The past looks to the present DALE BASS AND CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTERS dale@kamloopsthisweek.com • cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

As the long federal election campaign continues to its Oct. 19 destination, KTW reached out to the last three MPs to serve the riding — Len Marchand (Liberal), Nelson Riis (NDP) and Betty Hinton (Conservative) — to get their perspectives on the campaign. Only Hinton did not return calls. Marchand was MP from 1968 to 1979. Riis was MP from 1980 to 2000. Hinton was MP from 2000 to 2008. Here, then, is a look at the action on the hustings thus far, through the eyes of Marchand and Riis. Len Marchand says he’s done his political thing and is looking to the “new generation out there” to govern the country. It’s fair to say, however, that Canada’s LEN first First Nations cabinet minister is MARCHAND keeping an eye on the campaign. His first observation? It’s too long. “That’s so wrong,” he said of the 11-week campaign that he says he’s watching “up to a point.” The big issues for Marchand — a former MP and Senator — are the econNELSON omy and the environment. RIIS An agrologist before he was a politician, Marchand said one of his early local projects as an MP was a result of the vagaries of the environment. “The dikes. That was a big one of my big projects back in 1971, 1972, when the Oak Hills floods came,” he said. “We built dikes to deal with any more flooding.” See FORMER MPs, A6

NDP to review kids’ sports tax credit CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

An NDP government would retain the current tax credit for sports only if it can be proved it is working to get more kids to play, leader Thomas Mulcair told reporters in Kamloops Wednesday. To a backdrop of young street hockey players outside McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre, the New Democrat leader announced an NDP government

would invest $28 million to help lowincome families with costs of sport. That funding would go to Sport Canada to be channeled into direct family supports to help with registration fees and equipment. But, in response to a question, Mulcair said an NDP government wants to determine if the current child-fitness tax credit is working. “We think it’s a very good idea to give families a tax credit to give them a hand with their kids’ sports and participate,

exactly what we’re doing here today,” he said. “But, one big problem is Mr. Harper [Conservative Leader Stephen] has refused to have those things measured.” Mulcair said the goal of measuring effectiveness of tax credits was mentioned by the parliamentary budget officer this year. He wants to determine whether those targeted measures are having the desired effect of getting more kids off the couch. See MULCAIR, A7

The new school year in B.C. is the start of a three-year transition to a new curriculum Education Minister Mike Bernier said will emphasize “hands-on” learning. The new curriculum is being phased in this year for Kindergarten to Grade 9, with higher grades still in development. Bernier said this year it will be up to local school districts and teachers to begin implementing it before it becomes mandatory in the fall of 2016. Grade 10-12 curriculum is to be mandatory in 2017. Bernier, the Peace River South MLA appointed education minister this summer, said he’s heard

from teachers who are looking forward to a curriculum that allows more flexibility and individual learning. He stressed that basic skills of reading, writing and arithmetic will remain, but students will also be taught life skills, communication, collaboration and critical thinking. Two areas of emphasis for the new curriculum are environmental education and an aboriginal perspective, which Bernier said will be present in “every single component in the curriculum.” Local schools are encouraged to work with aboriginal communities across the province to represent the full diversity of aboriginal experience, he said. Hands-on learning is already in place in

schools. Bernier used the example of a shop teacher in his hometown of Dawson Creek who encouraged students at risk of dropping out to take his course. They learned mathematics and physics through taking motors apart and reassembling them. Bernier invited parents to look for themselves at grade-by-grade documents posted at curriculum.gov.bc.ca, listing learning standards and areas of emphasis. In the science curriculum, for example, students are to be taught “big ideas” that in Grade 1 include “observable patterns and cycles occurring in the local sky and landscape.” By Grade 8, they are to learn that “Earth and its climate have changed over geological time.”

But who will pay for the needed resources? DALE BASS

One question remained unanswered at this week’s board of education meeting — who will pay for the needed resources to teach the new curriculum? School District 73 administration said they had no information on this but, on Tuesday, Education Minister Mike Bernier said he expects to make a couple of announcements addressing this in the next two months.

Bernier acknowledged teachers will need the appropriate tools for the new curriculum. He said he’s been consulting with the B.C. Teachers’ Federation (BCTF) on needed resources. The transition begins now, with teachers given the option to use the new curriculum from kindergarten through Grade 9. The curriculum was created in collaboration with the BCTF, the Federation of Independent School Associations and the First Nations Schools Association. Anyone interested in learning more about it can go online to curriculum.gov./bc.ca.

Anti-Ajaxers question KGHM cash

Environment — to chip in for a portion of the $300,000 review of the mine it plans to carry out using SLR Consulting. The city also approached mine proponent KGHM Ajax, which has agreed to cover the full cost of the review. Coalition spokeswoman Cindy Ross Friedman said in an email that, because the group didn’t mention the city’s review when it was raising funds, it would be “a breach of trust” to use the cash for anything other than its intended purpose: to hire its own experts “to critique key deficiencies in the application.” Nor are the groups particularly impressed with the city’s

The organizers of a fundraising campaign that raised more than $35,000 to study the proposed Ajax mine’s environmental applications said it would have been unfair to their supporters to spend their cash on the City of Kamloops’ review of the copper and gold project. The city had asked the Coalition of Concerned Community Groups — an umbrella group for anti-Ajax organizations including Kamloops Area Preservation Association and Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy

decision to use KGHM cash to fund its review. “Our groups would have preferred that the city’s review process be perceived as fully objective and wholly independent,” Friedman said. “By having the proponent fund the review of its own application, the city makes it more difficult for Kamloopsians — many of whom are undecided or not fully informed on the process — to have faith in the review. But, Friedman added, the groups will participate in the city’s planned town hall meeting on the mine, and in other public consultations, and plan to coordinate with any other groups studying the application.

“The more eyes that are on the application, the more complete the examination will be,” she said. The coalition is still in the process of finding and contacting experts, but won’t make final hiring decisions until KGHM submits its application to the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office, which it is expected to do this month. Friedman said the groups are still deciding whether they will spend some of the cash to set up a storefront to offer information on the proposed mine to the public. In both cases, she said, the groups won’t make final decisions until they’ve seen KGHM’s application.

Bring Your Thing the theme on TRU opening day Thompson Rivers University is set to welcome new students — as well as those returning — with its annual orientation. This year, the Tuesday, Sept. 8, event’s theme is Bring Your Thing, a focus designed to celebrate the collective community on a campus that includes students from dozens of countries and with various interests and talents.

It’s expected 1,300 new students will gather that day at 9 a.m. at the Tournament Capital Centre Fieldhouse for a formal welcome and introduction to university president Alan Shaver and the deans of each faculty and school. Academic open houses will follow for students to meet first-year faculty members — and others taking their courses — before

classes start the next day. Orientation includes a free barbecue lunch, handouts and prizes, grass volleyball, spikeball and music. Campus tours will be held at 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. There is also a back-to-school barbecue with a resource fair on services, clubs, athletics, recreation and other campus opportunities on Friday, Sept. 11.

South Kam vaults to top of district priority list DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Westmount elementary has been dropped from the top spot on the KamloopsThompson school district’s capital-projects wish list. In its place is South Kamloops secondary. In a 5-2 vote at Monday night’s board of education meeting, the aging secondary school became the district’s priority proj-

ect after discussion of a report on renovations needed at the Ninth Avenue campus. Trustees also approved more than $400,000 in renovations and adding two portables — doubling the number there — although at least two trustees said they were not happy spending money on a building that within the next 10 years will need more money to deal with structural issues that

South Kamloops secondary will receive more than $400,000 in upgrades — but the building will soon need to be replaced.

will arise. Vice-chair Megan Wade and trustee Joe Small each urged the other trustees to keep the two schools as the

top priorities. Last October, Westmount was named the top priority with the need for a new school (estimated

at $9.5 million) and South Kamloops in second place (about $45 million). Work needed at South Kamloops includes improving wi-fi, renovating a classroom to become a computer lab, adding preparation space

for teachers who don’t have a specific classroom, upgrading lighting in lower-level hallways and adding a new billboard to the front of the school. Facilities director Art McDonald told the board because of the age of South Kam – it was built in 1951 – trustees can expect major structural issues in the next 10 years, items that will take large chunks of money from the board’s capi-

tal-works fund. Trustees agreed to continue lobbying the provincial government for money to replace the school. KamloopsThompson Supt. Karl deBruijn said the district has shown “good stewardship” maintaining the school, something that may have worked against it since other schools built in the same time period have been replaced.

SD73 news in brief: Network and stipends • School District 73 will join the new Provincial Learning Network’s next-generation upgrade next year. Secretary-treasurer Kelvin Stretch said the move should see improved Internet bandwidth and connectivity, something that is essential “because so much of what we do involves technology.” The network is a partnership of school districts, the ministry of education, Telus and IBM, which are the primary service providers. • Stretch told trustees this week their annual stipends will increase. The board has a policy tying stipends to increases in compensation to SD73 employee groups. Based on the policy, each trustee will receive a 1.62 per cent increase. That brings the boar chair amount to $21,110 from $20,772. Board vice-chair rate rises to $20,059 from $19,738 and trustees see their stipend increase to $19,008 from $18,704.

Liberal,” much like MLAs Terry Lake and Todd Stone. Marchand is a fan of party leader Justin Trudeau, who he remembers from his days in the cabinet of Trudeau’s dad, Pierre. Marchand’s children, Lori and Len Jr., would play with Justin, Alexandre (better known as Sasha) and Michel — the Trudeau boys. “He’s the guy,” Marchand said of this generation’s Trudeau politician. “Young people today, they’re not getting involved [in politics]. That’s sad. They have to get excited and I think Justin is the guy to help that. I think he’ll get us back to, hopefully, Trudeaumania days.” And, while Marchand says his politicking days are behind him, the spark is still there. Asked if he’s involved in Powrie’s campaign, Marchand laughs and

says he’s not, that he leaves any local involvement to Donna, his wife, who sits with him sporting a Justin Trudeau button. “But,” he says, “I may make a few phone calls.” Riis, who worked alongside former NDP leaders Ed Broadbent, Audrey McLaughlin and Alexa McDonough — and was frequently touted as leadership material himself — calls Mulcair “extremely bright, extremely capable and motivated by the right values. “He genuinely sees a positive purpose for government in people’s lives. He has a vision quite different than the other two,” Riis said. “I’m excited. All these things we fought for for years seem a possibility. Canada could be in a different place.” Local NDP candidate Bill Sundhu was an articling student fresh out of university when, as

a local volunteer in the 1984 federal campaign, he first met Riis. “He’s a remarkable and unique politician,” said Sundhu, who keeps in contact with Riis, calling him a mentor. “He’s one of the most successful in bridging the divide. He had Conservatives, Liberals and independents vote for him. He could communicate with people on a personal level.” Riis is similarly impressed with Sundhu, who accompanied him on the door-knocking campaign 30 years ago. “He wants to do politics differently,” Riis said. “From what I gather, the local Conservative [Cathy McLeod] has kept a low profile.” Harkening back to his own reputation, Riis recommended voters elect “a representative of Kamloops in Ottawa, rather than Ottawa’s representative in Kamloops.”

Today, some polls place NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair narrowly in the lead, with a strong chance of becoming Canada’s next prime minister. Riis said that prospect between 1980 and 2000, when he represented the riding, “was a distant thought. “It was unthinkable, to be practical,” Riis acknowledged in a telephone interview from Ottawa, where he now lives.

BIG

OF THE MONTH!

Rahul Chhabra

When did you join the In-School Teen Mentoring Program? I joined last year when I was in grade 10 at Merritt Secondary School. How and why did you become involved with Big Brothers Big Sisters? I heard about this program from friends and other Big Buddies in the In-School Mentoring Program. They told me it is a great program to be involved in. What did you enjoy about the In-School Teen Mentoring Program? I enjoyed having fun with my Little Buddy and the program was a great experience. We played board games, baked, played sports and went to the library and read books and magazines. We even created our own handshake that we did at the beginning and end of our meetings.

NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair targeted Prime Minister Stephen Harper repeatedly in his speech to party supporters at a Tuesday night rally in Kamloops.

NDP faithful energized at rally CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Hundreds of New Democrats jammed into a small ballroom in Kamloops Tuesday night to hear NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair deliver familiar messages and attack the man he is trying to replace as prime minister. While crowd estimates at the Kamloops Coast Hotel & Conference Centre varied from about 500 on the low side to Mulcair’s statement to the crowd that 1,000 people showed up, they were eager to hear his message that the party is positioned to take government and the Kamloops-

Thompson-Cariboo riding. “What energy,” Mulcair declared. “With energy, determination and a turnout like this, it’s going to go very well.” Mulcair began his pledges by promising to bring back door-todoor mail delivery and ended it with an attack on Bill C-51, the anti-terror bill. Prime Minister Stephen Harper was the focus of Mulcair’s criticism, from his handling of the economy to failure to invest in promised child care for parents. Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was mentioned only twice — for voting in favour of the NDP’s $15 per hour federal minimum wage

and for now opposing it and for voting in favour of Bill C-51 and for now criticizing it. “I think the fact people were standing outside and the enthusiasm inside — it’s got to happen,” supporter Talitha Dekker said following the rally, referencing the fact the small ballroom could not accommodate all supporters, some of whom stood and sat in the lobby, listening to Mulcair on speakers. Local New Democrat candidate Bill Sundhu, who introduced Mulcair, told KTW Mulcair’s visit shows the party is serious about retaking a riding it has not held for 15 years.

What impact did the program have on you? When I met with my Little Buddy he was always happy and enthusiastic. He cheered me up and made my day. I also had the opportunity to meet new people through the program and learned a lot from my Little Buddy. What impact do you think the program had on your Little Buddy? I have noticed my Little Buddy being polite to his peers and he became much more outgoing. Who would you recommend this program to? I would recommend this program to people who enjoy spending time with kids and having fun.

Mulcair: Kids’ sports expensive From A1

“I’m going to continue with things that work,” Mulcair said. “If that one is proven to be effective in getting kids able to take part in sports — of course we’ll keep it.” Mulcair, who coached his children’s hockey team, acknowledged the cost of the sport. Enrolment in Hockey Canada is flatlining or in decline. “There’s no question that, for a lot of families, it is too expensive,” he said. “Yet it’s Canada’s national sport. It’s not just hockey that’s expensive. Try equipping your kids for any number of other sports.” Following the announcement and questions from national and local reporters, Mulcair and local NDP candidate Bill Sundhu took part in a street hockey game with kids in the parking lot. Mulcair also spoke on topics that included Quebec, the Syrian refugee crisis and the party’s

chances in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo, which it held for 20 years, between 1980 and 2000, under Nelson Riis. While Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau stated this month he would abandon a promise of balanced budgets for the first several years of his mandate, Mulcair said his party can live within its means even as the country feels the effect of a mild recession brought on by declining oil prices. The announcement in Kamloops follows a series of pledges that have little impact nearly $300-billion federal budget. “We think it’s time we moved away from the practice of past governments of downloading a massive environmental, social and economic debt on the backs of future generations,” Mulcair said. The NDP has also pledged to bring in $15-a-day child care and to reverse the Conseravatives’ decision to prolong OAS retirement age to 67 from 65, in part by raising corporate taxes.

KAMLOOPS’ COP A KARAOKE KING

here is a YouTube video created in Kamloops that is, as they say, going viral. The video was shot in the Central Pub downtown (a great place to grab a pint and a burger) during one of the watering hole’s immensely popular weekend karaoke night

sessions. The video is a jumpy few minutes showing Kamloops RCMP Const. Kevin Roy wowing the youthful crowd by performing a solid rendition of Five For Fighting’s Superman (It’s Not Easy). The video can be seen online at kamloopsthisweek.com and via our Facebook page. Roy nailed the song — all while playing to the crowd dressed in his full RCMP uniform. We assume Roy was with fellow officers doing routine checks of the downtown and its establishments when he decided to grab the mic and show revellers that police officers are as human as the next person. We applaud such policing efforts. The more officers can do to engage with citizens, to smile, to share a laugh and to just be human, the less we will need to read news stories about allegations of abuse. While we understand why a video of a uniformed Mountie singing karaoke in a pub would become popular, the fact it has become an Internet sensation is precisely because we do not think of cops this way. Far too often, police are regarded with fear and distrust. The world needs more officers like Roy, men and women in blue who can do their job with professionalism — and who know how to connect with the public on any given occasion. Online comments laud Roy’s efforts to truly embrace community policing. Here’s hoping the more military minds under whom Roy serves can also see the brilliance in his policing prowess and do not have a knee-jerk reaction that silences our Superman Mountie.

Back to school for parents

his is the first time in 29 years that back to school means nothing more to me than writing some features for the paper. Sure, hubby is again returning to the classroom, but that isn’t the same as getting the kids prepped and ready to face the reality summer — for them – is over. I’m relishing this reality. The journey through the education system has been an interesting ride. When my daughter started kindergarten, she was bused four miles to school because there was no school in the area of the city I lived that had space for all the kids in our neighbourhood. Two years later, she was still riding that bus and her younger brother was joining her. By the time Child No. 3 started school, a new structure had been built at the end of our street, one that included a separate pod of seven kindergarten classes with a day-care centre attached. The two-storey structure was soon home to more than 700 students and a staff of more than 80 teachers, educational assistants and counsellors. Child No. 4 also started kindergarten there, one of more than 100 in the pod back in 1998 — so you can imagine how stunned hubby and I were to move to Kamloops and walk up the street to register him at Stuart Wood elementary. Its entire student body in 1999 was about the same as that pod of four- and

Street

LEVEL five-year-olds back home. The great thing about that large school in Ontario is the principal there knew every kid’s name — every one of them. Two years ago, when he retired from the district, having eventually become superintendent, I emailed him to thank him for all the years he devoted to teaching children. He replied by asking how my kids are doing — and using each of their names. He was just that kind of educator, one of those gifted individuals who saw what they did to be what it is — one of the most important jobs in the world. A year ago, parents were divided; some were angry teachers weren’t going back to the classroom and were continuing their strike against the provincial government. Others were supportive. There’s labour peace now and teachers are already getting their classrooms ready — not just for the influx of students, but for parents as well.

When my daughter started high school, she came home after the first day absolutely furious with me. “You already went in and met my teachers?” she demanded. “Really? Really mom?” She wasn’t happy with me, but it didn’t matter. Part of being a parent is to sometimes do those things your kids aren’t going to like and, even though she was a teenager then and believed the high school threshold should never be crossed by her mother, she was wrong. I needed to meet her teachers and they needed to talk with me to know my husband and I were engaged in our kids’ education, that we wanted to stay informed. We carried that belief through the education of each of the five of them, even when the youngest attended Thompson Rivers University. The visible participation eventually decreased as there was no need to pop in when an email would suffice. So, this is just a reminder to some of the parents out there that back to school doesn’t mean your job is done. Teaching our children is a team job and you need to know what the others in the group are doing. You need to communicate. You need to be involved. Support your parent-advisory committee. Go to interview days. If you’re concerned about some aspect of your child’s learning, talk to the teachers. Don’t be a stranger because, really, it’s all about our kids. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

HIGH PUMP PRICES PRODUCT OF GREED A BEEF WITH MENU Editor: This past weekend, I had the opportunity to visit the new Cascades Casino in Kamloops to try one of its restaurants. As a Kamloopsarea beef producer, I was astounded to see Cascades was marketing USDA-graded beef imported from Washington state. Here we are, located in an historic ranching area, and this new restaurant sources its beef from outside of Canada. In many parts of the world, Canadian beef is highly sought after — and yet a restaurant in Kamloops serves American beef. This is an insult to those who work so hard in the Canadian beef industry to produce the best beef in the world. Hugh Fallis Kamloops

Editor: Re: The Aug. 11 article on high gas prices (‘Gas prices stubbornly high despite oil’s dive’): Those quoted in the article offered a weak and false explanation and justification. The retail price/source of gas is entirely Canadian in Western Canada. The large American producers produce Canadian crude and own the refineries that supply Canadian gas stations. The large oil companies are jacking up their cost to service stations to

make up for the money lost in crudeoil sales. British Columbia is supplied gas from a large refinery in the Lower Mainland and two large refineries in Edmonton. These companies supply all gas retailers and any price raises they have has to be passed on by the retailer as they only have the access to these monopoly oil-refining companies. The article stating the Kinder Morgan pipeline from Edmonton carries gasoline is false. The pipeline carries only crude oil

that is refined in the Lower Mainland. The article’s convoluted explanation of the intricate gas price interplay along the U.S. West Coast and B.C. is a myth. The two countries have distinct refining industries and do not sell gasoline across the border Our high gas prices are simply the result of a greedy monopoly oil industry attempting and succeeding in making up lost profit from crude by robbing Canadian motorists John Hart Kamloops

NORTH SHORE ROADS NEED SOME LOVE Editor: Re: (‘Roundabout in the works for Fifth Avenue and Nicola Street,’ Aug. 27): I read the article about three times and had to find a map of Kamloops so I could try to make sense of the information. I think a map incorporated in the article would have been appropriate. So, as I understand it, if I come out of the new parkade at Royal Inland Hospital, I will turn right (east) on Columbia Street and travel to Fifth Avenue, where I will turn left (south), drive to the roundabout at Nicola and Fifth and go around 360 degrees, travel north back to Columbia and turn right (west) so I can go up to Sahali, etc. Is that correct? I live in Brocklehurst and don’t travel along Nicola Street very often

“

Ord Road seems to me a better road for oil tankers to use as there is a much larger population base along Tranquille than there is along Ord.

”

and certainly didn’t know there was a mini-roundabout at 12th Street and Nicola for a mere $140,000 to allow cyclists to have a stop-free ride. I ride my bike on the North Shore and use the Rivers Trail often, but there are a few blocks on Tranquille Road, east of Southill Street, where other cyclists and I could use a bike lane so the oil tankers and other traffic whizzing by don’t cause fear of an accident. Could KTW do an article on the increase of traffic along the

KAMLOOPS

Tranqulle corridor due to the tankers going to the Suncorps terminal, as well as increased airport traffic, increased drivers living in Brock with the construction of new developments and the infilling of houses being built in old orchards and on half of the large Brock properties? Then there are the gardeners taking refuse to Cinnamon Ridge and there is a promise of housing being built at Tranquille on the Lake. Ord Road seems to me a better road for oil tankers to use as there is a much larger population base along Tranquille than there is along Ord. Fewer people would be at risk along Ord in the event of an accident involving tankers. Thank-you for your time. Pat Parker Kamloops

LOCAL NEWS Sad ending to search for woman

Search and rescue workers have found the body of a woman reported missing by Kamloops Mounties. Lyla Brace — known to friends as Jeannie — was last seen at her home on Sunday. The 47-year-old was

reported missing by her family. On Monday night, the vehicle Brace was driving was found in the Juniper Ridge area and search and rescue crews focused their efforts in that area of east Kamloops.

The search took place overnight and continued on Tuesday morning. RCMP Const. Jason Epp said the file has been turned over to the B.C. Coroners Service. Foul play is not suspected.

An insecure load led to an accident on Highway 5N this week — prompting Kamloops Mounties to issue a warning to drivers transporting goods. Tk’emlups Rural RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird said emergency personnel were called to the single-vehicle crash just northwest of East Shuswap road at about 10 a.m. on Tuesday. The driver of an SUV was travelling northbound when a large green plastic garbage container blew into her path. The driver, not knowing what the object was, swerved to avoid the container and lost control of her vehicle. Her GMC Envoy left the highway and slammed into a 10-foot dirt embankment. Several passersby performed first-aid on the driver until paramedics and firefighters arrived. The driver, who was the lone occupant in the SUV, was taken to Royal Inland Hospital suffering from extensive facial injuries. “There is no doubt that someone’s insecure load — the garbage container — landing on a very busy highway led to this collision,” Aird said.

WHEELING AND MEALING FOOD TRUCK OWNERS TAKE ON NEW VENTURES

JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

ocal food truck owners are thinking outside the box. The owners of Cat and Joe’s Pig Rig are cooking up smoked meats in a bigger venue these days while the owner of Holy Crepe recently opened a local produce stand. Cat Obertowich and Joe Thompson, owners of Cat and Joe’s Pig Rig, brought the Burning Barrel Cookhouse and Roof Top Lounge to life about a month ago after entering a partnership with the Ramada Kamloops Hotel on Columbia Street. “Joe and I outgrew the food truck,” Obertowich told KTW. They didn’t sign up for the city’s on-street food program this year, which was supposed to run June through October and allow for up to two trucks to park next to Gaglardi Square for $15 during the day, but excluding dinner hours. When KTW spoke to the city’s program planner in May, no food trucks had signed up. Bellringer Espresso Bus’ owner David Burgess said he opted out due to the operating hours. Obertowich said, however, moving into a restaurant was part of a five-year-plan — which also includes manufacturing Thompson’s barbecue sauces — they had since opening their barbecue eatery on wheels in 2013. “The food truck was a stepping stone for us,” Obertowich said.

TURTLE VALLEY DONKEY REFUGE

‘I ALWAYS STRUGGLED TO GET TO THE FARMERS’ MARKET’

Proceeds going towards the purchase of the Donkey's Winter Hay. A Fun Day in the Wonderful World of Donkeys.

From A11

The Ramada Kamloops Hotel was looking to remodel the former City View Grill restaurant and Obertowich has since become restaurant manager, with Thompson taking over the kitchen. Some former City View Grill staff members stuck around, with additional employees hired. Meanwhile, Obertowich and Thompson have beefed up the Pig Rig menu for the Burning Barrel, adding ribs, chicken and brisket to their lineup of pork dishes now that they have more space. “Our little smoker only held so much pork,” she said. She said the restaurant has been busy since signage changed a couple of weeks ago and they’re working through kinks that come with moving from a truck into a restaurant — like explaining to customers that their smoked meat is made in set quantities and, if it’s a busy night,

it might sell out. As for the rig? “The food truck is just parked right now,” Obertowich said. She’s not sure about the long-term future of that part of their business, but expects to get a couple of more trips out of it and use it for catering. “We’re going to keep the truck,” she said. Meanwhile, a recent Kickstarter campaign has shown Holy Crepe owner Morgan Smith Kamloopsians are willing to put their money where their mouths are. In 2011, Smith started the specialty crepe and coffee trailer, which is situated across from the Halston Husky gas station off Highway 5 North. On Aug. 9, she launched an online campaign aimed at raising $1,500 to help open a local produce stand next door called the Lofty Local Market. The idea behind the outdoor market is to provide a place for small-scale urban farmers to sell goods on an ongoing basis.

“I always struggled to get to the farmers’ market,” Smith told KTW. “It’s an inconvenient time for me.” The online campaign was successful, raising $1,710 from 32 backers, and is open for business. It is selling produce to start and, if successful, eggs, cheese and meat next year. “It was kind of a test year for next year,” Smith said. “I think we’ll be back next year with a much bigger, better market.” The stand also provides ingredients for Holy Crepe, which operates from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Mondays to Saturdays and from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays through October 31.

Tip Top shape in Aberdeen Mall

Tip Top Tailors — known for selling affordable menswear, including suits and tuxedo rentals — has taken over the 3,000-square-foot store that formerly housed Smart Set. The womenswear

store closed on Jan. 31 and the space has been vacant since. While it wasn’t a complete gut job, renovations to the space, which have been in the works for a couple of months, included paint and updated change rooms. Seasonal tenants for the Christmas season are expected to move into the mall in October and November, including Calendar Club and Lazy One sleepwear.

Not so sweet for the wallet

Those who have a hankering for specialty candy, which can be found at two Sticky’s Candy locations in Kamloops, will notice prices have risen. The stores, which import sweets from places like the United States and England, have increased prices in response to the lacklustre loonie. Do you have a business-related news story?

Water Conservation Tips from the 2015 ECOSmart Team

With the level 4 drought rating in our community, the City of Kamloops will be reducing water use by 30% in our parks. We encourage all residents to decrease their water usage as well. Level 4 means conditions are extremely dry and that water supply is insufficient to meet socio-economic and ecosystem needs. Water levels in streams, rivers and lakes are at record lows and are having a negative impact on fish and ecosystems. Water conservation is everyone’s responsibility. Here are a few tips to increase your water conservation efforts: • Reduce how long you irrigate your lawn by 30% - For example, if you normally water for 60 minutes, only water for 40 minutes • Irrigate during the coolest part of the day to prevent evaporation - early morning hours are best • Leave your grass 2-3 inches tall • Leave grass clippings on your lawn to retain moisture • Don’t use your toilet as a garbage can • Take showers in 5 minutes or less

Question marks on back end KTW is looking ahead to the 20152016 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign by addressing five areas of the team in a series that started on Aug. 27 and will run each Thursday until Sept. 24, a day before the season opener. In today’s instalment, we break down the blue line. Next Thursday, we take a look at the goaltending situation. Each story in the series will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com.

ostling for roster spots on the Kamloops Blazers’ blue line will continue throughout the pre-season schedule. Should sizeable, veteran defencemen Marc McNulty and Ryan Rehill return for their overage seasons, they will occupy top-four spots, likely alongside 19-year-old Czech Republic import Patrik Maier and 17-year-old Dawson Davidson. That would leave three or four slots up for grabs, with 18-year-olds Travis Verveda and Cam Reagan, 17-year-old Czech import Ondrej Vala and 16-yearolds Nolan Kneen and Conner McDonald among the rearguard candidates. “There’s going to be a real battle going on back there,” Blazers’ general manager Craig Bonner said. Verveda and Reagan were usurped last season by a player one year their junior in Davidson, a Christmas call-up who gained favour with management and staff before earning a full-time job. Bonner was blunt in his assessment of the twosome that spent much of the season watching games as healthy scratches. “As harsh as this sounds, there’s a simple theory I have — play better,” Bonner said in March, days after Kamloops fell short of the post-season

for the second straight year. “Dawson Davidson came in and took their ice time. The harsh reality in hockey is when you get your chance, you’ve got to take it.” It appears both aspiring blue liners took the words to heart. “I think it’s been real positive so far,” Bonner said yesterday, with main camp having wrapped up on Tuesday night. “They’ve both gotten stronger and quicker. “The work our coaches did when they weren’t playing much looks like it’s paid off. They’ve both worked hard.” Verveda took a serious tone in an

interview with KTW after the main-camp finale Blue vs. White intrasquad game on Tuesday at the Sandman Centre, making his intentions clear for this season. “I really want to get in the lineup every game and be in the top six,” said Verveda, the Alix, Alta., product who stands six feet tall and weighs 171 pounds. “Last year, sitting in the stands really got to me. You want to be out there playing with the boys. That really motivated me. “There were points where you think, “Am I ever going to be out there again?’” Reagan, the 6-foot-1, 200-pound D-man from Sherwood Park, said his time in the press box throughout the 2014-

2015 campaign was a catalyst in his offseason training. “I want it really bad,” Reagan said. “I want to be a regular guy. I want to help this team win and be counted on by the coaches. I want to be a top guy.” There is a degree of uncertainty with any European import and the Blazers are waiting to see how Vala handles himself over the next month in pre-season play. Bonner seemed optimistic when asked about the 6-foot-4, 216-pound blue liner who played last season with under-20 HC Pardubice, registering nine goals and 11 points in 29 games. See DECISIONS, A20

Thompson Blazers remain nomads ADAM WILLIAMS

For years, Thompson Blazers management has dreamed of having a single rink to call home for the B.C. Major Midget League regular season. That dream won’t be realized in time for the 2015-2016 campaign. BC Hockey released the schedule and, as has been the case in years past, the Blazers will be hosting games in a number of arenas in and around the Tournament Capital. “Obviously, being our first year [running the team], we were hoping to get all of our games out of Sandman Centre, but it is what it is,” head coach Don Schulz said. “They gave us the dates and Sandman Centre wasn’t available.” The Blazers have been trying to establish a home rink for years.

GUESS WHO’S IN THE HOSPITAL?!? WWW.KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM/KFL-RIH

In recent seasons, former head coach Mark Chase pushed for the club to be housed in Memorial Arena. Schulz said the Blazers are now aiming for the Sandman Centre — the club has put in an application to establish a permanent dressing room in the space now reserved for visiting Western Hockey League teams. That room will be vacated following the 2016 IIHF Women’s World Hockey Championship, for which another large dressing room is being constructed at Sandman Centre. Breaking down its 20 home games, Kamloops will play 11 times at Sandman Centre and seven times on McArthur Island — three times on the Olympic-sized sheet and four times on the NHL-sized rink. The club will also play one game at Memorial Arena and one game in Chase at Art Holding Memorial Arena. “It’s not really that big of a deal,” Schulz said of playing in multiple arenas. The desire to have a rink is more of a preference. Most BCMML teams play out of the same facility throughout the regular season.

“Up until his point, they’ve played minor hockey and they’ve had to do that all through their minor hockey league career, so it’s more of a continuation of what they’ve already experienced,” Schulz said. Thompson will open the season on Sept. 19 at the Sandman Centre against the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds. The club will then head out on the road for the first of two showcase weekends — Sept. 26 and Sept. 27 at the Richmond Oval. The second showcase will be held on Jan. 23 and Jan. 24, again in Richmond. The Blazers will host two homestands of six games apiece — the longest of the season. The first will span from Oct. 3 to Oct. 25, while the second will close out the regular season, beginning on Feb. 13 and wrapping up on Oct. 28. The club’s mettle will be tested when it embarks on its longest road trip of the season, which spans 12 games — more than one-quarter of its 40-game slate. Thompson opens the trip on Nov. 14 with a pair of games in Richmond against the Greater Vancouver Canadians.

The club will also make stops in Kelowna to face the Okanagan Rockets, in Abbotsford to play the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds, in Prince George to take on the Cariboo Cougars and in Port Coquitlam to tackle at the Vancouver NE Chiefs. The trip concludes in Nelson on Dec. 20, when Kamloops will play its final two games before Christmas against the Kootenay Ice. The 220-game BCMML season wraps up on Feb. 27 and Feb. 28. The Blazers will be home to the defending league champions, the Chiefs, to close out regular-season play. Playoff competition for the Cromie Memorial Cup is slated to begin on March 4, with the championship series scheduled to start on March 18. The Pacific Regional Championship, in which the winner of the BCMML takes on the winner of the Alberta Midget Hockey League, will run from April 1 to April 3. The winner of the best-of-three series will represent the Pacific at the Telus Cup, the national midget championship, which will be held in New Brunswick form April 23 to April 30.

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING 6:30 PM Tuesday September 8, 2015

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Through wind and rain, smoke and hail, Yvonne Timewell had a smile on her face. At the end of the Challenge Penticton Ironman, it did her well. Ten hours, 56 minutes and 27 seconds after starting the race, Timewell crossed the finish line with her first victory in the triathlon distance. “It was a crazy day,” Timewell told KTW. In six attempts, it was her fifth ironman completion and first victory. “The weather didn’t get me down, but I think it’s all about attitude. At one point, I just stopped looking at my watch, knowing that I wouldn’t get a best time or anything.” For more local results, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Timewell and her fellow competitors went through the gamut of what Mother Nature had to offer. A calm and sunny day gave way to headwinds and rainstorms, forest-fire smoke and hail. “I just sort of had to laugh to myself because, you know, what’s next?” she said, recalling when she began to be pelted by hail. The Kamloops racer has plenty to be positive about — she has had quite the year. Last summer, she set a world record, as well as multiple course records, in the 514.5-kilometre Ultraman Canada triathlon

Sun Peaks Mountain Resort Municipality Council gives notice that it will hold a Public Hearing in Council Chambers at 106-3270 Village Way, Sun Peaks, BC, to consider proposed Bylaws 0044, 0045, and 0046. What is Zoning Amendment Bylaw No. 0044, 2015? It is a change to Zoning Bylaw No. 1400 to rezone lands at 4102 Sundance Drive (legally described as Lot 16, District Lot 6360, KDYD, Plan KAP58754), as shown shaded in bold outline on the map below, from RS-1: Residential Single Family One to RS-1A: Residential Single Family One – Tourist Accommodation Zone to permit tourist accommodation (nightly/short-term rental).

Yvonne Timewell (wearing No. 94) and her supporters cross the finish line together at the 2015 Challenge Penticton Ironman. Timewell finished fifth overall and atop the women’s category.

with a time of 25:24:32. Though the ironman distance is shorter than that of the ultraman — an ironman includes a 3.8-kilometre swim, 180km bike and a 42.2km run — Timewell said it is no less arduous a task, in part because all three events are on the same day. The last five kilometres were especially tough, though by then she knew she already had the race in the bag. Her time of 10:56:27 was more than 30 minutes ahead of her closest female competitor and good for fifth overall. A total of 151 racers completed the event. “I didn’t see that coming — it was neat,” Timewell said of winning the race.

“I think I’m still in shock that it happened.” At 46 years old, she shows no signs of slowing down. She believes her attitude, along with a well-balanced life and a good training group, has helped her to reach new heights in the sport. She doesn’t go into events expecting to win but, when it happens, it’s all the sweeter — good weather or not. “Racing in these conditions, a lot of people weren’t happy,” Timewell said. “But, like I said here, I’ve already been through tornado-like winds and hail and rain. “We get dished out with some hail and I had a smile on my face.”

Kehler was steadier throughout the game, stopping 17 of the 18 shots that came his way, while Ferguson was less consistent. Ferguson, from Lantzville, allowed three goals on 15 shots in the middle stanza, but showed his mettle in the third period when he bounced back to steer aside each of the 18 shots directed on net. He also made a few saves of the spectacular variety, although he was beaten in a three-onthree overtime session by Blazers’ 17-year-old

prospect Garrett Pilon, who had a strong game and is fighting to crack the team this season. The 561 fans in attendance were treated to a shootout after OT. Of the 10 shooters, only Erik Miller, the 16-year-old forward

signed by the Blazers earlier this week, was able to score. He was able to sneak one past Ferguson. Kamloops cut its roster — available at kamloopsthisweek.com — down to 29 from 42 after the game.

The Blazers enter the pre-season with 15 forwards, 11 defencemen and three goaltenders. Kamloops is hosting Prince George tomorrow. Game time is 7 p.m. at the Sandman Centre.

Decisions to make on Kamloops blue line From A17

“I don’t want to get too high on him early, but he’s an interesting guy,” the eighth-year GM said of Vala, who the Blazers snagged 11th overall in this year’s CHL Import Draft. “The thing I’ve noticed most is he moves real good for a big guy.” The 2014 WHL Bantam Draft was dedicated in large part to the future of the blue line on Mark Recchi Way, with Kneen becoming the highest pick in team history, third overall, and McDonald, his defence partner at North Shore Winter Club, going to the Blazers in Round 2, 24th overall. Kneen played

five games with the Blazers last season and 32 games with the Okanagan Rockets in the B.C. Major Midget League. “He had an average year last year for a number of reasons,” said Bonner, noting the North Vancouver product has been OK throughout camp. McDonald had a strong rookie camp before he was sidelined with an upper-body injury. Bonner said the injury is not serious and he should begin skating again next week. McNulty is recovering from a hairline fracture in his foot and might return in time to see action in the Blazers’ pre-season

tilt against Kelowna in Kamloops on Sept. 11. There are four 20-year-olds on the roster — Rehill, McNulty and forwards Matt Needham and Luke Harrison — competing for three spots. How that situation shakes down will affect the Blazers’ blue line, should Bonner opt to keep two overage forwards. And, the overage decision might be impacted by how well the younger defencemen account for themselves over the next month. The next chance to impress for the back end comes tomorrow, when the Prince George Cougars are in town. Game time is 7

p.m. at the Sandman Centre. “As a 16-year-old, it’s tough, but the way I’ve been playing is helping,” Kneen said. “I think me and C-Mack [McDonald] both have a good chance to make the team.”

Pro camps

Both Rehill and McNulty attended summer camps with the NHL teams that drafted them, Rehill with the New Jersey Devils and McNulty with the Detroit Red Wings. Rehill will be at New Jersey’s training camp later this month, while McNulty will remain in Kamloops. Neither Rehill nor McNulty have signed professional contracts.

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING NOTICE

JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

SURREY — Lavelle Hawkins couldn’t believe his luck. The veteran receiver with the B.C. Lions was going through the paces on the very first day of his first CFL training camp this spring when he suffered a broken arm during a drill, putting the latest chapter of his football career on hold before it had a chance to get off the ground. “I had my mojo back,’’ the native of Stockton, Calif., recalled Tuesday. “The first day, I was like, ‘Are you serious?’’’ The Lions placed Hawkins, who played for the Tennessee Titans from 2008 to 2012 prior to bouncing between four NFL teams over the next two seasons, on the six-game injured list. The 29-year-old with a distinctive scar on his left forearm from the break was moved to the one-game injured list last month and will finally make his B.C. debut today when the Lions (3-5) visit the Montreal Alouettes (4-5). Game time is 4:30 p.m. “I’m excited to get out there with the fellas, just to get out there and get involved,’’ said Hawkins, who caught 71 passes for 771 yards and one touchdown during his five years with the Titans. “These guys have been working their butts off. I’m just happy to be able to come out and help.’’

Alex Hoffman-Ellis (left) and Josh Johnson of the B.C. Lions will get another shot at Brandon Rutley and the Montreal Alouettes today in Quebec, this time with the help of receiving threat Lavelle Hawkins, who is returning from injury.

A Lions’ offence that has struggled for much of the season — it ranks second last in yards per game and third last in passing yards — needs all the help it can get. Running back Andrew Harris has been one of the lone bright spots, but opponents have keyed on him during two straight losses, including a 23-13 home defeat to Montreal on Aug. 20. The Lions are coming off a bye week and have made a couple of moves to try to spark their attack and stretch defences, including the release of tight end A.C. Leonard, the promotion of

wide receiver Bryan Burnham to the first team and activating Hawkins. “It marks a little bit of a change of philosophy for us,’’ said quarterback Travis Lulay. “We want to be more productive on offence and add a couple elements that haven’t been on the roster for us that we think have a chance to make a positive difference.’’ Lions head coach Jeff Tedford, who worked with Hawkins during their time in the NCAA with the California Golden Bears and again last season when both were with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in training camp, is excited to

see him back in game action. “Lavelle’s a pro. He’s been around football a long time,’’ said Tedford. “He has a lot of ability, speed, agility [and] quickness.’’ Hawkins stayed with the Lions during most of his injury rehabilitation and said it will take more than just him to right what has been an upand-down first eight games for B.C. “I’m just a football player. That’s it,’’ he said. “It’s just about clicking. It doesn’t matter what kind of athletes you’ve got. If it’s not clicking it’s going to be tough.’’

Chan returns to form LORI EWING

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Kamloops product and Boston Celtics forward Kelly Olynyk is in Mexico City playing basketball for Canada, which is 1-1 at the tournament.

Olynyk donning Maple Leaf THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Kelly Olynyk of Kamloops and Team Canada are in Mexico City competing at the FIBA Americas basketball championship. Canada (1-1), which fell 94-87 to Argentina on Tuesday, bounced back yesterday against Cuba, winning 101-59. Olynyk had six points, three rebounds and one assist in 16:13 of floor time. He was 2-for-6 from the floor and 2-2 on the line. “[We have to] keep doing what we’ve been doing the past two weeks;

playing together, playing as one, moving the ball,” Olynyk said. “When we do that kind of stuff, the ball goes in the basket.’’ Canada is playing Venezuela today. The Canadians came into the qualifying tournament with high expectations, loaded with NBA talent and coming off a win at the exhibition Tuto Marchand Cup in Puerto Rico. Olynyk is entering his third NBA season with the Boston Celtics. He is a graduate of South Kamloops secondary.

MISSISSAUGA — Patrick Chan was back with Canada’s figure skating team for the first time in more than a year yesterday. The 24-year-old from Toronto looks like he never left. He’s lost weight, and is back doing the quadruple jumps that helped him win three world titles. But, only a few weeks ago, there were days when Chan wondered if he had made a massive mistake returning to competition. He wasn’t confident he still had what it takes. “There was a sense of worry, like ‘Oh my god, am I ever going to be able to do it again? Maybe I’m too old for this, or maybe my body can’t do it anymore,’’’ Chan said. Chan stepped away from competitive ice after his silver

PATRICK CHAN

medal at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. He skated professionally, performing in more than 40 shows around the world last season. Then, feeling he had unfinished business, he resumed training in earnest in June for this coming competitive season. There were some rough days in the beginning. His coach Kathy Johnson took a few phone calls from Chan looking for reassurance. “I said to him, ‘There’s a reason you decided to come back,’’’ Johnson said. “I said ‘If I really felt that you were not able to come back and do this at your best, I would tell you.’

“His level of fitness and the fact that he skated all year and his commitment to it, his big jumps are still there, his quality of movement is still there, his skating skills are amazing.’’ Skating his short program to Michael Buble’s version of the toe-tapping tune Mack the Knife yesterday, Chan looked like he was back at his competitive best. He has lost about eight pounds, and is about three pounds lighter than what he weighed in Sochi. “I wanted to be 150, which was back to my weight in 2011, when I won my first world championships,’’ Chan said. “I noticed that my quads and my jumps at that time were much lighter, and my margin for error, in my air position and stuff, was much larger. “I’ve noticed the weight makes a huge difference in the quality

of the jumps, in the lift, and how light and how much flow I have out of my jumps.’’ Chan faces Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu — who defeated the Canadian for gold in Sochi — right off the bat, at Skate Canada International next month in Lethbridge. Nam Nguyen, the 17-year-old who won last season’s Canadian title in Chan’s absence, said he’s happy to have the veteran skater back. “I look up to him as my idol, and his skating is so great, and I always watch him and learn from him,’’ said Nguyen, the 2014 world junior champion. On the women’s side, two-time Canadian champion Kaetlyn Osmond is back after missing all of last season with a broken leg. Osmond will also compete at Skate Canada, Oct. 29 to Nov. 1.

 Obituaries & In Memoriam  Celebration of Life BOB FURSETH

Bob Furseth had a great life and the time has come to celebrate it. On Saturday, September 5th, some of his friends and family will gather to spread some ashes, share some stories, and make plans to enjoy each day that comes. In the morning, we will be at Stake Lake ski trails at 10am to scatter his ashes at one of his favourite places. From 1pm to 4pm, we will be at 1217 Pine Street to tell and hear stories of a life well lived. In keeping with Dad’s style, the day will be informal and never in danger of being over-planned. Dress for the weather, bring your memories and any favourite photos. Dad had a great time during his 87 years on this planet, starting as a mischievous boy, the youngest of eight kids, on a farm near Waldeck, SK. He soon became “Uncle Robert” and enjoyed entertaining his nieces and nephews. He started a long career with the CPR in freight sheds in Vancouver before moving to Kamloops, playing the kazoo in the early years of the Kamloops Rube Band, getting married and starting his own family. He was actively involved in hosting the first running marathon in Kamloops, and spent most of his 30 plus retired years with the Overlander Ski Club. He was skiing less than two weeks before his sudden trip to the hospital on April 29th, and he and Mum had gone on a road trip to Wells Gray Park the weekend before. As his skiing and running friends will remember, Dad never rushed anything, and his slow and comfortable path to May 15th gave his family time to accept. If Dad had one regret, I think it would be that he missed a chance to ski with his friends on April 28th, 2015.

LYDIA SCHWARZ 1914 -2015

Just one week before her 101st birthday, our beloved mother, Lydia Schwarz, passed away peacefully on August 28, 2015, with family by her side. Lydia was born on September 4, 1914 in Stanley Municipality, Manitoba, and has lived in Kamloops since 1951. She was predeceased by her husband Rudy, son Ben, grandchildren Carey Schwarz and Lori Campese, sister Hilda Kohle, and brother-in-law Tony Burg. She will be sadly missed by her loving children, sons Arnold (Violet), Elmer (Sharon), Emil (Julie), Henry (Sharon), Francis (Marina), Walter (Tammy), daughters Loretta (George) Lewis, Darlene (Bob) Venne and Diana (Larry) Danchuk, all her grandchildren, great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchild. Also left to cherish her memory are sister Olga Burg of Spalding, SK, brother Leonard (Violet) Rosentreter of Vernon, BC, brother-in-law Eric Kohle of Humboldt, SK, and numerous nieces and nephews. Lydia was a wonderful mother, grandmother, great grandmother and, just this year, became a great-great-grandmother. She enjoyed cooking, gardening, needlework and travelling, but her greatest love was being with her family. In later years, when she lost much of her sight to macular degeneration, she moved to The Hamlets at Westsyde and spent countless hours listening to audio books. We are very grateful to the CNIB for providing this service as it gave her many years of enjoyment. The family extends heartfelt thanks to the nurses and caregivers at The Hamlets for their care of Lydia over the past eight years. By Lydia`s request, a private family service will be held. Mom, you will live in our hearts forever. Arrangements entrusted to First Memorial Funeral Services, Kamloops, BC (250) 554-2429 Condolences may be left at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com

She was always there for her friends and family, and will forever be loved and missed by the many hearts and souls she touched.

Each Loss ... Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

FLOYD ROSSER HALCROW Floyd Rosser Halcrow passed away peacefully on August 28, 2015 with his loving wife of 64 years, Verlie Anne by his side at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House. His is also survived by his six sons, John, Mike, Paul, Ron, David (Debbie) Stephen (Terena) and many grandchildren, as well as his brother Gordon (Lorna Mae) and numerous nieces and nephews. He is pre-deceased by his parents and nine siblings. Floyd was born August 11, 1931 in Prince Albert, SK to John and Mae Halcrow. The family moved to various locations in Saskatchewan before moving to Powell River, BC. He met the love of his life, Verlie, in Surrey, BC. They married November 10, 1951 and started their family right away. During this time Floyd was employed at Domtar for 20 years. In December of 1969 Floyd and Verlie packed up their family and moved to Valemount. They had a vision for ministry outreach which was achieved by Bible camps and various retreats which eventually led to the establishment of a church later named Full Gospel Lighthouse. Upon arriving in Valemount Floyd took a job with School District #57 driving school bus. Eventually he was hired by the Department of Highways and worked there for 16 years. He retired in 1987. Floyd and Verlie eventually found themselves in Kamloops in 1991. Because Floyd liked to be active he took up driving school bus once again for the Kamloops Christian School, as well as delivery driver for Fritz’s Bakery. One of Floyd’s pleasures was a house full of family and friends, enjoying a meal around the table. To coin a phrase, “Mother, look at all that beautiful food!” Floyd had a big heart and a stranger was never turned away. His big smile, twinkle in his eye, quick humour and gentle way will be missed by all. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday September 4th at 2:00 pm at Kamloops Free Methodist, 975 Windbreak St. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the New Life Mission, if you so wish.

On August 27, 2015 A legend, A Star, A man of unconditional love played his last encore. The world lost our Smiling, Happy, Loveable, Huggable… David Richmond. David loved his job at SaveOn-Foods; the management, staff and the wonderful customers. He greeted everyone with a big smile, twinkling eyes, honesty and respect. Davids positive approach to life impacted many people. He lived a life of high personal morals towards all living things. A man of short physical stature that could walk into a dark stadium and light it up brighter than the sun. His laugh, more contagious then breathing. Once he started, you could bet yourself a six pack of abs, all while drinking a six pack with him. Yet David would be up at the crack of dawn walking his dogs. He loved his animals as though they were his children. Providing them a quality of life fit for a king. David always made people feel comfortable, welcomed and loved. His impact on the world and others will always be expressed through those that met and knew him. David leaves behind friends and family he loved with all his heart and soul. A Celebration of life will be held on Friday, September 4th at 11:00 am officiated by Pastor Don Harrison in the Oak Room at the Cottonwood Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Avenue. In lieu of flowers, donations to the SPCA can be made in David’s name.

LABOUR DAY

Hitting the road on summer’s last long weekend The last long weekend before students head back to school is almost here. Labour Day weekend is one of the busiest times of the year for British Columbia highways. Sadly, an average of four people are killed on the roads on Labour Day weekend every year, with severalhundred people injured. ICBC typically sees 2,000

crashes on Labour Day weekends. The Better Business Bureau has plenty of safety tips to keep in mind if you’re heading out for one final summer getaway. “We at the BBB do our best all year to protect the wallets of British Columbians and promote trust in the marketplace,” said Evan Kelly, senior com-

munications advisor for the BBB serving Mainland BC. “We also like to do our part when it comes to keeping them safe on the road, too.” The BBB provides the following safety tips for travelling: • Create a car safety kit. Basics for the kit include: blanket, flashlight with extra batteries, radio, first-aid kit,

TRU works because we do…

Happy Labour Day WHERE BC’S PROFESSIONALS COME WHEN THEY NEED A UNION

Professionals in BC are struggling with some serious issues: excessive overtime, limited job security, lack of a pension, less say in the workplace and stagnant wages. A union that knows professionals can help. Visit us at pea.org/join to find out more

jumper cables, non-perishable foods like granola bars and nuts, bottled water, family medicine and emergency telephone numbers. • Take the car in for a checkup. If your car is due for a checkup, take it in before making that long haul. At the very least, check the car’s fluid levels, wipers and tire pressure and tread. • Know the weather. Check local websites for travelling information to allow extra time for bad weather. • Check your gadgets. Charge your cellphone and make sure your GPS is running properly. • Get some rest. Tired drivers are a hazard to themselves, those in their vehicle and often fatal or devastating mistakes can be made to other drivers on the road.

On the road

• Buckle up. Make sure everyone is properly buckled up and that young children are in age appropriate safety seats and are properly secured.

When behind the wheel, pull over if you have to do anything that would take your full concentration off of driving.

Get the most from your gas

• Remember the rules of the road. Don’t tailgate and remember the three-second rule when following vehicles. Don’t rely just on mirrors when changing lanes; turn around to check your blind spot. Obey all traffic signals. • Watch your speed. Law enforcement will be out to ensure everyone is obeying all speed limits and laws. • Don’t drink and drive. • Don’t text and drive.

• Monitor your speed. Stay within posted speed limits as gas mileage decreases at speeds above 100 km/h. • Don’t frequently start and stop. Improve your mileage up to five per cent by avoiding quick starts and stops. • Avoid unnecessary idling. Turn off the engine if you anticipate a wait. • Make the most of highway time. Use overdrive gears or cruise control when appropriate to improve highway fuel economy. • Don’t carry extra weight. Remove items from your trunk. An extra 45 kilograms (100 pounds) can reduce fuel economy by as much as two per cent. Remove items on top of your car as wind resistance reduces fuel economy by five per cent.

First Nation seeks UN help in fight over financial transparency laws THE CANADIAN PRESS

ONION LAKE, Sask. — A First Nation challenging a federal law that requires Indian bands to make their finances public says it is seeking help from the United Nations. The Onion Lake Cree Nation’s case against the transparency legislation was heard in Saskatoon Federal Court last month and a decision is pending. The band contends the law violates treaty rights and that Ottawa has wrongfully cut non-essential funding to First Nations that have not complied. Chief Okimaw Wallace Fox said he has written a letter to the UN Committee

AWARD WINNING COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination in Geneva. The chief is appealing to the committee to express concern about the legislation and what he calls the heavy-handed approach the government has taken against indigenous peoples. UN officials were not immediately available for comment. Last month, lawyers for the federal government were in court in Saskatoon to force five First Nations, including Onion Lake, to open their books to the public. The other reserves in the case are the Sawridge and Athabasca Chipewyan First Nations in Alberta and the Thunderchild and Ochapowace

bands in Saskatchewan. The federal government has said the legislation makes financial information more accessible to band members and leads to more “effective, transparent and accountable governance, as well as stronger, more selfsufficient and prosperous communities.’’ Independent experts on the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination monitor implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination by governments. The Onion Lake reserve straddles the AlbertaSaskatchewan boundary north of Lloydminister.

TWITTER OUTRAGE AS FAST-FOOD GIANT DECLINES TO SELL MCMUFFINS AROUND THE CLOCK IN CANADA THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — McDonald’s Canada has bad news for those looking to get their Egg McMuffin fix past 11 a.m. Spokeswoman Lisa Hutniak said the company has no plans to offer an all-day breakfast despite the brand’s announcement that its American restaurants will introduce the option Oct. 6. Hutniak said the company is keeping a close eye on the nationwide experiment by the Americans and are always looking to meet the needs and wants of their customers. Twitter users were quick to decry the disparity. “Y’all are monsters,’’ tweeted @MsLolaOh. A user from Scarborough, @60mg_Maija, summarized their reaction in two words: “Thug tears.’’ Some even made it an election issue, calling on the leaders of all three parties to address the disparity. William Norman shared the story on Twitter, adding a simple message: “Harper gotta speak on this.’’ One Liberal supporter tweeted that NDP Leader Tom Mulcair would promise to force McDonald’s to introduce breakfast at all hours in a order to get elected. And Deanne Kondrat tweeted to Liberal Leader

Justin Trudeau directly, asking him to bring the allday breakfast to Canada. “Be the PM this country deserves,’’ she wrote. McDonald’s ran a pilot all-day breakfast program in select American markets earlier this year. New CEO Steve Easterbrook is looking to make his mark at the American fast-food giant, where sales have faltered as consumers seek out quick service food beyond the burger. The Oak Brook, Ill.,-based company has been looking for a boost as sales at established U.S. stores have fallen for seven straight quarters and the company hasn’t replaced its Dollar Menu with anything equally compelling. McDonald’s is also working to improve its appeal by toasting buns longer and searing burgers to improve taste, and it’s looking for a way to shake up its image. Taco Bell, a unit of Yum Brands, launched a breakfast menu in 2014 and has said the “biscuit taco’’’ and other items have lifted its sales. Earlier this year, Taco Bell ran an advertising campaign that depicts McDonald’s and its Egg McMuffins as boring. Meanwhile, McDonald’s has lost some ground to restaurants like Chipotle, which tout better food and ingredients, and to newer burger chains like Five Guys Burgers and Fries.

Vernon teens face murder charge VERNON – Two teenagers from the north Okanagan are facing second-degree murder charges a week after a man’s body was found in a park. Forty-two-year-old Jason Hardy was found dead near a lawn-bowling facility in Vernon’s Polson Park on Aug. 26. Mounties say the 14- and 18-year-old males who live in the Greater Vernon area were arrested on Monday. They say the offence appears to have been targeted and the public is not at risk. Police say the two accused were expected to appear in a local court on yesterday and officers are looking for anyone who has unreported information. The RCMP has said previously that Hardy was known to police. — The Canadian Press
