Canadian Pacific Railway wants to see the city close its rail crossings downtown at Second and Third avenues — and it’s asking Transport Canada to back up its request. Company spokesman Jeremy Berry said CP is concerned about “the actions of pedestrians and motorists” at both crossings, including trespassing. Berry said while there have been safety concerns about the crossings for years, the issue of “continual trespassing” on the rail line came to a head in the last year as new businesses opened near the crossings. “CP has met with the city on multiple occasions to discuss our concerns and made operational changes to mitigate these concerns, to no avail,” Berry told KTW in an email. “We have provided information to Transport Canada and they are investigating our concerns.” Mayor Peter Milobar said the city has no plans to close either crossing and has offered other options to solve some of the problems, including additional fencing along the rail line. “I think everyone would agree the city, CP and Transport Canada want the safest crossings possible; however, there’s other options, too, such as maybe CP could no longer park their trains east of Second Avenue,” he said. “There’s a whole lot of options out there. CP, the only thing they’re bringing to the table is they want them closed and we don’t agree with it.” Milobar said it’s not the first time CP has urged the city to close the crossings. “It even goes back to when we were looking at downtown parkade locations. “They were willing to consider letting us have the corner of Third and Lorne Street if we agreed to close Second and Third avenue, and that deal was off the table,” he said. Last year, CP Rail’s Mike Lovecchio urged the city to look at overpasses or underpasses for the two crossings and suggested the rail company would help Kamloops secure federal and provincial funding.

Dog walkers in Guerin Creek in Kamloops discovered a lifeless CJ Fowler beneath a 56-pound concrete block, her cheekbone and jaw broken and airway crushed. Prosecutor Alexandra Janse told a jury Monday morning the Crown will attempt to prove that her boyfriend Damien Taylor, on trial for seconddegree murder, killed the 16-year-old girl in the early morning of December 5, 2012 — hours after an emergency room physician told them she was pregnant. Tests showed Taylor was the father of the baby. The Crown will call 21 witnesses in the first week of what is expected to be a three-week trial CJ Fowler with Damien in B.C. Supreme Court in Taylor. Taylor is accused of murdering the 16-year-old Kamloops. Among them are the girl in December 2012. dog walkers who stumbled across Fowler’s body and a forensic pathologist who will testify to her injuries, including that she died of asphyxiation. Also expected to testify are Fowler’s stepfather, who bought a pair of bus tickets for the two from Kamloops to Terrace, the emergency room doctor who treated Fowler for symptoms of crystal meth use and a nurse who saw Taylor and Fowler arguing as they walked out of Royal lnland Hospital. Hours after that argument, Janse told the jury, Fowler’s body was discovered. Taylor headed north on a bus to Terrace that morning. See SOCKS, A4

Mayor: PAC budget will be followed ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
DAVE EAGLES/KTW If voters approve the project in a Nov. 7 referendum, the $91-million performing-arts centre will rise on the former Kamloops Daily News property at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue.
If the cost of the city’s new performing-arts centre balloons well past $91 million, it won’t be built, Mayor Peter Milobar told a crowd of about 30 at a Kamloops Voters Society-run community discussion on the weekend. The city is asking residents to vote on whether to borrow up to $49 million to build the centre, which includes a 350-stall underground parkade, a 1,200-seat theatre and a 350-seat black box. The referendum is set for Nov. 7. The remainder of the cost will come from gaming and federal gas-tax funds the city receives annually, a pair of one per cent tax hikes in 2016 and 2017, revenue from parking meters downtown and grants. The city also hopes to secure $10 million in grants and namingrights deals, while philanthropists Ron and Rae Fawcett have pledged to donate $5 million if the referendum passes. Answering one of the few critics to turn up to the discussion session at Thompson Rivers University, Milobar said if the city cannot secure a contract to build the centre for its projected cost,
the project will not proceed. “If we don’t have enough money, we don’t have to give out the contract,” he said. Resident Frank Dwyer, one of only three people at the discussion to bring up concerns about the arts centre, said he’s worried the cost of the building could escalate well beyond the projected $90 million. He pointed to a study from the University of Chicago that showed many arts centres built in the U.S. between 1994 and 2008 saw their budgets increase by 60 per cent or more by the time they were constructed, due to long planning times and poor cost projections. Should voters give the arts centre their nod of approval, Milobar said he doesn’t think the city will have difficulty getting various arts groups in the community to sign off on a design, noting 17 sports groups signed off on the Tournament Capital plan in 2003 without delaying the project. Milobar said there are also components of the arts-centre plan that can be cut if the city needs to lower the cost, including a $2-million storage space for the Kamloops Art Gallery. Dwyer said he’s also concerned those in favour of the project aren’t properly selling it to residents of
Kamloops who aren’t intimately connected to the arts scene and who may see the centre as a multi-million dollar gift to people friendly with city hall. “For a lot of ordinary people, they see this as fixed,” he said. “Of course it’s going downtown, where all the power and connections are.” Others at the meeting expressed frustration with what they said is misinformation being spread about the state of arts venues in Kamloops. “When people say the facilities aren’t used, I cringe,” said Jennifer Jones, an instructor with Western Canada Theatre’s (WCT) Stage One theatre school. Jones said WCT classes have to book rooms at TRU, the Kamloops Yacht Club and other spaces because the city’s theatres are full. “Sometimes we go on a field trip so they can see the Sagebrush or the Pavilion,” she said. Event promoter Ray Nyuli said while not every show at the two theatres is sold at full capacity, it doesn’t mean the theatre isn’t being well-used. “Some shows are going to be sold out and some are going to have seats empty,” he said. “That’s just the nature of the business.”

It was in a bank lineup in Williams Lake that Bill Sundhu recalls his father pointing to a worker wearing a crisp white shirt and tie. “‘He’s done his Grade 12,’ the millworker told the elder of his two children. “‘I have to go outside in the sun and winter. If you get your Grade 12, you can work inside, too.’” As a pioneering immigrant family from India in Williams Lake in the early 1950s — his father was one of about 150 immigrants his year of entry to Canada — Sundhu’s parents preached the path to success in their new country: hard work, education and frugality. Forty-five years later, the son of immigrants is seeking a job inside the House of Commons as a representative of the NDP. Along the way, Sundhu became
one of a trio of men of Sikh backgrounds (along with Wally Oppal, who would later become an appeal court justice and later attorney general of B.C.) to be appointed as a judges, a first in Canada. Sundhu recently added to his accomplishments with a master’s degree in human-rights law from Oxford University. It’s a long way from his roots in Williams Lake, where he grew up in a town with few people of South Asian decent. His father, Rattan Sundhu, moved to Canada in 1950, working in the Fraser Valley and ending up at a Williams Lake sawmill in 1957. Sundhu acknowledged there was racism in the small Cariboo town, but it never dissuaded his family’s belief in the opportunities Canada offered — a belief that would be tested when the central Cariboo’s first permanent immigrant from India suffered a wintertime fall on an icy stairwell that changed the family forever.
Rattan ended his emergency journey at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops, where neurologist Dr. Gur Singh told Sundhu’s mother: “I don’t know if I can save him.” Rattan did survive, but with a traumatic brain injury that reduced his function to that of a young child. The accident changed the family’s world, with Sundhu’s mother, Gurdev, forced to become the income earner by working as a cleaner and dishwasher at night. Bill was 10; his sister was four. “I’d warm up the food my mother prepared, kick up the fire, take care of dad and do homework,” Sundhu said of his after-school routine. Following graduation, Sundhu worked at West Fraser sawmill during summers to put himself through university and law school at UBC. He articled in Kamloops in the early 1980s — in the midst of a brutal recession. See FROM LAWYER, A4

Sundhu could not find work in Kamloops so he moved back to Williams Lake, where he hung his shingle. After just 10 years as a defence lawyer, Sundhu was appointed as a provincial court judge at 37 years of age — something he acknowledges he thought he would do for the rest of his working days. “I’d like to have seen him stay on the court,” said Oppal, who oversaw administration of justice in B.C. when Sundhu got drunk and belligerent in a Vancouver hotel bar in early 2006. “It was unacceptable and clearly wrong,” said Oppal, who now practises law in Vancouver. “[But] we’ve had judges in past who made mistakes and were allowed to remain.” Sundhu characterized himself as an episodic alcoholic — an infrequent drinker who really couldn’t handle alcohol. Following that public incident came nearly a year-long process during which charges weren’t laid for six months, then stayed while Sundhu went through the alternative-measures program. A special investigation by the chief judge was next. By then, however, Sundhu said he was worn down by uncertainty and done with his old life as a judge.
He would never drink again. With no plans other than to return to defence work (former judges weren’t allowed to work in the provincial court for two years), Sundhu went back to school and did ICBC and defence work in B.C. Supreme Court. He was appointed to the list of council for the International Criminal Court (ICC) and, through the International Bar Association, Human Rights Institute, helped train Tunisian judges following the Tunisian revolution of 2011. While a passionate believer in social democratic values and this country, Sundhu had no ambitions for public office — until, he said, he was approached to run by both the Liberals and NDP. That kindled an interest for Sundhu, whose said his former position gave him little power to change social conditions. Oppal said he’s not taking sides in the federal election and knows and respects incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod. But, calling Sundhu a friend, Oppal has little doubt in his abilities. “I think it doesn’t matter what he does, he’d be good at it,” Oppal said. “I don’t know what they’ve got, but it’s difficult to see if the NDP got in, they could overlook his qualifications.”

UNIVERSITY DROPS WORD AFTER PROFESSOR CLAIMED BRANDSTRATEGY LANGUAGE LINKED SCHOOL TO PROPOSED AJAX MINE DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Saying it has heard the message from faculty, Thompson Rivers University is doing away with the branding message “unearth your potential.” The phrase sparked an online petition by Michael Mehta, a professor of geography and environmental sciences, who said the word “unearth” could be seen as linking the institution to the mining industry — and, in particular, to KGHM’s proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of the city. In an email to faculty yesterday, Lucile Gnanasihamany, the university’s vice-president for marketing and communications, said the verb “has sparked a strong reaction among community members, many of whom have expressed their concerns. “To those who have spoken out, I have a simple message: We hear you and we will change the word.” Mehta said he was alerted through Twitter to the language being used. Gnanasihamany said the intent of the language is what administration
B
believes sets TRU apart from other post-secondary institutions. “It asserts that everyone — no matter what their aspirations, abilities, circumstances or background — not only has the ability to realize their potential, but the right to do so. “And that TRU will stand beside them at every step of this journey.” Documentation on the branding process — one initiated when TRU decided last year to replace the tagline, “Now, that’s university” — included the sentence, “We believe that everyone has the right to unearth their potential.” Mehta and others who signed his online petition claim it is language that demonstrates TRU is not neutral on Ajax and that “corporate and government lobbying and largesse have the potential to significantly influence the academic mission and future of the institution.” Gnanasihamany said the language had been designed to reflect the university’s indigenization of its courses and was created to honour the connections it has to the aboriginal community. She noted First Nations have a
strong spiritual connection to the earth and it was from that focus the language evolved. Gnanasihamany said she is disappointed Mehta ignored the word “right,” which she said is the real key in the sentence because it reflects the university’s belief everyone has the right to reach their potential. Mehta, however, said he believes there is an expectation at senior administrative levels on campus that the university needs to move in the direction of trades courses dealing with mining, pipelines and liquid natural gas and that government money will help fuel that move. He said had TRU used “pipeline to your dreams,” the message would have been clear it is trying to appeal to pro-pipeline funders. Gnanasihamany said the new branding campaign — which will not be using the phrase “unearth your potential” and which has cost the university about $115,000 from creative consultation to marketing materials — will be released internally on Nov. 25. A public release is planned for early in 2016.

He fed the cats, prepared a meal, shaved, showered and even took meat out of the freezer to thaw. The problem? Christopher Hiscock was not in his house. The 33-year-old Nova Scotia man pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court on Monday to possession of stolen property and being unlawfully in a dwelling house stemming from a bizarre incident in the North Thompson last week. Court heard the residents of a ranch in Little Fort on the Yellowhead Highway returned home after a night away on Sept. 20 to find a stranger, later identified as Hiscock, sitting on their couch with a cup of coffee. “She found the accused in her home watching TV,” Crown prosecutor Mike Wong said. “He had started a fire in the fireplace and prepared himself a meal. He said he had been driving by and the door was open, so he came in. “The accused appears to have done some laundry. He also fed the
cats and put out some hay for the horses,” Wong said. He used [the residents’] toothbrush and shaver, he had taken some meat out of the freezer to thaw and he had written in their diary.” The residents flagged down a passing police car and Hiscock was taken into custody. Hiscock’s journey to B.C. started in his home province of Nova Scotia earlier this month. Court heard he drove his car to Sault Ste.
[web-extra]
Read Hiscock’s diary entry at kamloopsthisweek.com Marie, Ont., where he stole a truck and headed west. The stolen Ontario truck, which went missing on Sept. 16, was found on the Little Fort property. Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate said Hiscock had been working seasonally for a swimming pool company but, sensing he would be laid off, decided to travel west in search of work. “He quickly found that his funds were less than adequate and
that led him to using the vehicle from Sault Ste. Marie to get out here,” Tate said. “By the time he got to B.C., you can imagine, he was without any funds at all and he saw an unoccupied home.” Hiscock, who has no prior criminal record, apologized in court. “I made a lot of mistakes,” he said. “There’s really no excuses for it.” He was also still beaming about his brief stay at the ranch. “Beautiful ranch,” he said. “Gorgeous. I was driving and I just turned in. Beautiful place.” Kamloops provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley placed Hiscock on a one-year probation term with orders barring him from contacting the residents of the Little Fort ranch and the owner of the Ontario truck. Hiscock will also have to surrender a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. Cleaveley asked Hiscock what his plans are once he is released from jail. “I have really nowhere to go,” Hiscock said. “The woods is a good place, I suppose. There’s a lot of fish out there.”

International flavour this year in Kamloops schools DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
School District 73 has more international students this year than it has had in the past. The numbers have been increasing in recent years, said superintendent Karl deBruijn. At one time, the district saw about 80 students. This year, 131 are in classrooms. Thirty come from China, 27 from Brazil, 25 from Germany, 19 from Japan and 10 from Colombia. The rest represent Australia, France, Mexico, Korea, Russia, Spain and Taiwan. Most attend Sa-Hali, NorKam and Westsyde secondary schools with others at Beattie School of the Arts, South Kamloops and Valleyview secondaries and Sun Peaks elementary. Students who come to the KamloopsThompson school district are integrated into programs for at least one semester of five months. Many opt for several years of education, with the goal of graduating. They need to meet all the requirements expected of Canadian students. DeBruijn said their presence provides many benefits, from experiencing other cultures to helping continue some courses at the secondary level. He said the students are placed in schools
that have existing space and, in the case of the secondary level — which sees students dropping out each year — they can fill those empty seats and help keep numbers up to continue offering courses. Students pay $11,000 per year to attend, plus a homestay monthly fee. DeBruijn said SD73 insists students must live with a family. Some districts provide rental accommodation, but the Kamloops-Thompson board wants its international students to experience Canadian families and be assured they have a comforting support network. Most of the money the program generates go back into its operation. DeBruijn said the district collects between $100,000 and $150,000 each year that goes into general revenue, but the rest provides the teaching. Schools with international students also get some money from the tuitions collected to help provide intercultural activities. “The thing some people don’t seem to get is that their children might also grow up and work in another country,” deBruijn said. “These children might decide, when they’re older, they want to come back to Canada. “They get the real benefit from introducing our culture to the international world and learning from it.”

Fake gun, real arrest in Aberdeen Kamloops RCMP arrested a man carrying a replica assault rifle on Friday morning after multiple calls from bystanders who believed it was real. Const. Jason Epp said police were called at about 8 a.m. to a report of a man at the Aberdeen McDonald’s restaurant on Hugh Allan Drive
with what appeared to be an assault rifle sticking out of his backpack. He was described as “acting nervous.” Police who responded believed the suspect was carrying a rifle. Epp said when the suspect saw police, he fled on a bicycle, but was
arrested a short distance away. Epp said RCMP seized a replica of a Hechler & Koch MP5 assault rifle, as well as a small amount of drugs The suspect was arrested on unrelated warrants and faces new charges stemming from the incident.
Admitted killer now has lawyer A Kamloops man who pleaded guilty to murdering his former girlfriend is now represented by a lawyer. Christopher Butler, 42, has pleaded guilty to beating and strangling Deanne Wheeler, claiming in court he was fighting with a demon. Butler has consistently claimed his own guilt and refused legal assistance.
Yesterday, he told B.C. Supreme Court he will be represented by Kamloops lawyer Jay Michi. In August, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ordered a psychiatric report to determine whether Butler had the mental capacity to form intent to kill or whether he may be declared not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder. Butler is expected to return to court next week.

SIGNS OF THE POLITICAL TIMES
“
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign. Blockin’ out the scenery, breakin’ my mind Do this, don’t do that, can’t you read the sign?” Les Emmerson never gets around to mentioning election signs in the lyrics of the Five Man Electrical Band’s biggest hit. That was probably just an oversight — or maybe there just wasn’t an election going on in 1971 when he was penning the lyrics. But, no matter why he omitted election signs, he would probably include them if he could see the state of the scenery covered up by the thousands of election signs lining the sides of the roads and parks in modern elections. Campaign signs have been around forever, but they’ve gotten cheaper to produce over the years and moved from supporters placing them in their front yards to anywhere and everywhere candidates can manage to put them. But, as the amount of campaign signs grows election by election, we hear more from disgruntled citizens upset with the proliferation. The jury is out on whether these signs have any chance of swaying a voter from one candidate to another, though putting up a sign in your yard does give you the feeling of doing something real, while not actually volunteering to help out your candidate’s campaign. Perhaps instead of campaign sign placement being a free-for-all, specific spaces could be set aside in the city for candidates to post their signs. If the spots are high profile enough, candidates would get the same amount of name recognition — the only guaranteed benefit of signs — while reducing the visual pollution. As a side effect, such a policy would reduce the amount of wasted material — plastics, metal, cardboard, etc. — that goes into the manufacture of elections signs. After all, election signs don’t vote. — Penticton Western News

Inner children take over
W
e’re seeing the effects of our post-literate, feelings-based education system and media on the federal election. Candidate bozo eruptions are becoming more frequent. Most recently, a Liberal candidate on Vancouver Island admitted she has long believed that hijacked jetliners could not have destroyed the World Trade Centre on Sept. 11, 2001, that it was all “a lie.” That was “my truth,” she said, in the lingo of the feelings-first, inner-child crowd. Now she has “moved on” to a slightly different fact-free conclusion — that we’ll just never know how those 3,000 people were murdered. And she wants to go to Ottawa and help run this country. Feelings-based beliefs were on display again at last week’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Vancouver, where bozo eruptions by local politicians come in bunches. This year’s main outbreak was an emotional demand that the B.C. government enact a provincial bill of rights. This magic municipal Magna Carta “recognizes the right of every resident to live in a healthy environment, including the right to clean air, clean water and vibrant ecosystems.” Alert taxpayers may wonder: How many lawyers would it take to define “vibrant”? More on that in a moment. Local councils across B.C. and around the country have been pitched this scheme by the
TOM FLETCHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA David Suzuki Foundation, which calls it the Blue Dot campaign. In short, it’s part of the bigger plan to save the planet by crushing capitalism, currently being pushed by the Pope, the UN and others. Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps was one of the most passionate backers. She quoted the plea presented to her council by an 11-year-old recruited by the Blue Dot team. There are many such children, terrified by indoctrination about the imminent destruction of Earth and all its cuddly creatures that has bombarded them since they learned to speak. They are found in the wealthiest countries in human history, those enjoying health, comfort and opportunity not imagined by anyone 100 years ago. In the vast, air-conditioned hall of the Vancouver Convention Centre, there were several attempts at adult supervision. Coquitlam Coun. Terry O’Neill noted that, unlike intrinsic rights articulated in Canada’s charter — freedom of assembly and so forth — this is an attempt
to invent new rights that are actually demands for “others to do something for you.” Indeed, if we’re going to have government by 11-year-olds, we might as well throw in a right to free ice cream. Chilliwack Mayor Sharon Gaetz went off on a rant about how this new “vision” would protect us from things like Volkswagen fiddling its diesel fuel-emission results. The resolution calls for “access to justice when environmental rights are infringed,” which sounds like code for some sort of costly new legal-aid program to pursue every individual grievance. Meanwhile, in the real world, class-action lawsuits are being prepared to gain compensation for lost resale value of millions of cars. This is what happens in fortunate places like Canada that already have access to justice. O’Neill read off a long list of existing B.C. legislation that protects water, air, wildlife, food, public health and so on. Helps replied that this bill of rights would “consolidate” all of that. One more layer of bureaucracy, that’s the Victoria spirit. Williams Lake Mayor Walt Cobb pleaded with rural delegates to reject this “David Suzuki propaganda” that is designed to put more roadblocks in the way of the very resource industries that provide our modern comforts. Alas, the resolution passed in a show of hands that should have been, but wasn’t, put to a counted vote. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NIQAB SYMBOL OF LIMITS TO TOLERANCE Editor: Once again, Canada’s media is out of step with its audience. Just because the intellectual elite and national commentators call the niqab issue a distraction — or a side show or bigotry or a wedge to disunite Canadians — does not mean it has the moral high ground. Who are they to tell us what is important? In spite of being repeatedly lectured to by media, 90 per cent of Canadians, including recent immigrants, believe the wearing of the niqab during ceremonies such as swearing a citizenship oath should be prohibited. It is an important issue
because it strikes at what it is to be Canadian. What the media and at least three of four national political party leaders have failed to grasp is the niqab has become a symbol — a symbol that there exists a limit to Canadian tolerance. I consider myself pretty much unbiased when it comes to race, religion and ethnic identity, however there are practices I simply cannot accept. Some of them are obvious, like honour killing, forced marriage and female circumcision. But, there are others more subtle, like failing to expose one’s face when taking oaths and other interactions with Canadian
society as a whole. There have been many accommodations by Canadian society to make new citizens more comfortable in Canada. This has been true since the 1970s and include accommodation whenever possible for articles of dress important to one’s religion, etc. We have public facilities such as swimming pools that reserve periods for female only, including spectator, participation. In spite of these accommodations, demands for the vast majority to change to satisfy the extremely small minority continue to pour in. Politicians talk about
Canadian values which is to say societal rights as opposed to those of the individual, yet no one has quantified what these values are, at least not in an explicit charter. Why is that? Why can’t we lay out a list of rights, discuss them in adult manner and arrive at a consensus of where tolerance stops? Are we lazy or are we cowards? Please pardon the cliche but the niqab issue truly is the straw which has broken this camel’s back. Don McLaughlin Kamloops
NOT CANADIAN PROBLEM THANKS FOR HELPING Editor: I, too, was appalled by the pictures of the Arab boy on the beach and I would like to extend my sympathy to the family. It is well past time we realize we cannot solve all the problems of the world. This is not a Canadian problem — never has been and never will be. It is an Arab problem created by Arabs, perpetrated by Arabs and, probably, financed by Arabs. They can solve this
problem by stopping the massacre going on. I think it is important to understand this is violence perpetrated by Arabs against their own countrymen. If Canada chose to accept say 100,000 refugees, it would certainly not solve the problem. To suggest Canada should lower its standards to accept these people is ludicrous. I believe we should not compromise our rules to accommodate. Bleeding heart
Canadians need to think clearly and place blame where it belongs — in Arabs hands. They and they only have the ability to put an end to this genocide. These bleeding heart Canadians would be well-advised to put efforts into convincing Arabs to stop the killing instead of complaining to our government about lowering our standards regarding refugees. E. A. Stratichuk Kamloops
HAND AT HOSPITAL
Editor: On Sept. 23, I was walking along Columbia Street, lugging a blue box containing an ice machine, which was for my husband, who was having surgery on his shoulder. I had to park quite far away from the hospital and, in finding the weight of the machine heavy, I stopped frequently to rest — you do what you have to do. Later, on the way back to my car, a gentleman — and I mean a gentleman — came up to me and asked if I
needed help. He said he’d watched me earlier as I was struggling with the box. He was up high amid hospital construction and said he’d felt bad he couldn’t help me. After a stressful day at the hospital, this meant a lot to me. So, Mr. Gentleman, whoever you are — thank you because you made my day. Chivalry is not dead. Wendy Dickson Kamloops

“It is kind of laughably ironic watching the so-called ‘business crowd’ and its preferred politicians and cheerleaders asking for public money (taxes) for this somewhat preposterous project. “Usually, this crowd refers to public money taxes) as anathema.

Communities in Bloom conference in Kamloops ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The judges may not have stopped in Kamloops this past summer, but Communities In Bloom (CIB) is returning as the competition’s annual symposium and awards ceremonies comes to town this week. CIB organizer Gay Pooler said up to 350 people are expected to arrive for the four-day event, which runs from tomorrow through Saturday at Sandman Centre. Visitors will hail from across Canada, as well as the U.S., Italy, Turkey and other European nations competing in CIB’s international competition. “They’ve won a competition — it might not be Communities in Bloom, but they’ve won a similar competition within their country, so then they come and compete in Communities in
Bloom internationally,” Pooler said. Kamloops has won the international prize twice, in 2006 and 2013. The symposium will include awards presentations for this year’s provincial, national and international competitions, as well as educational sessions and technical tours. “They get to see wonderful things like our sports fields, community gardens, Tranquille farms, Sun Rivers, the TIB [Tk’emlups Indian Band] and the wildlife park,” Pooler said. Members of the public are invited to take part in a Saturday morning town hall, from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m., which will feature a talk by Mark Cullen, an author, horticultural consultant for Home Hardware and host of a weekly gardening segment on CTV. The session will also be a
chance for the public to learn about this year’s competing cities, which will have displays set up on the Sandman Centre concourse — an attraction in itself, Pooler said. “We’re taking the concourse and making it pretty,” she said. “We’re turning it into a walk in the park. Pronto Landscaping is coming in and working with city people and setting up bushes and trees.” Pooler said the event will act as a showcase for Kamloops, hopefully building the city’s reputation abroad. The city is waiving the fee to use Sandman Centre, worth about $20,000, and parks, recreation and cultural-services director Byron McCorkell said a portion of the $30,000 allocated to CIB each year will also be used for the event, which he expects will generate about $320,000 in economic spinoffs.
Singh eyes top UBCM job A Kamloops city councillor will most likely be president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities in three years. Coun. Arjun Singh was elected third vice-president of the UBCM board during the annual convention of communities last week in Vancouver. Vice-presidents will typically move up the ranks each year, from third to second and first
vice-president before becoming board president. While Singh said other local government officials could challenge vice-presidents for a seat, it’s unusual because of the steep learning curve to step into any of the higher-level positions. Singh previously served as director at large on the board. “You’re working provincewide, but certainly that brings
some information and some relationships into Kamloops as well, so I think there’s sort of a complementary benefit for the community as well,” Singh said, calling his election “a big honour.” A Kamloops councillor last held the UBCM presidential post from 2002 to 2003, when Pat Wallace was acclaimed as head of the organization.

Hip catalogue and I missed it because I was mired in a 20-minute long beer lineup, which grew exponentially in length after I took my place in queue. It eventually snaked down most of the south concourse. Some poor souls must have spent more than 40 minutes waiting to snag a beverage in a line that damn near ended in Knutsford. Why so few vendors were open is beyond me. That gripe is just an aside, though. The show was epic. Downie, Langlois, guitarist Rob Baker, bassist Gord Sinclair and drummer Johnny Fay are Kingston’s finest, the class of Canada, and they tore up the Tournament Capital on Sunday.

PRE-OWNED EMILY-ANN OLSON PHOTO Thompson Rivers University theatre-arts students Morgan Benedict and Erik Stephany stage a scene from Back to Beulah. The play runs Oct. 8 to Oct. 10 and Oct. 15 to Oct. 17.
Play kicks off season at TRU
From B1
After reading many scripts, she decided on Back to Beulah by W. O. Mitchell to kick off the annual Actors Workshop Theatre on Oct. 8. The play, written in the mid1970s, is the story of a doctor who has opened a half-way house as an experiment, to see if three of her patients — each with their own mental-health issue — can live on their own for a period of time. Her plan goes awry as the three — Harriet, Betty and Agnes — rebel at the way the doctor has been treating them. When the play premiered in Calgary in 1976, Jamie Portman — critic with the Calgary Herald at the time — called it a remarkable achievement and “a major Canadian theatrical event.” Portman continued, however, to warn people the play forces the audience by the end “to explore the nature of suffering and the true essence of human commitment.” Mitchell won a Floyd S. Chalmers Canadian Play Award for the play.
The Chalmers at the time were the major national awards for plays produced by Canadian theatre companies. Nichol described it as a challenging script with moments of humour and others of tragedy as the three women rebel, taking the doctor prisoner, forcefeeding her the medication she has been giving them and hiding her as her boyfriend arrives looking for her. Nichol has left the play set in the 1970s, a time when Canadians were just starting to address negative attitudes toward mental illness and struggling with the idea of integration. To help her cast, she invited TRU psychology professor Reid Webster to talk with them about the various mental conditions the three women have, what their realities included and how the issue was being dealt with at the time Mitchell wrote the play. The play runs at the Black Box Theatre in the Old Main Building on campus from Oct. 8 to Oct. 10 and Oct. 15 to Oct. 17. Showtime is 7:30 p.m.

A couple of years ago, author/ psychologist Ken Dychtwald made a presentation at an American Society on Aging conference. Something he said resonated with a group of bridge players: “Retirement used to be considered an ending. Now, many retirees consider it a beginning.” At that 2013 conference, Dychtwald surveyed how the modern concept of retirement had changed from the traditional vision baby boomers grew up with. Dychtwald argued retirement is a time to build relationships, keep learning, live with purpose and leave a legacy. Here’s a way to achieve those goals: Join a bridge club, meet new people, learn to play (keep improving), challenge
yourself and make a become a mentor or teacher. Six games of bridge are offered weekly in Kamloops in the afternoons and evenings. Lessons are also available. For more information, email the Kamloops Duplicate Bridge Club at kamloopsduplicatebridgeclub@shaw.ca.

Kaye Kaminishi, 93, is the last living member of the original Vancouver Asahi, a Japanese-Canadian baseball club established in 1914. The present-day Asahi were in the Tournament Capital on the weekend and KTW caught up with Kaminishi.
Asahi legacy lives on ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
hey were in the middle of a game, but when the Asahi baseball team saw Kaye Kaminishi walking up to the diamond, every one of them dropped what they were doing to run and greet him. “Konnichiwa Kaminishisan,”a few said, taking their hats off and bowing. “Thank you for coming.” Kaminishi smiled and asked how the game was going. The peewee players gave a few answers and smiles before heading back onto the diamond for the bottom half of the inning. Kaminishi took the seat of
honour near the dugout. Around the team and its supporters, the 93-year-old was a celebrity. It no doubt brought him back to the days when he, too, donned the Asahi red and white. “If you wore the Asahi uniform, you were a king,” Kaminishi said as he walked across McArthur Island toward where the game was being played. He was royalty then and he’s royalty now — the last living member of the Vancouver Asahi. In the dugout were uniform numbers 22, 9 and 14. There’s no No. 11, though. That’s Kaminishi’s number. “They told me my number will be in the rafters,” he said with a laugh. The club presented him
with an Asahi hat and sweater before Saturday’s game, the No. 11 emblazoned on the back. No one else will ever again wear the number for Asahi. The Asahi first took the field in 1914, a club that was the team if you were a member of the Japanese-Canadian community. Kaminishi dreamed of one day putting on the jersey of the Asahi — Japanese for “morning sun.” At 17, he finally did, one of five rookies to suit up for the club in 1939. But, when Canada declared war on Japan in December of 1941, the dream ended as quickly as it had started. The Asahi was disbanded as its players were scattered to internment camps all
over the province. Kaminishi ended up in Lillooet. Though he would return to the bases after relocating to Kamloops in 1947 — he came to the city because he wanted to keep playing ball and there were next to no options in Lillooet — working the hot corner in the Tournament Capital wasn’t quite the same as playing in Vancouver’s Oppenheimer Park as the third baseman for Asahi. But, he smiled as he watched two Asahi clubs on McArthur Island on Saturday — a peewee club and a bantam club. Asahi baseball returned to Vancouver last year with 16 players. This year, 80 have taken the field. They’re keeping the legacy alive. See KAMINISHI, A18
Giving up seven goals to the Kelowna Rockets spelled disaster for the Kamloops Blazers in their home opener at Sandman Centre on Saturday. Kelowna (2-1) earned a 7-3 victory over Kamloops (0-2) in front of an announced crowd of 3,937. “That was definitely not good enough,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said after the game. “We made a lot of mental mistakes and it’s hard to chase the game against a good team like Kelowna.” For the complete game story, go online to kamloopsthisweek. com. Kamloops had a much stronger outing in a 4-3 loss to hometown Kelowna on Friday, but didn’t seem to have the same fight on Saturday night. “As well as we played last night, we’ve lost that excitement that we had,” Hay said.

“We deserved what we got today.” Among the concerns for the Blazers heading into a pair of games against the Victoria Royals on Vancouver Island this weekend is goaltending, which is expected to be a strong suit throughout the 20152016 WHL campaign. Connor Ingram allowed three goals on 17 shots before he was yanked early in then second period on Saturday and Dylan Ferguson gave up four goals on 23 shots in relief. “I didn’t think he was playing well enough,” Hay said of Ingram, the undisputed No. 1 netminder in Kamloops’ crease. “We need better goaltending.” The emergence of Garrett Pilon was the best thing to come out of the weekend for the Blazers, with the 17-year-old forward from Saskatoon registering three goals and five points in two games.

Kaminishi honoured by ‘grandsons’ at weekend peewee baseball game From A17
“I didn’t want it to fade away,” Kaminishi said. “But, with a start like this, the Asahi name will be around for many more years.” As he took his seat at McArthur Island to watch, the Asahi team began to play the baseball that made Kaminishi and his cohorts so good in their time. They won successive championships in the Vancouver Industrial League by depending on “brain ball,” using base stealing, bunting and the like to outwork more powerful teams. With Kaminishi front and centre, the Asahi cashed in a pair of runs on bunts. They turned plays that had the old-timer reminiscing about his days as
an undersized leadoff man, stealing bases and using squeeze plays to drive in a few runs. “You see that nice bunt? That’s what I did,” he said with pride. And it worked, too, as the Asahi peewees invoked the mercy rule after four-and-a-half innings, defeating the West Kelowna D-Backs 10-0. But, the Asahi way isn’t just about playing smart baseball. It’s no longer a team only for Japanese-Canadians, either. It’s a club that focuses on instilling dedication and discipline in its athletes. “We’re putting a discipline in our players that is quite different from the norm,” said John Wong, the Asahi head coach and one of
the program’s founding members. “We’re trying to instil the fact that he [Kaminishi] has endured a lot in his life and we want to make sure our players recognize that. They have it a lot easier than they had back in the war time. “It was important to us that he get to see us play. It’s in his honour, so it’s important to us that he recognizes that. I hope we do him proud.” The teams also hosted a dinner in Kaminishi’s honour on Saturday night. Though he isn’t much for speeches, he did have a few words of advice for the players. “I’ll tell them, somebody has to win and somebody has to lose, but the losing team
shouldn’t get discouraged,” he said. “Don’t get discouraged, get better. Don’t forget about fair play and sportsmanship.” The lessons are part of the Asahi way and they come from a man who is more or less a king. Fans asked for his autograph on jerseys Saturday and players stole brief conversations in Japanese with him — all the while making sure he had the best seat in the house to watch them play. They took photos with him after the game and shook his hand. And, while it was he who was the local celebrity, Kaminishi said each of the players is special to him. “It’s just like they’re my grandsons,” he said.

Jacob Palmarin of the Kamloops Broncos shot through this hole in the Valley Huskers’ defence on a 20-yard touchdown run on Saturday at Hillside Stadium.
MILESTONE REACHED
Running back Jacob Palmarin hit the 1,000 rushing yards mark in the Kamloops Broncos’ 58-15 victory over the Valley Huskers at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. The last B.C. Football Conference running back to reach the milestone was Greg Morris, who did it with the Westshore Rebels in 2012. Broncos’ wide receiver Devin Csincsa also broke the 1,000-yard barrier on Saturday night. Marshall Cook of the Vancouver Island Raiders eclipsed 1,000 yards
receiving last year, finishing the 2014 season with 1,084 yards and nine touchdowns. Kamloops (5-4) will cap the regular season against the Okanagan Sun (9-0) of Kelowna on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m at Hillside. The two teams will likely meet in Round 1 of the playoffs. Kamloops must beat Okanagan and Westshore (2-7) has to beat the Langley Rams (5-4) on Saturday if the Broncos are to avoid a first-round meeting with the Sun.

Pilon impresses for Blazers in weekend losses From A17
“He was our best player last night and was one of our better players tonight [Saturday],” Hay said of Pilon, son of former NHLer Rich Pilon. “He’s really stepped up and done a good job.” Pilot spent last season playing with the midget Saskatoon Contacts, racking up 30 goals and
87 points in 44 games. “For my personal self, I’m pretty happy, but I’m not satisfied,” Pilon told reporters on Saturday. “I’d rather have success as team.” Kelowna made Kamloops pay for sloppy puck-handling errors and careless play, according to Hay, and the Blazers will need to be sharper this weekend.
“That was a tough game,” a downtrodden Ferguson told KTW. “The whole team could have done better. We know we can play better than that.”
Injury list
The Blazers might get help this weekend if forward Matt Revel can return from a shoulder injury in time to
play the Royals. His status for the games will be decided in the next few days. Both defenceman Conner McDonald and forward Deven Sideroff are listed as week-to-week and neither will play this weekend. McDonald has an upperbody injury and Sideroff is recovering from a virus.

Spencer Asuchak’s time with the St. Louis Blues has come to an end. The NHL club released the Kamloops native from his pro tryout following Saturday’s game, a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks.

In July, he signed a one-year contract with the club. Earlier this month, Kamloops’ Maxwell James was also released from a pro tryout, his with the Arizona Coyotes. James, a former Kamloops Storm forward, was returned to the WHL’s Tri-City Americans, where he played 58 games last season.

The Thompson Rivers women’s basketball team bounced back from a lopsided defeat on Friday night to score a win against the Calgary Dinos on Saturday. The Pack topped the Dinos 74-73.

After recording points in three consecutive weekend games, the Kamloops Storm are first in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s Doug Birks Division. The hometown Chase Heat earned a 3-2 overtime victory over the Storm on Sunday, with Spencer Farstad scoring to end the game at Art Holding Memorial Arena. Kole Comin and Tre Sales had goals for the Storm in support of goaltender Tavin Grant, who made 30 saves in a losing effort. The Storm (5-1-0-0-1) posted a pair of weekend wins over the Sicamous Eagles, winning 3-1 on the road on Saturday and 4-2 on Friday at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre. Kamloops is hosting two games at McArthur this weekend, with Golden in town on Friday and Chase coming to the Tournament Capital on Saturday. Game time both nights is 7 p.m.
High school football season here Defensive back Mitch Dixon led the way for the Valleyview Vikings in a 12-6 victory over Howe Sound in AA senior B.C. High School Football exhibition play in Squamish on Saturday. He had one interception, one fumble recovery and four sacks. “We started slow. The first quarter was ugly, at best,” Vikes head coach Cory Bymoen said.
“As the game went on, we found a bit of a groove offensively. Defensively, our kids played tough against a scrappy opponent.” Quarterback Hunter Koopmans completed nine passes for 106 yards and one touchdown. Running back Brooks Miller scampered for 74 yards and one touchdown on seven rushing attempts. Linebackers Tyson
Harrison and Brooks Miller had eight and six tackles, respectively. Next up for Valleyview is a meeting with hometown Salmon Arm on Friday. “We need to get in better shape and need reps,” Bymoen said. “Next week, we have a tougher opponent and have to get better in our practices.”

Vegas, Quebec City make next move in bids for NHL team LARRY LAGE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Las Vegas and Quebec City are moving closer in their bids to land a NHL franchise. A Bill Foley-led group and Montrealbased communications giant Quebecor are in the third and final stage of a process to potentially bring the world’s top hockey league to Las Vegas and Quebec City, respectively. “They have been invited to make presentations to the executive committee on Tuesday,’’ NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly wrote in an email. Later in the day, the committee will report to the NHL board of governors. “Evaluation process will continue,’’ Daly wrote. “No defined timeline.’’ Quebecor spokesman Martin Tremblay and Michelle Kersch, spokeswoman for Foley’s group, confirmed their groups will make a presentation. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said earlier this month the league is “not feeling any timeline pressure,’’ in the expansion process. Bettman has proposed an expansion fee of $500 million, a significant jump from the $80 million fee paid by the Columbus Blue Jackets and Minnesota Wild, when the NHL last expanded to 30 teams in 2000. It is expected to take at least two years before the NHL would potentially have 32 teams playing. The league has examined each market and both groups’ arena plans after they were the chosen two out of 16 expansion applicants. As part of the process, both groups submitted a $10 million down payment, $2 million of which was nonrefundable. An NHL franchise in Las Vegas would be the first for any of the major sports leagues in the city.

world,’’ Subban said. Immediate Stanley Cup aspirations are hard to find elsewhere across Canada, though the Flames have real expectations on them this season after a surprise run to the playoffs ahead of schedule. “On paper today, if you look at our roster, we do look like a deeper, better team than last year, but we have to, as players, bring that now and prove it on the ice,’’ Giordano said. There may not be much to see in Vancouver and Toronto come April, even after the Canucks made the playoffs in their first season under coach Willie Desjardins. Vancouver is a team in “transition,’’ according to GM Jim Benning, while the Leafs hope they’re on the way back up — eventually— with Mike Babcock behind the bench.

the podium Monday as the Cavs held media day saddled with the same expectations placed on them a year ago. For the second straight year, Cleveland is the presumptive pick to emerge as Eastern Conference champion. With Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love — both coming off surgeries and to be limited in the preseason — and a roster deepened by the additions of veterans Richard Jefferson and Mo Williams, the Cavs appear to have all the pieces to support James. One of them, though, is missing. Forward Tristan Thompson, who emerged as a post-season star after Love was lost with a dislocated shoulder, remains at odds with the Cavs over a new contract. The sides are in a stalemate and Thompson has until Oct. 1 to accept the team’s one-year qualifying offer of $6.9 million that would enable him to become an unrestricted free
agent next summer. The Cavs appreciate Thompson’s value, especially as an offensive rebounder, and want him around — but only at the right price. They have made offers in the range of $16 million per season, but Thompson’s representatives have been fixed on getting him a maximum contract worth more than $90 million for five years. James, who is also represented by Thompson’s agent, Rich Paul, is confident an agreement can be reached. The sides could mutually agree to extend the qualifying offer deadline. “As the leader of this team I understand how important Tristan is to this team,’’ said James. I thought we all saw what he was able to do last year, and not only in the post-season but all year around to help us be successful. So I’m very optimistic something will get done on both sides long-term.’’

Obituaries & In Memoriam SARA JANE BACHAND
CALEY CLINTON ANDERSEN
July 21, 1943 – September 21, 2015
November 13, 1985 – September 13, 2015
“How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”
It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Caley Clinton Andersen, our son, brother, grandson, nephew, cousin, and friend.
A.A. Milne, Winnie the Pooh
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sara Jane Bachand, after a short battle with cancer, surrounded by loved ones. Sara peacefully joined her parents and siblings. She is survived by her husband, Demonte, her sons and daughters-in-law, Malcolm, Marnie, Richard, and Lee Anne, her grandchildren, Taylor, Ali, Abbey, and Zach and many nieces, nephews and relatives throughout Alberta. While it is easy to mourn the loss of such a compassionate, intelligent, funny, and thoughtful woman, it is also easy to look back at the time we had with her and feel enormously blessed.
Born on November 13, 1985 in Kamloops, BC to Tena Andersen and Clint Andersen, Caley was raised in Kamloops until just after he graduated from high school. As a young adult Cale moved to the Lower Mainland, and temporarily lived up north in Fort McMurray, Alberta and other remote locations where he worked as a welder in the oil patch. Wherever he lived, wherever he worked, and wherever he travelled, Cale brought a steady stream of smiles, laughter, and joy to all who came to know him. At work and at play Cale was popular, fun-loving, and always ready to lend a hand to anyone who needed help or support.
Sara was born in Lethbridge, Alberta on July 21, 1943 to John Reed and Elva Asplund, and had four siblings Lois, Garnet, Ken and Maureen. She married Demonte Bachand on October 16, 1965, and in 1967 they moved to Kamloops, BC, where her and Monte raised a family, (and did a darn good job of it.) She was a multifaceted woman throughout her life: a homemaker, the owner of a bridal boutique, and a dedicated volunteer to a variety of community organizations.
Cale is lovingly remembered by his parents, Tena and Clint, his second mom, Tracy, second dad Glenn, brother Jamie, stepsiblings Chris, Stephen, Rachelle, grandparents, Gordon LaPlante, Mel and Karen Andersen, Marg Halvorsen and Tom Halvorsen, Dan and Bonnie Watt, Joanne and Norm Tegart, as well as many aunts, uncles, cousins, and a large community of friends and acquaintances. Cale loved his family, cherished each of his friendships, and gave everything he had to every person who was lucky enough to know him. Taken from us far too soon, he has left an indelible mark on everyone he touched, and will live forever in our hearts.
Family was truly the centre of Sara’s life, and she was happiest when everyone was together. Whether it was a family reunion, the holidays, or the weekly Sunday dinner, Sara’s children, grandchildren, and friends were always welcomed into a house brimming with love. Sara especially loved Christmas. No one could make the holidays more special, or make Christmas chocolates quite like her. (As much as she loved the Christmas holidays, she also enjoyed lots of winter vacations to Hawaii with Monte and her children, and eventually her grandchildren too!)
A celebration of Cale’s life was held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, September 25, 2015 at Riverside Funeral Home, 7410 Hopcott Road, Delta, BC (604.940.1313)
Our utmost warmth and gratitude goes out to all of those who have supported us through this difficult time. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC, V2E 2S9.
Although it is with heavy hearts that we say goodbye, it is grief that comes inevitably from having such an incredible woman bring so much happiness and love into our lives. She will be deeply missed.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Cale’s memory to KidSport Kamloops (www.kidsportcanada.ca)

ELVERA (VERA) COMAZZETTO (nee MUZZILLO) Vera passed away suddenly but peacefully on the night of September 23, 2015 at the age of 94. She leaves behind the heart broken family of her children Gary, Rita (Doug) and two other siblings and much adored grandchildren along with many nieces, nephews and wonderful relatives and friends.
She is lovingly remembered by her sons Larry (Kathy) and Gary (Janis), her sister Velma (Kamloops) and brother Vern (Dorothy) in Boswell. She has five grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild along with many nieces, nephews and friends. No formal service by request but a “Celebration of Life” will be held in the Holiday Inn & Suites, 675 Tranquille Road, Kamloops at 2:00 pm on Saturday, October 3rd, 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made at the Canadian Diabetes Association or a charity of your choice. On line condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454
She is survived by her sons, Roger (Joan) and James (Ann) Hunting, grandchildren Kaitlyn, Shannon (Nigel), Brandon (Judy), and Tyler as well as her greatgrandchildren Carter and Arya. She was predeceased by her husband Fred Shirley and her sons John and Richard (Carol). During the Second World War, Joan served in the Women’s Royal Naval Service (WRENS). She met and married John Hunting in 1946 and shortly after her twins were born. They left Britain to join John in British Honduras (Belize). She immigrated to Canada in 1952 and lived in Vancouver and Penticton. After her divorce from John, she married Fred Shirley and moved to Kamloops where she lived for 48 years. During that time, especially in later years, Joan was involved in various activities such as the Retired Teachers Association, Kamloops Blazers Booster Club and manning the desk at Cottonwood Manor. Besides her family, Joan had many special people in her life including Gary Fridell and Deanna Newberry whom she regarded as her adopted son and daughter. She also had a very special friend Bonnie Peterson without whom, she acknowledged, her life would have been much plainer, duller and quieter and a lot less fun! Joan wished to deeply thank all the men and women at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home who made her passing one of dignity and ease. She enjoyed and appreciated you all very much. There will be a Celebration of Life, conducted by Pastor Wiest on Thursday, October 8, 2015 at 2:00 pm in the Dogwood Room at Cottonwood Manor followed by refreshments. No flowers please, but donations to the Kamloops Hospice or the SPCA would be appreciated.

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

Triple-fatal crash parents’ ‘worst nightmare’ THE CANADIAN PRESS
VAUGHAN, Ont. — The parents of three young children who died in a crash involving an alleged drunk driver north of Toronto said Monday they are in shock and called it their “worst nightmare.’’ The children’s mother, Jennifer Neville-Lake, who also lost her father in the crash, told Toronto television station CP24 the news hasn’t fully sunk in yet. “It’s like the worst nightmare, as a daughter, as a parent, to have to go through and just know it was caused by someone’s stupidity. . . . It just kills me,’’ she said. Daniel Neville-Lake, 9, his brother Harrison, 5, and sister Milly, 2, died after the crash that
took place Sunday afternoon in Vaughan, Ont. Neville-Lake said her father often took care of the children because she and her husband both work full time. Daniel was devoted to dance, having taken ballet for several years, and went to Cubs meetings every week, his mother said. He loved to play strategy games, she said. Harrison — nicknamed Harry — was a bilateral hand amputee and was often sick, Neville-Lake said. He also had a developmental delay, she said. “Harry was just so happy. He loved beauty, loved to dance, loved long flowing hair and dresses and
pink and My Little Pony,’’ she said. Milly, she said, was “feisty’’ and loved to play outside. The two youngest siblings died together in hospital, holding hands, as their grandmother — who was driving the van and suffered serious injuries — sang to them over the phone, Neville-Lake said. “She didn’t know that my dad had died,’’ she said. “She was driving and was pinned in the car and was screaming the kids’ names and she couldn’t . . . there was no answer. “At first she thought it was her hearing but it wasn’t until I called her from Sick Kids and I said, ‘Mommy the babies are dying, I need you to sing to them please,’
so she did, she sang to each of them and then she found out about my dad.’’ Police said all were travelling in the same vehicle when their car was struck by another car. Fire officials said they were T-boned by the other car. A third vehicle was also involved in the crash but its two occupants were not injured. A 29-year-old man was charged with a dozen impaired-driving offences and appeared briefly in court Monday. Marco Muzzo of King Township, Ont., also faces six charges related to the dangerous operation of a motor vehicle. He is due in court for a bail hearing Friday. Crown attorney Brian McCallion said he will be
NDP demands resignation of Families minister VICTORIA — British B.C. News Columbia’s Minister of Children and Families Stephanie Cadieux has weathered repeated calls in the provincial legislature to resign over the death of an 18-yearold male in government care. Alex Gervais fell from the fourth-floor window of an Abbotsford hotel on Sept. 18, and his death drew attention again to the ministry that has been battered by controversies during Cadieux’s tenure. A B.C. Supreme Court judge ruled in July the ministry showed “reckless disregard’’ when it didn’t investigate children’s claims that their father had sexually abused them, noting the man even molested his daughter while she was in foster care. New Democratic Leader John Horgan questioned whether Cadieux has the skills to lead the ministry and asked her to resign, a request that was repeated by two more NDP members. Cadieux ignored the demands, saying instead she is committed to her job and since November 2014 her ministry has increased its front-line child-protection social workers by 110. She said any policies coming from the examination of Gervais’s death will be incorporated by the ministry.

Lesson plan for new curriculum VICTORIA — The B.C. government is rolling out a $1-million plan to educate the teachers on the new provincial curriculum. Education Minister Mike Bernier announced the funding for the phased-in curriculum that highlights collaboration and critical thinking by students while focusing on the basics of reading, writing and arithmetic. Bernier said the kindergarten to Grade 12 curriculum will be fully implemented by the 20172018 school year. Schools have the option this year of starting to implement the new curriculum up to Grade 9. The minister says the announcement, attended by the B.C. Teachers Association, trustees, principals, superintendents and parent organizations, is a sign of the wide-ranging commitment to improving education.
contesting Muzzo’s release. Muzzo’s lawyer Rudi Covre would only say his client is struggling. “I’m sure you can appreciate that this is a very tough time for him,’’ he said outside the courthouse after the hearing. “It’s a difficult period in his life right now. We’re going to have to get through it.’’ The two boys were students at St. Joachim Elementary School in Brampton, Ont. — Daniel was in Grade 4 and Harrison in senior kindergarten, according to the school board. Grief counsellors are at the Catholic school and today’s mass will be dedicated to the siblings, spokesman Bruce Campbell said.
Notley hints at stray from federal NDP GIUSEPPE VALIANTE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — A federal cap-and-trade system to reduce greenhouse gas emissions may not be suitable for Alberta, the province’s NDP premier said yesterday, one day after her federal counterpart proposed such a plan on the campaign trail. Rachel Notley, on the first leg of a business trip to Montreal, New York City and Toronto, told executives and politicians that a national cap-and-trade system “may not be our best road forward.’’ She added Alberta — whose economy is heavily dependent on the greenhouse gas-intensive oilsands — must get its act together to reduce emissions or risk having a “solution imposed on us’’ by the federal government and international resource markets. On Sunday, NDP Leader Tom Mulcair proposed a national carbon-trading system to combat man-made greenhouse gas emissions, which are considered by an overwhelming number of interna-
tional scientists as the leading cause of climate change. He said provinces would be allowed to opt out of a national scheme if their efforts are as good as or better, but didn’t provide details. “We’re not going to replace something that’s working,’’ Mulcair said. Notley said her province “may address climate change using different tools than Ontario and Quebec will use,’’ referring to a deal between those provinces to work together to cut emissions with a cap-andtrade system. While Notley didn’t provide specific targets or details about her strategy, she said Alberta will move away from coalfired plants — which she said account for 55 per cent of the province’s electricity supply — and look into renewable energy, energy efficiency and some form of carbon pricing. “We will be looking for a strategy to phase out the use of coal as quickly as we reasonably can,’’ she said, adding she will “phase in change prudently, as our econ-
omy recovers,’’ in recognition of the fact Alberta is likely to run at least a $5-billion deficit this year because of a drastic drop in oil prices. But Notley said she recognizes her province needs to change the way it is perceived nationally and internationally regarding the fight against climate change — and soon. “If we don’t get it right on this issue, a solution is going to be imposed on us — sooner or later — by others. By the federal government and by our markets, who will increasingly insist that energy products then buy be mined and processed responsibly.’’ Alberta’s opposition party, Wildrose, decried the fact Notley didn’t specifically mention major resource projects involving the oilsands, such as TransCanada’s Energy East pipeline, which the company wants to build to move crude from Alberta through Ontario and Quebec to be shipped overseas. Notley took no questions after her speech.

Crash claims one life
Coroner pegs suicides in Nunavut at crisis level
THE CANADIAN PRESS
IQALUIT, Nunavut — Nunavut’s chief coroner supports the verdict of a fatality inquest jury that found suicide should be declared a public health emergency in the territory. An official acknowledgment that Nunavut’s suicide rate is a crisis might be the way to break a logjam in the territory’s ability to implement major parts of its suicide prevention strategy, Padma Suramala said yesterday. “We came to know through the inquest there was an issue to implement the suicide action plan,’’ she said. “They were lacking only in funding.’’ The jury also said Nunavut should create a ministry exclusively devoted to suicide prevention. The territory’s health minister refused to say how the government will respond. “I have to work with my cabinet colleagues,’’ said Paul Okalik. “I will be taking all the recommendations to cabinet.’’ Suramala called the inquest in early 2014 after a record number of people in Nunavut had killed themselves the previous year.
REVELSTOKE — An early morning crash on Highway 1 in southeastern B.C. has claimed the life of an Alberta woman. Police say they were called yesterday to a report of a crash about 35 kilometres east of Revelstoke. RCMP Staff Sgt. Kurt Grabinsky said a vehicle went down an embankment, hitting several trees along the way. The male driver climbed out and flagged down a passing vehicle for help. The woman — whose name and hometown hasn’t been released — died in the crash. Grabinsky said it was foggy at the time of the crash, but it’s not known if that was a factor in the accident.

Crime hangover in Alberta JOHN COTTER

EDMONTON — Edmonton police are linking the downturn in the oilpatch to a spike in crime. Chief Rod Knecht said officers have responded to 9,000 more calls for service this year, compared to the same time in 2014. Violent crime is up 12 per cent, property crime 18 per cent and the number of 911 emergency calls is up by almost 14 per cent. Knecht said the calls for service are not all serious crimes, but added this “significant’’ jump means sometimes his officers take longer to respond. “When oil is up, we are busy,
and when oil is down, we are really busy,’’ Knecht said yesterday. “And that is just because a lot of folks are coming back to Edmonton from, say, Fort McMurray, Cold Lake, other points north, and they are staging here in Edmonton waiting for the price of oil to go back up so they can go back to work.’’ Knecht said it was almost like someone threw a switch last November. That’s when the price of oil tumbled to below US$70 a barrel after the OPEC cartel declined to cut oil production. “We saw a [crime] spike occur then and it has continued on since then. You can say the crime rate is linked, to a certain degree, to the price of oil.’’ Oil was trading not much
above US$44 yesterday. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers estimates that 35,000 jobs in the oil and gas industry have been shed so far this year. Last week, Calgary-based TransCanada told its workforce that more staff cuts are on the horizon. To deal with the increase in calls, Knecht is asking the City of Edmonton for 80 more officers and support staff. He also plans to assign more police to work crime cases instead of other duties, such as responding to minor traffic accidents. Knecht said no one knows how long this downturn is going to last, but he believes it is early in the game.
The total number of deaths reached 45 — a number that included an 11-year-old child — and brought the territory’s suicide rate to 13 1/2 times the national average. Few in the territory are unaffected. Almost everyone knows someone who has committed suicide. The territory is replete with tragedy, including one case in which a grandmother who was distraught over the suicide of her granddaughter killed herself. Late Friday, the jury returned a verdict re-emphazing 41 of the 42 recommendations in Nunavut’s 2010 suicide prevention plan. It added another 10 recommendations from the territorial government that were made during the inquest. But none of them will prevent a single death unless they are put into play — and that takes resources, said Suramala. “A considerable amount of effort has been put in to develop Nunavut’s suicide prevention strategy,’’ she said. “We know it was lacking in the implementation.’’ Declaring a public health emergency might qualify the territory for federal programs, she said.

STUBBORN KID
RCMP deal with hoofed Tim’s patron THE CANADIAN PRESS
WARMAN, Sask. — Mounties in the Saskatoon area didn’t let an unexpected visitor get their goat when they were called to a disturbance at a Tim Hortons on the weekend. RCMP in Warman were called out because a stubborn kid was refusing to leave the coffee shop early Sunday morning. Employees asked him to leave and walked him outside, but he just turned around and came back
through the automated doors. Two officers, believing the animal was just cold, took him into their police cruiser, but he kicked up a fuss, so they decided to try to find where he came from. But despite going to every farmhouse in the area, they were unable to locate his home and took the goat to an animal hospital instead. Police say they are happy to report that the goat has been reunited with his owners after his night on the town.

Then, you lost two each of green, blue and violet.You now have a prime number of marbles of each colour and all of these numbers are different — and the number of marbles you have now is the lowest number it can be.
