KAMLOOPSTHIS WEEK | TUESDAY
The social side of politics
As someone who built a technology firm, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone is a little sheep-
ish about what has turned out to be his most popular form of com-munication with constituents.
Once a week, with the help of staff, he publishes an email letter with a subscriber base numbering 1,200.
It’s a mix, he said, of “what I’m up to the in the community and what’s going on in the province.
“It’s a little old school, especially for a technology guy,” he said with a laugh.
Stone’s cabinet colleague, Finance Minister Mike de Jong, recently made the news with the admission he is so old school he doesn’t even use email — some-thing virtually unheard of in gov-ernment circles.
Stone, like Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake and Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod use social media — Facebook and Twitter
— to keep pace with events and spread their messages.
Lake acknowledges the popular-ity of Stone’s email (“I keep ask-ing him how I can unsubscribe,” he quipped), but he relies almost entirely on Twitter.
“I’d say it’s pretty well a must,” said B.C.s health minister. “It’s rare you can be in public media without a social-media presence.”
While social media is touted as a two-way street, Lake said he is limited by the amount of hours in the day. He uses Facebook publicly only during election campaigns, Twitter to “push out information” and monitor political and helath-related news.
“I don’t use it to dialogue with people on issues. To do that, you want a lot of time to do it properly . . . . I just don’t have time to do it in a thoughtful way.”
Staff does push out news releas-es and suggested tweets.
“I look at them and sometimes modify them,” Lake said. “I’m the one who sends them out.”
Both McLeod and Stone use Facebook to communicate with constituents.

Residents of a Brocklehurst street are hopeful recent raids of alleged drug houses will bring about quieter times in their neighbourhood.
Earlier this month, police executed a search warrant at a 13th Street home. A 41-year-old man with ties to organized crime was arrested, according to
police, and investigators seized thousands of dollars worth of drugs.
“I hope there’s no more crime going forward,” said Jevyn, who spoke to KTW on the condition her last name not be published.
“My concerns are for my chil-dren. I have children who play around here and drug addicts tend to be thieves.”
Jevyn said she’s lived in her 13th Street home for about a
year and, in recent months, has worried about drug dealers on her street becoming violent.
“It’s scary,” she said. “It’s scary to think how close to home it is and how easily something like that could happen. I’m just hop-ing this is the end of it.”
The search warrant executed by police on a home in the 900-block of 13th Street was on May 5.
Residents of 13th Street in North Kamloops are hoping recent police raids will curb crime in their neighbourhood.DAVE EAGLES/KTW

A B.C. Supreme Court justice criticized an arrest by RCMP that turned up drugs and guns from a vehicle outside a Kamloops motel, ruling similarity to another vehicle sought by police was “beyond speculation and is pure fantasy.”
Justice Hope Hyslop ruled both the arrest of Rox-Ann Haines and Eric Noble on July 8, 2015, as well as a search of their van, breached their rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Noble is charged with posses-sion of prohibited weapons and possession of drugs, while Haines is charged with possession of a martial-arts weapon.
The B.C. Supreme Court jus-tice is scheduled to deliver a rul-ing today whether those breaches are enough to make evidence police found — two sawed-off
guns and a small amount of cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin — inadmissible in the trial.
If so, the two will walk away from the charges.
Defence lawyers Jay Michi and Eric Rines are representing the couple arrested following a police chase of another vehicle uncon-nected to them.
The events started the morn-ing of July 8, 2015, at the Savona boat launch, about 35 minutes west of Kamloops, when RCMP responded to a complaint of a domestic altercation. By the time they arrived, a man fled in a tan Chevrolet Venture minivan with no licence plate.
RCMP gave chase several times, but abandoned pursuit when the van weaved into oncoming traffic and reached high speeds.
A subsequent search involved an RCMP helicopter and a num-
ber of patrol units, including a vehicle driven by Const. Kris Reinburg.
Late that evening, the Mountie testified he saw what he believed could be the van in front of the Tournament Capital Inn off the Trans-Canada Highway in Valleyview.
But the van in which Noble and Haines were arrested was blue, not a Chevy Venture, and had a licence plate.
Hylsop said Reinburg’s description of the van as being like the one sought by RCMP “was simply not true,” noting RCMP dispatch gave a precise descrip-tion of the van sought, a descrip-tion that didn’t match the van at the Tournament Inn.
While Reinburg testified he believed RCMP dispatch reported the licence-plate number was unknown, dispatch in fact told pursuing Mounties the van had no plate.
Michi urged Hyslop to rule the breaches of the couple’s rights were so severe the drugs and guns should not be admitted as evidence.
“It is quite clear that Const. Reinburg operated in bad faith during the detention, search, arrest and investigation of this matter,” Michi said. “Canadians must be free from random stops and searches just because a police officer does not like the look of us or the vehicle we are in.”
Reinburg testified he knew the couple from an earlier domestic incident.
Hyslop ruled last year another search by RCMP was unlawful, resulting in charges dropped against Charles Patrick.
He was carrying a loaded shot-gun when he was pulled over.
His home was called a “chop shop” for guns by a Crown pros-ecutor.

McLeod runs an active political page during elec-tion campaigns, but otherwise makes her personal account open for anyone to see.
“I see it much more engaging locally [than Twitter],” she said.
McLeod recently discovered, however, she was not seeing all her direct messages on Facebook due to her settings, something she has corrected.
She found hundreds of direct messages she did not see when they were originally sent.
McLeod said she will usually respond to queries on Facebook and to criticism on Twitter.
“Every now and then I want to push back or engage in debate. I don’t do it a lot.”
Stone said he tries to get to Facebook messages twice a day.
Both McLeod and Stone said they frequently use Twitter but not for contact with constituents.
“Twitter, even to this day, has a much more limited audience,” Stone said. “It’s full of people in the media and politics, with the issues they’re hammering away at.”
McLeod, who acknowledges she is “a bit of a tech-nology nut,” surprised herself when she got a smart-watch a couple months ago, thinking it would be a gimmicky toy.
Instead, it’s become indispensable, in part for the stealthy ability to note incoming emails and texts without whipping out her phone.
“I have a quick glance at it and determine if it’s critical . . . “I thought, ‘It’s crazy. Who wants it?’” she said of the device that’s yet to gain mass popularity.
“But I have it.”

A developer looking to build 21 units of townhomes and apartments on Battle Street will get a second chance to pitch his project to council and the public.
Councillors agreed Tuesday to hold a second public hearing to rezone 213, 223 and 227 Battle St. to allow a multi-family, medium-density development where three single-family homes now stand across from Stuart Wood elementary.
Council voted down the project in April, in part due to concerns about size, design and community consultation.
The development was to contain four two-bedroom townhouses at street level, as well as 17 one- and two--bedroom units, but the developer of the project has suggested he will cut down the size of the project by one unit and will hold more consulta-
tion with the neighbourhood before the next public hearing.
Mayor Peter Milobar said letting the developer try again rather than wait six months to file a new application will allow the neighbourhood to get an answer about the proj-ect sooner.
“We have had some of these that have come back a second time and been turned down and then the neigh-bourhood has some certainty it’s not going to come back,” he said.
But, Coun. Ken Christian said he’s skeptical the con-cerns around the applica-tion have been dealt with in the few weeks since council first rejected the application. Christian said the devel-oper should wait until the fall before trying again.
A motion for a new hearing passed 5-3, with councillors Christian, Tina Lange and Dieter Dudy opposed. Coun. Denis Walsh, who lives near the development, recused himself from the debate.

Kamloops’ heritage steam engine 2141 will be heading out for a new season on June 30, with other events planned through the summer.
At a recent annual general meeting, one that saw a grow-ing membership, manager Rosanne Nelson reported the finances are excellent, the annual grant from the city has been received and there are new partnerships developing.
For example, Scoopz Ice Cream is offering a discount to customers who show a same-day train ticket. The shop is also holding a draw on June 4 for two tickets to ride the Spirit of Kamloops.
The draw is part of Scoopz’s re-opening celebra-tion at Sandman Signature Hotel, across from Riverside Park.
There is also a partnership with the B.C. Wildlife Park that offers both attractions — the
wildlife park and the train — for one price.
The train will offer its annual 9;30 p.m. Canada Day fireworks run and summer railtours will be on Thursday and Friday nights at 7:30 p.m. in July and 7 p.m. in August.
Saturday runs during both months will be at noon.
The Harvest High Tea is scheduled for Oct. 1 at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., an event with the train parked and a tea party with china. Tickets for it go on sale in September.
There will also be the annu-al Ghost Train for Halloween and Christmas tours.
Nelson said there’s new growth in using the static train for events, something that will increase its usage when it’s not riding the rails.
“I don’t think we could be happier,” Nelson said. “This is alive. This is going. The train is great.”
The Spirit of Kamloops had been in the shop for a few years while the engine was rebuilt.

The cat came back, but a Fort McMurray evacuee holed up in a travel trailer on a Kamloops driveway is not sure when she’ll be able to return home.
Maxine Paul has been in Kamloops for more than a week after a massive wildfire earlier this month forced Fort McMurray’s 90,000 residents from their homes.
On May 10, Paul’s cat, Kitty, ran away from her trailer, which is parked on a residential street in Brocklehurst.
He returned five days later, but Paul is still trying to figure out how to get back to her own routine.
“The fire hit really fast,” Paul told KTW. “All of the sudden, all of the neighbours were loading up all of their stuff. My daughter called me and said, ‘We’ve got to get out of here.’”
Paul and her daughter headed north and wound up at a work camp. Days later, they were flown to Edmonton.
“The worst of it is over, I think,” she said. “Our house is safe.
“It was crazy. I don’t think anybody knew the severity of
it at the time. It’s hard to even explain what it was like, just trying to make decisions on an hourly basis — should we stay or should we go?”
Paul, who works for Suncor, lived in Kamloops prior to mov-ing to Fort McMurray seven years ago. When the fire hit, a friend in the Tournament Capital offered her trailer as a temporary accommodation.
She said people have been helpful given her situation.
“When I first got here with
my cat, I called Total Pet and asked for some dry cat food,” she said.
“When I got there, they had canned cat food, a brush, a litter box.”
Paul said she’s looking for-ward to moving on and getting home.
“I’m OK,” she said. “I have a place to stay. I don’t really need anything.
“The money is going to run out, but it is what it is. It’s been quite the whirlwind.”

Kamloops Mounties are seeking the public’s help in finding another missing teen.
Maryjane Carlick, who is known as MJ, was last seen on Monday, May 2, on Sydney Avenue in North Kamloops.
She is a 14-year-old First Nations girl, stands 5-foot-7 and weighs 110 pounds. She has longer brown hair and brown eyes and is known to frequent the North Shore.
Anyone with infor-mation on the where-abouts of Maryjane is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.
Police seeking teen
Kamloops Mounties are looking for MJ Carlick, who was last seen on May 2 on the North Shore.
In addition to the arrest, investigators seized nearly 500 grams of cocaine, more than 125 grams of heroin, 12 bottles of steroids, a small amount of crack and what is believed to be fentanyl.
That raid followed a simi-lar search warrant executed at another home in the same block in late April.
Rob, who also asked that his last name not be published out of concerns for his safety, lives near the home that was raided last month. He credited police for their work, but said more can be done.
“There’s been a lot of police activity,” he said. “It’s a good thing because there’s a lot of kids in this area.”
Rob said he has lived on 13th Street for nearly four years, but only noticed crime as an issue in the last two years.
“Young fellows moved in, had nice cars, never seemed to work,” he said.
“Then cameras started going up.
“It’s always a concern, espe-cially when you see in the news that these idiots also carry weap-ons.”
RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said firearms and stolen property were seized from the 13th Street home that was raided in late April. She called the house “a
problem residence.”Glendene Grant lives just off
13th Street, but her family had a front-row seat to the May 5 raid.
She said she worries for the neighbourhood’s children.
“There’s all these little kids who are subject to this stuff unknowingly,” she said.
“It’s not just the fact that it’s there, it’s the types of people that show up there.
“It’s pretty blatant. It’s suspi-cious activity that is as blatant as it can be.”
Grant said problems have persisted even since the most recent raid, but she hopes it will subside soon.
“These drugs were a stone’s throw from my grandchildren,” she said.
“It’s crazy.”Shelkie said information on
the goings-on at the 13th Street home came from the April 24 incident on Parkcrest Avenue, when someone fired shots at a home on the street.
“No one was injured dur-ing this incident, but Kamloops RCMP had previously identified this as a problem residence,” Shelkie said. “Further police investigation led to identify-ing suspects and other serious offences involving organized crime.
“This investigation is an example of the concerted effort that Kamloops RCMP makes to identify, target and arrest those who are responsible for supply-ing and selling illicit drugs in our city,” Shelkie said. “We know that there are different factions of organized crime attempting to sell drugs in Kamloops.”

Raids turned up drugs, weapons, stolen goodsFrom A1

By now, you’ve proba-bly seen the provincial government ads on TV or Facebook, with cute children lined up
for a footrace at their school track meet.
They are interspersed these days with ads urging people to sign up for trades training, an extension of the B.C. Jobs Plan blitz that surrounded Premier Christy Clark before the 2013 election.
Not yet on TV, but waiting in the wings, are exciting new exemptions from B.C.’s property-transfer tax (for buyers of new homes only) and expanded Medical Services Plan premium assistance, which will be pitched mainly to seniors. Both measures were announced in the February budget.
That’s public-service adver-tising, explained a stone-faced Andrew Wilkinson, minister responsible for the wave of gov-ernment ads that will crest next spring. The track-meet spot is to remind parents of kids born after 2006 that they can receive a $1,200 grant by setting up their children’s Registered Education Savings Plan at an eligible bank or credit union.
The TV spot for the education grant has a confident narrator speaking as the plucky multicul-tural kids begin their sprint: “B.C.’s plan to protect Canada’s strongest economy is working. Balanced Budget 2016 means we can keep taxes low and invest in B.C. fami-lies.”
They used a male narrator, I suppose, so it wouldn’t sound too much like a Christy Clark campaign speech broadcast
at taxpayer expense.This grant program is a leftover
from the Gordon Campbell years, when the province banked $1,200 per child from its natural-gas windfall on behalf of kids born after 2007.
The Clark government expanded eligibility by a year and has made a series of announce-ments as the money was doled out directly to parents.
The ads are working, Wilkinson assured reporters, noting moni-toring has shown a “substantial increase” in parents signing up to receive the grant.
Two cheers.With the help of sophisticated
marketing, the B.C. government is able to give money away with brisk efficiency, as it did with the rebate to parents in the midst of the last teachers’ strike.
The Trudeau Liberal govern-ment has begun to rein in federal government advertising, which grew to new heights with the Stephen Harper government’s Economic Action Plan, the model for Clark’s blue-tinted Jobs Plan series.
Federal Treasury Board President Scott Brison has started with a ban on taxpayer-funded ads in the three months preced-ing a scheduled federal election. His interim measures also include banning the use of party colour schemes in taxpayer-funded ads and promoting programs that don’t yet exist.
Wilkinson declared the B.C. Liberals had not stooped to that level, as the Harper Tories did with a proposed program to retrain unemployed people.
“Our advertisements are fact-based,” he said. “They’re based on existing programs that have been budgeted and they’re designed to engage British Columbians.”
The Trudeau government has not yet delivered on its election promise to appoint an indepen-dent advertising commissioner to work out of the federal Auditor General’s office.
It’s unfortunate that yet anoth-er expansion of the bureaucracy is needed to keep politicians’ hands out of the till, but we seem to have reached that point in Canada.
There have been no such reforms proposed for B.C., or as it is currently known, “Canada’s strongest economy.”
At least we’ve been spared the bill for boasting about “The Best Place On Earth” in recent years.
The B.C. NDP has advocated an auditor general-run system for keeping partisan politics out of government advertising.
For the second year, the NDP bill to compel that was tabled and ignored by the government.
VIEWPOINT
Harper-style ads carry on
UNDERMINING THE INFORMATION
The provincial Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FIPPA) is a vital piece of legislation that can be used to hold the gov-ernment accountable and transparent — a crucial component in a contemporary democracy.
The media and the public have for years used FOI requests to access information from government and other public bodies that would otherwise be protected or deliberately withheld.
However, the effectiveness of this aspect of the act is on the verge of being seriously degraded. The provincial government is changing the legis-lation and making all active FOI requests public before they are completed.
While that may sound reasonable, it will gravely damage the media’s ability to conduct investigations into government decisions and actions discreetly, releasing stories only when all information and sources have been pursued. Alerting other media, government officials and the public of an ongoing investigation is a deep disincentive to journalists and may well compro-mise confidential sources.
Finance Minister Mike de Jong has indicated the impetus behind the change is to assist applicants in tracking their FOI requests. We challenge this reasoning. FOIs can be followed by calling the FOI analyst of the agency to which the request has been directed. Other options for that process also exist, such as a password-protected database.
The perception can be formed that the underlying reason for making FOI requests public before they are complete is to discourage the public and the media from using the legislation — and thereby give government a layer of protection it currently does not have.
Other changes to FIPPA are laudable, such as the proactive disclosure of a range of government information, without the necessity of an FOI request, and an improved government response to applications.
However, we urge de Jong to abandon the automatic public release change and allow FIPPA to continue to be the effective tool it was intended to be. That’s the mark of an accountable government, willing to bear the scrutiny of its constituents and media watchdogs.

RE: STORY: NEB RECOMMENDS TRANS MOUNTAIN TWIN PIPELINE PROJECT APPROVAL:
“Take a poll, somehow fac-tor out all the uninformed and emotional votes and I think you would have an overwhelming consensus to twin the pipeline.”
— posted by Fairminded
RE: BASS COLUMN: BASS: THE CIVIC-ELECTION COUNTDOWN BEGINS . . . :
“I have never heard as many idiotic, hairbrained statements as the ones that come out of the mouths of Kamloops councillors.
“There is a word for politi-cians like the gang of five and, eventually, all dictators fall.
“Issue after issue, this council has ignored the wishes of the majority.”
— posted by The Deck
RE: STORY: MCLEOD CALLS PM’S ACTIONS AN ‘INCREDIBLE BREACH’:
“The PM could have handled the situation better, but for the Conservatives to criticize on and on really is quite hypocritical.
“You can bet your bottom dollar they will indeed go on, like a dog with a bone.”

Editor:I am a 40-year-old male and have
lived in Kamloops off and on for about 20 of those years. I’ve lived in Brock, Sahali, Valleyview, Rose Hill and cur-rently live in Westsyde.
I have seen a lot of change in Kamloops over the years.
I think often about how Kamloops’ economy could profit from approval of the Ajax mine — roughly a million dol-lars in wages and benefits for every 10 people employed there annually.
I think about all the local businesses that would profit. Most Kamloops busi-nesses seem to be larger corporations now, though.
Only the wages we earn working stays in Kamloops. Very little is pro-duced and sold here that is owned locally. A lot of the smaller mom and pop and independently run businesses have closed over the years due to the costs of retail space.
There are quite a few “for lease” signs around town.
A news article I recently read put Kamloops’ living wage at $17.95 per hour, based on what it would cost two working people living in Kamloops to raise two children and be able to raise a family with a basic standard of life.
That is $35.90 per hour to raise a family in Kamloops. I think this par-tially explains why 12, (soon to be 13) schools have closed over the last few years in the Kamloops area.
People either don’t want to raise their kids here or they can’t afford to have them and sustain a family locally.
A lot of this is directly associated to the type of employment Kamloops
has. It has a corporate-style minimum-wage paying (not a living wage) men-tality due to sunshine tax.
The majority of new construction is happening in Sahali or Aberdeen.
I am pretty sure the proposed Ajax mine site would be surrounded with houses and strip malls in 25 years if the mine is rejected.
New subdivision construction seems to be the main culprit for dust that doesn’t occur naturally in Kamloops.
I am pretty sure the majority of the few anti-Ajaxers are people who built a half-million to a million-dollar house on a lot in Sahali and Aberdeen and don’t want to lose their investment.
The rest of the few anti-Ajaxers are retirees who don’t have to try to sustain their employment and wage for the next 25 years and environmentalists who already live in one of B.C.’s dirtiest, noisiest, smelliest, dustiest towns.
This debate is about more than just the greed with which anti-Ajaxers would like to shame us. It’s about sus-taining a community many of us have grown to love and one I would love to be a part of for many years and genera-tions to come.
As long as we hold KGHM Ajax accountable, Kamloops as a whole can greatly profit from this mine.
There is no reason we can’t all become wealthier environmentalists.
Besides, if they give us Ajax, we won’t complain so much when they want taxpayer-funded $90-million fine-arts things.
Colin NicholsKamloops
GIVE US AJAX AND WE’LL GIVE YOU AN ARTS CENTRE
MORE FROM THE MASSES ON COUNCIL’S WINE VOTEEditor:
I drove through Kelowna on May 19 and saw big bill-board advertising Save-On selling wine: “900 varieties, 90 wineries.”
It sounded fairly progres-sive to me. Wrong decision, council. Oh, and by the way, the Kelowna store is sur-rounded by pubs and private liquor stores within a one-kilometre radius.
Rusty GibbinsKamloops
Editor:If livery stable owners
and horse breeders vetoed the use of the motor car on streets, where would we be in 2016?
Of course “yes” to sales of wine (and beer) in grocery stores.
Marilyn GilbertKamloops
Editor:Yes, I agree with the vote.
As a recovering alcoholic, I would not like to see wines on grocery-store shelves.
Keep them in liquor out-lets.
I don’t go to them and I would no longer shop at Save-On, but move my busi-ness elsewhere.
DebKamloops
Editor:Since when have some of
the members of this council become the liquor czars of Kamloops?
This harkens back to the 1950s, when government tried to control the sale and consumption of alcohol.
Hopefully during the next election, people will remem-ber the council members who voted against liquor in supermarkets. I cannot believe how backward this town is.

A man who was busted driving drunk — his seventh impaired-driving con-viction — after a police officer saw him strug-gling to place an order at the drive-thru of a Kamloops McDonald’s has been handed a five-month jail sen-tence.
David Horochuk pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to one count of impaired driving and two charges of driving
while disqualified.Court heard the
49-year-old caught the attention of a Kamloops Mountie while attempting to place an order at the drive-thru of the Valleyview McDonald’s on Dec. 17.
Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio said the officer noticed the vehicle at one point had its reverse lights on in the drive-thru and its tires bumped the curb as it pulled forward.
“The vehicle also parked a significant
distance away from the window, requiring the employee to reach out to complete the order,” he said.
Court heard Horochuk’s vehicle peeled out of the drive-thru after he got his food, and the officer followed it onto the Trans-Canada Highway.
Potestio said the vehicle was swerving and veering across the highway. When he was pulled over, Horochuk was swaying and stum-bling but denied drink-ing.
He was arrested and
tests later determined that his blood-alcohol level was above the legal limit to drive.
Horochuk, who lives in Vernon, has 31 criminal convictions on his record, including 13 for driving-related offences — six previ-ous impaired driving entries, four for driving while disqualified, two for failing to remain at the scene of an acci-dent and one for dan-gerous driving.
His most recent drunk-driving convic-tion was in 2014.
Potestio said
Horochuk has been prohibited from driv-ing since 2004. At the time of his arrest in December, he was bound by three sepa-rate driving bans.
Defence lawyer Jordan Watt said his client hopes to move to Alberta to find work after his release from jail.
Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison handed Horochuk a five-month jail sentence and placed him on an addi-tional three-year driv-ing prohibition.

Five months for seventh DUITIM PETRUK STAFF [email protected]
A Kamloops woman will likely face impaired-driving charges after police respond-ing to a crash in a downtown parking lot last night found her behind the wheel of a pickup truck with a beer in her hand.
Emergency crews were called to a parking lot at 271 Victoria Street West, between
Budget Brake and Muffler and Emerald House, at about 11:45 p.m. on Thursday, May 19, for a report of a collision.
There, they found a GMC pickup that had collided with a Toyota Echo. The impact of the crash pushed the Toyota into another vehicle.
In a release, police said they
found a “grossly intoxicated” 58-year-old woman behind the wheel of the pickup, still drink-ing out of a beer can.
Mounties will be recom-mending charges of impaired driving and refusing to provide a breath sample.
The woman is slated to appear in court on June 27.

A man who stole $80 from the till at a Kamloops post office to purchase a stamp on his first day out of prison is back behind bars.
Shawn Ansley pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court to one count of theft under $5,000.
Court heard the 43-year-old was released from a fed-eral penitentiary on Feb. 17, with plans to live in a halfway house in Kamloops.
The following day, he went to the Canada Post outlet in Kamloops Square shopping centre on Seymour Street, looking for a stamp to send mail.
What he found, court heard, was an apparently empty storefront.
Ansley told court he decid-ed to hop over the counter
and open the till, from which he stole $80. When an employee emerged and con-fronted him, Ansley placed $60 on the counter.
“He then purchased one stamp and left on foot,” Crown prosecutor Oliver Potestio said.
Ansley was arrested a block away from the post office a short time later and found to have a stolen $20 bill in his pocket.
He told court he was returning to the post office to return the stolen money when he was busted.
Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison handed Ansley a three-month jail sentence, which he will serve concurrently with his revoked parole.
He is slated to be released from prison in August. He was serving a federal sen-tence for break-and-enter.

Craft breweries to see reduction in mark-up rate
The provincial govern-ment is reducing by 25 per cent the mark-up rate for small and regional brewer-ies, a move Victoria says will translate into an extra $10 million in annual eco-nomic support.
The changes improve mark-up rates for craft beer that were announced last year when the provincial government introduced the new wholesale pricing model.
As part of the changes, craft breweries will also no longer be required to remit the supplier price of their products to the Liquor Distribution Branch, which will improve the compa-nies’ cash flow.
Kamloops has three microbreweries: Noble Pig Brewhouse, Red Collar Brewing and Kamloops Brewing.
“With three micro-breweries established here in Kamloops and
potentially more on the way, this announcement is great news for this thriv-ing industry,” Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone said.
“Craft brewing in our province is growing by leaps and bounds and these changes will help
ensure this growth contin-ues.”
Kamloops-North Thompson MLA and Health Minister Terry Lake said the decision will give breweries more resources to create jobs, while giving consumers more choices of high-quality, locally made products.
“Red Collar is happy to see these progressive changes especially in the reduction of red tape,” said David Beardsell, owner of Red Collar Brewing. “The financial implications of these changes will help with future expansions and employment for Red Collar.”
Craft beers, like these offerings from Red Collar Brewing, may soon be more affordable to purchase.KTW FILE PHOTO

NATIONAL NEWS
CLARESHOLM, Alta. — Police say a British Columbia man is facing charges for impersonat-ing a Fort McMurray evacuee and allegedly taking advantage of people who were trying to help.
The RCMP said they received a complaint from Family and Community Support Services in Claresholm, Alta., because they believed a man and woman were pretending to have evacuated the wildfires.
Police allege the man travelled to Claresholm and “took advantage’’ of people who thought they were helping wildfire victims.
Investigators said Darryl Rondeau, 45, of Victoria, B.C., has been charged with fraud under $5,000.
Rondeau was arrested on May 15 and appeared in court last Monday.
Police are asking anyone in the area who may have given money to the couple to come forward.
Man accused of impersonating Fort Mac evacueeTHE CANADIAN PRESS
EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is getting high marks for lead-ership in handling the Fort McMurray wildfire crisis, but political observers say the disaster remains a dicey political proposition with limited upside and a lot of downside.
Political scientist Duane Bratt said the process of get-ting people back into their
homes and getting aid and reconstruction money will tell the tale on how Notley will be remembered in the long term for her handling of the crisis.
“On the political side ? if you handle it well, it’s a short term blip,’’ said Bratt, a political scientist with Mount Royal University in Calgary. “If you screw it up, it never goes away.’’
About 80,000 evacuees begin returning in phases to Fort McMurray on June
1, almost a month after a raging blaze broke through the firelines and destroyed 2,400 structures, most of them houses.
Since then Notley has become the face and focus of efforts to contain the blaze, save the city, and get it back on its feet.
She has given almost daily updates for three weeks.
It’s been an organization-al challenge orchestrated on the fly on multiple tracks:
getting the evacuees out and fire crews in, securing the area from looting, and finding temporary homes for the displaced in Lac la Biche, Edmonton and beyond.
Preloaded debit cards were being handed out a week after the evacuation.
Notley met with oilsands officials to consult and calm concerns about production. She toured the city twice, once with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and after-
ward received Trudeau’s pledge to expand employ-ment insurance coverage.
There was benefit to be derived from the past expe-riences of major disasters in the province — a wildfire that destroyed a third of Slave Lake in 2011 and mas-sive flooding that displaced thousands in Calgary and southern Alberta in 2013.
“She’s handled this as well as can be expected,’’ said Bratt. “Had any of that had gone wrong she
would’ve taken the blame, so she gets the credit here as well.’’
Bratt said the evacuation itself was a masterstroke, with more than 80,000 people successfully getting out on the one north-south road out of the city.
Notley has also been credited for her work with her political rival, Opposition Leader Brian Jean of the Wildrose party.

Jean, who represents Fort McMurray in the legislature, saw his own home destroyed in the fire.
Both Bratt and Calgary-based pollster Janet Brown agree Jean has done an admirable job, pushing Notley and her government on their fire-fighting and reconstruction efforts and on personifying the impact of the disas-ter.
“For those Albertans that actually don’t know anyone in Fort Mac, they know Brian Jean and they know his story,’’ said Brown.
“He wouldn’t take a room in a refugee centre and he wouldn’t take a hotel room.
“Through it all, he’s still putting his con-stituents first.’’
Both Notley and Jean have been credit-ed for working together in the crisis, but Brown said that will inevitably change as the crisis moves into reimburse-ment, insurance and rebuilding.
“As difficult as this situation has been, there haven’t been a lot of hard choices,’’ said Brown.
“You just do what needs to be done.
“As we get further
and further along, the choices will get harder. It will be harder to please everybody.
“It will be harder to know exactly what the right thing to do is.’’
Bratt agreed, say-ing if evacuees remain out of their homes for extended periods or if aid money doesn’t arrive in timely fashion, opinions will change.
There’s also the final financial tally for a province that is already running more than $10 billion in deficit this year.
“The longer this drags out, the more things get complicat-ed,’’ said Bratt.

OTTAWA — Thousands of old “Economic Action Plan’’ signs dotting the Canadian landscape are not captured by a new fed-eral advertising crackdown.
And the Privy Council Office said it will remain in place until whenever individual funding recipients get around to taking them down.
The Liberals introduced new federal policies this month that are supposed to remove all par-tisanship from publicly funded ads, including slogans and colour schemes.
Treasury Board President Scott Brison called the new policy a direct response to the communications behaviour of the Conservatives.
But according to the Privy
Council, the old action plan signs aren’t considered paid advertising and don’t fall under the new policy anyway, which only came into force on May 11.
According to the government, there were more than 22,000 active action plan projects at last count in January 2015, although it couldn’t say how many of those projects still have signs up today.

Trudeau will ‘explore nest steps’ if Toronto bids for Expo 2025TORONTO — The prime minister says if Toronto city council decides to make a bid to host Expo 2025, the federal government will explore the possibility.
Justin Trudeau made his remarks in a written response to Mayor John Tory and others who signed a letter about the potential bid.
The city’s executive com-mittee will meet today to dis-cuss the proposition.
Those in favour of the bid say it would boost the city’s reputation and makes more economic sense than host-ing the Olympics, which Tory
decided against bidding to host the 2024 Summer Games.
A letter to the Prime Minister from a group of pri-vate sector leaders says that the cost of pavilions will be shared jointly by participating countries.
If the city were to win the bid, it would be only Canada’s second official World Expo, after Expo 67 in Montreal, because the event’s regula-tory committee classifies Vancouver’s Expo 86 as an “international specialized expo.’’
The Expo committee says the event is aimed at show-casing innovation and is held every five years.

PM touches down in Tokyo ahead of G7 summit this weekTOKYO — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has landed in Tokyo where he will hold a bilateral visit with Japanese leaders before attending the Group of Seven summit later this week.
Trudeau will meet today with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the emperor and
empress of Japan as well as automotive sector officials.
The visit comes ahead of the G7 summit on Thursday and Friday in the Japanese city of Ise-Shima.
This is Trudeau’s first overseas bilateral visit to Asia since taking office.

SAANICH — A large fire near Victoria has ripped through a townhouse complex.
The blaze broke out Saturday night in a development near the University Heights Shopping mall in Saanich.
Neighbours reported seeing high flames and thick, billowing smoke, and hearing explosions.
Multiple fire crews from Saanich, Victoria and Oak Bay all responded and were able to knock the fire down within an hour.
No injuries have been reported but the area was evacuated and several residents have been displaced.

MONTREAL — Like many Canadians, Carla Holub has gladly given up commuting for the ease and comfort of working from home.
The 41-year-old WestJet sales agent says she has no regrets since she made the change three years ago.
Telecommuting affords her the time to take her children to dance lessons and hockey while reduc-ing her lunch, coffee, gas and car insurance costs, she says.
“It’s been a great switch,’’ she said from Calgary. “It just freed up a good two hours of my personal time being able to work from my home office.’’
WestJet Airlines plans to establish a bilingual call centre in Moncton, N.B., but most of the 400 agents will work from home.
They will join about 85 per cent of the air-line’s 900 call centre workers in Calgary who since 2013 have shifted to fielding customer calls remotely.
The move has saved WestJet the cost of
expanding its office to accommodate its grow-ing staff, though that is partially offset by expenses to buy extra computers for employ-ees so that they can work from home.
Spokesman Robert Palmer said the tran-sition was mainly designed to respond to workers who desire a better work-life bal-ance.
“From an employer’s perspective, generally speaking it makes for a happier employee and a happier employee is generally more produc-tive,’’ he said.
The shift to tele-commuting has accel-erated since the 1990s growth of technology, said Sheryl Boswell, director of marketing for job website Monster Canada.
She said most companies that allow employees to work from home are looking to build their business-es without added office expenses. They are also seeking access to a broader talent pool, she said.
“I think more employers are doing it because this is what seekers today
demand,’’ said Boswell, who herself telecom-mutes two days a week.
More than 1.7 mil-lion paid employees — those not self-employed — worked from home in 2008 at least once a week, up almost 23 per cent from the 1.4 million in 2000, according to the latest Statistics Canada report on the subject in 2010.
Despite the increase, the proportion of paid employees working from home grew by just one percentage point to 11.2 per cent during the period.
A faster pace of growth among self-employed pushed the total proportion of people working from home up two percent-age points to 19 per cent in 2008.
Louise Howard is typical of those many self-employed home workers.
The mother of chil-dren aged six and eight spends a few hours a day sewing clothing and accessories for children from her din-ing room that she sells online and to neigh-bourhood stores.
“It’s more a hobby
that’s become a busi-ness by accident,’’ said the Montrealer, who says she makes about minimum wage for an average of three hours per day.
Monster Canada says nearly 5,000 home-based employ-ment positions are currently listed on its website, up 18 per cent from last year.
Available positions vary from customer service and sales repre-sentatives to tech sup-port, finance and real estate services.
The growth of social media has also pushed companies to hire writ-ers to create content.

Telecommuting increasing as companies look to saveROSS MAROWITS THE CANADIAN PRESS

NATIONAL NEWS
OTTAWA — The federal gov-ernment is set to launch a social media campaign to shine a light on the ongoing problem of people pointing lasers at planes.
Transport Minister Marc Garneau is expected to unveil the details of the campaign today in Toronto as the gov-ernment tries to address what is fast becoming a serious danger for pilots and air trav-ellers.
The number of laser inci-dents reported to Transport Canada has increased in the
last few years: In 2014, there 502 so-called laser strike inci-dents on planes, a 43 per cent increase since 2012.
In 2015, there 600 inci-dents. And through to April of this year, there have been 148 incidents.
The concern is that one of those laser strikes distracts a pilot too much or affects their vision enough to jeopardize the safety of passengers and people on the ground.
The punishments for any-one caught are steep: A fine of up to $100,000, five years in prison, or both.
However, briefing mate-
rials for former transport minister Lisa Raitt, obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act, indicate that prosecut-ing laser-beam offenders has proven difficult.
“While some stakehold-ers have suggested further legislative changes regarding directed light source . . . there is ample legislative and regu-latory deterrents,’’ the briefing note reads.
“Any changes to existing behaviours and reduction in incidents will need to be sup-ported through awareness and outreach.’’
That’s why one year ago the previous Conservative government launched the “not a bright idea’’ campaign and website to try and curb the number of laser incidents on planes.
The campaign targeted Canadians around the coun-try’s three largest airports in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.
The campaign Garneau is set to launch today will focus on social media instead of the traditional political ad campaigns of the past, but will continue to focus on areas near major airports.

Feds to unveil new campaign against pointing lasers at planes
Federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau is expected to unveil today a renewed campaign

Big hair, headbands, mini skirts and ‘80s rockAudiences will feel
like they’re part of the show as Beattie School of the Arts transforms its theatre into The Bourbon Club for its presentation of Rock of Ages.
It’s the first time a secondary school has been given the rights to do the musical, said teacher Brittany Zettergreen, and with a large cast and a limited amount of space in the black-box theatre, the actors will frequently be making their entrances from the hallway, heading through the crowd, singing and dancing as they go.
Students won’t be surprised if audience members are also singing and dancing as the play features classic rock songs from the 1980s by bands including Poison, Styx, Bon Jovi, Starship, Foreigner, Quiet Riot, Journey and Pat Benetar, among others.
David Franco, who has the role of rock star
Stacie Jaxx, said it’s a fun show that shows what the 1980s — a decade that is just his-tory to these students — was really like musi-cally.
Natalia Page, one of the waitresses at the club, agreed and said she’s sure the soundtrack will reso-nate with moms and dads, grandmothers and grandfathers who will be there to see the musical-theatre stu-dents’ performance.
The story also resonates, said Emily Whalen, who plays Justice Charlier, a char-acter who also works on the Sunset Strip.
With a cast of 28 and another 13 back-stage or handling other production tasks, it’s a cramped area behind the set, so much so that actors frequently will go out a rear door, re-enter the school through the dance studio and burst into song as they come through the theatre’s doors.
The story is basi-cally the age-old tale of the naive young woman heading to Los
Angeles to find fame and fortune — and ends up working at the Bourbon Club, which is struggling financially and is trying to lure back Jaxx, who got his big break at the club.
Add in a subplot
of the mayor being bribed by a do-gooder to clean up The Strip by shutting down plac-es like the Bourbon Club and it’s a rocking musical.
Zettergreen said she picked the play because it gives her
students a glimpse into the 1980s, the music, the hair — yes, there is definitely ‘80s big hair — the mini skirts, the headbands and fringes, all that kitschy stuff that will likely resonate with the audience.
To help set the
mood, a guitar will be raffled off after each performance, there will be a rock-star photo booth and a conces-sion stand.
Performances are June 8 to June 11 at the school. Curtain time is 6 p.m.
Tickets are $10 and are available at both campuses of the school (the elemen-tary campus is at 492 McGill and the second-ary campus is at 1390 Ninth Ave.)
They can also be bought at the door.

“What have I got to lose?” Sandy Proulx thought when a friend suggested she start attending TOPS meetings at the Hills of Peace Lutheran Church in Sahali.
The answer turned out to be eight dress sizes and 56 pounds, enough to make Proulx one of the weight loss support group’s biggest success stories for the year.
At a TOPS (which stands for Take Off Pounds Sensibly) conference earlier this month, Proulx was awarded for shed-ding the most weight in her weight class.
While she had tried dieting before, Proulx said going to a group for weight loss was a new experience, but one she has enjoyed.
“Even if you just want to lose 10 pounds, they’re all there for the same reason, so you’re not judged,” she said.
Members range in age and men and women are welcome at meetings.
There’s also a social compo-nent to the group. Last week, Proulx was preparing to host a birthday party for TOPS mem-bers with May birthdays.
“They’re really positive, very, very kind people,” she said.
“They’re a very caring group and they really do encour-age you and they’re positive. There’s no negative talk in that room.”
The group also takes the “sensibly” portion of its name seriously, she said. Members must have a doctor sign off on what amount of weight is healthy to lose.
“You just can’t go in there and say — like, for me to lose 150 pounds would be unhealthy for me, and I wouldn’t want to do that anyway, but they don’t want you to go too much under your goal weight because then you start looking kind of sick,” she said.
Much of the advice consists of healthier habits: eating more
protein and fruits and veggies, drinking more water and going for walks.
“There’s days when I cheat just like everyone else,” Proulx said.
“If you want to have a pizza or chips, you’re not going to jail. You just pull your socks up the next day and get back on the program.”

HOMEFREE COUNCIL UNVEILS LANDLORDS’ HANDBOOKThe HomeFree Council has
launched a new resource for landlords, property managers and others in the private and public sectors.
The Kamloops Landlords’ Handbook provides relevant contact information that is eas-ily accessible and categorized for ease of use by landlords involved or interested in providing hous-ing to the homeless and those at
imminent risk of homelessness. “As a landlord who manages
my own properties, I want to sup-port and keep my tenants even when conflicts arise or when life circumstances happen,” said Janice Jackson, a private landlord in Kamloops.
“Now with the Kamloops Landlord Handbook, both my tenants and I have a resource to quickly access local support or
receive mediation.” The information contained in
the document was co-ordinated by the HomeFree Housing & Supports Committee and other partners within the HomeFree Collective.
The Kamloops Landlords’ Handbook is available on the City of Kamloops’ website at www.kamloops.ca/socialdevelopment/pdfs/LandlordsHandbook.pdf.

The Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge near Chase is now open for summer visits.
Founder Shirley Mainprize has been rescuing donkeys for 17 years and the refuge has been open to the public since 2007.
“Last year brought so many rescues as we stepped in to help many donkeys in need through the winter,” Mainprize said, not-ing help from donors allowed them to rescue 11 donkeys and mules from dangerous situa-tions in 2015.
“Our herds of heal-ing donkeys love to meet our visitors and donors as donkeys are very social animals,” Mainprize said.
“Rita the mule, a recent rescue, is in the process of learning to trust people and visitors will help her acclimate and adjust to her new home. To acclimate a donkey or mule to its surround-
ings and rebuild trust is a long process and small groups of visitors facilitate this process.
Visitors can visit the refuge from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. every day except Wednesdays, when the farrier visits the ani-
mals for hoof care.The Turtle Valley
Donkey Refuge is at 7877 Skimikin Rd in Turtle Valley.

SPORTSJulie Leggett always
knew she would end up in rodeo.
Her dad was an “all-round cowboy,” Leggett said, and she grew up riding horses on the family’s ranch.
Training horses helped her pay for her post-secondary educa-tion, she said. She and sister Tracey rode as jockeys at race tracks in B.C. and Alberta as well.
But then, life sent her down another path. First, she broke her arms racing in Vernon, which meant all-things-eques-trian were put aside.
Then came marriage, a couple of kids, other priorities and horses weren’t front and centre for a while.
Eventually, Leggett said, she got back into training, working with horses destined for the barrel races at rodeo — and the lure of it all saw her back in the saddle, competing part-time while her son and daughter were young and adding more and more events as they grew.
In 2014 and 2015, Leggett qualified for the Canadian Finals Rodeo, placing in the top four both years.
That led to qualify-ing for the Calgary Stampede three times, an event that’s hard to get into. The qualification require-ments are high. She’s
also been in the Cloverdale Invitational Championship, another tough one to get accepted for and one she headed to on the weekend to defend her championship from last year. Leggett credits her success to her horse.
Ice is a 14-year-old grey gelding, an equine partner that leaves her feeling like she’s “just along for the ride.” He knows what he has to do and he does it well, she said, competing with her in 36 rodeos last year.
Ice loves to show his athleticism, she said, and thrives on doing his job.
Leggett’s daughter Vanessa is also compet-ing in rodeos and, also aboard Ice, won what could be considered a world champion-ship when she took the top prize at the U.S. National High Schools
Finals Rodeo in 2012.Then still a student
at South Kamloops sec-ondary, she qualified for the event — the biggest of its kind in the world — in 2009, finally win-ning the barrel-race title in 2012. She was just the second Canadian to win the award, Leggett said.
The money she’s won included a scholarship to Texas Tech University and Vanessa went there for a year but missed home so returned and is now studying nurs-ing at Thompson Rivers University.
And, like mom before her, she’s using rodeo wins and the cash prizes they bring to help pay for her education.
About 100 contes-tants were expected at the four-day Cloverdale event including Cole Scott and Gavin Derose, who also call Kamloops home.

RED DEER — The Red Deer Rebels sold off parts of the future in an attempt to win the 2016 Memorial Cup as the host team. It paid off on Sunday.
Adam Helewka scored twice and Jake DeBrusk added a goal and two assists as the host Rebels beat the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies 5-2.
Helewka, 20, and 19-year-old DeBrusk were added near the WHL trade deadline along with Luke Philp, also 19.
The trio of veter-
ans cost Red Deer six roster players and six draft picks over the next two years, includ-ing a first-rounder in 2017.
“We know why we were brought here and this was a moment we had to be different makers,’’ said Helewka, who scored 26 goals in 34 games for the Rebels after being acquired from the Spokane Chiefs.
“Me and Adam are
both silently confi-dent. We know we can do something good,’’ added DeBrusk. “(And) don’t discredit Luke Philp. Us three as a line were buzzing tonight. Just a good night for us.’’
Philp had a single assist, but also won 21 of 31 faceoffs.
The victory keeps Red Deer’s tournament hopes very much alive after losing its opener to the OHL champion
London Knights.Another loss would
have left the Rebels in a do-or-die situation in their final round-robin game of the tournament tomor-row against the WHL champion Brandon Wheat Kings.
Game time is 5 p.m.Only one host team
in the past eight tour-naments has gone on to win the Memorial Cup — the 2012 Shawinigan Cataractes.

As Jayson Bruno coached his kids’ road hockey team at the Kamloops-hosted Hockey Day in Canada, he wondered why the city doesn’t hold an annual tournament of the same ilk.
He has since taken it upon himself to bring the idea to fruition and hopes to host the first annual FrankenJax Road Hockey Tournament on Aug. 13 and Aug. 14 in the Tournament Capital.
“I thought, ‘Why can’t we do this every year, have a tournament?’” Bruno said, contacted by KTW.
“We play every Sunday anyways. We thought it’s a good idea to get [kids] out and be active, instead of being on the electronics.”
The tournament, which is named after Bruno’s sons Frankie and Jaxon, will be played at the Marion Schilling Lacrosse Arena at Valleyview Centennial Park.
Bruno said he is expecting anywhere from eight to 24 teams to take part in the two-day event. He has reached out to the Kamloops Blazers and the Kamloops Storm, in hopes the city’s two junior club’s might get involved.
The father of two had looked at organizing a road hockey tournament a hand-ful of years ago, but interest failed to materialize. This time around, he said, Hockey Day in Canada seems to have sparked interest in the sport, with kids and parents having seen the idea in practice at the celebration of Canada’s game earlier this year.
Teams at Bruno’s tourna-
ment will be made up of youth (10 to 14 years old), junior (15 to 19 years old) and adult (20 and older) play-ers and at least three of the five on the court at any one time must be of the youth age group.
Teams must have a mini-mum of 11 players at the time or registration and a maximum of 22, seven to 14 of which must be youth.
Bruno said the age groups are intended to encourage a game that appeals to all.
Registration is now open for the tournament. The first 12 teams to register will receive guaranteed admis-sion. Fees are $15 for youths, $20 for juniors and $25 for adults and come with food, beverages, freezies and an event T-shirt.
Prizes will be drawn and Bruno hopes to have a vari-
ety of other entertainment, including Tom LaRoche of LaRoche World Gung Fu and Kickboxing teaching free les-sons.
“It’s just basically a single dad who’s trying his best to organize a road hockey tour-nament,” Bruno said.
“If it goes well, which I hope it does, we’ll try and do it every year.”
Players will need a stick and a helmet to play. Bruno hopes to accept used equip-ment donations for players who don’t have their own.
For more information and to register, contact Bruno by phone at 250-314-1255 or 250-819-1417, or by email at [email protected].
The group practises every Sunday at Cowan Park, on Cowan Street between Sixth and Seventh avenues, from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.

PARIS — Milos Raonic advanced to the second round of the French Open with a 6-3, 6-2, 7-6 (5) win over Janko Tipsarevic yesterday.
Raonic, form Thornhill, Ont., fired 10 aces in the straight-sets win and had 15 break-point attempts against his Serbian opponent, converting four of them.
The eighth-seeded Canadian also hit into five double faults and had 28 unforced errors in a match delayed a day by rain in Paris. Tipsarevic had 29 unforced errors.
Raonic will next face France’s Adrian Mannarino, who advanced with a 6-4, 2-6, 6-2, 6-4 win over Mikhail Kukushkin of Kazakhstan. It will be the first meeting on the ATP Tour between Raonic and Mannarino.
The match begins at 1 a.m. tomorrow.Raonic advanced to the quarter-finals at Roland
Garros in 2014, and missed last year’s French Open with an injury.

MANCHESTER, England — Louis van Gaal’s career at Manchester United appears to be nearing the end after two turbulent years.
Van Gaal arrived at United’s training ground yesterday amid reports that he was going to be fired.
The 64-year-old Van Gaal had already told reporters on Sunday “it’s over’’ — without expand-ing.
Although Van Gaal delivered United’s first tro-phy since Alex Ferguson retired by winning the FA Cup on Saturday, a fifth-place Premier League finish meant the team missed out on Champions League qualification.
Former Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is expected to replace Van Gaal.

Jose Mourinho is expected to take over from Louis van Gaal as manager of Manchester United.
NEW YORK — Tom Brady will appeal his four-game suspension by the NFL, seeking a second hearing before the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court.
The decision by the New England Patriots quarterback was confirmed yes-terday by NFL Players
Association spokesman George Atallah.
If the appeal is denied by the full panel, Brady could try to take his case to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The court ruled 2-1 on April 25 that Commissioner Roger Goodell was within his rights to suspend Brady for four games for his role in using
improperly inflated footballs in the 2015 AFC championship game.
Brady has added lawyer Ted Olson to his legal team. Olson and union chief DeMaurice Smith appeared on ABC’s “Good Morning America,’’ saying they plan to ask for a new hearing before the entire 13-judge circuit.

There’s rarely a dull moment for the Toronto Blue Jays these days.
Amid an extended stretch of dust-ups, ejections and disciplinary news, Toronto beat Minnesota 3-1 on Sunday. Once again, Blue Jays man-ager John Gibbons wasn’t around for the finish, having been ejected in the fifth inning.
Gibbons was also ejected the pre-vious Sunday and Monday, and he served a three-game suspension from Tuesday through Thursday.
This wild stretch began when the Blue Jays and Texas Rangers were involved in a brawl on May 15. There were eight ejections in that game — Gibbons was actually tossed for argu-ing balls and strikes, then came back to the field for the brawl later in the game.
On Monday, Gibbons was ejected for arguing a called third strike in
a game against Tampa Bay. Then Tuesday, a bunch of suspensions were handed down stemming from the Blue Jays-Rangers fight and Gibbons began serving his three-game ban for that.
When he returned on Friday, Toronto was facing Minnesota, but that series didn’t end without incident either. On Saturday, Blue Jays slugger Josh Donaldson was thrown out of the game in the top of the first inning.
The Blue Jays took three of four from Minnesota, rebounding nicely from a five-game losing streak. But Toronto, the defending AL East cham-pion, is in last place heading into a stretch of divisional games.
Starting tonight against the Yankees, Toronto plays a dozen games against either New York or Boston.

PITTSBURGH — Tyler Johnson turned toward the net, wary of taking another shot to his already battered face.
The puck off Jason Garrison’s stick found him anyway and this time he didn’t even feel it. He was too busy celebrating lifting the Tampa Bay Lightning to within one win of a return trip to the Stanley Cup Final.
Garrison’s wrister smacked off Johnson’s back and into the Pittsburgh Penguins net 53 sec-onds into overtime on Sunday night, giving the Lightning a 4-3 victory and a 3-2 lead in the best-of-seven series.
A year after falling to the Chicago Blackhawks in the Cup finals, the Lightning can head back to the championship round with a win in Game 6 tonight.
Puck-drop in Tampa Bay tonight is slated for 5 p.m.
“I was just battling in front,’’ Johnson said. “I saw Garry start-ing to shoot it, thought he was going for my head again, so I turned around.’’
Just in time for his seventh — and most important — goal of the playoffs. The Lightning are 12-1 in the last 13 post-season games in which Johnson has scored, his fortunate bounce Sunday coming two days after he received stitches and lost some teeth after a puck smashed into his face during warmups before Game 4. He didn’t miss a shift that night. He didn’t miss the net in overtime 48 hours later, even if he wasn’t technically aiming for it.
“He’s a winner, that’s what winners do,’’ Tampa Bay coach Jon Cooper said of Johnson. “They don’t back down.’’
Even on the road. Even down a pair of goals. Even trailing by one heading into the third period against a team that began the night 46-0 on the season when leading after two. Yet Tampa Bay survived by consistently and expertly counterpunching every time the Penguins provided an opportunity.
Nikita Kucherov scored twice to boost his post-season total to an NHL-best 11 — including a wraparound that beat Marc-Andre Fleury and tied it at 3 with just 3:16 left in regulation. Alex Killorn picked up his fifth of the playoffs as the Lightning handed the Penguins consecutive losses for the first time since January. Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped 31 shots to outplay Fleury, who returned to the lineup for the first time in more than seven weeks.

Johnson, Lightning looking to finish Pens tonight
Catharine Pendrel earned her first World Cup podium finish of the season and jumped to second overall in the standings with a bronze-medal per-formance in Albstadt, Germany, on Sunday.
The mountain biker from Kamloops crossed the finish line in 1:34:39, 11 seconds behind silver-medallist Jenny Rissveds of Sweden and one minute and 36 seconds back of winner Annika Langvadof Denmark.
“It was a hard race, but it’s the best my body has ever felt in Albstadt, so I’ll take that as a good sign that my form is there,” Pendrel told Canadian Cycling Magazine, “So, I’m excited to take my form to La Bresse and see if I can keep moving up.”
Defending World Cup champion Jolanda Neff of Switzerland pulled out of Sunday’s race minutes before it started due to a viral infection.
Round 3 of the Union Cycliste Internationale Cross Country World Cup circuit will be held in La Bresse, France, on Sunday.
Pendrel, who will become a three-time Olympian when she competes for Canada at the Summer Games in Rio in August, placed fourth at the first World Cup event of the season in April.
There are six stops on the World Cup circuit. Heading into Round 3, Langvad is first in the overall standings with 500 points, while Pendrel is second with 310.

HOROSCOPES MAY 24 - MAY 30, 2016ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20
Aries, expect to be very busy in the days ahead. Make a concerted effort to be more aware of what’s around you so that you don’t miss a thing.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21Taurus, financial questions keep popping up and you just keep pushing them aside for later. If need be, work with a professional to establish your goals.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2Do something out of your comfort zone this week, Gemini. When you do so, you may find out you have a wider array of interests than you first believed.
CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22Cancer, just when you think you’ve figured out how to play the game, they go and change all of the rules on you. Adaptability is one of your biggest strengths.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23It’s time to make your love life a priority, Leo. If you’re in a relationship, you may find it needs a little nurturing to get it back to the level it was a few months ago.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22Virgo, if you come up against things you don’t understand this week, ask people whose opinions you trust for their points of view. Educating yourself will help you move ahead.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22Delegation will be your favorite word of the week, Scorpio. When the going gets tough, start delegating the tasks that have you stumped. This will ensure everyone stays productive.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21Sagittarius, you may be called upon to lend your special skills to a situation this week. While it may not be a job you relish, you know ultimately it has to get done.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20Capricorn, speak your mind because if you don’t do it others are not going to advocate for your needs. That’s why it’s so important for you to fight for every cause, no matter how small.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18Aquarius, work may be getting on your nerves, but you have to maintain a professional demeanor at all times. It can be challenging, but you will handle it.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20Pisces, a few days away from the daily grind will help you recharge your batteries. Turn off your phone and enjoy the well-deserved respite.
WEEKLY CROSSWORD
Crossword Answers FOUND ON A24
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23Take some time out of your schedule for some much-needed pampering. Whether your idea of special treatment is a massage or simply sleeping in, make it a priority.
You just bought some digital LEDs for really cheap. The manufacturer states one of the seven segments might not light up. Assuming you do not want confusion between two digits, you should use only those LEDs where the failing segment is which one(s)?
Another batch has a segment that is always on. Which segment will cause the l east trouble and why?
(In your answer, number the segments from top-to-bottom, left-to-right, so 1: top, 2: top left, 3: top right, 4: middle, 5: bottom left, 6: bottom right, 7: bottom.)

Ross Campion JardineAfter 82 years of an incredibly full, honorable and beautiful life, Ross Campion Jardine left this world on May 18, 2016. Ross will be remembered as a very humble, generous and loving husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend to all who knew him. Born January 17, 1934 to Ted and Helen (Young) in Coronation, Alberta, Ross spent his early years in nearby Compeer where his parents owned the General Store. In 1944 the family moved to Kamloops and started their new family business, Jardine Hardware. Growing up working in the store and playing hockey and football ignited his lifelong passions for sports and business. Ross married his high school sweetheart, Arline (Carter) in 1958 and they were blessed with five children, Jody, Arlana (Shane) Dagneau, Terry-Jo (Dale) Kaiser, Rex (Nicole) and Nancy.
Ross was a visionary man of multiple talents and exceptional persistence, resulting in success with his many business ventures. Early on Ross partnered with his older brother Glen to open Kamloops Sport Shop on Victoria St. His love of boating and the Shuswap then led him to develop Kamsport Marine. In the 1970’s Ross became a partner in manufacturing boats and in 1983 created Campion Marine sending his boats throughout the world. He was inducted into the National Marine Manufacturers Association Hall of Fame in 2012. In 1974 Ross moved the family to ‘the country’ on the river just outside of Kamloops, here he started Jardine Turf Farm, a creative way to make the acres profitable while enjoying his dogs, horses, gardening and the river outside his door . Ross didn’t just build boats, he loved to build anything ....multiple homes, cottages, commercial buildings, barns, furniture, go-carts and was instrumental in the development of Rivershore Golf Course. None of these successes would have been possible but for Ross’s work ethic, keen mind that never seemed to stop, honest and fair business ethics, strength of character and pure determination.
Ross played hockey successfully for the Kamloops Chiefs team, twice Coy Cup Champions and part of the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame. He coached local teams, played for the Kamloops Oldtimers and enjoyed serving as a director for the Kamloops Blazers.
Ross was an amazing family man and became an adored Grampa to 13... Marissa, Zachary, Matthew and Mitchel Ledding - Tana (Josh) Jones, Bailey and Laine Dagneau - Calli (Travis) Huyghebaert, Spencer (Nicole) Duncan - Carter, Marina, Shayl and Jordyn Jardine - as well as great-grampa to Ariella Dagneau. They will miss his loving, helpful, teasing, gentle, caring ways.
Ross is survived by his loving wife of 57 years Arline, and brothers Glen and Mac, and many beloved nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his favorite sister Gay Desireau and his parents.
Ross was a long time member of the Kamloops United Church, he possessed an unwavering faith in God, and we are comforted knowing he lives on in peace.
The family is grateful to Dr Montalbetti for his dedicated care, and to the wonderful staff at Kamloops Seniors Village. Funeral Services are to be held at Calvary Community Church on Tuesday, May 24, 2016 at 11am, Reverend Don Waldon officiating. Following Burial at Hillside Cemetery there will be a reception at the Coast Hotel (Vista Room) 1250 Rogers Way. Donations to the Heart and Stroke Fund or Canuck Place in Ross’s memory are appreciated.

Simon Francis NankivellSimon Francis Nankivell was born in the midst of WWII in the village of Louth, England on July 14, 1942. He died peacefully, surrounded by love in the early morning hours of May 12, 2016. Simon was the beloved husband of Nancy Wyse. Though he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and was ravaged by it he was much more than this debilitating disease. Simon was a loving, gentle, passionate, brilliant man. The descriptors of who he was and what he did in his 73 years are too prodigious to make a comprehensive list. But here are some of Simon’s interests and passions over his lifetime. He was teacher, professor, researcher, pilot, explorer, astronomer, car restorer, mechanic, author, train builder (KVR and model), Morse code enthusiast, ham radio operator, canoeist, Budget driver, home body, Star Trek and Foyle’s War groupie, artist, gardener, friend, grandson, brother, uncle, husband, father, grandpa.
Simon’s sons and step children and their families adored and respected him. He leaves his legacy of wonderfulness to his sons Justin Nankivell, wife Kerry and grandchildren Elian, Jude and Ada of Honolulu; Nathan Nankivell, wife Stephanie Hull and grandson Rowland of Victoria. Simon’s gentle, generous and wise ways endeared him quickly and deeply to his step children Luke Mackinnon of Penticton; Megan Borchert, husband James and granddaughters Hadley and Emerson of Trout Creek. His wife Nancy’s life was forever changed when he walked in her garden gate in August 2000. Their soulmate marriage continues to bless her even in her grieving.
The family is profoundly grateful for the loving and professional care Simon consistently received at Trinity Care Centre – he was surrounded by angels. Dr. Paisley was unfailingly brilliant, responsive and compassionate with Simon – thank you!
A Celebration of Life for Simon will be held at Oasis United Church, in Penticton on June 18th at 1:00 PM.

OTHERS WHO HAVEGONE BEFORE
By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana
Others who have gone beforeHold up my trembling hand.
They comfort me in the blind despairI cannot understand.
They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain,
Remind me that we are not lost ...Though I must now remain.
Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry.
Sing softly with me soothing chordsOf unsung lullabies.
Mourn anniversaries never marked,A future I cannot keep.
They gently kiss the pain away,And love my heart to sleep.
The ones who’ve gone before meHold me in my dreams.
They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams.They love me in my heartache,
Wait quietly nearby.,Hold patiently, one to another
Till I join them by and by.
She Walksin Beauty
LORD BYRON
She walks in beauty, like the nightOf cloudless climes and starry skies;And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes:Thus mellowed to that tender lightWhich heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face;
Where thoughts serenely sweet expressHow pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on the cheek, and o’er that brow,So soft, so calm, so eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow;But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love
is innocent!
