While the 2017 wildfire season is no leader in terms of the number of fires, and it isn’t the most expensive season on record — at least for now — it is now officially the season that has claimed the largest number of hectares burned, an estimated 894,000 hectares. That number has increased dramatically over the past week — mostly attributed to better mapping of existing fires, but also due to aggressive fire growth over the weekend. The previous record, set in 1958, claimed 855,000 hectares of B.C. forests and brush. That record was itself anomalous; since 2006, no fire season has claimed more than 370,000 hectares (set in 2014), with the average being 154,000 hectares per season. In terms of the number of fires, it’s not even close. Based on a 10-year average, this season is well below the 1,800 fires that B.C. typically sees. In 2009, the province was faced with 3,064 fires. Total costs are also not quite record-breaking. So far in 2017, the B.C. Wildfire Service has spent $315 million — shy of 2009’s $382 million spent. But as chief fire information officer Kevin Skrepnek said
Wednesday: “Of course, it is only halfway through August.” The Elephant Hill wildfire now measures 168,000 hectares and, although growth has been limited in the past few days, the fire saw major growth over the weekend, attributable to high winds that blow embers outside the fire perimeter. The fire now has 603 firefighters on the ground, supported by 23 helicopters, the Kamloops air tanker base and 135 pieces of heavy equipment. Structural firefighting personnel are also onhand. Nearing the end of August, the B.C. Wildfire Service is still focused on the weather. Skrepnek said that the province has another challenging weekend ahead, as a cold front is expected and will bring with it gusty winds, more thunderstorms and the potential for dry lightning. That cold front will stick around until Monday, and it is expected to leave drier conditions in its wake. But there is a silver lining, according to Skrepnek. “We don’t anticipate a return of that massive ridge of high pressure like what we were seeing at the end of July and into early August, with higher than normal temperatures,” he said. “We don’t get a sense right now that that’s going to return.”

The two B.C. Liberals outspent all other Kamloops candidates combined during May’s provincial election. Todd Stone and Peter Milobar spent a combined $208,161, while the seven other candidates in the race spent a combined $174,322. Stone’s final tally was $106,486, while Peter Milobar racked up $101,675 in expenses. Both Liberal candidates were elected. The NDP’s total sum was $113,411, driven mostly by Barb Nederpel, who spent $82,920 during the campaign. Nancy Bepple dropped $30,491 on her bid. As far as green in the Green Party goes, Dan Hines paid out $33,224 and Donovan Cavers spent $27,051, for a combined $57,542. The Communist Party of Canada candidates didn’t exactly share the wealth, as neither candidate spent beyond the required $250 filing fee.

A 41-year-old man dubbed a cocaine wholesaler to a Kamloops-based operation has been granted full parole from a federal penitentiary. The Parole Board of Canada recently released its decision on Jean Claude Auger. Auger was busted, along with seven other men, in connection to what RCMP called a United Nations gang-linked dial-adope operation running in 2012. Mounties raided his home to find $140,000 in cash stuffed in a wall, along with 1.2-kilograms of cocaine and a cutting agent. The sentencing judge said Auger led a double-life — a good son to a middle-class family and a well-liked neighbour on his North Shore street, but in reality a wholesaler selling large amounts of cocaine and motivated by little else but greed. He was sentenced to a fouryear prison term in B.C. Supreme Court in March 2015. Auger was granted full parole earlier this month. That followed his release on day parole in January this year. The parole board found Auger has worked co-operatively with his case manager, gained employment, maintained conditions of his release and “avoided negative associates.” Among the terms of his release, he must not possess or consume alcohol or illicit drugs, maintain employment, provide financial records to his case workers and allow monitoring of his cell phone. Before he was sent to jail, Auger was working as a fitness and martial-arts instructor.

McQuarrie vows tax freeze if successful in bid for mayor’s chair ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The newest candidate in the race to become mayor of Kamloops is pledging to freeze taxes in 2018. Bill McQuarrie said he will deliver a zero per cent tax increase during his year as mayor if elected in the Sept. 30 byelection. “Like many taxpayers, I am frustrated with what has become the accepted norm of regular tax increases of 2.5 per cent every year,” McQuarrie said in a release.

city develop weekends which showcase what Kamloops has to offer, bringing in both real estate agents and tourism workers. McQuarrie is also setting his sights on a major affordable housing project in the model of Medicine Hat, Alberta, which has caught media attention for its no-barrier program, which does not require residents to get clean before being housed. He said he wants to see the city go after funding from the provincial and federal governments, as well as community fundraising. “It’s not going to be 100 per cent successful, but it won’t be successful at all if you don’t try,” he said. McQuarrie said his overall goal is to push council to try new projects, rather than creating more plans. “Slow and steady, stay the course is maybe not the plan that brings Kamloops forward. Maybe it’s the plan that’s gotten
Kamloops into the trouble it has right now,” he said. McQuarrie was an opinion columnist with CFJC — a position from which he has now resigned — and owns photography printing store RGB Image Masters. He last ran for council in 2008, with a platform encouraging the North Shore to get involved in the ice wine industry. He joins former city councillor Ken Christian, retiree Reo Rocheleau and air ambulance medic Todd Mcleod in the race to replace Milobar. Thompson Rivers University professor Cindy Ross Friedman, who had also planned to campaign for mayor, left the race earlier this month citing family medical issues. More than a dozen candidates have also announced their intent to run for city council, to fill two vacant seats. The nomination period for both races opened Wednesday and runs until Aug. 25.

City council wants Ajax decision makers to visit ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops city council is calling on federal and provincial ministers with decision power on the Ajax mine to make a trip to the Interior. “We feel they are doing the city of Kamloops a disservice if they don’t visit the city of Kamloops for discussions with not only council but other stakeholder groups within the community,” said Coun. Tina Lange, suggesting language for a letter which will be penned to provincial Mines Minister Michelle Mungall and Environment Minister George Heyman, as well as federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. The move comes after the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and B.C. Environmental Assessment Office released a report on the mine’s potential effects last week. That report was criticized by councillors as having ignored city concerns. Coun. Denis Walsh said passages in the report — which will be used by ministers in their decision-making on Ajax — are written in a way that undercuts council’s opposition to the mine. In one instance, the report notes: “On July 17, 2017, the City of Kamloops council voted to oppose Ajax. On the same day, City of Kamloops announced that they have agreed in principle to a community benefits agreement in
which KAM [KGHM Ajax mine] would provide $3.8 million per year to the City of Kamloops throughout the life of the project.” Walsh said that statement carries a negative implication. “It’s just improper for a group like that to insinuate we’ve been bought out,” Walsh said, before calling on council to pass a motion formally endorsing the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation’s (SSN) position on the mine. SSN, which represents the Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn bands, opted to oppose the project earlier this year, following a panel review it ran independently of the environmental review process. The bands argue Ajax would cause irreparable damage to Jacko Lake, or Pipsell, an important cultural site on the mine property. The motion passed unanimously. Coun. Pat Wallace, who supports the mine, was not present for the meeting. While councillors vented their frustrations over the report, which is currently subject to 60 days of public comment, city staff said some of their concerns over the report may be less alarming than first thought. Streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow noted the city received a letter Monday night from the EAO answering some of its concerns, which had focused on the project’s summary assessment report. In the letter, Tracy James, the project assessment man-
ager on the Ajax file, said many of the city staff’s concerns are addressed more thoroughly in a joint assessment report — a separate, approximately 500page document — which must be considered by ministers. “The EAO’s draft summary assessment report is a highlevel overview of key procedural aspects and key issues in the environmental assessment,” she wrote. “It is neither intended to summarize all components of the joint assessment report, not is it the only document that is reviewed by ministers.” James said she also believes conditions in the report capture what was discussed during the Ajax review, something the city disputes. In addition to endorsing the SSN’s position, councillors will send another letter to the EAO, CEAA and other government organizations and ministers, once again outlining concern and opposition to the mine. But Walsh thinks the city should go even further. At the end of Tuesday’s regular council meeting, Walsh put forward a notice of motion calling on the province to suspend Ajax’s environmental assessment “until there has been an inquiry into and overhaul of ‘unacceptable, obsolete and unfair’ provincial mining conditions.’” Walsh said he thinks it’s time council took a harder stand against the mine. “It’s a fixed game,” he said. “I have no confidence in the B.C. environmental assessment process.”
Singh: We must be pro-job Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh told Kamloops city council Tuesday it needs to take a stronger pro-jobs stance as it continues to lobby against the Ajax copper and gold mine. In his mayor’s report, Singh urged councillors to make it clear they aren’t against job creation when
they discuss their opposition to the mine proposed south of Aberdeen, and to brand themselves as a projobs council. “Folks that are supportive of Ajax in the community, what’s really behind that? They want jobs,” Singh said. “Ajax is really just a position.”

Sanborn argued that at the very least the water-protection officer could “order an operation not to take place until an absolutely comprehensive [environmental] assessment is done.” KGHM’s Ajax proposal is for a $1.3 billion open-pit copper-gold mine on 17 square kilometres on the southern edge of Kamloops’ municipal boundaries, a couple of kilometres away from residential neighbourhoods. Operations would involve carving 65,000 tonnes per rock per day out of the ground to produce some 64,000 tonnes of copper and 130,000 ounces of gold over a 18-year mine life. Ajax has gone through a joint review by the B.C. Environment Assessment Office and Canadian Environmental Assessment Authority, which issued a draft report Aug. 1 that concluded the project

The Kamloops Area Preservation Association is seeking an order that could make it more difficult for Ajax to attain government approval.
“is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects to surface water,” or groundwater, if KGHM follows promised mitigation measures. The joint federal, provincial report on Ajax is open for public comment until Oct. 10, with a decision to come after that, but Sanborn characterized the project “on the cusp of approval.” The UVic ELC application is an attempted end run on the environmental assessment to get authorities to
consider the findings of its expert, hydrologist Gilles Wendling, whose report identified potential shortfalls in the assessment. Wendling’s report contends the environmental assessment didn’t consider the cumulative effects of potential contaminants on water, didn’t consider run-off as a potential source of contamination in a nearby creek and didn’t consider seasonal fluctuations in concentrations of potential contaminants that could
flow from the site. The environmental review identified concerns about increased concentrations of arsenic in groundwater at one location due to mining activity, but the company committed to evaluating groundwater quality and setting up “a resolution policy” to deal with complaints about water quality. In Wendling’s assessment, “proposed mining activities will likely create health hazards by modifying the quality of the drinking water” for some 150 residents downstream of the proposed mine. The Ajax project has proved contentious in Kamloops and surrounding communities. In July, Kamloops city council voted to oppose the project. And the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc First Nation has disagreed with the conclusions of the joint environmental review, declaring Ajax as “detrimental and too risky for the health and well-being.” That statement was issued jointly by Tk’emlups Chief Fred Seymour and Skeetchestn Chief Ron Ignace.

Transit service could jump in next three years ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops’ bus service could expand by more than 10,000 hours between now and 2020, city council heard Tuesday. Engineering manager Deven Matkowski told council BC Transit has offered 5,500 new transit hours starting September 2018, and plans to offer 3,000 hours in both 2019 and 2020.
Matkowski said the first round of hours would be used to increase frequency on the Tranquille, Aberdeen and Westsyde routes during peak hours and improve service on several other routes. The expanded transit system will cost the city an additional $226,175 in 2018 — a figure which includes route improvements and new hours rolling out next month as well — and another $192,350 in 2019.
Matkowski said if those figures go up due to rising fuel costs or wages, the city can offset the chance using a transit reserve fund. Mayor Arjun Singh said the city had expected to see 3,000 hours offered for 2018, but is being asked to take leftover hours other cities declined. “This is kind of challenging to be asked to accept these extra hours outside of a budget cycle,”
Singh said. “We always have this problem where transit asks us to do this thing and we don’t really have comparisons.” Coun. Tina Lange said regardless of timing the demand from riders for an increase in hours is intense. “I hear over and over, please, we need more hours because the service right now makes it difficult for me to get to work, or it’s difficult for employers to find
staff because of the hours and the availability of people moving through the city,” she said, noting the city has seen more riders when it has expanded the system previously. Council did not vote on the 2019 and 2020 expansions, but agreed by unanimous vote to take the 2018 hours. Council also agreed to order three new vehicles required for the expansion.

ANTHEM CHANGE RESPECTS PAST
O
ne of the more curious debates to flare up on our social media pages recently has been the discussion over changes to the lyrics in Canada’s national anthem. That some are so passionate about preserving the existing lyrics is inspiring, if not slightly misguided. At issue is whether or not the words, “in all thy sons command” should be changed to, “in all of us command.” The debate is a little moot. The House of Commons has already approved the change, and sent the legislation to the Senate for approval. However, Chilliwack-Hope MP Mark Strahl is hoping the fight’s not over yet. He says there’s a chance the Senate might refer the issue back to the Commons for reconsideration. And when that happens, he and the results from his recent constituency association poll will be ready. The questionnaire was mailed out to homes months ago. It asked residents, “Do you think the lyrics of our Canadian national anthem should be changed?” Strahl says he was bothered by the lack of consultation. Something as important and emblematic as the national anthem should not be altered without national consent. Others see it as yet another surrender to political correctness — a further emasculation of our national heritage. Not quite. In fact, the change better reflects the original version (at least the English translation from the original French). That version was changed in 1914 during a moment of patriotic fervour as Canada was sending its sons across the Atlantic to fight in The Great War. The fact that the nation’s daughters were also serving overseas did not seem to bother anyone at a time when women were still denied the vote. But times have changed. It’s simply not acceptable to exclude half the population in a song that is meant to embrace us all. The fix is simple. And despite what some argue, it’s one that respects tradition, rather than rejects it. — The Chilliwack Progress

Of cancer and peeing blue
I
t started with an itch. You know the kind, that teensy little twitch you scratch almost without thinking about it — except this teensy annoyance revealed something equally small but much more attention-grabbing. There it was, something that felt like a small ball bearing, right below the skin. Hmmmm. That’s new. So, even though there is no history of cancer in the family — except for those long-term smokers who both died from throat cancer — the thought crossed my mind it might be worth checking. The last mammogram was about three years ago and every one for the past two decades has been fine — but still. A week later, it was squish, breathe in, don’t move, repeat at the mammogram clinic. The tests have never bothered me and this one was no different. The woman working the machine’s magic said I would get a report in the mail in a couple of weeks. There was a phone call a day later instead, which came with the cryptic “we need more tests done” message. Still, no history, nursed all five kids, didn’t do hormonereplacement therapy when the doctor first suggested it to deal with menopause. It’s just an abnormality. More detailed scans followed, including one via ultrasound that took twice as long as I was told it would last. The first one revealed three lumps — two on the right side and one on the left. That leftie, however, was nothing to worry about. Just a cyst.
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL On to the next step to figure out what the other two might be. The first biopsy, which sliced part of that ball bearing off, revealed it to be nothing abnormal as well. Confidence grew there was nothing wrong. Two weeks later came the second biopsy, this one via mammography equipment. And that led to the phone call a few days later that brought cancer to our kitchen table. Since then, I’ve thanked Tommy Douglas a few times in my mind as the health care system ramped up to deal with this. I’ve had X-rays, a doppler and ECG to check out the heart, delighted lab techs with the lovely vein in the crook of my left arm, one that makes tapping me for blood so easy, had both a wire and dye installed in the right side — the dye to help my amazing surgeon check the closest lymph nodes for signs of cancer and the wire to help her find the little bugger that had set up shop inside me. There have been some funny moments. At one appointment there was a bit of a patient mixup; long story short when I said I was only there for some forms to be signed — and stuck to that, insisting I didn’t need the tests
being set up — well, who would have guessed there would be two Dales booked back to back? Or waiting for a biopsy only to learn all the doctors were tied up and the technician had to, as she put it, “go look for a doctor.” She found one. No one told me that, once the dye was injected, I would pee blue for a couple of days. Quite the regal feeling. This week marks the start of radiation, another medical step in this protracted process. Added to the cancer drug I have to take and the other drugs and supplements needed to deal with its side effects is the daily trip from here to Kelowna and back. The Freemasons in B.C. operate free vans that drive folks like me to cancer clinics. That’s a wonderful option to be able to use. As for me, there are many lessons and moments I can think of from the past three months. One highlight was seeing the rapidaccess breast health-care centre open at Royal Inland Hospital. What took weeks for me now can happen in a few hours. The biggest lesson, though, came from a question I asked my surgeon. I told her how I had followed all the health steps to avoid the risk of cancer, which isn’t in my family anyhow. So why me, I asked her. She smiled and said she didn’t know. I guess cancer doesn’t care. And it all started with that tiny itch. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass Dale Bass is the associate editor of KTW.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WILLIAMS LAKE COUPLE OFFERS HEARTFELT THANKS TO KAMLOOPS KTW FILE PHOTO
KTW readers fall on both sides of the debate over the proposed Ajax mine.
THOUGHTS ON AJAX On Tuesday, KTW asked if you were worried about the proposed Ajax mine or if you thought it was a good idea. Here is a sample of what we heard back:
WE NEED THE JOBS
Editor: I am disappointed with city staffers. Stop for looking for excuses. We need good paying jobs around here, not another Starbucks. Just let the Ajax mine open. If it is dust you guys worry about, I bet they will agree to put a dome on top of the rock piles, just like they did at Highland Valley Copper. Jon Lanza Kamloops
SILENT MAJORITY: YES Editor: The silent majority is in favour of Ajax. Maybe it will attract some
renters to all the empty buildings on Victoria Street? Len Skakun Kamloops
THEY WON’T LISTEN
Editor: I am thoroughly disgusted with our federal and provincial officials. They are not listening — we don’t want Ajax. Our quality of life and our enviroment is more important than any mine and I have stated that before in previous inquiries. So, once again, yes — I am worried. And, no — it is not a good idea. Linda Groulx Kamloops
Editor: On July 15, we were given evacuation orders to leave our home near Williams Lake by the Cariboo Regional District, due to encroaching wildfires. It was 8:30 p.m. My wife is in her 70s and I am 85. What joy to have to pack our car with survival gear at this time of the day. What to take and what to surrender to the flames? After having accumulated stuff for nearly 60 years, the decision was not easy having to leave within half an hour. It took us seven-and-a-half hours to arrive in Kamloops via several backroads, as Highway 97 was closed near 100 Mile House. At 4 a.m., we finally found a room — for one night only. The next morning saw us standing in the lobby of another packed hotel and wondering where to turn next. Although I am not given to metaphysical interpretations of human or natural events, a woman named Claire was as close to an angel as I have ever met. She was a volunteer who overheard our futile inquiry for accommodations and she sprang into action.
Claire informed us that a friend of an acquaintance would be willing to offer us a stay in their home. We were introduced to a second angel that morning: Shannon Schneider. Shannon asked us to follow her to her home. We were overwhelmed with the outpouring of such incredible generosity, compassion and kindness by strangers. Shannon and her husband Del’s home on Rosewood Crescent is beautiful and exceptional. We were shown the warmest and kindest hospitality imaginable. Needless to say, we formed quick heart bonds with such beautiful people. Acts of such compassion and kindness define the meaning of humanity. They will be remembered and paid forward. Again, thank you Shannon, Del, Claire and Kamloops from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to recover for four days in your wonderful home. We shall always remember you. Nick and Lotte Weber Williams Lake

to evacuate once again. The regional district is providing an information booklet for returning residents on the TNRD website, and says that clean-up kits are available for anyone returning after an evacuation. The kits are available for pick-up at the Clinton community hall (open until 7 p.m. on Tuesday only) or at the Cache Creek community hall. Both location are typically open until 5 p.m., Monday to Saturday. Meanwhile, Monte Lake residents received the all-clear on Monday night, as the evacuation alert originally issued July 26 was rescinded. That fire destroyed one home and reached 150 hectares in size.
Council moves to allow KIC workers at iTel Kamloops city council has taken the first step towards allowing a group of workers from the Kamloops Innovation Centre to move to Mission Flats for up to three years, while their office undergoes renovations. At its Tuesday meeting, council agreed to issue a notice of intent to allow a temporary use permit for 1850 Mission Flats Rd., which is home to the iTel call centre. The permit would allow about 74 employees to temporarily join the iTel workers at the site, with no options to renew. Coun. Donovan Cavers questioned whether the city should make the permit time shorter, or require workers to move back as soon as renovations on KIC’s Tranquille Road headquarters are complete. Director of development and Engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski said staff chose a three-year window to allow for delays in construction.

Alleged kidnap attempts lead to charges in P.G.
In U.S., Canadian minister notes importance to ‘condemn’ racism

PRINCE GEORGE — A 35-year-old Prince B.C. News George man faces several charges over allegations he tried to abduct two children in the city. Police said they were called Tuesday to a disturbance in a playground where a man and woman were fighting. The man ran off as police approached and they say they were told the man attempted to take a child from the playground before the woman intervened. Police said they caught up with the man and arrested him a short while later. After the arrest, police said they received another report that a man with the same description had tried to take a young boy earlier in the day but his mother fought off the man. Kenneth John of Prince George faces two counts of kidnapping and one count each of assault and obstructing a police officer.
BRIEFS
New concerns raised over Mount Polley WILLIAMS LAKE — RCMP in Williams Lake say five men are in custody as police investigate an arson and numerous break-ins in the Cariboo city. Insp. Jeff Pelley said no one was hurt and no homes were damaged thanks to fast action by area residents who put out a number of fires in the Lexington Road subdivision. The blazes were set early Tuesday and police said the investigation revealed a number of break-ins had occurred at the same time. Residents of Williams Lake were ordered out of their homes last month — thousands of them fleeing to Kamloops — when one of several wildfires around the community flared up, but no properties were lost and an evacuation alert that had been in effect was lifted Tuesday.
WASHINGTON — The foreign ministers of Canada and the United States have jointly condemned the racist-fuelled violence in Charlottesville, Va., with Chrystia Freeland adding that people have a responsibility to denounce such incidents.. Amid a furor over the incident and President Donald Trump’s handling of it, they used a meeting to make a public statement Wednesday. Freeland was in Washington for the opening round of NAFTA talks, and she dropped
in on the State Department to visit Rex Tillerson. The secretary of state first brought it up. With reporters present in the room, he opened his remarks by noting that Canada and the U.S. are close friends with shared values — which include freedom and tolerance. He said that’s why he felt it was appropriate to address the incident in Virginia, where white supremacists gathered and a car plowed into a group of anti-racism protesters, killing one and injuring more than a dozen others. “I want to add our own condemnation of that kind
of hatred and violence,’’ Tillerson said. “There’s just simply no place for that in our public discourse.’’ Freeland offered her condolences and added: “We are absolutely unequivocal in our condemnation of racist hatred.’’ She said Canada is not immune to racist violence, citing the case of the recent Quebec City mosque massacre. She said: “It’s important for us to speak up publicly and condemn it, as we’ve done.’’ Both ignored a shouted question about whether they
agreed with the controversial way Trump addressed the events. The president first blamed both sides, then after a few days issued a strident denunciation of white supremacists, then expressed regret that the media weren’t giving him credit, then returned to blaming both sides. The incident has left the president increasingly isolated. Numerous members of his own party have condemned his behaviour. An exodus of business leaders from his economic advisory teams caused him to disband them Wednesday.
U.S. priority in NAFTA expected to be autos THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — Early indications are pointing to a potential No. 1 priority for the U.S. in a renegotiated NAFTA: automobiles. It’s the specific issue that was mentioned first, at greatest length, and in most detail by Donald Trump’s trade czar as talks got underway in Washington Wednesday. Robert Lighthizer

pointed to the carnage in the manufacturing sector as the reason so many Americans view NAFTA as a failed agreement. “Thousands of American factory workers have lost their jobs because of these provi-
Does your
sions,’’ Lighthizer said in his opening remarks. He cited priorities for the sector, designed to boost production of parts in North America, and in the United States. Industry members are warning Lighthizer
to handle the matter with care as the details are complicated, and any wrong moves could either drive up vehicle prices. There is also a risk that changes could make North American producers less com-
petitive, or even force them to just ignore the new rules and simply pay a tariff that would be passed along to consumers. Canada, the U.S. and Mexico have been trading under NAFTA rules since 1994.

Since mobile search is so prominent with local intent, it’s valuable to understand how effective local advertising is to your business. Mobile ads are a strong part in driving search traffic to local websites. Many business owners are unaware of their ability to track potential customers. In order to track traffic and prospects you must have analytics set up on your website. I guess the next question is, do you have a website? If so, is it
mobile friendly and responsive?
Perhaps your business needs a health check? A big part of my role as a Digital Marketing Strategist is to help businesses identify goals and develop strategy to create their digital footprint. If your business holds a Facebook page with a most recent post from September 2011 and a website lagging on speed without mobile capability, I would like to hear from you! My intention is to look for missed opportunity and help educate business owners on marketing services they now have access to. “We love showcasing our cars and the Hot Nite event in Kamloops This Week.

CURB DISTRACTED DRIVING
D
id you know drivers who text are 23 times more likely to be involved in a crash or near collision than non-distracted drivers? Distracted driving and other unsafe behaviours behind the wheel are a hazard year-round, but will become more dangerous in coming weeks, when kids head back to school In a recent CAA survey, parents with young kids reported they see an increase in unsafe driving practices in school zones. Help keep everyone
safe with easy ways to avoid distracted driving.
Make time
The No. 1 thing we can all do to be safer is give ourselves enough travel time to get to our destination so we don’t have to rush. Time is your friend, so try to do what you can to give yourself some extra minutes — whether it’s waking up earlier, planning a more efficient route or getting some tasks done the night before.
Plan ahead
Set the GPS and review all maps and directions before
heading out. If you’re unsure where you’re going, Google directions or call for instructions while you’re still in the driveway. It can be tempting to do this while you’re moving, but even hands-free calls have been linked to higher crash and near-collision rates.
Before driving
Make sure the kids are in their car seats or buckled up and have any items they might need in reach, including something to drink or play with. Stow and secure loose objects like your bag and cellphone so
you’re not adjusting them if they shift while you’re driving. Do daily tasks like makeup, shaving and drinking coffee before leaving home.
While driving
Remember distracted driving is any activity that lessens your focus on the road. Let your calls go to voicemail and don’t text, use apps or read emails. Checking a text for only five seconds means that at 90 kilometres per hour, you’ve travelled the length of a football field blindfolded. — newscanada.com
OTTAWA — Documents show Transport Canada went ahead with building a $5.4-million crash barrier at one of its vehicle test sites last year without knowing if it was worth the money. The auditor general questioned the project in Blainville, Que., in his fall 2016 report, since the government slashed its crash test budget by 59 per cent the same year it opted to build the outdoor barrier. The report questioned the rationale for the project and whether it would get any use. A briefing note to Transport Minister Marc Garneau months before the report landed shows officials didn’t know if they would receive value for taxpayers’ money. Officials told Garneau the investments provided a “broader value to Canada” — the documents don’t elaborate — even though there was no way to assess that value. “While there is value in this proactive project,’’ the memo said, “the level of potential use has not been
defined.’’ The department’s recommendations about the project have been redacted from the briefing note, which was obtained by The Canadian Press under the Access to Information Act. Officials say the information was too sensitive for public release. The department does say adding the outdoor barrier “allows for a wider range of vehicle testing,’’ such as on natural gas and hydrogen-fuelled cars that cannot be tested on existing facilities. In an email, department spokeswoman Marie-Anyk Cote said the $5.4-million project helped to ensure the centre “remains a stateof-the-art facility.” “The auto sector is experiencing a period of fundamental technological change, which will impact testing needs,’’ Cote said. “It is important for Canada to ensure the centre remains current to address these new technologies, such as alternative-fuel vehicles and automated technologies.’’ Transport Canada bills the centre as a
unique, all-in-one facility that offers testing capabilities unmatched by any other facility in the country. The briefing note to Garneau said Transport Canada has “invested significantly’’ in the test centre — the previous Conservative government pledged $14.2 million in upgrades in 2009 — but subsequent use of the centre hasn’t increased to the same degree. Transport Canada uses the facility about half the time; the other half is for private companies that pay user fees. In the Liberals’ 2016 budget, the government earmarked $5.4 million for the project as part of federal infrastructure spending. The department says design and construction of the barrier is ongoing. Garneau had planned a visit to the test centre in July 2016 and officials originally discussed having him make an announcement about the spending and construction. Officials killed the idea, however, fearing “negative attention this fall when the auditor general’s report is released.”

Reward for deed
In July, I went to a North Kamloops bank to withdraw $500 from the machine and was refused on a technicality. Instead, I went inside the bank to get money from the teller. In that time, a man came to use the same machine, which then spewed out $500. He very honestly took this money inside to a teller who, the next day, figuered out it was mine and phoned me to inform me that the money was being held. I am so very grateful to this kind and upstanding person. I would like to thank him and give him a reward for his generosity. He will know who he is — please contact Kamloops This Week’s editor, by calling 250-3747467 to get in touch with me. They have my contact information. I will verify some details about the situation to confirm the reward. Thanks, again. — Joan Sabo Kamloops

amloops has no gay bars. It has no spaces known solely for inclusivity. And if it weren’t for a small group of volunteers, the city would have no events outside of the university in which to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community. “We’re creating them,” said Kirstin McLaughlin, president of Kamloops Pride.
The inaugural downtown pride parade, dubbed Out in the Street, has grown into four days of pride events. McLaughlin said the decision to expand was to offer more opportunities to showcase the LGBTQ+ community, as well as to include people of all ages. It all begins on Thursday night at the Blue Grotto with the Night Out Burlesque Showcase. The club is donating ticket sales to the 19-plus show to Kamloops Pride. It will feature local and out-of-town performers, including contortionist Vixen Von Flex.

‘We’re turning CJs into a gay nightclub’ From A17
On Saturday, Kamloops Pride will host a booth at the Kamloops Regional Farmers’ Market on St. Paul Street in front of the former Stuart Wood elementary. Volunteers will be on hand during market hours for a meet and greet. They will also be selling tickets for the Proud Out Loud dance,
which follows later that night at CJs Nightclub. “We’re turning CJs into a gay nightclub,” McLaughlin said. While not a designated gay bar, the nightclub once known for cowboys and Texas teas has made strides to become more inclusive. It recently added a gender-neutral washroom and bar staff underwent cultural
sensitivity training to ensure the event will be open and friendly. CJs is also donating ticket sales to Kamloops Pride. “They’re really putting themselves out there for us,” McLaughlin said. Finally, the main event — Sunday’s parade. As of KTW’s press deadline, about 55 organizations and

• This year marked the 20th anniversary of the Prince George pride parade • Thompson Rivers University will host its sixth pride parade this fall • Hundreds are expected to march in Kamloops’ first downtown pride parade businesses had registered, along with about 100 individuals. Those numbers don’t take into account the people who will show up day-of to sign up. It also doesn’t take into consideration how many people will represent each organization, which McLaughlin expects will range from
between three to 10 people on average. Asked about goals, McLaughlin said Kamloops Pride will be feeling out the event’s first year, but feedback in advance has generally been: It’s about time and what took so long? “The response has been overwhelmingly
positive,” McLaughlin said. Those who wish to march in the parade are asked to arrive at Riverside Park at 10 a.m. on Sunday. The parade begins at 11 a.m., marching up past City Hall, down Victoria Street to Fifth Avenue and back via Lansdowne Street. Drivers are advised of road closures and parking limitations from late morning into the early afternoon. Victoria Street will be closed from First Avenue to Fifth Avenue; Fifth Avenue will be closed from Victoria Street to Lansdowne Street; and Lansdowne Street will be reduced
to single-lane traffic. Those who park on the aforementioned blocks prior to the parade will not be able to leave until it wraps up. Pride parades are often known for their artistic flares and those who attend on Sunday are invited to express themselves with colourful clothing, feather boas and glitter. But, what’s most important? “Come how you feel comfortable,” McLaughlin said. For ticket information to Kamloops Pride Weekend events, go online to kamloopspride.wixsite.com/ kamloopspride/events.

hat pinkhaired flamethrower from Abbotsford is among the girls carrying the torch for female baseball this week on McArthur Island. Raine Feria Padgham was added to the Kamloops Riverdogs team that will be vying for gold on home soil in the 13-and-under peewee AA division at the Western Canada Baseball Championships, which begin on Thursday night and wrap up on Sunday. “The biggest complaint that we used to get as parents is we got told to make sure Raine doesn’t throw the ball too hard because some of their young boys can’t catch yet,” said Allan Padgham, Raine’s father.
RAINE FERIA PADGHAM
Raine, 12, is one of two females who will be playing for both her province in the 14-andunder girls division and a boys’ team in the peewee AA division, the other being 13-year-old Brynlee Rice, who will suit up for both Alberta and the Olds Spitfires. “They all used to say that I couldn’t hit or something,” Brynlee said. “That was probably the hardest. So I just hit the ball. “I haven’t really seen many girls out there while I play, but I felt comfortable right away.” Both Raine and Brynlee have spent nearly all of their
young baseball careers playing with boys and are champing at the bit to play with fellow females on provincial teams this weekend. All-girls baseball programming is hard to find in Canada, but the Kamloops Minor Baseball Association (KMBA) is aiming to introduce a pilot program next year. “It’s still a work in progress, figuring out ages, but we’ll likely start by targeting younger divisions,” KMBA president Chris Balison said. “Given our increase in registration numbers, it would be a good idea to come up with a plan to pilot some girls-specific programming here in Kamloops.” The Kamloops Minor Fastball Association has long offered girls’ programming. The organization’s president Jessica Culbertson said about 130 girls registered this season.
There are about 50 girls playing on boys’ teams in the KMBA ranks. The idea for allgirls baseball gained steam when KMBA executive director Sean Wandler was sharing ideas with a Baseball Canada committee and bumped into a Quebec-based woman who is having success with a girls’ program in La Belle Province. “It will give them a safe environment to try the sport and learn about the opportunities outside the KMBA, such as the B.C. selects girls’ program and other opportunities like that,” Balison said. Claire Eccles, a 19-year-old lefty knuckleballer, made history when she became the first female to play in the collegiate West Coast League — a breeding ground for professional baseball players. The White Rock product had her first relief appear-
ance for the Victoria HarbourCats on June 7 and won her first start in non-league play on June 18. Eccles was invited to throw the first pitch at the Toronto Blue Jays game at Rogers Centre on Tuesday. Girls across the country are dreaming big. “I want to make Team Canada for girls’ teams and the boys at the same time,” Raine said. Brynlee was petrified she would be forced to choose between playing for either the boys or girls in Kamloops this weekend, but organizers told the family she could do both. “She’s got 11 big brothers on the team,” said Brynlee’s mom, Jody, referring to her daughter’s Spitfire teammates. “I never have to worry about her dating. She’s grown up with these kids. There’s no animosity, no jealousy.
BRYNLEE RICE
“They all jive.” Taurie Hammer rounds out the contingent of girls who will play for the Spitfires this weekend, Brynlee’s only female teammate. The Riverdogs were recently introduced to Raine, their only female teammate, at a practice that was followed by a barbecue. “There’s no issue with her at all, not when they saw her play,” said Riverdogs’ coach Tim Foster, who added Raine to the roster on the advice of multiple coaches who watched the hurler mow down their teams. “A player is a player and they all came

Barriere fastball team wins Western Canadian title MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Bruins are the pride of Barriere. Head coach Phil Ransome said his team stuck together through lean years and its tenacity paid off in a big way in 2017. The under-14 Barriere Minor Fastball Association Bruins won gold at both the provincial and Western Canadian Softball Championships. “We have a long history of fastball being a big sport in our community and having really good pitchers,” Ransome said. “And we’ve been working hard the past five years. They’re phenomenal. They work really hard at it.” Barriere played host to the under-14 B.C. championship after spending the season playing against teams from Merritt, Kamloops, Clearwater and 100 Mile House. Buoyed by strong pitching — the Bruins’ windmill hurlers were reaching speeds nearing 55 miles per hour — from Georgia Clough and Garner Ransome, the smalltown club was confident in victory on home turf.
The under-14 Barriere Bruins won the B.C. title on home soil and went on to claim gold at the Western Canadian Softball Championships in North Battleford, Sask., earlier this month.
The Bruins rolled over the Terrace Grizzlies 9-2 in the goldmedal game, securing their place at the Western championships, which were held in North Battleford, Sask., from Aug. 2 to Aug. 7. Barriere, a municipal district with a population of about 1,700, was paying attention. “It was quite a big deal,” Ransome said. “Friends and family members were watching the live feed online.” Clough did not pitch at Westerns, as females were not
allowed to participate in the boys’ tournament, and several of her Barriere teammates did not make the trip to the prairies, so the Bruins picked up a few players from Terrace, Fleetwood and Clearwater to round out their roster. Garner Ransome, Nathan Thiessen and Ty Giesbrecht had excellent pitching performances in Saskatchewan, while Todd Phillips and Adam Gordon led the charge offensively. “We had timely contributions from everyone,” coach Ransome
said. “In a round-robin game against Manitoba, Todd Phillips hit his first career out-of-the-park home run, a moment he and his teammates will always remember.” Barriere posted a perfect 7-0 record at Westerns and thumped the Saskatchewan Rangers 8-1 in the gold-medal game. Plans are being made for the Bruins to take it one step further at the 2018 Under-14 National Softball Championship in Stouffille, Ont. “A big part of this is how long they’ve been working at it,”
Ransome said. “To remember how small they were when they first went to provincials and got their butts whooped and see how far they’ve come, that’s a huge part of the story.”
The rosters
Helping the Bruins to a B.C. banner were Adam Gordon, Georgia Clough, Ty Hartman, Jacob Dewitt, Liam Hunt, Garner Ransome, Evan Paul, James Celesta, Cy Celesta and Raine Celesta-Camille. Winning a Western title with Barriere were Gordon, Hartman, Dewitt, Hunt, Ransome, Ty Giesbrecht, Emanuel Mahil, Will Edmonds, Tommy Dame, Devin Green, Brendan Green, Todd Phillips and Nathan Thiessen.

Bonnie preferred a simple lifestyle and was always happiest when she was surrounded by her family and the people closest to her. After downsizing from her home with a big yard to a condo lifestyle she traded her love for gardening for a small deck that she

Douglas Howard Wilson The family of Douglas Howard Wilson is heartbroken to announce his passing at Kamloops Hospice on August 8, 2017. While we mourn his loss, we are so thankful that Doug is no longer suffering. Since 1998, he has battled his way through six different cancers with unbelievable tenacity and put up the bravest of fights, always remaining cheerful and positive. He was our true hero. Doug leaves behind his loving and devoted wife Bev, son Keith (Samantha), daughter Terri Anne (Nicholas) and son Ryan (Joanna). Left with wonderful memories of Grandpa are the grandchildren he loved so much Reece and Ryland (Keith and Sam) and Ella Mae (Ryan and Jo). Also missing him will be his brother Ken (Donna) and Bev’s sister Yvonne (Bill) and a host of nieces and nephews and dear friends. Doug worked at CP Rail for 39 years and finished off his time there as Chief Clerk. He had many passions in life – one of them being film. This love began at an early age in North Bend where he grew up and was involved in organizing the showing of films at the North Bend hall. He served on the Board of the Kamloops Film Society for many years and immensely enjoyed being involved in the selection of the films to be shown. He rarely missed attending the Film Society movies. He was passionate about photography and would spend many hours searching for the perfect shot. He took some amazing photos in his lifetime – many of them now gracing the walls of family and friends’ homes. Doug was a proud member of the Knights of Pythias for many years holding several offices, one of them being Grand Chancellor for the domain of British Columbia. Through the Knights, he made many lifelong friendships
and travelled throughout Canada and the US attending Supreme Lodge conventions. He was our consummate travel agent and loved to plan family vacations. Once the family was grown, he would spend hours planning our next adventure, most often with Yvonne and Bill. We will truly miss his research, planning and knowledge especially about North America and Europe. He loved to camp and we spent many hours at our favorite lakes either fishing or sitting around a campfire. Doug was very interested in and loved to do research on local history. He was a “fixer” and would spend hours doing his own repairs rather than hire someone. He was a proud father who instilled integrity and good work ethics in his kids. In his earlier years, he loved to play softball and curl. For the past few years, he has joined Bev in her passion for bowling. Doug is predeceased by his Mom and Dad Kay and Howard Wilson, his mother and father-in-law Anna and Frank Prosko and his niece and nephew Michelle and Michael Wilson. The family is forever grateful to Dr. Newmarch and Dori for their years of caring for Doug through all his struggles. Also deserving thanks are Dr. Proctor and his staff at the Cancer Clinic, Dr. Cleland, Dr. Kramer and Sarb and his staff at Save-On Pharmacy, and finally, we can’t say enough about the loving care Doug received at Hospice. They treated Doug with such dignity, compassion and respect. We could not have asked for a more peaceful place for Doug to spend his last days. Therefore, in lieu of flowers, please send donations to the Kamloops Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9 in Doug’s memory. We will be holding a Celebration of Life for this amazing man at a later date.

Ralph J Lazzarotto January 1926 - May 2017 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. 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

Catherine Mary Hamaguchi January 15, 1950 – August 4, 2017 It is with broken hearts that we announce that on August 4, 2017 our loving wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend passed away with her grandchildren, daughters and husband at her side. After bravely fighting Multiple Myeloma for three and half years, she succumbed to the effects of the cancer. Cathy is survived by her husband Robert, two daughters Nicole (Carl Poole) of Port Alberni, Christina (Jordan Lester) of Kamloops, four grandchildren Amiko, Jack, Cate and Flora, sisters Margaret Ann Buchignani and Barb Irving, both of Calgary and numerous nieces and nephews. Cathy was born and raised in Rossland, B.C., the youngest of three girls. When she completed her high school education, she entered into the field of nursing and completed her RN at St. Paul’s Hospital in 1971. Following graduation she was employed at Grand Forks Hospital and married to Robert in 1973. She worked at Richmond General Hospital while Robert studied Engineering at UBC. Following Robert’s graduation from UBC as a Mining Engineer in 1975, Cathy worked at Granisle Health Clinic, Princeton Hospital, and 15 years at Pine Grove Care Center in Kamloops until her retirement in 2008. She was know as an “energizer bunny” who work tirelessly with the utmost compassion and respect for aging individuals. Cathy had a big heart and a huge capacity to give herself to others. Even when tired and unwell she never focused on herself. Instead she always made sure her loved ones were at the forefront of her affection. She was a major support and influence on her daughters and played a huge role as a grandma with her four grandchildren. She was a wonderful caregiver to her pets even the ones with undesirable characteristics that left them previously abandoned. Recently she walked alongside with her beloved Golden lab, Keiko on their shared cancer journey.
Cathy loved life and was always enthusiastic to do anything. Whether it was exploring the world with Bob or enjoying the familiar trails in Peterson Creek and Stake Lake with her friends and daughters. Quiet times were enjoyed with her current book on the go or tending to the most brilliant flower gardens. Her cooking and baking was exceptional and she shared this with her friends and family. Due to her desire to help other sufferers, Cathy took on the role of being the Support Leader for Myeloma Canada in the Kamloops Area. Please support Cathy in her last endeavor and join her in the Myeloma Canada March at Riverside Park, starting at Uji Garden at 9:00 am, August 26, 2017 or donate to Myeloma Canada by going to the website: myelomacanada. akaraisin.com/myelomamarch2017/kamloops Her team is Walkie Talkie.
September 5, 1932 - April 23, 2017
Her family would like to acknowledge the compassion and loving care provided by Colleen Richter NP, Dr. Proctor and the team at the Cancer Clinic, the nurses in Ambulatory Care, Dr. Farren and Carol, Palliative Care RN. A Celebration of her life will take place in Kamloops at the Southwest Baptist Community Church at 2:00 pm on August 19, 2017. In lieu of flowers and gifts Cathy’s family would appreciate a donation in her name to the above-mentioned Myeloma Canada or to your local SPCA. Condolences may be expressed to the family from ww.myalternatives.ca
In Loving Memory Of Madeline Rankel 1936 – 2015
Pennies
From Heaven
by Charles L. Mashburn I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me
To Mom
How very, very lucky we were That you were our mother You opened our minds and our hearts. You always had the time To tell us a story or sing us a song. You always picked us up When we fell down. You will always be the most important lady in our lives. Your love and guidance will Always be with us. We wish you could have been With us longer, but we are so Grateful for the time we had. All of us, your friends and family, Will truly miss you. Thank you so much For being our mother. May God care for you As you did for us.
Missed by All
He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.
