‘Ajax is not likely to cause significant adverse effects’: government report ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Cooler weather, clouds and rain in Kamloops’ forecast SEAN BRADY

STAFF REPORTER

sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

KTW FILE PHOTO Ajax would have “significant adverse effects” on Kamloops-area First Nations, but not on the local environment, according to a 459-page government report made public on Wednesday.

Skeetchestn and Tk’emlups bands — has opposed the project, arguing it threatens the area around Jacko Lake, Pipsell, which SSN considers sacred.

Representatives from the two bands were unavailable for comment before KTW’s press deadline. On the subject of other areas of concern, such as air quality, the two agencies conclude that a list of proposed conditions for construction and operation included on the EAO website would be enough to

mitigate the impacts of the mine. That’s raising alarm at Kamloops city hall. Public works director Jen Fretz said staff are still going through the report, but believe at least some of the conditions staff have advocated for during the document’s drafting have been left out.

If the forecast holds, those in Kamloops and other smokeaffected communities in B.C. might be able to breathe a sigh of relief by the end of the week — a fresher one. Although the risk of lightning comes with it, a shift in the weather, for the first time in weeks, means that rain and lower temperatures are on their way to decrease the risk posed by wildfires. The change will also cause a shift in the winds, and may blow smoke out of the valleys across much of the province. While the forecast shows some hope of change from the hot, dry and smoky conditions much of the province has endured over the past months, chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said it’s still unclear at this point what effect the weather will have. “Rain is a real wildcard to try and forecast this far out,” he said Wednesday during a wildfire update conference call.

The Ajax mine will cause “significant adverse effects” to aboriginal people who use the Jacko Lake area for traditional purposes, but won’t cause environmental harm to Kamloops, according to a report from the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Association. The report, which is open to public comments for the next two months, gives a preview of what information federal and provincial ministers will be given to make a decision on whether the controversial copper and gold mine is able to move towards construction. “The Agency and EAO conclude that the Ajax Mine project would result in adverse impacts on aboriginal interests, with the most serious potential impacts on [Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation]’s asserted aboriginal right to practice cultural and spiritual customs, ceremonies, and traditions in the area known as Pípsell, which overlaps the mine site,” the report, now available on both agencies’ websites states.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Project manager Jas Mahal (centre) joined TRU trades and technology instructor Bryce Coombs (right) as they watched student Troy Richet officially cut the lumber to open the 2018 Training House on Wednesday in Westsyde.

Y Dream Home work begins ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops’ next Y Dream Home will be smarter than the average house. At a kickoff ceremony for the annual Thompson Rivers University training home —which, once complete, is raffled off in support of the Kamloops YMCA/ YWCA — project manger Jasbir Mahal said new technology is the focus of this year’s build. “Our emphasis will be more on technology and an advanced kind of house,” said Mahal, one of the partners of Enzo Holdings, which owns the Beachmount subdivision in Westsyde where the house will rise. “There’s some automations

that we’re looking to deploy in the house and the feel of the house will be more advanced.” Building the two-storey, three-bedroom home at 2706 Beachmount Cres. will take about six months. Mahal said the subdivision has advantages for those interested in making their home in Westsyde. “It’s more of a communityorientated area. We’re centrally located to the parks and schools,” he said. As usual, the house will be built in partnership with trades students from Thompson Rivers University. University president Alan Shaver said the collaboration between TRU and the Canadian Homebuilders Association’s B.C.

Interior chapter is now in its 20th year, and praised students for the effort they put into the program, “They’re giving their own hard labour, they’re learning a lot and they’re contributing to the community,” he said. Mahal said he’s looking forward to working more with the students, who have been prepping the house’s foundation for concrete and will soon start framing the building. “It’s really exciting to see the next generation of tradespeople coming up, and working with them, teaching them some of the hand skills,” Mahal said. “In school they learn a lot of stuff, but true life experience and work experience on site I think has great meaning for them.”

Workers at Highland Valley Copper will get a gold-plated signing bonus if they ratify a contract with Teck Resources. Members at United Steelworkers vote Tuesday and Wednesday on a new fiveyear deal that will see them rewarded with a $12,000 signing bonus. “Our last negotiation was $10,000,” said Kyle Wolff, president of Local 7619. “That $12,000 is on par with the rest of Teck’s seven other properties. Workers are also slated to receive two per cent a year in wage increases starting in October through the deal that expires in 2021. It also includes a “copper bonus” based on the price of copper. Even at today’s low prices Wolff said Teck puts money into to members’ pension amounts through a copper bonus. The contract also includes language on contracting out, a major focus of the union. ‘We have built new rules around contracting out, to build on and protect the language that already exists,” Wolff said a letter to members. “Most importantly, we had a mandate to keep our existing language, and not accept any of the Company’s concessions. That’s exactly what happened.” The current deal expired in September last year. Voting wrapped up at 8 p.m. on Wednesday.

NDP eliminates adult basic tuition Thompson Rivers University will again offer tuition-free courses for adults CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Thompson Rivers University will once again offer free tuition for adult basic education after Premier John Horgan fulfilled a campaign promise to eliminate the costs for students. “The action we’re taking today gives hope and help to people throughout the province and is a long-term investment in B.C.’s economy,” Horgan said in a statement. Former premier Gordon Campbell first brought in free tuition for adult upgrading in 2007 but seven years later former Christy Clark cut that program, replacing it with grants for low-income students. TRU was able to charge tuition for adult basic education after 2015. “For some reason at Thompson Rivers we stayed fairly steady,” said Jane Horton, who heads the program. “Enrolment had been decreasing with no tuition.” The NDP government said schools were allowed to

charge up to $1,600 for each semester of full-time studies. It reported enrolment provincewide dropped almost 35 per cent from 2013-2014 over the next three years. Students use courses to

upgrade for university programs or to complete their Grade 12 diploma. Horton believes demand for adult basic education is driven by economics, with more students when the econ-

omy is soft and fewer when work is available. There is currently space in most of its programs. “We’re definitely flexible and will expand to whatever we need to,” Horton said.

Two drivers injured in downtown collision A downtown parking pay station was damaged after two drivers — both of whom had been drinking — were involved in a collision early Tuesday morning.

RCMP Sgt. Sascha Fesenko said emergency crews were called to the area of Fourth Avenue and Seymour Street at about 2:30 a.m. for a report of a two-

vehicle collision. “One of the drivers ran away from the scene and was chased by a witness until arrested by police,” he said. “The driver of the sec-

ond vehicle remained at the scene. Both drivers had consumed liquor and received minor injuries.” Fesenko said the investigation is ongoing.

he late George Michael had a hit song called Faith. The song does not refer to religion, but rather in the belief he is going to get the girl of his dreams. Several women have recently told me they want to find someone who shares their faith. But lately it’s hard enough to find men who are breathing, let alone ones who share in someone’s exact religious loyalty. (I also think I would look a little conspicuous attending the Anglican, United, Alliance, and Catholic churches all on the same weekend.) This brings us back to faith. We all have faith in one way or another: Faith that we will wake up in the morning, faith our friends will get us through tough times and faith everything will work out. While many relationships

Skrepnek said that rain is expected on the coast, with scattered, isolated showers in the interior. “How much will fall, how long it will linger for, and what kind of effect it has on wildfires in the area is very much to be determined at this point.” As for the smoke in the area, Skrepnek said that the winds that come with the weather change may help.

An officer’s response will depend on the behaviour of the bear, and Doyle said that may include relocating or destroying the animal. He could not give figures for how many bears had been euthanized this year, but said when bear conflicts rise then the number of animals destroyed also goes up. The public can help cut back on human-bear conflicts, by securing garbage, removing fruit from trees and staying away from wildlife, Doyle said. Anyone found feeding wild animals could be fined or charged, and many municipalities frequented by bears have bylaws around disposing of materials that could attract the animals.

air quality health index ratings topping out somewhere between 10 and 30, all high or very high risk readings that could cause negative health effects. “Inflow winds are forecasted for the Fraser canyon, and that’s going to be a general increase in wind for most of the province, but that should also help clear up some of the smoke that we’ve had laying relatively stagnant across most of southern B.C.,” Skrepnek said. While rain could help temper the wildfires burning, and wind could help clear the valleys of smoke, the risk of lightning and wind gusts around fires are the

bad that can come with the good. “With that shift in the weather, it will inherently bring some instability as well, so not only is there the potential for some wind in there, but also increasing risk of thundershowers in many areas as that weather system changes,” Skrepnek said Tuesday. The B.C. Wildfire Service reported that there were 20 new fires started Tuesday, August 8, mostly in the Kootenays and mostly caused by lightning. An estimated 7,000 people remain on evacuation order in the province, with another 25,000 on alert.

areas, Doyle said. “We’ve got everything from complaints of a bear in a yard to a bear sighting, a bear getting into garbage, right to bears breaking into houses and a few calls about bears injuring people,’’ he said. A number of factors could be contributing to the increase in human-bear conflicts, including an increased bear population and a wet, cold spring, Doyle added. “That delayed some of the natural food from ripening,’’ he said. “So that brought bears into conflict and some of them have stayed in conflict. And typically when a bear gets into conflict, the level of conflict will escalate.’’

VICTORIA — Complaints about bears in communities throughout British Columbia have nearly doubled since last year, according to the provincial conservation service. Officers received 8,900 calls about black bears between April 1 and Aug. 1 of this year, up from 4,900 such complaints during the same period in 2016, said Chris Doyle, deputy chief with the B.C. Conservation Officer Service. Hundreds of calls have also been received about encounters with grizzly bears, Doyle said.

Acting mayor not happy with report Smoke delays COURT

“Just based on the actual number of conditions, I would suggest there were some things that we would have proposed that didn’t make the final cut,” she said. Fretz said a draft of the report was made available to staff in June, and it’s also not clear if comments the city made at that time were taken into account. Acting mayor Arjun Singh said he’s disappointed in what he’s read so far. “Reading some of the sections, on air quality especially, don’t really give me comfort that they reflected the concerns of the city, but also the concerns of their own experts,” Singh said, noting Ministry of Environment staff raise questions about the mine’s claim it could mitigate 90 per cent of dust. City council opted not to

send a list of conditions drafted by an independent consultant to the province and Ottawa when it voted to oppose the mine in July, over concerns they would appear to soften opposition to the project.

sentencing for murderer

The city’s air poor air quality has caused delay of a murder sentence hearing. Jeffery Harris was in court Wednesday for sentencing following his conviction in April on a second-degree murder charge for killing Gary Mandseth at his Lillooet home on Feb. 10, 2015. Defence lawyer Donna Turko told a B.C. Supreme Court judge a junior counsel has respiratory problems and cannot attend the hearing. The hearing was adjourned by consent of the Crown. A new date is expected to be set Aug. 14. The 38-year-old Harris did not deny stabbing Mandseth to death, but maintained he was in a chaotic, drug-induced blackout when the slaying took place. The jury took less than four hours to return a guilty verdict. Harris remains in custody. The minimum sentence for second-degree murder is life with at least 10 years without parole.

WHY THE HATE FOR CLARK? What was it about Christy Clark that made her such a polarizing figure in B.C. politics? In the aftermath of Clark’s resignation, stepping away with the words “I’m done with public life,” Clark can be remembered as one of the most controversial leaders in B.C. history. In this province and in this part of the province, it seemed you either hated her, or . . . was there another option? Judging by the number of letters and calls we received in the lead-up to the last election, Clark had her share of detractors right here in her riding. That she went on to win Kelowna West easily proved her prowess as a politician and showed she did in fact have support. But why did so many people hate this lady that clearly was a fighter for our province and one of only a handful of women to ever be a provincial premier? On the world scene, Clark’s reputation was solid. She was seen as a champion for the province and a strong leader who advocated for B.C.’s best interests. At the same time the calls to get rid of her never seemed to end on the home front. But was she any different than any other political leader? It’s almost a lose-lose proposition, going into politics. You can never make everyone happy, nor can you move mountains by yourself. As leader, Clark took all criticism on the chin, as leaders do. But the hatred that followed her seemed more fitting for one nefarious, narcissistic type of politician that is in all the headlines these days. No, Christy Clark wasn’t the devil that so many portrayed her to be. She was a politician. Now she’s done with public life. Wouldn’t you be, as well, if you had to put up with these endless personal attacks?

Troubling times in Venezuela

here are two stories about the assault on Fuerte Paramacay military barracks in Carabobo state

on Sunday. The Venezuelan government says that half the twenty attackers were killed or captured and the rest are being hunted down. Sgt. Giomar Flores, who defected from the Venezuelan navy in June and now lives in Colombia, told The Guardian that the attack had been “a complete success.” “We took four battalions and one put up resistance,” he said, claiming to be in direct contact with the leader of the attack, Capt. Juan Caguaripano. The rebels took “a large amount of weapons,” mostly assault rifles, and got away with no casualties. Whichever story you believe, witnesses agree that large numbers of civilians living near the base in Valencia, the capital of Carabobo, spilled out onto the streets in support of the rebels. Civil war in Venezuela is not yet a reality, but there is ample dry tinder lying around just waiting for a match. The attack came just one week after the election of a “constituent assembly” by the supporters of President Nicolas Maduro’s beleaguered government. It’s hardly surprising that the opposition boycotted the vote, because the purpose of the new assembly is to rewrite the constitution and save Maduro from defeat at the next election. The constituent assembly, which Maduro created by decree, consists exclusively of 545 Maduro supporters. There is no time limit on how long it will sit, nor any restrictions on what it can do. It can, for example,

GWYNNE DYER

WATCH postpone the presidential elections that are due next year indefinitely. This matters a lot, since Maduro would certainly lose in a fair vote – recent estimates put his popular support at around 20 percent. More immediately, it can dissolve the legitimate National Assembly, in which the opposition parties won a two-thirds majority in the December 2015 election. And it has already fired Prosecutor-General Luisa Ortega, a member of the Socialist Party and former ally of Maduro’s who broke with him over his increasingly arbitrary behaviour. The most threatening thing Ortega did was to open an investigation last week into the vote on July 30 that created the constituent assembly. Since only Maduro’s supporters voted, that would seem irrelevant — but in mid-July the opposition had held an informal referendum in which seven million people voted against the constituent assembly. Maduro therefore felt the need to claim that more than eight million Venezuelans had voted for the new assembly. Even that would not really be a very impressive turnout in a

country of 30 million people — but then the company that supplied the voting machines, SmartMatic, said that the result had been deliberately inflated. At least a million extra votes had been added. Antonio Mugica, the chief executive of SmartMatic, said that all previous elections in Venezuela using their machines had been conducted fairly. “It is, therefore, with the deepest regret that we have to report that the turnout figures on 30 July for the Constituent Assembly in Venezuela were tampered with,” he said. “This is a dictatorship,” Luisa Ortega said on Sunday — and she is right. Maduro has concluded that he and his Socialist Party can only stay in power by suppressing all opposition — and he is probably right. The street protests against Maduro have lasted four months now, and at least 120 people have been killed. Inflation is 1,600 percent, food and medicines are scarce, and the murder rate is among the highest in the world. The generals are richly rewarded for serving the regime, but rank-and-file soldiers earn a couple dozen dollars a month. Venezuela is a tinderbox. There are hundreds of thousands of devoted supporters of the “Chavista” regime and the government has distributed weapons to them. If the report that most soldiers did not resist the attack on the Valencia barracks is true, the army may be about to split. The violence in the streets is mutating, with more police casualties as well as the daily toll of demonstrators. There is no worse disaster for a country than a civil war, but Venezuela is drifting towards one.

YOUR OPINION SHOULD INDUSTRY SHUT DOWN WHEN AIR QUALITY SUFFERS?

FIRES

AIR IS BAD ENOUGH WITHOUT A MINE

KTW reader Michael Mehta thinks businesses like Domtar and other industrial operations should shut down when air quality is low, as it has been recently.

from its processing operations. There is no doubt that Domtar can rapidly spike PM 2.5 levels in Kamloops, and provincial air pollution readings for total reduced sulphur confirm that this is primarily, if not exclusively, from this polluter. Second, total reduced sulphur emissions are not associated, as far as I can see in the literature, with forest fires themselves. They come from industrial processes and also from municipal sewers and sewage treatment plants as well as swamps, bogs and marshes. If we look at PM 2.5 (hourly averaged) data from July 31 to Aug. 7 and total reduced sulphur (hourly averaged) data for the same time period, it seems clear to me that the contribution of

Domtar to the current pollution situation from forest fires is significant. The peaks on Aug. 3, Aug. 5, Aug. 6 and Aug. 7 overlap almost perfectly with little latency between PM 2.5 levels and total reduced sulphur. Since Domtar is likely emitting PM 2.5 at the same time as total reduced sulphur, it is reasonable to conclude that these very high levels — especially the unprecedented spike on Aug. 3 — are a combination of Domtar emissions and forest fires. If so, it only makes sense to immediately shut down such industrial operations to avoid creating a compounded problem. Michael Mehta Kamloops

Editor: Wildfires are a common occurrence in B.C. every summer and Kamloops is often shrouded in smoke as a result. With Kamloops hitting 49 out of 10 on the air quality index last week, I can only state the obvious: Thank God we don’t have the added dust particulates in the air from a huge, nearby open-pit mine. Just imagine it. Of course the foreign owners of the mine and their families would not be living here so it wouldn’t be making them sick — they’d just be making money. Sandi Mikuse Kamloops

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Editor: In cities like Beijing, when a “red alert” day is called due to high air pollution levels, many restrictions come into effect including a shutdown of industrial operations that may exacerbate the problem. With the extremely high pollution levels in Kamloops over the past month, the following questions arise: To what extent do current industrial operations like those engaged in by the Domtar Pulp Mill contribute to these high levels, and do their operations makes thing worse during emergency situations like this? This is a very difficult question to answer completely, and without full access to provincial air quality data I can only make some inferences and educated guesses. Here’s what I have seen, and this suggests that a lot more work is needed on thiese questions. First, we began seeing a spike in PM 2.5 levels around July 8 in Kamloops. PM 2.5 levels can come from a variety of sources including pulp operations, traffic, residential wood burning practices, slash burning, and of course forest fires. In the past, the PurpleAir network that I set up in Kamloops showed very big spikes in PM 2.5 levels that coincided with visible pollution from Domtar plus notable sulphur smells that come

Great white shark ‘a little too close for comfort’ in Nova Scotia ROB ROBERTS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

HALIFAX — A great white shark has been detected near Halifax — the second great white spotted in Nova Scotia in a month — prompting at least some people to stay out of the water. One Twitter user joked it was “a little too close for comfort,’’ after a 600-kilogram tagged shark named Hilton signalled it was in Mahone Bay, a tourist town 85 kilometres from Halifax on the province’s south shore. Hilton — tagged by the research group Ocearch in Hilton Head, S.C., in March — signalled he was in Mahone Bay on Sunday. “Hilton has been travelling north along the coast of southern Nova Scotia for the past week and a half,’’ the group said on Facebook Wednesday. Rebecca South of Mahone Bay said she and some friends cancelled their usual Wednesday habit of skurfing — riding a surfboard towed behind a speedboat — because it would take them

to an open-sea area in which Hilton has roamed. “Often sharks attack surfboards because they mistake them as seals, and that’s what we’re on. So we’ve just been talking about that and opted not to go today,’’ South, owner of Rebecca’s Restaurant in Mahone Bay, said Wednesday. “Even though it’s beautiful and wonderful outside . . . you know for 100 per cent sure that, yes there is a great white shark in and around Mahone Bay.’’ South said she would still be comfortable swimming at one of the area’s popular beaches, because Hilton would be less likely to be there. She admitted, though, she has seen the 1975 movie Jaws, and is aware that sharks do sometimes go near shore — “but not as often.’’ In late July, a 300-kilogram great white shark affectionately known as Pumpkin was detected in Nova Scotia’s Minas Basin as she feasted on an abundance of seals. In November, a 900-kilogram great white named Lydia — who

like Hilton has her own Ocearchmanaged Twitter account — was among two tracking off Nova Scotia. Ocearch chairman Chris Fischer has said white sharks could be using Nova Scotia’s Sable Island as a place to mate. On Monday, Hilton tweeted a map showing his Nova Scotia location and called to another Twitter-using shark: “Hey @ SharkSavannah, come on up. Lots of good eating here!’’ The Atlantic White Shark Conservancy says the animal is the largest predatory fish in the world, with a powerful jaw full of serrated teeth and a body that can weigh up to 1,800 kilograms. But, it says the population in the North Atlantic has dropped by 75 per cent in the past 15 years and is listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature as vulnerable. They have been protected from harvesting in U.S. waters since 1991, but the conservancy says still so little is known about where the sharks travel, pup and feed.

WORLD NEWS ‘FIRE AND FURY’

Trump touts nuke strength, officials urge calm as tensions escalate between U.S., North Korea JOSH LEDERMAN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump declared the U.S. nuclear arsenal “far stronger and more powerful than ever before,’’ even as his top diplomat was working to calm the North Korea crisis and insisting there wasn’t “any imminent threat.’’ In a series of early-morning tweets Wednesday, Trump reaffirmed his threat from a day earlier by reposting video of him warning that Pyongyang would be “met with fire and fury like the world has never seen’’ if it made more threats to the U.S. Then he said that his first order as president had been to “renovate and modernize’’ the U.S. nuclear arsenal. “Hopefully, we will

never have to use this power, but there will never be a time that we are not the most powerful nation in the world!’’ Trump tweeted. It wasn’t immediately clear what evidence the president had, if any, to support his claim about the nuclear force. The White House wouldn’t say, other than to point to an executive order Trump signed in his first days in office commissioning a review to ensure the U.S. nuclear deterrent is “modern, robust, flexible, resilient, ready’’ and tailored for 21st century threats. The White House has not detailed any findings from that evaluation. A modernization effort started by former President Barack Obama is in the early stages, but the force is essentially unchanged from the

way Trump inherited it on Jan. 20. Stephen Schwartz, an independent analyst of nuclear weapons issues, called the boast “patently absurd.’’ He wrote on Twitter that “literally nothing has happened in the last 201 days to increase the overall power of the U.S. nuclear arsenal.’’ Only hours before Trump’s tweets, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson urged calm and said Americans should have “no concerns’’ despite the exchange of threats between the president and North Korea. Aboard his plane as he flew home from Asia, Tillerson insisted the developments didn’t suggest the U.S. was moving closer to a military option for dealing with the crisis. “Americans should sleep well at night,’’ Tillerson said. He

added: “Nothing that I have seen and nothing that I know of would indicate that the situation has dramatically changed in the last 24 hours.’’ The mixed messages from Tillerson and

Trump put the onus on the North Koreans to decide how to interpret the latest missives from the U.S. In more tranquil terms than Trump, Tillerson sought to explain the think-

ing behind Trump’s warning. He said the president was trying to send a strong and clear message to North Korea’s leader so that there wouldn’t be “any miscalculation.’’ “What the president

is doing is sending a strong message to North Korea in language that Kim Jong Un would understand, because he doesn’t seem to understand diplomatic language,’’ Tillerson said.

Putting a ban on gas and diesel? Governments and agencies around the world are floating the idea of banning new gas and diesel vehicles as of a certain year not too far in the future — but how realistic are those plans? DAVID McHUGH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

FRANKFURT — Ban the sale of gasoline and diesel cars by a deadline — 2040, 2030, even 2025. More and more governments are proposing just that. But how seriously can such deadlines be taken? The issue of how to phase out polluting traditional engines has been pushed to the forefront by scandals and crises. First Volkswagen’s admission to cheating on U.S. diesel emissions tests, and more recently a push by cities in Germany and elsewhere to ban diesels to make the air cleaner. The political desire to switch to get rid of traditional engines, however, runs into a number of hurdles in the real world. More recharging stations need to be set up globally, at a potentially high cost. And millions of jobs depend on the production of internal combustion engines, making the decision politically difficult in many places. “I think there’s a majority, especially in cities, who say ‘we need change,’’’ said Dieter Janecek, a member of Germany’s Green party who is campaigning for reelection in the national poll Sept. 24 on his party’s official call for an end to new gas and diesel sales by 2030. He is running not just from anywhere but from Bavaria, home to auto giant BMW. Yet he thinks the call to phase out traditional engines is a winner. Janecek, 41, said that many people are “skeptical of the internal combustion engine, because they have to live with the consequences and the emissions.’’ That’s particularly true of urbanites — more than half the residents of Munich’s innermost

New gas- and diesel-burning vehicles could be banned in coming decades as electric cars become more commonplace.

neighbourhoods don’t even own a car. And it is in cities where the pollution issue is most pressing. A lot would have to happen before such a big move happens, however. There aren’t enough public fast-charging stations that can enable longer trips with all-electric cars. Janecek loves his electric Renault Zoe, which has enough range to make campaign trips and then get back home to recharge overnight. But for longer trips, he and his wife rely on her conventional Toyota Yaris, a common compromise arrangement among early adopters. Experts say electrics could start to beat gas and diesel on cost and convenience by the mid-2020s as battery range and infrastructure improve. Janecek concedes that “yes, it’s very ambitious. On the other hand, there are countries like Norway that want to move ahead faster. I am convinced it will happen.’’ And then there is the impact

on those who make gas and diesel engines. Banning internal combustion engines from 2030 would affect more than 600,000 jobs in Germany directly or indirectly, or 10 per cent of the nation’s workforce, according to a study commissioned by the German Association of the Automotive Industry. That may be why the dates touted by governments to end the sale of traditional engines look more like soft targets than dropdead dates. Norway has aggressively promoted electrics, but even there the proposed elimination of gas and diesel except for hybrids by 2025 is a goal to be achieved, not a fixed date for a ban. France and Britain are looking at 2040 — so far ahead that the politicians involved will no longer be around and technology will have changed in ways that are hard to predict. The former Netherlands cabinet proposed all electrics by 2035, but a new government will have to take the final decision.

Carmaker Volvo said in July that all its models will have an electric motor from 2019 onwards. However, many of those cars will be hybrids, which also have an internal combustion engine and are regarded as a halfway house to emissions-free driving. In California, the powerful Air Resources Board is pushing manufacturers to include more zero-emission vehicles in their lineups, without calling for a ban by a specific date. China is heavily incentivizing electrics. Still, soft goals can have serious impact; Norway reached its target of 50,000 electrics in 2015, three years ahead of schedule. “It’s an easy thing to say, especially since some of those politicians will not be around in 2040,’’ said Brett Smith, assistant director of the manufacturing, engineering and technology group at the Center for Automotive Research in Ann Arbor, Michigan. “The practicality of it is another matter.’’ What would happen to resale values for owners of internal combustion cars as the deadline

approaches? What would happen to gas stations and their owners? Those are “huge questions politicians don’t really want to think about when they set those dates,’’ Smith said. The dates are “more like guidelines, and when we get closer we’ll figure out how to get there. It’s not an unreasonable approach.’’ As important as the deadlines are the incentives governments give to the industry and consumers. In Norway, electrics are exempt from the 25 per cent value-added tax and other fees. Higher taxes on cars that pollute more would offset lost revenue. Just as important, most of Norway’s electricity comes from hydro power, not from burning fossil fuel. That means increased demand for power from cars won’t mean more emissions from coal- or natural gas-fired electricity plants. The industry, meanwhile, is committed to diesel and traditional engines for the near future while it ramps up investment in new technologies. Daimler spent 3 billion euros (US$3.5 billion) developing a new, lower emissions diesel engine that is already in some of its E-class sedans. At the same time, it is spending 10 billion euros on electric and autonomous technology. Governments do the industry a favour by setting firm deadlines, said Ferdinand Dudenhoeffer, director of the Center for Automotive Research at Germany’s University of DuisburgEssen. “Clear dates, such as 2040 for instance, would mean that the car makers could make a clear plan what to do in the future,” he said. Smith said the market would still play a major role: “If the business model is there, people will find a way to fund it.’’

Dig It: Studying sediment for clues to the past RAMSAY MCKEE

SPECIAL TO KTW

republicofarchaeology.ca

small team of archeologists and members of Secwepemc communities dig test pits in a hay field next to the Eagle River, east of Sicamous, under the July sun. Everyone is covered in the fine, powdery silt that sticks to their sweat-dampened clothes as they dig carefully placed test pits, fill handheld shaker screens lined with six millimetre steel mesh, shake out the sediment and examine what is left for artifacts and bones. Nearby, an archeologist handcranks a soil auger, taking a sediment sample of deposits more than two metres deep. She pulls the auger up hand over hand, careful to do it in a smooth motion so the loose sand does not run out the bottom of the auger bit. She holds the bit over a screen and gives it an expert shake. Rich, dark orange sediment followed by a thin black layer slides out onto the screen mesh. “I’ve got a paleosol at 2.5 metres in the bottom of this shovel test.” Everyone stops what they are doing and crowds around the screen, commenting on how well developed the soil is, and grumbling about how much more work they must do.

An important part of archeology rarely found in local museums, stratigraphy (the study of sediment layers and soils laid down over time) can tell archeologists many things about the past: what the landscape and climate looked like thousands of years ago, the relative age of artifacts or other cultural objects and about the people who lived in this region. It also tells archeologists how deep to dig. In some places around Kamloops, archeologists and Secwepemc community members have found stone tools more than 10,000 years old, buried eight metres below the surface. Through careful recording and study of the layers of sediment laid down on top of these artifacts, archeologists can understand how, over the millennia, sand, silt and clay carried by lakes, rivers, wind and landslides have covered up and modified the landscape. In other places around Kamloops, artifacts of a similar age can be found right on or right below the surface. The archeologists and Secwepemc people who find these artifacts can stand in the same spot as a person who lived thousands of years ago, look out onto the landscape and wonder what it might have looked like back then. A paleosol, staining created by acid and chemicals leaching into the sediment below from rotting leaf lit-

In this column, Ramsay McKee explains stratigraphy and how the process can tell archeologists many things about the past. Dig It is KTW’s regularly published column on the history beneath our feet in the Kamloops region. A group of nine professional archeologists living and working in the area contribute columns to educate and fascinate. From writing about specific sites to the life of an archeologist, the columns uncover the complex past of the land on which we walk in the present.

ter, tells archeologists that an ancient ground surface covered with plants, shrubs and trees once existed below the modern landscape — a surface on which people might have

once hunted, fished, gathered, danced and gamed. Under the surface of ancient pithouse or ‘Kekuli’ depressions (semi-subterranean dwellings common on

the Interior plateau, starting about 4,500 years ago), archeologists record a complex layer cake of stratigraphy uncovered in an excavation, which archeologists can some-

times reconstruct into a record of generations of its occupants. Some housepit depressions can have hundreds of layers of cultural stratigraphy, telling a vivid and

detailed story. As much information as the study of stratigraphy can offer to archeologists, Secwepemc communities and anyone interested in the deep past of what we now call British Columbia, the most valuable archeological sites are those left intact, as the act of excavating and recording the stratigraphy of a site destroys it. The archeological record is non-renewable and many sites have already been disturbed or destroyed by highways, railways and housing developments; it behooves everyone to preserve what is left for future generations to study.

SHOW MUST GO ON Hot Nite in the City will also continue as planned this weekend. The schedule of events is as follows: FRIDAY: Poker run registration and show and shine preregistration will take place at the Plaza Hotel, 405 Victoria St. The poker run is from 2 p.m. to 8 p.m., beginning at the Plaza, stopping around the city and wrapping up at Aberdeen Mall. Transport trucks will light up at dusk as part of a show and shine light show.

SUNDAY: The Ribfest show and shine — dubbed Rods and Ribs — will be in the Heritage House parking lot from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. A trophy presentation will be at 12:30 p.m. Vehicle owners can enter online at hotniteinthecity. com.

Misty Mountain hails from Hinton, Alta. and will return to serve up hot barbecued ribs this weekend during the sixth-annual Rotary Ribfest.

RIBFEST RETURNS THIS WEEKEND JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

lame-grilled meat may be served with extra smoke this weekend during the 2017 Rotary Ribfest. “We’re going to move ahead,” said event spokesman Bryce Herman. The annual fundraiser hosted by the Rotary Club of Kamloops Daybreak will proceed despite smoky conditions which have led to one act pulling out of the entertainment lineup and cancellation of the Kamloops Dragon Boat Festival, which usually runs simultaneously in Riverside Park. “We certainly looked at it and said, ‘What do we do?’” Herman said. “The reality is we’ve got thousands of evacuees in our community . . . . those people need free entertainment.” Herman is inviting evacuees to bring kids down to the Family Fun Zone, which will feature outdoor theatre by the Rivertown Players, sing-along music and interactive story-telling

with Pangaea Arts, martial arts demonstrations, face painting, clowns and more. New this year is Machine Mayhem, which takes place on Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Heritage House parking lot. The concept is similar to Meet a Machine, hosted by the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, showcasing various machines and vehicles. Purchase ribs from one of six vendors serving up some of the best barbecue from B.C. to Ontario. Or bring a picnic to the park and take in one of the many musical performances on the Rotary Bandshell stage. About 300 volunteers bring the event together, including local Rotarians and members of the general public. They help run the children’s activities, but also take care of co-ordination right down to garbage collection. In five years, Ribfest has raised almost $400,000, with 100 per cent of the money going back into the community to support youth and seniors projects. Some programs that have benefitted from the

event’s proceeds include the Boys and Girls Club’s Power Start breakfast program, Thompson Rivers University scholarships, the YMCA-YWCA Strong Kids program and the Rotary youth exchange. This year, the club installed stone and lighting outside the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home. Last year, Ribfest raised about $94,000 and an estimated 60,000 people attended, based on a festival count which could see some overlapping numbers. Asked about goals for this year, Herman said he’d like to match last year’s attendance and fundraising numbers, but he’s realistic given the current smoky conditions. “That’s a huge crystal ball gazing with the way everything is,” he said. Ribfest runs Friday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday’s family day also includes a pancake breakfast by the Kamloops Paddlewheelers Lions Club at 8:30 a.m. For more on the entertainment lineup, which runs all day long on Rotary Bandshell stage, pick up Friday’s edition of Kamloops This Week.

SATURDAY: Hot Nite’s show and shine takes over Victoria Street from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It runs from First Avenue to Sixth Avenue. Those taking part in the car show are asked to arrive at 8 a.m. or earlier. Trophy presentations will be at 4:30 p.m.

Steam engine halts until smoke clears JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

While Ribfest and Hot Nite in the City will continue under smoky skies, Kamloops Heritage Railway has suspended train operations until further notice. “We don’t believe it’s safe,” said Rosanne Nelson, KHR manager of rail tour operations. Cancellations began last week and Nelson said the difficult decision came down to the health and safety of the general public, staff and volunteers. Asked how the decision will impact the bottom line of the nonprofit society that operates the heritage steam train dubbed the 2141,

Nelson said:“It’s devastating, to be honest.” The cancelled rides will be rescheduled, likely some time in the fall, but those who purchased tickets for this week can be refunded, swap dates or donate the ticket price to the non-profit or evacuees. Nelson is asking customers to be patient and wait for KHR to contact them. In the meantime, a new Canada 150 museum opened at the Lorne Street station last week. The museum showcases 150 years of steam in Canada, with a room dedicated to the 2141 and KHR. “They can get some train history rather than riding the train right now,” Nelson said. As part of Canada

headed restoration of the train and now uses it for tours and various holiday-themed events, which expanded this year to include a wizard train and steampunkthemed ride. The latter event was among rides cancelled due to the smoke. “We will try it again next year,” Nelson said. The museum is open Mondays to Fridays. The station is located at 3-510 Lorne St. Ticket holders and those interested in hopping aboard the train can find updates online at kamrail.com.

Classics diving into golden age MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ay attention to this trio. Colin Gilbert, Megan Dalke and Ryley McRae are making it feel like a golden age for Kamloops swimming is only a few lengths away. “All of those kids are now in the equation for 2020,” Kamloops Classic Swimming head coach Brad Dalke said, referring to the 2020 Olympic Summer Games in Tokyo. ”They’re all right there.” Gilbert, who is entering his sophomore season at the University of Denver, won bronze in the men’s 400-metre freestyle at the Canadian Swimming Championships on the weekend in Montreal, posting a Classics-record time of 3:52.73. He turns 19 later this month, making him six years younger than gold medallist Jeremy Bagshaw, the Victoria swimmer who won gold with a time of 3:51.69. Gilbert’s time improves his chances of representing Canada at the 2018 Commonwealth Games in Australia in April. The Swimming Canada team for that event will be announced at the end of summer. Megan Dalke underperformed at nationals on the weekend, placing sixth in the 400m individual medley and ninth in the 800m freestyle, but the 18-year-old UBC Thunderbirds’ standout racked up four medals at the U Sports Swimming Championships in March — gold in the

women’s 4x200m relay, silver in the 400m medley and 800m freestyle, and bronze in the 400m freestyle. “She just wasn’t quite rested enough [at nationals],” said Brad Dalke, Megan’s father. “She’s been all over the map, in terms of training with us and UBC.” Dalke is among the select few Thunderbirds who train at the Swimming Canada High Performance Centre on the UBC campus, one of three such facilities in Canada. The high performance centres — the other two are in Toronto and Victoria — provide expert coaching, sport-science and medical support to swimmers identified as national team hopefuls. Both Gilbert and Dalke have their sights on the 2018 Pan Pacific Swimming Championships, aiming to represent Canada at the senior level at the major international meet in August in Tokyo. Canadian-team trials for the senior Pan Pacifics will be held in Edmonton in July. Meanwhile, 16-year-old Classics’ phe-

nom Ryley McRae might be favoured in the 1,500m freestyle at the 2018 Junior Pan Pacific Championships, scheduled to run from Aug. 23 to Aug. 27 in Fiji. McRae won gold in the 16-and-under 1,500m freestyle at the Canadian Junior Championships last month in Toronto, blowing away the competition with a time (15:35.87) that ranks among or near the top 10 in the world among swimmers 18 and under. “It was funny. The race itself, I actually felt like I was going pretty slow,” said McRae, who finished a whopping 22.32 seconds ahead of the silver medallist at nationals. “It felt completely not like my stroke. “About 400 metres in, I realized I was about 10 metres ahead in first place. Honestly, I had no idea I had those capabilities.” McRae, who is heading into Grade 12 at Sa-Hali secondary, said a switch has flipped in his head since posting the time. “Ever since I was a kid, I’ve watched the Olympics and dreamed about being there,”

he said. “It’s insane to think I could be there at the same level. “It’s in my playing field now. Brad and I have to, not abandon my previous workout routine, but definitely step it up and get ready to go to those [2020] Olympic Games.” McRae, who turns 17 in December, wants to be an engineer and is looking into swimming and studying at either the University of Toronto or University of Denver. Recent results and projections for the future are great news for the Classics’ highperformance swimmers, but Dalke warned against putting the cart before the horse when it comes to talk of qualifying for the Olympics. “The only problem is you get to a certain level and just to break through to that next level, you’ve got to have a variety of things line up absolutely perfectly,” Dalke said. “You’ve got to be performing regularly, you’ve got to have a few lucky breaks and there are a lot of things that go into the equation, other than just strictly hard work.” For now, Dalke is taking stock in what has already happened. The Classics’ four-person team, comprised of swimmers under 19, finished 20th out of 120 teams in the overall standings at senior nationals. Gilbert placed sixth in the 200m freestyle and fifth in the 800m freestyle, and Dalke made two B finals, winning the 400m freestyle and placing second in the 200m fly. See LADYMAN, A21

finishes and no wins in 15 starts. But the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s former No. 1 player feels like heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about to turn the corner after finishing tied for 24th last week at Bridgestone. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also drawing confidence from his past success at the PGA Championship, winning at Whistling Straits in 2015 and finishing second last year to Jimmy Walker at Baltusrol. His renewed confidence may not be good news for the rest of the field this week. Jordan Spieth is aiming for a career grand slam. Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best finish this year is second at the AT&T Byron Nelson, where he lost a playoff to Billy Horschel. Day entered the season as the topranked player but has since dropped to No. 7 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something he says â&#x20AC;&#x153;annoys and motivates me at the same time.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; He made it clear his goal is to get back on top and anticipates that will start with a strong performance this week at Quail Hollow. The 29-year-old Australian said his passion waned late last season after getting â&#x20AC;?burned out.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Looking back, Day felt like he spread himself too thin trying to fulfil obligations and spending less time practicing and relaxing. He didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t arrive in Charlotte until Tuesday night and checked in to the tournament on Wednesday morning so he could spend more time at home in Ohio away from distractions. Day refuses to call this a lost season. Sure, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finished out of contention at the Masters (tied for 22nd), the U.S. Open (cut) and the British Open (tied for 27th), but he believes his putting and driving are coming back. And he harkens back to 2014 when he finished the year strong, which served as a springboard for two incredible seasons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to win again,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122; Day said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about that.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Venom cap season with silver at provincials KEVIN MITCHELL

BLACK PRESS

The Coquitlam Adanacs grounded the Kamloops Venom 9-4 in the B.C. Junior B Lacrosse Championship final before about 300 fans on Monday afternoon at Kal Tire Place. “The boys played their hearts out and had a hell of a weekend, but we just couldn’t pull it off,” Kamloops goaltender Matt Hans said. “They’re a good squad and they proved it tonight.” The Adanacs advance to the national Founders Cup, which runs from Aug. 14 to Aug. 20 in Saskatoon. Coquitlam finished fifth at the 2016 Cup, won by the Orangeville Northmen of Ontario. Coquitlam, which won the West Coast Junior Lacrosse League title, ran the table at provincials, which they also won last year. Chris Turenne notched a hat trick to earn game MVP for the Adanacs, while Hans took similar honours for Kamloops. Hans will join Coquitlam in Saskatoon. Tourney MVP Josh Kemp supplied two goals and three assists for the Adanacs. The Venom, who won the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League crown, dispatching Vernon in a thrilling five-game final playoff series, outshot Coquitlam 41-40. Anthony Matusiak, captain Riley Peterson, Erik Bunce and midget call-up Kaden Dempsey countered for Kamloops. Peterson, Tylor Seabrooke and Colton Boomer will also play for Coquitlam at the Founders Cup.

LISA MAZUREK/BLACK PRESS

Chris Turenne of the Coquitlam Adanacs absorbs a check from Ryan Wightman of the Kamloops Venom in the gold-medal game at the provincial junior B lacrosse championship in Vernon on Monday.

Each team took just one minor penalty, both coming in the third period. “We jumped out early, we stayed on top of it and we tried to keep a level head on the bench, just worry about the next play and everything,” said Kemp, 21, who hopes to get time off from work as a bartender to attend nationals. “Even in the third when they started to score a few, we just focused on the next play. Getting only one penalty was big, especially after the round-robin. We really preached to stay out of the box.” Hans was sensational, making several clutch saves to keep the Adanacs from reaching double figures. Cam King was just as good going the distance for Coquitlam. “I think they just came out a little hotter right off the bat; we

were slow-footed there and they got an early lead,” Hans said. “We tried to fight back all night, but their defence was strong and their offence is loaded, like always, and we just couldn’t hold them back. Peterson was happy with his team’s effort in the title tilt and said Coquitlam deserved to win. “I’m proud of our guys making the final,” said Peterson, 21. “Beating Vernon in the final to make it here was great and second in the province is pretty damn good.”

All-star team

Three Kamloops Venom players cracked tournament all-star teams. Peterson was named to the first all-star team, while Hans and Matusiak cracked the second all-star team.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Mortgage Features 101 When shopping for a mortgage, most consumers believe securing the best interest rate is their rst priority. However, obtaining the best rate does not always ensure you get the best mortgage! A good approach is to look at the individual features of the mortgage as well. Here are some questions you need to ask: 1. Is my mortgage assumable? A few years from now, you could decide to sell your home. At that time, a lowrate mortgage could become an extra selling point. If your mortgage is assumable, (meaning it can be transferred to another borrower), it can allow the purchaser to take on your mortgage’s terms and payments as part of the sale. This can be an attractive incentive, particularly if rates increase down the road. 2. What are my penalties for early repayment? When choosing a mortgage, keep in mind that penalties are often the equivalent of three months’ mortgage payments, or an interest rate differential calculation, which is the difference between your current rate and the new rate. Penalty calculations vary with lenders, so add penalty to your considerations when choosing a mortgage. 3. What are my pre-payment privileges? Pre-paying a portion of your mortgage balance penalty free can add up to huge savings over the term of your mortgage. However, these privileges will vary by lender. Some lenders will allow you to double up payments periodically, or make lump-sum payments of up to 20 per cent of the principal once a year. When negotiating your mortgage, make sure you understand the size and frequency of payments your lender allows. 4. Do I need a skip-a-payment option? Some lenders offer an option to skip a payment without penalty, which may come in handy in a time of need. 5. Is my mortgage portable? Many mortgages have a portability feature that allows you to transfer your existing mortgage over to a new property, but not all portability terms are the same. Some lenders allow as long as 120 days to transfer the mortgage, but others only allow for a few days or a week. Find out which rules apply to you. Choosing the right mortgage involves considering all the features of a mortgage, not just rate. Working with a mortgage professional can help you make sense of the many options available to you.

The Kamloops Invitational Soccer Tournament wrapped up on Monday, following a weekend in which players endured smoky skies and, at times, poor air quality. “In these very difficult conditions, everyone pulled together to put on a great show for our out-of-town participants who were happy that we did not cancel,” tournament organizer Rob Piva said in a press release. In the women’s category, Houle Electric Fun Bags won

the Open Division; JB Angels snagged the Rec A banner; Show me your Taco was first in the Rec B Division; and Alpha Q won the Rec C championship. Tournament MVPs include Tara Salm, Amy Iwanicki, Kailie McRae and Jackie Gale. On the men’s side, UCC Alumni won the Open Division; Afternoon Delight claimed the Rec A title; Lightning triumphed in the Rec B Division; and

Discovery Glass won the Rec C banner. Justin Wallace, Eric Hayes, Justin Depodesta and Allister Henderson earned tournament MVP honours. Piva thanked sponsors — Molson Coors, Kamloops Youth Soccer Association, Hansport, Umbro, Ayres Fencing, City of Kamloops, Tony’s DJ Service, CJs Nightclub, Kamloops Soccer Referees Association and St. John Ambulance — for helping out on the weekend.

Love you Forever Heather; Adam, Jenn, Rylan, Cole; Derek, Terine

A million times we needed you, A million times we cried, If love alone would have saved you, You would of never died. In life we loved you dearly, In death we love you still, In our hearts you hold a place, No one can ever fill. A light from our household is gone, A voice from our love is stilled, A place in our vacant home, Which never can be filled. Some may think you are forgotten, Though on earth you are no more, But in our memory you are with us, As you always were before. It broke our hearts to lose you, But you did not go alone, A part of us went with you, The day God called you home. Your precious memories are for keepsakes, with which we never part, God has you safely in his keeping, But we have you forever in our hearts

ONE FINAL GIFT Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee.

Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. DJ Kramer

Obituaries & In Memoriam Wilfred “Bill” Joseph Christopher Charron

Ralph J Lazzarotto January 1926 - May 2017

February 2, 1929 – Ottawa, Ontario July 6, 2017 – Calgary, AB

Ralph was born in Revelstoke, BC and spent his early years in Golden, BC; he was a youngster in Monte Creek, BC and attended Kamloops High School. Ralph was a WWII Army Veteran; he worked for CPR as a locomotive engineer in Kamloops and later in Vancouver. It was in Vancouver that he became the CPR Rules Instructor for BC.

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of Bill Charron of Calgary, Alberta on July 6, 2017 at the age of 88 years.

He was attracted to many sports: softball, tennis, swimming, curling, fishing, hunting, and golf. Ralph would become fully immersed in each to the point of some competence. Ralph always enjoyed gatherings and used his story telling to regale young and old with his exploits about his sports, working and life in general, probably exaggerated but never dull. He and wife Eva retired to live in Abbotsford where they golfed extensively in the BC Lower Mainland and additionally in California and Arizona in the winters. Once with clubs in tow, they golfed their way across Canada and back. In 2013 Ralph’s oncoming Alzheimer’s made it necessary to sell their Abbotsford home and move to a senior’s condo and subsequently for Ralph to a nursing home nearby where he resided until his death. He was predeceased by his sister Ines McQuay, a long time nurse at the Burris Clinic in Kamloops and her husband Bob McQuay - like Ralph, a CPR engineer in Kamloops. He will be missed by his wife Eva, brother Hector (Ola) and many nieces, nephews; grandnieces and grandnephews. He had no children of his own, but was known as “Uncle Ralph” to all of the youngsters within the extended family and like wise to friends families’ as well. A Memorial Funeral Mass will be held on Saturday, August 26, 2017 at 11:00 am at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 635 Tranquille Rd., Kamloops. Followed by a Friendship Luncheon in the Church Hall. Condolences and messages to the family may be posted on the Schoenings Funeral Service website www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Or by email - Hector: lazz@bell.net

Lewis (Bud) Fox

October 26,1934 – August 6, 2017 It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of beloved husband, father and grandfather, Lewis (Bud) Fox. Bud passed away in Royal Inland Hospital, at the age of 82, after a long battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He is survived by his wife of 60+ years, Dorothy, children Louise, Patricia (Ray), Jim, grandchildren Christa, Amaris, Daniel, Gilead, Robert, Eva-Marie, Lewis and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. He is predeceased by his parents Lew and Eva, sister Betty, brother-in-law John and brothers James and Stewart. Bud was born on and spent his life on Duck Range on the family farm where he resided until his health required him to move to Overlander Extended Care Hospital in 2013. He married Dorothy Van Boeyen in 1957. A social man, he enjoyed old-time dancing and square dancing with Dorothy and they instilled a love of dancing in their kids. Bud was involved in his community, being a founding member of the Pritchard Community Association and holding office for many years as Secretary–Treasurer and President of the Martin Prairie Farmers Institute. He fully believed in giving back to his community and supported the Pritchard Rodeo. In addition to farming, he also drove trucks for Arrow Transport, Purity Feed and Hazelhurst & McKim Logging. Education was very important to Bud. He attended a 1 room school on Duck Range for grades 1 to 8. Moving to Kamloops to complete his schooling, he graduated from Kamloops Secondary School in 1952. Bud then attended Youth Training School at UBC, Cariboo College and Simon Fraser University. He strongly encouraged his children to continue their studies after graduating from Kamloops Senior Secondary. After family, his great love was for his horses, cattle and the family farm. One of his greatest joys was sitting on his horse watching his cattle graze. In 2009, he was proud to receive the Century Farm Award for a farm owned and operated by the family

Bill was born and raised in Ottawa, Ontario and joined the Royal Canadian Air Force in September of 1950. After two years of service in Ottawa, Bill met and married Pat. They jetted off to Three Wing, Zweibrucken in Germany for a three-year posting from 1955-1958 where they travelled around Europe making life-long friends inside and outside the Air Force. Returning to Canada in 1958, they took several postings across the country while raising their three daughters – “Larry, Curly and Mo”. Bill retired from the RCAF in 1977 and moved the family back to their favourite posting of Kamloops, BC. He then joined the CUPE Union and worked at Westsyde Secondary School until retirement in 1991. Bill and Pat travelled to many foreign locations in the years following. Bill was a member of the Irish Culture Society in Kamloops and the RCAF Association. Bill moved to Calgary in 2005 and spent his time travelling for several years with and without his daughters. He loved spending time with his family and always enjoyed the big and famous Charron Family dinners on long weekends and holidays. During his leisure time, Bill baked and socialized with friends and neighbours in his condo complex along with participating in group-jigsaw puzzle events, bingo, crib games and movie nights. Bill was a wonderful Dad to his girls and his sense of humour was best served by surprising them with his antics. He often joked that he should have had 18 boys. Cindy always claimed to be able to out-run Bill and he always let her – leading to much laughter and teasing; until the day he caught her. The tables were turned and

for over one hundred years. In 2014, The BC Cowboy Heritage Society further recognized Bud’s contribution to the BC ranching industry by inducting the Fox Ranch into the BC Cowboy Hall of Fame in the category of Century Ranch. Thank you to all the doctors, nurses, therapists and health care assistants at Royal Inland Hospital 7N and Overlander Extended Care Hospital who took wonderful care of Bud, showed compassion and professionalism at all times, and made him feel loved during his trials. Death leaves a heartache no-one can heal, Love leaves a memory no-one can steal. Forever loved and deeply missed. Interment will be held at 11:00 am at the Duck Range Union Cemetery. Celebration of Life will be held at the Pritchard Community Hall, 1941 Duck Range Rd. Saturday, August 12, 2017 at 2:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to either of

Cindy was beyond shocked. Cathy is easily embarrassed and Bill took full-loving advantage of that by ‘losing’ her in the department store and then simply ‘yell’ for her until she either hid in a clothes rack or ran to him red-faced and giggling. Bill was a lot of fun at the grocery store and loved to break the boredom of it all by throwing bags of frozen vegetables at Heather, bringing on admonishing looks from Pat; and then one day a bag of peas was not caught in Coopers Market and someone was banned from grocery day. There’s a special place in Heaven for a Father of three girls. Bill leaves behind his loving daughters Cindy McIvor of Rocky Mountain House, Cathy (Bruce) Skorobohach and Heather Charron both of Calgary, Alberta, six grandchildren Christopher (Angie) McIvor, Alexandra, Orrie and Camille McIvor and Michael and Cayley Skorobohach as well as three great-grandchildren Lawson, Morgan and Julie. Bill was predeceased by his beloved wife Mary Patricia “Pat” Charron (nee Charlebois) and son-in-law Harold “Sandy” McIvor of Rocky Mountain House. The Family thanks the doctors and staff of Beverly Age Care Centre for their time and effort during the last year. Blessing to be held at Hillside Cemetery, 750 Notre Dame Dr, Kamloops, BC on Friday, August 11, 2017 at 11:00 am. Condolences may be forwarded through www.mcinnisandholloway.com.

She graduated from MacLean High in Maple Ridge. In 1938, she attended the Academy of Designer Arts, after which she worked at Robson Dressmakers (1939 – 1942). In July of 1942, she evacuated to East Lillooet where she taught the children in the internment camp. In February 1945, Mom married Tye and they lived in a number of BC Interior towns in the Thompson and Okanagan Valleys, eventually settling in Kamloops. Rose’s greatest joy was to be spending time with her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Our heartfelt gratitude to the staff of Interior Health and Ponderosa Lodge for their compassionate care and support. We would also like to express our thanks and appreciation to Dr. P. Sigalet for his attentive care to our Mom.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Sarah to be held in Kamloops at a later date.

Should friends desire, donations may be made to Ponderosa Lodge, 425 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T4 or to the charity of your choice.

We are hoping all those who knew Ciss will come and celebrate the life and love of this extraordinary woman.

In keeping with Mom’s wishes, a private family Celebration of Life will be held in Vancouver.

Vi (Viola) Chevalier

Betty Hulton (Ferguson)

Mary May Howard (Pryce)

Vi (Viola) Chevalier, loving mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and caregiver passed peacefully on July 28, 2017. Vi is predeceased by her husband of 62 years Don and sons Wayne and Alan. She is survived by her brother Alvin (Josie), children Karen (Chuck), Brenda (Brian), Gerald (Debbie), Ken (Elizabeth) and Darren ( Leanne), grandchildren Jody, Stacey (Paul), Jennifer, Jeffrey (Trina), Patrick (Delena), Shane, Terence (Jenelle), Jaime (Chad), Tyler (Melody), Jeremy (Elisa), Aleksandr and Tatiana, great-grandchildren Elliot, Aidan, Sarah, Alexis, Ava, Evan, Matt, Brilyn, Kaylie, Elise and Isabelle. She spent the past year with her new friends at Brocklehurst Gemstone Care Centre. Vi was born in Burstall, Saskatchewan on December 17, 1931 and was raised on a farm by her parents John and Eva Riehl, alongside her older brother Alvin. This is where Vi learned the value and importance of family through hardship and survival. Vi met and married Don in 1953 in Suffield, Alberta. They moved throughout Western Canada during Don’s military career, settling in Prince George in 1967 where they built their first house together. Vi and Don kept very busy raising their seven children. Spending their summer holidays at the family property located at Kelly Lake, BC was always the highlight of the year. Vi had a true loving spirit. She was gentle soul. She was always smiling and with every passing moment saw the most positive in all she knew and met. She was an active volunteer in her community, often with activities through the Catholic Parish, including many years at St. Vincent dePaul Thrift Shop in Kamloops. Not a day would go by without Vi enjoying a glass of Don’s homemade wine, specially made for her, alongside a dish of peanuts. May your wonderful spirit continue alongside your loving husband Don. Funeral Mass for Vi will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church on Monday, August 14, 2017 at 2:00 pm. Refreshments to follow in the parish hall. REST IN PEACE
