Innocence or ‘woven tapestry’ of lies? TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The story of a retired Kamloops teacher who claims to have no idea how discs of child pornography wound up stashed in his floor is “a carefully woven tapestry” of lies, a judge has been told. That was the prosecution’s closing argument on Thursday in Jerry Waselenkoff’s B.C. Supreme Court trial on possessing child pornography. The 66-year-old was charged after his downstairs neighbour, Franz van der Woning, uncovered a stash of discs containing child pornography while performing renovations in 2012. The discs were found in van der Woning’s ceiling, directly beneath a vent in a bathroom inside Waselenkoff’s condo. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said the case hinges on the testimony of van der Woning versus that of Waselenkoff. “Mr. van der Woning certainly presented as a common-sense individual,” Caputo said. “In my submission, the evidence of Mr. Waselenkoff is a carefully woven tapestry that accounts for everything that Mr. van der Woning said, but puts a spin on it favourable to the accused.” Earlier in the trial, van der Woning testified he found the stash of discs while running wir-
ing through his ceiling and phoned police after realizing their contents. A month later, he said, he heard someone in Waselenkoff’s apartment rustling around the area in his ceiling where the discs had been. A short time later, van der Woning said, Waselenkoff approached him and the two had a conversation about the missing discs. Court

heard van der Woning told Waselenkoff he had called police, and Waselenkoff reacted by talking about his reputation being harmed. According to Waselenkoff, however, he rustled around in the floor after van der Woning told him about the discs. In his testimony, Waselenkoff said he had no idea how the discs wound up beneath his bathroom floor vent, speculating they could have been left behind by Russian curlers who used to
spend extended time at his home while training in Kamloops. “Mr. Waselenkoff is at a loss to explain how the discs got there,” Caputo said. “We are speculating that somebody else could have, would have, did plant that child pornography inside Mr. Waselenkoff’s floor. “There is no other rational conclusion than to conclude that the discs belonged to Mr. Waselenkoff. His carefully woven explanation does not ring true.” Defence lawyer Glenn Orris said the Crown has not proven its circumstantial case. “The rule is fairly straightforward — the circumstance must be consistent with guilt and no other reasonable inference,” Orris said. “He [Waselenkoff] has stated emphatically that the discs are not his and he doesn’t know how they got there. He’s also given evidence about other people who had access to his apartment on a regular and ongoing basis. “There is opportunity for others to have placed those items there,” Orris said. “Clearly, in this case, not only is the circumstantial evidence consistent with another reasonable alternative, but it demonstrates that’s probably the case — that people other than Mr. Waselenkoff created these discs and hid them away. “He had nothing to do with it.”

Peterson Creek Nature Park Peterson Creek Nature Park encompasses 124 hectares of land from Columbia Street to upper Sahali neighbourhoods. Over 7km of designated nature trails meander through the park, with difficulty ratings ranging from green (easiest) to black (most difficult). Peterson Creek main entrance is located on Mayfair Street just off Columbia St. There you can find a lovely picnic area and 4 potential “lunchtime loops” which are walks that can be completed in under 45 minutes. Within the park is a natural creek corridor sustaining a variety of ecosystems, including native grasslands and Interior Douglas Fir forests. Look for an abundance of birds (meadowlarks, vesper sparrows, flickers), wildlife (coyotes, mule deer, bear) and specialized plants (mariposa lily, arrow-leaved balsamroot, Saskatoon) some rare and even endangered. Visitors may view the falls from the Falls View trail just off Billy Miner trail, or take in panoramic views of the Thompson Valley from the various lookouts along the Tom Moore trail. From the upper reaches of the park, one can visualize how the canyon was formed at the end of the last ice age, as large amounts of meltwater carved out the canyon we now see. Various nature walks and guest speakers series will be held in the park through the summer months, so check out the entrance kiosks for information on upcoming events.

BENEFICIARY OF AN ESTATE?
Food truck petition grows ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
An online petition to loosen rules governing food trucks in Kamloops has picked up more than 500 signatures and is headed to city council — but it’s unlikely change will be on the menu. Created by former council candidate Dustin McIntyre, the petition calls on the city “to create a model this year that can be a win for street food vendors, brick & mortar restaurants and consumers a like [sic].” While 544 people have supported that goal, two city councillors told KTW they don’t see what more the city can do this year. They also believe concerns should have been raised when the new rule changes for 2015 were up for public debate less than a month ago. “We had the public meeting. They could have come out,” said Coun. Pat Wallace, who called the late April public hearing on food truck regulations “well-advertised and it was poorly attended.” The latest changes gave trucks the ability to park on more types of private land, mainly industrial, and slightly extended morning operating hours. It also lowered to one — Gaglardi Square
at Seymour Street and Second Avenue downtown — the number of on-street sites where two trucks may park at a time. Last year, the city offered two sites for trucks. Food-truck owners at the hearing told council they want more on-street options on the North Shore, at city facilities and parks such as McArthur Island and outside the downtown core. They were also critical of the pace of the rule changes. The city is still accepting applications for this year’s on-street program, with its expression of interest set to close today. That would put trucks on the street downtown in June. Wallace said she wants to let business play out for the year and have council consider more changes before the 2016 truck season. While truck owners didn’t get everything they wanted, Wallace thinks they’re in a better position than they would be if the city had listened to other downtown business owners, who wanted to more than triple the fee food trucks must pay per day to park downtown. Mayor Peter Milobar told KTW he’s also not sure what the petition will accomplish.

sprinG festival
“We just had a public hearing and stuff in that petition was discussed at the public hearing,” he said. “We explained why, with McArthur Island having contracts already in place with concessionaires, it’s not as simple to open up to McArthur Island to food trucks.” Milobar also believes the city is doing what it can for truck owners. “I’m hard-pressed to see fundamentally what we’re doing differently than what they want,” he said. McIntyre said he’s not surprised there’s some resistance to his petition, but is hopeful it could make a difference. He would like to see a working group formed to look at what changes need to be made to truck regulations, including wider operating hours and more on-street spots. McIntyre does not think missing the public hearing means he and others can’t criticize council’s decision. “We had faith the city would make better rules for the food trucks,” he said. “And then we found out they didn’t.” The petition can be found online at change.org/p/city-ofkamloops-council-ease-restrictions-on-bylaws-rules-for-streetfood-vendors-in-kamloops-3.

If you are the beneficiary of an estate, it may seem that you are at the mercy of the executor, even if that person is lazy, incompetent, even dishonest. Fortunately, there is a range of legal remedies available to a beneficiary – from the citation of an executor who has not applied to probate, to an order that the executor reimburse the estate for losses, and all the way to the removal of an executor for egregious delays, incompetence, or dishonest dealings. If you are frustrated with an executor or suspect that the executor may be engaged in some kind of misconduct with regards to the estate, you should seek advice from legal counsel experienced in probate and estate matters.

VEHICLE DAMAGED IN RURAL AREA
jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com
Sometime overnight Sunday May 10th, a couple had gone on an overnight hike near the Fredrick Road area in the Tranquille Valley. The couple had parked in an open area near the trail. When they returned in the morning, the roof of their 2007 Toyota Corolla had been caved in. It appears that someone had jumped up and down on the roof of the vehicle causing thousands of dollars in damage to the car. Information has come to light that there was a grad party in the near area where the vehicle had been left. It is a good possibility that one of the party goers had caused the damage. If the suspects were from the grad party, this an opportunity to report these suspects. No one wants their vehicle vandalised and you would want the people responsible for the damage to pay for the damage. If you have any information on this wilful damage you can contact the police. If you want to remain anonymous, please contact Crime Stoppers, only your information will be used never your name.

THEFT OF FUEL FROM LOGGING EQUIPMENT On Sunday May 10th a logging contractor had gone to his work site in the Inks Lake area. When he approached his logging equipment, he noticed a pickup truck and two men standing near the equipment. The males said they were getting firewood for camping, and already had wood in the back of the truck. The males then departed the area, it was
right after that, the owner found the fuel lock had been cut off and approximately 200 litres of fuel had been stolen. The description of the males is somewhat vague both were Caucasian, one was age 35 and had bad teeth, the other male was in his 40’s. The truck is described as a newer F 350 with a silver tank in the box with a yellow pump, most
pumps are red. The victim noticed the pump was mounted in reverse to make easier to siphon fuel. This contactor over the last couple of weeks has had approximately 2000 litres of fuel taken.

The city is assuring home builders and developers their industry won’t be charged an arm and leg for continuing to grow the city. Speaking to the central Interior membership of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association (CHBA-CI) Wednesday, the city’s chief administrative officer David Trawin said their interests are the no. 1 priority when it comes to assessing how development cost charges (DCCs) are spent. DCCs are fees paid by developers to cover the cost development has on infrastructure. “I think council recognizes they need to be frugal with not only taxpayer money but the money the home builders and the construction industry provide,” Trawin said. “What we need to do as a city is make sure it still stays reasonable.” CHBA-CI president Matt McCurrach has stated lobbying the municipal government to keep DCCs down is a high priority for the association and the city can’t use them as a “cash cow.” From 2010 to 2014, $39.7 million was collected in DCCs. Two-thirds came from the residential building sector. It went toward 106 projects in the com-
BUILDING LOYALTY The CHBA-CI recognized longtime members for their dedication on Wednesday. Milestone awards were given to members who have remained loyal to the association for five to 30 years. Bill Bilton of Best West Realty was recognized for 50 years of membership. Bilton is the only founding member remaining. The Maple Leaf Award, presented to an outstanding member that is not a new home builder or renovator, went to Al Norgaard of Norgaard Ready Mix Ltd. The Beaver Award, presented to an outstanding builder or renovator, went to Tom Calne of Fulcrum Realty. The Handshake Award, presented to the builder or renovator who has worked with the most CHBA-CI members, went to A&T Project Developments Inc. The Rooftopper Award, given to the member who sponsored the most new members over the past year, went to Rick Kurzak of Kamloops Home Hardware and Nick Esser of Rona Home Centre. The Lifetime Community Builder Award, given to those who have exemplified outstanding dedication to the housing industry, was given to Enzo Lizzi of Excel Industries Ltd. and Kundan Bubbar, chief inspector for the City of Kamloops. — Jessica Klymchuk
munity worth of $197 million, of which $48 million was DCC money. One project was the $7.3-million expansion of the waste water treatment plant. In 1978, the DCC on a single-family residence was about $1,500. That number has climbed to $10,000. The city will review DCC numbers this year, but Trawin said he doesn’t expect them to rise. “I don’t perceive huge changes in that dollar figure,” Trawin said.
While commending the CHBA-CI’s 50th anniversary, Trawin noted changes the next 20, 30 and 40 years will bring in terms of how the community will build out. Land is running out fast, he said, and many areas will see more infill. “It’s very important this group continues,” Trawin said. “I think it’s very important that the membership continues and that your voice at city hall stays strong.”

Clover the Kermode’s coming-out party ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
When John Stark looks out on the fencedin compound, he doesn’t see 2.7 acres of trees, pools, boulders and shrubs. He sees a palace. “I call it the BearMahal,� the B.C. Wildlife Park business and development manager said. “There’s the Taj Mahal. Well, this is the Bear-Mahal because it’s an amazing thing.� Beginning this Victoria Day long weekend, visitors to the park will get a look at the enclosure’s rare resident who made it all happen. Clover the Kermode is making his debut. The blond black bear, rare in the wild and the only one of its kind in captivity, came to the park three years ago, but has been mostly out of view as a special $800,000 enclosure was built to house him. Stark said the wildlife park plans to eventu-
ally put its other three black bears into the new habitat as well, but the process will be slow and lengthy. For now, Clover is living without roommates. On a visit to the park earlier this week, KTW was able to catch a glimpse of the Kermode, also known as a Spirit Bear, as he lounged in the concrete denning area at the edge of the public viewing pen. A small cub when he first arrived, Clover is now a whopping 330 pounds — so big, Stark said, that even his keepers were surprised when they weighed him during his transfer to his new home last week. Stark said the bear is being introduced to the new area slowly, but should be roaming his new home freely this weekend. “What they want to make sure is, when he goes out into this large, 2.7-acre area, which I’ve never seen anything like in the world, he might

just stay out here for a while and not want to come back in,� Stark said. “So, he’s really got to know where he’s going to be fed all the time.� The new habitat is still a work in progress. While Clover’s portion is ready to go, along with a viewing platform for the public, only phase one of the project is complete. Phase two will include a second wheelchair-accessible viewing platform on the other side of Clover’s enclosure, where the second of two pools connected by a stream is installed, along with several shady spots for the bear to escape the summer sun. The water features will be spots to watch as Clover settles in. “He loves his water,� Stark said. Also in the works is an interpretive centre explaining Spirit Bears.

sprinG festival the central and north coast of the province, the only place Kermodes are found. They are also B.C.’s provincial mammal and illegal to kill. It’s that fact that saved Clover. Orphaned as a cub, Clover became habituated to humans and previous attempts to relocate him away from people failed. While a normal black bear would have been put down as a pest, he was sent to Kamloops. The move wasn’t without controversy. Animal-rights group Lifeforce set up a petition demanding the bear be freed, which attracted national media attention — but only about 900 signatures. Stark said it’s been some time now since the park has heard from Lifeforce.
“I give it to Glenn [Grant, general manager of the park]. He’s done such a good job of getting the message out there of why the bear’s here,� Stark said. “It was without a doubt the best thing for the bear. The bear would probably not have survived. Probably somebody would have ended up shooting it — which is totally against the law in British Columbia, but they’d say, ‘Oh, he was attacking me. He was in my yard ripping my garbage apart’.� Today, Clover is attracting international attention for different reasons. More than 25 busloads of Californian tourists will stop overnight in Kamloops this summer, hoping for a glimpse of the unusual bear.

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: The response by employers and sports teams to the louts who verbally assault female reporters with crude call-outs as those reporters try to do their jobs. The disgusting phenomenon sees Neanderthal males yell sexually explicit slogans at the reporters as they try to report from an event. Last week, Toronto CityNews reporter Shauna Hunt had enough and confronted some of these idiots outside a Toronto FC soccer game, resulting in a few getting one-year bans from BMO Field and one man reportedly getting fired from his $105,000-a-year job at Ontario’s Hydro One. Good for Hunt, Toronto FC and Hydro One.
OUR
NOT: The move by the provincial government to contract out laundry services at Interior Health Authority hospitals. If the plan is going to save the government $10 million over several years (by not buying needed new equipment), is it really worth doing at the expense of 20 family-supporting jobs at Royal Inland Hospital and many more elsewhere? Will trucking laundry into the Interior from Alberta or the Lower Mainland really save money? And how will the practice impact greenhouse-gas emissions? We agree with Kamloops Coun. Dieter Dudy, who argued the powers-that-be are taking a “nickel-and-dime approach” to the issue.
VIEW
HOT: Altruistic Kamloops residents like Karen Kopec-Repka, the Garbage Whisperer of the North Shore, who has taken it upon herself to spend time picking up trash across the neighbourhoods.

Sewage saga silence stinks
T
he city’s sewage fiasco has much more to do with the processes not followed and less to do with how damaging the sewage may have been to the environment. The focus of this sorry saga should be on the City of Kamloops’ stunning decision to hide from residents the fact its employees screwed up and allowed about five-million litres of sewage to drain into the South Thompson River last September. More interesting is how KTW learned this week that not even city councillors — save perhaps Mayor Peter Milobar — were told of the spill when it occurred eight months ago. Apparently, our elected representatives learned of it earlier this week, when the city was ordered to pay $30,000 in fines via creek-habitat work out past the airport and installation of alarms on its sewage system. More perplexing is how some at city hall essentially shrugged their shoulders when asked why the city kept the accident from the public for more than a half-year, until it appeared at an environmental justice forum on May 6 and was ordered to pay the fine. From public works director Jen Fretz to the mayor to city councillors Denis Walsh and Donovan Cavers, the uniform response has been there was no need to inform the public because there was no immediate threat to residents. Contrast that stance with the fact the City of Kamloops issues press releases on virtually every minor political bowel movement

MUSINGS emanating from city hall. The city is extremely active in the press-release department and should be commended for its robust dialogue, which makes the silence over the sewage spill so peculiar. In this case, it appears as though the city consulted the local RCMP on how to not release information that is in the public interest. A body in Kamloops Lake? Ah, we can wait a few days to report it publicly. Two Olympic-sized swimming pools full of crap flowing into the river? Ah, we can wait more than a few months to tell residents The initial mistake was an honest one — an employee turned the wrong handle and, instead of shutting down a sprinkler system, the action shut down a pipe leading to the Dallas lift station. The honest mistake was followed by a not-so-honest error when city employees in charge of checking computer readings every 12 hours failed to do so — for 13 days, from Sept. 15, 2014, to Sept. 28, 2014.
As Fretz told us, the initial mistake pales in comparison with the incompetence that followed, negligence she said has led to “very serious” discipline. Were employees fired? Suspended? Demoted? The city won’t say, but Fretz did add: “What was a huge, major error was this lack of following procedures and protocol.” One could argue the city itself committed a “huge, major error” in its lack of transparency with the public when it learned of the five-million-litre spill caused by negligence. One could argue the city also committed a “huge, major error” when it did not do as it was required to do and tell the Tk’emlups Indian Band, the Interior Health Authority and other agencies of the spill. Milobar told KTW the incident was not a major event, considering the volume of sewage relative to the volume of water in the river. He pointed to the $30,000 in fines as showing the incident was “very minor.” One might disagree with labelling as minor millions of litres of sewage flowing into the river. Nevertheless, if the spill itself was minor, the city’s cloak-anddagger response was not. The incident revealed a disturbing level of incompetence among those we pay handsome salaries. It also revealed the city’s utter disregard for its residents and makes one wonder what else has happened in Kamloops that has yet to see the light of day. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
UP IN SMOKE FOREST POLICY HAS TO STOP Editor: Thank you to KTW reporter Cam Fortems for his May 1 article on wood waste (‘Up in smoke’). I am pleased to see the discussion around wood waste in our area and province starting again. In 2008, our Unifor Local 10-b (CEP Local 10-b) moved forward with a wood waste information campaign to bring the wasting of our forest resources to the attention of the province and the public. This campaign included a rally in front of then-MP Betty Hinton’s office and meetings with then-MLA Kevin Krueger. We posted photos of piles of usable wood fibre. The length of the logs were anywhere from 40 to 80 feet and between 8 and 24 inches at the base, all piled and ready for the fall slash burn. But, this was not slash waste. It was clearly usable fibre being purposely wasted. Burning of usable wood fibre continues today. This past weekend, I witnessed evidence of this in the Roche Lake area. on the border of the provincial park boundary line (see photo to the right). We have to find a better way of dealing with the wasting of our forest resources. We have to find better ways of giving access to this usable fibre. The practice of allowing usable wood fibre to go up in smoke has to stop. Rene Pellerin Kamloops
RE: STORY: CITY OF KAMLOOPS FINED $30K FOR RELEASING SEWAGE INTO RIVER; PUBLIC WAS NOT NOTIFIED AT THE TIME:
“Mayor Peter Milobar said: ‘In the grand scheme of things, it’s not a large volume. In terms of what was happening, there wasn’t really much anyone could do once it had already happened.’ “Maybe this was small to you, Peter. If it’s so small, we should pump this amount directly into your house for you and your family to enjoy — oh, and not tell you.” — posted by Pacamo
WE SHOULD ALL BE LIKE KAREN
CLEAN IT WHEN IN THE CITY, TOWN UP, NOW WAS THERE TO HELP
Editor: Re: (‘The Garbage Whisperer,’ May 12): I would like to thank and compliment Karen Kopec-Repka. She is one awesome lady and I wish the rest of our city was populated with people like her. I can never understand why people willingly choose to litter on their own property. We as taxpayers pay for the cleanup of the garbage we drop and dump all over our town and in the hills around us. Thank you, Karen. Susan Beuachamp Kamloops
Editor: Last week, I came into Kamloops on the Rocky Mountaineer train. Your fine town would look much nicer if the trash, including an abandoned shopping cart, along the rail line were removed. Susan Enholm Tucson, Ariz.
Editor: On May 4, another woman and I had an unfortunate accident outside the office of TownBrothers.com, Royal LePage realtors on Seymour Street in downtown Kamloops. Matt Town of this company graciously and wisely helped us deal with the situation. I’d like to offer a public thank you. He’s obviously a busy man, but took the time needed to go the extra mile for us. A second man also helped, but disappeared before I could find out his name. Elma Schemenauer Kamloops

Mining watchdog head brings warning to city CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The head of a national watchdog organization is warning the public that mining companies cannot control every health and environmental concern, pointing to problems at another Canadian city next door to a working operation. Ugo Lapointe, who heads MiningWatch Canada, was in Kamloops on Tuesday, meeting with residents and First Nations on the open-pit copper mine
proposed for south of Aberdeen by KGHM Ajax. He said the best comparison for Kamloops is to look at the experience in Malartic, in northwestern Quebec. “When they got their decree in 2009, they said, ‘We’ll respect all regulations.’” Lapointe told KTW. “They can’t limit fine particulate, noise and vibration due to blasting — it’s not that they’re not trying. Reality is it’s a big mine close to a community.” A public report found levels of anxiety among some citizens of Malartic, particularly those who live closest to the mine, Lapointe said.
He also noted health affects will be greater with a larger population nearby. Lapointe said municipal authorities and residents should not take studies from consultants paid by the promoter to be the complete story. “Don’t trust all what the company tells you,” Lapointe said, noting promises and studies in Malartic. “It’s not a bad company [Yamana Gold Inc. and Agnico Eagle Mines Ltd.]. It’s just so big and close.” About 200 houses in Malartic were relocated to allow mining beneath part of the town.
Ajax foe upset council denied delegation request ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
An anti-Ajax organizer said it’s “unacceptable” that the head of a national mining watchdog organization wasn’t allowed to speak at Tuesday’s city council meeting. But, City of Kamloops staff say their policy against presentations on the mine isn’t new. John Schleiermacher told KTW he had applied to have Ugo Lapointe of MiningWatch Canada speak to council during his visit to Kamloops. While the request at first was approved, the city emailed back three hours later to tell Schleiermacher the presentation would not be allowed.
“Council is not accepting delegation presentations of this nature at this time,” deputy corporate officer Stephanie Nichols wrote. Schleiermacher isn’t pleased with the reversal. “This is unacceptable in my view,” he told KTW in an email. David Duckworth, the city’s head of corporate services, said staff are simply following a council directive from 2013 to keep the contentious copper and gold mine proposed for south of Aberdeen off council agendas. “Back in 2013, the city council of the day debated at great length about all the requests they were getting on the KGHM Ajax mine and they resolved, basically, that any delegations that wanted to

appear before council, either pro or con on the mine side or about the KGHM mine in general, they would no longer accept those delegations,” he said. Duckworth said staff deny about one in 10 requests to appear before council and are allowed to do so if the topic is deemed outside the mandate or jurisdiction of council. The MiningWatch delegation was briefly approved because of an internal error. Coun. Arjun Singh, who was on
council in 2013, defended the decision. “We had a run there where, every meeting, I think we had a delegation that was either pro or con Ajax,” Singh said. “And, given this thing is long-term — they’ve said they’re going to delay the application again, as I understand — we wanted to get all the information first, then start allowing those people to come back,” he said. Singh noted the same policy also keeps the mine’s spokespeople from coming to speak about the project and benefit from the added attention given to council meetings. “It’s not against one group or one stance,” Singh said. “It’s a very non-partisan approach,” he said.

Rangers ready for Bolts BARRY WILNER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — It would seem there are two certainties ahead for the New York Rangers. First, they will see some very familiar faces in the lineup of their opponent in the Eastern Conference finals: Tampa Bay’s Brian Boyle, Anton Stralman and, if he recovers quickly enough from an appendectomy, former captain Ryan Callahan. Second, they will play lots of one-goal games. The series opens Saturday at Madison Square Garden, which former Lightning players Martin St. Louis, Dan Boyle and Dominic now call home. New York has played 12 post-season games this spring and all were decided by the slimmest of margins, four in overtime, including Wednesday night’s 2-1 victory in Game 7 against Washington. The Rangers also had two one-goal outcomes at the end of the 2014 Stanley Cup final loss to Los Angeles; the 14 straight is a record. “You have to be smart,’’ captain Ryan McDonagh said after New York capped a comeback from a 3-1 hole in the series with Washington. “We talked about it . . . to make sure shifts are short and you don’t

get overextended out there. We’ve been in situations like that before and we trust each other out there.’’ It helps to have an all-world goalie like Henrik Lundqvist, who made 35 saves before Derek Stepan’s goal eliminated the Capitals. It helps to have no fear of overtime, in which the Rangers are 4-0 this spring, all by 2-1 scores. And, it doesn’t hurt to know you can handle the toughest situations. The Rangers, who had the NHL’s best record this season, are the only team to win a series after trailing 3-1 in successive years, doing the same thing to Pittsburgh in the second round in 2014.
New York has also won six straight Game 7s. “We have a good group that keeps their wits about them and keeps calm,’’ said Stepan, who was mobbed by his teammates along the glass as Madison Square Garden shook from the cheers. “There is no real panic. We just go out and play. We just see what happens and we just play hockey.’’ They haven’t played Tampa Bay since December, and the Lightning swept all three meetings. Boyle, a centre and penalty-killing fiend, and Stralman, one of the NHL’s most underrated defencemen, joined Tampa Bay as
free agents last off-season. Callahan was dealt for St. Louis at the trading deadline last year. Lundqvist was having few, if any, thoughts about his former teammates, and Steven Stamkos and Tyler Johnson, the Lightning’s top scorers. “I am going to enjoy this tonight and maybe tomorrow. I don’t even know when we start,’’ said the third goalie with six Game 7 victories, joining Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur. “It’s a team that we obviously had some problems with during the season. If there is one thing I learned throughout the year, it’s that the playoffs are a different story and I look forward to that challenge.’’ The Lightning eliminated Montreal in six games. They finished five points behind New York in the overall standings.
Western showdown Patrick Kane and the Chicago Blackhawks will fly into Anaheim to square off with Corey Perry and the Ducks in Game 1 of the Western Conference final on Sunday. Chicago made short work of Minnesota to reach the conference final, sweeping the Wild in four games. The Ducks needed five games to douse the Calgary Flames.

Promising season ended abruptly ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The WolfPack’s bats went cold at the wrong time. Entering the Canadian College Baseball Conference Championship as the league’s No. 2 team, Thompson Rivers University lost its first three games en route to an early exit from the Lethbridge tournament on Sunday. More than anything, head coach Ray Chadwick attributed the team’s losses to its performance at the plate. “We had the awards banquet the night before and they were reading out all these stats — how we led the league in hitting, we led the league in runs scored, extra-base hits, stealing bases,” he said. “We just picked the wrong weekend to stop hitting or for our bats to go cold. That’s what happened.” In their first three games of the tournament — a 6-2 loss to the Okanagan College Coyotes of Kelowna, a 2-1 loss to the University of Calgary Dinos and a 3-2 loss to the Vancouver Island Baseball Institute Mariners — the WolfPack had just 15 hits, only one of which Chadwick said was an extra-base hit. In the regular season, the club averaged nearly 10 hits a game. The story was much the same in the Pack’s final tournament game, in which they had just five hits en route to a 1-0 loss to the eventual national champions, the hometown Prairie Baseball Academy Dawgs. Without the bats going, the WolfPack’s pitching staff and defence didn’t have much to work with. The team trailed for most of the championship, only once holding a lead and then only for half an inning. Chadwick said the offensive woes were unexpected — despite splitting its last three weekends of the regular season, TRU won two games heading into the championship and seemed to

be peaking at the right time. Instead, the club fell flat. After playing in the championship final to end last season, failing to make the playoff round of the CCBC Championship left the team’s graduating players hanging up their WolfPack jerseys on a disappointing note. “It’s a tough one,” Chadwick said. “Again, with eight guys graduating and that being our ultimate goal since being in the championship game last year, and knowing what it felt like to lose that championship game [last season against PBA], it’s even worse for those guys graduating, knowing there’s no chance of being in it this year.” DIAMOND CUTS — Five members of the WolfPack were named to the CCBC’s first all-star team, while another three were named to the second. Evan Douglas, Ethan Mohan, Luc Simpson, Alex Reid and Brendan Reid were named to the first team and Tony Tabor, Erik Herbranson and Mike Riddle were named to the second team. . . . Mohan also finished the season and the CCBC’s top hitter. Mohan had a batting average of .413, with 33 hits, 21 runs two home runs and nine triples. . . . Simpson was the co-winner of the RBI title, with 26 runs batted in. . . . The WolfPack was named the league’s best hitting team, with 274 hits, 43 doubles, 16 triples, seven home runs and 121 walks.

Canada’s next great Henderson
YOU
C
LAW
SPORTS anada’s best female golfer is one of the hottest commodities in the sport these days, but Brooke Henderson is still getting the cold shoulder from the Ladies Professional Golf Association. Only two LPGA stars, Lydia Ko and Lexi Thompson, have won professional tournaments at age 17 or younger, and both almost immediately received a free pass to LPGA membership, with the age limitation (18) being waived. Henderson should be next, but LPGA commissioner Michael Whan continues to deny Henderson’s requests for a special exemption. Her breakthrough seems to be imminent. The native of Smiths Falls, Ont., plugs along, playing occasionally when she is allowed, dominating at times, competing on at least equal basis with the world’s best. Last year, at 16, she finished 10th in the U.S. Open, which earned her an automatic berth in this June’s Open. She turned pro a couple of months ago and has been playing on the minor league Symetra Tour, with the occasional sponsor’s exemption appearance on the LPGA Tour. In back-to-back LPGA starts in late April, she finshed third and 13th, leading after three rounds in the Swinging Skirts in California and holding the second-round lead at the North Texas Shootout the next week. Third and 13th in consecutive starts and still Whan says no dice. Come back when you’ve grown up, girl. Henderson, who turned down a fouryear scholarship offer from University of Florida to play professionally, is currently Canada’s most successful golfer. She’s not the wealthiest — the DeLaets, Hearns and Hadwins on the PGA Tour play for purses five or 10 times more lucrative than the
BRUCE PENTON women play for — but she has garnered the most top 10s and the most headlines. “[Missing a playoff by one stroke at the Swinging Skirts] definitely helped my confidence. Finishing solo third and having a chance to win on Sunday was a lot of fun,” Henderson said after a second-round
65 in Texas the next week. It’s obvious Henderson has what it takes for success on the women’s pro circuit: She’s good looking, confident in media interviews, very mature for her age and obviously has the skills to compete. She could be the next superstar on the LPGA Tour, and it would seem to be in the LPGA’s best interests to fast-track her membership. • Dwight Perry of the Seattle Times: “The Philadelphia Eagles reworked their home schedule to accommodate the Pope’s September visit. Alas, no such luck avoiding the Cardinals.” • Blogger Bill Littlejohn: “The ref-

LIVE WELL HEALTH TIP:
CLEANSING Detox Your Body Naturally If you’re feeling sluggish, have low energy, or are having difficulty concentrating, it could be time for an internal cleanse. Your body regularly detoxifies itself by eliminating toxic materials through the kidneys, liver, colon, and bodily excretions. Cleansing boosts the body’s ability to perform this detoxification more thoroughly. Come in and learn more from our knowledgeable staff. Hydration Proper hydration facilitates the detoxification process. It is recommended to drink onehalf of your body weight in ounces of water per day. Also, a daily supplement of essential fatty acids, such as omega oils, lubricates membranes allowing for optimal performance and the removal of toxins.
Fibre Daily intake of 50% soluble and 50% insoluble fibre is essential for the removal of toxins. Soluble fibre absorbs the toxins that have been eliminated by the liver, without dehydrating the colon. Insoluble fibre works to sweep the toxins off of the intestinal walls to allow for removal.

THE
CREDIBILITY IMPORTANT IN INJURY CASES f you’ve been hurt in a car crash, your credibility is very important in proving your claim for Idamages – especially if your injury is a “whiplash” or soft tissue injury. With whiplash, there may be no objective evidence. Your subjective reports of pain and limited movement may be the only “proof” of your injury. It’s essential that you are honest and don’t exaggerate or inflate the effects of the accident. The defence may challenge your credibility, which happened with Darryl. He provided lawn maintenance services. As a result of a car accident, he suffered soft tissue injuries to his neck, right shoulder and back, which affected his ability to work and enjoy life. Daryl called four witnesses – himself, his wife and two men who had worked for him. He also relied on the written reports of a doctor who saw him at a walk-in clinic, a specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and an occupational therapist. The defence relied mainly on 10 hours’ of surveillance videotapes of Darryl, arguing the videoptapes showed his injuries weren’t as bad as he reported. The court cited the earlier case of Price v. Kostryba, where the judge said: “The assessment of damages in a moderate or moderately severe whiplash injury is always difficult because plaintiffs, as in this case, are usually genuine, decent people who honestly try to be as objective and as factual as they can.” But, added the judge, courts “should be exceedingly careful when there is little or no objective evidence of continuing injury and when complaints of pain persist for long periods extending beyond the normal or usual recovery.” In Darryl’s case, the court said his testimony and evidence was “generally reliable.” Even though he often overstated the facts, this was due to a tendency to speak in extreme statements, not because he was trying to mislead the court. For his pain and suffering, Darryl received $55,000 (the defence argued he should only get between $10,000 to $20,000). For his past loss of income, he received $30,000 (the defence argued this amount should be between $5,000 to $10,000). He also received $60,000 for future lost income (the defence claimed he shouldn’t get anything for this). However, in another case, a young woman’s credibility was tripped up by her own Facebook pictures. She claimed $40,000 in pain and suffering for a whiplash injury, testifying at trial that she couldn’t kayak, hike or bicycle anymore. The defence contradicted this by producing photos posted on her Facebook page showing her doing these exact activities. The court assessed her damages at $3,500. Consult a lawyer if you’ve been injured in an accident. He or she may recommend that you keep a diary of your pain and how the injury affects your daily life, as a daily record can be helpful in supporting your claim. Be truthful throughout the legal proceedings, and you should be viewed as a credible witness. This will help significantly in advancing your claim.

KELOWNA CAPITAL NEWS
The biggest hockey crowd in 11 years at Prospera Place showed up hoping to see another piece of Western Hockey League history written by their Kelowna Rockets. They weren’t disappointed. In front of a capacity audience of 6,428, the Rockets defeated the Brandon Wheat Kings 3-0 on Wednesday night to sweep the WHL championship series in four games, claiming their fourth Ed Chynoweth Cup title since 2003. “To jump off the bench and throw your helmet and gloves off is a great feeling,” Rockets captain Madison Bowey said. “You don’t get it too often, to achieve it with a great group of guys like this is special and it’s something we’ll remember for the rest of our lives.” The teams were scoreless through two periods Wednesday,
before the Rockets big guns stepped up early in the third with a pair of shorthanded goals. Leon Draisaitl tipped a pass from Bowey past Jordan Papirny for his 10th playoff goal at the 1:10 mark. Just 19 seconds later, Rourke Chartier was the beneficiary of a gaffe by Papirny, stealing the puck and depositing it in the open cage for his 13th goal of the playoffs and a 2-0 Kelowna lead. Nick Merkley added some insurance with his fifth of the post-season with 5:30 to play, while Jackson Whistle stopped all 19 shots he faced for his fourth shutout of the 2015 playoffs. Draisaitl, acquired from the Prince Albert Raiders in January, finished the post-season with 10 goals and 28 points and was named the WHL playoff MVP. The German-born player, who played the first half of the season with the NHL’s Edmonton Oilers, has
no regrets with his move to Kelowna. “It’s unbelievable. As a hockey player, you want win championships and I think once you’re there, it’s an amazing feeling,” Draisaitl said. “I’m extremely proud of every single guy on our team, we’ve worked so hard all year. I’m very proud.” The Rockets’ fourth WHL championship win came under the guidance of a relatively young coaching staff, with first-year head man Dan Lambert at the helm and rookies Kris Mallette and Travis Crickard serving as assistants. Rockets president and GM Bruce Hamilton said between the work of the coaching staff and the commitment of the players, it’s little wonder his team had success in the playoffs. “I couldn’t be more proud of three young coaches that did a great job and a great group of guys that we had, “
Hamilton said. “When we made the deals we did, it takes a long time to get your team moulded and come together in the right time. There were bumps along the way but I couldn’t be more proud of the players and our entire staff, they gutted it out and have done a great job.” For Dan Lambert’s part, the first-year bench boss was thrilled his team could close out the WHL championship in front of the hometown faithful. “Awesome, excited to do it in front of our home fans, I think that maybe that was the best thing,” Lambert said. The Rockets will be making their fifth appearance at the Memorial Cup, the first since 2009. The team will leave on May 20 for the tournament in Quebec City. Kelowna’s first game will be May 22 against the host Quebec Remparts.

Canadians advance to world championship semi CAROL SCHRAM
THE CANADIAN PRESS
PRAGUE — Defenceman Brent Burns had two goals and two assists as Canada routed Belarus 9-0 in quarterfinal action yesterday at the World Hockey Championship. The impressive offensive showing moved Canada into
the semifinals for the first time in six years. Canada had been eliminated in the quarter-final round at the five previous world championships. “It’s nice to put ourselves in a position to get to the finals,” team captain Sidney Crosby said. “The important thing is to get better every game and, at
this point, you’ve got to be at your best. It’s win or go home, so we did a good job today.” The win also pushed Canada’s alltime record against the Belarusians to a perfect 8-0 at the world championships. The Canadians struck quickly when Burns scored his first of the tournament just 27 seconds after
the opening faceoff. Forward Tyler Seguin added three goals to tie for the tournament lead with nine, while Ryan O’Reilly scored twice. Tyler Ennis and Jason Spezza also scored. Canada now has 58 goals over the first eight games of the tournament. That beats the all-time tournament record
since NHL players started participating in 1977. Canada also held the previous record, scoring 57 goals over 10 games in 1989. The Canadian defence held the Belarusian top line of brothers Sergei and Andrei Kostitsyn and Alexei Kalyuzhny off the scoresheet. The trio combined
NDP welcomes auditor general probe of stadium WINNIPEG — Manitoba’s governing NDP says it welcomes an auditor general investigation into the construction of Winnipeg’s CFL stadium amid allegations it was rushed, poorly planned and overbudget. Premier Greg Selinger said he’s not afraid of an audit into the construction of Investors Group Field and defended the project, which is now the subject of a lawsuit. “The auditor general is an independent officer. They are completely free to investigate any of these things. We have no problem with that,’’ Selinger said yesterday. “We’re very proud of the building. We
think it’s making a big contribution to Winnipeg.’’ The owners of the stadium, which will host the Grey Cup this fall, have filed a lawsuit alleging the architect and builder should be made to pay for extensive repairs it alleges are due to faulty design and construction. The stadium has been plagued by leaks, insufficient insulation to keep plumbing working in winter and poor drainage. It also needed immediate renovations to make it usable for concerts and its press box was unheated. A construction company, in turn, alleges the owners and the provincial government approved the design without
regard for such issues and alleges the project may have been rushed. None of the allegations put forward by either side have been proven in court. The stadium, which was initially budgeted to cost $115 million, cost $209 million and was completed in 2013. Manitoba’s opposition has been calling for the auditor general to look into whether the NDP rushed construction of the stadium and whether the project made good use of tax dollars. Selinger said he can’t comment on the lawsuit, but “obviously everyone wanted to get it built’’ because the old stadium “had some real risks attached to it.’’ — The Canadian Press
for 26 points in the seven-game preliminary round. Mike Smith stopped 23 shots to record his first shutout of the tournament. “It was just a bonus,” Smith said. “The way they play in front of me is the most important.” Canada will square off with the Czech
Republic tomorrow. The gold-medal game will be played on Sunday. Elsewhere, the United States advanced with a 3-1 win over Switzerland. The Americans will play the Russians, who defeated Sweden 5-3 in quarter-final play yesterday. — With files from The Associated Press
SENS OWNER MELNYK IN NEED OF TRANSPLANT
Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk urgently needs a liver transplant and the NHL club has put out a call for a potential live donor. The team said Melnyk was admitted to hospital three weeks ago due to liver-related complications. His family has reached out to close friends and relatives with the hope of finding a suitable donor candidate, but hasn’t been successful, the team said. In a news release, the team said it and the Melnyk family are looking for “any members of the public who may be interested in being a live liver donor.” This process involves the removal of a portion of the living donor’s liver so it can be transplanted into the recipient patient. — The Canadian Press

September 10, 1927 – May 12, 2015
June 2, 1934 - May 13, 2015
In the early morning, as the dancing stars drew her away, the first rays of the sun carried mom’s spirit to join that of her husband. Mom was born to John and Sofia Leaf on September 10, 1927 in Kamloops, but spent her youth in the Finnish community of Solsqua - Cambie. She lost her father in July 1945 and helped her mother care for her younger siblings. Her mom, Aiti, left us in June 1981. Mom had two older half-siblings Erik in Finland and Mary Hantula who came to live in Solsqua. She also had two sisters, Elsie Burt and Helvie Saari, and her little brother Ray Leaf. Mom’s only remaining sibling is her sister Elsie. She also leaves behind Ray’s wife Val and Dad’s sister Carol Bates. Mom was married to Robert Owen Jones in October 1950. She always said he was a good catch because he was a railwayman. Sadly their love affair would come to an end May 7, 1983 when we lost our amazing father. They had some fabulous years together raising five children in Revelstoke, Hammond, Kamloops, and Cranbrook. Eldest son Robert Jr. (Bob) also became a good railwayman, and is left to cherish Mom’s memory with his partner Fran and his five children: Cori (Josh); Sherri (Brian); Megan (George), and Robert (Stephanie)--a third generation railwayman. Sadly we lost Bob’s daughter, Janet (George) in 2010. The next child to come along was daughter Marilyn Anderson (Donovan) who, with her three children Sarah (Justin), Christopher (Crystal), and David (Samantha) will forever treasure all of the special moments they shared with Mom. The next son was Dick (Debbie) and with children David (Stephanie) and Jennifer (Travis), Mom’s feisty spirit will be remembered and will live on. Youngest son Darrell (Elizabeth) and their two children Zachary and Jessica (Jeremiah) will long remember Mom’s laughter and her stories, and will keep her close to their hearts. Finally, the baby, Lori Bregoliss who, with husband Paul and their two sons Ryan (Allison) and Sammy J will honour Mom’s love of family and zest for life. Mom and dad had some memorable times together, spending many years sharing their mutual passion for politics. Mom loved being in the campaign offices especially if R O was running. She lived for helping the community and others less fortunate. One of her first jobs was working as a nurse’s aide in the hospital in Revelstoke. She spent hours working with the Royal Purple and the Elks Lodge. She was also a passionate caregiver; it seemed there was always someone extra at the dinner table that Mom was helping out, be it a railway friend of Dad’s, one of her children’s friends, or in the later years helping support those with intellectual disabilities. She spent many summers at her cabin on the Shuswap, enjoying the company of family and friends, and always made sure we swept the deck before we left. After selling the cabin she continued to enjoy weekends at her trailer in Chase. Her retirement years were spent living downtown. Mom was a very independent woman, and relished the freedom of being able to get everything she needed with just a short walk, perhaps with some time spent just sitting and people watching. Mom was a great cook, famous for her broccoli bake, which has become a family tradition. Her grandchildren will always remember her for her scrambled egg and peanut butter sandwiches or pancakes after a sleep over. We will make sure that the youngest members of the family, her nine great-grandchildrenTanner, Tyler, Emilie, Hunter, Hailey, Emmaline, Josh, Aaron and Gordon and two more expected this summer--and her great-greatgrandson Max will know what a special woman she was. In her last years we were blessed that mom was cared for by the loving staff at Ridgeview Lodge. Alzheimer’s takes a person away in pieces but the staff at Ridgeview made sure Mom’s life was full and whole. Her final days were spent sharing quiet visits with her children and their spouses and some laughter filled evenings with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. They shared family stories and a few last sips of beer; she did not want to leave that party. We love you more than words can speak, say hi to Dad, hope he has a CC and water waiting for you. There will be a graveside service for Mom at the Solsqua-Cambie Cemetery on May 23 @ 11:00 am with a social at mom’s old stomping grounds, the Cambie Hall, following the service. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer’s Society, or give someone a hug.
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, Yvette McNutt on May 13, 2015. She spent her final days at her home supported and surrounded by her family. She was predeceased by her loving husband, William, son Darryl, and her sisters Marion, Julie, Obeline, Geraldine, Florence and her brothers Danny, Leo, and Alfonse. She is survived by her sister Lynn, her sons Robert McNab (Debbie), Frank McNab (Grace) and her daughters Deb Bland (Robert) and Donna Croft, grandchildren Cathy, Bryan, Jason, Justin, Erin, Robert, Morgan and Charmaine; her great-grandchildren Austin, Joshua, Evan, Penny, Charlotte, Kevin, Ava, Benson, Peyton, Kaiden, and Grayson as well as numerous nieces, nephews, relatives and friends. She was born in St. Boniface, Manitoba and made her home in Fort St. John and Kamloops, BC. Mom spent her years raising her five children and enjoyed being a homemaker, and was very active with the Cornerstone Baptist Church. Her early hobbies included camping, and fishing, and in her later years, she enjoyed sewing and baking. But what she loved most of this world, was to spend time with her family. The family would like to express their sincere gratitude to the staff of the Royal Inland Hospital, 7 North medical and nursing staff, the Renal Unit as well as the home support team. A special thanks to Pastor Zac for his spiritual guidance and support to both mom and the family. We are blessed for the gift of her life and we will forever cherish the moments we were able to spend with her. There will be no memorial service, however; we will be having a celebration of her life on Monday, May 18, 2015 at 2:00pm at 656 Cooper Place, Kamloops, BC. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

YOUR CREMATION EXPERT
Good Questions, Honest Answers Q: Doesn’t prepaying give my family peace of mind? A: It might, but two things can go haywire. First, Mom tells the kids “It’s all paid for...” and it turns out it isn’t. Second, if the funeral home puts your money in trust, and you change your mind, they can keep 20%, plus a lot of interest. That’s not peace of mind. Call me for details and to protect yourself.

ROBERT “BOB” PARSONS 1947 - 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce Robert Parsons passed away on April 29, 2015 after a lengthy illness. Being a great lover of music, “Bob” left this world just the way he would have liked it….listening to his favorite songs with his family by his side. Bob was born in Vancouver, BC on May 6, 1947 to Helen and William Parsons. He had seven brothers and sisters. He had many fond memories of spending summers out at Green Lake when he was young and enjoyed telling stories about the fun he had with his cousins and the mischief they would get into. Bob was a smart and honest man with a great sense of humor, whose witty remarks and sparkle in his eye always made people smile. Bob was kind and could not say no to anyone (except his kids of course!), however had a stubborn steak that will not soon be forgotten. Bob met his wife Lynda during one of those memorable summers when he spent time with family in Clinton. They were friends as children, and reconnected years later and married. He had three daughters and a son, all of whom he loved very much. “Clean your room” and “It’s just as easy to be five minutes early as it is to be five minutes late” will be etched into their minds forever. He will be deeply missed by his immediate and extended family. Bob had two passions – ocean fishing and his job. He loved ocean fishing, and spent many family vacations on Vancouver Island. He loved the thrill of the “big catch” and spent countless hours out in the boat. He was happiest when he was at the ocean, and spoke often about “going back to the ocean one last time”. Sadly this did not happen. His second passion was his job at Highland Valley Copper Mine where he worked as a shovel operator for 35 years. Bob had a work ethic like no other, and considered the men he worked with his second family. Up until the day he passed away, he spoke of being on Shovel #19. Bob is survived by loving wife, Lynda; daughters, Tammy (Don) and Stacey (Tom); son, Bobby; son-in-law, Robin; father-in-law, Bruce; grandchildren, Taylor, Jacob, Jonathon, Jasmine, Rosslynd, Claire, Hailey, Trinitie, and Noah; sisters, Jean and Darlene and numerous nieces and nephews. Bob was predeceased by his parents Helen and William Parsons, his three brothers and two sisters, and daughter, Tricia.

t was 1959. I was three years old, sitting between my father and one of his employees in the front seat of his 1957 Plymouth station wagon. It was the era before seatbelts. My three older brothers were in the back seat and we were travelling on the highway outside of Calgary. A car approaching from a side road failed to stop and my father T-boned him in a horrific crash. My father was able to brace himself somewhat against the steering wheel and two of my brothers sustained minor injuries. The man beside me, a cook at the school where my father was principal, used his arms to grab me instead of bracing himself against the dashboard. He went through the windshield and

They thought I was dangerously hurt, but none of the blood was mine —I didn’t have a scratch on me. The blood was from the man who saved me.

but I don’t really know what ultimately happened to him. I do know he saved my life that day. The Bible talks a lot about blood. I have an exhaustive concordance, a reference book that lists every word in the Bible and the verses where they are located. The word “blood” is used 406 times. In the Old Testament, blood is often used in the context of animal sacrifice. The animals brought for sacrifice (lambs, kid goats, calves or doves) had to be without blemish. In other words, you could not bring a deformed or injured animal to present to the priests for sacrifice. It had to be perfect. The reason people brought an animal to be sacrificed was mainly for a sin offering. To prove your remorse over the sins
you had committed, you brought a spotless, innocent animal to the priest. He would sacrifice the animal and sprinkle its blood on the altar, a symbolic atonement for the sins of the one making the offering. The writer of the Book of Hebrews says: “Without shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness.” Blood sacrifice is essential for spiritual cleansing. Jesus is often called “the Lamb of God.” Because he is regarded as sinless and shed his blood on our behalf on the cross of crucifixion, he is the symbolic lamb of sacrifice. Christ is often depicted in stained glass and other religious art as a lamb. Christians regard Jesus’ sacrifice as complete, rendering it unnecessary to sacrifice animals
to atone for sins. The blood of lambs is what was used by the Israelites in Egypt to escape the Angel of Death, sent to strike down all the first-born of the Egyptians holding them in slavery. They were instructed to sacrifice a lamb and put its blood on the doorposts of their homes. And God said to Moses: “When I see the blood, I will pass over you and no plague will befall you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.” To this day, observant Jews celebrate the Passover of their deliverance. It is interesting to note the first people to witness the arrival of Jesus were lowly shepherds. The shepherds guarding their flocks by night in the area of Bethlehem weren’t watching over ordinary sheep.
These were lambs bred especially for sacrifice in the temple. Jews travelling from afar to worship at the temple wouldn’t bring a lamb with them —they bought them from local shepherds. And it is to these shepherds whom the angel first announced the birth of Christ. When Jesus approached John the Baptist at the River Jordan, John cried out: “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” The Apostle Paul urged the leaders of the new Christian faith “to shepherd the church of God which he purchased with his own blood.” Christians regard the blood of Christ as the ultimate atonement for sin, which protects us from eternal death—a kind of Christ/lamb Passover. In order to commemorate that blood
sacrifice, all true Christians participate in the ceremony of communion, in which bread and wine is taken in memory of Christ’s blood sacrifice. We do this because of what Jesus himself said: “He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life — and I will raise him up on the last day.” We are all cleansed from sin and redeemed by the blood of Christ, the Lamb of God. Like me, you’ve been saved from certain death — eternal death — by someone else’s blood.

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada wasted no time yesterday as it summarily rejected the federal government’s bid to have former Guantanamo Bay prisoner Omar Khadr declared an adult offender. The case — the third time the Khadr file has come before the high court — centred on whether the eight-year war-crimes sentence he got from a U.S. military commission in 2010 ought to be interpreted as a youth or adult sentence. The federal government has argued the latter, saying Khadr actually received five concurrent eight-year terms for each of his five war crimes — a conclusion the nine justices rejected in a rare decision from the bench. “The sentence is under the minimum for an adult sentence,’’ Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin told the court after about 30 minutes of midday deliberations that immediately followed the end of the hearing. “We are of the view that a proper interpretation of the relevant legislation does not permit Mr. Khadr’s eight-year sentence to be treated as five distinct eight-year sentences to be served concurrently.’’ McLachlin ordered the appeal dismissed with costs and confirmed the earlier order of the Alberta Court of Appeal that Khadr’s sentence should be served in a provincial facility. Dennis Edney, the lawyer with whom the 28-year-old Khadr lives in Edmonton under strict bail conditions, said the swiftness of the ruling was a message to the Harper government for wasting taxpayer money on “persecuting my client.’’ Standing in the vast marble foyer of the country’s highest court, Edney repeated the accusation he first levelled at Prime Minister Stephen Harper last week. “I come to the conclusion . . . Mr. Harper is a bigot,” he said. “Mr. Harper doesn’t like Muslims and there’s evidence to show that.’’ After almost 13 years in custody, Khadr was released on bail last week while he appeals his U.S. conviction, which has drawn fierce criticism from legal and human rights experts. Khadr was 15 when he threw the grenade that killed U.S. Sgt. Christopher Speer during a firefight in Afghanistan in July 2002. Canada has extradition relations with some 83 countries, all of whom want assurances an offender transferred here will serve their intended sentence, Department of Justice lawyer Sharlene Telles-Langdon argued during the hearing. Several members of the panel challenged Telles-Langdon during her 50-minute oral argument before a packed courtroom. It was the third time the Supreme Court sided with Khadr. They ruled in 2008 Canadian officials acted illegally by sharing intelligence information about him with his U.S. captors and, in 2012, found Ottawa had violated his constitutional rights when Canadian agents interrogated him in Guantanamo Bay despite knowing he had been abused beforehand.

NATIONAL NEWS Supreme Court won’t hear JUDGE TELLS JURY TO DROP ONE OF appeal in deadly ferry sinking FOUR TERROR CHARGES AGAINST COUPLE THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has abruptly ended the legal campaign of a man who was at the helm of a British Columbia ferry that slammed into an island and sank. The high court announced yesterday it would not hear the appeal of Karl Lilgert’s convictions on two counts of criminal negligence causing death. Lilgert was convicted by a jury in 2013
and sentenced to four years for the deaths of Gerald Foisy and Shirley Rosette, who disappeared when the ship went down in March 2006. While he had been free while appealing the case, Lilgert turned himself in last December before the Supreme Court ruled on his case. As usual, the judges gave no reasons for not hearing the appeal. At his B.C. Supreme Court trial, the jury believed the Crown’s
explanation Lilgert missed a scheduled turn and rammed the ferry into a remote island because he was distracted by his exlover, who was on the bridge with him for the first time since they’d ended their relationship. A lawyer for Foisy’s daughters said they accepted $200,000 because legal costs were making it impossible to go to trial. The settlement by Rosette’s family wasn’t made public.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A B.C. Supreme Court judge has directed a jury to enter a not-guilty verdict for one of four charges against a couple accused of plotting to blow up the provincial legislature. Justice Catherine Bruce told jurors that due to legal reasons they will not be required to make a decision on count three of the indictment — knowingly facilitating a terrorist activity. “You will not be required to come to a decision about the guilt or innocence of the accused on this count in
the indictment,’’ Bruce said Thursday. “You must accept as matter of law that the accused cannot be convicted of this charge and you must not speculate as to why this has occurred.’’ John Nuttall and Amanda Korody pleaded not guilty to a total of four charges. The remaining charges are conspiring to commit murder, conspiring to place explosives on behalf of a terrorist group, and possessing explosives on behalf of a terrorist group. They are accused of leaving three homemade pressurecooker bombs on the grounds of the legislature on Canada
Day in 2013. After the judge’s ruling, defence lawyer Marilyn Sandford opened her case by presenting a series of new audio and video clips, mostly showing secretly captured conversations between the couple when they were alone. Neither Nuttall or Korody are expected to testify, and Sandford said she will not be calling any witnesses. The Crown has spent several weeks showing extensive video captured by undercover RCMP officers involved in an elaborate police sting that ultimately led to the charges.
OFFICE SPACE FOR LEASE TAX AUTHORITIES RAID UBER OFFICES THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Quebec tax authorities have raided two Montreal offices of Uber, the company that offers rides at prices lower than typical cab fares. About 20 investigators executed search warrants on Thursday seeking tax-related documents, said Stephane Dion, a spokesman for the province’s revenue agency. “The investigation has been going on for several months,’’ Dion

said in an interview. “At the moment we have 20 investigators on the premises of Uber Canada Inc. The goal is to obtain as much information as possible and these documents will then be analyzed. After that, we’ll be able to determine whether charges will be laid. “Revenu Quebec is responsible for applying tax laws. We have the power to recommend that charges be laid. And they can be accompanied by fines
and prison sentences of up to five years if individuals or the company are found guilty.’’ Dion refused to say whether any individuals were being targeted. Asked for reaction, Uber spokeswoman Susie Heath said in an email that “we look forward to continuing to work with all stakeholders in Quebec to foster innovation, create jobs, and provide consumers with much needed affordable transit options.’’
The raids were conducted just more than two weeks after the City of Montreal announced it had seized 40 of the company’s vehicles since the beginning of the year. Uber’s UberX service uses a smartphone app that links clients to drivers in privately owned vehicles, without a taxi licence, to provide rides that cost less than cab fares. The city and the province consider UberX a form of illegal transport.
COMMUNITY SERVICE FOR INSTAGRAMMING STREET ART THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — A woman found guilty of criminal harassment after posting a photo of graffiti depicting a senior Montreal police officer with a bullet in his head was given a suspended sentence yesterday. Jennifer Pawluck, 22, was found guilty in April of criminal harassment for snapping
a photo of the street art and uploading it to Instagram in 2013. The judge agreed with a joint suggestion Pawluck receive a suspended sentence, which includes 18 months probation and 100 hours community service. She is forbidden from using Instagram, Facebook or Twitter for the first year, except to send private messages.
Pawluck is also prohibited from posting anything about police or anyone associated with the judicial system. Montreal police Cmdr. Ian Lafreniere, a high-profile spokesman and the main public voice of the force during major events, told Pawluck’s trial knowledge the graffiti scared his children and forced his wife to take a leave from work.

It begins like a traditional concert. Musicians are stage front, performing for an audience. Then, the mood changes. “A question leads the artist down a different pathway, like, ‘How did you get the hole in your guitar?’ and he’d go off and tell the story,” said Dave Olds. “It’s kind of like it inspires musical dialogue,” said Ronda Olds. The Kamloops couple transformed part of their Aberdeen home into an intimate concert venue dubbed The Bassment and began hosting acts last summer. On May 20, Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Roxanne Potvin will perform. Dave, a computer consultant, has had the idea since studying music in university. Daughter Madison also performs in town. “We’re all very musically oriented,” Dave told
KTW during a tour. Parking isn’t a problem, they say, being on a corner lot and, “If you’re standing outside, you can’t hear anything,” Dave said. They’ve purchased sound equipment from Long and McQuade and have strict rules — maximum 35 attendees, mandatory RSVP, bring your own beverages and admission by donation to the artist. “It’s not like a rowdy party,” Ronda said, noting neighbours have attended. The Home Routes concert series in Kamloops is similar to The Bassment, but rotates homes. Ronda said from what she’s heard from artists, home-based venues are something that’s been desired and missing in town and is becoming increasingly popular. “A lot of them are actually saying they prefer this type of venue,” Ronda said. Why? “That connection,” she said. For more information on The Bassment, go online to thebassmentkamloops.com, search The Bassment on Facebook or email dave@idom.ca.

oxanne Potvin is keeping it simple. When KTW reached the Juno-nominated and Montrealbased singer songwriter over the phone, she was preparing to head out on the road for a solo tour with a few new homerecorded songs and some intimate venues to visit. “It feels great,” Potvin said. “I missed it a lot.” Potvin took a break from touring and returned to school to study sound-recording. She has since spent time diversifying her musical skills by working in a studio and performing on the CP Holiday Train. It was her winter aboard the train that motivated Potvin to get back out on the road after the two-year hiatus, she said. “I totally need to this,” she said. “I can’t do anything else.” Her tour will stop at 15 venues in B.C., Alberta and Ontario. When she lands in Kamloops on May 20, she’ll perform at the Aberdeen

home-based venue The Bassment. “I really enjoy playing intimate venues, where it’s almost like you’re sitting in somebody’s living room,” she said. “I really like the connection you can build with people in those settings.” Being shy, she appreciates the open environment. “People can literally ask you questions,” Potvin said. “We can establish that relationship.” It will be a fitting setting to release new music, she said. It will also be the first time performing some of her new songs, a genre she calls “rootspop,” having been influenced by roots music, Americana, R and B and soul. But, she also enjoys pop music. “I also love a good chorus that gets stuck in your head, a nice melody that you want to sing again,” she said. “The songs are, I hope, a
blend of those two elements.” The new music will be the first since Potvin’s album, Play, was released in 2011. She will be selling a short EP, Morning Songs, with the new songs on tour. “It’s a really stripped-down acoustic thing that I did on my own at home,” she said. “I’ve printed only 100 copies of it.” The tour will stop in Kelowna on May 19 and Nelson on May 21 and will conclude in Owen Sound, Ont., at the end of the month.

MY PET ... Is a dog named Ronin.
Imagine having a 72.5 lb toddler running around your house. Ronin, at 8 months, still has a lot of growing to do and we have enjoyed every minute of it so fardespite the chewing, drooling and puppy antics. Thanks to him, we have made new friends, re-connected with old ones and remembered what joy there is to just be silly and play.

That may be a reality if Tranquille Farm Fresh’s Tim McLeod can get past the final hurdle of city approval to bring Slide the City to the Tournament Capital. He heard about the company, which has expanded from touring the United States to Canada and the United Kingdom this year, and got in touch to become one of three B.C. stops for the enourmous vinyl slide.

The woodcutter has a dilemma. He wants to protect a nest of birds under his hat, but the law states he must remove his hat when he meets other residents on the street. He is committed to protecting the nest, however, and that decision presents a challenge to him as he goes about his business and interacts with family A 1,000-foot — the size of three football fields — vinyl slip and side is coming to Kamloops this summer.
May 23 will be an evening of music at St. Andrew’s Presbyterian Church, 1136 Sixth Ave. — all to help the New Life Mission. Headlining the evening will be a cappella choirs River Harmony and The Coppertones, who will be performing the songs of Billy Joel, Sting, Queen and others.

Q: With reconstruction of Overlanders Bridge there’s been a lot of talk about a second crossing of the Thompson River, the long-discussed Singh Street Bridge. But, what happened to the Sixth Avenue extension? A: Randy Lambright, the city’s communitydevelopment manager, said the current plan foresees a new roadway beside Sixth Avenue extending from Columbia Street to Summit Drive in Sahali (at Springhill) “at the 120,000 [population] level or beyond.” Current trends forecast that level will be reached by about 2036, although a recently released report by the B.C. Business Council forecasts much slower growth for Kamloops and the region — pushing it back even further. Lambright said need for the roadway may also be challenged by the Sustainable Kamloops plan.

City Hall: Director’s Cut CAN SOMEBODY GET COUNCILLOR WALLACE A HOT DOG?
C
oun. Pat Wallace has a simple dream: a hot dog, served from a truck, in Kamloops. downtown Ka city’s food As the city truck owners gathered Victoria St. at 7 West Victo hearing in for a public h that dream late April, tha came to once again ca the ffore, with th ith Wallace wondering why none of the city’s trucks are offering the traditional ballpark treat. While the city’s food truck bylaw — the subject of the evening’s debate — doesn’t have a hot dog requirement, Wallace’s wish became the recurring theme of the evening meeting, with truck owners taking time out of their arguments about the number of on-street spaces the city is suppling (not enough, in their opinions) to explain their dedication to pasta, pork and other foods that don’t necessarily come in tube form. For good measure, a few questions were raised about whether a hearty German sausage would do the trick. Eventually, Viva Bridal owner and food truck supporter Anthony Salituro
The rambling asides, “bad jokes, quips that

SESSION came up with a solution to Wallace’s issue. “If Councillor Wallace wants a hot dog, she can get one at 2 a.m. outside of [Cactus Jack’s Night Club],” he told council. By necessity, there’s a lot that gets left on the cutting room floor whenever this paper reports on the goingson at Kamloops city council. With council meetings usually lasting at least three hours — and very little of that time given over to silent contemplation — this is a group that generates a heck of a lot of words. Since KTW editor Christopher Foulds informs me the paper has to cover things besides city council for some reason, the rambling asides, bad jokes, quips that take too much time to explain and other little
weirdnesses produced almost weekly by the nine men and women chosen to lead our city rarely make the cut. Until now. It’s Kamloops City Hall: Director’s Cut. If you’re not following Kamloops’ various media outlets on Twitter, it may be news to you Coun. Ken Christian likes to declare himself a fan of various municipal operations with the same fervour another man might save for The Beatles or other pleasures not related to sewer pipes. “Most people think I’m a water and sewer guy, but I actually have a big passion for roofs,” Christian told council at a budget meeting earlier this year, while encouraging the rest of the group to agree to spend money on an audit of city buildings. And, at another
meeting on the city’s plans to clean up last summer’s big storm: “Needless to say, I’m over the moon about stormwater sewer projects,” he said. Addressing mayor and council at city hall has its own risks. Last term, former councillor Nelly Dever received her share of name butcherings, most memorably “Nelly Devil.” Planning and development manager Randy Lambright might have set a new high bar at the council’s most recent meeting, however, by addressing Mayor Peter Milobar as “Mr. Member.” Sometimes, there’s nothing to do but go back to your seat in the gallery, sit down until council finishes with the hysterical laughter, and try the whole process over again.

St. Jacobs and Waterloo: Exploring Ontario’s heartland clothing and even livestock. At its peak in the summer, the market has over 600 vendors.
JAMIE ROSS
SPECIAL TO KTW
travelwriterstales.com
I
remember as a young boy when my father, during the weeks leading up to one particular Christmas, had ensconced himself in our basement for hours on end. I was warned the depths of our home were temporarily outof-bounds, so I sat upstairs and listened to the strange sounds from below, with an over-powering sense of curiosity and wonder. On Christmas morning I was invited down. He had built a wonderful model railway that would eventually take over my bedroom.
Butterflies are free
“Think of the Cambridge Butterfly Conservatory as a tropical escape,” said conservatory board chairman, Doug Wilson. With some 2,000 free-flying butterflies imported from Costa Rica and the Philippines, the inviting enclave is indeed an escape. With its cascading waterfalls, 75 species of plants and plenty of birds, bugs, turtles and parrots, the conservatory is a nature lover’s dream.
On safari
All aboard
I suppose that is why I was so excited to visit the St. Jacobs & Aberfoyle Model Railway, a delightful museum that recreates the great rail era. I entered with a sense of anticipation similar to that December morning long ago — but nothing could have prepared me for this magnificent display. Here, in an elaborate layout that covers 279square metres, stood an overwhelming scene of amazing detail, replicating Southern Ontario in the late 1950’s. Both of Canada’s major railways, the Canadian National and Canadian Pacific, are running on separate rights-of-way. Models of late steam

The St. Jacobs Farmers’ Market is a must-see attraction 15 kilometres north of Waterloo, though far from the only draw for visitors to the area.
locomotives and firstgeneration diesels, authentically detailed for specific prototypes, provide the power. There are more than 250 freight cars and it takes six operators in a control tower above the viewing floor to run everything. The trains travel through scenic countryside, passing over bridges and through tunnels, fields, towns and the Niagara Escarpment. A crowd pleaser is the night scene, when the room lighting dims and hundreds of tiny lights come on inside the buildings, houses
and rail cars. You can hear the lonely whistles of the trains passing through the darkness.
St. Jacobs
As the model railway invokes a hint of nostalgia, so does a visit to the charming village of St. Jacobs, 15 kilometers north of Waterloo. It is like stepping back in time, seeming as though nothing much has changed since the town’s Old Order Mennonite settlers arrived in the early 1800s in Connestoga wagons from Pennsylvania.
The jingle of horse tack and the clip-clop of hooves on pavement can still be heard. An open buggy comes into view, driven by a young lady in a long-sleeved print dress, apron and bonnet. In another enclosed horse-drawn wagon sits an old man wearing a widebrimmed black hat and a small boy in white shirt-sleeves and suspenders. The Mennonite farmers pride themselves in maintaining their traditions and culture. While most visitors are drawn to St. Jacobs for its famous market,
antiques, quilts and furniture shops, many are also intrigued by its history. St. Jacobs is one of the original Mennonite settlements in Ontario. The Mennonite Story at the Visitor Centre provides fascinating insights into the history, beliefs and lifestyles of the Mennonites. The many heritage buildings that line the main street are now upscale boutiques, craft shops and art galleries. The Quilt Gallery showcases beautiful examples of quilting featuring the work of individual artists, as well as groups and
guilds. You’ll see why this region has become known as the Quilt Capital of Canada. Work up a thirst from shopping? Drop into Block 3 Brewery to sample some delectable craft beer.
To the market
A short drive south of the village brings you to Canada’s largest year-round farmers’ market, a festival of sights, sounds and tastes. Local Mennonite and Amish farmers sell their wares — fruit, vegetables, fresh bread, cookies, homemade jams, cheeses, meats,
Also for nature lovers, there is no need to head to Africa to enjoy a safari; the African Lion Safari outside Cambridge allows visitors to view its collection of more than 1,000 exotic birds and animals, including lions, elephants, cheetahs, giraffes and white rhinos. The safari park has also earned an excellent reputation for its breeding, management and care of endangered species. All this can be found in the Waterloo region, just a short drive from Toronto, where history meets technology and preservation meets innovation.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
WORD SCRAMBLE
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
