No jail time after eighth impaired conviction TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man with seven prior convictions for impaired driving has avoided jail after pleading guilty to his eighth charge. Douglas Anderson was sentenced in Kamloops provincial court on yesterday to a nine-month conditional sentence, including four months of house arrest. Court heard the 64-year-old was busted driving drunk on Aug. 23, 2015, when a friend of a friend called police after Anderson drove away from a social gathering where he had been drinking.
Police eventually tracked his vehicle down on a stretch of Chilcotin Way on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. When an officer attempted to stop Anderson, he sped away. “He was driving directly toward the police vehicle and, at the last minute, he swerved and drove around the police vehicle,” Crown prosecutor Andrew Duncan said. Police found Anderson walking away from his Pontiac Sunfire a short time later. He had crashed into a fence. In addition to a charge of impaired driving, Anderson also pleaded guilty to driving while prohibited. He was on a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition at the time of his arrest.

Anderson’s criminal record, which includes a dozen criminal-driving convictions, dates back to 1974. His last impaired driving conviction came 10 years ago in Alberta. “Mr. Anderson has struggled with alcohol is entire life,” defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen said. “Since this incident, he’s made it an absolute priority in his life to stay sober.” In court, Anderson acknowledged his mistake. “I was struggling hard to not get into this position again,” he said. “I relapsed.” In addition to the conditional-sentence order, Anderson was also ordered to pay more than $1,500 in fines and banned from driving for two years.

As you read this story, the festive CP Holiday Train is chugging its way through Alberta, set to cross the border into B.C. today and arrive in Kamloops on Thursday. On Nov. 25, the train began its annual journey to bring Christmas cheer, entertainment and a reason to help support food banks in communities it passes through. On board are Jonathan Roy, Dallas Smith and The Odds for the box-carbased mini-concerts that are part of the festivities at each stop. By the time the train — with its 14 brightly decorated rail cars with hundreds of thousands of LED lights and holiday designs — arrives in Kamloops, Roy will have left and it will be Smith and The Odds performing during the half-hour stop behind Sandman Centre. The train schedule shows it arriving there at 5 p.m. — although weather can sometimes delay it — with the show starting at 5:15 p.m. From Kamloops, it heads west to Savona, with an estimated arrival
time of 7:15 p.m., and to Ashcroft for an 8:50 p.m. arrival. For train enthusiasts in the city, the locomotive hauling the train was originally build in 1957, rebuilt in 2014, has 2,000 horsepower, is 56.02 feet long and weighs 275,000 pounds. This is the 18th year for the train, which in that time has raised more than $12 million and collected 3.9-million pounds of food for food banks along the two routes it takes, one through Canada and one into the U.S. Last year, people who came out to see the train, hear the entertainment and have some of the hot chocolate and other goodies available contributed $42,000 and 3,200 pounds of food to the Kamloops Food Bank.
Keep warm
Environment Canada is calling for frigid temperatures when the CP Holiday Train arrives. The forecast high on Thursday, is -15 C, with a projected low of -18 C. There is also a 40 per cent chance of flurries, so dress for the winter weather.

A Kamloops man who intentionally set a deadly fire in 2013 has been handed a prison sentence of more than seven years. However, after being given credit for time served prior to sentencing, David Gordon only has two years left to spend in custody. On April 25, 2013, Gordon set fire to the St. Paul Street apartment he was renting. Cheryl William was asleep inside at the time and suffered serious injuries. She did not regain consciousness and died in hospital four days later. William, who worked as a cook at the Sk’elep School of Excellence on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve, was a guest of Gordon’s roommate on the night of the fire. Following a fight with his girlfriend, Gordon set fire to a box of her clothes inside their suite before fleeing. Gordon’s roommate was unable to

douse the flames or wake up William. Last year, a jury found Gordon guilty on one count of manslaughter and two arson-related charges. In B.C. Supreme Court yesterday, William’s friends and family cried as Gordon was sentenced. “I’m just angry,” Earl William, the victim’s brother, told KTW outside court. “There’s nothing they could have said today that would have made it better.” William said he would have liked to
have seen Gordon handed a lengthier sentence. “I think our justice system is weak,” he said. “There are drug dealers who are in for longer. But the law is the law. That’s what he got.” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop sentenced Gordon to sevenand-a-half years. He received 150 per cent credit for time spent prior to sentencing, leaving two years of new time to be served. Once he is released from prison, Gordon will be bound by a 10-year long-term supervision order — a label that was not opposed by defence lawyer Ken Tessovitch. In addition to the prison sentence, Hyslop barred Gordon from possessing firearms for the rest of his life and ordered he submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. Gordon also pleaded guilty yesterday to an unrelated charge of assault causing bodily harm stemming from a January 2013 incident involving his girlfriend, for which he was sentenced to a further three months behind bars.

A Kamloops man alleged to have made an online threat to kill 20 students in a “Columbine-type” attack has been released on bail with an order barring him from being within 100 metres of a school. Evan Michael Spence is alleged to have made the threat on Thursday while playing an online video game. “In part of the game, he’s able to chat with people around the world,” Crown prosecutor Will Burrows said in court on Friday. “In the chat, he says he’s planning to enter a school and re-enact a Columbine-type incident.” Police were contacted and Spence was arrested. Burrows said the 19-year-old admitted to investigators to having made the threat, but said he wasn’t seriously considering carrying it out. Defence lawyer Richard Kaiser said the arrest was stressful for Spence and his family. Spence has no prior criminal record. “This was a traumatic situation for the whole family,” Kaiser said, noting the family does not have firearms. “There were five police officers in the home. These types of situations are dealt with very seriously.” Spence spent the night in jail before being released on Friday by Judge Stephen Harrison on conditions barring him from being near schools and possessing weapons. He is due back in court on Jan. 9.

School District 73 will make naloxone kits available for schools that feel they have a student population at risk for overdoses. Naloxone is an antidote that temporarily reverses the effects of an overdose. The move follows a recommendation from the Ministry of Health that kits and training for staff be provided if a high-risk population is identified. The district will be working with schools starting in January to determine which should have the kits, which will be kept with other first-aid supplies on site. • Kindergarten registration begins on Jan. 30, an earlier date than in previous years to help with school and budget planning. First up will be schools of choice, which will accept registrations until Feb. 3. For these schools, it is not first-come, firstserved. All applications have to be reviewed and, if necessary, a supervised draw will take place on Feb. 3 to determine who will be accepted. Families accepted will be advised during the week of Feb. 6 to Feb. 10. Regular kindergarten registration begins on Feb. 14.
BRIEFS • The board received $100,000 it can use for grants that encourage creativity, innovation and curriculum enrichment in the district. After reviewing the 27 applications for the money, it decided to distribute it between: – Four Directions, $13,500 for a critical media-literacy project; – Henry Grube Education Centre, $14,450 for a presentation of a learning project; – Brock Middle School, $8,500 for a What Sustains Us? exploration program and $6,745 for a Makerspace program; – Sa-Hali secondary, $6,300 for an I Am Malala project; – Chase secondary, $10,000 for an inquiry class project; – Arthur Stevenson elementary, $6,000 for a young filmmakers’ program; – Barriere secondary, $3,000 for a Chromebook inquiry-based project; – Schools using FreshGrade, an assessment tool teachers and students can use to create a portfolio, will receive $25,000 each. • The Kamloops-Thompson board of

Kamloops may break a temperature record today as the second week of a cold Arctic outflow pushes throughout the province. “Overnight lows will probably flirt with records for Kamloops,” said meteorologist Ross Macdonald with Environment Canada. “It depends on dayto-day extreme lows.” The easiest target is today’s, when the mercury dipped to -18.3 C in 1972, what Macdonald called a “soft record.” (Environment Canada data has a separate ledger of records stretching from 1890 to 1982, though some of those records have been updated in the newer databank. That ledger notes a record low of -26.7 C in Kamloops in 1922.) Other days during this week have records in the -20 C range or colder. The Arctic air mass (not a polar vortex,
which is centred around Greenland and affects the Prairies and Central Canada) made a fresh push, dropping into B.C. and across the border into the United States. Portland, Ore. recently experienced freezing rain from the weather pattern. The mass means highs in the -11 C range and overnight lows to about -18 C in Kamloops. “You’ve got a pipeline of cold, Arctic air coming from north of the Beaufort Sea — very cold Arctic air,” Macdonald said. Looking past this second week of the cold snap, Environment Canada sees warming temperatures as the typical westerly flows return to Southern B.C. By Sunday, the high should be a relatively warm -6 C. While the snow already in the city looks certain to remain, at least in higher elevations, Macdonald said it is too early to predict whether Kamloops will have a white Christmas. December’s cold
weather follows the past two years of warmer-than-average winter temperatures, when the El Nino phenomenon dominated the southern part of the province. Environment Canada is calling for normal winter temperatures this winter, with no dominating influences.
City ready for the snow and cold
While a big snowfall of about seven centimetres this past weekend had city snow plows out in force, Mother Nature has this far been kind to the city’s snow-clearing budget. Streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow said the budget for snow removal, which is about $1.6 million, is less depleted than in Decembers past, thanks to a lack of major snowfalls until now and a warm spring. The city has had round-the-clock snow-removal staffing in place since

Remembrance Day, Farrow said. When there is no snow to plow, staff work on pothole repair and other projects. To tackle the weekend snow, Farrow said there were about 10 pieces of clearing equipment on the roads, including a sidewalk plow. Sand was also used to combat slippery conditions. While the city uses salt and a calcium chloride-brine solution on roads for the same purpose, Farrow said it’s too cold outside for either of those measures to work. “It would probably make things slipperier,” he said. “There’s no binding agent to it, so it needs bare asphalt and temperatures closer to zero. At this temperature, the most effective thing for us is putting down sand.” The city focuses on arterial and collector roads first, with a goal of clearing smaller neighbourhood roads within 36 hours of a snowfall’s end.

NOVEMBER 2016
The pro of a cold spell is that it adds to the atmosphere when taking a ride on the 2141 Spirit of Christmas steam engine. The cons include waiting to board in double-digit negative temperatures, as these hardy souls did for Sunday’s 4 p.m. run. Go online to kamrail.com to learn more about the train and its schedule.

Martial Arts: Farrow said, many of those roads are still in the queue to be cleared. This year, the city is focusing more of its attention on clearing bus stops on those roads, Farrow said, clearing away paths for riders to get to the curb, rather than requiring them to climb over windrows to get on the bus.
Plumbing, heating companies kept busy during cold spell
Wayne Marshall, department manager at Interior Plumbing and Heating, said the cold weather has made for plenty of work. “Definitely, every year when we get a cold snap, the phone rings like crazy,” he said. “This is prolonged, so we are seeing an extension of the busy period.” Marshall said most of the calls have been from people without heat. “It’s an emergency for those customers,” he said. “Basically, people’s equipment is working much harder, so there are going to be more breakdowns.” He said his company hasn’t seen many calls for burst or frozen pipes — not yet,
anyway. He said some pipes might be frozen, but symptoms aren’t evident until the mercury rises. “It won’t be a problem until it warms up,” he said. “Then it will be a problem.” Marshall urged homeowners to make sure furnaces are in good working order to avoid loss of heat. “Make sure that filter is clean,” he said. “If that airflow is restricted, it makes that equipment work harder — and it’s already working harder.” He also suggested people listen for strange sounds or reduced performance from their furnace. “If they’re hearing unusual noises or not getting the heat they’re expecting, maybe call rather than waiting for a breakdown,” he said.
A winter wonderland for downhill and cross-country skiers
Harper Mountain couldn’t have asked for a better start. Norm Daburger, the resort’s general manager, said the weekend’s opening wasn’t impacted by cold weather in the city.
Already the coverage is excellent, he added, resembling very good mid-winter conditions. “I think, as far as sales to date, the optimism around, the weather forecast, everything looks like an incredibly positive year,” Daburger said. Harper Mountain, which is about 25 minutes from Kamloops, above Paul Lake, is expecting warmer temperatures by the weekend, when it will switch to begin its daily operations, which will last through to Jan. 2. The conditions are also positive for cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Daburger said the cross-country tracks were being put in yesterday. “The snow at that elevation is a little bit light, but the coverage is pretty good, surprisingly,” he said. “On top, for the snowshoe trails, it’s beautiful.” Conditions at Stake Lake south of Kamloops, where the Overlander Ski Club maintains trails for cross-country skiers and snowshoers, are also reported to be in excellent shape. Stake Lake opened on Dec. 3.

SHOPPING LOCAL IS WORTH IT
R
emember when shopping online was first introduced? Not only did they want your credit information, it was such a maze of buttons and forms that all but the most dedicated were left frustrated. The concept isn’t new. For those whose memories stretch a bit further back, there was catalogue shopping with Eaton’s or Sears. Remember waiting for the Christmas Wish Book to arrive, filled with pictures of all those toys and clothes, everything you could imagine? Those days are gone. It’s as simple now as telling Amazon what you need and letting it order for you. We’re not going to turn back time on technology, but we can point out the convenience of online shopping comes at a cost: personal service, the shopping experience, discovering the perfect item you didn’t know you wanted and more. When was the last time your computer — or a faceless clerk in a store 1,000 kilometres way — pointed out that a different item might be more suitable? Or helped you put that toy together when the instructions stopped making sense? Or went out of their way to help find a book that was out of stock? Those connections are as much a part of the shopping experience as being able to look over items and hold them in your hands before deciding to make a purchase. Shopping local supports our community. Purchases you make locally generate jobs and many, many business owners regard giving back to the community as a responsibility, not an option. They support local teams, they support local events and they contribute to the city in myriad ways. So, before you click on that purchase button this season, try out the local shopping experience in Kamloops and see if you can’t find that item right here at home. You will be surprised.

A snapshot of YKA
K
amloops Airport (YKA) at Fulton Field is a critical component of the local economy. The airport adds $40 million to the local economy, direct and indirect employees account for 600 local jobs and the airport complex generates $8 million in tax revenue annually. The airport is owned by the City of Kamloops and managed by the Kamloops Airport Authority Society (KAAS). I am president of the KAAS, and Mayor Peter Milobar, Coun. Tina Lange, CAO David Trawin and communications manager Tammy Robertson are city representatives. There are three local appointees: Tony Ryan, Brent Ballingall and Rob Wilson. Wilson also serves as treasurer of the KAAS. Recognizing the importance of the airport as a regional asset, Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Fred Seymour represents local First Nations, Steve Rice represents the Thompson-Nicola Regional District and Ron Babiy represents the airport business community. With approximately $60 million in assets, the airport generates $800,000 in revenue for the city and does not require any tax draw. Revenues are largely gained though passenger airportimprovement fees, landing fees and rental/lease charges. In 1997, when Transport Canada was transferring airport operations to municipalities, Kamloops entered into a longterm lease with YVR Airport Services (now known as the Vantage Airport Group) and
KEN CHRISTIAN
View From
CITY HALL an operating entity known as Kamloops Airport Ltd. (KAL) was established. Fred Legace is the managing director of the airport and he and all of other airport employees work for either Vantage Airport Group or a series of subcontractors. Airport revenues are reinvested in capital improvements, often supported by federal and provincial levels of government. In 2008, the terminal was expanded and modernized. In 2010, the runway was extended to 8,000 feet. In 2014, the airport spent $7 million resurfacing the runway. This year, with the help of Transportation Minister Todd Stone and the B.C. Air Access Program, $3.4 million was invested in apron improvements. This winter, the airport will partner with the city in a major sewerupgrading project. Every year, approximately 300,000 commercial and recreational air travellers pass through the airport. They access the world through regularly scheduled services to
Calgary and Vancouver. While KAAS is always marketing our airport and looking to add flights and destinations, we recognize the challenges in the industry and the requirements for high passenger volumes. We need to make use of additional flight opportunities when they are tested in the YKA market. The airport does not only serve the commercial-passenger market. The popularity of online shopping means parcel-delivery services is a growing segment of our operations. Service to the aircraft industry, fuel and aircraft repair services, general aviation, air-ambulance services, Kamloops Fire Centre, Provincial Air Tanker base and extensive Nav Canada operations complete the picture of the airport’s operations. However, we still have room to grow. In conjunction with Venture Kamloops, the airport has land available for more commercial and light-industrial operations. The airport is key to our community’s continued success. Thompson Rivers University, Sun Peaks, heli-ski operations, golf excursions, international tourism and the corporate-business sector are important partners. You, too, can help our airport’s success by making sure your next flight accesses the world through YKA. Ken Christian is a Kamloops councillor. Council columns appear monthly in KTW and online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Christian can be reached by email at kchristian@kamloops.ca. To comment on this column, email editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TRUDEAU CAN’T WALK THE WALK Editor: Regarding Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the federal Liberal party: First, there was a wedding, followed by a honeymoon. Now most of us can’t wait for the divorce. Enough is enough. I thought we got rid of a 10-year plague — the Liberal Party in Canada — but it’s back.
First there was a wedding, followed by a honeymoon. “Now, most of us can’t wait for the divorce.” Four years is a long time to be in power and dictators come in different shades. I was brought up to be honest and direct with people as my dad once told me, “You can lock up a thief, but never a liar.”
I have been paying attention to Trudeau and his henchmen and they are not much different from the Stephen Harper regime. I had a lot of respect for Pierre Trudeau. Over time, he gained
my respect. Justin Trudeau, however, has the attitude that respect comes with a title — that’s not the way it is; one has to earn it. It appears most of the elder Trudeau’s good traits did not rub off on his
son, who took on the big responsibility of running Canada, but can’t walk the walk. Yes, he is his father’s son, but far from being the achiever of Pierre. G.F. Johnston Kamloops
CONCERNED ABOUT CHINESE INVESTMENT Editor: Re: KTW’s story of Dec. 1 (‘Kamloops seniors’ care home part of proposed sale to Chinese company’): I am concerned about the Chinese investment in the
Retirement Concepts chain, including Kamloops Seniors Village on Hugh Allan Drive in Kamloops. It is said these places will be run by the same people responsible for them now.
However, the Chinese will have final control, of course. Investors do not do so without expecting to monitor and influence that in which their money is invested. That concerns me.
It should be an issue for Canadians who care about their senior citizens. I’m one of them. Stuart Frayne Kamloops
PIPELINE PROTEST WAS PEACEFUL Editor: I had the pleasure of joining 40 or 50 concerned citizens, many being First Nations, assembled at Victoria Street and Third Avenue on Nov. 25. Signs largely supported Standing Rock Sioux tribes in their fight over the Dakota
Access Pipeline in the U.S. Other signs protested Kinder Morgan and Enbridge pipeline proposals, as well as increased tanker traffic on the B.C. Coast. The demonstration was peaceful and lively, with much support from passing traffic. One incident
was a laugh. A large Ford diesel pulled up and, when the driver pulled a switch, it sent forth a large blast of black smoke as he gunned the truck across Victoria Street. The joke was that just as the cloud of smoke burst forth,
a gust of wind blew the smoke over the truck and enshrouded Scotiabank across the street — the irony being the Bank of Nova Scotia plans to invest $500 million in the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Residents at 200 North Shore and downtown homes may have to drag their garbage bins to a new spot if council agrees to do away with laneway collection in a handful of city blocks. In a report headed to council today, streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow said public works staff want 50 households in the Sagebrush (South Kamloops) neighbourhood and another 150 on the North Shore to put their garbage in front of their homes for collection. Farrow said the
changes will improve safety and make pickup services more efficient. Another 4,800 homes that also have laneway pickup won’t be affected. On the South Shore, Farrow said the city wants to eliminate collection on four dead-end alleys, which aren’t wide enough to allow the city’s garbage trucks to turn around to get out. Farrow said the alleyways are “extremely steep and narrow” and difficult to exit, even with back-up cameras installed. The change would impact homes that back on to the laneway between the 600-block of Dominion Street and Pine Street, McMurdo Drive homes west of Fraser Street and a number of homes on Pine Crescent, east of 13th Avenue. The city also wants
to change collection for about 150 homes on eight streets on the North Shore — mostly in the McDonald Park neighbourhood — where two separate trucks are passing in front and behind of the same homes to pick up bins. While residents have previously been allowed to choose whether to put their bins in front or back “because of the sensitivities around solid-waste collection,” Farrow said the city wants all residents to put their bins out front. Because the neighbourhoods are flat, Farrow said he believes the transition should be fairly painless. The move would also free up the truck now going through the laneways on those streets for other uses. Streets affected
include the east side of Sherwood Drive, the west side and a portion of the east side of Willow Street, a portion of the west side of Poplar Street, the west side of Park Street between MacKenzie Avenue and McDonald Avenue and the same portion of the eastern side of Thrupp Street. The north side of Alexander Avenue and south side of Campbell Avenue would also be impacted. Farrow said eliminating laneway collection on those streets would carve about $10,000 off the city’s operating budget. If council chooses not to make the change, Farrow said the city would likely need to spend about $320,000 to purchase another small truck to continue meeting collection demand in laneways.
“These are people’s homes and tenant comfort is a top priority for our company.” Bill Henderson, partner, Carlisle Management Inc.

Practise makes perfect at RIH Karan D’Souza, a thirdyear medical student at UBC, performs CPR during a simulation yesterday at Royal Inland Hospital’s new Rae Fawcett Simulation Centre.
ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
One doctor put it this way to Heidi Coleman: “It’s better we practise on these dolls than your mother.” “This really is a transformational gift,” Coleman, CEO of the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, said yesterday at a show and tell day for the Rae Fawcett Simulation Centre. The centre, which opened earlier this year in RIH’s new clinical-services building, is where technology and practise meet to advance healthcare education. Built to simulate a standard clinical room in every sense, from the monitors on the walls to the crash carts in the corners, the centre uses the dolls — in reality, highly computerized mannequins — to teach new procedures and educate hospital staff and medical students. “This is such a great honour to have my name attached to this area,” said a teary-eyed Fawcett, whose donation of $1 million helped fund the simulation centre.“This will save lives.” Interior Health’s simulation program started about seven years ago, then a program that involved a nurse and a doctor travelling to rural locales to provide training to health-care practitioners. Four years ago, the Pritchard Simulation Centre opened at the Kelowna General
ADAM WILLIAMS/KTW
Hospital. The Fawcett Centre opened a few months ago. The open-space room features two simulation areas, one for pediatric patients and another for adults. The centre also features a control room — where practitioners can be monitored and the situation controlled — and a debriefing area. The hope is RIH will be able to add an obstetrics mannequin. “I think it’s incredibly useful because we get that ability to actually practise what we’re learning in the books,” said Karan D’Souza, a thirdyear UBC medical student who was part of an inter-disciplinary team trying to save a patient in a demonstration yesterday. “Being put in that situation, even in a simu-
lated situation a couple minutes ago, you actually feel the stress of that situation.” As a code blue was announced over the intercom, the group got to work trying to revive an unconscious patient, led by second-year family practice resident Dr. Steve Reid. D’Souza alternated doing chest compressions, while others administered drugs, intubated the patient and used a defibrillator to try to establish a pulse. “When you put it all together and you’re at the bedside, that’s where the learning really takes place,” Reid said. “This is 100 per cent authentic. This is exactly what it feels like when you’re at the bedside.” For D’Souza, who has been in Kamloops for a little more than six
months, simulations take place about once a month. He said they are increasingly used in the medical-school curriculum at UBC. The feedback D’Souza has gained has been invaluable. At one point, he received advice on changing his stance and the way he was gripping instruments — something that may have gone unnoticed in a real emergency. It helps, too, to experience uncommon scenarios in a low-risk environment. “These situations aren’t common. We don’t get a lot of patients who code and require CPR, but these are practised skills,” he said. “These are things you have to practise over and over again in order to be good at them. This provides us with that opportunity and you do take those skills over [to your work]. “You can talk about it, but you have to be able to put your hands on the materials and actually get going. “When we do get those situations, it’s extremely important that we have this type of background, otherwise it can be difficult to be effective.”

Dean Nicholson and the staff at Investors Group in Kamloops got a little boost to start their fundraising for the KTW Christmas Cheer Fund this year. Nicholson, a certified financial planner, said the company’s head office matched some of last year’s donations in the spring, giving Investors Group’s 2016 Cheer
Fund donation an early bump of $1,205. In 12 years, Nicholson and company have raised $32,622.41 for Christmas Cheer. “I don’t set benchmarks because everybody has so much
on their plates and I totally get that and don’t want to impose,” Nicholson said when asked if he had a goal for this year’s effort. “But, at the same time, I impose a little bit,” he said, laughing. “I motivate. I urge everybody.” Investors Group is a community-minded company that supports charities throughout the year, including the Alzheimer’s Society, the Kamloops Food Bank, Rotary,
Kiwanis, the YMCAYWCA, the Kamloops Pregnancy Care Centre, ALS Society, the Valleyview Skating Club, Red Cross and the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association. “This is, of course, one of my favourites,” Nicholson said. “We like to kind of spread the wealth. I love the five different charities. It’s nice to be able to affect a lot of different people in each of those charities.”

Realtors reject amalgamation CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Realtors in Kamloops have opted to stick with the current local board association and reject an amalgamation with the B.C. Real Estate Association. Katherine Rutherford, president of Kamloops & District Real Estate Association, expressed disappointment at the vote. If successful, it would have brought a number of unaffiliated real-estate boards, including Kamloops, into the larger B.C. Real Estate Association (BCREA).
The move matters little to buyers and sellers in the short term. But Rutherford believes it would have brought local administrative savings, an improved MLS system and better apps to local members — and, ultimately, better service to their customers. Six real-estate boards in the province voted on Dec. 6, with the results released yesterday. Those six were Kamloops, Fraser Valley, Okanagan, Greater Vancouver, South Okanagan and Northern. In Kamloops, 216 members of an eligible 280 voted, with 70 per cent of
them voting in favour of amalgamating. It failed to meet a higher agreed-upon threshold of 75 per cent. “It shows us there’s a big appetite for change,” Rutherford said of the majority vote in favour. Four of the boards — Northern, Fraser Valley, Kamloops and South Okanagan — required a 75 per cent vote of approval, with Northern and Okanagan meeting that threshold. The remaining two boards — Okanagan and Greater Vancouver — needed a 67 per cent vote of approval, with only Greater Vancouver meeting that threshold.
TREC students serving meals today The Girls Group at Twin Rivers Education Centre (TREC) in Brocklehurst will be busy in the kitchen today. Students will be at Mount Paul United Church at 140 Laburnum St. on the North Shore, serving chili and buns to the homeless — and anybody else who might need a warm meal on a day when the temperature is not expected to get much warmer than -12 C. The students will be handing out the lunch meal between noon and 1:30 p.m. TREC is an alternate-education program for students between 14 and 19 years of age.

LOCAL NEWS 540 FACELIFT
YOUR BEST YOU STARTS HERE
Hotel 540 is getting another facelift as its owners look to fill the vacant space left by the former Lake City Casino. Bryan Pilbeam, general manager of the hotel and vicepresident of National Hospitality Group, said the renovation will modernize the former casino space, adding windows and removing a poured concrete canopy. “We wanted to give it a fresh, new look on the street level,” Pilbeam said. The space has been for lease for more than a year, after Lake City rebranded as Cascades Casino and moved to Aberdeen. Pilbeam said there has been interest in using the space for retail, offices and a year-round public market, but so far there are no firm commitments. “We’ve had interest, but ultimately, people couldn’t get past the old visual of what it was, all rock and no windows,” he said. Renovations should be complete in January.

While School District 73 has seen graduation-completion rates increase through the years, none of the categories has seen the growth experienced with special-needs students. In the 2010 school year, that completion rate was 46.6 per cent; at the end of the 2014 school year, it had grown to 71.7 per cent. As it increased, the rate went from being below the provincial average — 52.7 per cent in 2010 — to well above the 65.9 per cent registered across B.C. in 2014.
A report on the six-year completion rates was introduced at last night’s KamloopsThompson board of education meeting. It reviews the five school years that end in 2014-2015. The statistics are based on Ministry of Education information and don’t factor in students who have died or moved out of the district, students who are visiting international exchange or Kamloops Blazers students. The report shows the rate for all students district-wide continues to be below the provincial average, but the percentage of aboriginal students completing school remains well above
the provincial marker. For all students, with provincial percentages in brackets, the report shows: 2010, 75.9 (81); 2011, 77.8 (81.8); 2012, 78.4 (83.6); 2013 (82.8 (84.2); and 2014, 82 (83.9). For aboriginal students, the comparison shows: 2010, 64.4 (53.7); 2011, 69 (56.4); 2012, 66.7 (59.4); 2013, 68.7 (61.6); and 2014, 73 (63). Looking at its own review of completion success for the 2014-2015 school year, however, SD73 shows of all students, 90 per cent completed with either a Dogwood diploma or a completion certificate. For aboriginal students, the rate was 85 per cent.
Correction A photo page that ran in the Dec. 9 edition of Kamloops This Week incorrectly stated Kamloops Arts Council is behind the Christmas at the

Optimism oilpatch will grow again 44,000 Canadian oil, gas jobs have been lost since 2014 DAN HEALING
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A dramatic jump in oil prices linked to the promise of lower global production is fuelling hope the Canadian oil sector may soon recover from a two-year economic slump. Observers say they are optimistic Saudi Arabia, the top exporter in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), is committed to cut exports to reduce a global oil glut that has depressed prices and contributed to thousands of layoffs in Western Canada. They are also taking heart from news on the weekend that 11 producers from outside OPEC, including Russia, have agreed to reduce output. Scott Saxberg, CEO of Calgary-based Crescent Point Energy, said he is already working on ways to remind his company’s investors spending to grow production is back in vogue after two years of cutting costs and limiting drilling. Crescent Point recently announced a $1.45-billion budget for 2017 to grow output by about 10 per cent — but Saxberg said it will spend even more to add more wells in the second half of the year if benchmark prices remain above US$50 per barrel. “Every dollar change in WTI [West Texas Intermediate crude] adds $50 million of cash flow, so it really positions us to add to that growth depending on the effect of these cuts,’’ he said. Precision Drilling CEO Kevin Neveu said North American drilling budgets are starting to rise on oil price optimism, although much faster in the United
States than in Canada. “We are bullish and commodity prices rising do help,’’ he said. “It appears that OPEC and even nonOPEC countries have the intention to push the price firmer.’’ He said the Calgarybased company has 72 drilling rigs working in Canada, up from about 60 at this time last year, which translates into about 250 more jobs. Martin Pelletier, a Calgary-based money manager with TriVest Wealth Counsel, said the Saudis are intent on inflating the oil price. “You can see that in their actions and OPEC and non-OPEC co-ordination,’’ he said. He said a Saudi plan to sell shares in 2018 in the national oil company, Saudi Aramco, provides plenty of motivation for it to avoid the cheating that has derailed previous agreements on production cuts. Benchmark U.S. oil prices rose yesterday to spike at over US$54 per barrel for a time, exceeding recent price assumptions published by some Canadian oil and gas companies. Suncor Energy, for instance, forecast US$52 per barrel in setting its 2017 capital spending budget at about $5 billion. Cenovus Energy is basing its budget of $1.3 billion on a price of US$47.25 per barrel. In its recent quarterly update, the Alberta government raised its 2016-2017 WTI forecast by US$3 to US$45 per barrel. The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers estimates at least 44,000 direct jobs have been lost in Canada’s oil and gas industry since the downturn started in 2014.

Feds ease rules for injection sites Lake pleased with decision
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The federal government is making it easier to set up supervised drug injection sites in Canada while cracking down on illicit shipments of fentanyl and the import of equipment used to make pills and capsules. Health Minister Jane Philpott and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale announced the proposed changes to the Controlled Drug and Substances Act after question period yesterday. Philpott is billing the changes as part of the Liberal government’s overall effort to take Canada’s drug strategy out of the realm of criminal justice and into the public health fold. Canada has only two drug-injection sites in Canada, both in Vancouver, and existing laws allow such sites to operate only in exceptional
Health Minister Jane Philpott and Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale announced yesterday proposed changes to the Controlled Drug and Substances Act.
circumstances. Philpott said the new law would make it easier for such sites to be established, provided they can demonstrate a compelling public health need and a lack of risk to public safety. The new legislation would also lift a restriction that prevents border guards from inspecting packages that are under 30 grams in weight, provided they have reason to believe the packages contain illegal drugs. Health officials and political leaders alike have been sounding the alarm
about a dramatic spike in fatalities across Canada from overdoses of the deadly opioid fentanyl. Goodale says an amount of fentanyl roughly the size of a grain of salt can cause a serious overdose. In British Columbia alone, officials say there have been 622 drug overdose deaths between January and October, about 60 per cent of them involve fentanyl. The federal government announced last month it was taking steps to control six chemicals used to make fentanyl.
Health Minister Terry Lake and provincial medical officer of health Dr. Perry Kendall spent yesterday touring the Downtown Eastside but issued a joint press release reacting to the federal announcement. They said they were pleased with the decision to move forward “on many of the actions B.C. has continuously advocated for to help address the overdose crisis. “A national approach is needed, and the new Canada-wide drugs and substances strategy will help save people’s lives.” In particular, the release noted the government’s action on pill presses and changing the laws to allow border officers to inspect packages weighing less than 30 grams, calling it “an important and complementary step
toward stopping the flow of opioids onto our streets.” Moves to speed up approval of safeconsumption sites was also praised. Interior Health Authority wants to create three such facilities, a mobile one in Kamloops and both mobile and stationary in Kelowna. Lake recently went to Ottawa with Premier Christy Clark to lobby for changes that would bolster the battle against what Kendall declared a provincial medical emergency in April. The release said “Making it easier to establish supervised consumption services by streamlining the federal application process will not only prevent overdose fatalities, it will help connect people into treatment and recovery services.” — Dale Bass, KTW
Three people appointed to NEB OTTAWA — The federal government has appointed three new bilingual members to the National Energy Board in a move that could get the stalled Energy East pipeline review back on track. The temporary appointments by Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr fill a void
left when the previous panel examining TransCanada’s proposed 4,500-kilometre pipeline stepped down due to perceptions of a potential conflict of interest. The chairman of the National Energy Board has also recused himself from choosing the next panel over
the same conflict concerns. The three new members — one each from New Brunswick, Ontario and Quebec — were not specifically named to the Energy East review panel by Carr because it’s up to the acting chair of the National Energy Board to assign duties.
But the government news release pointedly noted the two men and one woman are all qualified to be considered for the pipeline review. The new members are Don Ferguson of New Brunswick, Carole Malo from Ontario and Marc Paquin of Quebec. — The Canadian Press
AVALANCHE RESCUE
B.C. skiers survive chilly night VANCOUVER — Two skiers who were caught in an avalanche on a West Vancouver mountain were rescued yesterday after a frigid overnight stay. North Shore Search and Rescue said a helicopter flew to Cypress Mountain and crews rescued the men from an out-ofbounds area with a long line just after 9 a.m. West Vancouver Police said the two Vancouver men were cold but otherwise OK and were cleared by paramedics to leave the mountain. The skiers were caught in an avalanche on Sunday and were forced to stay overnight after the search was called off due to a high avalanche risk in the area. Search manager Doug Pope said the men reported by text message Sunday night
they were safe where they were and volunteers gave them instructions on how to stay warm. Temperatures dipped as low as -6 C and the skiers were likely unprepared for an overnight stay, Pope added. “It would have been a very, very cold night for them,’’ Pope said. “They were caught in an avalanche yesterday and managed to escape, but they would have been wet from that. Trudging in that gully all afternoon would have got them wet. “I’m sure it was a miserable night.” Pope said one of the men is 42 years old. He said there were signs warning skiers not to go out of bounds in the area known as Tony Baker Gully, which is
named after a teenager who died there. The frightening situation should be a warning to other skiers, he said. “This worked out OK but you can just see a scenario where it doesn’t. They could have died there yesterday in that avalanche.” Conditions remain extremely hazardous on the North Shore mountains, with Avalanche Canada warning that thick new slabs can be triggered by humans. Police said in a statement the 21-hour ordeal, caused by “a decision to cross under boundary ropes,’’ highlights the importance of respecting ski boundaries. — The Canadian Press

SLOWDOWN TO FOLLOW RECORD YEAR The British Columbia Real Estate Association said residential sales in the province are forecast to climb 11 per cent to a record 113,800 units this year, eclipsing the previous record of 106,310 units in 2005. Less robust economic conditions, combined with government policy constraints, are expected to slow housing demand by more than 15 per cent, to 96,300 units in 2017. However, housing demand is expected to remain well above the ten-year average of 85,000 unit sales. “Housing demand across the province is expected to moderate next year as declining affordability related to rising prices and government policy interventions limit the number of eligible buyers,” said Cameron Muir,
BCREA’s chief economist. “However, while home sales are not expected to repeat this year’s record performance, consumer demand is expected to remain well above the 10-year average.” The average MLS residential price in the province is forecast to increase 9.8 per cent to $698,900 this year. The supply of homes for sale is expected to trend higher next year as moderating demand is met with
added new home completions. A trend toward more balance in the market will unfold next year and exert less upward pressure on home prices. In addition, a larger contraction in the number high-end home sales will contribute to lower the aggregate average price statistic. As a result, the average MLS residential price in the province is forecast to decline 6.4 per cent to $654,200 in 2017.

REAL ESTATE IN WINTER WHY BUY IN THE WINTER? • Less people are shopping, which means less competition when buying a home • Many sellers are already putting houses on the market with prices intended to sell, so buyers are less likely to go through long negotiations • Sellers are motivated by quick closing dates, so are more eager to get their homes sold faster
JESSICA SUTHERLAND
WHY SELL IN THE WINTER? • Homebuyers are much more serious shoppers, not interested in window shopping but have intent to buy. This and other reasons, such as job relocations, make winter buyers much more motivated • There are fewer properties on the market, particularly new properties, so sellers of older homes have a better chance of getting at or above listing price • Typically we see faster closing dates on contracts and faster negotiations
Most buyers looking in winter months are doing so out of need rather than desire. Job relocations occur very frequently in the early months of the year, leaving buyers with little time to shop. Your Kamloops REALTOR

Andy Clovechok, Mr. Hockey in Kamloops, died on Saturday night. He was 93.

M
olly Clovechok knows it hasn’t really hit home, the reality of losing her husband of more than 69 years. Kamloops hockey legend Andy Clovechok died peacefully on Saturday night. He was 93. “I’m very fortunate to have family around me, but I know it’s not going to be easy,” 92-year-old Molly told KTW on Monday morning. “I sit here and think of things in the past. He was just great. He was loved by everybody.” In 2012, Handy Andy, as he was known back when, was inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in the team category with the 19451946 Vancouver Canucks, who that year played their inaugural season in the Pacific Coast Hockey League (PCHL). The induction ceremony sealed Andy’s hall-of-fame hat trick. He was already in the Kamloops Sports Hall of Fame and Alberta Sports Hall of Fame, as a member of the 1947-1948 Edmonton Flyers who won the senior men’s Allan Cup. “Imagine that, eh?” Andy, then 89, told KTW. “I’m looking forward to this one because that’s where I started in 1945-46 and it’s been a long time.” Clovechok was paid about $60 a week during the Canucks’ inaugural season, in which he won the PCHL scoring title with 103 points, 56 of them goals. He was given a $40 raise for his exploits. Born in Slovakia, Clovechok moved to Rosedale, Alta., with his mother when he was five. His father was already there,

working in a coal mine. In 1942, Clovechok joined the military service and eventually found himself in Lethbridge, where he played for the Bombers. After a stint with the Sea Island Seahawks in Vancouver, he attended training camp with the Canucks in 1945. Vancouver bested the PCHL’s Southern Division-winning Hollywood Wolves 4-1 in the best-of-seven final series and was crowned 1945-1946 champion. That same year, the Canucks won the United States Amateur Championship, beating the Eastern Hockey League champion Boston Olympics in Game 7 of a thrilling series played at the Vancouver Forum. Clovechok moved to Kamloops in 1951 to play for the senior Elks and never left. He bought a carpet and uphol-
stery business in 1955 and became involved in Kamloops minor hockey for decades to come, serving as a coach, referee and director. “Andy was instrumental in helping with the development of women’s hockey in the late 1970s,” KJ Klontz, a champion of the women’s game herself, wrote on Facebook. “A true gentleman. Sincere condolences to the Clovechok clan.” CFJC-TV sports director Earl Seitz moved to the River City to do play-by-play for the 1973-1974 Kamloops Chiefs. Andy was his colour man. “He was my Don Cherry. Not as controversial, but certainly every bit as insightful,” Seitz said. “He was an icon. I never heard anybody say a bad word about him. Ever.” In 2009, Clovechok, who served

for 24 years on the Kamloops Blazers’ board of directors when the franchise was owned and operated by the non-profit Kamloops Blazers Sports Society, was named a Blazer Legend in the builders’ category. Handy Andy was Mr. Hockey in Kamloops and he bled blue and orange. The Kamloops Junior Oilers became the Blazers before the 1984-1985 campaign. Andy did not miss a Blazers’ home game until the night he was inducted to the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame in September of 2012. Molly and Andy — who had three children, Don, Terry and Jane — have their names etched onto their seats at Sandman Centre. “This past season, he hadn’t been able to go, but listened to all the games on the radio,” Molly
said. “He was always a Blazer. We’re part of the Blazers.” Andy had taken a fall and broken his hip. He then contracted pneumonia and was fighting other illnesses in hospital. “I know he wouldn’t have wanted to carry on that way,” Molly said. “He had a peaceful passing, but we’ll all miss him terribly.” Neither his hockey legacy nor his character are in doubt, judging by the outpouring of support the family is receiving. “There have been so many calls and cards at the door. I try to accommodate people and there are a lot of people around and arriving,” said Molly, whose 70th wedding anniversary would have been next July. “It won’t hit me for a little while, I don’t think. Everybody loved him. He was a great man.”

KIJHL prospects’ game to return ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
It will be another opportunity for players to impress teams at the next level, maybe land a job or a camp invite. The KIJHL announced Friday its Top Prospects Game will return in January. The decision marks the end of an eight-year hiatus — the showcase event hasn’t been held since Jan. 17, 2009, when it was hosted in Chase. The game is being pitched as a recruiting event for scouts from the B.C. Hockey League and Western Hockey League. The criteria for selection is still evolving, but it’s expected the teams — Team Okanagan/Shuswap and Team Kootenay — will include the best under-18 players from each conference, going head-to-head on Jan. 14 at Rutland Arena. “I think it’s a good idea,” said Storm general manager Barry Dewar. “It’s better than it was in the past, with it just being a Top Prospects Game and not an all-star game at the same time. It’s far more conducive to fitting into the schedule.” The game will take place in conjunction with the Kelowna International
Elite Midget Hockey Tournament, already a big draw for junior A and major junior scouts. Four coaches from each conference are taking part in team selection, including the Storm’s Ed Patterson and the Chase Heat’s Brad Fox. The Doug Birks Division coaches will work with a pair of coaches from the Okanagan Division to select the Okanagan/ Shuswap Conference team. Same goes for the Kootenay Conference. While Dewar said the game will be aimed at U18 players, he believes it will likely feature a preponderance of skaters on the younger end of the scale. Storm defenceman Garrett Ewert — who leads the Storm in points with 35 and is on pace to be named the league’s best defenceman as a 17-year-old — and forwards Evan Walls and Devin Leduc would be candidates for inclusion, he said. “Any time a scout can watch players play with other good players, they’re going to be enticed to come,” he said. Asked if the rosters will feature a certain number of players
from each KIJHL team, Dewar said he’d prefer it just be the best of the best. “I hope not because I think the best players should go,” Dewar said. “I could see that happening, but I hope it’s the top players.”
The weekend
Kamloops split weekend action against the Doug Birks Division, dropping a Saturday contest to the Chase Heat 4-2, but
rebounding to defeat the Sicamous Eagles 3-1 on the road on Sunday. Kaine Comin and Dallas Otto scored the lone goals against Chase, while Mitch Friesen and Ewert both had two points to lead Kamloops to a win against Sicamous. The Storm will be back at Memorial Arena tomorrow, taking on the Revelstoke Grizzlies. Game time is 7:35 p.m.

B.C. LIONS’ LEGEND RICK KLASSEN SUCCUMBS TO CANCER AT 57 Defensive lineman Rick Klassen, who played 10 seasons in the CFL including nine with the B.C. Lions, died at age 57 on the weekend following a battle with cancer. Klassen, from Chilliwack, was drafted as an offensive guard by the Lions in 1981, but was converted to a defensive lineman in his rookie season. He was named the most valuable Canadian of the 1983 Grey Cup, though the Lions lost the title match 18-17 to the Toronto Argonauts at BC Place Stadium. Two years later, Klassen got a chance to hoist the iconic tro-

phy when the Lions downed the Hamilton Tiger-Cats 37-24 to take the 1985 Grey Cup. Klassen joined
the Saskatchewan Roughriders for the 1988 season before returning to the Lions for the final two years of his career. He
announced his retirement after the 1990 season. Over a span of 160 CFL games, Klassen recorded 66 sacks and added another four and a half in two Grey Cup appearances. Klassen was voted a member of the Lions’ All-Time Dream Team in 2003 as part of the team’s 50th anniversary celebrations. He was inducted into the B.C. Lions Wall of Fame in 2007 as part of the Lions’ 1985 Grey Cup team. A celebration of life is planned for the new year. Klassen’s son, Chad, is a reporter at CFJCTV in Kamloops.

by season’s end, is too close to call, even if it likely favours the Pittsburgh Penguins captain. McDavid, for starters, has met the skyhigh expectations for his sophomore NHL season, first in NHL scoring with 39 points in his first 31 games. He’s gone from 1.07 points per-game as a rookie to 1.26 per-game for the Oilers, his evenstrength production (assists and points) spiking on a per-minute basis alongside his individual puck possession numbers (55 per cent). The 19-year-old, who is one of the youngest players in the league, has been terrific. But Crosby is still tops, putting together a 2016 that’s without compare. Since Jan. 1, Crosby has a leaguebest 89 points in only 66 games (1.35 pergame), bettering the

next closest player (Patrick Kane) by 11 points despite playing in seven fewer games. He’s also No. 1 with 47 goals in that span, including a leagueleading 20 in 22 games this season, heading into Monday’s play. Crosby, despite starting the year two weeks late, is fourth in the scoring race (31 points) and first with 1.41 points per-game. The Penguins are generating 63 per cent of available scoring chances (evenstrength) when their captain is on the ice, the best mark of any forward in the league (minimum 10 games).
ALL-STAR ALERT
They didn’t crack the top-five in the first count of all-star voting, but these players deserve some votes if current trends persist: • Devan Dubnyk (Central): One could argue that Dubnyk, and not Carey Price, has been the league’s top goalie this season. The Minnesota Wild netminder tops the NHL with a .946 overall save percentage, .955 evenstrength save percentage, 1.63 goals against average and four shutouts. • Nikita Kucherov (Atlantic): On track for career-highs in essentially every offensive category, Kucherov has mustered 13 goals and 30 points (20 at evenstrength) in 28 games
for the Tampa Bay Lightning. • Brandon Saad (Metropolitan): Playing primarily alongside Nick Foligno and Alexander Wennberg in Columbus, Saad has collected 22 points (all at even-strength) and 57 per cent puck possession mark in 26 games. • Leon Draisaitl (Pacific): Draisaitl gets lost in the McDavid shadow, but he’s become a real secondary force in the Oilers lineup. The 21-yearold’s even-strength production is about in line with last year’s impressive rookie campaign. What’s changed is the power play. Draisaitl already has a career-best 11 points and 26 total points in 31 games.
CROSBY CRUISING
Crosby has never scored 20 goals in his NHL career faster than this season. He’s only come close to this pace twice before, reaching 20 goals in 27 games during the 2010-2011 season and 30 games one season earlier. The 29-year-old has had 20-goal seasons 10 times in his NHL career.
ONE-GOAL GAMES
The NHL’s best team so far in one-goal games? The surging Calgary Flames, who boast a 10-1-2 mark.

Ronaldo wins fourth player of year award TALES AZZONI
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
MADRID — After giving a European Championship title to Portugal and another Champions League trophy to Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo ends 2016 with something just for himself — his fourth world player of the year award. Ronaldo yesterday won his third Ballon d’Or award, which this year is being handed out by France Football magazine separately from FIFA. Ronaldo also took home the Ballon d’Or prize in 2013 and 2014, and the FIFA award in 2008 while still playing for Manchester United. The Portugal forward is also in contention for FIFA’s prize this year, along with Lionel Messi and Antoine Griezmann, who finished second and third to Ronaldo yesterday, respectively. “This was likely the best year of my career, individually and collectively,’’ Ronaldo said in a pre-recorded video. “It was unforgettable.’’ Only Ronaldo and Messi have been voted the best in the world
CRISTIANO RONALDO
since 2007, when Kaka won the prize. Messi won a record fifth award last year. “For me it’s a great honour to receive my fourth golden ball,’’ Ronaldo said. “I never thought in my mind to win [it] four times, so I’m so pleased, I’m so happy. I have to thank all my teammates, the national team, Real Madrid, all the people, all the players who helped me win this individual award.’’ Messi was runnerup for the fifth time in his career, while Griezmann finished third after a remarkable year with France and Atletico Madrid. Luis Suarez was fourth and Barcelona teammate Neymar fifth in the results announced by the Paris-based magazine.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Charles Russell “Rusty” dePfyffer July 10, 1950 – December 7, 2016 It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Charles Russell dePfyffer on December 7, 2016 at his home. His life was cut short though he fought a courageous battle with cancer. Russell was a great story teller, an avid outdoorsman and a loyal friend. Russell is survived by Janeene, his wife of 40 years, his daughter Jill (Jon) and sons Randy (Nikki) and Robert (Miranda). He also leaves behind his four grandchildren Emmerson, Ryker, Ben and Wyatt to whom he loved being Papa. He will be dearly missed by his mother Joan, his two sisters Christine (Bill) and Jerryl (Paul) and his brother Richard (Cindy) along with many nieces and nephews. Russell was predeceased by his father Charles and his grandson Charlie. Russell was born and raised in Kelowna, BC where he went to Dr. Knox High School. He joined the BC Dragoons as a teen and traveled with his unit to Germany. In 1970, Russell moved to Kamloops and started work with the Canadian Pacific Railway shortly thereafter. Rusty continued with the CPR for 35 years, until retirement at 55 in 2005. Rusty loved the outdoors, hunting, fishing and trapping. He did many hunting and guiding expeditions all over Northern British Columbia. He enjoyed snowmobiling and ATV-ing with his trusty sidekick chocolate lab Seymour. He liked sharing coffee on the deck at the cabin at East Barriere Lake where he spent his summers with friends and family fishing, boating and water skiing. He often talked about how he climbed the steepest street in New Zealand, summited the tallest mountain in Denmark and even survived a helicopter crash on one of his many hunting expeditions. Special Thanks to Dr. Shane Gorman, Monica Stegar and Dr. Farren for your care and guidance. A Celebration of Life will be held at The Calvary Community Church, 1205 Rogers Way in Kamloops on Saturday, December 17, 2016 at 1:00 pm. Should friends desire, donations to BC Children’s Hospital Foundation www.bcchf.ca or Ronald McDonald House www.rmhbc.ca in memory of Russell would be appreciated.

Jessie Foote
Born August 5, 1933 in Liverpool, England
Passed away December 6, 2016 in Kamloops, BC
Jessie Foote, beloved Mum, Grandmother, GreatGrandmother and Aunt passed away into the presence of her Lord and Savior on December 6, 2016 at the age of 83 years. Jessie is survived by her loving children, son Paul Foote, daughter Julie (Craig) Bennett, grandchildren Alison (Craig) Roberts, William Bennett, David Bennett (Robert Davies), Elizabeth Bennett (Martin Whitney) and great-grandchildren Nissa, Eric, Celeste, Sophia, Genevieve, Kaylee and Isabelle. She is also survived by her brother-in-law George Brice, her nephews Raymond Brice and William Jones and a large circle of family and friends. Jessie was pre-deceased by her beloved husband William Foote, her parents William Jones and Alice Margaret (James) Jones and her sisters Alice (Jones) Brice, Mary, Audrey and Margaret Ann Jones.
Carl Edward Kickbush Carl was born in Chilliwack on April 3, 1920 to Fred and Consuela Kickbush at the Kickbush farm on Prest Road. The Kickbushes had a large dairy farm where he worked and later managed. When WWII broke out, Carl was turned down for service because of his flat feet and, what the doctor said, was an impending appendicitis. Dad finally had his appendix removed in his 90’s which he thought was funny. Instead of serving overseas, Carl volunteered for the Pacific Coast Militia Rangers. He took great pride in his service with them and his knowledge of the Fraser Valley. Carl was one of the first people to spot and report a Japanese weather balloon in B.C. Carl came up to the Okanagan and worked at the White Lake Ranch in the 1940’s for some time as a ranch hand. He liked working with cattle and horses but didn’t enjoy the many rattlesnakes in that area and had nightmares about them almost his entire life. Carl then went and worked for the family company, Princeton Box and Lumber Company in Princeton and then Keremeos. He logged for them and then worked in the mill until they closed. He must have enjoyed driving large trucks because he then started his career at CP Transport in Penticton. In 1962 he and Anne moved to Kamloops where he drove for CP until 1976. Carl then drove City bus until his retirement in 1986. Combined, Carl had over 6 million miles logged driving truck and bus which he was very proud of. Carl and Anne raised chinchillas for many years while they lived in Rayleigh as well. In 1992, Carl and Anne moved to Penticton to Red Wing complex. Always handy with saws and furniture making, Carl turned the garage into a wood working shop and spent many, many hours of enjoyment there. Carl made trays, clocks, small tables, scale model vehicles and trains and refinished furniture. This kept him busy almost to the very end. Carl was a 70 year member of the Masonic Lodge and travelled BC to attend various meetings and events. Many of Carl’s woodworking projects were given to lodge members and are now all over North America and England which he was very proud of. Dad was able to attend lodge up until very recently and it was something he enjoyed very much. In retirement, Carl continued his love of driving. He and Anne made several trips to Ontario, California, Vancouver lsland, Alberta and Saskatchewan and one trip to the Yukon. Carl will be remembered as a hard worker and excellent provider but more importantly, a kind, giving man who loved to laugh and share a good story. Carl leaves behind his loving wife Anne, daughter Cindy and husband Corey Swain, step-daughter Donna and husband Don Koenig and their family, daughter Maralyn McLeod and her family, brother Gordie Kickbush and his family. He was pre-deceased by his sister Marion and her son John. Providence Funeral Home in Penticton is in charge of arrangements. A public Masonic service will be announced at a later date in March, 2017.
December 13, 2012
It is with uplifted hearts that we think about and treasure all those beautiful memories Mom filled us with each and every year. Those memories will live on forever in our hearts and have shaped us in so many ways as people and, as a family. We manage to trudge on, move forward and grow and love one another more and more each day as we find strength from all those powerful, loving words of wisdom.
In lieu of flowers, donations made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Royal Inland Hospital in memory of Jessie would be greatly appreciated. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

We feel your presence and love as we embrace the spirit of Christmas. No matter where we are, we reach out and hug one another just a little extra at this time of year. We know you’re overjoyed when you hear us say “My cup is so full, I am drinking from my saucer”. We feel truly blessed to have been given the gift of so many beautiful memories.
The family would like to express their sincere appreciation to the staff of the emergency department and 5 North of Royal Inland Hospital for the wonderful care they gave our beloved Mum, we could not have asked for better care, Thank you so much.

In Loving Memory of
Barbara Farquhar Peacefully on December 1, 2016 while the sun was shining, mom slipped away surrounded by family. Mom was born on January 15, 1928 in Preston, Lancashire. She began her career in nursing at the age of 16 during the war and went on to complete her training at Royal Free Hospital in London in 1950. After traveling in Europe, she decided to embark on a trip to Canada and arrived in Montreal in 1955. Her nursing career took her through several communities in BC from Vancouver General to Ashcroft Hospital where she retired. Predeceased by her husband Alex, she is survived by her son Martin (Connie) and her daughter Kathleen (Brian), granddaughters Robin (Dustin), Maxine, Nicole and Heather as well as her cat Cali. Despite her disability, she was never one to give up and she was determined to keep her independence to the end. We extend a heartfelt thank you to staff at Kamloops Seniors Village where mom resided since 2011 as well as her care aides, past and present, the nurses of 4North at RIH and the caring staff at Hospice House. Service will be held in the spring.
Each and everyone of us wish you a from Dad, Shelley and Didier, Ken and Bonnie, Deb and Bryon, and all your grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Lyndsey Alexandra Snyder Lyndsey suddenly passed away at home in Kamloops on December 4, 2016. Born May 30, 1990, in Halifax, NS, Lyndsey was the daughter of John (wife Helen) and Cheryl Snyder, sister of Nick (wife Christen and son Declan), granddaughter of Barbara, a best friend to many, a dear loving soul and spirit now with GOD. Lyndsey graduated from nursing school with an honor roll degree in LPN studies. She always had a passion for elders with great respect and love; took that grace into practice working at The Hamlets and Ridgeview Extended Care Facility. Her love and laughter brought so much joy to the interim. Her care was always with a gentle hand as was her spirit. Lyndsey will always be remembered as a loving young woman with a passion for horses and animals in general. Her passion for nature, being in the outdoors and with her horse Havoc for 10 years and walking her little dog-the love of her life Suki. She always wore a smile and always tried to see the comical side of life. She loved her family and friends and was always there for others. Her true essence was always expressed in her beautiful smile and compassion. Lyndsey will always be remembered by ALL as a LEGACY of free spirit and love. Lyndsey’s Memorial and Celebration of Life will take place this Saturday, December 17th, 2016 at the Dallas Barnhartvale Baptist Church at 11:00 am with a luncheon and gathering extending to 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, gifts, baking or food, we will be setting up a legacy fund for all money donations for Lyndsey’s nephew Declan (one of the greatest joys in Lyndsey’s life). This will go towards his education in Auntie Lyndsey’s name. Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577

Obituaries & In Memoriam Walter George James Baker July 16th, 1928 - December 6th, 2016
Known to all as Jim, he was a loving husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, brother, uncle and friend to many. Jim is survived by his wife Eileen of 63 years, children Jim (Sue) of Shawnigan Lake, Carolyn (Bruce) of Osoyoos, Steve (Linette) of Victoria, grandchildren Sean, Nicole, Kristina, Philip, Stacey, Meghan, Kaitie and great-grandchildren Aislin, Sienna, Camryn, and Weston. He also leaves behind his beloved sister Alicia. A proud Canadian, he served in the Royal Canadian Air Force for 20 years. After leaving the military, he enjoyed a successful career as a Driver Examiner with the Motor Vehicle Branch. His career took the family from coast to coast moving 10 times settling in Kamloops in 1973. Dad was a social butterfly, charismatic, gregarious and a natural born storyteller. His wonderful sense of humour and friendly demeanour will be missed by all who were fortunate enough to know him. An active member of the Freemasons, Dad served his Lodge, Kamloops #10 with distinction both as Master and District Deputy Grand Master. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1:00 pm on December 18th, 2016 at the Kamloops Masonic Center, 351 Nicola St. Food and refreshments will follow.
Andrew “Andy” Clovechok Andrew “Andy” Clovechok passed away on December 09th, 2016 at the age of 93 at the Ponderosa Lodge, embraced by a team full of love. Andy was born on April 10, 1923 in Klokocor, Czechoslovakia to Michael and Julia Clovechok. The family immigrated to Canada and settled in Rosedale, Alberta in 1928. It was there, on the frozen ponds, wearing winter boots inside skates much too large, that he developed his love for hockey and also started a baseball career. Andy is survived by his loving family, wife Molly (in their 70th year of marriage), children Don (Eileen), Jane (Jerry), Terry (Jan), Eleanor Clovechok, seven grandchildren Brandon and Dion Nordoft, Deanna Ring, Kelsey Clovechok, Natalia, Emily and Clare Clovechok and his four precious great-grandchildren.
Carl c Eachen M November 10, 1919 December 14, 1991
After joining the Air Force and being stationed in Lethbridge, Andy went to Vancouver for a tryout with the Vancouver Canucks and had much success on the ice and off, capturing his “belle” Molly there. A successful career with the Edmonton Flyers followed, before settling in Kamloops in 1951, playing hockey for the Elks and later establishing himself as a self employed businessman. He was a community leader, founding father of Kamloops Minor Hockey and a passionate volunteer of countless hours in sports as a coach and umpire. Andy had a special gift that made him a pleasure to know and be around. His sense of humour, quick wit and engaging personality were with him daily. This is what allowed him to quickly stickhandle himself into the hearts of the staff at Ponderosa Lodge, where he lived his last four difficult months, without a word of complaint as he declined. Our family is overwhelmed by the amazing care and compassion the Angels at the Lodge provided for him ~ thank you so much!
For those who wish, a donation can be made to one his favourite projects The Kamloops Masonic Cancer Car Program (transporting patients to their cancer treatments).
Andy’s Memorial has been scheduled for 1:00 pm on Sunday, December 18th, 2016 at the Coast Hotel on Roger’s Way.

Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.
Dad...
Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray.
We miss you as much today as the day you passed away.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Canadian Tire Jumpstart, a charity “giving kids a sporting chance”.
Love your family.
But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

In Loving Memory of
EACH LOSS
buried
transported back to the Enterprise
Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.

Invest Well. Live Well.
Questions to Ask a Financial Advisor
3) What products do you offer? Currently, many firms and advisors are licensed with the Mutual Fund Dealers Association (MFDA). Often these individuals can only offer their firm's products thus limiting options and truly not offering an unbiased recommendation.
When we have the opportunity to meet with potential clients, we often are asked a wide range of questions. Some clients ask very pointed questions, while others admit they are not sure if they are asking the right questions. We feel some of the most important questions to ask your current or prospective advisor are listed below in no particular order:
Historically, the “Big Banks” acted as brokerages. Now they are known as Wealth Management offices and offer virtually all investment products: stocks, bonds, mutual funds, exchange traded funds (ETFs), alternative investments, commodities and insurance. Generally brokerages are not limited to offering their own products, thereby giving investors more choice and avoiding potential bias.
1) What services do you offer? An advisor should outline what his or her services include. How often will you meet? Will you get a financial or retirement plan? What reports will they provide? Do they offer additional services such as insurance or estate planning?
4) What fees will I pay? Regulators are working hard to ensure that costs are transparent. It is important for investors to understand all costs to investing and what they are getting in return. Are there any hidden or embedded fees and/or deferred sales charges, etc.? It can be worthwhile to ask what the fees are in terms of dollars and percentages.
2) How much money do you manage and how many clients do you have? We find most clients want to deal with an advisor who will be there for many years to come. This question will provide insight as to what their typical client looks like and if they have been successful. We feel it is prudent to know how well you fit within their target market or existing clientele.
5) How are you compensated? Today, there are many ways for advisors to make money: salary, commissions, bonuses and fee-based are some of the most common types. Our industry is moving more towards the fee-based model, where investors pay a fee as a percentage based on the assets they have with a firm. Typically services such as building and maintain portfolios, financial planning, and trading costs are included.
is removing hidden compensation. This aligns an investor's objectives with those of the advisor and can help remove potential product bias that may offer the advisor a larger commission. 6) What are your credentials? There are too many credentials and titles in our industry. However, it is worth knowing that the highest level is that of a Portfolio Manager who has a fiduciary duty to their clients. Similar to doctors and lawyers, they are legally bound to always put the clients' interests first. Another important credential we feel advisors should have is either the Certified Financial Planner® (CFP) or Personal Financial Planner (PFP) designation as this means they have completed substantial training and certification specific to financial planning. 7) What is your investment philosophy? Advisors should be able to explain their strategies in a simple way. For example, we put ours in writing “Our Investment Philosophy and 10 Core Beliefs”. Above all, you should feel comfortable with your advisor and that they are a good personality match. The best relationships are ones that people share their info, dreams, finances and build a partnership to achieving what truly matters to them and their family. The above questions are by no means exhaustive, but will hopefully help get a better understanding of the advisor(s) you are meeting with. Until Next time… Invest Well. Live Well
There are many reasons for the move towards fee-based compensation, among the most important

KTW newsroom staff recall some yuletide memories Dale Bass: Don’t remember the year, but the cousins and I were all young at the time. It was the big family gathering at my grandparents’ house. There were my five cousins and my sister and I. Loads of packages under the tree. Everyone relaxing, talking, just the usual warm fuzzy scene. No one noticed my one cousin plunk herself next to the tree and proceed to take off every single tag on each present. Jessica Klymchuk: One year, my cousins and I plotted to catch Santa in the act. We made it barely halfway up the stairs before we were sent back to bed. It might have been the same year I convinced my mother to admit the truth about the Easter Bunny. It’s probably not my most sentimental Christmas memory — likely not my parents’ favourite — but the thought makes me laugh. Andrea Klassen: Drinking like four mimosas in a row at 10 a.m. on Christmas morning and then napping through the rest of the holiday. 10/10, would recommend. Dave Eagles: Just days before Christmas was to arrive, my mother and sister headed out in the family station wagon to go shopping for gifts. For some reason, I snuck into the back of the station wagon, hiding under a blanket.
As they began talking about the gifts they were planning to buy for me, I immediately was filled with guilt and remorse for listening in on their secret plans. I broke down and revealed my hiding spot, much to their great surprise and disappointment. Adam Williams: It’s not exactly from Christmas Day, but one of my lasting memories from the season came during the 2010 World Junior Championship in Regina. It’s a family tradition that all the guys in my family get together to watch the tournament’s games every Christmas. 2010 was the year Jordan Eberle took the tournament over, scoring twice in the final 1:35 of the championship game against the United States to force overtime. Canada eventually lost the game, settling for silver, but watching that game live is,
to this day, one of my favourite moments in sport. Jessica Wallace: Disneyland Christmas. We were excited to wear shorts in December in California and eager to get “Mickey Mouse” penned into a Disney autograph book. A few things come to mind, beyond the princesses and castles. My mom and brother had been in a car accident before our trip and my parents spent much of their time dodging glances, due to my little brother donning two big black eyes under his ball cap, the result of his head hitting the dash of the passenger side seat. The optics weren’t great, which my dad still laments to this day. On Christmas Day, we wandered the palm tree-lined streets searching for somewhere to eat dinner and ended up in a desolate Denny’s buffet, missing family
back home. My parents vowed we’d never go away for Christmas again and we haven’t. A few years ago, I found that autograph book. We’d asked Santa to add his John Henry to the collection of Disney characters. Suddenly, Jolly Ol’ St. Nick’s penmanship looked suspiciously like dad’s. Christopher Foulds: When I think of Christmas, the memories sort of mesh into a collage of sorts, with my kid Christmas memories sharing space with recent memories with my own family. So, it would be one, long, bizarre dreamlike memory encompassing my mom smoking Export A Plain cigarettes and sipping on her vodka and tonic at the kitchen nook, calling to one of her six kids and using every other child’s name before finally nailing the correct one, all while Elvis belts out songs from
his Blue Christmas album — vinyl, of course, spinning on the impossibly huge and heavy wooden stereo sitting on the electric blue carpet in the living room. The memory would include a cramped 1970s kitchen filled with too many people drinking and smoking and eating and laughing and trying to be heard above Waylon and Willie warbling from the stereo. The memory would include my daughter squealing with delight when opening her gift of a Hannah Montana wig and my son losing his mind when the wrapping revealed a Toronto Maple Leafs jersey. The memory also always include the cinema staples of a decent Christmas: Elf, A Christmas Story, Christmas Vacation and Four Christmases. Tim Petruk: Family gift exchanges getting out of hand. Marty Hastings: I can’t say one memory in particular stands out, but opening presents with my mother, father and sister on Christmas morning was special, even more so now that our family dynamic has changed and will never be the same again. Once the wrapping paper was cleaned up, my mom, Sharon, would serve a mammoth breakfast. Then it was time for Don Cherry’s Rock’em Sock’em, which used to arrive annually in my stocking.

Pritchard family given award for farming The Turner family in Pritchard have been honoured with a Century Farm Award. The award, presented by the provincial government, recognizes the family-run farm for over a century of contribution to the provincial economy and British Columbia’s agricultural history. The farm has been in the Turner family for more than 100 years and is today run by Harold, Shirley, Cody and Tamara Turner. When George William (Bill) Turner immigrated to
Canada from England, he homesteaded the ranch land and was granted the land in the community east of Kamloops in February 1913. He worked the land with his brother Thomas and his family. After serving in the Second World War, Thomas’ son, John Thomas (Jack) Turner, returned home to Duck Range and purchased the land from his uncle Bill. Jack formed a partnership with his brother Ted and worked the land until his death in 1976. Jack’s wife Audrey and
her family farmed with Ted until his death in 1985. Audrey and her son Harold continued to carry on the Turner family’s ranching tradition. In 1988, Harold married Shirley. They had two children, Cody and Tamara, both having a keen interest in agriculture. In 1995, they formed the company, Turner Ranch Ltd. Today, Harold and Shirley, along with Cody, raise cattle and grow hay. The Century Farm award program was created in 1994 to mark the centennial of the Ministry of Agriculture.

FRAME ADVICE AS HELPFUL, NEUTRAL
with Santa
H
ave you ever held a conversation with an employee, or even a prospect, when they suddenly, and for no apparent reason, became unreceptive to perfectly good advice? Sometimes after we offer advice or insight from our own personal and organizational experience, we find ourselves in a conversation that loses momentum or stops altogether. So, what happened in these exchanges? Typically, the good advice we offer in these situations sounds something like this, “The problem is, Jim, you aren’t conducting assessment surveys on your new hires. “You should incorporate a simple online questionnaire into your hiring process. Then I bet your turnover numbers would start to go down.” Your employee or prospect may not respond well to a message like that. Why? Because we’re telling him what he should do — and that message is not likely to be a welcome one, no matter how much experience we have that backs it up. We’re telling Jim what he’s doing right now isn’t what he should be doing. Even though our advice is sound and well intentioned, it’s

likely Jim will interpret what we’ve put forward as an unwelcome message of judgment. This is one of the big reasons employees and prospects shut down communications with others. Messages that state judgment or bias about what is right or wrong, good or bad, what one should or shouldn’t do and what is acceptable and what isn’t are likely to trigger emotional responses from the listener. Those responses can range from compliance (which may carry with it some degree of resentment) to rebellion, neither of which are desirable or conducive to the rapport and trust you are working to establish in a discussion. Rather than tell someone what to do or how to act, frame the message around a helpful suggestion or point for consideration. For example: Judgmental help: “You should . . .” “You may find more value in . . .”
“You should have . . .” “Had you considered . . .” “You shouldn’t . . .” “It might not help to . . .” “Don’t do . . .” “You may want to consider.” “You missed the point. Have you considered?” “Listen to me. May I suggest?” Instead consider saying to Jim, “In addition to what you’re doing now, Jim, you might find value in conducting some basic assessment surveys on your new hires. “If you were to incorporate a simple online questionnaire into your hiring process, those high turnover numbers might start to go down.” Consider framing your advice as a helpful, neutral partner, someone who avoids judgmental messages. Using this approach, you may well find it’s easier to keep the conversation moving forward, easier to make your advice accessible, easier to keep the employee or prospect engaged.

Indigenous forest industry looks to Pacific Rim TOM FLETCHER

One of a series of articles on the future of the B.C. forest industry. You can find the series in the business section online at kamloopsthisweek. com or by searching for the hashtag #BCForestFuture on Facebook or Twitter. NATORI CITY, JAPAN — If there is one certainty about the future of the B.C. forest industry, it is the growing participation of indigenous people whose traditional territories take in most of the Crown land in the province. Aboriginal leaders assumed responsibility for ecosystem-based harvesting in the Great Bear Rainforest agreement, mapping out protected areas with the B.C. government.

TOM FLETCHER/BLACK PRESS Terry Teegee of the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council tours a library rebuilt after the 2011 Japan tsunami, Natori City, Nov. 28, 2016.
And, around the province, more than 100 forest harvest licences have been assigned to aboriginal communities as a step toward treaties. An aboriginal leader joined the province’s
annual forest industry trade mission to Asia, where cultural ties and business are intertwined by long tradition. Terry Teegee is a registered professional forester, a member of
the Takla Lake First Nation and tribal chief of the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, representing eight reserve communities in the Prince George area. He spoke with Black Press as he toured a pub-
lic library built with Canada Wood, B.C. and Canadian government sponsorship to replace one wiped out by the 2011 tsunami that devastated the east coast of Japan. “I’m here to assist the province in terms of promoting B.C. forest products, Canadian forest products, which we’re very much involved with because we hold tenures, we have companies,” Teegee said. “We do have ownership of mills. That’s what basically drives our economy too.” Carrier Sekani member communities run logging companies to supply fibre to mills. Burns Lake Native Development Corp. is partner with Oregonbased Hampton Affiliates in Babine Forest Products, whose sawmill was rebuilt after a devastating fire
in 2012. After Oregon-based Pope & Talbot went bankrupt in 2007, a new company called Conifex took over its sawmills at Fort St. James and later Mackenzie. Conifex CEO Ken Shields said the company has unique relationships with aboriginal communities. When the company restarted the Fort St. James operation in 2008, the Nak’azdli, Tl’azt’en and Takla Lake First Nations were original shareholders as well as employees. When the company took over the Mackenzie operations in 2010, it made commercial arrangements with the three communities in the harvest area, Kwadacha, Tsay Keh Dene and the McLeod Lake Indian Band, which has its own logging and con-
struction companies. Conifex buys roadbuilding timbers from the small mill at Kwadacha and sponsors education programs in Kwadacha and Tsay Keh Dene, both remote communities on Williston Lake. Conifex started up a 36-megawatt biomass power plant at its Mackenzie facilities last year. The company is shifting to process more balsam and spruce as the supply of lodgepole pine declines due to beetle impact, said Hans Thur, vice-president of sales and marketing. Japan is Conifex’s third-largest market by volume and buys high-quality lumber, Thur said. Lower-grade pine is currently sold to Chinese buyers, with stiff competition from Russia where the ruble has been devalued.

B.C.’s tall trees help restore Japan’s tall ship TOM FLETCHER

tfletcher@blackpress.ca
One of a series of articles on the future of the B.C. forest industry. You can find the series in the business section online at kamloopsthisweek. com or by searching for the hashtag #BCForestFuture on Facebook or Twitter. MIYAGI, JAPAN — When the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami devastated coastal areas around Fukushima in 2011, one area struck was the San Juan Bautista Museum, breaking the masts of a reconstructed Spanish sailing ship from the 17th Century. A symbol of Japan’s earliest outreach to the world and its recovery from an equally devastating tsunami 400 years before, restoring the ship and museum was a priority for the local government of Miyagi Prefecture. But Japan had no trees big enough to replace the masts. As part of the Canadian and B.C. government and forest industry’s efforts to contribute to recovery, the ship project was added to a school, public library and other projects using donated wood and the latest construction techniques. Western Forest Products located Douglas fir and cedar trees in the Port Alberni area and delivered them to Japan, allowing the ship and museum to reopen in 2013. An industry delegation led by B.C. Forests Minister Steve Thomson visited the project on Nov. 26 as
part of a trade mission to Japan and China. • Another Miyagi project constructed with B.C. wood is the Donguri Anne Library For Everyone, giving a safe haven and community centre for the residents of Natori City, after it was devastated by the force-nine earthquake and a wall of water that reached 12 metres high in some coastal areas in December, 2011. The community is still undergoing reconstruction and the cozy library with its rich cedar scent is a comfort for parents and children, said Natori Mayor Shiro Yamada. It was named for the acorn, a symbol of regeneration, and Anne of Green Gables, a Canadian literary figure beloved by the Japanese. The library has a “Canadian corner” with books on Canada, and Yamada has sent his children to study at Journey Middle School in Sooke as part of a school exchange program with Natori. The library uses hybrid heavy timber post-and-beam construction with a two-by-four infill wall system and oriented strand-board sheathing, designed to maximize earthquake resistance. The project also includes new buildings for a destroyed public market, where the tsunami smashed a community of more than 5,000 people and left 1,000 dead. It is a project of Canada Wood Group, financed by Natural Resources Canada, the provinces of B.C. and Alberta and the Canadian forest industry.

Seven-year-old Crawford Williams (top) needs help from mom to make sure toys don’t come tumbling back out of the over-stuffed RCMP car during Saturday’s annual Stuff the Cruiser event at Walmart. Eight-year-old twins Sapphire & Amethyst Guschermann (bottom right) also helped out. The local detachment was at Walmart and Toys ‘R Us, collecting toys and other items for the Christmas Amalgamated charity. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said 12 cruisers were stuffed by generous Kamloops residents, who donated toys and clothes and $1,700 in cash and gift cards. Also taking part in the event were the BC Sheriffs Service, RCMP auxiliaries, RCMP Victim Services, Wishing Well Parties & Events, singer Madison Olds and The Safety Bear mascot.
Blue Christmas services planned this month
C
hristmas isn’t always a merry time for people and, this year, four churches are acknowledging that reality. Blue Christmas services are planned this month, said Bruce Comrie, minister at Kamloops United Church. It’s a time to recognize loss, he said, a reality that could come from a death, a health condition, work issues, unemployment, relationship breakdowns or just basic stress. “Sometimes, people
feel exasperated at this time of year, with all the emphasis on family, traditions, happiness,” Comrie said. “This is a way of recognizing that they’re not alone in that feeling. It’s a way of validating it, acknowledging it. “If your inner feeling is different than what you’re expected to portray to the world, it can be difficult.” The services include some relevant scripture and other readings. Muted and calming music plays and candles can be lit,
Comrie said, a simple act that for many participants is the most important moment in the 40-minute non-denominational service. “It’s a way of honouring something or someone. It could even be the loss of a pet. It’s a symbol of hope, a reminder that we can move through the darkness, move from pain and grief to a greater light,” Comrie said. People are invited to stay afterward for refreshments and conversation. Most do, he said, even if they just sit
and stare at the table of candles. “That is pretty impressive, seeing 40 or 50 candles all glowing,” Comrie said. The next service is on Monday, Dec. 19, at Hills of Peace Lutheran Church, 695 Robson Dr. in Sahali. The final service is on Thursday, Dec. 22, at the North Shore Community Centre, 730 Cottonwood Ave. on the North Shore. It is presented by Mt. Paul United and St. George’s Anglican churches and C&C Resources for Life. Each service starts at 7 p.m.

hristmas and Chanukah may get the bulk of the attention come December, but the final month of the year includes other religious holidays as well. The following are just a few of the religious celebrations taking place this holiday season. • Feast of Saint Nicholas: Typically falling on December 6, the Feast of Saint Nicholas, or Saint Nicholas Day, is a festival for children in many European countries. In commemoration of Saint Nicholas, gift-giving occurs in some countries on his feast day, while some countries’ celebrations are more low-key. Children are typically the recipients of gifts, and the legend of Saint Nicholas, whose reputation as a gift-giver was widely known during his lifetime, is said to have inspired the idea of Santa Claus. • Bodhi Day: A holiday that commemorates the day Buddha received enlightenment, Bodhi Day is typically celebrated on the 8th day of the 12th lunar month. Bodhi Day is celebrated in many Buddhist countries and communities, and many celebrants choose to meditate in commemoration.

WORSHIP DIRECTORY
DECEMBER PLAYS HOST TO MANY RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS 11:00am Every Sunday • Feast of the Immaculate Conception: This feast, which is celebrated on December 8, celebrates the belief in the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is a celebration of the belief that Mary was kept free of original sin from the moment of her conception. The day is a Holy Day of Obligation within the Catholic Church. • Chanukah: Some may instantly associate Chanukah with exchanging gifts, but this wellknown December holiday is not a celebration of giving and receiving gifts, but a commemoration of the rededication of the Holy Temple in Jerusalem during the Maccabean Revolt. Also known as the Festival of Lights, Chanukah is celebrated for eight nights and days, and in some years can begin in late November. • Christmas: Celebrated every year on December 25 (though some Orthodox Christians use a different calendar and celebrate on a different day), Christmas commemorates the birth of Jesus Christ. Traditions associated with Christmas include attending Christmas Mass, decorating for the holiday and exchanging gifts with family and friends. Once celebrated strictly by Christians, the holiday is now celebrated by Christians and non-Christians alike and includes both religious and secular traditions.

Santa Claus is coming to Your Independent Grocer

Four-year-old Addisyn Sawka from Calgary took time out from visiting her grandparents Kamloops to see Santa Claus at Brock Shopping Centre on Saturday. The Jolly Old Elf travelled a bit farther than young Addisyn, flying in from the North Pole to meet boys and girls on the North Shore. Santa will land his sleigh at Northills Centre this coming weekend.
hen Jason Cain learned scheduling problems meant Santa Claus was potentially going to miss stopping at Northills Centre this season, the fan of all things Christmas emulated the hardestworking elf at the North Pole. As a result, Cain, owner/operator of Your Independent Grocer in the North Shore mall, has secured Santa’s appearance for all the boys and girls. “They had some things going on and it looked like there would be no Santa this year,” Cain said of mall management challenges. “I felt we needed to do something to keep Santa a part of the season.” Plenty of discussions with Santa’s scheduling people in the North Pole
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
led Cain to confirming Old Saint Nick will be in Northills, right in front of Your Independent Grocer, on Saturday, Dec. 17, and Sunday, Dec. 18. The Jolly Old Elf will be sitting comfy in his sleigh from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day to greet Kamloops kids — and kids at heart. For parents wishing to capture the magical moment when their children meets Santa, Cain said he decided to make it a take-your-own-photo event, so parents and others are free to bring cameras or cellphones and snap away for no charge. As a bonus, every child who visits Santa will walk away with a delicious candy cane. Northills Centre is at Fortune Drive and Nelson Avenue.
ANOTHER WAY TO CONTACT SANTA Every year, post offices across the world are flooded with letters from kids addressed to Santa Claus. Canada Post is the agency contracted
by Santa’s North Pole office to receive and process the letters before forwarding them to the man in red. So, if you wish to mail Santa a letter,
See You Soon! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Santa's coming to
Cain’s Saturday, December 17 & Sunday, December 18 • 11am-5pm
Santa will be inside Northills Centre, next to Cain's Grocers. Take your Free pictures with Santa. Bring the kids and your camera! (No photographer available). NORTHILLS MALL - #49 - 700 Tranquille Road Kamloops | 250-312-3323 | 8am-10pm Every Day
