Stone defends B.C. in trade battle

U.S. LAUNCHES ACTION AGAINST B.C-ONLY WINE SALES IN GROCERY STORES

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone is defending the province’s decision to allow B.C.-only wine to be sold in select grocery stores in the face of what critics said was inevitable trade action from the United States. As one of its final acts, the Barack Obamaled United States government announced Wednesday it has launched trade-enforcement action against the grocery store sales program that it says discriminates against American wineries. It has filed a dispute notice under World Trade Organization’s dispute settlement process. “The discriminatory regulations implemented by British Columbia intentionally undermine free and fair competition and appear to breach Canada’s commitment as a WTO member,” U.S. Trade representative Michael Froman said in a statement. “Canada and all the Canadian provinces, including B.C., must play by the rules.”

Government was warned

Opposition New Democrats and others — including Kamloops Coun. Denis Walsh — warned the B.C. Liberal government it was running afoul of trade rules when it allowed B.Conly wine on select grocery store shelves. There are now 12 such locations in B.C., including the Sahali Save-On-Foods store in Kamloops. That licence was approved by the city following a bitter fight by advocates and opponents. “We’re very proud of our wineries in Kamloops and across the province,” Stone told KTW. “They result in thousands of jobs and are a good reason the economy is as good as it is.” Stone said tens of thousands of residents told his government during its consultations they wanted wine available on grocery store shelves. Rather than opt for the store-within-a-store model that would allow international wines, however, grocers have elected to offer B.C.-only wine on their shelves. Stone said the province embarked on the program confident it could defend it if necessary. He also acknowledged B.C. and the rest of the country appear0 to be entering a more protectionist era, including with softwood lumber. “There may be other sectors subject to U.S. trade sanctions. Our job is to stand up and defend the interest of our communities.” The B.C. government noted B.C.-only wine sales account for 17 per cent of consumption. While the 12 grocery stores are restricted to B.C.-only wines, the number of stores selling imported booze numbers 1,100.

Save-On-Foods in Sahali added B.C. wine to its shelves in October.

Program has boosted sales

Ed Collett, who with wife Vicki owns Harper’s Trail winery in east Kamloops, said the program has been an important sales generator for his winery along the South Thompson River. “With Save-On, there’s been a really good increase in sales,” he said, calling the new retail opportunity “fantastic.” Harper’s Trail wines are in 11 Save-On-Foods locations, from White Rock to Prince George. “Everything [all liquor store sales] included, we’re up 35 to 40 per cent over the year before,” he said.

U.S. complaint is serious

Canadian trade expert Peter Clark said the U.S. complaint is serious and “definitely worth fighting.’’ He said Canada has several counter-arguments to the U.S. complaint, including pointing out many small wine producers in the U.S. are granted subsidies to stay in business. Those subsidies can make up to 90 per cent of their volume sales. But Clark said he is concerned the U.S. action could result in widespread changes to Canadian wine sales and distribution. The action could also see international wines, and not just wines from California, end up in Canadian grocery stores. “If you get [a ruling] for the U.S., it’s going to be there for Europe,’’ Clark said in a telephone

interview from Ottawa. “It’s going to be there for everybody because the WTO operates on a non-discriminatory basis. It’s something to take very seriously.’’ Acting U.S. Agriculture Secretary Michael Scuse said in B.C., local wines get an unfair advantage because they can be sold on grocery store shelves, while U.S. wines cannot. “The United States simply seeks equal opportunities to market our wines, consistent with Canada’s international obligations.’’ The U.S. has sent a letter to the Canadian government, asking for consultations as a first step toward resolving the dispute. If that fails, the U.S. said it may request the WTO establish a dispute settlement panel. The trade action follows on the heels of a California Wine Institute complaint to the USTR on Oct. 27 that called B.C.’s wine regulations “blatantly discriminatory.” However, according to the provincial government, the B.C. wine on shelves model will never see more than 60 partners. The liquor licences that are in these grocery stores are the same VQA licences that have existed in B.C. for years. B.C. NDP MLA David Eby said the dispute could have a huge impact on B.C.’s wine industry. “It was so obvious this was going to happen and that the trade challenge would be successful against this plan,’’ he said. B.C. amended legislation in April 2015 to allow wine sales in grocery stories and held an auction for licences about a year later. — with files from The Canadian Press

5 REASONS TO THINK TWICE about adding a child as a joint owner of your assets

Joint ownership is traditionally used between spouses for family property such as a home or bank account. However, placing assets into joint names between a parent and adult child is an increasingly common method of “do it yourself ” estate planning. While this sort of joint ownership has some advantages, there are a lot of unexpected pitfalls that you should be aware of:

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

SMASH-UP AMID SLUSHY CONDITIONS

Firefighters and paramedics arrive at the scene of a two-vehicle accident on Tuesday afternoon at the intersection of Notre Dame and Dalhousie drives in the Southgate area. Warming conditions have led to daytime melt, followed by evening freezing, creating slippery sections across the city. It is the time of year to drive with caution.

1. Loss of control – by putting your child on title, you give your child veto power over how to deal with the asset.

Mountie charged with assault CAM FORTEMS AND TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops police officer has been charged with domestic assault. RCMP Const. Kris Reinburg is facing one count of assault stemming from an alleged incident on Dec. 19. The charge was sworn against the 38-year-old on Tuesday, the same day he testified in the B.C. Supreme Court trial of a Kamloops man facing firearms charges. During a court appearance last month, Crown prosecutor Juan O’Quinn said the allegation is that Reinburg struck his wife, who is also a Mountie, with a closed fist, with a young child between them.

He was placed on a no-contact order and can only contact his wife by email or text messages for the purpose of discussing finances or child care. In court, Reinburg said he moved into the basement suite of the family’s home for financial reasons — something that was unknown to the Crown until it was brought up in court. Reinburg is on paid administrative leave. In addition to the criminal charges, RCMP brass have launched a code-of-conduct investigation into his alleged actions. Reinburg is slated to return to Kamloops provincial court on Feb. 23. Another Kamloops RCMP constable, Mike Muller, also has outstanding criminal charges. He is facing one count each of

assault and causing a disturbance stemming from an alleged incident at a Sahali fast-food restaurant in April. Lawyers are expected to meet on Feb. 20 to fix a date for Muller’s trial. Like Reinburg, Muller is also on paid leave. Randi Love, who resigned from her job as a Kamloops RCMP constable last year amid a drug investigation, will be sentenced today after pleading guilty to one count of possession of cocaine. She had originally been charged with three counts of trafficking cocaine. Love, who was at one point the Kamloops detachment’s mediarelations officer, is expected to be placed on a year-long probation term. Provincial court Judge James Threlfall will decide whether Love will be left with a criminal record.

2. Exposure to child’s creditors – if your child runs up debts, creditors could look to your property to pay those debts. 3. Tax consequences – you could lose part of your homeowners grant, your child could become liable to pay tax on investment income in a joint account, or you could be considered to have given away ½ of your asset, triggering tax for you. 4. Lack of beneﬁt – if you have any other assets that are not held jointly, your estate may have to pay probate fees even on those assets that are joint, meaning you have taken risk for no beneﬁt. 5. Disputes after death – if there are multiple children, joint ownership with one child is ripe for divisive family disputes, years of acrimony, and wasted dollars on litigation.

TYSON McNEIL-HAY Wills & Estates Lawyer Fulton & Company LLP

If you are considering using joint ownership as a form of estate planning – and even if you have already done so – legal advice can help to avoid these pitfalls, or at least reduce the risks.

Asbestos

From WorkSafe BC - “Asbestos kills,” says Al Johnson, WorkSafeBC’s vice president of Prevention Services. “The relatively low level of awareness by homeowners regarding the dangers posed by asbestos means workers and even family members can potentially be put at risk. Renovations and demolitions of older properties continue at a very high rate and homeowners need to be informed about the dangerous nature of asbestos and how to protect workers and themselves.” In homes built before 1990, asbestos can potentially be found in more than 3,000 building materials such as linoleum, wall board and filling compound, textured ceilings, vermiculite insulation, pipe insulation, in furnaces or wiring, as well as many other places. Asbestos can be released into the air when these building materials are drilled, sawed, sanded or broken up during a renovation or demolition. Service Master has fully qualified technicians to test and abate asbestos containing materials.

DEAR MR. PRESIDENT Today in Washington, D.C., Donald Trump will be sworn in as the 45th president of the United States of America. We asked a cross-section of Kamloopsians what they would say to the incoming president if they were given five minutes of his time.

“You are about to lead a country with a long tradition of individual liberty and democracy, from the Declaration of Independence to the U.S. Bill of Rights. “We must ask you now as president-elect to change course on certain campaign promises you have made. You promised to deport 11-million undocumented immigrants, ban the entry of Muslims and institute aggressive surveillance programs targeting them, restrict a woman’s right to reproductive services, use waterboarding and

other forms of torture and restrict freedom of expression. “Your campaign has unleashed racism, discrimination, coarseness and division. You have mocked the disabled and disadvantaged, those that look different. Your economic policies and cabinet appointments of plutocrats and billionaires is far removed from understanding the needs and priorities of the poor, working and middle class, of women and minorities. These proposals are not simply wrong-headed. They are unlawful and

unconstitutional, and contrary as well as other statutes and international treaties. They are unAmerican and unworthy of a great country. Sadly, America is not the leader it once was on rule of law and democracy. Your slogan was Make America Great Again. Respect for human rights and democracy would be a step in this direction.” — Bill Sundhu Kamloops lawyer and former federa NDP candidate “The Hebrew prophets of the past spoke truth to power.

“I would hope to do the same in speaking personally with Mr. Trump. “First, I would urge him to resign for the peace of the nations, the health of the planet and for his own sake. “He simply doesn’t have the character, temperament or ethics to be president. Doubting he would resign, I would tell him to stop lying, bullying and fanning the flames of fear, hatred and division. “I would tell him that I will stand with the minorities he threatens and join with others to resist injustice.

LOCAL NEWS “From a Christian faith perspective (a faith he claims to share), I would remind him that everyone is a beloved child of God and that every person deserves to be treated with dignity and have their human rights respected.” — Rev. Bruce Comrie lead minister Kamloops United Church “Do you consider America an integral part of Global Civilization? “Would we ever have the same opportunity to see the sober, polite and graceful Trump, as seen at the president-elect’s winning speech? “Would you continue to invest in business deals with your business partners in the Middle East? “What would be your top priority that can benefit the region, including America, if you are given a chance to leave NAFTA?” Faisal Siddiqui president Kamloops Islamic Association “As the member of Parliament for KamloopsThompson-Cariboo, I would ask the president to first look at the softwood lumber agreement between our two countries. The prospect of duties being levied will severely affect forestry communities and workers not only in my riding, but across British Columbia. “I would remind him that in the past, the International Trade Tribunal has ruled in Canada’s favour and that we should just fast forward to the negotiating table. The past 10 years of the agreement has not only provided certainty, but mutual prosperity for both our countries. “Further, I would highlight the fact that

MORE ONLINE Go to kamloopsthisweek. com to read more comments on Donald Trump from Kamloops residents. NAFTA is a highly successful agreement between Canada and the U.S,, worth $800 billion in trade and that our economies are highly integrated. That said, any suggestion of a border adjustment tax on Canadian exports would not be in either of our best interests. “Finally, I’m encouraged by his commitment to job creation. Since our economies are so closely aligned, their success can only help our economy, despite our Liberal government’s efforts to put us into debt by $1.5 trillion by 2050.” Cathy McLeod, MP Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo “For winning a long, difficult campaign, congratulations. It is a remarkable achievement to be president. “Yet, I must temper that by telling you that I disagree with almost all your policies. You won by exploiting racism and fear. “My advice? What got you there will not make you effective. Get off Twitter, please. Don’t be so thin-skinned. Your most vocal critic is your best advisor.” Dan Hines, Green candidate, Kamloops-North Thompson “I was always told that if you can’t say something nice, you shouldn’t say anything at all.” — Jay Michi defence lawyer “One of the things that’s been looming for us is softwood lumber.

“We beg for an open mind on trade agreements and their benefits and long-term goals. “Benefits on both sides of the border, as opposed to a singleminded protectionist attitude. “That would be the big thing from our perspective.” — Jim Anderson, executive director Venture Kamloops “I don’t even know if I would have a conversation with the guy. I am participating in the women’s march this Saturday. “I feel that Trump was on his best behaviour during his campaign and I feel that, if that was his best behaviour, I am more than a little nervous for the future of the world. “In talking with friends, it’s really galvanized what we do believe in: promotion of diversity, acceptance, giving people a safe place to be if they’re leaving their war-torn countries, the knowledge of people who are aboriginal, we are all immigrants, promoting kindness, peace, safety and acceptance of all people, including women, anyone from any culture and any sexual orientation, too. “You might say I don’t agree with Trump’s politics. I think dialogue is really important, but from what I’ve seen with Trump, I don’t see a lot of hope for dialogue and I don’t see a lot of openness in his politics.” — Kathy Sinclair (speaking personally, not on behalf of the Kamloops Arts Council) “A leader is responsible for the most vulnerable in society and, in order to find out what these people need, you to have to start by listening.

“I don’t see that Mr. Trump is doing that, so I’d ask that he start listening to the people that are most vulnerable in society.” — Nancy Bepple NDP candidate Kamloops-South Thompson

VIEWPOINT

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK is a politically independent newspaper, published Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. in Kamloops, B.C. V2C 5P6 Ph: 250-374-7467 | Fax: 250-374-1033 e-mail: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:

HOT: What else but the inauguration today of Donald J. Trump as the 45th president of the United States of America. We can be assured media coverage will be intense as Trump takes the oath of office amid a predicted plethora of protests. As a Canadian Press story noted in yesterday’s edition of KTW, Trump enters the White House saddled with the lowest voter approval rating ever recorded of any incoming president. The new leader of the free world has even prompted some people in Kamloops to join the Women’s March on Washington. The main event takes place in Washington, D.C., with about 200,000 participants expected. The satellite march in Kamloops begins tomorrow at 10 a.m. at city hall.

OUR

VIEW

NOT: The stability of the provincial government’s B.C.-wine only policy on shelves of grocery stores. Victoria was warned by a number of people and groups that offering such exclusivity could prompt a trade challenge from the United States with respect to free trade deals. This week, that trade challenge was issued. While the B.C. Liberals vow to fight the issue, local wineries have to be a bit nervous when thinking about the future of such sales. HOT: Young Mitchell Coxon of Kamloops, who has been named BC Baseball’s 13-and-under 2016 player of the year. The Kamloops Minor Baseball Association product was a key member of the peewee AAA team that won a pair of provincial championships and competed at nationals last year. Well done, Mitchell.

System primed for corruption

hile protests will rage today and through the weekend in D.C. and across America as Donald Trump becomes the 45th U.S, president, British Columbia has not escaped the spotlight on political controversy. The New York Times’ recent exposé on the ridiculously outdated political donor rules in B.C. has been rightly highlighted by those who agree the “Wild West of Canadian political cash” needs an overhaul. The Times’ piece did not reveal anything that hasn’t been covered by media throughout the province, but it certainly succeeded in reaching a broader audience and reigniting the debate. The article noted Premier Christy Clark gets paid $50,000 annually from B.C. Liberal Party donations over and above the $195,000 she earns as leader of the province. It noted conflict of interest commissioner Paul Fraser has never found a government official to be in violation of the province’s Conflict of Interest Act. It also noted Fraser has contributed financially to the party and that his son works for Clark as a deputy minister. If the system is not corrupt, it is at least seen to be corrupt and exists in such a way as to easily breed corruption. The problems are clear and have been for some time. When the premier secretly hosts private meetings at

MUSINGS which donors hand over obscene amounts of money, the transaction is done because the donor wants something from government. Rather than adopt common sense and have MLAs and party officials call for B.C. to get in line with the federal government and other provinces by revamping donor rules, we instead get Deputy Premier Rich Coleman defending a murky system by calling the Times story “laughable.” Instead of addressing the salient points, Coleman criticizes the political spending habits of the Unites States. The problem is we live in B.C., not the U.S. Is there not a single B.C. Liberal candidate with spine enough to do the right thing and speak out against a tainted donor system? Are they all that desperate to please the premier and get elected, with a cabinet post and cushy pension then in reach? The system is screwed up enough for me to write about it back in September.

The topic was a local B.C. Liberal fundraiser that turned into farce when KGHM Ajax — the company that needs B.C. Liberal approval to build a copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen — was forced by bad optics to take back the winning $7,900 bid to have dinner with local MLAs and cabinet ministers Todd Stone and Terry Lake. In 2016, the B.C. Liberals raised $12.5 million, about $8 million of which came from corporations, of which a few likely got the chance to break bread with the premier — a date not afforded the great unwashed with pockets that have been emptied by increasing government fees of all kinds. As mentioned in a previous column, the fix is simple. Ban all political donations. Replace that funding source (which is already paid for by taxpayers via tax deductions) with a government program (perhaps based on per vote subsidy or across-the-board lump sum campaign cash for all qualifying parties) and force parties to manage with less. Or, at the very least, follow the lead of Ottawa, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia, all of which have banned corporate and union donations to political parties and restricted contributions by individuals. Alas, greed and power are hurdles hard to overcome, as has been evident in B.C. this entire century. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

WILD WEST OF POLITICS — ONLY IN B.C. Editor: Wild West of politics, Banana Republic, Third World politics, plutocracy (government by the rich) and corporatocracy (government by corporations). All the above terms have been used to describe the politics of our B.C. government, as is evidenced by the following: • Fundraising events where invitees pay up to $10,000 to speak

with the premier; • Stipends of $277,000 above and beyond the salary of $195,000 paid to the premier since 2011 by funds from the B.C. Liberal Party; • The conflict of interest commissioner, Paul Fraser, who has donated to the B.C. Liberal Party and whose son is a provincial deputy minister, ruled the stipends accepted by the premier do not contravene the Conflict of Interests Act;

• Real-estate developers and corporations, foreign and domestic, have donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to the B.C. Liberal Party. Through 2016, Kinder Morgan and supporters of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, donated $718,000; • Imperial Metals, another donor of significant amounts to the B.C. Liberals, is up and running after being responsible for the largest envi-

ronmental disaster in the province’s history; • An Asian immigration consultant accused by the B.C. Securities Commission of defrauding Chinese immigrant investors of $6.9 million has donated $67,000 to the B.C. Liberal cause; • The cancellation of the fall session of the legislature by Premier Christy Clark has given the B.C. Liberals time to host nine fundraising galas.

Despite its being aware of donation limits and controls by the federal government and many other provincial governments, the B.C. Liberals continue to elicit and accept donations without limits from corporations and wealthy individuals, foreign and domestic, with the implied expectation of favours in return. Only in B.C. Art Johnson Kamloops

TRUMP NOW PRESIDENT, BETTER GET USED TO IT Editor: U.S. president-elect Donald Trump will be inaugurated today. Regardless of anybody’s political musings or their interest in the media’s ad nauseam gossip and fake news about Trump, we need to acknowledge he is no longer the producer, the actor or the billionaire we once could freely enjoy insulting.

He now represents 62-million Americans (the number of people who voted for him), so get used to it — he is the next president of the United States. Consider this French phrase: “Lèse-majesté” (injured majesty). It is the legal term for the crime of speaking or acting against the dignity of a nation’s leader. Many European countries

have penal codes that provide fines or minimum five-year prison sentences for lèse-majesté. The raison d’être for this law? If you publicly insult a nation’s ruler, you insult the state and all the citizens it represents. It may not be against the law in Canada or the U.S.; however, it is certainly past proper decorum

SHAME ON CITY COUNCIL Editor: Re: KTW’s article of Jan. 17 (‘KGHM Ajax, city talks resume’): Shame on city council if it’s even considering an agreement that could be worth about $4 million to the city annually.

Our environment, health and image are worth far more than $4 million a year — or even 30 pieces of silver. In fact, they’re priceless. Elma Schemenauer Kamloops

Enter for a chance to win a family pack admission (2 adult / 2 children) to see Bubble Guppies Tuesday, February 14 at Sagebrush Theatre. Draw will take place on Feb 6. One entry per person, per week. Winners will be required to answer a skill testing question.

A Ryerson University business professor who is one of the country’s preeminent experts on start-ups and venture capital has a message for students he will be speaking to in Kamloops on Monday. The robots are not only coming after manufacturing jobs, they’ve got their sights set on the professions eyed by some of those students after graduation. Sean Wise, who hosts The Naked Entrepreneur on the Oprah Winfrey Network after being a consultant with CBC’s Dragons’ Den, said the professions, including law, were traditionally deemed as money in the bank and a job for life. “I know that’s what my mother told me when I went to law school,” he told KTW. “We’re starting to see that profession eaten away.” Wise will speak during the latest instalment of Thompson Rivers University’s Business Kickstart Series on Monday at 4 p.m. in the Mountain Room of the Campus Activity Centre. He is working with 20 start-ups looking to replace or enhance some of the functions

Sean Wise, who hosts The Naked Entrepreneur on the Oprah Winfrey Network, sees technology as an opportunity for entrepreneurs.

done by lawyers. Machine learning and artificial intelligence will allow robots to do complex tasks, making the working world even more precarious for young people, Wise said. Where some may see alarm, he sees opportunity for entrepreneurs in an age in which business ideas are more easily tested. “With little risk and venture capital, you can test your idea,” Wise said, contrasting that to decades ago. In the 1990s, it may have cost $2 million to $5 million to get a new technology venture

up and running — a requirement for serious venture capital connections. By 2008, that cost had fallen to $500,000, something that could be funded by so-called angel investors, friends and family. Those costs were driven by costs of research and e-commerce. “I tell students today they can launch businesses for under $5,000,” Wise said. “You don’t have to quit your day job, put the kids up for experiments or mortgage your home.” There is also great

flexibility today on where new technology firms can locate. While there are so-called superclusters in Vancouver, Toronto-Waterloo and Ottawa-Montreal, Wise said technology allows more opportunity to let people stay home. “You can build a start-up anywhere that’s good for you,” he said. Wise said he tells students to open their minds to creating their own opportunities. “You need an entrepreneurial mindset,” he said. “It’s neither bad nor good — it’s just a fact of life.”

sands of people from around the world. A B.C. Liberal government spokesman confirmed “informal discussions have taken place” but provided no other detail. Kathryn Michel, a language worker at Chief Atahm school in Chase, applauded the idea in conjunction with Canada’s 150th anniversary. She recently sent a letter to the Salmon Arm Observer newspaper. “The many Secwepemc place names, including those referring to landforms, waterways, village sites and resource-gathering areas, had unceremoniously been cast aside and rebranded to suit

the current agendas of Euro-Canadian settlers, with many of these places named after individuals,” she wrote. “In contrast, Secwepemc place names highlight the essence of the land and/or the relationship between humans and the earth.” In an interview, Michel said she is concerned the idea will turn into a conflict over Haig-Brown’s legacy on one side and recognizing Secwepemc history and culture on the other. “We’re not trying to kick him off in a corner and forget what he’s about,” she said of the conservationist whose

lost in the shuffle. The park wouldn’t exist without Roderick HaigBrown.” Michel said she was surprised to read about the proposal through a column penned by Cooperman in Salmon Arm’s newspaper. “We need to be at the table when there’s a name change,” she said. Michel suggested the name Kwlolecw (green earth) but added more appropriate names may come out in discussion. She also said she doesn’t want Haig-Brown’s name to leave the park, advocating it be retained in a future building or centre within the park.

There are examples of renaming places in B.C., most notably the change from Queen Charlotte Islands to Haida Gwaii.

Interior Health Authority slapped a “do not use” order on the community’s drinking water system following a crash upstream of the community, near Avola, when a semitrailer unit ended up in the North Thompson River and released about 800 litres of diesel fuel. Boiling water does not make it safe, IHA advised. The order is expected to be in place for at least a week. “When this week is over we’re going to smell pretty grotty,” said resident Bob Rexin. “It’s quite inconvenient. They don’t want us to use water for anything but flushing the toilet.” Thompson-Nicola Regional District advised the order is expected to last at least a week. It expects initial water testing will be available to report in the next few days.

It’s quite “inconvenient. They don’t want us to use water for anything but flushing the toilet.

— BOB REXIN, Vavenby resident

Until it can be cleared for safe drinking, TNRD is providing eight litres a day to each resident in the community. Rexin said he expects a run on paper plates and utensils in nearby Clearwater, located about 15 minutes drive west on Highway 5N. The city of Kamloops water intake is located on the South Thompson River and is unaffected by the contamination.

Another fire at Domtar CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops Fire Rescue crews were called to Domtar pulp mill for the second time in 25 hours for a report of a small industrial fire. Platoon Capt. Jeff Bell said the call came in at about 2:20 a.m. yesterday for a small fire in the steam plant area. Crews were on scene for more than three hours. “It was in an awk-

ward area,” Bell said. “It was in a wall between two steel panels, in the insulation or debris inside the wall.” Firefighters have responded to three fires at the Mission Flats Road mill this month, on Jan. 4, Jan. 17 and Jan. 19 Investigators have determined the Jan. 4 fire at 8:45 p.m. started when welding sparks were thrown farther by an industrial heater at a wall. Some wood fibre was present in the

steel-clad walls and caught fire. The Jan. 17 fire, which began at about 9 p.m., is believed to have started when oil from a line sprayed on a hot steam pipe, causing ignition. Surrounding insulation subsequently caught fire. There was minimal damage and no injuries in the blazes. “We’ve had nothing for years [at Domtar] and had three in two weeks,” Bell said.

Are City of Kamloops bylaw officers doing a good job? That’s the question behind a new city survey that will look at the department’s performance in handling parking control, animal complaints and other civic duties. The survey, available online at kamloops.ca/letstalk until mid-February, asks the public how effective bylaw enforcement has been on a variety of issues and what the department could do to improve. John Ramsay, who as community safety and enforcement manager is head of bylaws, said it’s likely the answers to those questions won’t all be rosy. “Do I think it’s all going to be positive? No,” he said. “But I think even if people have negative perceptions of bylaws, it’s going to help direct us.” A similar survey is going to city councillors and the results of the two, along with other consultations, will be

The Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation supports the provincial government’s program to help first-time buyers enter the housing market, but senior market analyst Taylor Pardy said caution is needed. “I think CMHC generally supports the policy,” Pardy told KTW. “When we go out and talk to people, we do caution and say this is something that shouldn’t be abused. But it’s generally going to help first-time buyers, in particular increasing their down payment.” The Liberal government’s mortgage-loan program, announced last month and launched this week, matches a first-time buyer’s down payment up to $37,500 or five per cent of the purchase price, with no interest or repayment for five years. The move is in contrast to the federal government’s implementation of a stress test requiring buyers of five-year fixed-term mortgages to qualify at the Bank of Canada’s posted rate, which

A good idea or bad idea?

Email us at:

editor@ kamloopsthisweek.com Pardy said is typically two per cent higher than the rate buyers would be paying. Speaking to members of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association Central Interior chapter Wednesday night, Pardy said the Department of Finance decision was predicted to affect five to 10 per cent of prospective buyers, but would ultimately be a “short-term transition.” Stress-testing has already existed for fixed and variable mortgages of less than five years and Pardy said he felt the change was to level the playing field. Speaking to KTW, he said the government’s decision was likely motivated by statistics last year that showed the household debt and disposable income ratio reached an all-time high of 168 per cent, noting it’s something about which federal departments are concerned.

The stress test aims to safeguard consumers and first-time buyers. However, abuse of the contrasting provincial program is unlikely, Pardy said. “We support what the B.C. government has done, but there is some caution to be taken there,” Pardy said. “Because they have to be insured mortgages, it’s not likely [it will be abused]. “Because the loans would have to come to us or the insurer, there is generally a backstop on that end and that’s generally why CMHC is supportive of what the government has done.” Mortgage specialist Bev Wassen-Hunter said the loan program is good for firsttime buyers in a market like Kamloops. “With the changes you’ve heard about, they are mandating the banks really cautiously to look at people qualifying,” she said. “We don’t want someone going into a house that can’t afford it — that’s the thing. We want to make sure we are putting them into a house they can afford.”

A Kamloops woman who in 2015 was jailed after scamming a senior to pay for breast enhancements will remain behind bars through the weekend. Brandie Bloor was scheduled to have a bail hearing in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday, but it was pushed back to Monday, Jan. 23. Bloor is in custody facing a string of fraud-related charges dating back to a 20-month period between 2012 and 2014. In June 2015, a Kamloops judge sentenced Bloor to nine months in jail and ordered she repay more than $17,000 to an 83-year-old man she bilked for bigger breasts. In that case, Bloor was arrested after the man received a call from a clinic telling him he was in arrears. The man had never met Bloor, but she used his stolen driver’s licence to obtain a loan for breast-enhancement surgery. During a December court appearance on her most recent charges, Bloor said she wants to plead guilty.

OTTAWA — Donald Trump’s presidency will mark a landmark shift in U.S. foreign policy not seen since the end of the Second World War, said former prime minister Stephen Harper. “The Trump presidency is a major source of global uncertainty,’’ Harper said yesterday in a speech in New Delhi, the speaking notes obtained by The Canadian Press. “We do not have a clear idea of where the new president will head, but we do have some broad outlines.” Harper said Trump is “going to reverse the cornerstone of seven decades of American foreign policy.” Trump’s foreign policy will scale back U.S. involvement in global affairs and be guided by narrow economic interests, while coming to view China as a “geopolitical adversary,’’ Harper added. The speech came on the eve of Trump’s inau-

guration and represents Harper’s most sweeping foreign policy pronouncement since he lost power in October 2015. The Liberal government said it is seeking common ground with the Trump administration on promoting middle-class growth, but Harper said friends and allies of the U.S. — he did not mention Canada by name — will have to bring “real assets’’ to the table. Trump wants other NATO members to spend more in the alliance while his incoming commerce secretary is promising a sweeping overhaul of the North American Free Trade Agreement. Trump spokesman Sean Spicer said Trump planned decisive trade moves in coming days. He said Trump would issue an executive order on NAFTA and the Trans-Pacific Partnership, but didn’t say whether he would serve notice of the U.S. intent to withdraw. “I don’t think he’s going to wait,” Spicer said. “He’s made it clear

that some of those things are huge priorities for him.” Harper called Trump “a candidate without precedent in American history.” He said Trump rejects “that America alone must accept overarching responsibility for global affairs,” and he said that’s a notion in step with the views of the American public. Harper said many in the world may not like this foreign policy shift, which will focus on “America’s vital national interest, narrowly defined, especially its economic interests.” “It will work with friends and allies on shared interests, but only when such friends and allies are prepared to bring real assets to the table. That, by the way, is going to apply first and foremost to Europe.” Trump called NATO “obsolete” this week, reiterating past criticism of the 28-country military alliance to which Canada, the U.S. and most of Europe belong. The president-elect has complained the U.S. bears too much

of the costs in NATO, which is bolstering its eastern European flank as a deterrent to Russia, after its annexation of part of Ukraine almost three years ago. Harper said the U.S. global retreat will create significant risks and be the “first big gamechanger in American foreign policy under Trump.” The second will be a major shift on China. “Under Trump, the United States will cease to view the rise of China as benign,” Harper said. “It is more profoundly concerned that the massive trade imbalance means America is financing the rise of a geopolitical adversary.” That view is more in step with U.S. public opinion “which has always been skeptical of the foreign policy and corporate consensus that China is more an opportunity than a threat,” he added. Trump angered China when he spoke with Taiwan’s president shortly after his election, a move that flew in the face of long-standing U.S. foreign policy.

A lot has changed since 2015, when Corryn Brown was last at the Canadian Junior Curling Championships. So, the Kamloops skip was honest yesterday afternoon — she’s not sure exactly what to expect when the 2017 tournament gets underway tomorrow in Victoria. “I’m not overly familiar with a ton of the teams that are there,” Brown told KTW shortly before her flight departed for Vancouver Island. “Last time we went, in 2015, none of those teams were there — or at least a large majority weren’t.” Team Brown — featuring Nanaimo-based third Marika Van Osch, New Westminster’s Dezaray Hawes at second and Kamloops lead Samantha Fisher — will begin round-robin play tomorrow afternoon, opening the tournament against Northern Ontario’s Team Burns. The Kamloops Curling Club rink will play its first three pool games at the Archie Browning Sports Centre — taking on Northern Ontario, Ontario and Quebec — before transitioning to arena ice for its final three roundrobin games — New Brunswick, Yukon, Nunavut — and any potential championship-round matchups. Team Brown is expected to be one of the more experienced groups in the tournament. Brown and Fisher won the 2013 Canadian championship and represented Canada at the world juniors that year, while Van Osch and Hawes won silver at the Canadian championship last year, then playing for the Daniels rink. But the group knows anything

Thompson told KTW from Duncan. “The team has been playing good, I just haven’t been able to finish off the ends.” Play continued last night after KTW’s press deadline, with roundrobin action coming to a close tonight. The Vancouver/Victoria Hudyma rink and Maple Ridge’s Mallett rink lead the championship at 4-0. Thompson said she expected a 4-3 record would be required to qualify for the playoffs, meaning the Kamloops group will need to win all three of its remaining games. “I think we’ll be fine if we win out the rest of the round-robin games,” she said. “It’s a game of inches.” The gold-medal game will be played on Sunday.

can happen once play gets underway. Newfoundland/Labrador is returning its team from 2015, as are Nunavut, the Northwest Territories and the Yukon. One player from Northern Ontario played in last year’s tournament, while Nova Scotia is short just skip Mary Fay from its 2016 world champion roster. “Obviously, Clarke from Nova Scotia will be a favourite — three out of four players won the worlds last year, so I think they’ll definitely be in the spotlight,” Brown said. “Usually, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan have some really good teams. Honestly, the teams

from up north are really improving over the last couple years and the Maritimes as well. Lots of people can just have a really great week and come out of nowhere.” Brown said her group will take the championships one game at a time. Their first goal is to be one of the top four teams in their pool after round-robin play, advancing to the championship round, which begins on Wednesday. Then the focus will be advancing to a semifinal on Jan. 28 and the final on Jan. 29. More than anything, the foursome is just excited to get play underway. “It has been a long time

coming,” Brown said. “Even though it has been two weeks [since provincials], it seems like it has taken forever and then, all of a sudden, snuck up on us.”

Thompson trailing

Midway through the 2017 Scotties B.C. Women’s Curling Championship, Karla Thompson is struggling. Thompson and her Kamloops Curling Club rink, which includes Coquitlam third Kristen Recksiedler, Kamloops second Erin Pincott and Port Moody lead Trysta Vandale, are 1-3 through four draws at the championship. “A bit of a slow start for myself,”

The Tournament Capital will also be represented in the 2017 B.C. U18 Curling Championships, which will take place at the Nanaimo Curling Centre from March 16 to March 19. Team Murray, which includes skip Ramsay Murray, third Tyler Makar, second Ewan Murray and Kamloops lead Jaryn MacInnes, will represent Kamloops and Kelowna at the inaugural tournament. Previously, the championships were for curlers 16 and under, with the winners advancing to the Optimists International U18. This season, the winners of the B.C. tournament will advance to the first-ever Canadian U18 Curling Championships.

Saturday Blazers’ games may begin earlier more often MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

The Kamloops Blazers are conducting a game-time experiment. When the Vancouver Giants come to Sandman Centre on Saturday, March 11, the WHL tilt originally scheduled for 7 p.m. will instead begin at 5 p.m. “We’ve really found we had a lot of families coming to the five

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com o’clock games,” said Don Moores, the Blazers’ president. “That’s the major focus, to see if we can engage more kids and families.” If the experiment

works on March 11, Moores said Saturday games may more often begin at 5 p.m. Attendance numbers were up for two games beginning at 5 p.m. this season — Military Night

on Remembrance Day and New Year’s Eve — with announced crowds of 3,844 on Friday, Nov. 11, and 4,648 on Saturday, Dec. 31. The Blazers have played host to four Saturday night games that started at 7 p.m. this season, with an average attendance of 3,963. One of those games was Teddy Bear Night, which generally draws

a good crowd to Mark Recchi Way. If that game, which drew 4,370 on Dec. 3, is taken out of the equation, Kamloops has averaged 3,791 at its Saturday games that started at 7 p.m. “With our seasonticket holders, the feedback we’ve had from the five o’clock starts has been great,” he said. “They like it, maybe not all the time, but on certain occasions.

think there will be anything negative about it.” Kamloops has played host to one Sunday night game with a 5 p.m. start this season. Brandon was in town and the announced attendance was 3,250. The paltry gate of 2,948 against Swift Current at Sandman Centre on Tuesday, Oct. 19, has been the low point of the season to date, from an attendance-numbers standpoint. Kamloops received permission from both the league and the Giants to switch the game time on March 11. “There’s some work to do to get approval, but, for the most part, teams understand if you’re trying to do different things,” Moores said. Seating capacity at Sandman Centre is 5,464. The most-recent sellout crowd at a Blazers’ game was the Feb. 6, 2016, contest against Edmonton on Hockey Day in Canada, a Saturday game with a 5 p.m. start. Prior to Hockey Day,

the Blazers’ last sellout crowd was on March 14, 2014, when an overcapacity crowd of 5,820 was in the building. There is standing room for 500. The Blazers’ average attendance at home games in 2015-2016 was 3,769, good for 15th in the 22-team league, down from 3,994 in 2014-2015 and 4,148 in 2013-2014. Part of Moores’ mandate when hired prior to the 2016-2017 campaign was improving attendance numbers. “We’ve done a really good job on the business side, but attendance is one of those things that’s lagging and it’s no secret around the Western League there’s a lot of clubs struggling with attendance,” Blazers’ majority owner Tom Gaglardi said before the season. “It’s a sign of the times. It’s HDTV. It’s every night there are 12 or 15 NHL games on TV. It’s a different environment to sell in. We know we can do better and get to parts of the community we weren’t getting to.”

Hunting Hawks The Blazers are looking to make it three wins in a row tonight at Sandman Centre, with the Portland Winterhawks in town. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre. The Blazers downed the Moose Jaw Warriors 4-1 on Tuesday. For the full game story, go online to kamloopsthisweek.com. Kamloops is second in the B.C. Division, one point up on the Kelowna Rockets and 11 behind the Prince George Cougars. The Blazers will cap a five-game homestand tomorrow against the league-leading Cougars. Game time is 7 p.m.

Polarthon returns JESSICA KLYMCHUK

Sub-zero temperatures should bode well for the Polarthon, the second annual winter triathlon returning to Stake Lake tomorrow. The event — a three-part race including snowshoeing, skating and skiing — became a duathlon last year, with skating cancelled due to poor ice conditions. Organizers were on the frozen lake yesterday to clear off the latest skiff of snow and expect excellent conditions for the

family-friendly event. It is expected to be partly cloudy, with temperatures hovering around -3C and a 20 per cent chance of precipitation. “This year, I think we have the perfect weather situation,” said organizer Cathy Turnbull Spence, who first ran the event in Logan Lake several years ago during its annual winter Polar Carnival. Last year, there were about 25 participants, but Spence would like to see more than 50 entrants tomorrow. The Polarthon will cater to all ages and

abilities, with three courses of varying lengths and categories for youth, families and seniors. Those wishing to register can sign up tomorrow between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. at the Stake Lake Day Lodge or today at Runners Sole, where race packages can be picked up. Warm-up begins at 9 a.m., with the onekilometre event set to start at 10 a.m and the short and long events slated to get underway at 11 a.m. For more information, go online to polarthon.ca.

On Wednesday, January 11th at approximately 4:30 pm, a lone male calmly walked into a grocery store in the Sahali area. This male took his time and walked throughout the store waiting until the staff were busy with other customers, then proceeded to take various items and place them into his backpack. By the time the store employees became aware of what was going on, the male had already left the store. The staff with help from the security camera have identified this male as the suspect in the theft. This male is described as Caucasian, early 30’s, medium build, he was earing a black jacket and a green toque with light coloured writing on the side. If you know this person, please contact Crime Stoppers, you will receive a cash reward upon the arrest of this suspect.

SUSPECT BREAKS INTO STORE Early on Tuesday, January 10th at approximately 2:50 am, a lone male broke into the River Fresh Salmon store on Athabasca St. This male smashed out a glass door and went directly to the cooler, then began to load up numerous frozen food items. The suspect thought he had gotten away with this theft but the surveillance camera caught him taking the items. The suspect had his head and most of his face covered, the male had a lighter colour ski jacket and a

toque, he was wearing dark work boots as well. The suspect started to run from the store when someone from the neighbouring business saw what was going on and yelled at the suspect. This would-be thief was frightened and dropped most of the items he had taken and fled the area. Unfortunate the police could not locate this suspect. If you know this person or have any information on this break and enter please contact Crime Stoppers, you

will never have to go to court or give a statement.

SUSPECT STEALS FROM A DOWNTOWN BUSINESS This suspect had a plan when he entered a downtown business on Wednesday, January 11th. The suspect waited until the front counter staff was busy and went through the business to two back offices out of sight of the store employees and other customers. This suspect searched the offices very quickly but had time to grab a laptop, a projector, a purse and some NHL memorabilia, stuffed the items into a backpack and fled the store. A staff

member thought something was wrong when this suspect left so quickly, the staff went to the office and found the items were missing. A review of the surveillance camera showed this suspect in the business. The police would like to know who this person is. If you know who this suspect is, please contact Crime Stoppers, only your information will be used, never your name

HORVAT HAS LEARNED FROM HENRIK IAIN MACINTYRE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

Asked before this season to describe the difference between aspiring to firstline status and actually being on the Vancouver Canucks’ top forward line, Henrik Sedin referred to the moment a decade earlier when he and his brother Danny eclipsed Markus Naslund and Brendan Morrison. “The years before, if we didn’t score, everyone blamed Nazzy,” Hank said. “All of a sudden, we’re in the spotlight and we need to score. It’s easy to say you want it, but it’s not easy to have to be there every night.” When Bo Horvat isn’t scoring, people still blame the Sedins if the Canucks lose. But Horvat knows that safety net is shrinking. The third-year centre is the National Hockey League team’s leading scorer. With 13 goals and 17 assists in 46 games, he is one point ahead of Henrik. And it’s not only in scoring that Horvat now leads. In Tuesday’s 1-0 win against the Nashville Predators, when Sedin’s goal brought the Canuck captain within a point of 1,000 for his NHL career, Horvat logged 19:01 of ice time. Henrik played 19:02. Over the previous three games, Horvat’s total time on ice of 62:49 was 2½ minutes more than Sedin played. This small but significant change in order didn’t get much attention because the Canucks were losing, the Sedins weren’t scoring and coach Willie Desjardins kept putting the twins out to start the power play. Here’s something else few people noticed: Horvat has just one assist in four games since his seven-game points streak ended. The Canucks went 6-1 during Horvat’s scoring spree. They are 1-0-3 since. “It seems like we’re getting matched against one of the top two lines every night,” Horvat said after the Nashville win. “Every night we’re getting tough matchups. We just have to overcome that and be better. It makes it a lot tougher,

Bo Horvat and the Vancouver Canucks will play host to Roberto Luongo and the Florida Panthers tonight, with game time set for 7 p.m.

but that’s where the consistency part has to come in to play every night. “The biggest thing in being on a top line is you’re expected to do good things every night. Getting that consistency in your game, where you’re doing things at both ends of the ice to make you successful on a daily basis, is huge in taking that next step.” Bo knows. He learned it from Henrik. With Sedin about to become the first Canuck to amass 1,000 points in the NHL — he passed Naslund as the franchise’s all-time leading scorer 243 points and nearly four years ago — it’s almost impossible to miss the connection between Henrik, 36, and Horvat, 21. They come from small towns and are humble, accountable, unselfish and driven. The Sedins broke through the modest offensive ceilings projected for them, just as Horvat appears to be doing now. They are more complete players than forecast. Sure, Henrik has 999 points. But he’s also plus-204 in his career. Henrik has been the Canucks’ captain for seven seasons. Horvat should become captain when Hank retires. When the Sedins signed their four-

year, US$28-million contract extensions three years ago — finally getting close to market value after playing for many years at a discount — former assistant general manager Laurence Gilman explained the Sedins’ worth to the franchise went way beyond what they would earn on the ice. It was Vancouver’s morning skate in Philadelphia 13 months ago, Dec. 17, when Horvat was entombed in a 27-game goal famine and at his nadir. Sedin skated up to the slumping sophomore before drills began and encouraged Horvat, telling him he was good and that the Sedins, too, had struggled badly during their formative NHL seasons. Those few laps around the ice at the Wells Fargo Center changed Horvat’s season and impacted his career. “The biggest thing Hank’s ever done for me was come up to me when I was in that huge slump,” Horvat said. “It kind of calmed me down and right after that my season took off. I’ll remember that for the rest of my career, the rest of my life. For a veteran guy, a captain, to come up to me like that, come out of his way to talk to me, it was pretty special.

PITTSBURGH — Ben Roethlisberger intended for the moment to be private. The camera following him to midfield and the microphone tucked inside Tom Brady’s shoulder pads ended up making that impossible. Their brief exchange before Brady and the New England Patriots visited the Pittsburgh Steelers in October provided a snapshot into a rivalry that never was. They bro-hugged. They lamented the left knee injury that forced Roethlisberger out the lineup on that warm late fall afternoon. And then Roethlisberger made an uncharacteristic request : A signed Brady jersey to hang on the wall in Roethlisberger’s home office next to Hall of Famers Dan Marino, John Elway and Jim Kelly. “I consider him one, if not the best, of alltime,’’ Roethlisberger said. It’s a group Roethlisberger does not include himself in. Not even with as many championships as Brady’s longtime friend and occasional foil Peyton Manning (two). Not even with a spot in the top 10

in just about every major statistical category out there on Roethlisberger’s still growing resume. Not even with a bust in Canton one day alongside Brady and the rest of the guys whose jerseys adorn the walls of his home almost assured regardless of what happens in Sunday’s AFC title game. Kickoff is scheduled for 3:40 p.m. The reason is simple: Rings. Brady has four, including two he earned while carving a path through the playoffs that included victories in Pittsburgh in 2001 and 2004. Roethlisberger has two, neither of which required Roethlisberger or the Steelers to take out Brady along the way. It’s why Roethlisberger just shakes his head when asked if he’s part of the “gold standard’’ label that he so eagerly attaches to Brady. “Not as (his) level,’’ Roethlisberger said. “Obviously, with all the Super Bowls he has.’’ In the NFC title tilt, Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are aiming to knock off the host Atlanta Falcons. Game time on Sunday is 12:05 p.m.

Raiders file papers for move to Sin City KEN RITTER

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LAS VEGAS — The Oakland Raiders have filed paperwork to move to Las Vegas. The NFL and officials in Nevada confirmed yesterday the team is asking league owners to approve the move, although the team made no immediate comment and a group that wants to keep the team in Oakland vowed it was still in the game and “playing to win.’’ It’s believed the Raiders could start playing in Las Vegas as early as 2020. Clark County Commission Chairman Steve Sisolak made the filing of paperwork public on Twitter and told The Associated Press he spoke with team officials. Sisolak chairs an elected panel with oversight of the Las Vegas Strip and was part of an 11-member panel appointed by Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval to study plans for the

proposal backed by billionaire casino owner Sheldon Adelson’s company, Las Vegas Sands Corp., to build a domed stadium to lure the Raiders to town. Andy Abboud, the Sands executive working on the project, called the filing “one of those moments that makes it real’’ and vowed that necessary negotiations will be completed. “The people of Las Vegas should be excited that the NFL is coming to town,’’ Abboud told AP. “Business deals take time to work out, but everything will work out in the end.’’ Sandoval also confirmed the filing, crediting Raiders owner Mark Davis with fulfilling

a promise to seek the move. “Mark Davis is a man of his word and the filing of the Raiders’ application for relocation of the franchise with the NFL is a significant step in bringing the team to Las Vegas,’’ Sandoval said. A site hasn’t been picked for the proposed $1.9 billion, 65,000-seat stadium. It is expected to be close to the Las Vegas Strip and tens of thousands of hotel rooms. Sandoval and Nevada lawmakers have committed $750 million in hotel tax revenue toward the project, Adelson’s company has promised $650 million and Davis and the Raiders pledged $500 million from the team and the NFL. Any relocation to Las Vegas must be approved by three-fourths of NFL team owners. The league said the Raiders’ application would be reviewed in coming weeks by league staff and stadium and finance committees “as is provided for under the NFL

policy and procedures for proposed franchise relocations.’’ The Raiders made no immediate comment. A statement from an investment group trying to get approval for a new $1.3 billion, 55,000-seat stadium in Oakland said the filing wasn’t a surprise. The investors are anchored by Hall of Famer Ronnie Lott and former quarterback Rodney Peete. “The team is doing what it needs to do to keep its options open in Las Vegas,’’ the statement from Lott and Fortress Investment Group said. “We will also be providing additional information and data to the Raiders and the NFL so that they can see there is a real and viable option to remain in Oakland.’’ For years, the Raiders have said they needed a new stadium. Their current home, the Oakland Alameda Coliseum, opened in 1966 and is the only facility shared by a baseball and football franchise.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Bill (William) Thomson Bill (William) Thomson left Saturday evening January 14, 2017 on the next step of his journey in the Circle of Life, leaving behind his broken-hearted family. He is survived by his wife of 60 1/2 years. Florence, daughters Roxanne of Kamloops, Lorraine (Wayne Abbott) of Seymour Arm and Bonnie (Orval Brockwell) of Ashton Creek. Sister Shirley (Pete) Griffiths of Victoria, Brother Bob (Linda) Thomson of Kamloops, Sister-in-Law Jessie Hoefsloot of Coldstream. Grandchildren James Michalopoulos, Gilles and Michelle (John) Gauthier and Reed Thomson-Brockwell. Great-grandchildren Lilli, Nevada and Lakasse Gauthier, Mackenzie and Deegan Falsetta. Nieces and nephews: Randy (Claudia) Thomson and Tomas in Panama; Tracy Housser - Jack and Amelie in Calgary; Ross (Tamara) -Griffiths - Amber Hunter and Chase on Vancouver Island; Kim (Mike) GriffithsAaron and Amy on Vancouver Island; Jodie (Ryan) McGill - France, Marcel and Amelia in Calgary, Scott (Penny) Vancouver Island, Glen Hoefsloot - Michaella and Kristine in Calgary; Rob and Tracy Hoefsloot - Michael, Shandell and Ashley of James River Bridge, Alberta. Foster granddaughter Sherry (Rob) Stewart - Hailey and Kailynn. Bill was born in Princeton, BC. He was fortunate in that he grew up in the company mining town of Copper Mountain (just outside of Princeton) where his father worked and built their family home from logs cut on site - quite an accomplishment! This small close-knit community had its own store, community hall with library, outdoor skating rink and elementary school. Bill attended this elementary school and high school in Princeton, where he graduated from grade 12 in 1953. He worked for 2 summers on the Forest Service Fire Suppression Crew and in 1954 hired on with the Marking Crew in Kamloops. This was the beginning of his 35 years with the B.C. Forest Service - a job that he loved. He met his future wife here - Florence Baker, who also worked for the Forest Service. They were married in 1956 - made job moves to Blue River, Barriere, Enderby and finally back to Kamloops. Summers being fire season, were rather exciting at times from gathering fire crews from the pubs and streets to directing water bombers to their water and slurry drops on fires, from the confines of the small Bird Dog plane (with barf bags handy). His last job with the Forest Service was setting up and looking after cross country ski and hiking trails and Forest Service campsites. Bill and Flo had three daughters - (all born on a Sunday) and who, according to the old nursery rhyme - “and the child who is born on the Sabbath

Day is bonny and blithe and good and gay.” And they turned out to be just that! Bill learned his parenting skills from his parents Scotty and Ida and they were a wonderful example of what parenting should be. In 1967 Scotty and Ida provided Bill’s girls with skis for Christmas renewing a hobby for Bill (that began in Copper Mountain on long wooden skiis) and a new one for his family. They skied first at Grandview Ski Acres and then Tod Mountain. Bill was a founding member of the Sun Peaks Antiques and always emceed their annual wind up dinner to celebrate the end of the ski season. The Sun Peaks Antiques - now there is a story or should I say -stories - any member knows what I mean. As for hobbies his first carving (self taught) is dated 1970. A series of twenty week long summer carving schools followed - at Hinton, Red Deer, Shekinah and finally Sorrento. These carving weeks provided good instructors, good food, drinks and great new friends, and of course accommodation was the camper. Bill quit smoking cold turkey one day and using money saved, bought a camera. His photo albums are now a precious resource for his family. Hiking was another hobby Bill enjoyed - he particularly loved the Lac du Bois and Dewdrop areas where he and Flo, Bud and Caroline Laitinen, Don and Joan Lyons, Linda Thomson, Christy Ohalloran and Esther Coughlan blindly followed wherever he led us. Bill and I had many intimate conversations before he left us and we both realized how fortunate we were: we had wonderful parents, siblings, children, friends and good neighbours. What more could a person want? Thank You Christie and Glen for your support. There will be no service as Bill had requested but there will be an open house at the family home on the weekend of July 8, 2017 and there will be notice posted beforehand. Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

John Edwin (Ted) Cheetham April 30, 1927 - January 9, 2017

John passed away peacefully on Monday, January 9, 2017 at the age of 89. We are greatly saddened by his passing but know that he is at peace and that cherished memories of him will always be with us. John was outgoing, generous, very social and a loving husband, father and grandfather. John was predeceased by his wife Doris, son Edwin (Ted), grandson Warren, daughters-in-law Florence and Susan, sister Muriel and his parents. He will be lovingly remembered by his son Ray (Joyce), daughter Judy (Ronald), daughter-in-law Marianne (Dale), five grandchildren Kari (Trent), Candi, John (Nicole), Rachelle (Darren), and Raymond (Amber) and nine great-grandchildren Matthew, William, Raelyn, Amy, Hayden, Merrick, Zachary, Austin and Harper. He also leaves his dear friend Janice and many nieces and nephews. John was born in Neepawa, MB but at an early age he and his family moved to The Pas, MB. He finished school and then began a long successful career with Canadian National Railway. He was the engineer for the last trip of the steam engine No. 6043. He retired in 1982 as Master Mechanic in The Pas. In his youth, John enjoyed baseball, hockey, hunting and fishing but after moving to Kamloops he was very fond of gardening and canning, especially beets and pickles. He was also an avid fan of the Kamloops Blazers. For the past 15 years, he has lived at Cottonwood Manor. Both he and Doris volunteered many hours at the NSCC. In 2008, John was recognized by the City of Kamloops for his generous and selfless community and volunteer support. He was especially proud of his association with CNR and the financial contribution they made to the center on his behalf. Life for dad was always centered around family. He was happiest sharing a beer with the boys, chatting with the girls and sharing a family meal. A Celebration of his Life will be held in the spring.

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia Mary Bowyer of Kamloops, BC, on January 15th, 2017 at 85 years of age. Patricia is survived by her children Doug (Jan) of Kamloops, BC, Blake (Debbie) of Fort St. John, BC, Holly (Doyle) of Dawson Creek, BC, as well as seven grandchildren, eleven great-grandchildren, and sisters Doreen of Nanoose Bay, BC and Josephine of Maple Creek, SK. Patricia was predeceased by her daughters Pamela of Chetwynd, BC and Jacqueline of Fort St. John, BC, as well as her sister Madelaine and brother Gerald. Pat moved to Kamloops in 1985 from the Fort St. John area where she had lived since 1957. She moved into Berwick on the Park in July of 2014 and died suddenly on January 15, 2017. Gone way too soon, but never forgotten. The family extends a very special thank you to the Berwick Staff. There will be no formal service by request. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

Mistaken identities make for ‘zany fun’ in WCT’s The Comedy of Errors

‘If you’re one of those people that are intimidated by Shakespeare, this is an excellent one to start with’ ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

ith a cast of characters that includes two sets of twin brothers and a plot that heaps mistaken identity on top of mistaken identity, The Comedy of Errors was already a chaotic endeavour. But director and former Western Canada Theatre artistic director Daryl Cloran still felt there was room to up the ante on his staging of William Shakespeare’s earliest surviving play. Instead of having identical twins Antipholous and Antipholous or their also identical servants Dromio and Dromio played by different actors, each set of brothers will be played by a single performer. The ensemble’s other three players, meanwhile, will move between the other dozen roles that round out the cast list. “It’s big, big zany fun,” said Cloran, who returns to Kamloops from his new home in Edmonton for the show’s run. Set on the island of Ephesus — inhabited almost exclusively by vaudeville performers in Cloran’s adaptation — the comedy tells the story of two brothers separated as infants by a shipwreck (to make matters more confusing for the characters, both sets of brothers now

have identical names, to honour their suppos-

include a strong man, a Mae West-inspired courtesan and the voice of the merchant trader/ ventriloquist’s dummy Captain Charlie. “It’s very accessible and it would be hard to fall asleep during. There’s a lot of screaming and running around.” “Because it’s such a slapstick, far-end, farce comedy, it allows you to take things further than you normally would in a Shakespeare show,” said Jamie Robinson, who plays both the out-oftown Antipholous and his brother, a master stage magician. For his performance, Robinson said he drew on classic comedy duo Abbott and Costello, whose general haplessness seemed like a good fit for the out-of-town brother. While that Antipholous gradually gains confidence as the play goes on, his local counterpart spins out of control as life on the island stops going his way. Along the way, the play is also packed with magic tricks, songs and plenty of physical comedy. “It’s pure fun,” Robinson said. “I don’t think there’s another Shakespeare that is this calibre of comedy.” The Comedy of Errors runs from Jan. 26 to Feb. 4 at the Sagebrush Theatre, 821 Munro St. Tickets are available through the Kamloops Live box office at 250374-5483 or online at kamloopslive.ca.

Kamloops Museum and Archives (KMA) is adding a surprise to Canada’s 150th birthday. “You don’t necessarily think you’re going to walk into city hall and pay for your taxes and have a look at this artefact,” said museum supervisor Julia Cyr. KMA set up a yearlong pop-up exhibit at 7 W. Victoria St. The Talking Walls Project features photographs, text and artefacts reflecting Kamloops’ past, present and future. Each element tells a story — from a photograph of a ski jumping event, held in 1925

behind Royal Inland Hospital, to parts of a First Nations’ collection honouring Chief Louis. “That piece has been in collaboration with the Secwepemc Heritage Museum,” Cyr said. Another KMA exhibit will commemorate Canada’s 150th this summer. KMA has popped up at the Tournament Capital Centre in the past. Staff have been looking to expand for greater reach. “There’s a certain vibe people feel when they come into a museum or set of behaviours,” Cyr said. “This is bringing cultural knowledge outside of the walls. You break down those barriers.”

or Canadian musicians, touring in the U.S. is a luxury. Venues are numerous and the chance to grow fanbase into another country is tantalizing. But, it’s not cheap. On Dec. 20, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) increased the cost of performance permits, called the P2 visa, from $325 US to $460 US, an increase of almost half. Non-U.S. performers must pay this fee to cross the border and play. Estimates for a five-piece band with manager crossing the border into the U.S. was $820 before the increase. After — it’s more than $1,000. For a Canadian act with a big presence in the U.S. already, that may not seem like much. But for a new band, one hungry for attention an American tour can bring, it puts a cross-border trip out of the picture. An online petition circulated over the summer to stop the increase in fees. The petition received more than 10,000 signatures from all over the world, but the increase went ahead anyway. Smaller acts will usually get a couple hundred dollars

per gig and depend on album and merchandise sales to see them through to the next venue. Add in costs like food, lodging (where they aren’t crashing on a floor or couch somewhere) and gas and you’ll see a musician has a rough time making money on the road, even when they stick to Canada. Strangely enough, the fee doesn’t work the other way around. American bands don’t pay a fee to play here. All they need is a contract from a promoter, a list of gear and merchandise and they can just drive up to the border and cross. Canada introduced a $250 CAD per person fee in 2015, but it was rescinded after outcry from musicians from both countries. Canadian bands looking to bypass the fee and head over the

border for a quick gig face huge fines and up to a five-year ban from the U.S. In addition, Canadian bands often face a pile of paperwork to plan an American tour. It can often take more than six months to get the proper paperwork filled out and filed. Sometimes, months of planning a tour can be for nothing due to a late filing or missed document. The Canadian Independent Music Association (CIMA) has published a 75-page report called Over the Border and Into the Clubs, on how the border is causing problems for both Canadian and American musicians and stating Canadian

bands can bring increased business for clubs and studios in the U.S. The Canadian Federation of Musicians (CFM) are hoping to meet with the USCIS and other members of the U.S. non-profit performers community to discuss the free increase and how to improve the situation. Until then, Canadian musicians will be left paying much more to play their music in the States. Steve Marlow is the program co-ordinator at CFBX, an independent radio station in Kamloops.

PALM SPRINGS — Travelers heading south for a week or more, are generally there for one reason — to escape the rain, snow and cold that grips our part of the world between November and March. And there’s no doubt the Palm Springs area is a wonderful place to relax, especially if golf is one of your pursuits. After all, it’s one of America’s premier golf destinations with some 110 courses contained within the 72-kilometre stretch of the Coachella Valley that houses the Greater Palm Springs region. With a permanent population of about 350,000 that means there’s a golf course for 3,182 people, making it one of the most favorable golf courses-topopulation ratios in the world. Scotland, for example, has 543 courses for five million people or one for every 9,208 people. Even with tourists flooding the place in winter — thereby doubling the population — there’s still plenty of chances to grab a teetime. And if you book for after 1 p.m., there’s usually a deep discount. If golf isn’t your thing, there’s tennis, hiking, cycling, shopping at discount malls, jeep tours deep into the desert, a tram ride up San Jacinto Mountain, hanging out by the pool

But, while it’s a seamless passage with only a sign or marker indicating you’ve passed from one community to another, each of these communities has its own character and feel. Palm Springs itself is the original community and is the heart of the region, having a downtown area. There you’ll find exclusive shopping along El Paseo Drive on the Palm Springs/Palm Desert border line plus a series of intimate restaurants and art galleries that make El Paseo a major art marketplace. Along Palm Canyon Drive in the heart of the community, you get a feel of what old Palm Springs was like back in its heyday of the 1950s and 1960s.

But there is also an incredibly rich variety of cultural activities that take place in Greater Palm Springs. In fact, each of the communities have their own arts festivals and, throughout the year, there are more major classical and popular performances here than you’ll find in most large cities. Only Las Vegas comes close to equalling the number of big-name performances found in the Palm Springs area. This current season has already seen Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, Roger Waters, The Who and Neil Young performing at The Empire Polo Club in Indio in October.

The Palm Canyon Theater has a series of Broadway shows including Evita, You Can’t Take It with You and Sweet Charity this winter. The Annenberg Theater at the Palm Springs Art Museum features Broadway and jazz singers. Performers include: Cheyenne Jackson, Jane Monheit, the duo of Liz Callaway and Jason Graae and Norm Lew. Other music performers this winter at the McCallum Theater include the Vienna Boys Choir, violinists Itzhak Perlman and Joshua Bell, Olivia NewtonJohn, pianist Jeffrey Siegel, Vanessa Williams plus Broadway shows that include Annie, Mamma Mia, Chicago, Last of the Red-Hot Lovers and many other headline performers and performances that includes Randy Bachman in March. Being close to Los Angeles has its advantages. Palm Springs becomes a smaller version of Sundance, Utah with the annual Palm Springs International Film Festival in January. And if you’re around in the heat of August, the Palm Springs International Short Film Festival is held at the historic Plaza Theatre. Palm Springs, after all, is not just about chipping and putting.

Salt of the earth

hen we say someone is “the salt of the earth,” we generally mean they are essentially a good person with many admirable qualities — decency, kindness, humility, generosity, honesty and straightforwardness. While that is our current understanding, the saying has biblical roots with a somewhat different connotation. The phrase comes from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount found in the Book of Matthew. Similar versions are also found in Mark and Luke. Jesus, talking to his disciples, says, “You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.” There are many interpretations for this saying. Salt, as in table salt, is a preservative and a flavouring. Jesus was implying the holy witness of the disciples to an immoral world, imparting the “flavour of godliness,” was extremely important to their mission. His accompanying warning about the hazard of losing saltiness implies that disciples who are compromised by worldly desires, or impeded by sin, lose their effectiveness. In other words, they become useless as missionaries of the Word of God. This interpretation is supported by the context of Jesus’ message. Immediately after

he says this, he asserts, “You are the light of the world . . . Let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven.” In other words, “salty” disciples are ones who present God’s message in the best possible light by their worthy personal example. Disciples who have “lost their saltiness” cannot be effective in spreading the message of God. There are, unfortunately, plenty of examples of how godly Christian leaders have caused great scandal by immoral actions and thus destroyed their mission. Jim Bakker and Jimmy Swaggart come to mind. The importance of salt in this religious context would have been obvious to Jesus’ Jewish audience. Mosaic law prescribed the addition of salt to all animal sacrifices made to God. Furthermore, the incense burned before the holy altar of the temple had salt as one of its God-directed ingredients. In fact, salt was so important that God, in his instructions to the high priest Aaron about the provision of offer-

ings to maintain the priests of the temple, called it “an everlasting covenant of salt before the Lord.” Just as salt was required to be added to offerings, the priests of God were a “living sacrifice” in their service, and God viewed that service as a holy covenant, anointed by salt. The saying as recounted by Luke, however, presents a somewhat different interpretation. Luke writes, “Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.” The references to being fit “for the soil” and “the manure pile” suggest a different meaning of the word “salt.” In English, salt generally means table salt, but clearly that kind of salt is poisonous to the soil, not beneficial. In ancient times, victorious armies sometimes salted the fields of their conquered enemies to prevent anything from being grown there in the immediate future. Another meaning of “salt”, the fertilizing kind that could be added to fields or manure piles, would be potash (potassium chloride). Table salt is sodium chloride, and, being extremely stable, does not lose its flavour, so it is unlikely Jesus was referring to table salt in this teaching. Potash, in ancient times, could be secured from precise treatment of fireplace ash. But if it was not carefully prepared, i.e. exposed to contaminants or mois-

ture, it would become useless as fertilizer, not even as an addition to the manure pile. The fertilizer metaphor for missionary disciples was clear: their mission was to bring new life and be fruitful in spreading the good news of God to unbelievers everywhere. In general, Jesus’ listeners would have recognized his reference to “salt and light” because, in the idiom of the day, that was a way to refer to the Laws of Moses. Furthermore, in the rabbinic literature of Jesus’ time, salt was a metaphor for wisdom. In fact, the literal translation of the Greek phrase “loses its savour” is “becomes foolish” — it has the same meaning in Aramaic as well. Jesus’ use of the phrase is typical of “rabbinic word play” common at the time. Nevertheless, the meaning would have been unmistakable to his listeners. If you wish to be a useful, fruitful, covenanted Christian leader, you cannot allow the distractions of the world to make you unsalty. Like a potato chip with all the salt licked off, you won’t be good for anything but the garbage can.
