KAMLOOPS LONGBOARDERS ON TOP OF THE WORLD
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

TOP COP SAYS KAMLOOPS NEEDS MORE MOUNTIES TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops’ top cop says the local detachment is in need of additional Mounties. RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said there are eight officer vacancies right now and he expects to require an additional one or two officers within five years. “We’ve had a number of scheduled and unscheduled retirements, some promotions and new opportunities that have taken some of our senior members,” he said at the city’s co-ordinated enforcement task force meeting yesterday (Oct. 20). “We’re actually working with our staffing people on that but, with, that we’re facing some challenges.” Mueller said the Kamloops detachment’s understaffing is affecting front-line policing.
“We’re short right now on our watches — in providing that street-level, boots-on-the-ground, uniformed policing,” he said. “We need to ensure we maintain our minimums, and we do, but, when we’re short resources, it becomes a challenge. “We are running a little bit short. Saying that, we are making sure we have the adequate levels of services on the street but, there is some pressure there.” The current shortfalls are not due to underfunding. It is due, Mueller said, to a lack of new RCMP officers in B.C. “It’s right across the province,” he said. “Right across the board — resources are short everywhere.” Right now, the Kamloops RCMP detachment receives funding for 120 officers, but has 112 on staff. Mueller called current funding “extremely adequate” and
said he’s optimistic about funding in the future keeping up with demand. “We’re very well supported, but the plan that we have is to do this [add funding for more officers] incrementally,” he said. “I’m very positive we’re going to continue to get the resources we need.” According to Mueller, the Kamloops model of adding a few officers every couple of years is more sustainable than the situations faced by other B.C. detachments. He said the Surrey detachment is in need of more than 45 new officers, while Kelowna needs 22. “I want to make sure we continue like that,” Mueller said. “I realize the economics of policing is such that the cost is a concern. I want to continue in that vein and hopefully we can do it like that.”

The province has confirmed a suspected arson on a bridge across Adams River leading to a proposed underground mine. A group calling itself Secwepemc Ts’ka7 Warriors posted a statement on an activist website, claiming responsibility for torching the bridge, located about 70 kilometres northeast of Clearwater, near Tumtum Lake on Oliver Creek forest service road. “With much discussion with Elders Councils and around sacred fires and ceremonies, the Secwepemc Ts’ka7 Warriors have acted out their collective responsibility and jurisdiction to and in the Ts’ka7 area by deactivating the Imperial Metals Ruddock Creek mine road,” reads the statement online at popularresistance.org. It is accompanied by an image of a fiery hand. The bridge that was burned leads to the proposed Ruddock Creek mine, which Imperial Metals wants to develop. Clearwater RCMP confirm it is investigating the suspected arson. Steve Robertson, Imperial Metals’ vicepresident of corporate affairs, said the company

received a report earlier this week of a fire it believes was set on Oct. 11. Robertson said the decking and railings on the bridge across Adams River are burned. He described the damage as being a four- to five-foot hole in the middle of the bridge decking. “It took quite a bit of fuel to get it going. Adams River is really turbulent and is directly beneath.” Greig Bethel, a spokesman with the provincial Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Development, said a temporary repair job will be done this weekend. Bethel said in an email message to KTW the ministry has estimated the damage at $5,000. “Structural inspections will be performed next week to investigate further,” Bethel wrote. “The bridge will be repaired this weekend with a temporary patch, but will remain closed to the public. It will not be rebuilt until next spring.” Imperial Metals has applied for permits to develop the Ruddock Creek mine, located in an alpine area. In August, the federal Conservative government allowed a substitution of the federal review for Ruddock Creek mine in favour of an environmental review by the province of B.C. Imperial Metals, which also owns the Mount Polley mine in the Cariboo, where a disastrous
tailings breach occurred this summer, is not operating on the Ruddock Creek project at the moment. Robertson said the road, including the bridge, is used by forest companies, anglers and hunters. The ministry said traffic is typically light. The statement from the Secwepemc Ts’ka7 Warriors warned government and the company to vacate the area: “This is a warning to Imperial Metals Corporation: Leave our Lands and do not come back. This is a warning to the provincial government: You do not have jurisdiction on this Land to issue permits to any corporation. This is a warning to investors (including the province), contractors, suppliers and subsidiaries: Divest from Imperial Metals Corporation. We the Secwepemc, united, will not allow Imperial Metals Corporation to continue. Secwepemc Law will prevail in our Territory.” Earlier this month, Neskonlith Indian Band issued what it called an “eviction notice” to Imperial Metals. Chief Judy Wilson could not be reached for comment. Four bands — Neskonlith, Adams Lake, Little Shuswap and Simpcw — have made claims to the territory. “We do maintain regular contact with the bands,” Robertson said.

BEST Accused killer of teen will stand trial DEALS ON CARS LOCAL NEWS
A six-week trial is scheduled to start in September of next year to determine whether Damien Taylor is responsible for the murder of his girlfriend, CJ Fowler. A B.C. Supreme Court justice jas fixed Sept. 28, 2015, as the start date for a jury trial on the charge of second-degree murder. Taylor, 22, was arrested in January after police spent more

than a year investigating the death of
16-year-old Fowler. Fowler’s body was
discovered in Guerin Creek, near downtown Kamloops, on Dec. 5, 2012. The Crown called 16 witnesses at Taylor’s preliminary inquiry — a pre-trial hearing to determine if there is enough evidence to go to trial. All evidence heard at a preliminary inquiry is subject to an automatic publication ban. At the time of her death, police said
Fowler, who was from the Terrace area, had been visiting friends in Kamloops. Investigators believe Fowler and Taylor, who were involved in a romantic relationship at the time, travelled to Kamloops together. Fowler had apparently been planning to return home to Terrace before she was killed. Taylor has remained in custody since his arrest.
Imitation gun brings man sentence CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Powers Addition resident who caused police to cordon off a neighbourhood and issue a public warning about use of imitation firearms has been handed a three-month conditional sentence. For the first two months of that sentence, Raymond Volpatti will be under house arrest. “There was real fear by your neighbour — and rightly so,” provincial court judge Stella
Frame said. Volpatti pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm contrary to an order. He has a prior criminal record and was given a 10-year firearm ban in 2009. Crown prosecutor Monica Fras said a Fernie Road neighbour of Volpatti’s saw him outside at the rear of his residence in the afternoon of June 16, waving a handgun and attempting to fire it in the air. RCMP responded and locked down the
neighbourhood. The gun was, in fact, a BB pistol, a replica nine-millimetre handgun. Volpatti and two other men were arrested — one for possession of drugs and the other for possession of what police called a stun gun. Following the incident, Mounties held a press conference warning they are forced to treat toys as the real thing in any emergency — a situation that could lead to fatal consequences for those
wielding them. Jay Michi, an articling student representing Volpatti, said the 46-year-old former logger has not worked since sustaining a head injury more than 20 years ago. “Mr. Volpatti is an alcoholic, a rather severe alcoholic,” Michi said. “The reason that location is good is it’s
away from downtown and keeps him away from trouble. “On this occasion, he invited trouble into his life.” Volpatti is forbidden from drinking alcohol during his 90-day conditional sentence, but Frame did not extend that ban on alcohol or drugs to his one-year probation period that follows.

capital-plan request — in essence, the 12 big projects it would like to take on in coming years. Top of the list is an addition to Westmount elementary, something that will cost an estimated $9.5 million. Next on the list is the almost $45-million plan to replace South Kamloops secondary — the lynchpin to other changes the district wants to make to schools in the next couple of years. Everything from closing Stuart Wood elementary to creating a kindergarten to Grade 12 Beattie School of the Arts is linked to replacing the aging structure on Munro Street. The district also anticipates building a new school in Pineview Valley in the west end of the city. It is one of three areas in the city experiencing enrolment growth and saw its catchment area changed in 2011 to move the students there from
Dufferin elementary to McGowan Park elementary. When that move was made in June 2011, trustees were told the area would be on the list to get its own school. Other items on the list include replacing Bert Edwards, Kay Bingham, Raft River, AE Perry and Marion Schilling elementary schools, as well as Beattie School of the Arts, and replacing 11 school buses. Trustees were told, however, that including those schools needed to be accompanied by a ranking of the need to replace them, based on the age of the buildings, their maintenance history and future enrolment patterns. It establishes what Art McDonald, the school district’s director of facilities and transportation, called a placeholder on the capital plan. McDonald noted in his report none of the buildings “are falling apart and we will

continue to do the required maintenance work at each of these facilities until they are replaced. “However, there is a longtime gap from funding request to funding/construction, so it seems prudent to have a capital plan that takes into account this time lag.� Districts have been told they are not required to submit their capital plans this year because the Ministry of Education is replacing its webbased program to receive them.
Labouring through labour dispute Despite the teachers’ strike that left schools closed through the summer, the majority of capital projects were completed during July and August. Of 54 projects — ranging from refinishing floors to upgrading roofs — 44 were completed and nine are in progress. One project, a playground installation at Logan Lake secondary,
is on hold. Floor replacement and refinishing dominated the list of capital-works projects, with 12 gym floors refinished, classroom and hallway floors replaced at Kay Bingham elementary and all floors at Pinantan elementary replaced. Rollshutters were installed at Brocklehurst middle and Parkcrest and Westmount elementary schools. Brocklehurst and South Kamloops secondary schools saw the most work done, with Brocklehurst also getting windows replaced, the parking lot repaved, an office renovation and replacement of the shop garage door. At South Kamloops, the gym floor was refinished in both the John Peterson and main campuses, the roofs were upgraded on both buildings, with a rooftop unit replaced, and the metal shop at the John Peterson campus had work done in it.

LASER LOUT SOUGHT TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Mounties are investigating after a BC Transit driver claims he had a laser pointer shined in his eyes while driving a city bus down Columbia Street last week. Bus driver Chris Kempling said he was driving near the Hospitality Inn parking lot near downtown Kamloops at about 8:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 15, when he noticed a green light in his eye, followed by blurred vision and eye fatigue. Kempling said he filed a report with police the following day. Investigators have not yet identified a suspect, but Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Mike Savage said someone who shines a laser at a driver — especially one with passengers — could face serious repercussions. “Dealing with somebody pointing at a person in a vehicle, you’d be looking at the Criminal Code mischief with endangerment to life or,
in fact, assault,� he told KTW. “Sometimes, depending on the laser, it can also be damaging to the eyes.� In 2012, a pilot flying into Kamloops Airport reported a “bright and throbbing� green light in his eye, apparently coming from the Rayleigh area. Police were dispatched to the neighbourhood, but couldn’t find the culprit. Lasers being shined into helicopter and airplane cockpits have made headlines recently in the Lower Mainland. The problem isn’t limited to pilots and drivers, however. Earlier this month, Buffalo Bills quarterback Kyle Orton complained of a laser being shined in his eye during an NFL game at Ford Field in Detroit. In that instance, the Detroit Lions identified the culprit after he bragged on Twitter about having distracted Orton. He has been banned from Ford Field for life. Anyone with information about the Columbia Street incident is asked to call Mounties at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

DISTRACTION CAN BE COSTLY
T
his is the week where fiddling with your cellphone while driving will cost you dearly. The province’s new distracted-driving penalties are now in effect. Anybody caught talking on a cellphone (or operating a hand-held audio player ,such as an iPod or mp3 player, or programming a GPS) will be subject to three penalty points and a $167 fine. While many who have been already been caught at Kamloops intersections or on highways will grumble about the heavy hand of government and yet more fines, it is worth noting distracted driving is the second-leading contributing factor of vehicle fatalities in B.C., according to authorities who compile such statistics. There was a time when drinking and driving was not considered the social taboo it is today, but heightened awareness led by government, police and private groups, along with far more serious consequences, has made pariahs of those who decide to imbibe and drive. Perhaps those who insist on driving and texting and driving while talking into a cellphone attached to the side of their head will one day be viewed as intoxicated drivers are today. Whether or not you agree with the new punishment, consider the penalties before you next decide to use that device while behind the wheel: • Drivers that accrue more than three points must pay an ICBC driver penalty-point premium that starts at $175 and will escalate if they receive more points. • A driver who receives two distracted-driving tickets in a year would pay $634, which is the cost of two fines and a $300 penalty for six points. • As points build on a person’s driving record, the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles may also identify a driver as high-risk and monitor or prohibit them under the Driver Improvement Program.

One last railway robbery
“H
ands up!” That famous command is attributed to Billy Miner, an American career criminal who is also credited with B.C.’s first train robbery — at Silverdale on the Mission border in 1910. A more genteel — and, of course, perfectly legal — trackside transfer of wealth is underway in the B.C. legislature. It’s called the Canadian Pacific Railway (Stone and Timber) Settlement Act and it provides for taxpayers to hand over $19 million to CP Rail to settle a lawsuit over historic logging, rock and gravel rights given to B.C.’s pioneering railway builders. Students of B.C. history will know that while Miner got the headlines, it was the early coal, lumber and railway barons who really made out like bandits. And CP Rail inherited some of this by 1912 when it took over three early railways that had been granted vast tracts of provincial Crown land. Deputy Premier Rich Coleman revealed the settlement in the legislature earlier this month. It seems that when CP Rail took over the B.C. Southern Railway Company, the Columbia and Kootenay Railway and Navigation Company and the Columbia and Western Railway Company, there were some clerical errors along the way. “I am pleased that Canadian Pacific Railway and the province have recently reached an agree-

VICTORIA ment regarding the disputed ownership and value of timber and stone rights on 145,000 hectares of Crown land and 68,000 hectares of private land in the Kootenay and Okanagan regions,” Coleman told the legislature. “The province granted land to three railway companies between 1892 and 1908 to subsidize railway construction. “These railway companies reserved timber and stone rights for their own use when they sold the land to third parties in the early 1900s. These reservations were not recognized in many subsequent land transactions and many of them were not registered in the current land title system.” These discrepancies came to light in the early 2000s. They involve some 1,600 properties, so you can imagine the lawyer fees that would be accumulated to sort through those in court. Coleman’s statement suggests the government has conceded its records are in error, rather than those of the railways. Given the Wild West ways
of B.C.’s early settlement and railway development, it’s not surprising there were some loose ends. For a fascinating look at this period, I recommend Barrie Sanford’s book, Steel Rails and Iron Men. Sanford recounts the fateful decision of the CPR to turn north at Medicine Hat and push Canada’s defining railway through the Kicking Horse Pass, leaving the mineral-rich Kootenay region open to competitors for rail-freight service. A key figure of those days is James Dunsmuir, who inherited his family coal fortune and served as B.C. premier from 1900 to 1902. He ended up owning a large part of Vancouver Island in exchange for building the Esquimalt and Nanaimo Railway, which he sold to the CPR in 1905, the same year he locked out miners in his coal operations for their push to organize a union. Dunsmuir’s hard line provided a boost for a rival, James Jerome Hill, who built the Great Northern Railway in the 1890s and later quit the CPR board in a bitter feud. Hill was happy to supply coal from Fernie. Dunsmuir took a turn as B.C.’s eighth lieutenant governor, sold his coal business and retired to his estate, Hatley Castle, which is now part of Royal Roads University. He is buried at Victoria’s Ross Bay Cemetery. As Halloween approaches, it’s easy to imagine a chuckle from his grave as the railway barons once again rake it in. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

In upgrading the global-polio eradication initiative, experts have come up with a $5.5-billion plan for six years. Because of the threat of polio spreading if not eradicated, governments, organizations and philanthropists have already contributed $4 billion dollars to the fund. Bill Gates has contributed $1.8 billion and has challenged Rotary with a ratio of 2:1 dollars to a maximum of $30 million per year for six years (to 2018). Experts believe the world should be free of polio by 2018, thus giving our children, grandchildren and future generations a polio-free world.

SIDEWALK, PLEASE! EDITORIAL CARTOON OFFENSIVE Editor: I am writing this letter because I am disabled and I am in a wheelchair. It is so hard for me to go to the hospital because it has no sidewalks to get up to the building. It is dangerous. My caregiver has to stop traffic for me to let me cross to get my tests. We are paying good money for our city to be safe. How can disabled people go to the hospital when there are no sidewalks or safe places to get there? Construction people really need to put in sidewalks. Barbara Brayshaw Kamloops
Editor: I am not a person who normally writes to the editor, but I am totally incensed with Ingrid Rice’s editorial cartoon in the Oct. 17 issue, regarding freezing human eggs for future insemination for employees of Apple so they can continue their careers. In most cases, women who choose to freeze eggs have no choice and are choosing to have the best for their future families. The second part of the editorial cartoon suggests that, if by inconvenience the women already has a child, they could freeze them as well. This is disgusting and not in any way funny.

Instead of signs and pamphlets, Proctor plans to use Facebook to get her message out to prospective voters. Proctor said she thinks asking people who support a garbage-less campaign to share her platform on social media can have the same kind of reach and give her the same bump of name recognition as traditional signs. “I think most people now are on the Internet, and I would like to see it used more in our whole election process,” she said.

BEST TNRD hopeful to consult voters DEALS ON TRUCKS LOCAL NEWS
CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
An administrator at Thompson Rivers University is challenging a veteran incumbent for the right to represent citizens in the Thompson Nicola Regional District area that encompasses Cherry Creek, Lac Le Jeune and Savona. Ron McGivern is an associate dean of arts at TRU and a sociologist by training who lives in Cherry Creek, part of Area J. “I think the area needs a fresh look at the issues,” he said. “People need a representative where they don’t assume they know what everybody
wants — you’ve got to go ask.” McGivern said that need to consult with voters, something he pledged to do using social media or a website, is a key part of his platform. He provided, as an example, the need for consultation before raising speed limits on the Trans-Canada Highway through Area J, currently represented by Ronaye Elliott. It is the second time McGivern has run against incumbent Elliott, who has represented the area since 2002. Three years ago, she handily beat McGivern, picking up 199 votes to his 96.
Elliott said McGivern’s criticism stems from the TNRD’s adoption of garbage service in Savona that was once run by the local improvement district. She said it’s the only time she’s brought in a service without going to the electors through a vote. Elliott said she posts signs about meetings but they are often torn down. She also said she held public meetings on adoption of the garbage service. “Everyone who came to the meeting was happy about it and wanted to take it over.” Elliott said she is
running again because she enjoys the position as electoral director and has unfinished
business, including completion of an upgraded park and boat launch in Savona.

With the contribution, there is now more than $90,000 in the fund. Since 2009, income generated from the fund has provided 21 $500 scholarships, which are presented during the annual school-district First Nations graduation ceremony.

Baited by RCMP’s Ford F-350 CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The RCMP bait vehicle parked along River Street proved irresistible to the homeless woman living in a tent by the South Thompson River. On a late August night this past summer, Tanya Crocker opened the unlocked door of the Ford F-350 pickup and rummaged through the cab looking for change, said her advocate, articling student Jay Michi. “She’s told me she was looking for cab fare,” Michi told provin-
cial court judge Chris Cleaveley. Five minutes later, Crocker could be seen on video returning to the truck. Inside were sunglasses, Tim Hortons gift cards and the ignition key. She left again, returning 15 minutes later to steal the truck — attempting to move her belongings away from a party situation beside her tent that she wanted to escape, Michi said. Kamloops RCMP officers tailed the truck to Lansdowne Village, where they shut it down remotely and sur-
rounded Crocker. She pleaded guilty to theft of a motor vehicle and driving while prohibited. The Crown asked for a sentence of between nine months and a year in jail, while Michi argued for three to four months behind bars. Calling it “not your typical theft for profit,” Cleaveley sentenced Crocker to four months in jail. She will also

HILLSIDE DRIVE NEXT TO MARK’S WORK WEARHOUSE
Dawson Gorman, Emily Rogan and Julian Zev walk along the beach of the North Thompson River on a gloomy Friday afternoon, slowly making their way north. The shore lining Schubert Drive is wet and the sand is mucky and slick. The three youths talk idly as a smattering of rain falls from the grey skies above. It’s a fresh morning, the temperature no warmer 10 C. Gorman and Rogan, both 16, and Zev, 10, are out as a part of the ASK Wellness Society’s annual homeless count. They carry backpacks full of food and supplies, mitts and toques. Gorman has a rolled-up pile of surveys in his hands, intended to help get some information from those they are counting: • Name or location description; • Where did you
stay last night?; • How long have you been without a place of your own? “We thought it would be a cool experience,” Gorman says. The pair of Grade 11 students needed volunteer hours to graduate from South Kamloops secondary, though that’s not the only reason they are here. “We don’t really know how homeless people live,” Gorman says. It has been a slow morning for the trio of counters. They’ve stumbled upon a few camps in the bushes lining the river, but have encountered few people. The camps surprise them, even though they thought they knew what they were getting into. Rogan recalls the tents, the clothes hanging to dry on lines strung in between trees. Zev is struck by a pile of CDs on the ground. “Even seeing the camps, it’s like, ‘Wow — people live like this,’” Rogan says.
The 2014 Homeless Count in Kamloops on Friday, Oct. 17, found 77 people living on the street, a decrease of about 20 per cent from last year’s count. The annual tabulation is not scientific as it is affected by the hit-and-miss proposition of finding people whose lives are transitional. But, the annual tally does give agencies a rough idea of how many people in the city are homeless and can help to guide responses to their needs. As they walk past an abandoned shopping cart and climb up the rocky incline to the path running under the Halston Bridge, Rogan says she was a little uncertain when enter-
ing the camps, not sure how the people living there would react. Their demeanour was at first standoffish, but it changed when they realized the three youths were not bylaw officers, not Mounties. The pair in the camp, a brother and sister, didn’t take any of the food or clothing offered. They said they didn’t need it. “They said they needed blankets, but we don’t have any,” Rogan says. The group walks back down Schubert Drive, meeting up with a few other counters who are working in other sections along the river. Their group leader, Glen Hilke, offers to take them back to the ASK Wellness Centre to be assigned another route. “You think you understand,” he says, looking in the trees as he leads the group back to his vehicle. “But, it’s a whole other thing to get into the bushes and see how people are living.”
Program launches in Kamloops People at risk of homelessness, including youth, women, aboriginal people and those leaving correctional facilities or hospitals in Kamloops, will have expanded access to rental assistance and support services with the launch of the new Homeless Prevention Program. The province has selected the AIDS Society of Kamloops (ASK) to be a homeless prevention program provider
in Kamloops. Participants will receive monthly rental supplements to keep their housing costs in the private market affordable. They will also receive assistance from outreach workers who will connect them with community supports and make sure they remain housed. The program is available in six communities and will soon expand to more than 30 com-

Judge rules man will remain banished from city CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man who criminally harassed his former girlfriend and her family will remain banished from the city as part of his probation. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley dismissed an appeal by
Shane Adam to have his banishment from Kamloops declared unconstitutional. Adam’s lawyer, TRU law professor Micah Rankin, argued unsuccessfully that banishment of an offender from his community violates the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Adam was sentenced in provincial court last year to a prison term of slightly more than four months, followed by a two-year probation term that included banishment from Kamloops. “The sentencing judge chose not to imprison Mr. Adams for a lengthy term,” Dley wrote.
HAVE YOU SEEN DANIEL MUNRO?
Kamloops Mounties are seeking the public’s help in finding a teenager who has not been seen for more than a week. Seventeen-year-old Daniel James Munro was last heard from on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 9:30 p.m. when he called his caregiver to say he was on his way to his home in Kamloops. He has not been seen or heard from since and his whereabouts are unknown. Police say there is concern for his safety and well-being. Munro is an aboriginal male who stands six-foot-two and weighs 160 pounds. He has black hair and brown eyes and has scars on both forearms and is know to hang around in the North Shore and downtown areas. Call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 if you know where he is.
“Instead, the judge addressed community safety by tying it to Mr. Adam’s rehabilitation. If Mr. Adam took no steps to rehabilitate himself, then community safety could only be served by his absence from Kamloops for the twoyear term. “However, it was open for Mr. Adam to
return to Kamloops if he was able to show the court that he had taken the necessary steps to reduce his risk to the community.” Adam, 24, has amassed a record for breaches of court orders, harassment, assault and uttering threats. He has lived most of his life
in Kamloops. He threatened to shoot his former girlfriend’s father as well as police who arrested him. Dley said the banishment is necessary to protect the public, particularly his former
girlfriend’s family. Her father is a bus driver who ranges across the city. “Kamloops is not such a large city that banishment from the entire city can be said to be unreasonable or over broad,” Dley ruled.

Hat Tigers for the WHL scoring lead. “The game has slowed down a bit for me,” said Ully, who had four assists in the Blazers’ 5-4 overtime
win over the hometown Seattle Thunderbirds on Saturday, Oct. 18. “It’s way different from when I was 16 or even when I played that one game when I was 15.” The left-winger from Calgary credits much of his hot start to linemates Matt Needham, 19, and Deven Sideroff, 17. “Needer works his bag off every shift and Sider is a skill guy and makes smart plays with the puck,” said Ully, noting the unit began to establish chemistry

in the 2013-2014 campaign. “It helps me out a lot.” Needham, a
Penticton product, is off to the best start of his WHL career, with six goals and 15 points after 13 games, and Sideroff is second among league rookies with 10 points, five of them goals. Ully, drafted by the Dallas Stars in the fifth round of the 2013 NHL Draft, was not named to Team WHL for the Subway Super Series, which gets underway on Nov. 10 when the Dub’s all-star squad plays the Russian selects in Saskatoon.

The Kamloops Broncos have served notice to the rest of the B.C. Football Conference that they can no longer be overlooked. Kamloops recorded 653 yards of total offence and fell just shy of its first playoff victory, losing 48-46 to the heavily favoured hometown Langley Rams on Saturday, Oct. 18. “It was easily the best game ever played by this franchise,” Broncos’ head coach Duncan Olthuis told KTW. “The character these kids showed was amazing. Langley thought they had it won and we didn’t quit. “We just ran out of time.” The Broncos outscored the Rams 22-3 in the fourth quarter but, after Kamloops was unable to recover an onside kick, Langley secured the first down it needed and ran out the clock. In the only other meeting between the teams this season, Langley walloped Kamloops 70-24 on Aug. 31, leaving many to believe the result of Saturday’s showdown

was a foregone conclusion. Stephen Schuweiler had a mammoth game under centre for Hillside Stadium’s stallions, completing 28 of 45 passes for 543 yards, four touchdowns and one interception. “That’s the best game that any quarterback in franchise history has ever had and the best game our offence has had,” Olthuis said. “Offensive co-ordinator Mike Faisthuber called a great game and the kids executed.” Kamloops had contributions from its most dangerous offensive threats. Derek Yachison caught eight passes for 178 yards and two touchdowns. Devin Csincsa finished with 10 grabs, 144 yards and one major. Cory Rollings also caught a TD pass. On the ground, Jacob Palmarin scampered for 113 yards on 10 carries and Schuweiler had two rushing touchdowns. The visitors put themselves behind the eight ball in the first half, allowing the Rams to rumble for 338 yards of total offence. The home team led 31-17 at halftime. See BRONCOS, page A19

“It’s not the first time I’ve been cut or left off of a team,” said Ully, drafted by the Blazers in Round 2 of the 2010 bantam draft, one round behind Needham. “It doesn’t bother me too much. It kind of motivates me.” Team WHL’s roster is subject to change and two players will be added prior to Game 1 against the Russians. The Western league squad plays games one and two, the OHL takes over for three and four and the QMJHL hosts five and six. Ully’s point totals have improved drastically each season — one in 2010-2011, 20 in 2011-2012, 50 in 2012-2013 and he led the team with 72 points in 2013-2014.

inexact science. He would like to play professionally with Dallas or its American Hockey League affiliate, the Texas Stars, but he might well spend his 20-year-old campaign with the Blue and Orange.
“You want to make the jump to the next level but, if that doesn’t happen, I’d be happy to be back here with the boys,” said Ully, who has yet to sign a professional contract. “[Pro hockey] is so close, but it’s still so far away, if you
think about it. “It could be a couple years. It could be five years. It could be 10 years. It could be never. “I’ll just try and take it day by day.”

The Blazers (7-51-0) are tied for third in the Western Conference with 15 points heading into tomorrow’s (Oct. 22) matchup with the Vancouver Giants. Game time is 7 p.m. at Interior Savings Centre. Hometown Vancouver blanked Kamloops 3-0 on Friday, Oct. 17. Ryan Rehill notched the OT winner against Seattle on Saturday. Go online to kamloopsthisweek.com for summaries of the Blazers’ weekend games.
Broncos had record-setting season From A17
“We had a couple of unfortunate turnovers, too. Those things happen,” Olthuis said. “One slipped out of Steve’s hands and we had a couple of fumbles, but we kept going.” The Broncos’ defence tightened up in the second half, holding the Rams to 158 yards of total offence. Kyle Richardson had a game-high six solo tackles for the visitors. Kamloops posted its best regular-season record, 6-4, since joining the BCFC in 2007. Detractors will say it was inflated by victories, all six of them, over the league’s weaker teams, in the Valley Huskers of Chilliwack and the Westshore Rebels of Langford. Bronco backers will argue the wins
were mostly of the convincing variety and it’s clear the squad took a step forward in 2014, separating itself from the Rebels and Huskers. The team’s performance on Saturday should be enough to impress even the team’s most staunch critics. “It was huge, even for showing new recruits we can compete,” Olthuis said. “Every year, we have kids leave because our record hasn’t been that great, but I think a lot of them will have to think twice now about not coming back.” The game on Saturday marked the second post-season appearance in team history, the first being a 63-7 loss to the Vancouver Island Raiders in Nanaimo on Oct. 12, 2013. Kamloops will need all the help it can get next season.
By finishing among the top three teams in 2014, it’s expected the Broncos will play three times each in 2015 against Langley and the Okanagan Sun. Vancouver Island will likely drop down to the lower tier and play three times each against Valley and Westshore. “I haven’t heard any talk about going back to the home-and-home schedule, but it’s something I’d like to see,” said Olthuis, who is not a proponent of the current unbalanced slate. “Kelowna and Langley, that’s an extremely tough schedule if that does happen.” In the other semifinal, the Sun downed the Raiders 47-16 on Sunday, Oct. 19, setting up a championship showdown between hometown Okanagan and Langley on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Corryn Brown described the Hub International Kamloops Crown of Curling as a spiel that has “never really been our friend.” Unfortunately for the hometown rink, which includes third Erin Pincott, second Samantha Fisher and lead Sydney Fraser, 2014 has was no exception. The team finished 0-5, falling short of the playoff round. “We play so great in all the other spiels and I don’t know what it is,” Brown said following a 7-3 loss on Saturday, Oct. 18, against EunJung Kim of Korea. The 2014 Crown did include a first for the Brown rink, though, facing off against Kelowna skip Kelly Scott. Brown and Scott went head-to-head on Saturday night, after playing on side-by-
side sheets earlier that afternoon. “It’s pretty neat because I grew up watching Kelly Scott on TV, so it’s really neat to see that,” Brown said before the draw, which Scott won 5-4. Despite a disappointing weekend, Brown, a former national junior champion, is already planning for the 2015 Crown, hoping her rink can break out of its funk in the Tournament Capital’s cash spiel. “We had our chances in all our games and we just didn’t really capitalize on their misses or didn’t really make things to our best ability,” Brown said. Skip Amanda Russett and her Kamloops rink posted a 1-4 record at the tournament and also failed to qualify for the playoffs. Russett edged Brown 6-5 on Saturday. Kamloops rinks skipped by Brad

HELEN ANNE SHEPHERD
JILL MAUREEN MARRA
January 10, 1929-October 11, 2014
June 2, 1945 – September 30, 2014
“Thankfulness is alive in the midst of sorrow”
Jill Maureen Marra, 69, of Kamloops passed September 30, 2014; living life to the fullest, defying cancer with a loving and peaceful passing.
Anne Shepherd died peacefully at her home on a beautiful sunny day with her loving husband by her side. She is survived by her husband of almost 62 years, Dr. W. Earl Shepherd, her children John (Verna), Cathy Coates, Heather Koots (Don), and Nancy Sulse (Joseph), 10 grandchildren whom she adored (and their spouses) and 6 much loved great-grandchildren. Also survived by her sister Eleanor (Marc) and 4 nieces and nephews.
Jill was born in New Westminster hospital, June 2, 1945 and grew up across the river in North Delta. She graduated from North Delta High, and continued on in her education to receive a Psychiatric Nursing Degree.
Anne was born in Chengdu, China where her father, Dr. T. Harry Williams was a medical missionary from 1920-1942. Although life in the mission fields was challenging, she shared happy memories of birds, flowers, and people she knew then. Evacuated to India in 1942 due to war, the family returned home to Winnipeg where she attended high school, university and nursing school and met Earl at the age of 15, starting a life together that spanned more than 70 years. After they married in 1952, they moved to Vancouver where she nursed at Vancouver General Hospital and as a private duty nurse. Moving to Kamloops in 1968, she returned to university to study early childhood education and then opened her own pre-school where she gave her warm and loving support to many young children. In 1981, she and Earl moved to Chilliwack where they spent 21 years and made many close friends before they returned to Vancouver in 2002 so that they could enjoy the opera, symphony, and other cultural things which were dear to both of them. A focal point of Anne’s life was her involvement in her children’s activities and support of her community and church. From the parent teacher association in 1960 to helping at a seniors centre (when she was 75!), she was someone who could always be counted on to give joyfully of her time, her energy, and her financial support for the betterment of her community. These activities are far too numerous to list but anyone who knew her will remember her dedication and her efforts; it was said that she had probably baked thousands upon thousands of muffins in her busy days! Memorial service will be held at RYERSON UNITED CHURCH, 2195 W 45th Avenue, Vancouver on Saturday, November 1 at 1:00 PM; reception to follow at the church. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Vancouver Opera, 1945 McLean Drive, Vancouver, BC, V5N 3J7 would be graciously appreciated.
Send condolences at www.mbfunerals.com.
Jill was predeceased by her last two husbands, Art Watson & Stu Evans. She will be forever missed by her three sons and their families; Eugene (Jodi), Dave, and Matthew (Stella): plus the grandchildren Darien, Micayla, Hannah, Solomon, Olympia, Azlan, Bodhi, Jasper, Chia, and Jorja. In lieu of flowers memorial donations may be given at the memorial service. This conventional celebration will be held in the North Shore Community Center at the Cottonwoods Senior Complex Wednesday, October 22, 5pm. This will be a potluck and sharing event in a ‘Jill Marra’ way. Please bring your favourite picture and story of Mom. There will be another celebration in the Spring that will allow for more of moms spirit to be enjoyed in an outdoor setting.
“Here ~ I am your angel I will be with you wherever you go, on every high & low place. I will protect you. I will comfort you. You do not have to become anything. You just are. Look at the wonders of my love!” … thanks ma Dear mom, The sun reflects your light upon us. The moon grooves, winking your waves comforting us. Soft, fluffy clouds reign your unconditional love as the mountains shine and embrace your alpine glow clearing our hearts. The glaciers drip your pure thoughts into rivers that nurture us. Fresh winds steady your roots, your flower and creatures engulf our senses, tickling and giggling in sync with miracles. We are forever thankful, this World here and now need follow … Love Dave

His enormous personality and dedication to hard work and the old “stand up for someone who needs it” will be greatly missed by all.

With far too much energy for retirement, he then became an engineer for the Rocky Mountain Railroad, retired again, and then opened up a U-Brew. Leno had a strong passion for hunting and the great outdoors. His vegetable garden was legendary and he loved to can and share his produce with family and friends. A special, heartfelt thank you to Mike and Laura Tjader for their tireless love, commitment, and friendship to Uncle Leno.

In 1969, after many years of being in business, Dad and Mom decided to sell the store and move to the warmer climate and Kamloops was the place. After moving to Kamloops, Dad worked for the SAAN Store and then CNR as a Hostler. Dad worked for CNR in Kamloops until his retirement. Dad moved to Harrison Hot Springs and resided there until he had taken sick in August 2014.

Dad’s hobbies included playing the accordion and he was a member in many old-time bands including his own band “The Knights of Rhythm”. After moving to Kamloops, he started up the band again , and this time he was sometimes joined by his two sons, Allan and Rod. The boys would play with Dad when they could.
Rod had known many people and had touched many lives. He had a big heart and always tried to do right by anyone he met.
Dad enjoyed many things, but he especially loved gardening. He said it was like being back home on the farm.

The Ship I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

If Tomorrow Never Comes If I knew it would be the last time That I’d see you fall asleep, I would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep. If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more. If I knew it would be the last time I’d hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day. If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute to stop and say “I love you,” instead of assuming you would KNOW I do. If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share your day, Well I’m sure you’ll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there’s always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything just right. There will always be another day to say “I love you,” And certainly there’s another chance to say our “Anything I can do?”
A23
But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I’d like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget. Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight. So if you’re waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today? For if tomorrow never comes, you’ll surely regret the day, That you didn’t take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, and whisper in their ear, Tell them how much you love them and that you’ll always hold them dear Take time to say “I’m sorry,” “Please forgive me,” “Thank you,” or “It’s okay.” And if tomorrow never comes, you’ll have no regrets about today. © Norma Cornett Marek ~ 1989

Sgt. Pepper’s symphony DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
P Jean Meilleur will be belting out old Beatles tunes in partnership with the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra on Oct. 25 and Oct. 26 in Kamloops.
eter Brennan looks back on the first Jeans ’N Classics show he created — and he cringes a bit. It was two decades ago and Brennan was asked by the people who run the symphonic orchestra in his hometown of London, Ont., if he could come up with a show that would bring rock and a orchestra together “in some sort of middle ground.” Brennan, whose background is firmly in all things music, from producing and arranging to rocking it out on guitar, said he “stumbled through” creating a show that featured the music of Elton John and Billy Joel.

The next year, he was asked to do it again — and the trademark that fronts what is now dozens of shows that have shared stages with more than 100 orchestras was created. The Kamloops
Symphony Orchestra (KSO) is one of those with which Brennan has worked — and he’s sending another show back this year, one that includes performing the entire discography of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely
Hearts Club Band. Jean Meilleur, vocalist for the show, said it’s one he loves because not many Jeans ’N Classics shows include one complete album but feature well-known songs by musicians. This show will
include all 13 on the 1967 recording, each of them a classic in their own right. Meilleur said he did the show in Massachusetts earlier this month. “There was a 15-year-old and a
16-year-old in the front row and I called them up and I asked, ‘Did you know that last song?’ and they did. “And they knew the one before it,” he said. “Their parents knew it and they’re familiar with it, as will be their

next week,” he said, “but they certainly will cheer for the concept of an orchestra in their community.” Other musicians featured in shows include Led Zeppelin, ABBA, Queen — which was brought to Kamloops last year — the Beach Boys, Elton John, Sting and the Police, U2, Billy Joel, James Taylor, Annie Lennox and the Eurythmics, Fleetwood Mac and KISS. There are four Beatles shows, one that features solo work by the Fab Four, one that deals with the Rubber Soul and Revolver albums, the Sgt. Pepper show that comes to Sagebrush Theatre on Oct. 24 and Oct. 25 and, for next year, one that focuses on Abbey Road. The Sgt. Pepper show covers the album in the first set and spends the second on other Beatles’ songs, backed not just by the orchestra, but with a choir. In Kamloops, it will be the KSO Chorus sharing the stage. Brennan said it’s important the orchestra always be more than “just wallpaper,” but be as front-andcentre in the music as possible, given there’s a rock band and, in the case of Meilleur, a quarter-century veteran who has been with Brennan’s musical creation of 16 years. KSO general manager Kathy Humphreys said the local orchestra loves to partner with Jeans ’N Classics not only because it gives it an opportunity “to connect with a broader section of the public,” but because it showcases the orchestra as something more than musicians “who play Beethoven. “It highlights how the orchestra can be used for so many styles of music and showcases the sound of the orchestra,” Humphreys said. “And, we have so much fun doing it.” Tickets for the show are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-374-5483, kamloopslive.ca.

Be Bear Smart Bears and people come into conflict when our garbage is easy to access and other attractants are poorly managed. Properly storing and securing garbage and other bear attractants is a proven method for discouraging bears and preventing problems in your neighbourhood. Bear Prevention Tips • Freeze pungent waste and store garbage inside until pick up. • Rinse recyclables • Pick fruit daily as it ripens or before it ripens if you don't intend to use it • Do not put meat, oils, dairy or un-rinsed eggshells or cooked foods into the compost bin • Turn your compost regularly and cover with leaves or soil to help decrease odours
If it’s hot, your pet may be in trouble! The temperature in a parked car, even in the shade with the windows partly open, can rapidly reach a level that will seriously harm or even kill your pet.
Bear Bylaw Residents are reminded not to place their solid waste containers out before 4 am on collection day between April 1st and November 30th and to not accumulate or improperly store bear attractants. Violators are subject to a $100 fine.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Help keep Kamloops safe this holiday season by volunteering 6 hours of your time.

Honda crosses over into 2015 with added safety JIM ROBINSON
METROLAND MEDIA
wheels.ca
T
he arguments still rage over which carmaker invented the sedan-derived “crossover” utility vehicleor CUV. But, it was Honda with the CR-V and Toyota with the RAV-4 that were the first (in my memory) to use the term. The RAV-4 was here first in 1994, but Honda was very swift to launch the CR-V as a 1995 model. So intent was Honda at the time to try to deflect attention from the RAV-4, that it brought over some Japanese-spec, right-hand drive models for Canadian journalists to test. After Civic, CR-V is Honda Canada’s most important product, so any changes are taken seriously. For 2015, the goal was to make it more efficient, but also more functional and add confidence to the owner with the latest passenger-driver safety aids. Efficiency starts with a new 2.4-litre inline fourcylinder with direct fuel injection, which is part of Honda’s Earth Dreams Technology. Direct injection offers two benefits — more power and better fuel economy. In this case, the engine has 185 hp, the same as the engine in the 2014 CR-V. But, torque is 11 per cent more than the 163 lb/ ft in the 2014 model.
All models have a CVT transmission and all-wheeldrive (AWD) except for entry level LX with frontwheel-drive (FWD). The new, 2015 fivecycle fuel economy test sees the FWD return 8.6/6.9/7.8L/100 km (city/ highway/combined) and 9.1/7.2/8.3L/100 km for the Honda dubbed Real Time AWD models. That represents an improvement of 1.7/0.8/1.3L/100km and 1.5/0.7/1.1 L/100km, respectively over 2014 models (using the five-cycle method). Suspension for 2015 remains MacPherson struts at the front and a multi-link setup at the back. On all but the LE, the track is slightly wider, thanks to bigger tires. And, there is revised shock tuning for better road feel. You might wonder why Honda goes with a more expensive multi-link rear suspension instead of the torsion beam and the answer is it opens rear seating and cargo room. A large rear liftgate leads to one of the largest cargo areas in the segment with 1,054 litres behind the rear seat and 2,007 litres with the seat folded. A first for CR-V (on all but the base LX) is the inclusion of a seven-inch touchscreen telematics display, which acts like a smartphone letting the user pinch, swipe or tap. Also part of this is the optional next-generation HondaLink satellite-nav-

igation system, which is super accurate, as I found out earlier this year in the Honda Fit. For those not interested in the sat-nav system, the CR-V still has a full-colour intelligent Multi-Information Display (i-MID) that offers a range of customizable features via fingertip controls on the steering wheel. A bonus is a standard SMS text messaging function and Bluetooth HandsFreeLink phone interface. There are six trim levels offered, starting with the LX FWD/AWD at $25,990/$28,350. The SE starts at $29,790 followed by the EX at $31,790, the EX-L at $33,790 and the range topping Touring at $35,790. New to the lineup for
2015 is the Canadian exclusive SE that comes with the seven-inch Hondalink system, Smart Entry/PushButton Start, 17-inch aluminum-alloy wheels, bodycoloured door handles and mirrors, front wiper de-icer and LED daytime running lights. At the top of the ladder is the Touring, which boasts the first Honda application of two advanced driver-assistive technologies — Collision Mitigation Braking System (CMBS) and Lane Keeping Assist System (LKAS) along with the first CR-V adoption of Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC). Previously available in luxury automobiles, this is a great example of how driver-passenger safety aids are trickling down — good news for all of us.

on all trucks and select RV units.
On the top four trim models is my new favourite safety feature called LaneWatch. When you flick on the right-hand turn signal stalk, a camera mounted under the right side mirror shows all the traffic on that side of the car on the centre stack screen. It not only lets you know how fast traffic on that side is gaining, it makes moving in the right lane or turning a breeze — and no more blind-side surprises. I was able to drive the Canada-specific SE which is probably the model which will attract the most buyers through its combination of price and content. Readers are probably fed up by now with my carping about size versus definition and the CR-V
is no exception. Considered a compact CUV, it is nothing of the sort. I am sure this 2015 CR-V is as big as the mid-size Pilot was only a few years ago. The driver sits quite high with a commanding view of the road ahead and clear sight lines added immensely by LaneWatch. Proof the 2015 CR-V is larger is found as simply as getting in the back seat, which is now more than capable of making three adults comfortable on a cross-country drive. Honda has kept the CR-V current by carefully adding those qualities consumers want in the compact CUV segment. The 2015 model is bound to continue on that successful road.
