. Shop the market and be prepared to take a break if what you see doesn’t make you happy.
6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will allow a borrow downpayment. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% downpayment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc.
7) Nobody Moves Nobody Gets Hurt – Staying exactly where you are involves the least amount of work, least amount of change and least amount of money out of your pocket...in the short term. Preparing yourself for home ownership is something that can start today and gets you set up for the long term. A trip to your mortgage broker is part of that plan.

Calling the original sentence “a pittance,” a Crown prosecutor asked a B.C. Supreme Court judge on Tuesday to more than double the fines handed to Tom Gaglardi and his com-pany after both were convicted last year of environmental charges.
Gaglardi, the owner of the Kamloops Blazers and the NHL’s Dallas Stars, was convicted last fall on two counts of harmful alteration of a fish habitat.
His company, Northland Properties, was found guilty of iden-tical counts, while his father, Robert Gaglardi, was acquitted.
In December, Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison ordered Gaglardi and Northland pay a total of $140,000 in fines and manda-tory donations to the B.C. Conservation Foundation.
The Crown appealed that sentence in February.
During the trial last year, court heard the Gaglardi family home on Kamloops Lake in Savona — known as “Tom’s Shack,” accord-
ing to several Crown witnesses — was under-going extensive renova-tions in 2010.
The charges stem from riprap installed by workers taking orders from Gaglardi dur-ing construction of a boat ramp and shore-line trees he ordered removed from the prop-erty.
“There was an ele-ment of wilfulness here — a desire to get the job done and seek forgive-ness later,” Harrison said in handing down his sentence.
Harrison also quoted an expert in salmon habitats who testified at trial that the work changed the shoreline on Gaglardi’s property “from a very good fish habitat to a moon-scape.”
During the trial, former Northland employee and star Crown witness Jim Parks said he was ordered to destroy documents and throw his computer hard drive “in the lake” when federal investiga-tors began looking into alleged environmental improprieties at Tom’s Shack.
Gaglardi wrote in his notebook throughout the trial, alternating between notes on the proceedings, Northland
business and what appeared to be line combinations for the Dallas Stars.
He also had to be told repeatedly by sheriffs to turn off his iPhone, which, at one point, he concealed in a book.
Court heard it will take more than 40 years to restore the salmon habitat that was destroyed by Gaglardi.
In court, Gaglardi said he was sorry.
“I wanted to express my apologies for what transpired,” he said.
The maximum sen-tence for harmful altera-tion of a fish habitat today is $1 million.
But, because Gaglardi’s renovations took place before sen-tences were increased, the most he can be fined is $300,000 per count.
Crown prosecutor Digby Kier asked B.C. Supreme Court Justice Susan Griffin to order Gaglardi and Northland
pay a total of $300,000 in fines.
“This was serious, seri-ous, serious fish habitat that was utterly destroyed, that will take a long time to repair,” he said.
“For a billion-dollar enterprise such as Northland Property company runs, the respondent Tom Gaglardi being its presi-dent, [the sentence] did not amount to anything more than a slap on the wrist.
“This was a pittance
to the respondents in this case. A pittance — nothing to it for these billionaire enterprises.”
Defence lawyer Rob Bruneau said the lower-court sentence was in line with other similar offences.
“The judge imposed fines which were entirely appropriate,” he said.
At one point, Griffin interrupted Bruneau’s argument to ask him whether Gaglardi’s wealth should be a factor in her decision.
“Isn’t there a moral difference between a man who steals a loaf of bread when he can afford the bread factory as opposed to someone who’s starv-ing?” she asked.
Bruneau agreed, but said it’s a different argu-ment when the crime is an environmental one.
No date has been set for Griffin’s decision.
Gaglardi was not present for the appeal hearing.

Police target park partiesThe party season has police
petitioning parents to help prevent kids from partaking in mass gatherings in city parks.
Kamloops Mounties are appealing to teens and their parents following another weekend during which officers were kept busy breaking up parties.
One such weekend gathering took place in Albert McGowan Park in Sahali, a popular
party spot for teens.There, police seized alcohol.Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Cheryl
Bush said police will continue to break up such parties, not-ing fines will be handed out to those found contravening the Liquor Control and Licensing Act and/or City of Kamloops bylaws.
The fine for a minor in pos-session of liquor or consuming liquor is $230. The bylaw fine
for being in a park between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. is $100.
“Police need to have their resources available for true emergencies and not be tied to managing groups of youth partying on busy Friday and Saturday nights,” Bush said.
“Any of the youth dealt with by police will have their parents contacted to come and take responsibility for them, regard-less of the time.”
Hang up on this phone scamKamloops RCMP continues
to receive calls from the public about a phone scam in which the caller claims to be from Revenue Canada.
In the most recent incident, the caller tried to tell the victim they were in arrears with their taxes and owed $1,900.
The recipient of this call knew
that they did not owe any taxes and did not arrange for a trans-action with the caller.
However, the person on the phone became quite persistent and hostile and called back a second time.
The scammer also stated they needed to collect the tax pay-ment in person, in cash, which
was a red flag that the call was not legitimate.
Police were unable to trace the source of the call in this inci-dent.
Before conducting trans-actions, police are reminding the public to verify any calls in which they are asked to make payments.
Be water safe this springKamloops Mounties are
reminding people using rivers in the area to be careful as water levels are rising with spring run-off.
Police say boaters in the North and South Thompson rivers should be watching out for increased debris floating in
the river and be aware of lower bridge clearances.
Boaters are advised to slow down and assess clearances before passing under any struc-tures as water levels are chang-ing daily.
In addition, Mounties are reminding all people in boats
to wear life-jackets and for all boats to have the required safety equipment on board.
“At this time of the year, when the water is still extremely cold, a life-jacket is the best defence for surviving cold-water shock and hypothermia,” RCMP Cpl. Cheryl Bush said.
City likes Chances of expansionCity council has given its nod
of approval to an application to double the number of people who may be served alcohol at Chances Gaming Centre
The North Shore bingo and slot-machine centre is applying to the B.C. Liquor Control and
Licensing Branch to amend its liquor licence in order to begin serving alcohol at 11 a.m. rather than noon, and to serve drinks within its newly constructed addition and patio.
Chances is also ask-ing to increase capacity to
900 people from 445.While Chances had originally

LOCAL NEWS
The city hopes to fund some of the multi-million-dollar fix needed at Westsyde Pool with a federal grant.
Kamloops council has approved an application to the Canada 150 fund, intended to mark the nation’s 150th year.
Parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said the rebuild at Westsyde aligns with the dates and intention of the Canada 150 fund. A little more than $46 million is directed to Western Canada.
Eligible fixes and expansions include to arenas, pools, gyms and walking trails.
The cost of replacing the indoor pool’s roof is estimated at between $1.2 and $2.1 million.
• Downtown residents will have their say at a public hearing before council decides whether to allow zoning changes in the 800- block of Battle Street for a 34-unit apartment building.
Councillors voted
Tuesday to send the pro-posed zoning amend-ment to a public hearing at a yet-to-be deter-mined date.
Development ser-vices director Marvin Kwiatkowski said seven properties would be con-solidated for the devel-opment, which would comply with the city’s official community plan.
The building would include 10 seniors’ units.
The developer also wants to reduce the number of parking spaces to 30, rather than 33 required under the current formula.
Coun. Marg Spina said there are questions among neighbourhood residents about a four-storey building that may alter views.

Cold-case manslaughter trial begins
Blows to the head with a blunt object are what killed a 19-year-old woman found dead in an Okanagan ditch more than 20 years ago, a jury has been told.
Neil Snelson’s re-trial for the cold-case slaying of Jennifer Cusworth began on Wednesday in a Kamloops courtroom.
Cusworth’s body was found in a ditch on a Kelowna road on Oct. 17, 1993.
“She was killed by several blows to the back of her head by a blunt object,” Crown prosecutor Dione Pizzey said in her open-ing to the seven-woman, five-man jury.
“Before she died, she had been choked.”Pizzey told jurors semen was found in
Cusworth’s pelvic area and tested for DNA.“The DNA profile from the semen
matches the DNA of the accused, Neil Snelson,” Pizzey said.
Court heard Cusworth and Snelson had been at the same house party the day before her body was found. Pizzey said a
pickup truck similar to Snelson’s was also seen by a witness near where Cusworth’s body was found.
Snelson was questioned by police in 1993, but wasn’t charged until detectives revisited the investigation in 2009.
RCMP Cpl. Karen Holmes, the first Crown witness, described to jurors the scene where Cusworth’s body was found.
Holmes described the body as “a black mass” and said she could only tell it was a woman based on jewelry.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley made sure jurors knew Snelson had already stood trial for the offence.
“This case has been tried before,” he said.
“Do not speculate what happened at the end of that trial. What happened there has nothing to do with this trial — abso-lutely nothing.”
The outcome of Snelson’s previous trial was appealed and he was ordered to again stand trial.
tried before.Do not speculate what happened at the end of that trial. What happened there has absolutely nothing to do with this trial — absolutely nothing.”

THE JURY IN THE MANSLAUGHTER TRIAL OF NEIL SNELSON
Feds to help fix pool?
www.kamloopsthisweek.com A8 THURSDAY, June 4, 2015
It would be so helpful if some Kamloops drivers could be magically swept away in their cars and plunked down at the cor-
ner of Yonge and Queen streets in downtown Toronto.
They would then know what slow-moving traffic really looks like.
Since the construction began on Overlanders Bridge, I’ve had to cross it several times each week.
The first few weeks, there was little delay at all. When the bridge went down to the two lanes, as it is today as work continues, the lon-gest trek was 15 minutes just after 5 p.m. on a Tuesday, travelling from the KTW office on Dalhousie Drive over to Mount Paul United Church.
It took 15 minutes.One morning, I had to head
from home on the far east side of the city to The Dunes in Westsyde. That was the longest commute — about 30 minutes — but it was lengthy because it was about 14 kilometres and I tend to stick to the speed limit.
Coming back to the office wasn’t a time challenge: Down Westsyde Road to Eighth Street, down Tranquille Road, do the detour around to Fortune Drive, over the bridge, drop to 30 km/h and back to the office.
Didn’t notice any traffic issue worth upping the blood pressure.
Recently, I’ve been heading to and from work through the downtown to experience life on Columbia Street now that the city has started work on a few blocks there.
It’s been about a minute a block to get past that construction
site, which is nothing too onerous.One morning, leaving at about
8 a.m. for work, I came through the downtown again. With a stop at the school board office to drop off something, it still didn’t take much time because, seeing the lineup ahead and wanting to see how easy it was to avoid it, I dropped down from Columbia at Fifth Avenue, went down to Nicola Street and across to First Avenue.
Still made it to work by 8:30 a.m.
I have seen some truly crazy drivers during these jaunts out into the city, people who simply won’t follow the zipper-merge process the city has asked us all to use. It happens most often not at either of those two road sites, but most frequently going east on Notre Dave Drive, headed to Summit Road and onto the Trans-Canada Highway.
Invariably, there will be people in the inside lane waiting for someone — anyone — to let them in.
It leads to traffic backing up in that lane, likely frustration for the drivers using it who want to turn left at that intersection.
It’s strange the city hasn’t dealt with that corner, making both lanes right-turns, the inside lane also a left turn and then teaching us all that, if you want to go onto the highway, use that inside lane. If you want to head up into Sahali, stay in the outside lane.
Makes sense to me, but, then, I’ve driven in Toronto traffic.
Someone complained to me about all the road construction happening at the same time in the city. It’s not just the bridge and Columbia; there’s work being done on other streets, as well.
There’s a simple and obvious reason for the timing — it’s hard to fix roads in the winter. One might say it’s pretty much impossible to do it any other time but during warm days.
Progress on the bridge has been impressive. Each time I’ve crossed it, no matter what time of day, it’s been busy with workers making repairs. Despite Facebook complaints about rude flag people, all I’ve seen are friendly people doing their jobs to ensure we all get across the river safely.
Some wave, some smile, some just hold the sign.
For all who won’t leave a gap, who are hyperventilating as they cross town or who turn to Facebook to vent emotions, remember how many times you’ve almost been hit at Columbia and Second, or how many potholes you’ve bounced over, men-tally admonishing city hall for its neglect.
Slow down. Let someone in. Maybe, when you’re the one
trying to do the zipper merge, someone will do the same for you.
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission has issued its final report on the legacy of the residential-school program in Canada — and the 381-page summary is powerful reading (see story, page A12).
Justice Murray Sinclair, chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, said residential-school survivors endured a “cultural genocide’’ that tore apart their families and left them to deal with a lifetime of horrors connected to the abuse — physical, emotional and sexual — they suffered.
The scandal is well known and has been in the news for many years.In 2007, the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement
was created. It included almost $2 billion for compensation payments to former students and established the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that spent six years crafting the report released this year.
In 2008, Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered a historic formal apology in the House of Commons for the residential-school system.
Sinclair’s report includes 94 recommendations, including the estab-lishment of a national holiday of remembrance and that the horrors of the residential-school system be taught more intensively in schools.
But, the greater question is one Gov.-Gen. David Johnston asked yesterday: “Where do we go from here?”
In Kamloops, there is the matter of the day-scholars lawsuit with which to contend. The Tk’emlups and Sechelt Indian bands are seek-ing compensation for those who attended residential schools during the day, but went home at night.
Across the nation, there are First Nations groups who argue the federal government has not done nearly enough to address the wrongs — formal apology and settlement agreement be damned.
Where do we go from here? It is a difficult question to answer, but having everyday Canadians digest the report and talk to residential-school survivors would be the first step to answering it.

RE: LETTER: PEEVED ABOUT PESTICIDE PROPOSAL:
“The values of a whole com-munity aren’t always reflected in the voice of the few.
“That said, out-of-the-city garden stores are happy to help you bypass the bylaw for a ‘crime’ that isn’t easily enforce-able. Bylaw officers rarely make it up to residential areas except for some lawn-watering reports.”

Editor:I think Coun. Tina
Lange should visit Hillside Cemetery in Sahali in the dandelion season of the year and maybe then she will change her mind on enacting a ban on cosmet-ic pesticides in Kamloops.
We bury our loved ones there with a vision of a park-like resting place for them.
Instead, it looks like a deserted field. The grass is dead in the older area, so I guess city doesn’t go for fertilizing or watering.
So, the weeds have taken over. It is disgusting and upsetting for those left behind.

PROPONENTS NEED TO BUCK UPEditor:
On the weekend, I watched the Children’s Miracle Weekend, which raised $18.8 million for BC Children’s Hospital.
I will be voting “no” in the upcom-ing referendum regarding the bor-rowing of $49 million for the con-struction of a performing-arts centre because I believe the arts community should have to fundraise for the city’s portion and not go to public troughs.
After all, we are forcing hospitals to fundraise for vital lifesaving equip-ment rather than properly funding
them with tax dollars. The priorities of government are
completely screwed up when they force hospitals to use images of seri-ously ill children to raise money.
The government intentionally underfunds hospitals knowing peo-ple will open their purse strings for the more noble cause.
If the performing-arts centre is that great and necessary a project, proponents need to fundraise, just as children of this province must do.

Editor:Traffic on
Overlanders Bridge has been a hot topic of letters to the editor and articles in KTW.
Drivers had to merge onto the bridge before the resurfacing work began.
Most of the
time, drivers were courteous, allow-ing alternate merg-ing of traffic from Tranquille Road.
Perhaps the placement of signs during the con-struction process is confusing.
Why not move the lighted infor-mation sign —
indicating “Use Both Lanes” — up to the traffic light at the intersection of Fortune Drive and Leigh/Fort streets?
Place one merge pictorial sign at the point where the city wants traffic to merge and add an “Alternate Merge, Please” sign.
Ray JonesKamloops
CITY SHOULD SIGN ON TO THIS IDEA
HOW ABOUT HOLDING A DANDELION FESTIVAL?
Editor:Over the years, I have
offered a suggestion to a number of people and organizations, but the idea has always been met with polite disinterest.
Given the recent upsurge in the press devoted to pesticides and dandelions in Kamloops, perhaps the timing is more advantageous this week.
Kamloops could host a dandelion festival.
A committee could investigate all things dan-delion — flower chains,
photographs, books, wine and wine recipes, songs, salads, boiled greens, cos-tumes, a parade, prizes to participants, etc.
Of course, in order to be able to eat or drink the dandelions, there would need to be a ban on using pesticides on those flow-ers and the lawns they call home.
I envision such an event during a farmers’ market day.

The B.C. Liberal government has sus-pended a Ministry of Transportation employee in the wake of an allegation by a former staff mem-ber to minister Todd Stone that emails were secretly deleted.
NDP MLAs pro-duced letters from the former assistant, who says a supervisor deleted emails from his computer to keep them from being con-sidered for a freedom
of information (FOI) request regarding the Highway of Tears in Northern B.C.
Former executive assistant Tim Duncan wrote to B.C. Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Dunham yesterday, saying his supervisor told him to delete a dozen of his emails in November 2014 after an FOI request came to the ministry.
“When I hesitated, he took away my key-board, deleted the emails and returned the keyboard stating, ‘It’s done. Now you
don’t have to worry about it any more’,” Duncan wrote to the privacy commis-sioner.
Stone said based on advice from the public service agency the employee has been suspended with pay until an investiga-tion by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner is complete.
“Bottom line for me is this: I have always expected and continue to expect the staff in my office to follow the rules which are clearly detailed in the rel-evant legislation.”
Stone said the gov-ernment will await the investigation by the privacy commis-sioner.
A history of miss-ing and murdered women along the remote highway from Prince George to Prince Rupert led to a series of community meetings last year.
Opposition critics have been demand-ing records from the meetings, and call-ing for additional bus service along the highway to keep vul-nerable people from hitchhiking.
Confronted with the letter in ques-tion period, Premier Christy Clark said records should not be deleted once an FOI request is made.
Citizens’ Services Minister Amrik Virk said not every email is considered a govern-ment record.
Stone said he intends to have a “frank” discussion with his ministe-rial assistant George Gretes about the accusation that Gretes deleted the emails.
In an email to NDP Leader John Horgan’s office, Duncan acknowledged he had no evidence of the incident or the content of the deleted messages. He said he blew the whistle on the Highway 16 inci-dent because his own father was murdered in a domestic inci-dent in 2010, and he believes the families of missing and mur-dered people “deserve better.”
Duncan was appointed to his job in October 2014.
He told the NDP he left “the cesspool that is the B.C. govern-ment in March” and reported to Denham that he believes abuse of the FOI process is “widespread and most likely systemic within the Clark gov-ernment.”
Transportation Minister Todd Stone said an employee has been suspended with pay until an investigation by the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner is complete. The matter revolves around allegations by a former ministry employee who claims emails were deleted to prevent information in them from being handed over to freedom of information request. Said Stone: “I have always expected and continue to expect the staff in my office to flow the rules which are clearly detailed in the relevant legislation.”KTW FILE PHOTO

This month, KTW is featuring First Nations food in honour of National Aboriginal Day.
The day, held on June 21, celebrates heritage, culture and achievements of
First Nations, Inuit and Métis people in Canada.
KTW reached The Painted Pony Cafe, a downtown restaurant that serves food with an aboriginal flair, for this week’s feature and
it provided a recipe for bannock, a traditional fried bread.
Cook up a batch of golden-brown bannock and serve it sweet or savoury — with jam, sugar or cheese.
WATERMELON FOR THE WIN
I was skeptical, I’ll admit it.
A good beer that really tastes of watermelon didn’t seem
possible.But, it is and Seed
Spitter’s it. This stuff is really
nice as Kamloops creeps into the 30s and I start spending my time in front of the fan whenever I’m in my apartment.
The beer gets a bit of natural sweetness from the watermelon, but mostly captures the slight sharpness of the fruit as you take those last bites closer to the rind, as well as the juicy, refreshing quality of the melon.
There’s a bit of wheat to finish it off, which plays nicely with what comes first, and then you’re done. Wham, bam, simple and super light and very summery.
I tend to hold off on buying six packs because a) who has time to dedicate to six of one beer when there’s so much craft out there? and b) a lot of crafts just get to be too much after a couple of bottles.
This probably won’t last past Monday — at the latest.

Life is good again for Ellijah Jules, Shawna Seymour and Ryan
Raweater.“There’s some kind of
acceptance now,” Jules said of the reality the trio — the remaining core of BOA — has lived with since July 15, 2012.
That was the day Jesse Seymour was killed.
He was the anchor for the band, known then as the Black Out Artists, and
the three of them thought the music had died with him.
It didn’t.“It’s all about growth,”
Jules said. “I’m growing a garden. The music is growing. We’re getting a good loyal following — and the words are just flowing out.”
There have been enough words to cre-ate another EP, A Perfect Accident, the band will be releasing tomorrow night at Bailey’s Pub, 1050 Eighth St., a place he said has become the band’s home base.
“I’m constantly writing and this little project, the
EP, there was more stuff we had that didn’t fit the mould,” he said.
The band is anticipat-ing an Aug. 1 release of a longer CD.
“I’m crazy proud of this,” Jules said. “You know, it’s strange that the [BOA] core, me, Yogo [Raweater’s stage name] and Shawna are still there. But, it’s different now. We’re not clingy. There always used to be a sense of urgency.”
The band faced anoth-er challenge when Jules broke his back but he is now able to walk without canes and is feeling stron-ger every day.
“We have a new sense of purpose and are recording on an almost daily basis,” Jules said.
Most of the work is done at his home, where he’s built an art- and vinyl-filled studio in his basement.
He’s particularly proud of two music-related facts — the band is work-ing with some of the best musicians in the city and they’re all also doing solo acts.
“Sean Luciw produced our CD and Richard Graham’s been here play-ing drums with us,” Jules said. “We’re working with really great people.”
Raweater is creating a country CD and Seymour is performing a lot in Vancouver and working on her own project.
“She’s come out of her cocoon and she’s so but-terfly now,” Jules said.
Raweater is also par-ticularly excited about the show since tomorrow is her birthday.
Also performing are Pistol Pete, Memo, DJ Weezl and Corrosive Dosage and Hazardous.
Tickets are $10 at the door or $8 with a dona-tion for the Kamloops Food Bank.
The report, one among several released yesterday, says the RCMP’s ability to pro-tect Parliament Hill
has been stretched by resource issues stem-ming from budget cuts imposed in 2012 by the Conservative govern-ment.
There were missed opportunities to stop Michael Zehaf Bibeau from entering the Centre Block on Oct. 22, RCMP assistant commissioner Gilles Michaud told a news conference yesterday in Ottawa.
Those missed opportunities were
a result of systemic problems, not human errors, Michaud said.
“There is nobody from our perspective that is to blame for this.”
The RCMP has not disciplined anyone for their actions that day, he added.
The reports pro-vide graphic details of Zehaf Bibeau’s shoot-ing rampage on Oct. 22.
Zehaf Bibeau first shot and killed
Cpl. Nathan Cirillo as he stood guard at the National War Memorial, just off Parliament Hill.
The report said Zehaf Bibeau fired the fatal bullet into Cirillo’s back as the wounded soldier tried to crawl away.
A tourist pushing a baby stroller saw Zehaf Bibeau run onto Parliament Hill and ran to an RCMP officer sitting in a cruiser near the East Block.
The woman tried to get into the back seat of the cruiser, fearing for her life, and delayed the offi-cer long enough that Zehaf Bibeau drove by in a commandeered vehicle.
Michaud said the officer tried to radio others about the gun-man’s presence, but her message was garbled and couldn’t be understood.
The OPP report says Zehaf Bibeau was shot
multiple times when he stormed the Centre Block, with the first bul-lets hitting him seven seconds after he burst through the front door.
The documents say Zehaf Bibeau was felled by 31 bullets, two of which would have been fatal.
The gunman wasn’t wearing body armour — the report says had he been more orga-nized, the incident could have been a great deal worse.
NATIONAL NEWS
Report: Residential school system a ‘cultural genocide’OTTAWA — A long-awaited report on the horrors of Canada’s residential school system calls it nothing short of a “cultural genocide,” mak-ing 94 broad recommenda-tions — everything from greater police independence and reducing the number of aboriginal children in foster care to restrictions on the use of conditional and manda-tory minimum sentences.
The summary of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) report, released Tuesday, is the cul-mination of six emotional years of extensive study into the church-run, government-funded institutions, which operated for more than 120 years.
The exercise has been “a difficult, inspiring and very painful journey for all of us,”
said Justice Murray Sinclair, Canada’s first aboriginal justice and the commission’s chairman.
“The residential school experience is clearly one of the darkest, most troubling chapters in our collective his-tory,” Sinclair told a packed news conference Tuesday in Ottawa.
“In the period from Confederation until the decision to close residential schools was taken in this country in 1969, Canada clearly participated in a peri-od of cultural genocide.”
The scope of the com-mission and its report is staggering. The full report, weighing in at six volumes and thousands of pages, will be released later this year.
Sinclair described how the commission heard from residential school survivors who were robbed of the love of their families.
“They were stripped of their self-respect and they were stripped of their iden-tity. Their stories — more than 6,750 of them in num-ber — will now become part of a permanent historical archive never to be forgotten or ignored.”
Alma Scott was one of thousands of survivors who recounted her experience to the commission. She described being taken to a school in Fort Alexander, Man., at the age of five.
“We gotten taken away by a big truck. I can still remem-ber my mom and dad look-ing at us,” Scott said in her testimony.
“I just remember feeling really sad and I was in this truck full of other kids who were crying, and so I cried with them.”
The commission also listened to the stories of those who worked at or
administered the residential schools. Many of those men and women are still haunted by what they witnessed and filled with regret at having been part of the system, Sinclair said.
“We heard the pain of those charged with the care of those children. We heard of the demons that they face for not being able to care for them properly or to protect them from the abusers.”
The TRC’s summary also makes clear that the expecta-tions of the aboriginal com-munity in the wake of Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s historic apology for the residential-school tragedy in 2008 have not yet been met.
“The promise of recon-ciliation, which seemed so imminent back in 2008 when the prime minister, on behalf of all Canadians, apologized to survivors has faded,” it says. “Without truth, justice
and healing, there can be no genuine reconciliation.”
The TRC report calls on the federal government to launch a national inquiry into the number of missing and murdered aboriginal women. It also goes so far as to recom-mend additional CBC funding, a statutory holiday to honour survivors and an apology from the Pope on behalf of the Roman Catholic Church.
More than 130 residen-tial schools operated across Canada and the federal government has estimated at least 150,000 First Nation, Métis and Inuit students passed through the system. The last school, located out-side of Regina, closed in 1996.
A centre at the University of Manitoba will become the permanent home for all statements, documents and materials gathered by the commission. It is scheduled to open this summer.
Other key recommenda-tions:
• That federal, provincial, territorial and municipal governments fully adopt and implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as the “framework for recon-ciliation”;
• That governments acknowledge the current state of aboriginal health in Canada is “a direct result of previous Canadian govern-ment policies including resi-dential schools”;
• That the federal govern-ment establish a statutory holiday to honour survivors, their families and communi-ties;
• That the federal govern-ment establish a written policy reaffirming indepen-dence of the RCMP to inves-tigate crimes where govern-ment may be an interested party.

Canada ill-prepared for terrorist attack, per OPP reportTHE CANADIAN PRESS
LANGLEY — Police say a 21-year-old man has been charged with murder after a homeless man was found dying on a sidewalk in Langley.
Mounties say they responded to reports of a fight just after 7 p.m. on Monday.
When officers arrived at the scene, they found 37-year-old Wells Gallagher on the ground. He later died.
Police say they arrested a suspect near the scene after a brief foot chase.
Investigators say David Van Den Brink, who is known to police, has now been charged with second-degree murder.
RCMP say Gallagher was well-known in the Langley homeless com-munity and multiple witnesses came forward to provide information to police.

MURDER CHARGE IN DEATH OF LANGLEY HOMELESS MAN
Granting bail to a Canadian teenager charged in a double killing that left his brother dead is too risky given the possibility he could easily flee the United States, a Florida judge ruled yesterday.
In opting to keep 15-year-old Marc Wabafiyebazu behind bars pending trial, Circuit Judge Teresa Pooler also said she couldn’t rely on his mother, Canada’s consul general in Miami, to keep proper tabs on him.
“She was not aware of the amount of time they skipped school,” Pooler said. “She did not know where they obtained guns.”
Roxanne Dube declined to comment after the decision to keep her son incarcerated.
Pooler also said it would be near impossible to extradite the Ottawa teen, who is charged as an adult, should he flee to Canada before a trial that could put him behind bars for life.
For one thing, she said, Canada doesn’t recognize the felony murder charge he faces and might be reluctant to return him given the potential life sentence — which could not happen under the Canada’s young offender system.
“It seems to me it is highly unlikely that the United States would ever be able to bring him back,” the judge said.
Pooler said she found Officer Juan Velez, on whose evidence much of the case against Wabafiyebazu rests, to be cred-ible. Velez has told the court he was driving the accused to a detention centre when the teen spontaneously blurted out a detailed confession.
Wabafiyebazu was arrested March 30 outside an apart-ment in which his 18-year-old brother Jean Wabafiyebazu and another man, Joshua Wright, 17, were shot dead. Two other men, including an alleged drug dealer, were injured.

Sagebrush Theatre was filled with beaucoup de rires and applaud-
issements yesterday as French-immersion stu-dents took part in the 17th annual Festival de théàtre.
The rires (laughs) and applaudissements (applause) were for the primary-grade students from l’ecole Lloyd George and ecole South Sahali who were presenting the produc-tions they’ve spent many weeks learning, rehearsing and perfect-ing.
Lana Blais, the lan-guage co-ordinator for School District 73, said “a ton of work and time has gone into this,” everything from teachers digging out old props that can be reused to parents
designing costumes to others in the French community stepping up to ensure the fes-tival would come off without a hitch.
The event was free, open to the public and involved several pre-sentations.
It began yesterday just after 9 a.m. and wrapped up by 2:30 p.m. — a school day spent showing moth-ers, fathers, grands-mères et grands-pères and anyone else interested in French education in the com-
munity just what they had learned.
Blais, relatively new to the district, she was struck not only by the ease with which the students, all of them in grades 1 to 4, acted, but with the fact the festival has been held
for so long.The day before the
formal presentation, students at l’ecole Lloyd George took their turns in the Pine Street school’s gym to have one more rehearsal.
The room was
abuzz with energy, laughter, music, chat-ter — all the realities that exist when you put several dozen young learners together in an environment filled with fun.
Attention was returned with the series of claps so famil-iar to many parents.
It was eyes forward as their friends worked through their plays, many of them based on fairytales because, Blais said, they are stories that are short, entertaining and famil-iar to the youngsters.
At the end of the performances at Sagebrush, in addition to the proud smiles and applause from family members, the students taking part all received a certificate and a small token of appreciation for the work they have done.
The festival is a key component of French immersion in the district, Blais said, an
education stream that continues to grow.
Blais and others are now addressing ways to ensure students who choose to study in the language will have success, recognizing it can be a challenge in some subjects to learn the basics in a second language.
Blais said the goal is to come up with ways to help those students who may become frustrated and discouraged so they can continue in French immersion with sup-ports to meet their aca-demic challenges.
For the dozens of young actors, however, their day on the stage at Sagebrush wasn’t filled with a single classroom hurdle.
It was a day rempli de fierté et d’accomplissement — and their families, friends and teachers were there to share in those senses of pride and accomplishment.
In a joint presentation by Sa-Hali and Lloyd George elementary schools, Grade 2 students rehearse a scene from the play festival, Trois Petits Cochons (The Three Little Pigs). From left: Aria Chase, Feron Wallace Kate Reid and Grier Langevin play the Chorus.

Jan Bombardier was fortunate.
She wasn’t married to the man when it happened, nor did they have children together.
She didn’t own a house with him, either.So, when she had her brush with
domestic violence — a former partner caused her to literally run for her life, she told KTW — she “just changed the locks on my doors and never let him in again.
“I just think, people who are married with chil-dren — where do they go?” Bombardier said.
The Kamloops realtor knows first-hand how domestic violence changes lives.
“Everything we did, we did together,” she said.“I literally had to carve out a new life for
myself.”It’s why she’s already nearly hit her $5,000
fundraising goal for a trip that will see Royal LePage employees from across the country hike Machu Picchu this summer while raising money for the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, which supports women’s shelters and violence preven-tion programs.
The overall goal of the group is to raise $350,000, with $275,949.05 raised so far by about 50 people who will make the trek in two groups.
Bombardier is the lone Kamloops participant and, as of press time, she had raised $4,220, with another $1,000 expected on the way, she said.
Some of it will be used to help cover travel costs, but participants are expected to pay most of their own way.
Bombardier has been a realtor in Kamloops since 2007 and wanted to join the eight-day trip — one that includes backpacking, tenting, no cell service or hot showers — because she not only loves to hike, but she wanted to contribute back to the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, where her portion of the funds will be going.
“They said they really need a new kitchen,” she said. “The kitchen they have there is really old.”
When KTW reached Bombardier on the phone, she was hitting the stairmaster to sneak in train-ing during a busy real estate season.
She will hike more than 10,000 feet — but she’s not worried about fitness.
“The altitude is usually what will get to you,” she said.
To prevent sickness, there’s medication, flying into Peru early to adjust to it all and, most of all, “you take your time up there,” Bombardier said.
With a couple of months to go before leav-ing in August, she’ll continue training and fundraising — and she’s not stopping at the $5,000 mark.
“I want to raise as much as I can,” she said.To support the fundraising campaign or to
learn more, go online to royallepage.myetap.org/fundraiser/machupicchu/individual.do?participationRef=808.0.796508831.

That changed in 2011, when the Kamloops Ladies of Lacrosse moved off the sidelines and onto the floor.
“It was pretty much just a group of moms whose kids played lacrosse,” said a sweaty Jane Peterson, who spoke to KTW between shifts on Thursday night at the venerable Victoria Street barn. “We want-ed to come out and try it.
“You can come here — maybe your kids and your husband have pissed you off — and you just have a good time.”
Peterson founded the club and, for the first two seasons, which run from March to July, there were between 20 and 25 women playing regularly.
There are now 50 Ladies of Lacrosse swinging the sticks on Thursday nights at Memorial, including goaltender Lianne Milobar.
“It’s just the fun part I like, about get-ting together with a group of ladies and competing,” said Milobar, wiping away perspiration from her cheeks, sporting the bulky equipment so unique to lacrosse netminders.
“I’d say come and give it a try. We have a lot of new players coming out that have never done it before.”
In fact, nearly every member was new to the game when they first joined the Ladies of Lacrosse, or LOL, as they often refer to themselves.
Jim Boomer took on coaching respon-sibilities and can be heard shouting instructions from the bench each week.
“It was like teaching kids again because they’re brand new to the game and their enthusiasm is contagious,” said Boomer, who makes a special effort to teach funda-mentals to newcomers. “I got hooked and have stuck with them.
“It’s been phenomenal. We have hus-
bands and sons come watch them and they make comments like, ‘Oh, my good-ness, that is totally different than when you first started.’”
Stag’s Head Liquor Store stepped for-ward to sponsor the LOL and provided two sets of jerseys, which the ladies wore to their first-ever tournament earlier this year in Port Moody.
“You put your helmet on and you’re somebody else,” Peterson said.
“We’ve had a few girls over time that say, ‘No, this isn’t for me,’ but, if you look out here, you’ll see every age, every ability, every size and every shape.”
Word of mouth seems to bring in the
most new members, with 10 players sign-ing on to play this year.
Females 18 and older are welcome to give it a try, with Peterson looking to attract a few more younger girls, such as standout player Alyssa Reid, who used her pace to get behind defenders on multiple occasions last week.
Carolynn Boomer, Jim’s wife, was among the combatants who took to the floor when KTW was watching from the stands.
With her hair soaking from what she called the “Memorial Arena sauna,” Boomer participated in a post-game inter-view.
“Everybody looks forward to Thursday nights,” said Boomer, whose sons grew up playing minor and junior lacrosse in town.
“There are athletes here and there are girls who have never played on sports teams,” she said.
“The socialization . . . it’s about every-body getting a good workout in and a lot of us are still competitive.”
When the final horn sounded, several women gathered for post-game “Kool-Aid” and others went straight home, spent from a night of running, passing, shoot-ing, saving and scoring.
They will have recovered by now, just in time to do it all again tonight.
“The camaraderie that they have, the friendships that they have and the sports-manship — it’s such an awesome group,” Jim Boomer said.
“If you want to have a lot of fun and get in a really good workout, it’s a friendly atmosphere to learn and I’ll always spend time with the new players right off the bat.”
On the radioTo hear more from the Ladies of
Lacrosse, tune into CBC Radio Kamloops, 94.1 f.m., tomorrow at 7:50 a.m.
Anyone interested in learning more can email Peterson at [email protected] or visit Kamloops Ladies of Lacrosse on Facebook.

From her perch in the glassed-in viewing area at the Tournament Capital Centre, Diane Dodd experiences the ups and downs of her children — quite liter-ally.
As 13-year-old Kristina Dodd and 11-year-old Gavin sail toward the rafters of the Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre, pushing each other to new heights, Diane watches on.
Sometimes, she can’t help but feel excited herself.
“It’s pretty exciting having the two in tram-poline,” Diane said. “It makes it nice having both of them in the same sport.
“Some days, you think you’re only going to sit there for half an hour and then, all of a sudden, two-and-a-half hours later, you’re still sitting there watching.”
The Dodds are among the KGTC’s best.
Last month at the provincial champion-ships, Gavin finished second in the all-around at the national level, while Kristina finished third.
Both will be head-
ing to the Canadian Championships in Calgary in July, along with fellow trampolinist Emily Schmidt.
For Kristina, who switched from artistic gymnastics to tram-poline a few years ago, the progression has been impressive. Just last year, she was in the stands watching Gavin compete at nationals.
This year, she’ll be a fellow competitor.
“I always felt like I should be doing some-thing,” Kristina said, recalling being in the stands in 2014.
“It’s just kind of hard when you see everyone
doing the sport that you love and you can’t do it because you’re not at the same level.”
With both Gavin and Kristina plying their abilities on the tram-poline comes a healthy sibling rivalry.
They push one another to do better — no doubt part of the reason Kristina will be doing more than watch-ing at the Canadian Championships this season.
They help each other, too.
While Gavin is the younger of the two, he is the more experienced trampolinist and can offer his older sister advice and feedback.
Kristina does the same with the tumbling aspect of trampoline, more familiar with many of the skills from
her time in artistic gym-nastics’ floor exercise.
There are, of course, times when the kids bicker like siblings, Diane said, or when disappointment reigns for one child in the face of the accomplishment of another.
But, for the most part, they’re good to each other.
Asked if he ever wor-ries about doing better than his sister, Gavin instead said he’s happy to see Kristina doing well and reaching new heights.
“She always sup-ports me, so I always support her,” he said.
Both Gavin and Kristina are at the gym four days a week, put-ting in 14-and-a-half hours of training time.
Considering the rest of the time they spend together as a part of family life, it would be understandable if the Dodds needed a little space from one another.
But, from her perch in the glassed-in view-ing area, Diane said she has instead watched her kids become closer, a sentiment echoed by Kristina.
“I don’t really get sick of seeing him,” she said of Gavin.
“I like laughing with him and everything. He’s quite fun to be with.”
Kamloops Gymnastics and Trampoline Centre athletes Gavin Dodd and sister Kristina are making names for themselves on the national stage.

NEW YORK — Promptly at 8:45 a.m., American Pharoah got his first view of Belmont Park, the huge 1.5-mile oval on which he will attempt to give horse racing its first Triple Crown winner in 37 years on Saturday.
The cameras clicked as the Kentucky Derby and Preakness win-ner stepped onto the track.
“He’s marching. Look at him marching right out there,’’ trainer Bob Baffert said on a cool Wednesday morning, “And look at his nice coat.’’
With exercise rider Jorge Alvarez aboard, American Pharoah jogged counterclockwise around the track before being walked off and taken back to his stable for a public sponge bath just outside his barn.
“He was pretty strong and we let him jog all the way around,’’ said Baffert, adding he had planned on a shorter jog but called an audible when he saw how good his horse looked on the track. “It was better that way. Otherwise he would have wanted to gallop. He would have been too tough down the stretch. He
looked happy out there. That’s the key, to keep him happy.
“When he’s marching along like that, that’s a good sign.’’
American Pharoah, a winner of his last six races, arrived at Belmont on Tuesday after a flight from Louisville. He won the Derby on May 2 and the Preakness two weeks later and will be running in his fifth race since March 15.
Baffert said the three-year-old colt has maintained his weight, still has a hearty appetite and “the way he feels and the way he’s trained, everything has gone really smooth. I like what I see.’’
At yesterday’s post-position draw, American Pharoah was made the 3-5 favourite when a field of eight was entered. American Pharoah, with Victor Espinoza riding, will leave from the No. 5 gate.
Baffert will take a shot at a Triple Crown for the fourth time.
He finished second twice in the Belmont, with Silver Charm in 1997 and Real Quiet in 1998 and eighth with War Emblem in 2002. Affirmed was the last Triple Crown winner in 1978.

KING JAMES ON TOP OF GAMECLEVELAND — LeBron James listened to a ques-tion he’s been asked in the past and began pro-cessing.
On the eve of his fifth consecutive NBA Final, the four-time league MVP who has carried the Cavaliers within four wins of a championship in his homecoming sea-son, James appears to be
playing the best ball of his life.
Others have said so, some insisting they’ve never seen anyone — at least no one this side of Michael Jordan — per-form at such a high level.
James has been mag-nificent in these play-offs. Clutch. Focused. Confident.
But, does the 30-year-old believe he’s at the pinnacle of his 12-year career?
“I think if you put it
all together, yeah,’’ he said. “If you put every-thing together as far as my mind, my body, my game. If you put every-thing in one bottle, this is probably the best I’ve been.’’
King James has spo-ken.
Although he has jumped higher, scored more, shot for a higher percentage and had bigger statistical games in nine previous post-seasons, James has
taken his game to new boundaries, the outer limits as he prepares to take on the Golden State Warriors.
Game 1 gets under-way tonight at 6 p.m. in Oakland.
“Even in the past, mentally I just wasn’t who I am today,’’ he said. “My mind, my hard drive, wasn’t as big. I’m able to handle a lot of situations that I wasn’t able to handle at 24 and 25 years old.”

“Sex sells” has long been a popular tenet in advertising.
And, sex appeal has typically made it easier to sell cars.
The movie industry has always favoured convertibles for leading men and women, be they Carey Grant, Sophia Loren, Grace Kelly, Kevin Costner or Susan Sarandon.
Virtually any car becomes sexy when you chop the top, but I did
say “virtually”. These five cars resist the glamour and glitz that often come with convertibles.
1985 to 1987 AMC Alliance Convertible
Built in the United States using a 1.7-litre engine and transmis-sion from Renault, the Alliance was very much French in feeling.
It was small, mundane in appearance and less than com-petitive against the best from Volkswagen, Toyota and Honda.
A good measure of its appeal,
then, is its collectability and desirability now, which is nil.
1989 Yugo CabrioletThe formula for the Yugo was
simple — and it was laughable. Buy a 20-year-old-design of a highly rust-prone Italian econo-my car, barely update it and ship it to America by the thousands. At first, people will buy a product that is vastly cheaper than the competition but, once the public finds out it is slow, unattractive, outdated, uncomfortable and minimally reliable, the charm
leaves in a hurry.Did a convertible version help
the image and dramatically boost the sales?
Again, the answer is “not real-ly” — a response that was rein-forced by a price that was double the cost of the GV Plus hatchback, which had gained fuel injection and six horsepower.
1960-1963 Studebaker Lark VI Convertible
Solid, sensible and reliable all summed up Studebaker’s Lark.
It was a good car without flash or panache, which had limited appeal to car-mad teens.
There’s no question that lower-ing the top on the Lark made for a pleasant experience, but it didn’t change the status of this car from dud to stud when it came to sex appeal.
1908 to 1927 Model T FordFord’s Tin Lizzie has always
been rugged, reliable and in a class of its own.
But sexy? Not likely.

Sensibility trumps car’s sex appeal
The roadster or touring car versions may be fun, simply because fun goes with open-air motoring like peanut but-ter goes with jelly.
Sex appeal, though, simply isn’t part of the equation with this American icon, though the story would be differ-ent if we were talking about a 1940 Ford Convertible Coupe.
1961 to 1963 Rambler AmericanThe Rambler had to be one of
the most sensible cars built in North America: properly engineered to conservative standards with incredibly reliable straight-six engines and pricing within reach of middle-class budgets.
In appearance and performance, the new drop-top was essentially an open-air version of an orthopedic shoe. You know, the kind of shoe that Marilyn Monroe or Angelina Jolie would avoid like the plague.
Even spraying pheromones on this car wouldn’t give it an ounce of sex appeal.

JAMES (JIM) EDWARD FRID It is with great sadness that we announce the passing, of our beloved husband, father, father-in-law, ‘Boppa,’ brother, brother-in-law, and friend James (Jim) Edward Frid on May 9, 2015. Jim was born on September 11, 1944, in Vancouver and spent long periods of his life in Golden and Kamloops, British Columbia.
Jim worked as a professional driver. In his early years, he drove logging and fuel trucks; more recently, he drove school buses. He took great pride in doing every job he ever had to the best of his ability and was always devoted to his travellers.
Although Jim had many passions, he particularly enjoyed gardening, golfing, playing guitar, singing and following hockey. He cherished spending time with and caring for his furry loved ones, especially Elvis of late. He treasured the memories from his many trips to Mexico.
Jim lived with joy and loved his family. His sense of humour, quick wit, resiliency and optimism in the face of hardship and ability to make friends with all types of people will forever be an inspiration.
Jim is survived by many family members and friends – you all know who you are. We sincerely appreciate the support and care that has been extended by so many over the years, especially during this difficult time. At Jim’s request, there will be no memorial service. Instead, Jim would be delighted if you take pause, give thanks for what you have, and bring a smile and some laughter to someone’s life.
In lieu of flowers, donations in Jim’s memory may be made to the Cancer Society, Kamloops branch.
LORNA MAY BARNHARDT(NEE AUSTIN)May 2, 1920 - May 8, 2015
Lorna, the longest-glowing light of our lives, died at the Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops on May 8th. She was ninety-five. The daughter of North Shuswap pioneers, Bert and Lulu Austin, in 1920, Lulu travelled from their homestead by carriage, boat, and train to the Salmon Arm Hospital to give birth to Lorna.
Lorna attended the one-room schoolhouse at Magna Bay until she was a teenager when she boarded in Kamloops, she was trained as a secretary at St. Ann’s Academy. These skills led to jobs in Kamloops, Vancouver, and Ottawa, yet even as she stretched her wings her heart remained at Magna Bay. In 1946 Lorna met and married the love of her life, Alan Bertrand
Barnhardt, a paratrooper returning from war. They had three children a son and twin daughters, after living in Vancouver for a couple of years they settled on a corner of family property at Magna Bay.
The tragic death of Alan eight years after they were married propelled Lorna back into the workforce and the family moved to the Agricultural Research Station near Kamloops. Lorna served as the secretary for the research scientists. Twelve years later, with the kids grown and gone, she fulfilled her dream of returning to Magna Bay. There she gained employment as a secretary for Anglemont Estates where she worked until retirement. She also became active in the Historical Society and contributed stories to the Shuswap Chronicles. Lorna, a life-long nature lover joined the Naturalists and also became a member of St. David’s Church where she volunteered in the downstairs Thrift Shop. At home she loved to garden, cook, knit, read, and play the piano.
Lorna spent her last seven years in Chase, first in a cozy house, followed by her final seven months in assisted living in Parkside, where she continued to light up people’s lives. The family extends a big bouquet of THANK YOU’S to the whole Parkside staff for their wonderful care.
Beautiful both inside and out, Lorna was known for her kindness, her humour, her humility, and her generosity. Family meant everything to her. She will be missed so much by her brother Don (Ruth), her son Tom (Carol), daughters Donna (Rick) and Deanna (Eric), plus grandchildren Dorian, Tennessee, Isaac, Annonay, Galen, Natalia and Kyle; and great-grandchildren Wyatt, Rylen, Kale, Kyran, and Rhys, not to mention a myriad of extended family and friends.
A Celebration of Life for Lorna will be held at the North Shuswap Community Hall on the Squilax-Anglemont Road in Celista on September 5th from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm.
Mom, wherever you are, we all hope it’s an easy stroll for the bucket of water you always loved to fetch from Shuswap Lake.

Dave’s brothers from another mother, Ken and Gerry, spent many miles and laughter together.
Dave often carried us, and we will now carry him, in our hearts, forever. We love you, Dad.
Dave rallied at the end to see his son, Tom, and was surrounded by the rest of his family when he went on to his next adventure, thanks, Deb.

Dave often carried us, and we will now carry him, in our hearts, forever. We love you, Dad.
Dave rallied at the end to see his son, Tom, and was surrounded by the rest of his family when he went on to his next adventure, thanks, Deb.
Donations in Dave’s memory may be made to the BC Children’s Hospital, or the Canadian Cancer Society.
A Celebration of Dave’s Life will be held at 11:00 am on June 6, 2015, in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel. A lunch to follow at Deb and Lyle Gitzel’s home; special thanks to Deb and Lyle Gitzel, and the Gitzel family.

RUTH SMALLNovember 18, 1920 - May 24, 2015
It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Ruth Small on Sunday, May 24, 2015 at Kamloops Seniors Village.
Ruth was born in Cabri, Saskatchewan, one of seven children of Wesley and Myrtle Lyster. She completed her education in Cabri and eventually moved to Kamloops to join her future husband and his parents and to work in their small grocery store. She married Charles Edward Small and they lived in Kamloops for most of her 94 years.
Ruth was a spiritual person. She loved God and did her best to live by the teachings of Jesus. Her beliefs gave her great comfort throughout her life.
Ruth worked as a retail clerk and as a partner in several small businesses owned by family but her lifelong career was being a mother. She cared for her own mother as she aged, raised her own two children, Pat and Heather, and continued as mother to her grandson, Guy. A lifetime of loving and caring for those closest to her. She enjoyed travelling with family, taking delight in seeing forest animals and sharing those occasions with her grandchildren.
In her later years Ruth enjoyed simple pleasures; reading her bible, walking in the park, watching young children play, visiting with her daughter or her grandchildren, attending the theatre, taking a car ride to someplace new or chatting with friends.
She was predeceased by her parents, Wesley and Myrtle Lyster, husband Ed, son Pat, brothers Hugh, Tom and Bob and sisters Noreen and Grace.
Left to mourn her passing is her daughter Heather Poulin, her brother Pat Lyster (Rilla), grandsons Guy Poulin and Michael Small (Kathy), granddaughter Tara McElroy (Shawn), great-grandchildren Megan and Justin McElroy, daughter-in-law Connie Gellatly (Jim), close friend Maureen Simpson and several prairie nieces and nephews. We will miss her every day.
Ruth received exceptional care at Kamloops Seniors Village where she was appreciated for her quiet, gentle and friendly manner.
A Graveside Service will be held on Monday, June 8th at Hillside Cemetery at 11:00 am with Reverend Bruce Comrie officiating.

REMEMBERRemember me
when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can go no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
