‘She didn’t have to die that way’ Fast Eddy Family members of woman who died in apartment fire blame IHA’s broken system ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
M
atilda Olineck, the woman who died after a late-night fire at Glenfair Seniors Complex on Monday night, was failed by a system that didn’t listen to family concerns, her daughter says — a system the Interior Health Authority said listens to families but, more importantly, clients. “We definitely provide a level of care and support that allows people to remain in their homes as long as possible,” said Cathy Thibault, IHA administrator of community integrated health in Kamloops. “As long as individuals are capable, they have the right to make their own choices about where they choose to live, even if that means accepting certain risks.” Olineck, 72, is believed to have fallen asleep with a lit cigarette, igniting a blaze Kamloops Fire and Rescue said caused burns to 60 per cent of her body, including her back, arms and head. Neighbours pulled Olineck from her suite and extinguished the fire with a garden hose shortly after it started, but she died hours later at Royal Inland Hospital. Matilda’s daughter Jeanne doesn’t believe her mother should have been allowed to stay at Glenfair. “My mom had a lot of health issues,” Jeanne told KTW. “But, to die burned alive, that’s a horrific,
• Better Construction • Juicier • Flare-Ups eliminated • Commercial grade steel parts • Patented infrared system
horrific thing to happen. She didn’t have to die that way.” The IHA, meanwhile, said it is unable to speak to the specifics of Matilda’s case or how the system handled it. “I can’t comment on whether the system failed her, but I can comment that this is not an outcome that we take lightly,” Thibault said. “What failed, I’m not quite sure, but we want to learn from this and if there is any reports or reviews, we will be looking at anything we can.” Two weeks ago, Matilda underwent assessment to see if she was capable of living on her own — she was deemed competent, as she had been many times before. That, Jeanne said, was in spite of the fact Matilda sometimes thought it was 1973 and couldn’t remember what she had for breakfast or if she had taken her medication. She was incapable of managing her own personal care, her daughter said. “We kept saying, ‘She’s not fit to live on her own, she can’t do this anymore,’” Jeanne said. Most of Matilda’s clothes had burns in them, Jeanne said, and, when her family tried to substitute tobacco for an e-cigarette, Matilda attempted to light it with a lighter, too. Jeanne said her mother’s health had been in decline for some time, but the situation became notably worse over the last year. A major stroke about seven years ago and a series of mini-strokes since led to problems with her memory and ability to reason. See FAMILY, page A11

As Edward (Fast Eddy) Dostaler ran through Quebec City, across the St. Lawrence River and within 250 kilometres of New Brunswick, the finances of the back half of his “There and Back” cross-Canada journey were increasingly dire. The fact is, Dostaler is no longer 100 per cent certain he’ll be running back to B.C.’s Pacific coast. “I would say 90 [per cent],” Dostaler told KTW from just outside Quebec City. “As far as I know — and what I would like to do — is still run there and back and I see it happening no matter what, because I gave people my word and that’s important to me, keeping your word.” Committed or not, Dostaler said he is running out of money.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo a two-horse race, Sundhu says ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
As far as Bill Sundhu is concerned, the race for the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding is between two parties. While national polls through the summer have seen the three main parties mostly keeping pace, the NDP candidate said he doesn’t see Justin Trudeau’s Liberals making much headway locally. “If you look at the history of this riding, the fact of the matter is the Liberals have not won this riding since the early ‘70s,” Sundhu told media at a campaign launch event yesterday at his Tranquille Road headquarters. When the riding last went to the polls in 2011, the Liberals garnered about five per cent of the vote. In 2008, it was eight per cent. This time out, Sundhu said he isn’t expecting a red surge. “We know in Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo it’s a contest between the New Democrats and the Conservatives and, if people want progressive change and they want to stop [Prime Minister Stephen] Harper, it’s Bill Sundhu and the New Democrats in this riding,” he said. Change was the theme of the launch, with Sundhu, a Kamloops lawyer, casting his party as the best choice to topple the reigning Conservatives and reverse a swath of Harper policies, including the

The 87-year-old driver of this Isuzu Rodeo was taken to hospital with undetermined injuries on Tuesday afternoon when he apparently failed to navigate a left turn on to Highway 1 from Highland Road and crash into a train. Emergency personnel used the jaws of life to remove him from his vehicle and took him to Royal Inland Hospital.
TNRD says no to pump warnings After Kamloops City Council voted 5-3 against using his group’s climate-change warning labels, Matt Hulse didn’t fare any better with the ThompsonNicola Regional District board of directors. Hulse, a spokesperson for the non-profit group Our Horizon, spoke to the TNRD about a plan to install cigarettestyle labels to gas stations around the district, warning of the effects of climate change. Earlier in the week, Hulse was at Kamloops City Council, asking the city to change its business licensing regulations to require all gas pumps carry the labels. TNRD chair John Ranta told KTW that Hulse took more of an informational approach with the regional district — explaining the proposal before September’s meeting of the
Union of B.C. Municipalities, where the initiative will again be voted on. But, when a motion of support was proposed by one of the TNRD’s directors, it was defeated by the board. “Really, the only way something like that is going to work is if Our Horizon had a whole array of other global-warming or environmental organizations backing the initiative, then they might get some traction,” Ranta said. “At this point, I think asking individual municipalities to make it a condition of a business license is probably not going to work.”

BRIEFS allow weed-control officers to inspect district properties on a complaint-driven basis. “It does give us a bit of a hammer,” said Electoral Area L (Grasslands) director Ken Gillis, who is also the chair of the TNRD’s invasive plant committee. Officers will have the authority to issue written notices to landowners, requiring invasive plants on their property be controlled within a designated timeframe. As a last resort, the regional district will now have the authority to enter the property and deal with the plants at the expense of the landowner.

Roundabout in the works for Fifth Avenue and Nicola Street Traffic circle necessitated by Royal Inland Hospital expansion ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A new clinical services building in the works at Royal Inland Hospital will have a roundabout effect on Nicola Street. The roadway is getting its second mini traffic circle at the intersection of Fifth Avenue. Construction on the project will begin in about two weeks. City traffic and transportation engineer Elnaz Ansari said the roundabout is being funded and overseen by Royal Inland Hospital, which needs a u-turn route out of the new 350-stall parkade included in the building, which is scheduled to open in 2016. Vehicles will exit the building near Fourth Avenue and, because of new concrete medians being installed in the middle of Columbia Street, they’ll only be able to turn right, Ansari said.
There is no “concern ... about the loss of parking.
”
— ELNAZ ANSARI
To go west, drivers will have to go to Fifth Avenue, where the roundabout will allow for a smooth turnaround. A neighbour near the project who didn’t want to be identified told KTW she has concerns about the mini roundabout’s effects on parking in an area home to a number of busy medical practices. Ansari said the city thinks there will still be adequate spaces and another property adjacent to the intersection has welcomed the move. About a dozen spots will be lost once the traffic circle goes in. “Based on what we’ve seen of usage, there should still be parking available to
residents in the four corners,” Ansari said. “We’ve spoken with all four property owners and there is no concern from the other property owners about the loss of parking.” Nicola Street is also home to a mini roundabout at the 12th Avenue intersection, a
pilot project intended to improve traffic flow for cyclists, since it eliminates the need to stop at an intersection. The project turned heads at the time, due to city signs which showed a $300,000 price tag for the work. Ansari said the roundabout actually

cost $140,000 to build — but the bill for the Nicola Street roundabout was bundled with a sidewalk installation on the North Shore, which accounted for the rest of the cost. She said the city plans to be clearer on its signs in future.

Double drunk driver avoids jail with ninth conviction Wayne Camille plans to pay his fines, in part, with money he received in the residential-school settlements TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man who was busted driving drunk twice in one month last year — his eighth and ninth convictions for impaired driving — has avoided a jail sentence. Instead, Wayne Camille will have to
pay a fine that prompted questions from a WAYNE provincial court CAMILLE judge when initially presented. Camille, 58, was caught driving drunk twice in November —
once when an officer pulled him over in the parking lot of a Sahali liquor store and again when he blew through a four-way stop at between 40 and 50 km/h. Lawyers pitched a joint submission that would see Camille pay $2,000 in fines and be banned from driving for two years
in exchange for guilty pleas to two counts of impaired driving and one count of driving while prohibited. “The primary sentencing goals here are denunciation and deterrence,” Crown prosecutor Laura Drake said. But, Kamloops provincial court judge Chris Cleaveley
pointed out the joint submission was actually less than the mandatory minimum fine of $2,500 for the three guilty pleas. Drake then upped the joint submission to $2,500. Cleaveley also questioned how such a sentence would deter drivers from repeatedly driving while drunk.

“If the Crown is seeking the minimum fine, there’s not much denunciation and deterrence, is there?” he asked. “For a fine to denounce the second offence, the fine would have to be more than the one for the first offence. It seems odd that denunciation and deterrence for the second offence is the same penalty for the first offence,” Cleavely said. “I’m not calling the sentence into question but, effectively, there isn’t an awful lot to denounce or deter others.” Cleaveley eventually agreed to the plea
bargain after hearing the circumstances of Camille’s life, which include a stay at residential school as a youth and a series of severe bull-riding injuries that left him on permanent disability. Camille’s seven previous convictions for impaired driving occurred in the 1980s. Court heard Camille plans to pay part of his fine with settlement money he received for having attended residential school. With all of the surcharges factored in, Camille owes $3,175 in fines. Cleaveley also imposed a two-year driving ban.

PUTTING THE BRAKES ON DRUNK DRIVING Though the temperatures are noticeably starting to cool — especially at night — there’s no question summer is still in full swing. The beaches are still packed and people are still enjoying a few cold ones at backyard barbecues and gatherings. Unfortunately, summer holidays, sunshine and high temperatures can combine to concoct a deadly cocktail of people drinking and driving, despite years of seeing the negative consequences of such actions. RCMP hold roadblocks and police the roads best they can, but we all need to do our part to end drunk driving. Only a concerted effort will drive the message home that we need to put the brakes on drinking and driving for good. If you know your circumstances may include a couple of drinks, take the time to arrange a ride home or ensure you have a designated driver. It’s much easier to take the time and plan ahead, compared to what you will deal with if you drink and get behind the wheel. It can save your life, the lives of those you love or the lives of innocent others. One bad decision can leave scars that never heal and a trail of shattered lives ruined by a booze-fuelled lapse in judgment. You can be part of the solution by letting the police know if you see someone who is drinking and driving. While programs like drinking and driving CounterAttack and media coverage have resulted in a reduction in impaired driving offences, the sad reality is there are still people out there who just don’t get it. So, please, enjoy your summer and help spread the word that there are more than just the RCMP watching.

System needs a prescription
I
got a call from a senior on the weekend who had gone to her local pharmacy to get refills on four prescriptions. She returned and was told the store couldn’t give her the medicines because her doctor had retired. This senior protested, as we all would, pointing out he wasn’t retired when he wrote the prescriptions and she needed the medicines for things like sleep and pain and depression — she is still grieving the sudden death of her husband. The druggist was sympathetic but told her Pharmacare had rejected the refills because the doctor is no longer practising in the province. He has moved back to Ontario to be closer to family and had told the senior he had transferred all his patient files to a walk-in clinic. It should be noted this situation did not arise in Kamloops. Four days later, we learned a lot about the way prescriptions are handled in the province and what seems to be really strange logic applied to her situation. She encouraged this column because, although the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons says it doesn’t happen often, it happened to her and she expects it will happen to others. First, when the pharmacist told her she had been rejected by Pharmacare, he was wrong. The four prescriptions are not covered by Pharmacare, the provincial body that helps with the costs of the many drugs it covers. It’s an issue with PharmaNet, the B.C.-wide network that links all of the province’s pharmacies to a common data system. It’s what will alert a druggist, for

LEVEL example, if someone has allergies or is filling her fourth opiod prescription of the month, all designed to improve safety. It’s what they refer to when identifying potentially harmful medication interactions, things you might not be aware of if, for example, your GP prescribes one med and a specialist writes a script for another — and neither is aware of each other and the fact the two medications might conflict with each other. It makes sense. The senior’s doctor, having retired and moved east, is no longer recognized in PharmaNet, nor are any of the prescriptions he’s written that continue past his retirement date. It doesn’t matter to the system that he was a doctor when he wrote them and that it’s just the regulations that restrict how many months of refills you can get that has put the senior in this position. She’s been getting refills every three months and has two more she thought she could access. She went to the walk-in clinic where the doctor had sent his files but it appears that’s all he did — no one there was actually taking on that load of patients.
She tracked down a new doctor moving to her city, one who appeared to be taking new patients, called her to make an appointment and was told the office won’t start bookings for another two weeks. She went back to her pharmacist and, from what I can gather from her emails and calls, pretty much played the stressedout, grieving senior without a doctor who needs those medications to get through the day. They gave her two weeks’ worth of each of them. “How many people know about this?” she asked me. I didn’t. I’ve been lucky, having changed doctors three times in the 16 years since we moved here, going without one for about four months. I asked the health ministry, which referred me to the B.C. College of Physicians and Surgeons because it’s that body’s requirements with PharmaNet that are coming into play here. It’s director of communications, Susan Prins, said it encourages retiring doctors to do what they must to provide continuing care but, when that doesn’t happen — kind of hard to do it if a doctor suddenly dies, for example — the expectation is colleagues will step in and help. The message this senior wanted to send out is simple: If your doctor is retiring, ask who will take over the practice. If no one is doing this, don’t just accept it. You may find yourself like she did, stressed out, not sleeping, in pain and without a doctor — and with refills that could have helped her but couldn’t be dispensed. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
RIVER’S TRAIL NEEDS PAVEMENT TO WESTSYDE Editor: I would like to see the River’s Trail paved all the way out to Westsyde Park. Speaking with several people, they would like to see it paved as well. Years ago, when they were starting the paving, a very small number of people opposed the paving and it was stopped immediately. It is such a nice, quiet walk but, with baby buggies and bikes, it is very hard for families to use it. I believe the original reason for stopping the paving is because they didn’t want skate-
boarders overtaking the trail. I don’t believe that would be an issue today, as you don’t see many skateboarders outside the skateboard parks . Please advise what would need to be done to have the paving started. Thank you for your time.

SENIOR’S GROUPS NEED SPACE FOR PICKLEBALL The hockey rink would accommodate at least 10 courts. After all, we have 180 members trying to play outside on four courts on the North Shore. We are a very active senior’s club keeping fit and healthy. This is the new age now
for seniors and we would like the City of Kamloops to acknowledge this by offering active seniors more space outside to play.

Following evidence and submissions, the discipline panel issued its decision on June 23. It found Rishiraj: • Administered deep sedation to Zindoga when neither he nor the facility were authorized to do so, and without comply-

ing with the college’s guidelines for deep sedation; • Ran his practice to promote “efficiencies” by treating as many patients in as short a time as possible; • Failed to recognize Zindoga’s cardiac arrest in a timely way and delayed resuscitative measures as a result; and • Failed to adequately monitor his patients while they were under sedation. The panel concluded Rishiraj’s failure to adequately monitor his patients and recognize Zindoga’s cardiac arrest could be characterized as incompetent practice. On Monday, college lawyers told the penalty hearing Rishiraj was reckless and cavalier and any penalty must reflect his great misconduct. The dentist could face a fine, suspension or both. Following the college’s decision last month, Rishiraj filed notice he was appealing the June decision by the college. He continues to practise as an oral surgeon in Kamloops under limits and conditions imposed by the college. Rishiraj is not entitled to administer anesthesia beyond moderate sedation using only one class of agent (benzodiazepines) and was required to hire additional expert staff and to change protocols and procedures in his office. Any deep sedation required is provided by authorized medical practitioners and
Rishiraj must ensure patients are continuously monitored by accredited staff. Meanwhile, Zindoga, has filed a medical malpractice lawsuit against Rishiraj and his dental assistant, Sara Chalmers, in B.C. Supreme Court. It seeks unspecified damages for Zindoga, who is represented by her mother as a litigation guardian. Zindoga now lives in a Okanagan residential treatment centre for people with brain injuries. The malpractice suit also claims an ambulance attendant discovered a piece of gauze blocking Zindoga’s airway. After the gauze was removed, the paramedic intubated Zindoga, who had stopped breathing. Rishiraj filed a response in B.C. Supreme Court, admitting he was not approved to provide deep sedation, but denying other allegations. The response said Rishiraj and Chalmers recognized Zindoga’s cardiac arrest and started appropriate resuscitation. The response to the lawsuit also claims Zindoga’s mother, Evelyn, failed to disclose her daughter was admitted to Royal Inland Hospital’s emergency department for complaints of chest pain prior to surgery. The response also stated Rishiraj was not told Zindoga was being treated and taking medication for migraines and psychiatric illness. The trial is scheduled for Oct. 17, 2016.

Fires, forests high on gov’t agenda TOM FLETCHER
BLACK PRESS
As mayors and councillors from across the province prepare to gather in Vancouver for their annual September convention and meetings with the B.C. cabinet, the state of B.C. forests and the threat of fires is top of mind. A resolution up for debate from Premier Christy Clark’s constituency of West Kelowna calls on the province to take the lead on for-
est fuel management, directly funding and managing it for private as well as public land. It notes that, despite high costs and widespread damage from the 2014 forest fire season, the province’s Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative excluded operational activities and was restricted to financing community-protection plans. The program spent $62 million between 2004 and 2014 to assist
local governments reduce interface fire risk. Applications for fuel projects were halted last year when the budget was spent and this past May, the forests ministry put another $5 million in for projects on municipal or provincial land only. The province maintains fuel projects on private land are best left to local governments to co-ordinate with their individual
public land programs. In the wake of beetle losses and reduced timber harvest limits, Williams Lake, Quesnel, 100 Mile House and Wells are calling for the province to improve certainty on the working forest land base. Their resolution calls for the province to “deliver the full allowable cut allowed under the BC Timber Sales program” and “complete a science-based inventory of available
timber supply.” Forests Minister Steve Thomson said in an interview the province’s $80 million increase in inventory funding over 10 years has been focused on areas hardest hit by pine beetle infestation. “I’m confident that we have significantly improved information that is going into the timber supply reviews and timber supply
Her daughters believe she had dementia. Once a woman who made beautiful Ukrainian Easter eggs, a gifted seamstress and embroiderer, an amazing cook, Matilda’s decline robbed her of those talents. In the months leading up to her death, Jeanne and her sister Jackie worried increasingly about their mother’s safety. But, without a declaration of incompetence, there was little the family could do. “She’s not safe — she’s not safe to herself, she’s not safe to the people around her,” Jeanne said she told doctors and nurses. One doctor agreed, she said, but added he was unable to do anything. This is exactly what I told them was going to happen. “They said, ‘Well, she’s passing the tests’.” Thibault said it is ultimately the client who makes the decision on where he or she will live.
Assessments and the clinical judgment of doctors also play a role, but central is the client’s right to make the choice. She added doctors and other health professionals can encourage seniors to make the transition to a residential-care facility, but anything beyond that is a legal process the family must undertake. Jeanne is hoping three changes can come from her mother’s death. First, that seniors with dementia not be allowed to refuse care — or a move to a residential facility — when they are no longer able to care for themselves. Second, that smoking not be allowed in residences like Glenfair, especially when it could present a danger to those involved. A non-smoking policy was implemented at the complex in July of this year. Matilda, who had lived in the building for 22 years, was one of about 10 ten-
ants exempt under a grandfather clause. And third, that the assessments for determining competency be changed to better assess a senior’s ability to handle real-life situations. Nurses often referred to the fact Matilda said she would call 911 in the event of a fire, even though Jeanne asserted her mother didn’t know how to use a phone. “We need to see that there’s changes, because this shouldn’t have happened. She could have died of anything but it didn’t have to be this horrible, painful, excruciating death,” Jeanne said. “Watching her gasp for her last breath and in pain while she’s gasping for those breaths, that was really, really, really hard to see.” Glenfair is a downtown facility owned by BC Housing, with 80 units geared toward seniors (55 years and older) or people living with a disability or on a fixed income.

BRIEFS and technology co-ordinator there. They can also call Ron Collins, the district’s vice-principal for trades and transitions. He can be reached at 250318-7492.
‘I’m going for it, no doubt about it From page A1
When he embarked on his 21,585-kilometre journey at the beginning of March, Dostaler was already behind the 8-ball — his estimates were he needed $30,000 to finance the run, but he was only able to raise $18,000. Of that money, $2,200 went to a company to design and host his website, fasteddycanada.com. His cellphone bills have been eating up roughly $170 a month, covering the long-distance calls to media outlets and uploading pictures and videos to the Internet for his followers. Another $9,000 went to the 29 pairs of runners he needed for the trek, the cost of his running stroller, camping gear and food. Dostaler figured he left Kamloops with about $7,000 to cover meals, the occasional hotel stay and any other expenses along the way. “We all knew I went into this with less money than was needed, but I went in because I knew I gave people my word,” Dostaler said. “As long as I have some finances in my bank account, I’m going for it, no doubt about it.” Dostaler’s biggest expense since the run began has come in the way of lodging — he didn’t anticipate not being allowed to camp within cities and, as a result, has had to book a few more hotel stays than he planned for when he left the Tournament Capital for the other side of the country. Still, the 26-year-old said he doesn’t have any regrets with how he has spent his money — he said he has done the best he could under the circumstances.
FIND YOUR PASSION. FIND YOUR PURPOSE.
As for not being able to complete the back half of the run, Dostaler said it would be “devastating, heart-breaking, heart-wrenching,” should he have to call it quits after he lands in St. John’s, N.L., later this year. “I put so much time and effort into this — this has been two years of my life,” Dostaler said. “Honestly, I know a lot of people would say it wouldn’t be, but that’s failure. You didn’t complete it. Congratulations, you did 70 per cent. You ran there and almost back. I’m not an almost kind of guy.” Dostaler hopes to be in New Brunswick by the first of September, after which he will head to Moncton, Chartlottetown, PEI, and Halifax, N.S., before wrapping up the first half of his run in Newfoundland and Labrador. Also falling short thus far are the donations collected for his causes. Dostaler said he has raised between $8,000 and $9,000 in support of Alzheimer’s Disease and breast cancer research, but left Kamloops with the goal of raising $250,000. Dostaler he expects the fundraising to pick up should he do the back half of his journey — people will be more likely to get behind the cause when they see him running in –40 C. But, is the There and Back journey a success if it costs more than it raises? “At first, before I did this, I thought absolutely not,” Dostaler said. He has a different perspective, though, nearing the halfway point. “It’s not necessarily about fundraising in general, but the change in which you’re willing to put into it and what can come out of it. Maybe its not a financial goal, but seeing people be better people, seeing people act on random acts of kindness and doing nice things, that, in general, is a success.”

BLOODLINES AND EMERSON DRIVE
DALE WALLACE UP FOR ANOTHER CANADIAN COUNTRY AWARD DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
here’s a laminated poster on display in a room of Dale Wallace’s Nashville home. It is for Changes — the Emerson Drive keyboardist’s first band — advertising its first gig, a Valentine’s Day dance at John Peterson elementary. “I was in Grade 9, maybe Grade 8, at the time and the next Monday back at school, well, people knew who I was because they’d been at the dance. That was my start — and I got a lot of girlfriends from it,” he said with a laugh. Two weeks after graduating, Wallace was on the road doing exactly what he wanted to do, he said, although the mode of transportation then was an old mobile hot-dog stand he and his bandmates converted to be their home away from home — a far cry from the nice big bus they have to travel in
now when the country band hits the road. Before joining the band in 2002, Wallace and his keyboards played with Aaron Pritchett, Farmers Daughter, Doug and the Slugs — but it’s with Emerson Drive that he’s had the greatest success. “I googled myself the other day,” he said. “And this is the 13th time I’ve been nominated [for a Canadian Country Music Association award].” “I’ve won five of them in the last 12 years.” He will find out on Sept. 13 when the CCMA hands out its annual statuettes whether he’s been named the best keyboardist again. But, before that, there’s a gig in Maine and a couple of days fishing there with Brad Mates, Danick Dupelle and Mike Melancon — the rest of the band — and then Country Music Week in the Nova Scotia capital. The band’s presenting an award, Wallace said, but he enjoys the annual celebration because it gives him a chance to reconnect with other musicians he doesn’t
get a chance to see much anymore. When he makes trips back home to Kamloops, he also tries to fit in some time to see local musicians like Corey Evans and Steve Chicoine, guys he’s played music with in the past. Wallace said his love of music — and country music in particular — likely goes back to his childhood when dad Gary would hold jam sessions in their Barnhartvale home. “All they played was country,” Wallace said. And, eventually, he started playing too, slipping in a Floyd Cramer tune or something similar. “I still wanted to throw in a Rolling Stones song,” he said of the country set list. “Nobody wanted to play KISS with me, either. “I guess you could say country music has been in my blood since I was a little kid.” There are plenty of special moments in his career, the last 12 years spent with Emerson Drive, but one stands out.
It was the first time he played the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. For some, just taking the stage there in the Ryman Auditorium might have been special but, on this night — remembering his dad’s love of country music and of his son’s role in promoting it — Wallace turned on his cellphone, called his dad and set the phone down on his keyboard so Gary could hear the concert. “That was a big-time moment,” he said, “old-school country for my dad. He and my mom and my step-parents have been behind me all the way.” His band is his other family, Wallace said, one he spends more time with than he does his actual family. He said one of the reasons the four of them can do that is they’re careful not to step on each other’s toes. “When you’re on a bus for hours and hours on end, well, if someone is feeling a little crispy, you just give them some space,” he said. “We’re actually tighter than a family.”

ARTS & ENTERTAINMENT and some even boogied into the water. The club of about 30 people has members in Chase and Kamloops. It hosts differ-
ent levels of dancing throughout the week but will be hosting square dance lessons for new dancers on Thursday nights beginning on Sept. 17. The 10-week long sessions at Desert Gardens, 540 Seymour St., will be held from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., for $2. Merv Meyer, caller for the group, hopes to engage some youngsters. “It’s a real challenge,” he said. “Right now, I think our youngest dancers are just under 50.” He added, tongue and cheek, that if people would put down their smart phones, they could reap benefits of square dancing. “We know that it’s very good exercise for your mind and your body,” he said. And, he said, “It’s fun. We’re laughing all the time.” Square dancing involves four couples — eight dancers — arranged in a square, each facing the middle. Dancers are cued through a sequence of steps by a caller to the beat of music. The local group dances to a mix of country, rock and roll and older tunes. “We’re also trying to get into the more modern stuff,” Meyer said. “We try to do a good variety of music.” The group also hosts additional levels, such as round dancing —choreographed ballroom dancing — twostep and waltz. The provincially proclaimed Square Dance Awareness Week is Sept. 13 to Sept. 19. For more information, go online to thompsonvalleystars. quaredance.bc.ca, call 250-376-5636 or email Merv Meyer at meyerdance@telus.net.

ime to be upfront — I did not eat two of the four courses this column is about. The crustacean family and I don’t get along too well so, with a menu featuring shellfish, well, a head’sup had to be given to Romeo Oloresisimo, chef of the restaurant at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre that bares his name. But the restaurant’s idea — How It’s Made — was enough of an incentive to book a couple of seats for the evening and invite another foodie who, lucky lady, can eat shellfish and survive.
DALE BASS
What
WE ATE So, friend Wenda Noonan got to try the scallops and clams featured in the first of the four courses Oloresisimo’s staff served up as he took centre stage at the patio of Romeo’s Kitchen and Spirits to show us all how it’s made. Each course was
paired with a selection from a local winery. For this instalment of the feature — the first one was held a few months ago — Monte Creek Ranch Winery was chosen. First course: Grilled scallops with papaya salad. (The scallops were exchanged for chicken on my plate.) Over to Wenda for her impressions: “Asian inspired salad that consisted of bean sprouts, slivered red pepper, chopped
mango, hairlike strands of hot pepper and finished with chopped peanuts to give it that creamy consistency. Topped with perfectly grilled scallops. Dressed with a house-made lemongrass vinaigrette. (Chef’s tip: Don’t over-season the scallops. Salt and pepper and a really hot grill are all you need). “A young wine, the frontenac gris paired with it was a nice complement, not too much acidity but just the right amount of fruitiness to work with the dish. The salad was absolutely perfect for a hot mid-summer night.” Who knew you could use hay to smoke fish but that’s
what Oloresisimo did for the second course, smoked trout with steamed clams. (I got a beautiful hunk of salmon on orzo. Wenda was jealous.) She said the delicate smokiness of the trout was the highlight of the dish. It came with what the winery calls Hands Up, a white blend of frontenac blanc, viognier and la crescent. I didn’t like the wine much but am a dedicated red fan. A menu not too heavy on vegetables — there were none — the next course was grilled sirloin on a bed of goat-cheese and herb polenta, with a honey shallot jus and, finishing it off, a dollop of chimichurri. Polenta should be creamy and this one was close to perfect; it had a bit of that “been sitting

CUISINE every bite, however, she observed it to be a creation that melted in your mouth — and was impressed with the overly large brandy snifter in which it was served. Having the chef explain how he creates his dishes is a great idea, one the restaurant will repeat in September with an Italian kitchen theme. Food and beverage manager Shawn Harnett — no slouch himself when it comes to cooking — said the idea came from Oloresisimo and restaurant manager Nicole St. Godard. They wanted to promote the restaurant, obviously, but also highlight some of the local produce. For more information, go online to romeoskitchen.ca.

under the heating lights too long” to its texture, but the flavour imbued from the addition of goat cheese to the cornmeal made up for it. This one came
with a Hands Up red, a blend of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, frontenac noir and marquette. It had cab in it — that sealed the deal for me. The dinner wrapped
up with lemon curds topped with some grilled apricots and a green-tea syrup. It came with another white. By then, Wenda and I were just enjoying

Blazers have 20-year-old conundrum MARTY HASTINGS
KTW will look ahead to the 20152016 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign by addressing five areas of the team in a series that starts today. Stories will run each Thursday until Sept. 24, a day before the season opener. In today’s instalment, we break down the club’s 20-year-old dilemma, with three spots available and at least four players fighting for jobs. Next Thursday, we take a look at the Blazers’ blue line. Each story in the series will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Click on the ‘Blazers’ tab.
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
S
omeone has to go. Assuming Cole Ully plays professional hockey in Texas, there are four Kamloops Blazers in the running for three overage spots on the roster this season. With centre Matt Needham expected to captain the Blazers for the third consecutive campaign, defencemen Marc McNulty and Ryan Rehill, along with forward Luke Harrison, will be left fighting for their hockey lives in Kamloops. “We’re all good buddies and will continue to be buddies but, when you get out on the ice, there are no friends and I want that spot and so do the other guys,” said McNulty, a six-foot-six, 210-pound blue liner from Medicine Hat. “One of us will go and it’s up to the coaches to figure that out.” The local WHL club’s training camp gets underway tomorrow and wraps up on Sept. 1 with the Blue versus White intrasquad game at the Sandman Centre. Game time is 7 p.m. For a complete camp schedule, go online to blazerhockey.com. At first glance, it might seem Harrison is on the outside looking in, competing against two NHL draft picks who would provide veteran leadership on an otherwise youthful back end — but it’s no foregone conclusion. The Blazers have a dearth of big, strong, gritty, two-way forwards — and Harrison fits that bill. “I like to play a physical game, a shutdown role, and I like to provide a lot of energy,” said Harrison, who was traded to Kamloops from the Victoria Royals in November 2013. “I feel like that’s a big asset that the team does need.” Harrison, who is six-foot-one and weighs 207 pounds, is certainly no joy to play against and he pitched in offensively last season with 23 points, 12 of them goals. General manager Craig Bonner will weigh into his decision the play of those younger defencemen — such as 16-yearold prospects Nolan Kneen and Conner McDonald — and Czech Republic import Ondrej Vala, the 17-year-old D-man picked

11th overall by the Blazers at the CHL Import Draft in June. If they show well at camp and throughout the pre-season slate, it might make it easier for the eighth-year GM to part with either Rehill or McNulty. “We’re going to keep, for sure, one older guy back there, but it’s going to come to exhibition and how that young group can handle things and how the new European fits into the mix,” Bonner said. “If you’re talking about Harry, he’s a great guy in the room and he brings an element that we don’t have a lot of. It’s not going to be an easy decision.” Rehill made it clear he wants to finish his junior career in the Tournament Capital in an interview with KTW after exit meetings in March. “I’ve grown up here with the team and with the guys and made so many friend-
ships and relationships with coaches and teammates and Toledo [Blazers’ trainer Colin Robinson],” said Rehill, who was picked by the Blazers in the sixth round of the 2010 bantam draft. “I would be pretty upset to not play here next year.” Rehill, who is six-foot-three and weighs 225 pounds, was selected by the New Jersey Devils in the fifth round of the 2014 NHL Draft and McNulty was picked in Round 6 in 2013 by the Detroit Red Wings, but neither have been signed to contracts. Each of the sizeable defencemen attended summer development camps with the teams that drafted them and will head to NHL training camps in September, Rehill to New Jersey and McNulty to Detroit. The Blazers have until Oct. 10 to decide which three overage players are staying, a decision that could be influenced by Ully’s

standing with the Dallas Stars and their American Hockey League affiliate, the Texas Stars. If Ully is returned to Kamloops before the January trade deadline, the Blazers can carry four 20-year-old players for 14 days before league rules require they move one of them out of town. “We’ll stay in touch with Dallas as the process goes on,” Bonner said. “This is kind of an exciting problem to have because the last couple years we haven’t had the group of 20s like we do this year. “We like all of them. Training camp and, more importantly, exhibition will work things out.”
Injury bug bites early
The Blazers will open training camp without McNulty and 17-year-old forward Quinn Benjafield as both players will be out for about two weeks due to injuries. McNulty suffered a hairline fracture in his foot during off-season training about three weeks ago and Benjafield underwent an appendectomy in early August. Benjafield, a six-foot-one, 180-pound forward, is entering his second season with the Blazers. McNulty and Benjafield are both expected to return to the lineup during the WHL pre-season, which begins for the Blazers on Sept. 4 when Prince George comes to town. Game time is 7 p.m. at the Sandman Centre.

least the next 30 days. Police pulled Sydor over around 5:15 p.m. on Thursday in suburban Fridley after observing him driving erratically, according to the criminal complaint filed in Anoka County District Court. His blood-alcohol level later tested at 0.30 per cent, more than four times the legal limit, the complaint said. Sydor, 43, was charged with two counts of seconddegree drunken driving because of the aggravating factor of having a child in the car, with a maximum sentence of a year in jail and a fine up to $3,000. “It gets the point of being disturbing. When you choose to drink and drive that’s one thing. But, when you choose to drink and drive with your child in the car at such a high level, where you know you’re so obnoxiously impaired, that’s almost disgusting to me,’’ Fridley Police Lieut. Michael Monsrud said. The former NHLer’s lawyer Ryan Pacyga spoke on his behalf. “He’s hurt, he’s upset, he’s embarrassed by his actions and his family is, too,” Pacyga told the Star Tribune. “He’s so worried about his family and the team right now. I told him, ‘You’ve got to take this time to work on you because without you being good with you, none of that other stuff is going to be around anyway. So, have the courage to be vulnerable and have the courage to go deep inside yourself where you don’t want to go.’ ” Sydor, from Edmonton, has been an assistant coach for the Wild for the
DARRYL SYDOR
past four seasons. “We are aware of the reports regarding Darryl Sydor. We are continuing to gather information and will have further comment at the appropriate time,’’ the team said in a statement. According to the complaint, Sydor told Officer Erik Johnson he was taking his son to a hockey tournament in Plymouth and they were lost. The boy was in the front seat and didn’t say anything but kept looking at a GPS app on the phone in his lap. Sydor’s eyes were bloodshot and watery, and his speech was slow and slurred, the complaint said. He had trouble finding his driver’s licence even though it was in his wallet. The officer smelled a strong odour of alcohol on Sydor’s breath. “On several occasions, defendant stopped and told his son, ‘I’m sorry,’’’ the complaint said. The boy told Officer Zak Chlebeck they got lost on their way to a 6:30 p.m. game in Plymouth and that his mother was in Canada visiting family. “He was now crying and upset that his dad had been pulled over,’’ the complaint said. The officer called the boy’s mother, Sharlene Sydor, and told her what was happening.

If Brennan Ettinger moves men like he moves weight, the Westsyde Blue Wave can look forward to great pass protection for the next five years. The 13-year-old football fanatic won the deadlift competition in his division at the Great Northern Bench Press and Deadlift Championships in Olympia, Wash., on Saturday with a lift of 314 pounds. “We just went down there to have fun and see what the competition would be like,” said Brennan, who works out at Acceleration Kozoris Strength and Conditioning. “Actually, deadlift is a thing I’ve been forgetting to do lately.” Heading into Grade 8 at Westsyde, the fivefoot-10, 213-pound offensive lineman has been working hard at Kozoris to be in tiptop shape for football season, having already honed his craft in the Kamloops Community Football ranks. The weightlifting competition was just an aside, something his dad suggested he try for fun. “He was getting very strong with leg presses,” said Dave Ettinger, Brennan’s father. “He is now doing 710 pounds on the

Brennan Ettinger, 13, of Kamloops deadlifted 314 pounds to win gold in his division at the Great Northern Bench Press and Deadlift Championships in Olympia, Wash., on Saturday.
leg press, three sets of 10 reps, with strict form. “That’s more than I can do. So, we felt he should try a deadlift competition.” The announcer at the competition told Brennan he had set a Canadian record with his lift. Mike Armstrong, secretary with the Canadian Powerlifting Union, said the record cannot be recognized because Brennan is below the organization’s minimum age of 14.
“It may have been one of our sub-junior records that he exceeded, but it would not count as an official record for us in any event,” Armstrong said. Still, the feat was impressive. “We were there watching it,” Dave Ettinger said. “It was pretty cool. Any parent would be like, ‘Wow, is this really happening?’” Winning gold at the Great Northern earned Brennan a berth at the World Association of Benchers and Deadlifters World
Championships, which run in Las Vegas from Nov. 17 to Nov. 22. “My wife is really pushing that we go,” Dave said with a laugh. “Everybody was so friendly and helpful in Washington.” Brennan, who turns 14 in September, might consider the trip an early birthday present. “I’ve got to give a shout out to my dad and Koz [Greg Kozoris] for showing me deadlifts,” Brennan said. “I’m still trying to process everything, actually.”
Pauwels earns lacrosse award Kyle Pauwels of Kamloops was honoured with a plaque for leading the NCAA Division 2 lacrosse ranks in shooting percentage in the 2015 season. The Pfeiffer University attackman had a .606 shooting percentage in his freshman season and was three points
higher than the second-place finisher. Pauwels was one of five players to record a percentage of .500 or higher, scoring 40 goals on 66 shots in 15 games. Pauwels, who returned from the North Carolina university to help the Kamloops Venom
win the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship, also ranked 12th in the nation in goals per game, with 2.67, and was third in the Carolinas Conference with 40 goals for the season. He was seventh in points, with 55.

NATIONAL SPORTS Rooney nets hat trick NEIL DAVIDSON
CANADA NAMES RUGBY WORLD CUP TEAM
THE CANADIAN PRESS
MANCHESTER, England — Manchester United had double reason to celebrate yesterday — the team is back in the Champions League group stage and Wayne Rooney is back scoring goals. Rooney ended a scoring drought of 10 games stretching back to April 4 with a hat trick in United’s 4-0 win at Bruges, helping the English club to a 7-1 victory on aggregate. While the competition welcomed back one of Europe’s biggest names, a club with a very different pedigree also advanced. Formed just six years ago, FC Astana became the first team from Kazakhstan to qualify for the group stage after drawing 1-1 at APOEL Nicosia for a 2-1 aggregate win. — Associated Press

TORONTO — Canada named its 31-man Rugby World Cup roster on Tuesday, hoping the return of veteran forwards Jamie Cudmore and Jebb Sinclair will help revive a team that has lost seven straight test matches and is 1-10 since the start of 2014. Coach Kieran Crowley had previously announced an expanded 35-man squad while waiting on the health status of Cudmore (concussion), Sinclair (knee), Taylor Paris (groin) and Jason Marshall (knee).
3,650 0 .9 All but Paris made it. The 22-year-old back, who helped Agen win promotion to France’s top tier next season, returned to action last Saturday and played well in Canada’s 41-23 loss to the U.S. only to injure his knee. A broken arm has also kept prop Tom Dolezel off the roster. Locks Tyler Hotson and Jon Phelan are healthy but also miss out. James Pritchard, Canada’s all-time leading scorer, was left off the preliminary list.
The Vancouver Canucks have signed forward Adam Cracknell. The deal is widely reported to be a one-year, two-way contract worth US$575,000. Cracknell, a six-foot-two, 210-pound native of Prince Albert, Sask., had an assist

At 36, he was deemed surplus to requirements with other kicking options and more versatile players available at fullback. Canada, ranked 18th in the world, opens play at the World Cup on Sept. 19 against No. 2 Ireland in Cardiff before taking on No. 15 Italy, No. 7 France and No. 17 Romania in other Group D play. The top two teams in each of the four groups advance to the quarterfinals. The Canadian men’s recent form has been poor. The team lost all four matches at the Pacific
and two penalty minutes in 17 games with Columbus last season. The 30-year-old forward added 10 goals and 10 assists in 40 American Hockey League games with Springfield and Chicago. Cracknell made his NHL

Canada went 1-2-1 at the 2011 World Cup, finishing fourth in its group after beating Tonga and drawing Japan while losing to France and New Zealand.

Canadian relay team eyeing medal LORI EWING
THE CANADIAN PRESS
BEIJING — Former sprinter Glenroy Gilbert knows firsthand that when 16 large men are travelling through a small space at top speed, there is bound to be trouble. And, Canada has certainly had its fair share lately. Canada’s men’s 4x100metre relay team has seemingly been disqualified in more races than not over the past few years and it’s a trend Gilbert would like to see end at the world championships on Saturday. “It’s a difficult event,’’ said Canada’s relay coach. “These are big guys and these lanes are 48 inches wide and you’re trying to pass a stick with guys running at pretty high velocities in a 20-metre box. It’s not easy. Technically you have to be very sound. “And, if you’re trying to win, you really have to push the exchange zones. And, by pushing them, however, you can push them a bit too much and run into error.’’ The Canadians seemingly had bronze in their hands at
the 2012 London Olympics, but jubilation quickly turned to heartbreak when they were disqualified for a lane violation — Jared Connaughton had stepped on the inside line. Since then, Canada was DQ’d at last summer’s Commonwealth Games and the IAAF World Relays earlier this year — both for violations in the exchange zone. At last month’s Pan Am Games in Toronto, the Canadians were draped in the Maple Leaf, already celebrating their victory when three countries launched a joint protest. Gavin Smellie had stepped on the line. Canada was DQ’d again. “They’re humans, even though they’ve done it time and time again, mistakes happen,’’ Gilbert said. “You try to get around the corner in a shorter distance, but you don’t realize how close you are.’’ Gilbert pointed out the rules weren’t as strict when he competed — a runner had to step on the line three consec-
utive times to be disqualified. Gilbert, 46, was part of Canada’s relay glory days that included two world titles and an Olympic gold medal. The time of 37.69 seconds that Gilbert, Donovan Bailey, Bruny Surin and Robert Esmie recorded in winning the 1996 Atlanta Olympics still stands as the Canadian record. “I tell the [current] guys all the time, for me personally, I’d love nothing better than to see them run as fast as we did, or faster,’’ Gilbert said. “Are they capable? For sure they’re capable. But, I also told them: you’ve got to go out there and not make mistakes.’’ Canada’s pool of relay runners includes Andre De Grasse, who’s coming off a remarkable bronze-medal performance in the 100 metres, Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney, Gavin Smellie, Akeem Haynes and Justyn Warner. Gilbert said the team has the potential to win a medal. Canada ran a clean race at the world championships two years ago to capture bronze. “Certainly, if you look at the numbers and you look at the bodies, and speed of each of these guys, for sure,’’ he said.
The key, of course, is running clean. In what’s become almost a game within a game, countries will look for violations. The runners cross the line and teams have 30 minutes to launch a protest. “It’s disappointing and I’ve said this to the guys, especially after Pan Ams, that that’s really what it has come to,’’ Gilbert said. “You have to run a clean race because, really, the ruling on the track doesn’t count for anything. “Ultimately, if there are other countries and they’ve got their iPads out and they’re looking at each zone, and they’re looking for infractions so they can take it to an appeal jury afterward. So we have to run clean and we have to run fast.’’ Gilbert said there’s a sense of camaraderie among this group of sprinters that perhaps wasn’t there when he ran. “I think they’re closer than we were, because they’re all friends,’’ he said. “I wouldn’t say we were, we just got the job done. We needed to work together and we did, and that was the extent of it.’’
Los Angeles estimates significant Olympics surplus for 2024 Games MICHAEL BLOOD
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Anxiety over taxpayer costs helped cripple Boston’s 2024 Olympic bid, but organizers in potential stand-in Los Angeles projected that they could stage events from Santa Monica Beach to the Hollywood Hills and bank a $161-million surplus. Los Angeles, which hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympics, is viewed as the likely replacement for Boston’s failed bid because the city’s many existing venues could help keep costs low. The Los Angeles plan projects spending $4.1 billion; Boston’s operating budget was about $4.6 billion, but billions more could have been needed for construction, security and other costs. The Los Angeles
figures released on Tuesday provided the most detailed look to date on estimated expenses to run the 2024 Games in California. According to the documents, the bulk of the funding would come from broadcast revenue, sponsorships and ticket sales. “In Los Angeles, the spotlight is always on. We have the resources, experience and secure environment to share the biggest events with the world,’’ the proposal states. The Los Angeles City Council is expected to vote tomorrow on a proposal giving Mayor Eric Garcetti authority to execute agreements linked to the city’s bid. Over the years Olympics have been notorious for cost overruns and studies have questioned if host cities benefit economically.

After graduation he joined the CNR in Edmonton as a lineman at the age of 18. Over Jim’s 36 years of service he held many positions from a foreman to becoming an Outside Plant Inspector until his retirement in 1986. He made many good friendships with his co-workers that continue until today. It was while working up in the Terrace area when he met Betty Hoffman at a baseball game. They were married on November 1,1958 and the following September their first child Debbie was born in Kamloops. In 1964 Audrey was born in Terrace followed 21 months later in Prince George with the birth of their son Rick in 1966. Jim love to spend time in the outdoors camping, fishing and boating with his family. Dad was an active father and when Rick was in Boy Scouts attending many campouts he then became a camp cook at the Ruckle Point District Boy Scouts camp. Grandpa was a keen supporter of grandchildrens sporting activities. Also a very avid Kamloops Blazers fan holding season tickets for several years. This is one of the reasons they didn’t want winter away, Dad might have missed a hockey game. He and Betty went on many holidays throughout their retirement including a 6 week trip camping to the Yukon and Alaska with friends. It was then Dad grew his beard and kept it for the rest of his life Not one to remain idle Jim worked with the Handi Dart Service for 7 years and then re-retired at age 64. After his final retirement Jim became a volunteer transporting patients to the cancer clinic in Kelowna for years, also with the Canada games and Briar. At the age of 77 Jim went with Developing World Connections to tsunami ravaged Sri Lanka to help build a school. Jim was a devoted husband, father and grandfather, his family meant everything to him. Dad could be counted on for his wisdom and support, he always had the right answer or solution, he was a very loving and wise man. There is a big void in our family and we will miss him immensely.

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the passing of Kent Joeseph Parkinson. Kent passed away suddenly on August 13, 2015 at home. Kent was born on December 14, 1954, the second son of Lorraine (Moss) and Floyd Parkinson in Estevan, SK. He lived with his family in Logan Lake before settling in Kamloops.
In Loving Memory Of WILF BRADLEY June 22, 1937 August 27, 2010
Kent was so looking forward to retirement which he was able to do in May 2014 after a 35 year career at the City of Kamloops, where he worked as Stores Supervisor. He loved his job and was very good at it. He often came in early to do tasks that were not required of him. He tried to work with everyone to get the job done, made many friends through his job. Kent was a loveable, smart, quiet, shy, reserved man, well unless you wanted to talk fishing, which was his passion! He was an avid fly fisherman, and tied his own flies, often using his own patterns. He would tie for friends and people he didn’t know. Between ice off and ice on he could be found at some of his favourite lakes, Jacko, Roche and Pass. Since he didn’t eat fish he was a catch and release fisherman. He formed many friendships on the lake and will be missed by Jeff, Jim and Chuck, a few of his “cronies”. He is survived by his partner and friend, Gail Follweiter, his pride and joy, daughters Chelsea, Kassidy and Kendall, sisters Leslie, (Stephanie, Tyler and Jordan), Susan (Gene) and Jennifer (John), brother Keith (Cole, Bailey), sister-in-law Penny (Stacey (Greg) Hannah and Chloe). Of course his four legged friends, Lily and Izzi will miss his loving scratches and early morning walks. He is predeceased by his parents Lorraine and Floyd Parkinson and brother Kurt. As per Kent’s request there will be no service . The family will be having a private gathering at a later date.
Forever in our hearts
Your Loving Wife Ann and Family

Thank You
November 22, 1950 - August 27, 2014
It is a significant loss, as our hearts are filled with so much love and respect for this great man. As a father, husband and friend he has shared his wisdom, showed his grace and integrity in many difficult situations in each of our lives. Throughout the years, David has been “our rock”, always there with unwavering love, support and providing an ear to listen. We are grateful for the gift he leaves us, a wonderful example of unconditional love. David was born and raised in Kamloops, where he carried on to have his family, and become a proud businessman with the Chevron Bulk Plant. After retirement from the bulk plant he delved into the travel business becoming co-owner of Cruise Holidays in Richmond, BC. After yet another retirement he became a licensed Realtor. David was not afraid to recreate himself and start again, always up for a new challenge. He was an active member of the community and loved to golf. David enjoyed lively conversations about politics or different current events. He had an appreciation for the difference of opinion and enjoyed the sport of a good debate.

Celebration of Life WILLIAM “BILL” CLEVERLY
TO ALL PARENTS ... By Edgar Guest “I’ll lend you for a little time A child of Mine” He said, “For you to love while he lives, And mourn when he is dead. It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three, But will you, till I call him back Take care of him for Me? He’ll bring his charms to gladden you, And should his stay be brief, You’ll have his lovely memories As solace for your grief. I cannot promise he will stay Since all from earth return, But there are lessons taught down there I want this child to learn.
Please join us on Sunday, September 6, 2015 from 1:00 4:00 pm for tea and refreshments in Bill and Jean’s beautiful back garden to share in an afternoon of remembrance with family and friends. 744 Cumberland Ave, Kamloops, BC
I’ve looked the wide world over In my search for teachers true, And from the throngs that crowd life’s lanes I have selected you. Now will you give him all your love, Nor think the labour vain, Not hate Me when I come To call and take him back again? I fancied that I heard them say Dear Lord, Thy will be done. For all the joy this child shall bring, The risk of grief we’ll run. We’ll shelter him with tenderness. We’ll love him while we may, And for the happiness we’ve known Forever grateful stay. And should the angels call for him Much sooner than we’d planned, We’ll brave the bitter grief that comes And try to understand.

Obituaries & In Memoriam ELLIS, Edwin Maurice “Ed” 28 January 1921 – 18 August 2015 It is with great sorrow that Ed’s family announces his death at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, BC at the age of 94. He was predeceased by Bonnie, his best friend and wife of 70 years. He is survived by his children Marilyn (Harold) Gordon of Kamloops, Donna (Derek) Cox of Black Creek, Kathy (Clayton) Martin of Cowichan Bay, Gerry (Rosa, deceased) Ellis of Kamloops, and Jack (Claire) Ellis of Crofton, foster children Richard and Jeannie Hanuse and their families, along with sixteen grandchildren, nineteen great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandson. Ed was born John Oliver Gossel in Winnipeg, MB and at the age of seven months was adopted by the Ellis family of Shellbrook, SK. He graduated from high school at Macdowall, SK in 1939 and enlisted in the RCAF. After completing basic training at the Manning Depot in Toronto, he went to flying school in Trenton hoping to become a bomber pilot. But because of air sickness, he went back to Toronto where he trained in mechanics and motor transport. While stationed at No. 5 Bombing & Gunnery School at Dafoe, SK, he met Bonnie who was a cook in the officers’ mess and they were married there in 1943. They were the first RCAF couple in Canada to receive permission to marry while both were in uniform. After being posted to Prince Rupert and Prince George, Ed left the RCAF in 1946 and the family moved to Campbell River where he began his career in the trucking industry, driving for General Construction during the building of John Hart dam. In 1947 he, Bonnie and their two daughters moved to the Comox Valley where he drove for Island Freight until it was bought by CP Transport at which time he quit driving to become terminal manager. In 1959, Ed was transferred to Port Alberni for a year then to Campbell River. After leaving CP Transport in the late 1960’s, he went back driving, first for Orecan Mine, then for Kelsey Bay Freight and finally for Westmin (now Nyrstar Myra Falls) eventually becoming manager at the Tyee Spit loading dock and weekend supervisor at the mine. Retiring in 1985, Ed and Bonnie moved to Kamloops to join their son Gerry in his trucking business. Dad was very well liked and respected by everyone he knew and worked with, and he was very devoted to his family. He loved us unconditionally, and by example taught his children the importance of dedication, honesty and loyalty in whatever we did without looking for special recognition. We are so grateful that he passed suddenly and peacefully and is now reunited with Mom. He missed her every day since her death 15 months ago, and they are both now with God. The family thanks Dr. Andrew Wynne and the staff at The Hamlets in Westsyde for their compassion and care, and Personal Alternative Funeral Services for final arrangements. Ed and Bonnie will be commemorated on a plaque at the Maritime Heritage Centre in Campbell River, and their ashes will be interred at Hillside Cemetery in Kamloops in May 2016. “Together Forever”
Madeline Evelyn Rankel April 20, 1936 – August 17, 2015 It is with great sadness that the family announces the passing of Madeline at RIH surrounded by those she loved. Madeline will be lovingly remembered and missed by her husband of over 60 years, Bud, her sons Renwick (Penny), Robert (Heather), step-son Tracy (Sandy), sister Jean (Al), brother Valie (Elsie), sistersin-law Patricia (Lindsay), and Lorraine Senger and her husband Fred Bell, grandchildren, nieces, nephews and a greatgranddaughter. She was predeceased by her parents, three sisters and two brothers. Madeline was a devoted wife and mother whose family was the center of her universe. She was a quiet and private person who asked nothing for herself. She was always thinking of others and continually putting their needs ahead of her own. Born in St. Cyr Lake, Saskatchewan she remained a country girl her whole life. From those roots she learned to be an excellent seamstress, knitter, her cooking skills were legendary, canning everything dad could grow in the garden or pull out of the lake, jams and jellies, there was nothing she couldn’t bake, and it was all outstanding. One of her many joys was visiting family or having them come to visit her and dad. When things would slow down she would sit in their country home and quietly read until the next visitor dropped by. A Funeral Service will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, September 12, 2015 at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. Please join the family for a reception following the service.

GLOBAL VIEWS
Korean crisis control — or living grumpily ever after
H
aving just been on holiday with two very strong-willed little boys ages eight and nine, I feel particularly well qualified to explain why the two Koreas went to the brink of war over some loudspeakers, but didn’t go over the edge. George and James could explain the process even better themselves, but child labour laws prevent them from writing for newspapers, so I’ll do it for them. It began with a land-mine explosion in the Demilitarized Zone between the two countries that severely wounded two South Korean army sergeants. The mine was of an old Soviet design, so Seoul said it must have been put there by North Korea and demanded an apology from Pyongyang. The North Korean denied it, of course, but Pyongyang gets very upset every year around this time, when South Korea and the United States hold their annual joint military exercises. So, to punish North Korea, South Korea re-activated the loudspeakers that used to broadcast anti-North Korean propaganda across the DMZ until they were turned off 11 years ago. Nobody could hear the propaganda except North Korean soldiers on the other side of the DMZ, so it’s hard to see what actual harm it was doing, but North Korea rose to the bait with alacrity.
What keeps these struggles “from ending in real violence, and what usually restores order in the end, is adult intervention.
”
GWYNNE DYER
World
WATCH A week ago today, North Korean troops fired a rocket and several artillery shells at the loudspeakers, though none seem to have hit them. South Korea responded with a barrage of dozens of 155mm artillery rounds, which led North Korean leader Kim Jong-un (the pudgy one with the very bad haircut) to declare a “semi-state of war” and set a 48-hour deadline for the loudspeakers to be turned off. Otherwise, Kim said, his troops would carry out “indiscriminate strikes” against the South. This would have been a grave threat if he actually meant it, since most of Seoul, a city of 25-million people, is within artillery range of the DMZ, but the Saturday deadline passed without further shooting. Instead, urgent talks began on Saturday in the “truce” village of Panmunjom, in the middle of the DMZ, between Hwang Pyong-so, the political director of the North Korean armed forces, and Kim
Kwan-jin, national security adviser to the South Korean president. The talks lasted more than three days, with the South Korean loudspeakers still blaring out and North Korean artillery, landing craft and submarines moving toward the frontiers. “If nothing is agreed, we have to continue the broadcasting,” said the South Korean representative at the talks. “We are tired of speaking the language of escalation.” That last sentence didn’t even make sense. Were Kim Kwan-jin and his North Korean counterpart really flirting with the idea of a war that would certainly kill hundreds of thousands of people, and might even turn nuclear, over some loudspeakers? Maybe, but there was a distinct lack of panic in other capitals and, in the end, they made a deal. That brings us back to the two little boys. Siblings who are close in age, even if they are friends, are also rivals and they generally squabble a lot. They often get locked into quarrels over matters of little or no importance and
seem unable to walk away from them. What keeps these struggles from ending in real violence, and what usually restores order in the end, is adult intervention. Even if they resent it, the kids also secretly welcome it because it frees them from the trap of their own emotions. The adults in this case are the greatpower allies of the two Koreas: China for the North and the United States for the South. It’s not that Americans and Chinese are really more grownup than Koreans. But, being farther away, they could see how petty the confrontation really is and they had no intention of being dragged into a war over it. So, in the end, North Korea expressed “regret” about the land mine and South Korea turned off the loudspeakers — and everybody lived grumpily ever after. Or something like that.

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

Careless driving, smoking penalties on way TOM FLETCHER
BLACK PRESS
tfletcher@blackpress.com
The B.C. legislature is being recalled Sept. 28 for a fall session that will likely deal with increasing penalties for distracted driving and careless smoking. The B.C. government has signalled its intention to increase penalties in both areas. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton
announced preliminary results of public consultation on distracted driving penalties at the end of June, with 90 per cent of respondents calling for stiffer penalties for using smartphones while driving. Anton said the current $167 ticket for distracted drivers is not sufficient for repeat offenders, who could have their vehicles impounded. Saskatchewan has
introduced a one-week seizure of the vehicle for drivers who get two distracted driving tickets less than a year apart. After dry conditions sparked an early start to the forest-fire season, Forests Minister Steve Thomson announced a review of penalties for violating campfire bans and tossing lit cigarettes. Thomson appointed Prince George-
Mackenzie MLA Mike Morris, a former RCMP superintendent, to lead a similar review of those penalties. Morris said he was considering the vehicle impoundment option for careless tossing of cigarette butts and prohibiting people from camping in provincial parks if they violate campfire restrictions. Fire bans allow use of camp stoves or barbecues with briquets for
cooking, but conservation officers continue to find people lighting wood fires that give off sparks and can spread in dry conditions. The fall session will complete an unusually busy year for the B.C. legislature, which was recalled in July to authorize a project development agreement for the Pacific Northwest LNG gas export project proposed for Prince Rupert.

Province seeks mining agreement with Alaska TOM FLETCHER
BLACK PRESS
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
B.C. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett is spending this week in Alaska, his second trip this year to work out a formal agreement on mine regulation between the state and the province. Bennett has meetings lined up with Alaska conservation groups, state legislators, commercial fishing representatives and Alaska Governor Bill Walker. With major mine projects proposed on both sides of the border and continued public concern in the wake of last year’s Mount Polley tailings dam collapse near Quesnel, Bennett is hoping to have an agreement ready for Walker and Premier Christy Clark to sign later this year. Several B.C. mine projects have opened or received permits to proceed this year in northwest B.C., where salmon-bearing river systems extend across the Alaska panhandle to the Pacific Ocean. Two of those mines are
just north of Stewart B.C. and Hyder, Alaska near the Unuk River, which flows into Tongass National Forest in Alaska. Brucejack Mine is an underground project expected to proceed with construction this year. Its tailings are to be returned to the mine shaft, reducing concern about environmental impact. Near Brucejack is the KSM Mine, one of the largest copper and gold ore deposits in the world. It was given B.C. permits last year for a design that includes open pits and a pair of tunnels to carry ore 23 kilometres away for processing. Bennett plans to fly into the Taku River region, where B.C. has issued permits for the Tulsequah Chief mine south of Atlin. It also plans a tailings storage site to restart mining on two ore deposits that were previously mined in the 1950s. “We’re going to meet with dozens of different interests and people, do a lot of listening, but also make sure that Alaskans become a bit more aware of how
much access their government has to our processes in B.C.,” Bennett said. The Alaska government participated in the approvals for KSM and others, but many state residents aren’t aware of that, he said. Many Alaskans are aware of the Mount Polley situation, where recovery work continues a year after millions of tonnes of mine waste poured into Quesnel Lake. Testing of water and aquatic life continues and the water continues to meet Canadian drinking water standards. “It’s going to take years to have any long-term certainty on this, but so far it would seem that there hasn’t been a negative impact on aquatic organisms that we know of today, or on humans,” Bennett said. An engineering review of all operating tailings dams at B.C. mines was ordered after the Mount Polley investigation found a glacial material layer that was undetected led to the dam failure in early August 2014.
