Emails, texts show Cavers warned of being censured ANDREA KLASSEN

After erupting in frustration over the proposed Ajax mine, Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers came close to facing formal censure from his colleagues this past summer. “Your comments and add ons in this email and many others (using an asterisk doesn’t make the swearing better) are in my opinion continually treading a fine line,” Mayor Peter Milobar wrote in an email to Coun. Donovan Cavers in late August. “I would suggest we

Shane Gottfriedson put out a warning yesterday to the oil-pipeline industry: “We can be your best damn partner or your worst damn enemy.” The outgoing chief of the Tk’emlups Indian Band gave his first speech in Kamloops since being elected to the regional chief position with the Assembly of First Nations. He told a gathering of First Nations people and consultants gathered at a pipeline summit that big business can’t do any business without them. “We hold all the cards when it comes to

ARE THESE COSTUMES OFFENSIVE? TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A member of the Tk’emlups Indian Band is hoping to not see culturally “offensive” costumes on store shelves next Halloween. Jeffrey McNeil-Seymour, an instructor in the social-work school at Thompson Rivers University, said he spotted inappropriate costumes at a seasonal Sahali costume store while shopping last weekend. “I was with my sister and my nieces and we were at Halloween Alley and we barely even penetrated the bulk of the store — and we came across a Chief Long Arrow costume,” he told KTW. “This has been an ongoing issue for well over the last four years in terms of cultural appropriation.” McNeil-Seymour said he saw
a number of additional offensive costumes in the store, including “a sexualized costume of an Indian princess.” Lori Barber, manager of the Kamloops Halloween Alley location, said she has received very little feedback about offensive costumes. “We’ve had two people coming in and asking who they would call regarding the product we carry,” she said. “I am a franchise, so I have no say in the product we carry.” Barber said the “offensive” costumes are selling. “Most definitely,” she said. “Just as much as our ninja costumes or anything else.” Tony Hugens, director of retail development for Halloween Alley parent company CMS Famous Toys, said the costumes aren’t meant to offend.

“At Halloween Alley, it is not our intention to offend any race or creed,” he said. “We are not in the position of judging how the costumes are being used by our customers, but our intention is that every costume celebrates a part of someone’s life — and, in some cases, it might be celebrating a certain culture or nationality.” McNeil-Seymour said he decided to speak out after noticing a number of other members of the aboriginal community criticizing the costumes on social media. “My whole intent for voicing my concern is that next year these things aren’t in the stores,” he said, noting that he is skeptical. “One can always have hope. But, as I said, it’s been an ongoing issue for over four years. “But, one can always have hope.”
BC Hydro will spend an estimated $49 million to install a new electrical substation near Kenna Cartwright Park. The company has purchased industrial land off Bunker Road from the City of Kamloops, next to the nature park and the city’s public works yard. The cost of the deal is not yet public because the sale is still pending while BC Hydro completes a study of the site, but Kamloops CAO David Trawin said the city received “market value” for the land. In a release, BC Hydro said the station will meet a growing demand for electricity locally, due to an expected increase in population of about 25 per cent over the next two decades. The city site was chosen because it is near transmission lines and BC Hydro believes the substation is unlikely to have “substantial environmental or archeological” impacts on the area. BC Hydro deputy CEO Chris O’Riley said the substation is part of $2.4 billion per year the utility will spend over the next decade as it expands its generation facilities and power grid throughout the province. A design for the station is still in the works, with more information expected at a public open house to be held later this year or in early 2016. Construction of the project is expected to begin in the fall of 2016, with the station going into use in 2018.

GUILTY VERDICT IN 2010 FATAL LAKE CRASH STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Travelling on the blackness of Shuswap Lake more than five years ago, Leon Reinbrecht piloted his speedboat too fast, wasn’t looking for hazards and did not follow a consistent course when he struck a houseboat, killing its operator, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled. Justice Sheri Donegan found Leon Reinbrecht guilty on Tuesday of criminal negligence causing death and criminal negligence causing bodily harm in connection to the July 3, 2010, crash in Magna Bay that left houseboat operator Ken Brown dead at the scene and at least five other people injured. The resulting impact
from the accident following post-Canada Day fireworks on the lake resulted in Reinbrecht’s boat coming to a stop inside the houseboat. Reinbrecht’s defence lawyers suggested the Crown had not proven Reinbrecht was piloting his speedboat dangerously, suggesting instead Brown was at fault because his houseboat was not properly lit and he was intoxicated. But, Donegan agreed with Crown prosecutors Camille Cook and Neil Flanagan that there is ample evidence Reinbrecht’s “joyride” that night — after he dropped off several passengers on shore and returned for a nighttime cruise at speeds between 30 and 40 m.p.h. (48 to 64 km/h), cutting donuts and zig-zagging — was

reckless and endangered the safety of his passengers and others. “It constitutes a pattern of wanton or reckless behaviour that amounts to a marked and substantial departure from the standard of care of a reasonably prudent operator in the circumstances,” Donegan said.
Brown’s sister, Patty Oliver, said the verdict comes as a relief after more than five years of awaiting justice. “We all knew in our minds he was guilty,” said Oliver, who watched the trial that spanned 30 days of trial time over six months. “It wasn’t intention-
al. It was just stupid.” Oliver said family and friends, along with people who are still injured from the crash, want an acknowledgement by Reinbrecht. “You made a mistake,” she said. “Own up to what you did.” However, it’s not clear if Donegan’s ruling is the last word for Reinbrecht. Defence lawyer Joe Doyle earlier filed a Charter application putting the court on

notice he reserves the right to challenge any conviction based on unreasonable delays. He told Donegan he will take instruction from Reinbrecht whether he wants to continue that application, which has yet to be heard. The trial heard from more than 50 witnesses, many of whom were on shore or aboard a boat that night. The crash happened after boat traffic on the lake had thinned out, at about 11:15 p.m. Brown was piloting a straight course at a moderate speed toward home. While Donegan acknowledged Brown was impaired by drugs and alcohol, she ruled there was nothing he could have done to prevent the nearly head-on crash. She also found his houseboat’s green and red navigational lights and a stern light were visible, as was an
interior cabin light. “In my view, the evidence proves that Mr. Brown had no chance to react to the motorboat as it approached . . . Only seconds passed between the motorboat’s last joyriding manoeuvre and its impact with the houseboat.” The B.C. Supreme Court justice found Reinbrecht had just completed a u-turn and was accelerating back up to 30 m.p.h. (48 km/h) — looking back at his passenger — when his boat slammed into Brown’s houseboat. “There is no question in my mind that Mr. Reinbrecht’s conduct is sufficient to support the conclusion he bears the necessary moral responsibility,” Donegan ruled. A conviction of criminal negligence causing death carries with it a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Cavers’ outburst linked to Ajax From A1
In a series of emails and text messages from this past summer, uncovered through a Freedom of Information application by Radio NL and obtained by KTW, Cavers swore at and questioned the integrity of both senior city staff and his fellow councillors. While he apologized for his comments and was never censured, the messages highlight the behind-thescenes tensions in the debate over the proposed copper and gold mine. Four members of city council, including Cavers, are opposed to the mine, with the remaining five reserving judgement until analysis of Ajax’s application for environmental review is completed. The outburst appears to stem from the city’s decision to hire SLR Consulting to conduct a review of the mine’s impact on Kamloops. In a string of emails to public works director Jen Fretz and CAO David Trawin, Cavers appears to become increasingly concerned about whether SLR would be able to fairly assess Ajax, since it has a history of working for mining proponents looking for provincial approval. “Doesn’t bode well for their ability to look in-depth at the probable city wide negatives associated with the project being approved,” he wrote, before turning his attention to Trawin’s personal finances. “David - I get uber nervous when this type of thing ‘crops up’ because as one of the nine voices on city council I know (because I’ve seen the annual director financial disclosures) that your investments are ‘heavily weighted’ toward funds that are into oil, gas, coal, etc, etc, and that hasn’t changed over the last 3 years of annual director financial disclosures I’ve seen. I’m nearly certain that your professionalism totally supercedes personal biases but it makes me wonder [long into the wee hours occasionally] because you, as CAO, and your directors, and their managers, have a lot of sway every day of the week (some Tuesdays inclusive). Having said that I think you’re doing a phenomenal job also. Just nix the ‘extractive resource stocks’ for f*ck sakes!!!! #climatechange” It was at that point Milobar — who was copied in on the missive — stepped in to raise the threat of censure. “There was starting to be tones to emails that were troublesome, and staff don’t deserve to have their investments questioned and things like that,” Milobar told KTW. Cavers briefly doubled down, firing off: “F--k professionalism when it come to an OPEN PIT MINE IMMEDIATELY BESIDE PACIFIC WAY ELEMENTARY SCHOOL!!!” But, by the next day, he had apologized to Trawin and Milobar said any talk of censure was dropped.
DONOVAN CAVERS: Apologies followed emails and texts.
“This was back in August,” Milobar said. “That being said, this was back in August and it hasn’t exactly been quiet on that front in the last little while.” Since the email and text exchange, Cavers annoyed some on council by wearing a shirt with the slogan “Heave Steve” and a caricature of Prime Minister Stephen Harper to a meeting during the federal election campaign. He also walked out of a meeting in September after a vote didn’t go his way. Milobar feels it is up to voters to decide how they want city councillors to act. “Ultimately, Donovan’s actions will or won’t resonate with the public and, three years from now, that’s up to the public to decide,” Milobar said. “He polled fairly well, a lot of people like what he brings to the table and we’re all still working with him.” Coun. Arjun Singh — who also called for Cavers’ censure — believes Cavers will have to work to repair relationships on council. “You’re cooked,” Singh told Cavers via text message after reading the emails. A few messages later he added, “What you are doing is really getting you into a bad place.” “I don’t care what happens to me so long as the only mines employing Kamloopsians are either underground or 70kms away like [Highland Valley Copper],” Cavers wrote back. Cavers also criticized Milobar’s dedication to being mayor. “I often doubt that he still has passion for the job,” Cavers wrote. And, a few texts later: “Peter always just seems to take the ‘easy way out’ whatever the situation is . . . my perception.” Singh thinks Cavers is working to put much of what was said in August behind him. “I think Donovan realizes those were mistakes,” he told KTW. “I don’t want it to seem like things are all tidied up now in a nice little bow. I think there are still some feelings of, ‘OK, what might be coming around the corner?’ and I think Donovan has to be aware of that — and I think he is.” KTW left messages yesterday on Cavers’ cellphone and sent messages to him via social media. He had not replied by press deadline.

City of Kamloops may trash free landfill days ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops is looking to eliminate the annual free landfill days at the Mission Flats and Barnhartvale dumps. Streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow told council at a Tuesday workshop that residents don’t tend to separate their waste on the free day and, since they don’t have to pay fees, often throw away wood waste and other materials the city prefers to divert out of the landfill. Free landfill days was one of several issues flagged during a review of the city’s solid-waste disposal service, which is also prompting changes to where residents drag their garbage carts for pickup. Rather than do away with the free day altogether, Coun. Ken Christian suggested the city waive tipping fees on specific types of waste on various days of the year. “Right now, everybody trots out all the stuff they’ve had behind their house for a while and I don’t think that meets our objectives for solid waste,” he said. Community recycling depots
City of Kamloops
at Ord Road, McGill Road and the Mission Flats and Barnhartvale landfills are another sore spot for public works. Farrow said the depots are prime targets for illegal dumping and vandalism and are also “somewhat redundant” because Multi-Material B.C. also contracts with three recycling depots in the city to provide similar services. “You should see the one at Ord. It’s all graffitied and tagged up. It’s disgusting and embarrassing,” he told council . Farrow said the city plans to bring a proposal for a commercial recycling program to council next year, which will also include solutions for dealing with the depots.
Don’t trash that food
A food-waste program is in the works for the city. Public works director Jen Fretz told council her staff is working on plan for food-waste collection that will likely come to council in about a year. Fretz said the main question is where the waste will go once it’s picked up by the city, noting it will likely be composted with biosolids from the wastewater-treatment plant.

UNION WANTS IHA TO FOLD PRIVATE PLAN
Hospital Employees’ Union members Cheryl Clark (left) and Talitha Dekker join a demonstration along Columbia Street on Tuesday to call for retention of government-run laundry services in Interior Health Authority hospitals. The IHA is delaying a decision on whether to proceed with the contracting out of its hospital laundry service, including the laundry department at Royal Inland Hospital, which employs 15. The protest in Kamloops was joined by similar demonstrations in Kelowna, Nelson, 100 Mile House and Penticton.

Alley oops? Backlash expected with laneway trash plan ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Up to 4,000 residents on the North Shore and downtown may have to drag their garbage carts in a different direction next year. City of Kamloops public works staff wants to get rid of laneway collection on routes it says are unsafe for the fleet of garbage trucks. Homes affected are located mainly in the McDonald Park area of North Kamloops and south of Columbia Street downtown, accord-
ing to streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow. “There’s certain movements that we just shouldn’t be doing,” Farrow told Kamloops city council at a workshop meeting on Tuesday, pointing to dead-end laneways with overgrown trees and power poles, into which trucks must back in order to pickup waste and issues “There’s potential for property damage based on how tight some of the lanes are,” Farrow said. “You’re weaving back and forth between power poles and there’s buildings and fences encroaching on city right-
of-ways.” Farrow said if the city wants to maintain collection in those lanes, it needs to look at purchasing a smaller truck at a cost of about $300,000, plus another $100,000 for a staffer to drive it. In addition to having some residents drag their garbage carts out in front of their homes, Farrow said, others may have to put out their carts only on one side of the alley or in spots easier for trucks to reach. The recommendations come as part of a core review of the city’s solid-waste department. Similar reviews
are being conducted throughout the city’s operations, at council’s request. “While we can agree with Mr. Farrow now, I think we have to be able to agree with him six months from now,” said Coun. Ken Christian, urging fellow councillors to “sit tall in the saddle when the gallery fills up with laneway people.” Mayor Peter Milobar said the city needs to make a case to residents that there are real safety and technical concerns for the changes, since it won’t have much effect on the solidwaste fees paid by households. “I think we have to be very care-
ful thinking that this is going to be applauded by people,” Milobar said. Farrow said the city last phased out a single laneway in 2009, when it moved collection service out of an alley between Chestnut and Vernon avenues in North Kamloops. The move was so controversial, with a petition and a delegation of upset residents taking their concerns to council, that no other changes to collection were made. Farrow said he hopes to see laneway-pickup changes in place by next year. A report will be back to council in the first quarter of 2016.
Promises, warning flow at summit CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kinder Morgan president Ian Anderson has promised jobs, training, joint venture partnerships and long-lasting benefits to First Nations along the route of the proposed twinning of the company’s Trans Mountain pipeline. However, a veteran native leader warned the same group of First Nations gathered at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre this week that damage from the oil and gas industry is forever, while its payout is short-lived. Several hundred First Nations people, including leaders, gathered in Kamloops yesterday and Tuesday for a pipeline summit organized by
the Lower Nicola Indian Band. “Rights and title has never been questioned,” said Anderson, whose company wants to twin the petroleum pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby. “We accepted this as necessary and an obligation we have to fulfill.” Anderson said beyond contracts, jobs and training during construction will be a long-lasting relationship with First Nations — the “eyes and ears” of the company to report problems, secure the line and provide maintenance. If the pipeline receives regulatory approvals, it promises rich benefits beyond construction. Whispering Pines Indian Band is the first along the route to reach a deal with Kinder Morgan.
Chief Mike Lebourdais confirmed that agreement is worth between $10 and $20 million over 20 years, with benefits going to elder pensions and youth programs for the small band. But, Stuart Phillip, grand chief of B.C. Union of Indian Chiefs, told the assembled band members, leaders, business consultants and public-relations staff that oil and gas development “is probably the most important issue we’ll deal with in our lifetimes. “We all know the dire consequences of global warming and climate change,” he said. “We know the oil and gas industry is

a major player.” As for benefits from Kinder Morgan, Phillip said they will not last once construction is completed. He cited the example of one of his sons and his nephews, who worked on the Southern Crossing Pipeline in the Okanagan between Canada, noting the work came and went. Lebourdais said his band started with a basic question: “What if we turned the whole pipeline into an Indian reserve and taxed the hell out of it?” The resulting agreement with his band provides those kind of benefits, he said.

WHAT ARE THEY HIDING FROM US?
I
t is evident the B.C. Liberal government has operated in a cloak of secrecy. Premier Christy Clark and her various cabinet ministers can protest all day long, act indignant and vow to ensure MLAs and staff respect the commitment to open government so earnestly promised during the last election campaign. The reality is this government’s actions render all those words pointless. We just finished reading Privacy Commissioner Elizabeth Denham’s scathing report that found various arms of government — including the premier’s own office — have deleted emails, withheld information requested or otherwise has acted in such a way as to deliberately not leave a paper trail. Having just been torched by perhaps the most damning report during its time in power, we learn this week that the practise of leaving no information crumbs seems to have no boundaries. When the Opposition NDP and the Vancouver Sun requested information — documents, emails, briefing notes, anything — related to the health-ministry firings scandal, they were told there were no records. An employee who was fired later committed suicide and there is not a shred of any dialogue in government? We echo NDP critic Katrine Conroy’s incredulity as stated on Tuesday in the legislature: “So, the head of the public service didn’t have a single record over two years about the biggest human resources scandal in B.C. history. Forgive us if we find that a bit hard to swallow.” A culture of delete and one in which government takes pains to not record anything is reflective of a government that has something to hide. Does it?

Bass was a fish out of water
I
flipped the fish. OK, make the joke about a Bass flipping a fish. Trust me, I was horrified when I saw it no longer on the plate, but lying on the table. No one else in the room cared; there was plenty more fish to come as a small army of people with far more restaurant experience than me worked to feed the sold-out crowd at the weekend’s Kamloops Chamber of Commerce Business Excellence Awards gala. I have none. I have never worked as anything but a reporter — except for an earlier retirement attempt that led to a year working for the federal government in the passport office, ostensibly to try a normal job, but rapidly discovering it wasn’t normal at all. Serving at the gala seemed like a good idea at the time (cue my family’s laughter.) Shawn Harnett, food and beverage manager at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Convention Centre, had put out a request for extra hands to help with the event. My two younger boys, both with restaurant experience and looking for jobs, offered to do it. Then one became sick and I got the bright idea, not wanting to see Harnett down one helper, that I’d just fill in for my kid. How hard could it be? Boss Christopher Foulds recommended that, when I broke a dish — and he assured me I would — I should simply yell out, “I’m Greek!” My hubby just stared at me as if I had just announced I thought I could be an astronaut. Sick son told me he was proud

LEVEL of me for taking this on. That should have been a big clue. So, garbed in black and wearing what I thought was smart footwear — a pair of black boots with a nice sturdy heel — off youngest son and I went. First job: Put bottles of wine on the tables. No problem. Next, take out baskets with buns for the tables. Again, piece of cake. Heading out to pick up used glasses, bottles, anything that might be on tables during the opening reception, I realized how foolhardy this was. It’s not easy walking smoothly through a crowd of several hundred, all herded around three bar areas in the lobby of the convention centre. Complicating it were people I knew — and there were a lot of them — who were perplexed that I was working the event. Most expressed the sentiment that I had gone above and beyond mom duty. When I advised one of the managers that giving me a tray and expecting me to carry three or
four plates of food around where men and women were dressed in their finery was probably not a good idea, I was sent to the plating area. It is a room with many long tables, plenty of cooks and chefs and large steel contraptions plugged into the wall with labels like carrots, cauliflower, rice. I was told to keep the food moving. Hence the flipped fish. As each person did their part in creating the dinners, I had to get those plates to the front of the room for the servers — quickly. One plate must have skipped or swerved because there it was, a butter-covered piece of fish on the table. There was no time to deal with it. I had to move the plates along around that fish — which was staring at me, reminding me I was so far out of my element. There’s so much more that could be said. The evening wrapped up with son sitting and waiting for me to finish a volunteer shift as a coat-check person (another first for the resume!) with two of my favourite people from the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter, Jacquie Brand and Michelle Walker. The shelter collected donations to hang up coats. My job was to help return those coats — and I nailed it. I didn’t drop a single coat. Final point: The mocking continued Sunday morning when I was hobbling around the kitchen looking a little like a zombie or, for those whose vintage goes back that far, the way Arte Johnson would shuffle along on Laugh-In. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR PAC: RESIDENTS TIE PAC TO CITY’S SOCIAL NEEDS CANNOT AFFORD IT I propose a social“housing project be
Editor: Although I do not necessary disagree with the development of the proposed performing-arts centre (PAC), I wonder if our citizens aware of what accumulated tax increases it will bring. In 2015, city council struggled to bring in a two per cent property-tax increase. Although I applaud its efforts, this was less than inflation and, at some point, we’ll have to catch up. Now I am told that, in 2016, if approved, there will be a one per cent tax increase for the PAC — and there will have to be another increase in the general revenue tax base for the city. Then we move into 2017, which brings another one per cent increase in taxes for the PAC — and, again, council has to increase taxes for general revenue. Is another two per cent possible? We have to be realistic at some point. Let’s do the math. At a minimum, we are looking at a general tax increase of eight per cent over two years. Also, we have to expect ICBC, BC Hydro, FortisBC, etc. will want more, not to mention likely increases in generic services (water, garbage, sewer, etc,) and provincial fees. Many have pointed to the city’s inability to cost out projects and we have examples of budget overruns that require funds from somewhere. Again, we are told the development of the parkade will be funded by parking meter and current parkades’ revenue. What will we use to fund the maintenance of these if that revenue is directed elsewhere? Many communities have built and successfully operate PACs, but the funding is through P3 agreements or sponsorship. Kamloops residents cannot afford additional taxes, especially when that tax supports a special interest group, which is why I am voting no. We’re just not ready. Joe Lindsay Kamloops
Editor: Regarding the Nov. 7 referendum on the performing-arts centre (PAC) and parkade: I enjoy the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and would appreciate listening to a concert in a new, stateof-the-art arts complex. Therefore, I can see myself with fellow Kamloopians (mainly middle class, of course) enjoying the orchestra and perhaps having a glass of fine wine during the intermission in our brand new arts centre on a cold November night. Meanwhile, far from my thoughts, but well within
walking distance of the proposed arts centre at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue, will be the homeless of our city — cold and shivering under wet blankets and flimsy tarps. I write this not to provoke a collective guilt from those of us fortunate enough to have warm homes and the means to enjoy the various performances/exhibitions such a venue would afford. Rather, I propose a social-housing project be tied to the funding/construction of the performingarts centre. I do not necessarily
tied to the funding/ construction of the PAC.
”
mean a housing project physically linked to the arts centre, but that such a housing project should be funded and built concurrently with the PAC. By adopting the above proposal, Kamloops would become a more inclusive and vibrant community for all her citizens. Paul Corcoran Kamloops
YES TO THE PERFORMING-ARTS CENTRE Editor: It wasn’t that many years ago that residents of Kamloops were asked to approve construction of Riverside Coliseum (now Sandman Centre) and the Tournament Capital Centre. Both places are well used and are assets to the community. Can you imagine not having these facilities? Thank goodness the residents had the sense to approve them. Now it’s time to approve construction of the performing-arts centre. We need a new facility with ample seating to accommodate Western Canada Theatre and Kamloops Symphony Orchestra productions, touring groups such as the Russian Ballet, musical performers, Broadway musicals, school graduation ceremonies and countless other user groups.
Somehow Nelly Dever, spokeswoman of the PAC Not Yet commitee, thinks the proposed outdoor theatre at Cascades Casino is the answer. She has to be kidding. When doctors, professionals and other workers consider choosing a community in which to live, they look at the available amenities — athletic and cultural. Having a state-of-the-art theatre might just be the perk needed to bring them to Kamloops. We need to act now before interest rates start to soar. Please vote yes on Nov. 7 for the performing-arts centre. Marie Fabbro Kamloops

The message Murray Sinclair brought to Kamloops crystallized in one moment during his presentation on Monday night. Having just shown a video of people speaking on the issue, the chairman of the Indian Residential Schools Truth and Reconciliation Commission asked for survivors of the schools to stand up. Dozens rose — aboriginal men and women from different generations. “The work remains,” the justice told the standing-room only crowd in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University. “We must continue showing this to our children and our grandchildren so they can have the courage to move forward.” Sinclair took the audience through a history lesson on residential schools and the education system that led to the largest class-action lawsuit in Canadian history, all thanks to an aboriginal women who lived in Nova Scotia and was sent for five years to the Subenacadie Indian Residential School. Nora Bernard started the movement that exposed the abuse children experienced in the schools, young aboriginals who were in many cases taken from their families. Sinclair quoted statements made by Canada’s first prime minister, John A. MacDonald, who once said: “Indian children should be withdrawn as much as possible from the parental influence and the only way to do that would be to put them in central training industrial schools, where they will acquire the habits and mode of thought of white men.” MacDonald called Indian parents “savages” and, if they were literate, “simply a savage who can read and write.” Sinclair talked of studies that indicate as many as 40 per cent of children sent to residential schools likely died there or died fleeing from them. In most schools, he explained, there was no curriculum, noting many of the people in charge of classes weren’t teachers. Sinclair told the crowd his commission, which released its report and 94 recommendations in June, could not look at 130 residential schools because they were under the auspices of the federal government, rather than churches and other organizations. Instead, the commission focused on 140 schools and, in doing so, made recommendations on key areas, including education, health care, child welfare and justice. Prime minister-designate Justin Trudeau has pledged to act on the recommendations, in particular three of them — immediately launch a national public inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women, implement the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and end chronic underfunding of the First Nations education system. Sinclair’s presentation was sponsored by the university’s President’s Lecture Series and the students’ union’s Story Tellers Gala.
Work site changes The B.C. government has introduced changes to WorkSafeBC legislation in the wake of fatal dust explosions at two northern B.C. sawmills in 2012. MLAs are debating a bill that requires employers to report all workplace fires or explosions that had the potential to cause serious injury to a worker, require employer investigation reports to be posted or reported to employees, and allows WorkSafeBC to help workplace health and
safety committees to resolve disagreements over health and safety issues. Two mill workers died and 20 others were injured when an explosion and fire tore through the Babine Forest Products sawmill on Jan. 20, 2012. On April 23, 2012 a similar explosion killed two workers and injured 22 more employees at Lakeland Mills in Prince George. No criminal charges were laid in either event.

Flasher nabbed outside school It was a pro-D day, but that didn’t stop a visitor to a Valleyview school from de-panting outside a classroom window. Now, the flasher is sitting in police custody. Kamloops RCMP Const. Jason Epp said officers were called to Marion Schilling elementary at 10:20 a.m. on Oct. 23
after a teacher encountered the man, who was standing outside the school, his pants around his ankles. There were no children in the school as educational staff were involved in a professionaldevelopment day. The male ran from the school grounds after the princi-
pal called police. Epp said the man was arrested near the school for the pants incident and for being wanted on an unrelated warrant from Kelowna. Epp said the man is known to police and was being held in custody pending an investigation.
Three more years for chronic thief A prolific offender caught on video breaking into buildings at rural property where ATVs and guns were stolen will serve an additional three years in jail, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled. Jason Aran Martin was found guilty after trial of break and enter with intent. B.C. Supreme Justice Sheri Donegan found Martin travelled to Kamloops in August last year, “mere hours” after being given a conditional sentence in the Lower Mainland for another crime. Wearing gloves and using a pry bar, he broke open the front gate of a rural property owned by a senior couple. Together with others, Martin then broke into buildings on the property. A TV, two guns and ammunition along with a gun case and ATVs were taken. “The trailer, which has been described as their [victims’] sanctuary, their getaway on this rural

property, was, for lack of a better term, trashed,” Donegan wrote. Martin was identified by police from video taken by a security camera on a storage container. He took police to the location and conceded he was pictured in the video, but did not admit involvement in the crime. Donegan noted steps Martin took while in jail, including obtaining his Grade 12 diploma, as well as receiving counselling. The same day Martin was sentenced for break and enter, he was also sentenced in provincial court for breach of a conditional sentence order. That conditional sentence was terminated by a provincial court judge and he was sent to jail for 13 months. The three-year term for break and enter with intent will be served after the 13-month sentence.

exhibiting stalking behaviour with one of the doctors who was ordered to examine him. “He’s not a manageable risk in the community,” Fras said. Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame indicated in court she is not convinced Kisun should be found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder. “From what I have seen and what I have read, it seems to me like you know exactly what you are doing,” she told Kisun, calling his crimes “deliberate, excessive and frightening.” Ultimately, the decision about whether Kisun is sentenced criminally or found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder is up to Frame. Kisun is due back in court this morning for a bail hearing. At that time, lawyers will set a date for his NCRMD hearing.

A Vancouver stalker displaying “deliberate, excessive and frightening” behaviour remains in a Kamloops jail cell after allegedly trying to contact his victim last week — on the morning he was due to be sentenced. Bob Kisun pleaded guilty in March to criminal harassment. The 39-year-old was charged in 2014 after sending four alarming letters to a former acquaintance who lives in Kamloops. The Crown had Kisun tested by doctors to determine whether he should be found not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder (NCRMD) The tests have been completed and Kisun was to have been sentenced on Oct. 22. He took a bus from Vancouver to Kamloops, arriving early on the morning of Oct. 22. Court heard he slept briefly outside the courthouse before walking to nearby Royal Inland Hospital — his victim’s workplace — and leaving a note, asking her to call him. A warrant was issued and Kisun was arrested and brought to court. Crown prosecutor Monica Fras said Kisun has recently been

healthy and growing. “There are so many complications and so many worries and yet, every appointment we’ve heard nothing but good news, so my plan is to just try and stay calm and each day they grow a little bit more,” Meeuwsen said. Doctors had hoped the triplets would continue to grow in their mother’s womb until a planned C-section on Nov. 16, when they will be at 34 weeks gestation, but decided to send her to Royal Inland Hospital on Sunday, Oct. 25, where she is on bed rest until the babies are born. A normal singleton pregnancy is 40 weeks in duration.When Mahalia and Mike were married in 2005, they both wanted to become parents. In 2011, they visited a fertility clinic in Kelowna, hoping to pinpoint the cause of the infertility. “They really found nothing,” Meeuwsen said. “It was simply termed unexplained infertility. We looked at options like in-vitro,
but we decided not to go that route.” A month later, Meeuwsen found herself pregnant, but at an ultrasound a month later, there was no heartbeat. “That was devastating to us but, at that point, we just decided we were not going to be parents and were going to love our furry kids, our English bulldog, and that would be that.” However, in April, Meeuwsen was experiencing some unusual symptoms she chalked up to early menopause — until she got a call from her doctor informing her she was pregnant. “I thought I was too old, so it was pretty shocking.” The shock increased when an ultrasound revealed what medical staff thought was twins. Two weeks later, the shock multiplied. “I had another ultrasound and the tech goes, ‘There’s a heartbeat here and here

50-MILLION-TO-ONE MIRACLE and here.’ And I thought he was joking,” Meeuwsen said. “But, he showed me — and there they all were. I was dizzy.” When they brought her husband in for the news, they propped him up between the bed and the wall. “They figured he’d need something to lean on,” Meeuwsen said with a laugh. Meeuwsen is being closely monitored, having gone through extensive testing on the triplets at BC Women’s Hospital, through her obstetrician in Kamloops and with Dr. Kim Grieve, her family physician. Already looking like she is full-term, Meeuwsen rubs her belly as she feels the babies move and wonders just how big it can get. “It’s uncomfortable and I’m really slowing down now, but I know every day they are in there growing is a good day,” she said. “We are so excited and we know we are going to be so busy, but it’s hard to wrap
your mind around it,” Meeuwsen said as she sat on the couch in the couple’s townhouse, waving her hand at the recently purchased $1,500 triplet stroller. “Just look at that stroller. It’s like a train.” With few family members close by, it’s going to be a heavy load for the couple, especially through the haze of feeding, bathing, diapering and caring for three infants. She will tell them apart by putting a different colour nail polish on their toes. As a first-time mom, Meeuwsen is trying to get a handle on just how much gear three pre-term newborns are going to require. While the couple has a stroller, three baby seats and two swings, they would appreciate help with supplies, including diapers, wipes, bottles, receiving blankets or clothing. Another daunting prospect is the knowledge her babies will all have extended stays in the neonatal intensive care unit, hopefully in Kamloops.

But, that also comes with significant costs. In order to be close, nurse and care for the babies, the new parents will need to stay near the hospital; however, there are no options other than hotels. This will involve a major outlay of funds, as doctors have told them to expect that one or more of the babies would likely be in the hospital until close to Christmas. To help, Meeuwsen’s employer, CIBC, is setting up a donation station in the bank’s Salmon Arm branch, where people can drop off supplies, gift cards or donations. As well, a GoFund Me account has been set up under the name Mahalia and Mike’s 3 Miracles. This is the link: https://www.gofundme. com/j56q2jfg. “I’m not really a person who likes to ask for help but, with three babies on the way, people keep telling me I need to throw that out the window,” she said.

Elaine Moon has some advice for Mahalia Meeuwsen — accept all help, sleep when you can and enjoy the ride. Moon knows of which she speaks: In 1984, Elaine and husband John, already parents to 19-month-old daughter Kelly, welcomed Jessica, Megan and Leslie, identical triplets, into their Barnhartvale home. They were prepared for twins and had purchased double everything they knew they would need. But, just a few weeks before the delivery date, their doctor called them. “He said, ‘OK, are you standing up?’,” Elaine recalled. The doctor advised them he had good news and bad news. “The good news is the babies are all OK,” the doctor said. “The bad news is there’s another baby in there.” Their reaction? “We just laughed,” John said. “We thought we had it all figured out. We didn’t have an answer to that one, but we knew we had to get another crib.” Living in Barnhartvale, the Moons soon found they had plenty of help. Neighbours would bring them food or other things they thought the newly

Even their birth had a special moment when Dr. Randy Patch came in to help with delivery of the first girl, who was in a breach position. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know he was a doctor, too,â&#x20AC;? Elaine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was wondering why the dentist was there to deliver my babies.â&#x20AC;? Patch later told the pair he had just days before taken a course on delivering a baby in a breach position, with the baby arriving either feet- or seat-first. The tripletsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first weeks were in the neonatal intensive care. Once they hit five pounds, they were able to go home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He learned to change diapers in a hurry,â&#x20AC;?

A family member bought three single strollers and welded them together so the babies could be taken out of the house, a practical solution that brought with it its own challenges. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had to sort of tip them to get them through doors,â&#x20AC;? Elaine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The things we had to do just to go outside.â&#x20AC;? A trip to the B.C. Wildlife Park led to the triplets becoming â&#x20AC;&#x153;more of an attraction than the park,â&#x20AC;? Elaine said, another reality the Meeuwsens of Salmon Arm will have to learn to accept. The only downside â&#x20AC;&#x201D; beyond weeks and weeks of chicken pox as one sibling would infect the next â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was in Kellyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new reality. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up until then, she got all of our attention,â&#x20AC;? Elaine said. Jessica hit five pounds first and came home, followed by the other two sisters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think Kelly wondered what we had done to her. It was hard sometimes,â&#x20AC;? Elaine said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember she had this doll house and, one day, the girls just went for it. She had to make a lot of adjustments.â&#x20AC;? The four sisters are close, although John said he noticed they were always competitive, â&#x20AC;&#x153;even in the uterus.â&#x20AC;? All became athletes through school; today, Jessica is a lawyer, Megan and Leslie work in accounting and big sister Kelly works at the B.C. Lottery Corporation. Megan is the only one not in Kamloops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to get her back, but she loves her job too much,â&#x20AC;? Elaine said. Despite the inevitable matching PJs they received as gifts, Elaine and John worked hard to not dress the triplets alike, to let them have their own identities. The biggest lesson they learned was to just accept that they needed help and, when it was offered, say yes. The other lesson was to also accept life would be challenging, busy â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and wonderful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We went to a triplet party when the girls were two,â&#x20AC;? John recalled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was another guy there, they had just had triplets and also had one 18 or 19 months, much like we did. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He said he was so happy, that this is just wonderful. I thought â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Yes, but wow, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in for.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Power-play problems ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
he Kamloops Storm’s power play is struggling, to the point Ed Patterson took to calling it “the power kill” earlier this week. Jokes aside, the head coach isn’t worried. His team is still getting chances with the extra man and, irrespective of this weekend, the wins have continued to come. “It’s just a matter of boys grasping concepts, of moving the puck quickly, finding open ice — a whole number of things,” Patterson said. “But, the skill set is there to work with and the eagerness of the boys to become smarter hockey players is there. “We just have to be patient.” The Storm have certainly had their chances. They’re amongst the league’s top 10 in power-play opportunities, having played with the manadvantage 82 times through their first 16 games, but have scored just seven goals. In last weekend’s finale against the 100 Mile House Wranglers, among the league’s most-penalized clubs, the Storm were 0-for-7 with the extra skater. Only the Golden Rockets and the Summerland Steam have scored as few times on the power play — both clubs also have seven goals — but Golden has yet to win a game this season and Summerland is a middling team in the KIJHL’s Okanagan Division. Among the league’s divisional leaders, of which the Storm are one, Kamloops stands alone. The team is last

in the league in power-play efficiency, converting at a rate of 8.54 per cent. The other divisional leaders — the Kimberley Dynamiters (22.89 per cent), Osoyoos Coyotes (21.33 per cent) and Beaver Valley Nitehawks (20.99 per cent) — are all amongst the top third in extra-man scoring. Still, Patterson is more concerned with making sure his team is playing the right way. The power play will come. “We’ll work on it tomorrow, but that’s a baby step thing for us,” he said. “The habits and the structure are the big things. “I still think even though our number is bad, success is there in how much we have developed in a short amount of time.” Kamloops’ opponents certainly seem to have the advan-

tage coming into McArthur Island this weekend. The Storm will face the Fernie Ghostriders on Friday night and the Creston Valley Thunder Cats on Saturday, the league’s two best at scoring with their opponent in the sin bin. The Thunder Cats are the class of the KIJHL, scoring at 26.56 per cent, while the Ghostriders aren’t far behind at 24.69 and a league-best 20 power-play goals. Both games start at 7 p.m. “It’s a tough one,” said Tre Sales, when asked what’s holding the power play back. The forward leads the Storm in power-play goals and is tied for the team lead in shorthanded markers with two of each. “It just hasn’t been clicking. We’ve got to move the puck faster, get out into the open areas. It’ll come though.” If there’s any saving grace for the Storm, it has been their penalty killing, which has surrendered just eight goals in 76 opportunities this season (89.47 per cent) and has managed to score a league-best five shorthanded goals. Both Creston Valley and Fernie are also amongst the league’s top five in penalty killing, so this might not be the weekend the Storm turns the power play around. But, Patterson is confident the man advantage won’t be a problem by the end of the season. “The power play is coming,” he said. “It’s not like we haven’t had chances, it’s just a couple guys are squeezing the stick too hard. “It’s a whole bunch of little things that when they’re all fixed — they’re all fixable — it will be fantastic.”

Diminutive Kamloops Blazers’ forward Jesse Zaharichuk is aiming to continue his hot start to the WHL campaign.
Overcoming odds MARTY HASTINGS

Jesse Zaharichuk knows size is not his strength. “Sometimes, I’m outweighed by 30 or 40 pounds, so I have to use my skill and quickness and come out of the corner and make plays,” said Zaharichuk, the 18-year-old Kamloops Blazers’ forward from Sherwood Park, Alta. “As for putting on weight and getting stronger, I’m always working on it.” In fact, Zaharichuk, who is fivefoot-eight and listed at 155 pounds, worked hard in the off-season to beef up, only to get sick before the WHL campaign and slim down. The illness did not seem to slow him and Zaharichuk, now 151 pounds, is second in team scoring with 10 points, three of them goals. Zaharichuk was not drafted into the WHL and earned a tryout with the Blazers after recording 14 points in 48 regular-season games with the Drumheller Dragons of the Alberta Junior Hockey League in 2013-2014. He impressed enough at training camp in Kamloops in 2014 to earn a WHL contract and last season registered three goals and 12 points in 48

games with the Blazers. “Coming into my second year, I’m a lot more confident and I’ve been able to adjust to the speed of the game,” he said. “I’ve been in the top-nine and top-six forwards and getting more power-play time.” Zaharichuk started the season playing on a line with Jake Kryski and Garrett Pilon, both 17, but has since been moved around on a game-togame basis, along with the rest of the Blazers’ forwards. “It’s been all over the place,” Zaharichuk said of the line juggling. “I like playing with Jake. He’s a skilled guy and he moves the puck well.” The Blazers and Prince George Cougars squared off at Sandman Centre last night after KTW’s press deadline. For a game recap, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Kamloops, endeavouring to recover from the worst start in franchise history (0-6), had won two of its last three games heading into yesterday’s B.C. Division showdown. “We’re on the right path here the past couple games,” Zaharichuk said. “We’re heading in the right direction.”

Fast Eddy to visit schools MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER

Edward (Fast Eddy) Dostaler is back in town to pick up a car and raise awareness for breast-cancer and Alzheimer’s research. “This break is about picking up a vehicle and going to schools along the way,” said Dostaler, whose run across Canada and back has been put on hold. “We’re sending out mass emails to schools.” Dostaler planned to do the run solo and unsupported, but decided he will be able to raise more awareness for the causes if he is accompanied by a vehicle and driver. He temporarily abandoned the run last week, halting his progress in Gander, N.L., and flew home to the Tournament
Capital on Friday. In August, Dostaler told KTW he was running out of money and the return trip might not be possible, but made it clear yesterday the hiatus in Kamloops is not about raising cash for himself. He plans to drive back to Gander, then continue the journey home to B.C. on foot. The vehicle will enable Dostaler to visit more schools and participate in more media events as he heads back east and on his westward return trip, he said. Since touching down in the River City, Dostaler has been in contact with elementary and high schools across Kamloops and surrounding areas, aiming to plan educational visits. Email FastEddyCanada@ gmail.com to contact Dostaler.
Blue Wave roll The Westsyde Blue Wave are one step closer to clinching the second and final Interior playoff berth with a 21-12 win over the South Kamloops Titans in B.C. High School Football junior varsity play on Tuesday. Talen St. Jean carried the load for the Blue Wave, rushing for 270 yards on 25 carries. He scored two touchdowns. Carsen Day was 7-for-17 through the air for 148 yards and threw two touchdown passes, one to St. Jean and one to Travis Wrable. Julian Ferrigan had eight tackles and four sacks and Connor McCoy had two interceptions on defence for the Blue Wave. Reid Jansen had a receiving touchdown for the Titans, while quarterback Brody Israel, playing through a rib injury, scrambled in for the second. Running back Tak Cox had a kickoff return TD called back late in the fourth quarter. Taylor Baril, Jordan Devries and Cam LeDressay were defensive standouts for the Titans. South Kam, which has been eliminated from playoff contention, will finish its season on the road against the Vernon Panthers on Nov. 4.

One last lap for American Pharoah BETH HARRIS
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LEXINGTON, Ky. — In a few days, there will be a vacant stall in Bob Baffert’s barn and an empty space in the hearts of the trainer and the owner of American Pharoah. The three-year-old colt bids farewell to racing in the Breeders’ Cup Classic this weekend, ending a memorable journey that included winning the sport’s first Triple Crown in 37 years. No longer will Baffert’s wife, Jill, and owner Ahmed Zayat be checking their smartphones in the wee hours of the morning to see what’s going on via the camera in American Pharoah’s stall. No need to stash his favourite snack of peeled baby carrots in their pockets anymore. Their gushing, endless discussions about every little shake of the colt’s head or whinny or even him peeing will be just memories. Baffert will head back to California and try to develop a new 2-year-old colt into the next Kentucky Derby winner. Zayat will return to New Jersey and scan the sales catalogue to buy or breed his next American Pharoah. Except both know there may never be another one like the bay colt who took them on the ride of their lives. “For us, it’s a horse of a lifetime, once in a lifetime,’’ Zayat said. “The thing I’m most proud of is he excited all of us, all of his fans, the sport. Forever I’ll be indebted for how he changed all our lives hopefully for the better.’’ Baffert said, “I feel fortunate that I’m the one that had him.’’
American Pharoah will take to the track for the final time on Saturday at the Breeders’ Cup Classic in Kentucky.
They still have American Pharoah for one more race. He is the early 4-5 favourite Saturday for the $5 million Classic, North America’s richest race. He’s won 8 of 10 career races and earned more than $5.9 million. As the sport’s 12th Triple Crown champion, his breeding rights will fetch still undetermined big bucks. Before American Pharoah boards a van headed for his future home at Coolmore Stud in nearby Versailles, Baffert will saddle him and give jockey Victor Espinoza a leg up one last time. Baffert watched the colt’s 5 1/2-length victory in the Belmont
Stakes that clinched the Triple Crown as a fan. This time, the feeling will be different when he looks on from the stands at bucolic Keeneland. “I watch this like I’m his father,’’ Baffert said. “I send my kid out there and I want him to do well. I don’t want him to drop the pass in the end zone. I’ll be nervous.’’ Ever a bundle of nerves, enthusiasm and lots of words, the Egyptian-born Zayat wanted to win the Kentucky Derby for himself and his family. He wanted to win the Triple Crown for the fans and to give a boost to a flagging industry. He wants to be in the
winner’s circle again, this time for the horse. “I want him to win an unbelievable race for Pharoah,’’ he said, “to go out in a way that we always remember him as a brilliant, kind horse.’’ As much as an 1,195-pound horse can be a family pet, American Pharoah fills the bill. Thoroughbreds by nature are high-strung and often ornery. Not this guy. His easy-going temperament has allowed Baffert to open his barn to friends and strangers alike, with kids proffering carrots and American Pharoah patiently posing for photographs. “You’ve seen the best of
people,’’ Zayat said. “Everybody shared the love for the horse.’’ His human handlers have gathered for one last go-round. Baffert’s wife and young son, Bode, along with the Zayat family will join Baffert’s barn staff, including assistant Jimmy Barnes, the colt’s exercise rider, groom and hotwalker to watch him run like the wind again. “It’s sad because it’s not going to be ours anymore,’’ Baffert said. “I always joke that we’re going to need group therapy.’’ Zayat is so reluctant to say goodbye that he hasn’t made plans for his flight home yet. “I said let’s not talk about it until we have to,’’ he said. “We’re going to soak it, enjoy it, bottle it.’’ American Pharoah is coming off his only loss this year to Keen Ice in the Travers two months ago. He faces a formidable field in the Classic, including Keen Ice, stellar mare Beholder who owns a six-race winning streak and 2014 Belmont winner Tonalist. Zayat can’t fathom that the champ might end his career with a two-race skid. “I want American Pharoah to do what he does best, which is to win and win with command,’’ he said. Baffert’s ideal scenario for the 1 1/4-mile Classic is simple: let American Pharoah be in good enough position when the 10-horse field turns for home to give his fans something to root for. “It takes a brilliant, special horse to stand up in the Classic,’’ he said. “This should be pay-perview.’’
Daily fantasy industry has powerful partners TIM DAHLBERG
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Rob Manfred has read the law and delivered his verdict. The commissioner of baseball says online daily fantasy play is a game of skill, not chance. He declared it legal this week, even though a few states explicitly ban it as gambling and others may move to do the same. No great shock there, since Major League Baseball has a stake in DraftKings, the biggest player in the daily fantasy industry. There’s money to be made in the industry, and Manfred signalled on the eve of the World Series that baseball will go after its share. “I’m quite convinced it is a game of skill, as defined by the federal statute,’’ Manfred said. “And I’m comfortable with the idea that it’s not gaming.’’ No matter that the former congressman who authored the 2006 federal law Manfred is referring to says daily fantasy is indeed gambling. Former Rep. Jim Leach told The Associated Press earlier this month that the intent of the law was to stop online gam-
bling, not turn it into “today’s cauldron of daily betting.’’ That, though, is precisely what daily fantasy has become, on a scale rivaling the best sports books in Las Vegas. It lures players in with promises of big payouts, but to the average player that is mostly a fantasy by itself. Those incessant ads you see on TV air for a reason. The playing field is so tilted against the small players that new customers must constantly be found to replace those who reach their credit card limits or just tire of constantly losing their money. Add in the threat of insider trading, no outside regulation and no guarantee that anyone’s money is safe and it’s the kind of potential cesspool the major sports would be wise to think twice about before jumping in. But jump baseball has — and the sport is not alone. The NBA has a piece of FanDuel, the NHL has an investment in DraftKings and some NFL teams have their own deals with the two major sites. Indeed, it’s hard to watch a game or go to a game and not be reminded in some way about the cozy relationships between the major sports and the fantasy sites.
The tie-ins haven’t just bolstered the bank accounts of FanDuel and DraftKings, but given them some powerful friends when it comes to the debate over the legality of their contests. Make no mistake, that debate isn’t over. Earlier this month, Nevada became the latest state to ban unlicensed daily fantasy play and other states are taking second looks at their laws in the wake of the explosion of betting. The NCAA says it won’t allow FanDuel and DraftKings to advertise during NCAA tournaments and has asked them to stop using college players in their games. Meanwhile, the biggest online poker company in the world pulled its fledgling fantasy site from all but four states where the law is clear on the legality of the industry. Amaya Inc., a Canadian company which operates PokerStars as well as the StarsDraft fantasy site, said it would wait for the industry to be regulated before re-entering the market in those states. The fantasy industry this week said it would begin regulating itself, appointing former acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Seth Harris to head what it said would be an independent agency to create a “strict,
transparent and effective system of selfregulation’’ for the online gambling sites. Up until now the Fantasy Sports Trade Association had been using a charter for daily sites to follow. The charter cautions sites not to market their games as fantasy sports gambling or fantasy betting, advising them to use terms like “entry fees, prizes and commissions’’ instead of gambling terms like bets, wagers or vig. Whatever it’s called, this isn’t your father’s season-long fantasy league with friends. There are millions of dollars at stake every weekend, with the entry fee for some contests higher than any bets a Vegas sports book would accept on any given NFL Sunday. The insider trading scandal that erupted earlier this month has put a spotlight on an industry not understood by most. There could be some rough times ahead for the sites as states begin making their own decisions on their legality and there’s no guarantee the daily fantasy industry will come through it all intact. For now, though, DraftKings and FanDuel can find comfort that MLB and the other leagues have their back.

Mom loved her garden and the fruit from the many trees in it. She was renowned for her cooking and no one ever left hungry! She also loved hiking and camping in the mountains, and trips to the wilder parts of Canada, such as the Queen Charlottes, Yukon and NWT, and canoeing the Bowron Lakes.

MRS. PATRICIA (PAT) LORRAINE HOWIE (nee ALEXANDER) Mrs. Patricia (Pat) Lorraine Howie (nee Alexander) died in Kamloops at the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice House on October 18th, 2015 at the age of 61 years. She is survived and sadly missed by her loving husband James (Jim) Howie and her two sons Charles and Mathew. She leaves a sister Janet Graham (husband Rob) of London, Ontario and niece Holly. She leaves a very dear cousin Marilyn, and her daughter Nicky of Georgia, USA. She leaves her cousin David and wife Kate of Norwich, England. She will also be missed by numerous friends she has made throughout the years. She is predeceased by her father Thomas Alexander and her mother Marjorie Alexander. Pat was born and brought up in London and Byron, Ontario where she attended school and completed High School. She still is friends with childhood playmates from her days in Byron and her very special friend the Reverend George Morris her minister when she was growing up. She attended Nursing School at the St. Thomas Hospital and there she met another lifelong friend Sharon Sevilla whom she felt was like a sister to her. Finishing Nursing School, Pat became adventurous and applied for work with the United Church Hospital system and moved to Hazelton, BC in 1975, where she began a career working in different hospitals throughout the northern part of BC. In 1977 she went back to obtain her BSN from the University of Victoria and there met another of her friends, Bonnie Low. She returned to the United Church hospitals in 1979 working in Hazelton, Bella Coola and Bella Bella. While she was working in Hazelton, she met Jim who was doing an elective rotation of his medical school training.
JEANNE F. PALMER
Over the ensuing two years a long distance relationship with Jim developed with her working in northern BC and then going to work for the Grenfell Mission in Labrador and then to Edmonton and Calgary to work. While both were working in Calgary, Jim and Pat were married in 1982. After Jim finished his medical training in Calgary, they moved to Kamloops in 1983, where Pat worked at Royal Inland Hospital. Charles was born in 1984 and Mathew was born in 1986. Pat worked part time after the children were born in different parts of the Health system up to about 1997, when her adventurous spirit showed again. She went to train as a Nurse Practitioner and over the next years worked in Outposts throughout Northern BC, Yukon and the North West Territories until her health made her stop in 2005. Since she stopped working, she devoted her time to helping others and becoming more involved in her Church. Her last 5 years were trying and difficult for her and it was only in the past three months that she could not stay active and was hospitalized and eventually was in the Hospice. Pat’s three boys as she called them, want to thank her friend Marilyn Kennedy and Stella and the other ladies of Summit Baptist Church for all the fantastic support given to Pat and the family through the last three months in Hospital and Hospice. A big thank you to all the staff at Marjorie Willoughby for all the help to us and for Pat through a very difficult time and thanks to Jim’s past medical practice partner and friend and physician to Pat, Stan Fike. A Celebration of Life will be held on October 31st, 2015 at 1:00 pm at Summit Baptist Church with Pastor Harry Bicknell officiating. Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House or to the Foster Plan of Canada or any other charity in Pat’s name.

NATIONAL SPORTS
Jim Brown to be reunited with 1964 NFL title ring LARRY NEUMEISTER
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Cleveland Browns Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown and his championship ring will be reunited nearly half a century after it was stolen from his home. “I feel great,’’ Brown said yesterday as he left Manhattan federal court after settling a lawsuit he brought against a memorabilia dealer.
Except for the return of the ring, terms of the deal were not disclosed. The dealer ended up with the ring decades after someone stole it from Brown’s Cleveland home in 1966, just months after he received it for his role in helping the Browns win the 1964 NFL Championship Game, the predecessor to today’s Super Bowl. The championship — the last for any major Cleveland sports franchise — came in a season in
which Brown rushed for 1,446 yards and scored seven touchdowns. Brown said he plans to give the ring to one of his children, perhaps for Christmas. “Symbolically, I don’t keep a lot of trophies. But, that ring was special,’’ Brown told several reporters as he waited for his turn to meet with Magistrate Judge Ronald L. Ellis earlier in the day. “It wasn’t me the star. It was
all of us.’’ He added: “It’s representative of excellence because it’s representative of team effort.’’ The 79-year-old Brown, who walks with a cane, chuckled frequently while answering questions about the dispute, his football years and The Dirty Dozen, a 1967 film in which Brown played one of 12 men serving long sentences or life in prison who were offered a shot at freedom if they could perform heroically in a
Second World War secret mission. He said he had no regrets about retiring at age 29 in 1965 after compiling 12,312 yards and scoring 106 touchdowns over nine seasons, especially after seeing boxer Joe Louis struggle through the end of his career. “You remember how they finish,’’ Brown said of athletes. “A lot of players don’t finish too well. A little pity sets in. I never wanted to be pitied.’’

GRAPE EXPECTATIONS FOR LOCAL VINTNER
G
lenn Reid’s introduction to winemaking will be familiar to many. It was about 20 years ago and Reid, a geological engineer, was enticed to join a couple of buddies in buying all the equipment needed to produce some reds and whites. “It started with a package of the juice,” Reid said. “And, when it was done, my friends asked me what I thought about it and I said, ‘It was good, but it didn’t last.’ “We did it a second year and they asked me again and I said, ‘It was good, but it didn’t last.’” Now, he has wine that lasts, having devoted part of his yard to grape-growing and making regular trips to vineyards in the Okanagan to buy the real thing, rather than the premixed juice. There are carboys on the ping-pong table, casks in his wine cellar, empty bottles on the kitchen table — winemakers reuse their bottles — and a couple of walls lined with compartments in which bottled wines sit, waiting to be opened and enjoyed. On this visit, my food and wine buddy Wenda Noonan is again accompanying me and has brought a bag of homemade
DALE BASS
What
WE ATE buns to add to the impromptu meal of cheese, olive oil, a lovely nutty spice mixture and, of course, wine. We start with a sip or two of a bubbly, a wine that can be a challenge to make at home, but one Reid has learned to make through some innovative equipment and tips from longtime vintners. He declines to share the secret but, whatever it is, it is crisp and dry — it works. Out comes the olive oil, a lovely light product Reid’s been bringing in from Australia, one that is light and delicious. He’s hoping he can find an outlet to sell the oil. I wasn’t as fond of the nutty mixture as Wenda; I’m a bit of a traditionalist with bread and oil — there must be balsamic vinegar. Wenda, however, gave it a thumbs-up. We sampled a few more wines: a fullbodied solera-styled port, a lovely meunierdornfelder-foch-pinot noir blend and a fruity rhone varietal that brought together a
DALE BASS/KTW
mourvedre and agrenache that sat in an oak cask for a year. Definitely my favourite of the tastings. Reid, formerly head of the board of directors for the B.C. Interior Community Foundation (BCICF), said he gives a lot of his wine away for charity events. His vintages have been on silentauction tables for the
BCICF, for example, as has been the chance to have a private wine sampling — there’s a wooden table built under his work area in the wine cellar, one that pulls out to become the tasting centre. There’s even a grated area in the floor where spills can be washed away. As Reid puts it about sharing his
wines with non-profits, “I’m a pretty soft touch.” He doesn’t have a favourite wine; Reid said it is “whatever I decide that night. Sometimes you feel like a red or a white.” And, sometimes, he’s in the mood not for a Reid vintage, but another wine he may have bought on a trip. A member of the Kamloops Winemakers
Association, he said the group has expanded its focus from just making wines to getting together and discussing wine and food pairings, as well as tips on bottling a perfect vintage. More information on the association is available online at members.shaw.ca/ kamloopswinemakers/ index.html. • Privato winery in Westsyde entered three of its wines in a competition that encompasses Washington, Oregon and B.C., winning for its 2013 chardonnay, 2012 pinot noir and 2013 Silvio’s chardonnay.

Trudeau preparing for pot politics KRISTY KIRKUP
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — As Justin Trudeau prepares to tackle the politics of legalizing pot as part of his Liberal government’s legislative agenda, industry experts say he will have access to a world-class marijuana framework set up under the Conservative government. Chuck Rifici, co-founder of Canada’s first publicly traded marijuana manufacturer, says a renowned production and distribution system has already been established under the medicinal umbrella. Rifici — also a volunteer chief financial officer for the Liberal party’s national board of directors — credits Stephen Harper for the country’s expansive marijuana infrastructure. “I’m sure it’s not something he would like to have on his resume, but I think only a Conservative government could have created MMPR (Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations),’’ he said. “I think if another government had been in power the Conservative base would have been up in arms. “Obviously the courts have forced them along the way, but
they’ve put in a very robust . . . system.’’ In 2013, the Conservative government announced Health Canada would no longer produce pot for patients — a decision that sparked the creation of commercial industry for medical marijuana. Trudeau’s Liberals have promised to legalize and regulate the recreational use of marijuana. “Canada’s current system of marijuana prohibition does not work,’’ the Liberal election platform said. “We will remove marijuana consumption and incidental possession from the Criminal Code and create new, stronger laws to punish more severely those who provide it to minors, those who operate a motor vehicle while under its influence and those who sell it outside of the new regulatory framework.’’ The first step in the path to legalization will be to establish a provincial, territorial and federal task force to hear from public health, substance abuse and public safety experts. Donald MacPherson, the director of the Canadian Drug Policy Coalition, said Canada is wellpositioned to tackle this issue. There has been a vigorous
discussion underway in the academic and public health community for the last decade because many believed legalization was inevitable, he added. MacPherson says he would like to see the Liberal government move forward on this undertaking early in its four year term — though “that doesn’t mean rushing it.’’ He also says it is important to fund research to monitor and evaluate the regulatory system once it is up and running. “I think that’s essential,’’ he said. “This is new territory with an old substance so it is not going to be earth shattering. Brian Vicente, a Coloradobased lawyer heavily involved in the U.S. campaign to bring cannabis into a regulated market system, has been watching Canadian developments closely. “I think it is a landmark change for Canada and I think they’re on the cutting edge of what will be essentially an international movement,’’ he said. The Canadian task force is expected to mirror what was done in Colorado. Recreational marijuana is now legal in five American jurisdictions: Colorado, Alaska, Oregon, Washington and Washington, D.C.

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley is shutting down suggestions her spend-heavy budget may ultimately trigger a sales tax to pay for it all. Notley told the house during question period yesterday that no sales tax or harmonized tax will be created on her watch. “That budget nor any other budget in the term of this government will not and does not include a PST,’’ said Notley. The budget presented by Finance Minister Joe Ceci uses low interest rates and a downturn in the economy to ramp up construction and refurbishment of roads, schools and hospitals. It projects $34 billion in capital spending over the next five years and $47 billion in total debt by 2020. The government intends to keep hiring to a minimum, but doesn’t plan to drastically reduce staffing levels in key areas such as health and education. The result is a budget that forecasts multibilliondollar deficits for the next four years, including $6.1 billion in the current fiscal year, ending March 31. Wildrose Leader Brian Jean told Notley the borrowing could trigger a cut in the province’s AAA credit rating, leading to higher interest rates and even more red ink. “This budget has too much debt and no plan to pay it back,’’ Jean told the house. “Why is the premier risking the future well-being of Albertans with this budget?’’ Notley noted the government will pass a bill this session to head off downgrades by limiting debt to 15 per cent of the province’s nominal gross domes-
tic product. She said the current ratio is about six per cent of GDP. She said her job is to find the best long-term plan and stick with it rather than simply hacking and slashing when prices fall in Alberta’s wellspring oil economy. “This budget is investing in the future well-being of Albertans,’’ said Notley. “The drop in the price of a barrel of oil should not be something that every teacher looks at every morning to find out if they have a job that day.’’ Jean and other opposition leaders have criticized Notley for borrowing not just for capital projects but also to pay for day-to-day programs and salaries. Notley, who was in Calgary yesterday morning to announce the province will go ahead with a new cancer-care centre there, told reporters that not doing so would require deep and devastating cuts in public services. “The only way that any government could plan to not have to borrow for operations for a couple of years would have been to make absolutely unprecedented cuts to our teachers, to our nurses, to our hospitals, to the very services that promote the resilience of our communities,’’ she said. The government anticipates borrowing $712 million next year to pay for operating expenses and $3.1 billion the year after that. Alberta has not borrowed to pay the everyday bills in two decades. In recent years, Progressive Conservative governments drew down on the province’s multibillion-dollar contingency fund to cover off deficits. That will no longer be an option come next year as the government plans to use up the money left in the fund.

rave has been the task of re-hashing Digging a Hole at every show they’ve played since 1996, but lead man Gordie Johnson is not in the business of shovelling forth tired old tunes, so Big Sugar manages to keep it fresh. “Unless we put something of ourselves today into it, it’s pointless and joyless,” said Johnson, whose band rolls through Kamloops on its crossCanada tour on Nov. 5. “We’re playing some new material and we’re twisting up a lot of old material that we haven’t done in a long time.” So, yes, fans at the Coast Kamloops theatre

you want to bring something full of vitality.” Tickets, $40 in advance or $50 at the door, are available online at kamtix.ca. Showtime is 8 p.m. Big Sugar will meander through tracks old and new, with an emphasis on introducing fans to songs from their latest offering, Calling All The Youth, which was released this year. “I would say that it’s a little heavier than the last studio record [Yardstyle], which was almost more of a soul record,” said Johnson, an acclaimed mixer, producer and session musician. “This one has more of the raging, loud guitar that people remember.” Accompanying Big Sugar on their nationwide trek is Triggerfinger, a Belgian rock band that has experienced success in Europe. “They were Big Sugar fans and we’re mutually interested in each other’s music,” Johnson said. “We met face to face and realized we had a kinship and brotherhood. “They brought us to Europe twice last year, so we’re returning the favour.”

CLASS ACT THEATRE DEBUTS WITH QUEEN OF BINGO Sis and Babe are sisters with the same passion — bingo. Beyond that, the two of them are polar opposites. Sis is a good loser; Babe must win. Sis is fit; Babe is overweight. Sis is a widow not looking for love; Babe is looking everywhere for it. Their story is the plot of The Queen of Bingo, which kicks off the season for the Class Act Theatre Society in Kamloops. Formerly known as the Snowflakes Theatre Society, the group has partnered with the Centre of Seniors Information in the Brock Shopping Centre. Together, they are fundraising to build a theatre and stage there — but, in the meantime, the curtain must still rise. The Queen of Bingo opens on Nov. 13 and continues on Nov. 14, Nov. 20 and Nov. 21 at 7:30 p.m. There are 2 p.m. matinees on Nov. 14 and Nov. 22. The matinees are admission by donation; the evening performances are $12 and those tickets are available at the Kamloops Live box office, 1025 Lorne St., 250-3745483, kamloopslive.ca. Tickets will also be available at the door. Society members suggest people bring along a bingo dauber as there is a turkey prize waiting for someone.
FIDDLE WAY TO THE DANCE The Kamloops Fiddlers will be playing waltzes, fox trots, cowboy two-steps and schottisches — and probably a lot more — at its upcoming dance on Saturday, Nov. 14, at the Yacht Club, 1140 River St. Members can attend for $6; nonmembers pay a loonie more. The music starts at 7:30 p.m. and wraps up at 10 p.m. For more information, call 250-376-2330.

Civic is Canada’s sedan sweetheart JIM ROBINSON
WHEELS CANADA
wheels.ca
H
onda’s 2016 little Civic sedan has a big story to tell about a car that has grown up in many ways. While it is sold as a compact sedan, the U.S. EPA considers it mid-size, based on the combined passenger (2,769 litres) and cargo (428 litres) volume. The 2016 Honda Civic has 2.1 inches more legroom than a BMW 5 Series. Honda claims best in class interior volume and I believe it. It has also grown in sales. Nearly 35-million Civics have sold worldwide since it bowed in 1973 with a 1.2-litre engine. It has also been the best-selling passenger car in Canada for 17 years, with more than 4.5 million produced in Honda’s Alliston production plant, of which nearly 1.9 million have sold in Canada alone. The new Civic is also big news. As the global lead plant, Alliston not only launched Civic production around the world, but it is also responsible for developing the processes and tool-
Nearly 35-million Honda Civics have been sold since its 1973 inception.
ing that will form the manufacturing base at all Honda plants. The future of the new, 10th generation Civic gets even bigger, with the sedan being followed by a coupe, high-performance Si models, a fivedoor hatchback and the first-ever Civic Type-R model for the Canadian market. And big was my first impression just walking up to it. Visually, it looks about the same size as the last generation Accord, but the styling is much more daring. While it is a fourdoor, the sweep back of the roof gives it a coupe-like persona,
resulting in a very short rear deck and giving it a bob-tailed look, accented by the curved forward LED taillights. From the front, especially, the 2016 Honda Civic has a lower looking stance thanks to the hood and roof being 40 millimetres and 20 millimetres lower, respectively. At the same time, the front end is 30 millimetres shorter, while the wheelbase is 30 millimetres greater, leading to the overall sense of greater size. Inside, the love it or hate it two-tier dashboard is gone, replaced by a more contemporary main gauge cluster
and centre stack. Premium and soft touch materials are used throughout. The front-drive Civic is powered by two new engines, starting with a two-litre port injection four-cylinder with 158 h.p. and 138 lb./ft. of torque. The other is a 1.5litre, direct injection turbo four-cylinder with 174 h.p. and 162 lb./ft. The two-litre has a six-speed manual transmission with a CVT available, while the 1.5-litre is CVT only. Fuel rating with the manual is 8.8/5.9/7.5L/100 km, while the CVT is
7.8/5.8/6.9L/100 km. Readers will note, not only do you get more power with the turbo, but better economy, too. The power part my co-driver and I found out during an impromptu zero to 100 km/h test, where the turbo was two seconds faster. More to the point, the two-litre and 1.5litre drove like two very different cars. The former was very comfortable, but the latter felt much more stiffly sprung and more responsive at higher speeds. It turns out Honda rejigged the suspension with grade spe-
cific tuning including shocks, springs, stabilizer bars and bigger wheels, resulting in the marked difference between the two, with Honda claiming best in class handling agility. The one downside was the lack of paddle shifters on the CVT, which results in no engine braking meaning all slowing down is done by the brakes. With the paddle shifters, you can toggle down through the “gears” simulating engine braking. I applaud Honda for making a rearview camera standard and for its wonderful LaneWatch system that has a camera on the
lower part of the right outside mirror. When you flick on the right turn stalk, the camera pops on, showing what is behind you on the right. Not only does it make turning a breeze, but the real benefit is, when passing, you can activate the stalk and you can see who and what is gaining on you — brilliant. There are five basic trim levels starting with the DX at $15,750, which is, well, basic, with steel wheels and manual only, but it does have the rearview camera, power locks, rear disc brakes and keyless entry. Next up is the LX ($18,550) with twolitre and manual (CVT optional, $19,850), but the content improves with cruise control and Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. The other two-litre is the EX (manual, $20,50, CVT, $22,250) with LaneWatch, among other goodies. The turbo shows up on the EX-T, Touring and Si, which top out at $24,000, $25,550 and $26,850, respectively. Civic has been Canada’s sedan sweetheart for 17 years and, looking at 2015 sales-to-date, it seems destined to be number one for the 18th year in a row.

DEVELOPMENT OF A PEST MANAGEMENT PLAN Application #: KMC-ROW IVMP-2015
Applicant: Kinder Morgan Canada (KMC), 7815 Shellmont Street, Burnaby BC V5A 4S9. Cheryl Thesen (403-358-2509) In accordance with the British Columbia’s Pest Management Act and Regulations, KMC is required to develop a Pest Management Plan (PMP) (for KMC the PMP is referred to as the Integrated Vegetation Management Plan (IVMP)). The PMP manages problem vegetation, including control of noxious weeds and invasive plants within KMC’s rights-of-way and access roads to its pipeline systems and facilities. In British Columbia, KMC operates the Trans Mountain Pipeline transporting crude oil and refined petroleum products and the Jet Fuel Pipeline transporting aviation fuel. The pipelines are located below ground and in proximity to the following communities in British Columbia: Valemount, Albreda, Blue River, Avola, Vavenby, Clearwater, Little Fort, Darfield, McLure, Heffley Creek, Kamloops, Merritt, Kingsvale, Hope, Chilliwack, Abbotsford, Sumas, Langley, Surrey, Coquitlam, Burnaby, Vancouver and Richmond. This PMP has been prepared to replace the existing 5 year PMP which expires in 2016. The proposed duration of the IVMP (PMP) is from March 31, 2016 to March 31, 2021. The vegetation management and weed control methods proposed for use include hand cutting and pulling, mowing, trimming, pruning, selective slashing, retaining existing low ground cover, and seeding, fertilization where set backs permit and tree/shrub plantings. The use of pesticides is intended within the area to which the PMP (IVMP) applies and may include the use biological control agents. KMC conducts all work, including pest management, in strict adherence with all applicable laws and regulations. The common names and an example of trade names of the pesticides proposed for use under this plan include: aminocyclopyrachlor (Navius VM), aminopyralid (Milestone), chlorsulfuron (Telar), clopyralid (Lontrel 360), dicamba (Vanquish), diflufenzopyr (Overdrive), flumioxazin (Payload), fluroxypyr (Retain B), glyphosate (Vantage XRT), MCPA (MCPA Amine 500), mecoprop-P (Mecoprop-P), metsulfuron methyl (Escort), picloram (Tordon 22K), triclopyr (Garlon XRT), 2,4-D (2,4-D Amine 600), Hasten (adjuvant) and siloxylated polyether (adjuvant). Application methods include: backpack, power hose and nozzle, wick/ wipe-on applicator, squirt bottle and boom sprayer. A draft copy of the proposed IVMP (PMP) and maps of the proposed treatment areas may be examined in detail online http://www.kindermorgan.com/content/docs/kmc_row_ivmp.pdf or by contacting the Applicant listed above. “A person(s) wishing to contribute information about a proposed treatment site, relevant to the development of the pest management plan, may send copies of the information to the applicant within 30 days of the publication of this notice”
