INSIDE KTW PERFORMINGARTS CENTRE PROPOSAL WOULD COST $90 MILLIONREPORT PEGS FORMER KAMLOOPS DAILY NEWS PROPERTY AS PREFERRED SITE;

LOOKS TO 1% PROPERTYTAX HIKE OVER TWO YEARS AS FUNDING SOURCE

Kamloops’ new performing-arts centre would boast a 1,200-seat theatre, a 350-seat black-box theatre, 350 parking stalls and an $90-million price tag.

But, Mayor Peter Milobar and city staff told the public last night at Interior Savings Centre, building the new facility on the former site of the Kamloops Daily News would require only a one per cent tax hike in 2016 and another one per cent increase in 2017.

Should it pass a referendum later this year, construction would begin in 2018, with an opening date in 2020.

Milobar said he does expect some sticker shock — as Coun. Donovan Cavers put it to media earlier this week — from the public, but doesn’t think the overall price is insur-mountable.

“When they see that it’s only one per cent a year for two years and you not only achieve the theatre, you also achieve 350 parking stalls for daytime usage in downtown Kamloops, I think that a lot of people will see that it’s not necessarily a wild and crazy concept,” he said.

While the city considered Thompson Rivers University and the soon-to-be-vacant Lake City Casino space at Hotel 540 on Victoria Street as potential sites, Milobar said the city preferred to keep the centre downtown, which ruled out TRU early on.

Of the two remaining options, Hotel 540 was slightly larger. But, Milobar said, the L-shape of the vacant property on the hotel site made it difficult to lay out the various components the centre would require.

“You’d have two lobbies. The way the black box would have to wrap around the build-ing, it just doesn’t have the efficiency of flow,” he said. “And then you’d have to have 14,000 square feet of the old casino space be theatre space — and now you’re engrained in an older building.”

It also would have cost more.Early estimates put the price tag at Hotel

540 over $102 million and Milobar said it was unlikely the hotel would have brought money to the table for the project.

“I think as they started to move through it, they realized they didn’t necessarily want to be a theatre operator either,” he said.

“So, by the end of it, it was down to what would it cost us to purchase your land?”

The city does not yet have full renderings of the gallery in the Daily News space — coun-cil made its decision to move ahead with the site just two weeks ago — instead focusing on rough square footages for various spaces within the 97,600 square-foot building.

Included in the plans are an 80-foot fly tower and orchestra pit for the main stage theatre, retractable seats in the studio theatre, archival space for the Kamloops Arts Gallery, meeting rooms and three streetfront artists’ studios.

The building would also include 3,300 square feet of rehearsal space and a commer-

cial space for a coffee shop or restaurant.Parking would be provided on two levels

underground. Of the individual components, it’s the most expensive, adding about $25 mil-lion on to the total cost.

To pay for the centre, the city would create a reserve fund of new property taxes (which would bring in $950,000 the first year and $1.9 million each year thereafter), federal and provincial gambling and gas-tax money and revenue from its downtown parking kiosks.

Milobar said by the end of construction in 2020, when the city will have to begin servic-ing its debt for the project, the city would have about $25.5 million in reserves.

It’s also hoping to secure another $10 mil-lion through federal and provincial grants and a naming-rights deal.

Once the building opens, Milobar said its $900,000 operating cost and annual debt pay-ments would be covered using the $1.9 mil-lion per year in taxes, about $2 million a year in gambling and gas tax funds, as well as cash from both the arts-centre parkade and on-street parking downtown.

While the project relies on substantial federal and provincial infrastructure dollars, Milobar said the city still has enough money to cover the capital upgrades on the books.

“All the work we’ve been planning in doing over the next five years will not be under-mined,” he said.

While city council has discussed the report, it has yet to have a full debate on the funding strategy, which Milobar said could be changed if councillors want to be more aggressive in how dollars are allocated.

The city could also end up with more gam-bling funds to put to the project if the new Cascades Casino, which opens this summer in Versatile, brings in the increased revenues expected.

The full report on the arts centre is online today. The city will take questions and feed-back on the plan at an April 18 meeting at ISC, from 10 a.m. to noon.

Milobar said there is still much work to be done.

“It’s not like we’re going to a referendum on Tuesday,” he said.

“This is the first stage of really engaging that public commentary around is this some-thing people are comfortable seeing.”

Discussion of a performing-arts centre began in 2013 with an open house at which residents were invited to jot down their vision of what a facility would include. Last night, the City of Kamloops released the preliminary report into construction of such a centre.

The Creation

LOCAL NEWS

A five-month over-haul of the Overlanders Bridge will begin on Monday, April 20.

Public works direc-tor Jen Fretz said work will begin on the western sidewalk of the bridge, as well as on the westernmost southbound lane, with

the other three lanes remaining open to traf-fic at the beginning of the construction period.

At the same time, Tranquille Road over-pass leading to the Tranquille Market in North Kamloops will close for an estimated four weeks.

Fretz said the first leg of construction will not affect entrances

and exits on the south side of the bridge.

“I don’t want people to think you can’t get onto the bridge from Tranquille Road or you can’t get off onto Victoria,” she said. “All entrance and exits heading south will still be in tact.”

While the city had originally sug-gested its contractor would tackle paving

work on the bridge’s approach roads first, capital-projects man-ager Darren Crundwell noted Innovative Civil Constructors said in negotiations it would prefer to do some work on the bridge first, so it can assess what materi-als it will need to order early in the project.

Crundwell said the new construction order will also allow the

contractor to do all the work on the western-most side of the bridge at once.

The city is holding off on closing any more lanes of traffic until after

the CFJC-TV Boogie the Bridge run on April 26, but may shut down a second lane after the annual event.

Full construction on the bridge, which

includes a deck repair and resurfacing, is estimated to last until October.

The total budget for the Overlanders project is $10.3 million.

OVERLANDERS BRIDGE PROJECT TO BEGIN APRIL 20ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF [email protected]

University student charged

An international student at Thompson Rivers University is facing criminal charges following an alleged domestic incident this week.

Court documents show Himanshu Krishna Sonah was arrested following an altercation on Tuesday.

The 20-year-old from Mauritius — an island nation in the Indian Ocean about 2,000 kilometres off the southeast coast of Africa — was charged the following day with uttering threats and released on bail.

The alleged victim is also an international student.

Sonah is slated to make his first appearance in Kamloops provin-cial court on April 27.

He is the third TRU interna-

tional student to be charged crimi-nally in 2015.

Last month, a Russian business student was charged with assault causing bodily harm after alleg-edly assaulting his girlfriend over a period of two hours in the off-campus apartment they shared.

Vladislav Arnautov was granted bail, but then arrested on an immigration warrant. He has since been released.

Also in March, Kings Chukwuemeka Odemena, a 30-year-old Nigerian student, was charged with sexual assault.

Last year, two international students were convicted of sepa-rate violent crimes in Kamloops courtrooms.

Ravi Chaudhary, from India, drunkenly assaulted a woman outside a downtown apartment building and was given a condi-tional discharge, partially so he could have a better chance of

staying in Canada after graduating from TRU.

Kudzai Mujuru, from Zimbabwe, beat up two men in separate incidents — one in 2012 and the other in 2013. He was ordered to pay $1,000 in fines and $10,000 in dental costs for one of his victims.

In November 2013, Yousef Mohammed Almotairi, an interna-tional student from Saudi Arabia, was jailed for six months for nearly killing a fellow international student by jamming a pool cue through his eye and into his brain during a 2012 fight inside a down-town Kamloops bar.

The victim of that attack, Abdulaziz Alhedaib, was charged last year with assault with a weap-on and possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose following an incident involving a woman.

Those charges were stayed by the Crown a month later.

GOLF COURSE BREAK AND ENTER

PRIVATE LIQUOR STORE ROBBED

K A M LO O P S C r i m e S t o p p e r s W A N T E D

The early morning of Tuesday April 7th at approximately 2am an alarm was activated at the Rivershore Golf Course. Suspects broke through an outside wall and entered into the building, there was an attempt to cover up the motion detector. It was obvious, that something set the alarm o� and scared the suspects from the

building. There were several golf clubs that were taped up and were stacked, there was even an attempt to break into the safe but that failed as well. The suspect would have needed a vehicle to get to the golf course and someone may have seen a vehicle departing the area. The evidence let behind will be very useful to help convict

these suspects. If anyone has any information

on this break and enter or may have seen a vehicle in the area of Rivershore Golf Course, early in the morning, please call Crime Stoppers, you do not have to go to court or give a statement.

On Tuesday April 7th at approximately 8:00 pm the Starters Liquor Store on the 3000 block of Westsyde rd. was robbed by alone male. The male entered the liquor store and threatened the clerk with an unknown weapon only described as a pointed tool. The clerk turned over a small amount of cash and the suspect

�ed the store. The suspect had a black mask over his face and is described as 5 foot 4 inches tall, stocky build, he was wearing a grey hoodie and had blue jeans on. Westsyde rd. is a very busy road someone may have been driving or walking in the area and saw someone running from the store and seemed unusual. Although the face of

the suspect was covered, this suspect may have talked to someone about the crime he had committed. If you have any information on this robbery, contact Crime Stoppers, you will remain anonymous and will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of the suspect

www.kamloopscrimestoppers.ca

THEFT OF DIRT BIKES FROM CHASESometime overnight on April

Sunday 5th, two dirt bikes were stolen from a residence on Jack Trotter Drive in Celista BC, the bikes were chained together on the property. The suspects cut the wire lock that went through the back tires of the bikes, then rolled the dirt bikes away from the property, to a waiting vehicle. The dirt bikes are described as an orange and black KTM 350 XCWF-W and a green Kawasaki KX 100, the total of the theft was $16,000. Although the dirt bikes were locked the bike will have to be placed out of sight, to prevent these thieves from taking the bikes. It is a very good possibility these suspects had been driving in the area looking at the various properties and items to steal. If you had noticed any suspicious vehicles or people in the area or may know where the dirt bikes are, contact Chase RCMP, if you want to remain anonymous. Contact Crime stoppers only your information will be used never your name.

CRIMES OF THE WEEK

If you know where any of these people are, call Crime Stoppersat 1-800-222-TIPS (8477). The tip line pays up to $2,000 for information

leading to the arrest of fugitives. Remember, Crime Stoppers just wants your information, not your name. Crime doesn’t pay, but Crime Stoppers does.

This program is jointly sponsored by Kamloops Crime Stoppers & Kamloops This Week. People featured are wanted on arrest warrants not vacated as of 3 p.m. on March 18, 2015.

When the school year ends for Rob and Andrew Hood, the father and son plan to go on a bike ride —a long bike ride.

They will cycle from Vancouver to Halifax on a journey to honour their daughter and sister, Maddie, who was killed in 2013.

Rob, interim dean of the faculty of adventure, culinary arts and tour-ism at Thompson Rivers University, and Andrew, soon to graduate from TRU’s visual-arts program, have never embarked on a project like this.

However, Rob is confident they will complete the 6,100-plus-kilometre trip.

“I’ve got the mental toughness and Andrew has the physical toughness, so I’m sure we’ll work our way through it.

“We’re calling it Ridin’ with Maddie because we’re riding on her vision for the world and we’re riding with her spirit with us,” Rob said.

Maddie was 19 when she was mur-dered. She was working at the United Way in St. Catharines, Ont., when she was killed.

Rob said the job had inspired his daughter, who loved the work she was doing, which fit with her goal to do things to make the world a better place.

After Maddie’s death, her colleagues at the St. Catharines United Way start-ed a fund — one that quickly grew to more than $15,000 — to be used to give other young people work experience with a non-profit.

The first year, the opportunity was in the Ontario city.

Last year, Rob wanted to bring it to Kamloops.

Brenda Aynsley, executive director of the United Way of the Thompson-Nicola-Cariboo, said Hood’s initiative allowed her to keep the organization’s summer student, Michelle Davies, into the fall.

Aynsley said a website will be avail-able online for donations to support the Hoods’ project, one that will work much like KTW’s Christmas Cheer campaign, with tax receipts issued once a donation is received.

Although the Hoods haven’t set a goal, Aynsley will be talking about it at an upcoming conference of United Way organizations.

Rob said any money raised will be used to continue providing work expe-riences.

There is also a Facebook page — search Ridin’ with Maddie — on which Rob and Andrew will be posting updates. Rob said he expects his son will be busier on social media, telling people about the journey.

The trip starts on May 18 in Vancouver ,with a goal to make it to Halifax — where Hood lived before moving to Kamloops — early in August.

They expect to be in Kamloops by May 21.

The pair will have some support along the way from friends and gradu-ates from Rob’s program but, other-wise, it will be father and son and two new touring bikes.

There will be a quick flight back to Kamloops on June 10 for Andrew’s con-vocation, then they’ll be back on the road, riding with Maddie.

RIDIN’ WITH MADDIE

LOCAL NEWS

The estimated half-billion dollars that will be spent by this country bombing ISIL should be directed to humanitarian aid that would also assist Iraqi and Kurdish authori-ties on the ground, said the NDP’s house leader.

MP Peter Julian was in Kamloops yesterday as a guest at a fund-raiser for local New Democrat candidate Bill Sundhu.

The visit comes a day after the first RCAF CF-18s made a bomb-ing run into Syria. That follows a Conservative government move to

expand the mission beyond Iraq’s borders into Syria.

Critics warn the move will strengthen the brutal hand of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.

“The real concern we raised in Parliament is the lack of humani-tarian aid,” Julian said in an interview.

Kurds and Iraqi governments “are struggling to deal with this alarming load of refugees.”

Directing humani-tarian support along with military mine-sweeping technology, for example, would assist in the fight against ISIS while also addressing human need.

Back home, the NDP is turning atten-tion to October’s fed-eral election, where Julian said the party has a goal and a strong chance of taking this riding.

The Kamloops rid-ing has not been repre-sented by the NDP for 15 years.

Four years ago, Conservative MP Cathy McLeod won by nearly 10,000 votes.

“I know Bill [Sundhu] is attract-ing new folks, some of whom have never been involved in a campaign before.”

Julian called Sundhu, a lawyer and former judge born in the Interior, a star can-didate for the party.

A B.C. Supreme Court jus-tice has sentenced an offender with a criminal record going back nearly 40 years to more than a year in jail for delivering crack cocaine to undercover Mounties.

John Clark, 53, pleaded guilty on April 2 to trafficking in cocaine. He admitted to deliv-ering about $80 worth of the drug twice on successive days in November 2013.

Defence lawyer Ken Sommerfeld said the dial-a-dope operation was actually being operated by “Tanya,” an

acquaintance of Clark’s. Clark did not answer the

phone on the first occasion, but met undercover police and sold $40 worth of crack.

He sold police a similar amount a few hours later.

“He has that weakness and makes that delivery,” Sommerfeld said. “It’s not in any sense his operation.”

B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley agreed with a sub-mission by Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi, who recom-mended a 15-month sentence.

Clark has criminal convic-tions going back to 1977 but also has significant gaps in his record.

He was given credit for time spent in remand, giving him four more months to serve on the sentence.

He was on probation at the time he sold drugs to police.

Sommerfeld said Clark has worked as a driver.

He recently qualified for a provincial disability pension, something that will double his social assistance.

Sommerfeld said Clark’s goal is to stop his drug addic-tion.

“This would be a break-through for him at this age,” Sommerfeld said.

Dley also levied a lifetime firearms ban.

Hillside to get reviewHillside Centre in Kamloops is one of four psy-

chiatric facilities in the province that will be sub-ject to a hard look in the coming weeks due to the number of violent episodes at the facility.

Gayle Duteil, president of the B.C. Nurses’ union, said negotiations with the health minis-try has led to a plan to gather information from the facility adjacent to Royal Inland Hospital, along with psychiatric centres in Port Coquitlam, Victoria and Abbotsford, to address the problem.

“Violence should not be considered part of anyone’s job,” Duteil said, adding meetings with front-line workers will happen soon.

She said Health Minister Terry Lake has com-mitted funds to pay for the initial work, with an plan to expand the project to eight other facilities in a second phase. Duteil said the ministry has

also committed to considering all solutions the union proposes.

Hillside has reported ongoing incidences of violence toward nursing staff, with the union saying in late 2013 six nurses had left the facility because they didn’t feel safe.

Among reported incidents was a nurse attacked by a man who was told to wait for toast. It took the efforts of eight other staff members to get the man off the nurse.

While the potential for violent confrontations exists because patients have psychiatric issues, Duteil said there are safeguard and procedures that can be put into place to reduce their poten-tial.

“Many violent attacks could be prevented by increasing safety officers, providing personal alarms, specialized training and appropriate staff-ing for patients’ care needs, especially those who are aggressive or violent,” she said.


A call for more independence

As many as 15 per cent of B.C. seniors in residential care could have more inde-pendence with assisted living or community care support, according to B.C.’s Seniors’ Advocate.

Seniors’ Advocate Isobel Mackenzie also compared sta-tistics for B.C. seniors in home and residential care with those in Alberta and Ontario, finding B.C. patients are prescribed more anti-psychotic drugs and receive less physiotherapy and recreation therapy than other provinces.

Mackenzie said the poten-tial overuse of residential care is “troubling on a couple of

fronts” with the shortage of residential care beds for high-needs seniors.

“Most seniors would prefer to live independently than in residential care and so we want to ensure all supports and alternative living arrangements are exhausted before we move someone to residential care,” Mackenzie said.

“If we are filling even five per cent of these scarce beds with folks who could live inde-pendently, that is 1,500 beds that could open up province-wide.”

Health Minister Terry Lake said the ministry is aware of the problems highlighted by the report and is putting more resources toward home care and community health servic-

es, with spending up $1.2 bil-lion to $2.8 billion since 2001.

Lake said B.C. has two pro-grams underway to deal with overprescription of medica-tions in care facilities.

One is a training program for staff to more accurately determine psychiatric signs and the other is working with doctors and pharmacists to find behavioural alternatives to anti-psychotic drugs.

Mackenzie’s review is based on assessment surveys given to B.C.’s 25,000 seniors in resi-dential care and 29,000 home-care clients. It found one-third of residential care patients are being prescribed antipsychotic medication, but only four per cent have been diagnosed with a psychiatric disorder.

British Columbia’s liquor laws have long been known for their mind-warping complexity and for

regulations that seemed to be created by someone deep in a glass or three of the very prod-uct being regulated.

There were the days when the size of televisions in pubs was regulated, as were dancing and singing. There seemed to be a sub-licence for every main licence, governing everything from whether a stage could be installed to whether a meat draw constituted gambling activity.

It was ridiculous and the provincial government should be commended in its attempt to simplify such a spastic system.

However, the current overhaul of liquor regulations has thus far resulted in scenarios that rival the confusion of the past.

This newspaper published a story last week, in conjunction with the April 1 date on which government liquor stores intro-duced new pricing, rolled out new hours and began the process of refrigerating booze. April 1 was also the date on which grocery stores could apply via auction to sell B.C wine on their shelves.

For those grocery stores wish-ing to sell B.C. wine — sorry, no Yellowtail allowed — there is no pesky one-kilometre rule, though there is a limited number of wine-on-shelf licences available.

How many?Our man in government com-

munications didn’t know.And, while they will be award-

ed via auction (meaning the wealthier grocery-store owners

will win because these licences, much like lucrative dairy quotas, will become almost priceless), neither our man in government communications, nor anybody else, seems to know how or when the auction process will work.

So, in trying to simplify liquor laws, the government has thus far proved it can muddy the waters as well as any previous adminis-tration.

While grocery stores that pay the most will be able to sell B.C. wine (pending an expected chal-lenge from U.S. wine-makers under NAFTA and other trade agreements), grocery stores that wish to take advantage of the new “store-within-a-store” booze-selling model won’t be able to do so in Kamloops.

Private liquor stores and stores within a store cannot operate within one kilometre of another liquor store, public or private.

In Kamloops, that means virtually every grocery store is prohibited from selling liquor (aside from only B.C. wine) since virtually every grocery store in Kamloops is within that one-

kilometre radius.Of course, private liquor-store

licences can be transferred, but the proximity of government liquor stores and other private stores to the city’s main grocery stores prohibit such moves.

Again, for a policy meant to move B.C.’s liquor policy forward, it does little to change anything.

Then there are two boon-doggles, the formulation of which boggles the mind: happy hour and pricing at government liquor stores.

This being bizarre B.C., the provincial government actually managed to increase prices via its ludicrous minimum pricing rule, which imposes the lowest price a pint of beer ($5), a pitcher of beer ($12), a bottle of beer ($3), a five-ounce glass of wine ($3) or a one-ounce highball ($3) can be sold.

As for the pricing change at government liquor stores, it remains a mystery how the B.C. Liberals could try to spin it as a positive, but try they did.

Previously, the price custom-ers saw on the shelf was the total price, taxes included, of the liquor (minus an insignificant deposit fee).

It was clear and honest.The new, “improved” system

has regressed, with the shelf prices no longer including the 15 per cent tax.

Government blames the change on new software, but the reason is obvious — Victoria wants to fool consumers by having lower sticker prices on shelves.

The confusion is enough to drive a man to drink — which may be the point of it all.

VIEWPOINT

Liquor policy remains bizarre

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK

Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: B.C. Supreme Court Justice Terrence Schultes, who earlier this week told Crown and defence lawyers he needs to be convinced a man who defrauded a Clinton senior of $21,000 shouldn’t serve a federal prison sentence of more than two years. Both Crown and defence were content in having fraudster Darren Sidwell serve no jail time. Kudos to Schultes for demanding justification.

It boggles the mind that punishment for theft of $21,000 can be lighter than that handed out to unarmed bank robbers who routinely flee with chump change.

NOT: Those truck driver who are too lazy to properly dispose of their urine.

As outlined in a KTW story last week, the ditch next to the inspection station on the Coquihalla Highway, just west of Kamloops, is littered with what are known as “piss jugs.”

They are containers — plastic and glass — into which truckers relieve themselves while on the road.

When their jugs runneth over, many truckers decide to simply toss the urine-filled receptacles out the window, rather than use nearby garbage bins.

For those who defended the practice online, declaring the litter-ing of piss jugs as “the way of the road,” may a bladder infection visit them soon.

HOT: The playoff race in the National Hockey League. With the final weekend of games before us, there are still teams fighting for wildcard spots.

And, now that the Vancouver Canucks have clinched a post-season berth, local pubs should be enjoying a busier spring than in 2014.

“We do not need a arts centre. We understand there is some hope for possible provincial and federal grants to help pay for this building, parking spaces and commercial spaces.

“But, nothing is for sure. “Meanwhile, rumours are

running rampant there will be 1,200 seats in this building.

“One would have to wonder how much each seat will cost the homeowner as they pay their property taxes —especially important to consider if our tax base is limited. Who is going to make up for the shortfall?”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor:I do not accept the conclusion the death

of Heather Carr is the result of a pagan ritual gone horribly wrong.

Did anyone else notice her death came on the same day the trailer in Merritt in which the three Schoenborn children were brutally murdered was, after seven long years, razed?

The relief of Merritt residents on that day, April 2, was palpable — even in Kamloops.

I worked as a child-protection social worker.

I felt the work to be important, rewarding and indescribably stressful, such that, when

offered the opportunity for voluntary depar-ture, I took it.

I reasoned that, while I could — and did — buy back my pension, I could not buy back my health.

I never met Heather Carr.Her death, and learning subsequently that

she had responsibility for the Schoenborn files, saddens me deeply.

It does not surprise me that she went on stress leave following the murders, and even-tually onto long-term disability.

I can only imagine the anguish that she might have felt.

The fact is, determining risk to children is a difficult and inexact venture.

The tools a social worker has to use are unreliable, the outcomes of intervention are unpredictable and meaningful support for frontline child-protection workers is virtually nonexistent.

I believe Carr became another victim of a mentally disordered man by the name of Allan Schoenborn.

Lindsay Lord brings plenty of skills to her new position as chief executive officer of the John Howard Society in Kamloops.

A trained social worker, Lord spent several years as a clini-cal co-ordinator in the Alberta health-care sys-tem, a job that saw her using her skills in evalu-ating clinical evidence and best practices.

While living in Alberta, Lord also added to her work experience with the John Howard Society and the projects it pursues.

Missing Kamloops, however, the lure of the River City drew Lord back.

She took a job with

Community Living B.C., where the technical term for what she did was contract manage-ment, but the reality was she helped adults with special needs find hous-ing and independence.

Through that employment, Lord developed strong con-tacts with the many funding partners in the province.

Add to that a drive to see more affordable housing in the city and it’s a package the board of the local John Howard Society branch picked when looking for a successor to longtime CEO Dawn Hrycun.

It didn’t hurt that Lord was already up-to-speed on the projects

begun, the buildings housing people, the long-term plans the board has, the vision of the society — she is the daughter of her prede-cessor.

That side of her experience showed her how the city’s John Howard Society was on the forefront of working with populations that have multiple barriers, looking at each person as an individual and figuring out what their needs are, Lord said.

Ann Stoughton, head of the society board, said she knew there would be allegations of nepotism with Lord’s hiring, but added the reality was a national campaign that took

several months and received many applica-tions ended up with a short list that included Lord.

It wasn’t until that list came to the board that she realized who one of the applicants was, Stoughton said, noting Lord’s qualifi-cations outshone the others.

“We knew it would be controversial, but Lindsay was the most-qualified and had the best knowledge about the John Howard Society,” she said.

Lord said the current economic climate, one that sees an empha-sis on fiscal restraint — particularly at the government level —

means it’s important to be innovative in how the society supports its clients.

With housing a major component of the society’s work, one of her priorities will be working with partners to find creative ways to bring affordable hous-ing to the community.

Her mother held the job for two decades and Lord can see herself having that kind of lon-gevity.

“I’m rooted very much in Kamloops,” she said.

“I did the 10 years away thing, but I’ve always been drawn back to B.C. and to Kamloops

“Where the orga-nization needs to be is with someone who can commit long term, bring a long-term vision to the organization.

“This offers all the opportunities I think I need for the remainder of my career.”

60 WHITESHIELD CRESCENT SOUTH, KAMLOOPS

LOCAL NEWS

A social housing project that represents the first significant injection of residents into down-town in five years is more than 75 per cent sold.

Jennifer Keim, who heads the development committee at Kamloops United Church, said the combination of construction work and the traditional spring real-estate sale season is push-ing the building toward its target of being sold out before comple-tion early next year.

“As soon as the building got taller than the fence, people said, ‘You’re building some-thing,’” Keim said.

“It’s been non-stop interest.”About 80 per cent of the 56

condo units at 429 St. Paul St. are sold with a second mortgage that functions as a down pay-ment.

The remainder are market units.

Keim said there are three units remaining in which buy-ers must qualify under a income threshold less than a median household amount of about $85,000 a year.

Eleven of 15 market units remain outstanding.

A number of new sales are also pending.

“The vast majority of all pur-chasers work downtown or at the hospital,” she said.

The building is expected to be ready for occupancy early next year.

Crucial to the project is

money that will be available from the controversial sale of the church’s waterfront property at Camp Grafton. The camp remains in operation and is unaffected by the sale.

Keim said the church is still working through the Columbia-Shuswap Regional District sub-division process.

It intends to have one 2.5-acre and another five-acre waterfront property at Shuswap Lake ready for sale this year.

The 429 St. Paul project will have a booth at this weekend’s Kamloops Spring Home Show on McArthur Island.

Keim said the YMCA/YWCA has offered bonus memberships to purchasers who will become neighbours to the downtown gym and pool.

TIPS

Walking is just as great as running. Proper walking form includes relax; arms swinging at the hips; short strides’ quick

cadence. Pace yourself (vary your pace). Your goal is to walk

5K or 10K. Way to go!

Water is your best friend. Start to experiment and learn how

you like to carry water on yourself - camel back? Waist

holder? Water bottle. Hydration gives you energy and prevents

injury. You WILL run 5K on April 26th 2015.

Start to visualize your boogie run. See yourself at the start

line - happy, relaxed, ready to rock. You are going to run 10K!

Pace yourself on your runs. Learn what works best for you.

RUNNING COMMENTARYwith Jo Berry

Register online at boogiethebridge.comRegister in person at the Tournament Capital Centre or Save-On-Foods.

Boogie training has taken a big detour for me recently.

Actually, it has come to a complete stop. I have sustained an injury that makes Jo Berry’s mantra of movement impos-sible. I stand on crutches with my leg immobilized.

As I ponder, motionless, I think about what would Jo do?

So, David Thompson Boogie continues with everyone moving.

See, my change does not have to stop everyone else from moving. As the students and staff continue to move, I decide how I can make this change better for everyone, including myself.

So, I do one of the things I do best — organize and delegate. Fellow staff members are keeping the training moving forward.

Awesome parents and volunteers are stepping up and helping with the prepara-tions for Boogie.

Next week, I will even venture out to training to cheer on the students with smiles and high-fives.

Watching and hearing the kids as they train reminds me of how thankful I am to be able to be a part of this whole move-ment.

You see, movement doesn’t always have to be a physical motion.

Sometimes it’s as simple as a kind and supportive gesture.

The first step out the door is the hardest, says Coach Laurel. If you can do that, the rest is easier.

Setting certain days during the last week to run helps, as does a friend to go with. So, lucky for me Run Club Gwen and I planned to meet and try a new spot for her runs in Peterson Creek Park.

Meeting in the parking lot after work and hopping the creek, we headed up the old wagon path and followed the lower Sahali trails. It was sunny and warm, with birds overhead, and Buddy racing to check out interesting scents and diver-sions. Phew! Lots of cardio for us climb-ing up and down those high hills.

Amazing that such a wild natural park was planned years ago just steps from our homes and offices. I believe parks are great community connec-tors — even right-of-ways can connect neighbourhoods.

This week was run three minutes, walk three minutes.

Coach Laurel’s advice again: Some days you are a rock star, other days you are a rock! Every run is different, but I don’t worry about how fast or how far I am going. It is enough to just do it.

I know I am not at the rock-star stage yet, but I am making it through the rock stage with every step.

Only a short time to go until the CFJC-TV Boogie The Bridge and I have had to step back a bit.

I had planned on doing 10 kilometres, but now will have to settle for five kilome-tres.

A couple of weeks ago, I started to have a sore knee and this has slowed my prog-ress. Jo Berry said this is common for some-body at my stage of running and icing and not aggravating the condition is important.

So, my pace has slowed down and I have gone to the five-kilometre program, which gives me a chance to pay it forward and help those who have just started this jour-ney to better health and well-being.

I remember only a short while ago when I was at the back of the bunch and every-body was doing pick-ups for me.

I felt so bad and told my coaches that I didn’t want to slow everybody else down and they shouldn’t worry about me.

That is not the way Run Club works, though, and everybody did a pick-up, so I remained part of the group.

There were times I became so discour-aged, but I was told even if I just walked, that would be good enough.

My coaches also said, “You’re doing a lot more that the guy who is sitting on the couch watching TV”.

Boogie is in 16 sleeps — and we are stoked!With more than 2,000 pre-registered, we may be

heading into our biggest Boogie ever. A huge thank you to our media sponsors, CFJC-TV and Kamloops This Week, for taking the message (movement is change) to the broader audience and changing lives.

The No. 1 goal of Boogie is community health and preventative medicine. Our team is 100 per cent dedi-cated, passionate and a little obsessed with respect to community wellness.

This past winter, I was running happily along Overlanders Bridge. I was having one of those rock-star runs, feeling high as a kite, happy and trucking along with ease.

A gentleman walking toward me shouted, “You know, you are going to die anyway!”

It took me by surprise, but also made me smile even bigger. Yes, he is definitely correct in his pre-diction (I am not going to escape death) but, in the meantime, I am feeling pretty terrific and super healthy.

I giggled to myself and his words gave me energy to run even faster. Running (and boogie) is all about preventative medicine and it works.

I am over-the-top proud of our beginner runners as they enter Week 5 of the Boogie training program. They started with one minute of running and, just this past week, ran trails for 55 minutes.

Wow! They covered 5K easily and we celebrated afterwards with high-fives, cookies and chocolate milk. When I see this magic happen, I always tear up. I see people starting to believe they, too, can be a runner and, more importantly, are starting to feel the positive effects of movement.

Boogie is just the beginning of their new lifestyle.

Twitter: @AdamWilliams87INSIDE: Update from the Masters | A17

Emma Wolfram used March Madness to make the announce-ment — she is ready to be a major player next season with the

Gonzaga Bulldogs.The 6-foot-5 centre from

Kamloops dropped a career-high 17 points on the No. 3-seed Oregon State Beavers in a 76-64 victory on March 22 in Corvallis, Ore., that sent No. 11-seed Gonzaga to the Sweet Sixteen.

“I’m usually on the floor because of my defence,” said Wolfram, who made a name for herself playing with the back-to-back provincial champion South Kamloops Titans.

“I guess it was just me showing that, when I need to step up and when other people aren’t able to score, I’m able to take over that role and contribute in that way, as well.”

Wolfram, 20, opted to redshirt in 2013-2014, working her tail off to get stronger, doing exactly what fellow Kamloopsian and Boston Celtics star Kelly Olynyk did at Gonzaga in his first season.

“It was a great experience to have the extra workouts and extra strength and to see the improve-ments from last year coming into this year was great,” Wolfram said.

It paid off for Kelly O. It’s pay-ing off for Emma.

She improved under new head coach Lisa Fortier, who took the reins this season from Kelly Graves when he signed with the Oregon Ducks after 14 seasons in Spokane.

Standout senior starter Sunny Greinacher is graduating this semester, leaving Wolfram to patrol the post in her wake.

“I’ve learned great things from

Sunny this year,” said Wolfram, named MVP and outstanding defensive player at the 2013 senior girls B.C. AAA provincial championships in Langley.

“I’m excited to step into that role and help the team even more than I did this year.”

Gonzaga went home to Washington for their Sweet Sixteen matchup against No. 2-ranked Tennessee and played in front of 8,686 fans at Spokane Arena.

“It was crazy,” Wolfram said. “We almost had a sell-out. There were a ton of our fans, people from the commu-nity, students. It was awesome to have that kind of support.

“Once you get out there, it’s just like any other game. There’s a little bit more excitement, more fans, but it’s basketball. You’ve got to do the same stuff you always do.”

The Bulldogs held a 17-point lead in the fourth quarter, but the Lady Vols stormed back, erasing the deficit in six minutes and thir-ty-four seconds, forcing overtime and advancing to the Elite Eight with a 73-69 victory.

“We just couldn’t handle their pressure in the final minutes and that’s what cost us the game,” Wolfram said.

It was a crushing defeat, but the Zags nearly failed to qualify for the tournament, which soft-

ened the sting of the Sweet Sixteen exodus.

The Bulldogs, known for play-ing the underdog role, were upset in the West Coast Conference Tournament semifinal round, a loss that left their future in the hands of others.

Brigham Young University, ranked fifth at the tournament, bested No. 1-ranked Gonzaga 61-55, leaving the Bulldogs to wait and see if the NCAA would grant them an at-large bid for March Madness.

“We were just praying we would get in,” Wolfram said.

They snuck in. They knocked off sixth-seeded George Washington. They bounced the

Beavers. They made it further than expected.

They found their centre for the next three seasons.

Wolfram, studying human physiology on a full-ride schol-arship, lives in an on-campus apartment five minutes from the gym, where she plans on practis-ing every day this summer, unless surgery prevents her from doing so.

She dislocated her shoulder about 17 times last season.

“If somebody comes down on my arm, my shoulder will pop out, but it will go back in by itself,” said Wolfram, who would like to play pro in Europe or in the WNBA after college.

“At the start, I had to get subbed out, but I kind of got used to it. I’d just get feeling back in it, because it would go numb, then I’d be good to go.”

Wolfram will decide in the next month if surgery is the right option.

If she goes under the knife, the towering centre will be out of action this summer, but expects to be back in time for the season.

“I’m not sure what we can accomplish next year,” Wolfram said.

“Winning the whole thing, that’s the goal every team has, but I’m definitely hoping to make it to an Elite 8 while I’m here.”

At the buzzerWolfram maintains regular

contact with former Titans’ team-mate Maya Olynyk and her father, TRU athletic director Ken Olynyk, who coached both girls at South Kam.

Maya played this season with Saskatchewan Huskies, who placed fourth at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport women’s basketball championship in March in Quebec City.

The Sagebrush golf course remains closed for the foreseeable future as golf season in the Nicola Valley begins.

Zoning issues and the search for a new owner have kept the course from opening this year.

The bed-and-breakfast cottages on the course couldn’t open for business because they are zoned residential when the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) says they should be rezoned as commercial.

“We don’t disagree with that — we can see their point on it — it’s just unfortunate that it’s cost us some open-ing time here to get the proper zoning in place,” Sagebrush pres-ident Bob Garnett said.

Given the popular-ity of overnight visits to Sagebrush, Garnett estimates a loss of about $400,000 from not being able to open the cottages and Badlands Patio this sea-son, the bulk of which

stands to be lost in the next few months.

The process of rezoning is expected to take about six months.

Regina Sadilkova, TNRD director of devel-opment services, said she’s hoping to bring forward the first and second readings of a rezoning bylaw by the April 23 TNRD board of directors meeting.

However, in order for that to happen, all the necessary docu-ments and other infor-mation needed to write up a report to the direc-tors has to be sent to the TNRD a week ahead of time.

The board of direc-tors usually meets twice per month but, from June through September, has only one regular board meeting per month.

Intended to be a golfing resort desti-nation, the current owner — Four for Fore Investments Ltd. — didn’t want to simply open the golf course itself.

“We could have opened the golf course, but the owners said they weren’t willing to step back three years,” Garnett said.

“They spent three-million bucks building those cottages so they could accommodate people on site, and it just wasn’t tenable for them to go back three years to when we didn’t have any cottages and only attracted day play-ers.”

Garnett said there is no timeline on when the zoning issue will be resolved.

“It takes whatever it takes. It’s a process,” Garnett said.

Some events at the course, such as the Merritt Centennials’ annual golf tourna-ment, have already been cancelled.

That tournament is usually held in August.

Regardless of when the zoning issue is resolved, Four for Fore won’t open the golf course before it finds a new owner.

Back in September, Langley-based Newmark Group was expected to become the new owner of the course, but that deal never closed.

A new owner of the course is actively being sought by Four for Fore.

“There’s multiple parties they’re dealing with and they’re just trying to get somebody to the table now and get it done,” Garnett said.

Although being closed for the entire golf season is a pos-sibility, Garnett doesn’t anticipate that happen-ing.

“We don’t have any contingency plans for that, because we don’t expect that,” he said.

The course’s golf season typically runs from mid-April to mid-October.

Four for Fore con-sists of the four original investors behind PGA-winner Richard Zokol’s idea of an exclusive golf club catering to the business elite.

Kamloops Rugby Fest returns to pitches across the city this weekend.

The 34-team tour-nament will feature high-school squads from B.C., Alberta and Washington state play-ing in girls’, junior boys’ and senior boys’ divi-sions.

Fields at the Tournament Capital Ranch in Rayleigh and at NorKam, South Kamloops and Valleyview secondar-ies will be home to the action.

The tournament gets underway today at 1 p.m., with the last matches kicking off at 4 p.m.

Rugby Fest continues

tomorrow from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Go online to kam-loopsthisweek.com for the full schedule.

Each game of the round-robin format tournament consists of two, 20-minutes halves.

Saints rollThe NorKam Saints

girls’ rugby team opened league play with an 87-5 victory over Westsyde, which fielded its first girls’ squad in recent memory.

Recording tries were Elisabeth Avery (5), Kally King (3), Grace Campbell (2), Michaela Stenekes, Alena McCulloch, Hana Kotani, Niki Baker and Brittny Werstiuk.

Stenekes kicked six conversions.

Heavy HandsKen (Heavy Hands)

Huber will be back in the ring tonight.

After success-fully defending his B.C. Combative Sports pro-vincial title in Victoria recently, the Kamloops boxer will take on Fernie fighter Bob Larson in Langley.

The fight will be for the heavyweight title.

Huber, who normally

fights at cruiserweight, will be moving up a weight class for the fight.

The heavyweight title fight, which will be contested at Cascades Casino, will be Huber’s second tilt in less than a month.

Last gaspIn less than a month,

proponents of hockey at Thompson Rivers University will finally know where they stand.

The B.C. Intercollegiate Hockey League has set a May 3 deadline for those look-ing to get the Kamloops university team back into the league’s ranks.

Trevor Bast, the man behind the group

Revive TRU Hockey, has been spearhead-ing efforts to get the program back up and running in time for the 2015-2016 season.

Bast has been operating under the assumption a minimum of $70,000 would be needed to run a bare-bones program, $45,000 of which would come from player fees, pegged at $1,800 a pop.

He needs to raise the remaining $25,000 by the May 3 deadline.

TRU Athletics has declined to support the team.

For more informa-tion and to find out how to help, contact Bast at [email protected].

NEWARK, N.J. — Winning the President’s Trophy for the NHL’s best regular-season record has given the New York Rangers home-ice advantage for playoffs.

That’s it. There are no guarantees how far they will get in the post-sea-son and recent history is working against them.

Since the 2002-03 season, only the Detroit Red Wings (2007-2008) and the Chicago Blackhawks (2012-2013) have captured the President’s Trophy and gone on to win the Stanley Cup.

The Boston Bruins didn’t make it past the second round last sea-son and the Vancouver Canucks were knocked off in the first round in 2011-2012 by the even-tual Cup winners, the Los Angeles Kings.

“I think everyone knows that winning games in the playoffs

is 10 times harder than winning in the regular season,’’ defenceman Marc Staal said after the Rangers beat the New Jersey Devils 4-2 Tuesday night to clinch best record. “I think we are excited to get it start-ed. It should be a lot of fun. This is season two. We have to use what we learned this season to be a good hockey team in the playoffs.’’

A year after losing to the Kings in the Cup Finals last year, the Rangers (52-21-7 for 111 points) are on the verge of a franchise season.

Their 52-wins tied the franchise record and their point total is one less than that fran-chise mark. Both marks were set in 1993-94, the last time they won the Stanley Cup.

Now might be a time for New York to exhale. It travels to Washington for the season finale on Saturday.

Don’t look for major changes, though.

One of the biggest

reasons for the team’s success is that coach Alain Vigneault has his team looking no further than the next game. He also has gotten his play-ers to accept roles. The team comes first.

“We want to con-tinue to play the right way,’’ Vigneault said.

The Rangers may have to wait until Saturday to find out who they will play in the first round. There were five teams fighting for the last four spots in the Eastern Conference — Boston, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Ottawa and the Islanders.

Those teams are in playoff-mode now.

Only eight of the previous 28 President’s Trophy winners have won the Cup that year.

Three have lost in the finals. Six have lost in the first round.

“With the par-ity today, I think you would be a fool to pick a winner now,’’ Devils forward Mike Cammalleri said.

President’s Trophy a heavy burdenTOM CANAVAN THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AUGUSTA, Ga. — Charley Hoffman snagged a pair of valuable autographs on the Augusta National driving range.

Then he turned in a Masters round that would’ve been familiar to Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer.

Going out shortly after sun-rise in the first group of the tournament, Hoffman shot a 5-under 67 yesterday to take the clubhouse lead — his best score ever in a major champi-onship.

At 7-under, Jordan Spieth led the Masters as of KTW’s press deadline yesterday, two strokes ahead of Hoffman, Ernie Els and Justin Rose, with only a few golfers left on the course.

With all eyes on Rory McIlroy and Tiger Woods, the 38-year-old Hoffman managed to grab a share of the spotlight with a strong start and an even better finish.

“When it’s a little bit damp like it was today, you can be aggressive at some pins,’’ Hoffman said.

“I knew I could be aggres-sive.’’

He also showed some spunk when he spotted Nicklaus and Palmer warming up on the range, getting ready to hit their ceremonial opening tee shots along with Gary Player.

Hoffman had purchased a couple of Masters flags the night before, and he persuaded Nicklaus and Palmer to sign them. They’ll be auctioned off to benefit Hoffman’s favourite charities.

“That was pretty cool,’’

Hoffman said. “I was sort of scared of them. ‘Should I ask them? Should I not ask them?’’’

Maybe the quest for auto-graphs helped to calm the nerves. Whatever the case, Hoffman birdied the second and third holes, just the start he needed in his first Masters appearance since 2011.

He struggled a bit through the middle of the round, but surged back to the top of the leaderboard with an eagle at the par-5 15th, followed by birdies at the 16th and 18th holes.

The last of them was set up by a brilliant approach from 180 yards that stopped 3 feet from the cup at the difficult closing hole.

McIlroy also played in the morning, alongside three-time Masters champion Phil Mickelson. The 25-year-old from Northern Ireland has a shot at history, needing only the Masters to round out a career Grand Slam.

He finished 1-under and Mickelson at 2-under.

Just five players in the mod-ern era have won all four of golf’s biggest titles: Nicklaus, Player, Woods, Ben Hogan and Gene Sarazen.

In Canadian results, ama-teur Corey Conners of Listowel, Ont., was 8 over while 2003 Masters champion Mike Weir

of Bright’s Grove, Ont., was 10 over.

McIlroy got off to a shaky start, yanking his tee shot at No. 2 into a creek that runs far left of the fairway. After taking a drop, he lined one off the pine straw and got in position to save par.

Woods had an afternoon tee time, making his return to com-petition after going on hiatus back in early February to work on his struggling game.

He’s battled injuries and looked more like a weekend duffer than a 14-time major champion in his last appear-ance at Torrey Pines.

But Woods, 1-over at KTW’s deadline, insists that he’s ready to contend again for his first major title since 2008.

“I’m excited to be back, to be back playing at this level,’’ he said this week. “I feel like my game is finally ready to com-pete at this level, the highest level.’’

Bubba Watson (1-under at deadline) is trying to join Nicklaus, Woods and Nick Faldo as the only Masters champions to defend their titles.

Spieth, now 21, he might be the hottest player on the PGA Tour, having won, finished sec-ond, and lost in a playoff in his past three starts.

“Last year,’’ Spieth said, “I had no expectations, didn’t know what it was going to be like, had never played the tour-nament before.

“This year, I come in maybe expecting to play well on a course I feel very comfortable on. I feel like it suits my game nicely, and I also feel like I’ve been playing well.’’

One night a man had a dream, He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky �ashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.When the last scene of his life �ashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffer-ing, when you saw only one set of foot-prints, it was then that I carried you.”

Margaret Fishback Powers

Footprints

A Vanished FriendAround the corner I have a friendIn this great city that has no end;

Yet days go by, and weeks rush on,And before I know it a year has gone,And I never see my old friend’s face,For life is a swift and terrible race.

He knows I like him just as wellAs in the days when I rang his bell,

And he rang mine. We were younger then,And now we are busy, tired men,Tired of playing a foolish game,Tired with trying to make a name.“Tomorrow, I will call on Jim,

Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes,

And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away

“Here’s a telegram, sir,”“Jim died today!”

And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

FAITH

The story continues far beyond EasterH

ordes of people again flocked to

churches this past Easter because many of them knew they were going to hear good news.

However, Easter is also terrifying news.

According to evan-gelist Mark, early on a Sunday morning, three women followers of Jesus made their way to a tomb to anoint his dead body.

Earlier, they had seen him being cruci-fied “from a distance.”

When it was all over, they saw his body being laid in a tomb and a huge stone rolled over its door.

That’s our favourite perspective on death — we do all we can to keep our distance from it. We try to stay healthy, work out and watch what we eat, all in an attempt to keep

death at bay.But, occasionally, it

catches up to someone we love and then we know we have to face death up close.

The current spate of murders being per-petrated by followers of ISIL, Boko Haram and al-Sabah proves it does not matter how wealthy, well-defended or far removed we are from evil men, terror can still find us.

Everything seems to have changed since it all started with the ter-

rorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2011.

It remains to be seen just how much we have changed, beyond tolerating longer lines at airports and border crossings.

All the women who made their way to the tomb on the first Easter morning knew they were something less before meeting Jesus.

Mary Magdalene had her soul torn apart by seven demons.

This man called Jesus was their saviour.

Now he was dead.As they walked

down the road toward the tomb, maybe one of them mentioned the world has always been hard on saviours.

Or, like most people in deep grief, maybe they said nothing as they tried to close the distance between themselves and the tomb.

Their only dilemma

was how they would get the stone rolled back.

We all know about pushing against stones in life. All of us have been pushing against something for a long time.

This past Easter may have found us pushing against a superior who is hard to satisfy, or against the threat of being laid off in our jobs.

May be some of us are pushing against a marriage that seems destined for the ditch, or against a disease that is between us and our dreams.

But, as the first Easter story goes, even if we get rid of the huge stone, all that is waiting on the other side is death.

When the women arrived at the tomb, they were astonished to discover the stone rolled back. Walking inside, they saw an

angel and were star-tled.

No wonder the women fled the tomb in fear.

We may not care much for death, but we understand its cli-max. It’s what sets the agenda for rest of life.

That is why we push so hard at life – against aging, diseases, or ter-rorists. We want to stay away from death as long as possible.

According to Easter message, the point of life is not to collect as many things as possi-ble, to hold your loved one as tightly possible, or to waste our pre-cious few years trying to postpone death.

Easter declares the point of life is to dis-cover a death-defying hope.

That is why it is such a profound opportunity to join the women in staring at the tomb of Jesus.

Then, we can stare

at our own tombs of loss and death without fear.

When the Church first began, it struggled through periods of persecution for cen-turies.

Every week when believers gathered, they took time to embrace each other because they did not know who might be martyred for their faith before the next assem-bly.

They died with Christ, however only to be raised to a new life with him and in him.

Only in Christ’s death and resurrec-tion, it is possible for us also to die to the old agendas and rise to a changed life, no longer crippled by fear.

The greatest catas-trophe of history happened not in the First World War or the Second World War.

It took place 2,000 years ago, when we

crucified the Son of God.

That was the ulti-mate experience beyond humanity’s limit.

But, it was also then that history was given the possibility of resur-rection.

When Jesus defeated death, he did so that we may experience something beyond our limits, to rise with him into a new life.

It’s now up to us to walk out of our own graves as new crea-tures

Not even the European conquest of the entire Arab world between 1830 and 1920?

You really think the gravest threat ever to Arab existence and identity is a bunch of tribal warriors in Yemen?

Sisi was addressing the Arab League sum-mit in Cairo last week that created a new pan-Arab military force to confront this threat, so overheated rhetoric was standard issue, but still . . . . The air forces of Saudi Arabia and its Gulf neighbours are

blasting Yemen from the air and there is talk of Saudi Arabian, Egyptian and even Pakistani troops invad-ing on the ground, but it all smells more of panic than of strategic calculation.

The panic is due to the end of the status quo that has prevailed in the Middle East since approximately 1980.

Iran is back and there is great dismay in the palaces of Riyadh — especially because it was Saudi Arabia’s great friend and ally,

the United States, that finally set Iran free.

It was the agreement in Lausanne between Iran and the group of 5+1 (the United States, Russia, China, Britain, France and Germany) that marked the end of the status quo.

It was about ending various trade embar-goes against Iran in return for 10 to 15 years of strict controls on Iran’s nuclear power program, but it will also let Iran out of the jail it has been confined to since the 1979 revolu-tion.

Initially that revolu-tion was quite scary for Iran’s Arab neighbours because Iran’s example in overthrowing the local pro-Western ruler and taking a stronger stand against Israel was very popular in the Arab street.

The solution was to paint Iran as a crazy ter-rorist state and isolate it as much as possible from the rest of the region.

The other tactic that the conservative Arab states deployed was to stress the religious gulf between Iran (which is 90 per cent Shia) and the Arab countries (whose people are at least 85 per cent Sunni).

The doctrinal differ-ences are real, but they do not normally make ordinary people see one another as natural ene-mies unless somebody (like state propaganda) works hard at it.

Those measures worked for 20 years, assisted by some really stupid Iranian actions like holding US embas-sy personnel hostage for 444 days but, by the end of the 20th century, they were losing cred-ibility.

What saved the quarantine policy in 2002 was the discovery Tehran had been work-ing on nuclear weapons design.

The work was a revival of research that had been started dur-ing the US-backed Iraqi

invasion of Iran in 1980 to 1988 (when Saddam Hussein certainly was working on nuclear weapons) and was shut down afterwards.

It was restarted in 1998, almost cer-tainly in response to the nuclear weapons tests by Pakistan, Iran’s east-ern neighbour.

It was Iran being stupid again, but it was probably never about Israel.

The alleged Iranian nuclear threat provided the basis for another decade and more of political quarantine and trade embargoes that have crippled Iran eco-nomically and isolated it politically.

It came to a sudden end last week with the agreement in principle in Lausanne (unless the Saudi Arabian and Israeli lobbies in Washington manage to torpedo the deal in the next few months).

Iran has about the same population and GDP as Egypt, the big-

gest Arab country by far, but it is far closer both to the Arab Gulf states and to the Sunni-Shia battlegrounds in Iraq and Syria (both of whose governments are closely linked to Tehran).

That’s what Sisi was talking about when he spoke of an existential threat to Arab existence and identity.

However, he’s still talking through his hat.

Arab existence and identity are not at risk and Iran has no need to paint the Sunni Arab countries as enemies.

The Iranian regime may be losing its sup-port among the young (or maybe not), but it has absolutely no need to inoculate them against the attraction of Arab political systems and foreign policies by promoting an Arab-Iranian confrontation.

They hold no attrac-tion whatever for young Iranians.

As for the notion that the Houthi militia

now controlling most of Yemen is really an Iranian tool (which is the main justification for the military inter-vention there), it is nonsense.

The Houthis, like the Iranians, are Shias, but have their own local interests to protect and Iran has no plausible reason to want some sort of strategic foot-hold in Yemen.

It is a safe bet there is not even a single armed Iranian in Yemen.

If the United States could send troops into Iraq in 2003 in the delu-sionary belief Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, then Saudi Arabia can believe it is fighting Iranians in Yemen.

No country has a monopoly on stupid-ity and Riyadh will probably have ample opportunity to regret its mistake.

ENVELOPES FOUND IN MANITOBA

COURTHOUSES

WINNIPEG — RCMP say they are investigating suspicious envelopes found at five courthouses in Manitoba.

Officers were first called Wednesday to the court building in Thompson, where two people experienced breathing prob-lems.

Mounties say the two people were treated at the scene and did not need to go to hospital.

Packages were also received throughout the day at courthouses in Winnipeg, Brandon, Morden and Minnedosa.

RCMP Assistant Commissioner Kevin Brosseau says the large envelopes con-tained documents.

He says tests are being done, but it’s believed the public is not at risk.

Accused B.C. terrorists planned distraction bombing in Victoria strip club: trial

VANCOUVER — A B.C. court has heard a man accused of plotting to blow up the provincial legislature proposed setting off explosives in a strip club washroom as a distraction from the main event.

In video played for a jury, John Nuttall is seen telling an undercover officer that his plan would avoid tar-geting women and children.

His wife and co-accused Amanda Korody says in the recording that kids don’t frequent strip bars and that hookers turning tricks in the men’s washroom would

be the only women killed.Nuttall grows excited when

Korody suggests they plant the bombs in the drained water tank of a toilet and calls her the rock upon which he stands.

The video taken in June 2013 is part of an elaborate police sting that culminated in the couple’s arrest on Canada Day.

Both Nuttall and Korody have pleaded not guilty to four terrorism-related charges.

BELL MEDIA PRESIDENT GONE WEEKS AFTER NEWS MEDDLINGMONTREAL — The president of the country’s largest communications company abruptly left his post Thursday, two weeks after he admitted to trying to influence national news coverage by one of its subsidiaries.

A corporate statement announcing the depar-ture of Bell Media president Kevin Crull left little doubt of the link between his leaving and his interference in CTV’s coverage of the country’s broadcast regulator.

“The independence of Bell Media’s news operations is of para-mount importance to our company and to all Canadians,’’ George Cope, head of Bell Canada and BCE Inc., said in a release.

“There can be no doubt that Bell will always uphold the jour-nalistic standards that have made CTV the most trusted brand in Canadian news.’’

Crull sparked wide-spread criticism last month for demand-ing CTV journalists

not give any airtime to Jean-Pierre Blais, chair-man of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.

He was apparently unhappy with Blais’s announcement of rule changes requiring broad-casters to offer a low-cost package to cable TV consumers and to allow them to “pick and pay’’ other individual channels.

In response, Blais called it “disturbing’’ that the country’s largest communication company in Canada would be “manipulating news coverage.’’

CTV is a division of Bell Media, a company with assets in TV, radio, and the Internet, which is in turn owned by BCE Inc.

The backlash prompted Crull, who joined Bell in 2005, to apologize for what he called his ``intrusion.’’

“It was wrong of me to be anything but abso-lutely clear that editorial control always rests with the news team,’’ Crull said in a statement March 25.

“I have apologized to the team directly for this mistake.’’

When Crull appeared before the CRTC three years ago, he insisted that Bell never interfered on the editorial side.

In his statement, Cope thanked Crull for his contributions to Bell’s customers and sharehold-ers and praised him for his role in spearheading Bell Media investments in Canadian content.

Crull was replaced by Mary Ann Turcke, who takes over responsibility for Bell Media’s national broadcast and digital operations, Cope said.

Turcke, who also joined Bell in 2005, was for-merly a media sales group president.

Conservatives seeking fine print details from allies on Iran nuclear dealOTTAWA — A skeptical Harper govern-ment will be pressing some of Canada’s closest allies for the fine-print details on their deal to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons.

Canadian Press has learned Prime Minister Stephen Harper will likely raise the Iran agreement this weekend while he and President Barack Obama are in

Panama for the Summit of the Americas.Similarly, sources say Foreign Affairs

Minister Rob Nicholson will be pressing the issue next week when G7 foreign min-isters meet in the northern German city of Lubeck.

Nicholson has already released a state-ment expressing skepticism about the deal reached by six countries, including the U.S., to curb Iran’s nuclear program and prevent it from developing atomic

weapons. Israel, a close friend of the Harper government, opposes the accord, to be finalized in June, because it says it will not stop Iran from clandestinely pur-suing a bomb.

A senior government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said Iran would be one of the top internation-al security issues that Harper will discuss with Obama when the two are in Panama over the weekend.

Sperm bank sued by Canadian couple says it didn’t verify donor information

A U.S.-based sperm bank says it didn’t verify the information of a donor at the heart of a lawsuit by a Canadian couple who allege they weren’t told their donor was a schizophrenic with a criminal record.

In an open let-ter, the president of Xytex Corp. says after a careful review of its records, the company has determined the couple’s claims “do not reflect’’ the information

the donor provided to Xytex.

Port Hope, Ont., residents Angela Collins and Margaret Elizabeth Hanson allege that Xytex Corp. told them their choice of donor was a healthy man with multiple degrees who was “among their best donors.’’

In a statement of claim filed with a

Georgia court, the couple alleges they only accidentally learned the identity of their donor after their son was born, and through their own research real-ized the man was a col-lege dropout who had been arrest for burglary at one point and had schizophrenia.

But Xytex president Kevin M. O’Brien says the couple’s donor

underwent a “standard medical exam’’ and provided “extensive personal and health information.’’

O’Brien says the man reported “a good health history’’ — infor-mation which was passed on to the couple who were clearly told that those representa-tions came from the donor and “were not verified by Xytex.’’

“You can imagine our concern when a lawsuit was filed last week that accused us

of misleading a client. We want to assure you that this is simply not true,’’ O’Brien wrote in his letter.

“We stand by the process we followed, and intend to vigor-ously defend ourselves against the allegations in this lawsuit.

“In the meantime, we remain committed to providing clients with excellent service and upholding the highest practices and standards in the busi-ness.’’

Does the museum need a building?

City councillor Tina Lange recently questioned the need for down-town space where the Kamloops

Museum and Archives resides.Lange said she thinks visitor

numbers don’t justify the costs of keep the facility running.

She suggested roving his-torical displays in buildings throughout the city, like the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame display at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Parks, recreation and cul-tural-services director Byron McCorkell asked council to “give us a chance,” noting the museum has a new curator and vision, with plans for a more interactive space.

In light of the discussion, KTW visited the museum and pondered its value to the com-munity.

Trip to the museumA smudged cheek and left-

hand print make for a foggy view of a stuffed snowy owl at the Kamloops Museum and Archives.

Someone took a closer look at the white and brown feath-ers that cover the raptor dur-ing a visit to the third floor at 207 Seymour St., where several permanent exhibits are on dis-play, telling the early stories of Kamloops.

“There are over 200 species in the world,” reads a note in the display case filled with owls.

Thanks to Kamloops taxider-mist Thomas Keyes, museum visitors get a sample of them.

They also get a taste of Kamloops’ pioneers and his-tory of the River City — stories of the Secwepemc First Nations

people, fur traders, the gold rush and the railway.

A dugout canoe fills space above display cases that includes tangible examples of basket work and tools.

Visitors can wander the rest of the floor through the British Columbia Fly Fishing Gallery and the Victorian era, learn about early telephones and pay tribute to those who fought in past wars.

Down the stairs, a seasonal exhibit showcases works from Mary Spencer — about 60 piec-es of photography and history scattered throughout the large room.

Magnifying glasses are in the corner for a closer look at the small photographs.

A field camera, an original camera Spencer used in her portrait studio, is on display

with an old flash and exposure meter.

The archives are on this floor, too, open from 1:15 p.m. to 4 p.m. Tuesdays to Fridays, with the city’s newspaper his-tory available on microfilm.

Downstairs is the children’s museum.

There’s a puppet theatre, space-station themed reading area, games and other activities.

Children are donning fur pelts and playing in Jean Baptiste Lolo’s historic restored log cabin.

The children’s museum is filled with kids, this being Spring Break.

There are a few others throughout the museum.

Children are playing dress up with slippers, dresses, belts and hats in front of a large mirror.

DIAMOND RINGS FOR TASTES

that don’t STOP AT ORDINARY.



What began as a bit of a joke with an anticipated six-month shelf life has kept

the band members laughing for 16 years as BC/DC keeps on rocking.

That kind of success is a reality of many tribute bands, said lead singer Brendan Raftery, particularly outside major metropolitan areas.

“If you’re not in a major city, sure, you can buy a ticket for the real thing but it ends up costing you $500 or $600, money you could put on your VISA instead and just come hear bands like us,” said Raftery, who agreed to using his real name even though the band members rarely want to be quoted out of char-acter. His band name is Brian “Bon” Johnscottson.

The success has seen the group of musicians travel throughout their home province — they’re a regular for the annual Retro Weekend at Sun Peaks — and around the world. Last November, for example, the band toured China.

This week, it’s heading to

Kamloops for a show at Pogue Mahone Irish Alehouse, 843 Desmond St., on Saturday.

Raftery promises a night with “tons of fun” as the band plays songs it claims to have heard from a BC/DC tribute band in Australia.

Taking a more serious tone for a moment, Raftery said he’s hard-pressed to pick an AC/DC song that is his favourite to perform.

“Sin City, probably,” he said. “But, there are just so many, it’s

hard to pick.”While they adopt the persona

and the music, don’t expect them to come out looking exactly like the Sydney originals.

“Ninety-nine per cent of tribute bands try to clone the band,” he said. “We’re the one per cent.

“We’re loud, fun, it’s a lot like a time capsule that brings people back to a bush party in the back of a pickup with a warm six-pack at your feet.”

Tickets are $30 in advance at the venue. Add on service charges if they are bought at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483 or kamloopslive.ca.

Tickets sold on the day of the event will be $40 plus service charg-es.

To learn more talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca

Baby (primary) teeth play a big role in your child’s speech development, nutrition and create space for adult teeth to develop correctly. Limit sugary food and drinks and clean your baby’s mouth

YOUR CHILD’S BABY TEETH CAN LAST UNTIL THEY’RE 14 YEARS OLD.

◾ Caring for the mouth starts early. Begin by cleaning your baby’s mouth using a wet cloth and gently wiping the gums to remove any leftover milk or formula from the mouth.

◾ Brush your child’s teeth as soon as the � rst tooth appears and make sure you lift the lip to brush along the gum line. Young children cannot clean their own teeth. Brush for them when they are very young and with them as they grow older.

◾ Use a soft toothbrush. Choose an appropriate size for the age of the child.

◾ Make brushing fun and develop a routine: brush at a speci� c time (after a bath or before a book); in a speci� c location (mom’s knee); or with speci� c cues (music, counting).

◾ Use a small amount of � uoride tooth- paste to protect the teeth from cavities. Children under the age of 3 should only use a smear (size of a grain of rice) while those over 3 can use a pea-sized amount. Encourage your children to spit out the tooth- paste.

◾ Cavity-causing bacteria can transfer from your mouth to your child’s. Avoid sharing soothers, toothbrushes or other items with your child.

◾ Regardless of age, discourage graz- ing on sugary foods and drinks throughout the day or overnight. For instance, constant and slow sip- ping on milk-� lled bottles or sippy cups with juice, keeps sugars in the mouth and can lead to cavities—� ll them with water instead.

◾ Choose healthy snacks such as cheese, fruit or nuts. What’s good for the body is good for the mouth.

◾ The earlier a dental problem is found, the easier it is to � x. Check your child’s mouth and visit the dentist regularly.

◾ Look in your child’s mouth for signs of disease such as brown or yellow spots on the teeth. Other signs that your child may be suffering from dental disease include: trouble sleeping; dif� culty concentrating; and, avoiding certain foods, such as cold drinks and foods.

◾ The � rst dental visit should take place by age one or within six months of when you see the � rst tooth. Through regular examinations your dentist will monitor the development of your child’s teeth and gums to catch problems early and prevent disease. Starting dental visits early can also improve your child’s comfort with visiting the dentist.

Remember, children learn by example: if you look after your own teeth and gums, your children will too.

Baby teeth are important tooKeeping your child’s baby teeth healthy and strong is important to their oral

and overall health and development. Baby teeth begin to appear around 6 months and can last until a child is 13 or 14. They are an important part of your child’s nutrition, speech development, self-con� dence and play a signi� cant role in the placement of permanent adult teeth.

Without proper care and attention children can suffer from dental decay (cavi-ties). Decay is caused when sugars in the mouth mix with plaque bacteria to create an acid that can destroy tooth enamel. The longer sugar is in the mouth, the more acid is produced, increasing the risk of cavities.

Dental decay is painful—it can lead to infection and tooth loss. Children with dental disease may also have trouble sleeping, dif� culty concentrating and suffer emotional distress—feeling bad about the way they look.

Dental disease is not always recognizable. Pain is usually a sign there is a prob-lem but very young children are not able to explain when they are in pain.

The good news is that dental disease is preventable. Establishing healthy habits from an early age, including regular dental exams, can start your child on the path to good oral health.

Set your child up for good dental health:

For more ways to help your child bene� t from good dental health, talk to your dentist or visit yourdentalhealth.ca.

Projects inspire Cavers

Donovan Cavers has added a goal on his to-do list: If Michael Mehta offers a specific geography course again, the city councillor plans on taking it.

Cavers was one of several people on a panel judging pre-sentations by Mehta’s students at Thompson Rivers University, each group charged with researching an envi-ronmental project they think could benefit Kamloops.

Cavers, an environ-mental advocate, said he was intrigued by the presentations, with two resonating with

him — solar power and in-pipe hydro-power.

The presentations comprised a public forum on renewable energy, one in which each of the five groups presented their pro-posals and received feedback from a panel that included, among others, Cavers, Mayor Peter Milobar and Cheryl Kabloona of the B.C. Sustainable Energy Association.

In addition to the solar thermal and hydropower ideas, pre-sentations were made on wind turbines, geothermal technology and solar photovoltaic panels.

Milobar called the presentations well thought out and

practical and noted city officials “have scratched the surface of them before.”

He said solar power makes the most sense for the city “with the number of hours of daylight we get” while Cavers noted Brock pool has a solar-pow-ered water heater.

Cavers was intrigued with that project and its applica-tion — as the students presented it — to eas-ing the energy costs of the Canada Games Aquatic Centre.

Cavers also saw potential benefit to the hydropower con-cept, which produces electricity through turbines fuelled by the flow of water, something in which

the pipes in Aberdeen might be appropriate.

Kabloona also felt the projects most compatible with Kamloops involved solar power, although she could also see some possibilities with hydropower.

She praised Mehta for the way he has taught the course saying Mehta “has done a marvellous job of bringing [the stu-dents] to a place where they take over the learning.”

Kabloona said there are often political aspects to environ-mental considerations, particularly in a prov-ince where electricity is cheap “from a global perspective.”


Workshops for seniorsThe second annual Seniors’

Symposium will be held on June 12 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way.

Cost to attend the day, which is being co-sponsored by the City of Kamloops and Oncore Central Services, is $15, which includes participating in various workshops, lunch and refreshments at breaks.

The day begins at 9 a.m., when exhibitors will show displays in

Ballroom C while a keynote speaker opens the event in the theatre.

Other sessions include housing, active aging, health care, chronic-care management and preventing falls and ensuring fire safety.

To register, call the city at 250-828-3500 and quote program num-ber 241182.

Grant will help MissionThe dental clinic at

New Life Mission will receive $4,000, money that will likely go to replace the floor in the area.

The money is part of a $120,000 one-time series of grants from the provincial govern-ment to 20 dental programs in B.C. that assist low-income adults and children

The government is also giving the B.C.

Dental Association $40,000 for its Save a Smile program that assists children of fam-ilies without dental-plan coverage.

The money may also be used to help the mission with staff-ing of the clinic after

Dr. Bruce Propkopetz leaves to tend to his own growing practice.

He plans to leave the mission’s clinic at the end of June and, said mission executive director Stan Dueck, work has begun to try and replace him.

PROVINCIAL FUNDING WILL LIKELY REPLACE DENTAL CLINIC FLOOR

Spring seems to have sprung back when winter still claimed the calendar, but this weekend’s annual Kamloops Spring Home Show is defini-tive proof the season of warmth is entrenched in the Tournament Capital.

The 17th annual event takes over the McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on the weekend, with more than 150 exhibi-tors filling both arenas.

Organizer Jim

Rice said the latest and greatest in home improvement will again be featured at the show.

From landscaping to renovations to find-ing that right addition to the living room, the home show will have options on display and experts to answer ques-tions.

Returning this year is the Dodge Test Drive event, which gives passersby a chance to test drive a Dodge pick-up truck, with plenty of giveaways part of

the promotion.While the adults will

have myriad exhibi-tors to visit, kids will be entertained by the TLC for Pets petting zoo, where various animals can be cuddled.

In addition, there will be plenty of con-tests to enter as visitors walk from one exhibit to another in both are-nas.

As always entrance to the show — and parking outside — is free.

“The show is a good place to go for any home-improvement idea,” Rice said. “Talk to the experts and they can help you.”

Rice said the home

show is being held ear-lier in April this year, which should result in less traffic congestion on McArthur Island as fewer sports events will be taking place com-pared to years past.

In addition, the demolition of the McArthur Island Youth Clubhouse should ease extra traffic, while Overlanders Bridge will be a non-issue as the major construction project on the span will not begin until next week at the earliest.

The Kamloops Spring Home Show will take place on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

COMMUNITYThis year’s Kamloops Spring Home Show will again take place at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, filling both arenas with exhibits. Last year’s event drew large crowds, including Melody and Jim Stutt (left), who stopped by to talk to Dayle Bingley and Stuart Campbell of Campbell Wall Company.KTW FILE PHOTO

I expected to hear honking.

But, these greater snow geese were too busy searching

for food in the low-tide mud along the banks of the St. Lawrence to honk much.

The drizzling rain muted sound further, so what noise there was did not travel far.

We stood in the rain for several minutes, watching some slip-slide their way along the mud, others swim-ming about close to shore.

The best time to see snow geese in any numbers in Canada is during the spring and fall migrations, as they fly north to their nest-ing grounds or south, to winter away from the Arctic cold.

They travel up and down eastern and western flyways.

This group was in the east, in Quebec’s Cape Tourmente National Wildlife Area, during the spring migration north, to mate, nest and raise new goslings.

We had actually seen larger numbers of them in fields, driving into the park.

They landed and took off in droves, wad-dling across fields like a moving rug of white, searching for grain and insects to augment their diet of aquatic plants found closer to the river.

The park, 50 kilo-

metres east of Quebec City, was established in 1978 to protect the American bull-rush marshes, the primary snow geese habitat during migration.

The 24-square-kilometre area con-tains several different and distinct habitats, sitting as it does at the juncture of the Canadian Shield, the St. Lawrence lowlands and the Appalachian

Mountains, and also at the confluence of the St. Lawrence Upper and Fluvial estuaries.

We started our tour in the Visitor Interpretive Centre, looking at dioramas and taxonomic dis-plays of geese and other wildlife while hearing a talk by a park interpreter.

Then, we headed outside to watch the geese search for food.

Geese are not the only birds found in there; 20 different duck and goose species, 10 or more raptor species and numerous song-birds call it home.

Bear, deer, red fox, muskrats and porcu-pines also reside there.

All told, there are 325 bird species, 30 mammal species, 22 types of forest stands and 700 plant species.

Having seen enough

geese, we headed into the interior to tramp along some of the park’s 20 kilometres of trails, through marshes and woodlands.

As we wound along the trail, the guide halted us suddenly for a chance to spot a pileated woodpecker flitting about in the trees, up ahead.

We all caught glanc-es but, unfortunately, it was never out of the thick tree cover long enough to get a good photograph.

Toward the end of our hike, we heard the drumming of ruffed grouse echo through the trees, but could not catch a glimpse of it.

DAY TWOWe headed off along

a different trail and were rewarded early with a rare sighting: an American bittern.

Rare for two rea-sons: They can be difficult to spot in the wild, due to their cam-ouflage — they freeze, standing in shallow ponds along shores, often looking like just another log or branch in the water.

This was even rarer because the bird was standing in the middle of the trail.

It’s unusual to find them on land like that.

Further on, passing a series of small ponds, we were lucky enough to spy a few wood ducks.

As we watched them, an old saying popped into my head: “Calm and unruffled

above, [probably] pad-dling like the dickens underneath.”

Part of the itinerary included a stop in the woods at the “Sugar Shack,” where we rest-ed and enjoyed some refreshment before heading on.

As I plodded along the path, I looked around at the budding May growth and tried to visualize how beau-tiful this area would be in autumn, when the deciduous trees burst forth in their tradi-tional fall reds and yel-lows, mixing with the conifers’ greens.

Another time, I promised myself.

Breaking out of the heavily wooded for-est into more open grassy areas near the Interpretive Centre, several white-tailed deer stopped to watch us. Their tails twitched and ears wiggled as they tried to determine if we were a threat or not.

While there is lim-ited hunting of some waterfowl here in the fall, these deer had nothing to fear because they are not hunted in Cape Tourmente.

As we exited from the trail onto the walk-way to the parking lot area, a flock of snow geese flew past us overhead, honking, as if to say, “Come back soon — we’ll see you in fall!”

It’s the time of year when everyone is starting to enjoy the warm weather, and with a trend towards the “staycation,” people are

investing in their backyards. “People are spending more time on their properties and starting

to spend more money on their landscape,” said Colin Lyons, owner of Lyons Landscaping. “Some of the renovations we’ve done are

outdoor living spaces, which is the big trend.” Designs incorporate larger patios and specialty outdoor cooking

areas. Landscapes are going greener with xeriscaping and drip irrigation. In addition, people are looking to minimize things that cost them extra time, mainly lawns, and opting for a shale or rock

mulch. It’s more expensive than a bark mulch, but lasts much

D E S I G Nlonger. Bark mulch will eventually turn into soil and grow weeds. People who do choose to keep their bigger yards have the option to hire landscape crews to take care of spring cleaning and maintenance. “Time is a big thing, people are realizing how much time they have,” Lyons said. “We are finding our maintenance crew is picking up a lot of that.”There is also a trend back to vegetable gardening, he said. People are making sure their planters have room for vegetables, whether for food or simply landscape fashion, and incorporating herbs and mints as well. Natural swimming ponds are also garnering some interest. The cool-down style pool costs about half the price of a traditional swimming pool. Lyons said they’ve installed three so far and two more coming up this summer. If you’re thinking about a renovation in your backyard, the first step is to make a plan: Meet with a few contractors and consider various ideas. Usually first consultations and quotes don’t cost anything, and going through the motions will spark an idea you can stick with. Even if you only have $500 to spend this year, put it towards design work and start on a bigger piece next year. “They didn’t build Rome in a day and that’s how people need to look at their properties,” Lyons said. “Everyone has a budget they need to stay within and having a plan will help them do that.”

The month of March saw a 36 per cent increase from last year in residential real estate sales volume.

The 27 per cent increase in unit sales brought sales to $63 million over last year’s $47 million.

Most sales fell between $320,000 and $360,000, with four sales of over $600,000.

The median residential price was $381,500.

Aberdeen saw the most homes sold, followed by Brocklehurst, North

Kamloops, South Kamloops, Sahali and

Westsyde. Since January, most of the

homes sold have been in Aberdeen.

The number of active listings is still

up from last year.

There were 526 new listings in

March, bringing the total of active

listings up to 1,969, up 10 per cent from

this time last year.

Spring is officially upon us.

The snow has melted and warmer

temperatures are beckoning us out of

doors once again — well, on this side

of the country at least. Even though

most of us will begin spending more

time outside, there is still no better

time to give your interiors a bit of a

pick-me-up. Here are a few easy ways to

freshen up your home and make it feel

like spring on the inside, too:

• Open up your windows. It’s

probably been a while since you’ve

opened a window, right? Well now is the time to fling those panes wide and let some fresh air flow through. The change may not be visible, but you’ll smell it and feel it.

• Bring some greenery inside. My favorite way to bring spring into my home is to place some fresh flowers in a vase or arrange a few blossoms in small vessels on my windowsill. Budding branches are just as beautiful, and if one of your trees needs a pruning then there’s all the more reason.

• Fresh paint. I’m certainly not an advocate of giving your home a fresh coat of paint seasonally or simply because Pantone delivered their “color of the year.” But, if you were planning on a change, now might be a good time to do it. You will have a better idea of how your walls will look with the new hue if you have adequate natural lighting. Additionally, even though most interior paints are latex based (i.e. lack a harsh smell) it’s still nice to open up a few windows.

• New bed linens. There’s really nothing like fresh, crisp bed sheets, am I right? So, for a good night’s sleep and for fashion’s sake, it’s time to switch out those flannel snowflake-print sheets and opt instead for some lightweight, breathable cotton. Can you almost smell them already?

• Add a punch of color. Anyone who knows me can tell you that I am a year-round colour lover, but spring gives us the opportunity to kick it up another notch. One of the most fun and easy ways to add colour to your décor without breaking the bank is to add some brightly colored throw pillows in cheerful prints. You can toss them on your sofa, on your bed or even on a hallway bench. See? Easy!

I don’t know about you but I’ve got spring fever and I can’t wait to throw open the windows, throw away the flannels and play up the season with some punchy prints.

VOLUNTEER WEEK

Each year, more than 13-million Canadians dedicate countless hours to causes that mean the world to them.

Whether you volunteer for a local minor hockey association, help out at a seniors’ centre or pitch in with a local nature organization, one person’s volun-teer contribution has the power to impact lives, while strengthening communities.

Next week — April 12 to April 18 — is National Volunteer Week, a week dedicated to both recognizing

the important contributions Canadians make to the places we live, as well as the positive impact volunteer-ing brings to the lives of the people who do it.

National Volunteer Week has a long legacy, originat-ing in 1943 to draw attention to the critical contribu-tions women made to war effort on the home front.

The initiative was revived in the 1960s to celebrate the growing engagement of civic participation across the country.

The United Way hosts Days of Caring throughout the year, days on which volunteers do good deeds in the community. Last July, staff from Teck Highland Valley Copper pitched in at Family Tree Family Centre. Senior community affairs officer Jacqui Schneider (left) worked with senior enviromental co-ordinator Amber Smith to install a new fence.

VOLUNTEER WEEK

Each year at the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), thousands of Canadians volunteer alongside conservation

staff to help care for some of this country’s most important natural places.

Events are designed to help the NCC care for the natural places under its protection, while offer-ing a blend of new experiences and new skills development all set to the backdrop of Canadian nature.

“We look at conservation vol-unteer events with the Nature Conservancy of Canada as adven-tures — we get to see new places, meet new and old friends and learn more about the natural world,” said NCC volunteers Barb and Steve Collier.

“We also get to do work we have never done before. If you think natural places are important, you need to become a conservation volunteer.”

Conservation volunteer events include removing invasive weeds, improving trails, shoreline clean-ups, tree planting and surveying species.

At such events, volunteers can pick up new skills and

hone old ones. For example, butterfly counts

and bird inventories put observa-tion and listening skills to the test.

Some will learn trade skills as they repair a boardwalk or build a nest box for the first time.

Participants learn how to become a citizen scientist them-selves. All the while, new friends are made, knowledge and experi-ences are shared.

Erica Thompson, national con-servation engagement director at the NCC, said the spirit of volun-teerism is a key ingredient to daily operations at the organization.

“Our volunteers contribute to conservation across a broad spectrum of activities,” said Thompson.

“Our conservation volunteers help us care for our properties and, in turn, we integrate educa-tional and skill-building opportu-nities into our volunteer days.

“Our hope is that our volun-teers will take home both a sense of accomplishment and discov-ery.”

Check out the volunteer oppor-tunities in the Kamloops area and beyond this spring and summer.

Volunteer Kamloops has been in the River City for 30 years.

To mark the mile-stone, it is highlighting its members through-out the year with a vol-unteer of the month.

Find profiles on each volunteer in Kamloops This Week at

the end of each month this year. Meanwhile, here are some things you should know about the organization:

• Volunteer Kamloops moved from its former location at 635 Victoria St., to its home at 705 Seymour St. about three years ago.

• While the organiza-tion was once a hub for volunteers and organi-zations in Kamloops, it has moved to a more hands-on focus, work-ing to help volunteers build skills and get out in the community.

• Between 400 and 500 volunteers come

through the doors at Volunteer Kamloops.

• Volunteer Kamloops offers a vari-ety of programs, includ-ing restorative justice, working with people who have mental-health illnesses, work-ing with those looking to build skills, those

with cultural barriers, youth and more.

• Non-profit orga-nizations that need a hand can work with Volunteer Kamloops to find the right people.

• Find weekly vol-unteer listings online at volunteerkamloops.org.

VOLUNTEER WEEK

Sean Simpson has seen a shift at Volunteer Kamloops.

The president of the organization is stepping down this year — the year of the organization’s 30th anniversary — to allow for “fresh energy” and said things have changed since he began volunteering for the non-profit seven years ago.

“We’re more geared toward making more of an impact with each person that we deal with rather than just being a hub, a general liaison,” he said.

That means interviewing people and working with them directly to build up their skills, whether that be presentation skills, people skills or others.

The change in focus comes with the growth of technology.

Non-profit organizations have largely taken to seeking out their own volunteers, something made a lot easier with websites and social media.

And, for those who know what sort of volunteering they’d like to do, it’s never been easier to search out opportunities online.

“That’s the big change in the last five or six years,” Simpson said.

While the organization once had a database of about 1,800 volunteers, Simpson said it now has somewhere between 400 and 500.

It has allowed staff to spend more

time with people who really need a hand — someone who may have lost their job, have emotional, physical or cultural barriers or who “are down on their luck.”

“Those are really the people who need it [Volunteer Kamloops],” Simpson said. “That’s a niche that’s been left behind by technology.”

Volunteer Kamloops continues to offer the services it has been known for including its Link program, which facilitates volunteers and organizations, and its FOCUS program, a partnership with the Interior Health Authority that sees people with mental health illness placed in volunteer position.

past, present & future.

Simply the BestThrift Store662 Seymour St

In 1985, The Kamloops Community Volunteer Service Society was registered with the BC Societies Act and is now known as Volunteer Kamloops with the purpose of recruiting and referring volunteers to not-for-profit agencies.

Volunteer Kamloops has grown and evolved under its mandate.

We are proud to have a large hand in helping to provide volunteers with opportunities both locally and province-wide for 30 years. It started with the Expo ‘86 World Fair held in Vancouver, BC and on to the 1993 ‘Jeux du Canada Games’ held in Kamloops. We continued with the 2010 Winter Games held in Whistler, BC and the 2015 BC Senior Games held right here in Kamloops, “The Tournament Capital of Canada”.

We also run a Volunteer Mentorship program tailored to short-term volunteer opportunities. Our Restorative Justice Program gives individuals a second chance by allowing them to participate in community service as part of their restitution. The FOCUS program provides meaningful volunteer opportunities to our mental health consumers to promote community awareness and involvement. We are looking forward to serving our community for another 30 years!

WE ARE CELEBRATING OUR 30TH ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR AND WOULD

LIKE TO THANK OUR MANY VOLUNTEERS AND

SPONSORS!

Volunteer Kamloopswww.volunteerkamloops.org

Through it all, our volunteers are our greatest natural resource! Thank you to all of our volunteers, past

and present, for thirty powerful years of “Engaging a community that volunteers!”


Volunteer Week would not be complete without recogniz-ing the work of local scouting youth — and they’ve been busy lately.

They are challeng-ing the community to make an extra effort

to be kinder to one another by perform-ing a good turn for a neighbour, family, friend or the commu-

nity during Scouts Canada’s sixth annual Good Turn Week, held from April 25 to May 3.

Good turns can be effort-less and can take as little as seconds to do.

And, the benefits extend beyond the recipient, helping to create hap-pier, friendlier and stronger communi-ties while providing youth empowerment and improved mental health.

A simple act of kindness has the power to make someone’s day and leave a lasting impression on lives.

Here are eight ways to make our commu-nity stronger during Good Turn Week:

1. Bake a special treat for your col-leagues

2. Buy a cup of cof-

fee for the person in line behind you

3. Donate gently used books to a local school, nursing home or hospital for others to enjoy

4. Pick up grocer-ies for an elderly neighbour when you are out running errands

5. Volunteer for a local charity or com-munity program

6. Gather a group and friends and family to do a spring clean up of a community space

7. Give a parent a night off. Offer to babysit for a friend,

neighbour or fam-ily member so they can have a date night

8. Get the kids to make thank you cards and deliver them to the local police or fire station

Started by Scouts Canada, Good Turn Week isn’t just for Scouts, it’s a nation-al movement. It is easy to partici-

pate, simply perform a good turn for someone and encourage the recipient to pay it for-ward, generating cycle of goodwill in the com-munity.

Share your good turn with Scouts Canada and the com-munity online at scouts.ca/goodturn or facebook.com/scout-scanada or by using the hashtag #goodturn on Twitter.

For more informa-tion about Good Turn Week, go online to scouts.ca/goodturn.

Open your eyes and look for some man, or some work

for the sake of men, which needs a little time, a little

friendship, a little sympathy, a little sociability, a little

human toil. Search and see if there is not a place

where you may invest your humanity. Do not be

satisfied without some sideline in which you may

give yourself out as a man to men!
