Stone mulling bid for B.C. Liberal leadership
DRIEST SUMMER EVER RECORDED

The summer of 2017 will go down as the driest ever recorded in Kamloops. According to Environment Canada meteorologist Doug Lundquist, there’s a good reason for last week’s drought declaration — a pronounced paucity of precipitation. According to Environment Canada data, Kamloops received just 8.6 millimetres of rain through June, July and August, a three-month period when the city normally receives 93 millimetres of rain. June saw 3.4 millimetres of rain fall (the month normally

receives 34 millimetres). July also recorded 3.4 millimetres of rain (the month normally receives 30 millimetres). August took in 1.8 millimetres of rain (the month normally

receives 29 millimetres). Lundquist noted Kamloops has two wet seasons (summer and winter) and two dry seasons (spring and fall).
“Unless we get some significant precipitation in the next little while, the problems we are seeing will persist,” he said, referring to wildfires and drought. See 50 DAYS, A12
Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone is seriously considering a run at the B.C. Liberal leadership, saying Wednesday he is in touch with party members throughout the province. And, while he has yet to enter, Stone is reaching out to members, positioning his background as a tech entrepreneur — and the youngest who would enter the race — and considering the leadership’s steep financial price. The B.C. Liberal Party has set a $600,000 cap for spending, a level Stone said serious contenders will reach. Those contenders must also contribute to party coffers beyond that sum,

making the real fundraising need about $750,000. “The components for any leadership campaign are message, membership and money,” he told KTW. “If you don’t have all three in plenty, you won’t be successful.” Any successful leader will need to draw support from each of B.C.’s 87 ridings due to the weighting of the vote. Following the 2013 election, Stone, then a rookie MLA, became

transportation minister as soon as he took office. He is now reaching out to members across British Columbia. “Where did we go wrong the last year or two years and what do we need to do to restore the trust of British Columbians?” Stone said he expects leadership candidates to include former cabinet ministers Andrew Wilkinson and Mike Bernier, rookie MLA Michael Lee and, potentially, former Surrey mayor and current federal Conservative MP Dianne Watts and former B.C. finance minister Mike de Jong. Another Interior MLA, George Abbott, ran unsuccessfully against Christy Clark in 2010.

A streaking flash of red raced across the Kamloops skyline Monday night, dropping behind Mount Paul as it left a red glow in its path. In Nelson, similar sightings were reported, though eyewitnesses there posted on social media the speeding ball of light was followed by what sounded like a sonic boom, possibly indicating the meteor made impact with Earth, thereby becoming a meteorite. (According to the Spaceguard Centre and Observatory a meteor is a meteoroid that is observed as it burns up in the Earth’s atmosphere — a shooting star. A meterorite is a meteoroid that survives its passage through the Earth’s atmosphere and impacts the Earth’s surface.) What appeared to be a meteor lit up the Kamloops sky at about 10:15 p.m., filling the clear, black space with a deep red glow as the projectile headed

in a northeast direction. Social-media sightings were reported from the western U.S. and, in B.C., Kamloops, Merritt, Osoyoos, Nelson and Vancouver Island. There were also sightings reported in Alberta. B.C.’s Chief Fire Information Officer Kevin Skrepnek was in Nelson when he felt what seemed similar to a power surge, followed
by streetlights “shorting out” at the same time. “Then, to the East, I saw a reddish fire streak in the sky, headed north,” Skrepnek told the Castlegar News. Initially, he said he heard nothing, but about a minute later a massive sound — similar to a rolling thunderclap occurred across the valley, for about five seconds.
“It all happened quite quickly, I didn’t see any ground contact,” he explained. Reports on social media indicate the possible meteor hit ground in the West Kootenays near Nelson. The Cranbrook College of the Rockies meteor camera tracked the fireball high over Nelson and Kootenay Lake. It lasted for about 10 seconds. The American Meteor Society estimates the meteor terminated over Meadow Creek, which is 30 kilometres north of Kaslo along Kootenay Lake, or about 70 kilometres north of Nelson.

eral civic election of October 2018, which he plans to make regardless of how he fares in the byelection. But in the one year of the term remaining, he would like to focus on the doctor shortage in Kamloops. He suggested the city look at offering its own financial incentives to lure doctors here, something Kincardine and other smaller municipalities in Ontario have done successfully. “Kamloops has a lot to offer for quality of life, but my under-
standing is, although doctors do get paid rather high relative to the average Canadian, they also come out of school with a pretty large student loan and debt and have lots of choices,” he said. Eadie said the city should also take advantage of its sunny atmosphere by getting more involved in the solar energy industry. He said it could offer tax breaks or other incentives for solar retrofits, installing electric vehicle chargers and building houses to be solarready. Twenty-two people are running to fill two open seats on council, while another six candidates are hoping to replace former mayor Peter Milobar.

Jon Eadie has a family history of politics. The Kamloops city council candidate, who is running in the Sept. 30 byelection, has been interested in politics since his teen years, but the BC Hydro manager said his run was inspired by his mother, Anne. “She’s been in municipal politics since not long after she retired from teaching,” said the younger Eadie. Anne now serves as mayor in his hometown of Kincardine, Ont. “She legitimately reads everything and makes, in my opinion, a good, educated decision for the best of the municipality,” Eadie said. “That’s what I like. I’m not saying in Kamloops specifically, but I think a lot of people in Canada would feel that’s lacking.” Eadie came to Kamloops from

Hilke: Let’s take a risk
MAYORAL CANDIDATE WILL DONATE SALARY TO CHARITY Glenn Hilke refers to himself as a full-time volunteer. He said his goal is to bring action to city hall, which has frustrated him in the past with the way it has approached issues around homelessness, poverty and affordable housing.
ANDREA KLASSEN

Glenn Hilke wants city hall to take more risks. “There’s some great projects happening across North America, where cities that are facing the same problems we are, they’re taking that risk and they’re saying, ‘Look, we’ve got to try something at least,’” Hilke said. A self-described full-time volunteer who helped found Jubilee Urban Movement Partners (JUMP), a non-profit that operates a drop-in centre and meal program, Hilke is one of six candidates hoping to become the next mayor of Kamloops. The winner in the Sept. 30 byelection will replace former mayor Peter Milobar until the general civic election of October 2018. Hilke said his goal is to bring action to city hall, which has frustrated him in the past with the way it has approached issues around homelessness, poverty and affordable housing. “They need to be open to pilot projects,” he said, noting the city’s social and community development manager stated 2,500 units of affordable housing are required in Kamloops. As mayor, Hilke said he would encourage the city to allow new solutions, such as using tiny houses. “You can get a 5,000-squarefoot lot and you can build on that probably three, comfortably, 400-square-foot houses that
DAVE EAGLES/KTW
share infrastructure,” he said. “If it fails, we learn from it. It’s not the end of the world.” For those living on the streets, Hilke said one of his first actions would be finding a place where homeless people are allowed to sleep, which could be outdoors or indoors, depending on the season. While tenting is allowed in the city between certain hours, Hilke said there are few places where people can actually set up. “If you can get people coming to an area or areas — let’s say there are two, one North Shore and one South Shore — at least you have an opportunity for social-services agencies to collaborate,” he said. “I’m sure there would be funding found like that to get those places staffed overnight.” Hilke also wants to see the city become more active in
seeking funding from federal and provincial governments for housing projects by working with non-profits. As well, he wants to see building and planning processes, bylaws and regulations reviewed, to look for barriers that may be driving up costs or otherwise keeping affordable housing projects from getting off the ground. That could mean creating new breaks for developers whose projects will help house Kamloops’ poor. “We’re not cutting corners on code, obviously, because that’s a legal issue, but something to do with taxes, something to do with the costs of permits, something to do with variance costs — all these little steps and expenses that add up,” he said. Referring to his charity work, Hilke said he would forgo the mayor’s salary for the remainder of this term — $100,000 or more — and use it to set up a charitable foundation, with the goal of encouraging donations from other residents. He said a board of directors could decide how to use the funds. There are six people running for mayor: Hilke, Ken Christian, Stu Holland, Mike Mckenzie, Todd Mcleod and Bill McQuarrie.

The satellite offices and the outreach I see at local events like Canada Day are a big part of this. The city also needs to work together with the RCMP with efforts for preventing crime. “We also need to work with local groups to reduce homelessness, drug abuse and other issues which will have a positive effect on the crime in our community. “We just can’t lay all of our problems at the RCMP’s feet. “Working together on several fronts to prevent crime should be our focus.” NICHOLAS ADAMS “Kamloops residents have seen an uptick in crime as of late. “An increase in police and

highest crime rates compared to cities of a similar size. “This is due to a number of factors, including the opioid crisis, increased gang activity and the wildfires. “In combination, these issues have placed an enormous demand on local resources. “At the same time, it’s access to these resources that’s keeping many who were displaced here during the wildfires from returning to their home communities. “The city and the support agencies have done a fantastic job given the level of current resources. “There is obviously a need for more resources to address the increased demand and I would advocate for the city to be applying for funding through both the provincial government and the Red Cross BC Fires Community Partnership Program to hire more support workers. “We simply need more skilled professionals and resources to deal with the increased demand. “Because we are Kamloops, and helping people is what we do, we aren’t going to turn them away, but we also need to ensure we are protecting our residents and businesses.”

Compensation demanded if Ajax is approved ABERDEEN HIGHLANDS: ‘IT’S AS IF THE EOC/CEAA STAFF WERE WORKING ON BEHALF OF KGHM’ Aberdeen Highlands has been in development for many years, with this home bein constructed in 2009.
ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A major developer in Kamloops says if the proposed Ajax mine is approved, proponent KGHM must provide financial compensation for the loss of value of its lands and bonding for all possible mishaps at the mine site. If KGHM does not commit to such action, the authorities must reject the mine application, Aberdeen Highlands Development Corp. (AHDC) president Terry Ternier said in a letter submitted as part of comments posted on the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office website. Aberdeen Highlands continues to develop a large swath of land in Aberdeen, west of Pacific Way, with a kilometre of the proposed openpit copper and gold mine. “If anyone believes that AHDC would even attempt to develop these lands and risk further investment while the mine is in operations, they are living in a dream world,” Ternier said. “That will not be the case and to expect an investor to wait 25-plus

years for the mine to decommission is greedy, naive and arrogant. Ternier said the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency (CEAA) have recognized the impacts Ajax will have, “but have blatantly and recklessly discounted them without any requirement for
compensation, as no matter what supposed mitigation is applied, it will not reverse or prevent the negative impacts that will result . . . It’s as if the EAO/CEAA staff were working on behalf of KGHM.” If Ajax proceeds, Ternier said, the project will have a negative effect on development in Kamloops.
“Our financial investment into these lands will be obliterated and the future development lands removed from the ability of the city to meet growth demands over the next 20 years. “So, this not only affects AHDC, but also the City of Kamloops and all its residents.” Areas of concern noted by
Ternier in the letter include noise, vibration, dust and air quality, health risks and groundwater quantity and quality. When contacted by KTW, an AHDC spokeswoman would only say concerns raised involve lands yet to developed, not property now in development. KGHM Ajax declined to comment on the letter when contacted by KTW. A decision on Ajax is expected to be made by mid-November. The fate of the proposed mine south of Aberdeen will be determined by federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna and provincial Mines Minister Michelle Mungall and provincial Environment Minister George Heyman. For the proposal to proceed, it must secure the approval of both Victoria and Ottawa. If one of the two nixes Ajax, the mine will not be built.

POOR JUDGMENT BY ‘PROUD BOYS’
L
ast week, four Canadian Forces members who disrupted a Mi’kmaw ceremony in Halifax on Canada Day resumed their regular duties. A fifth member has since voluntarily left the military, a move that was apparently unrelated to the Canada Day incident. No charges were laid against the remaining four, who claim to be members of a group called the Proud Boys. Instead, they have been placed on probation for a move that Rear-Admiral John Newton called “monumentally poor judgment.” News of the Halifax incident has been swallowed up somewhat by bigger incidents, but like Charlottesville in the U.S. these Proud Boys were staging a counter-protest against a group of Indigenous activists who were conducting a ceremony near the statue of Halifax founder Edward Cornwallis, who established the policy of genocide against the Mi’kmaq people. The Proud Boys are a right wing group founded by Gavin McInnes, who espouses white supremacist views. Along with calling themselves “Western Chauvinists” and using mottos like “We cherish free speech” and “We love our guns,” becoming a Proud Boy includes taking a beating from other proud boys while naming five breakfast cereals. The fact the military feels probation is enough punishment is a sad testament to a lack of understanding of how serious and wrong the actions were. The Armed Forces should be the epitome of Canadian ideals, both those ensconced in the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and our general values of fair play and the desire to create a just society. These five men showed by their actions and membership in this racist group that they don’t share those ideals. They may be remorseful about their actions, but doubtless not about their beliefs. By not taking action, the Armed Forces has tacitly supported their beliefs. Now that is “monumentally poor judgment.” — Penticton Western News

Cold War fear in a fireball
I
t was simultaneously brilliant and beautiful and terrifying as hell. Never before had I enjoyed a front-row seat to a meteor racing across the sky, so close it was as though I could reach up and grab the hot, red fireball. And never before was I filled with a sense of dread, so acute I can still feel the anxiety today. When the meteor arced across the clear night sky on Monday night, I was soaking in 104 degrees F of bliss, in our hot tub with my son, talking about everything under the sun — or, in this case, under the almost-full moon. In fact, we had just finished discussing the volatile situation involving North Korea and the U.S. — with my son explaining why he didn’t think North Korean leader Kim Jong-un had the capacity to create a nuclear winter — when the meteor appeared. From our backyard, my son was facing mounts Peter and Paul; I was facing the house, with my back to the light show to come. As we were talking, his eyes exploded with excitement as he pointed in the distance behind me. “Dad! Look! A shooting star!” I turned in time to see a deep red glowing ball flying over Mount Paul in a northwest direction. It appeared so close, I expected Sun Rivers to be hit. My son swore it was landing on the highway. My son thought he was looking at a shooting star and he was amazed. I was seized briefly with the absolute certainty the North

MUSINGS Korean leader had finally lost it and, somehow, his nuclear strike had reached Kamloops. I was, honest to God, expecting the resulting wave from the explosion to boil us alive in our hot tub. The pulsating reddishorange glow that emanated behind Mount Paul after the meteor passed from sight only heightened my fear. Alas, it was indeed a meteor. According to the American Meteor Society, it appeared to have landed about 70 kilometres north of Nelson. But does my initial reaction speak to a general unease felt by others in this new Cold War age? As my son pointed out moments before the meteor appeared, the Doomsday Clock was earlier this year set at 2.5 minutes to midnight, the closest it has been to the time of destruction since 1953, when it was set at two minutes to midnight after the U.S. and the Soviet Union tested hydrogen bombs. The “safest” the world has been was in 1991, at the end of the Cold War, when the clock was
set at 17 minutes to midnight. (The Doomsday Clock is updated every year or two and is used to indicate how close humanity is to destruction due to man-made calamities, such as nuclear war or climate change.) I found it interesting to learn a day later that, while I thought Kim had finally lost it, a coworker had his own (non-meteorrelated) nuclear-war thought on the Labour Day weekend while on Vancouver Island. He emerged from a hike into a nice residential area, where there was not a soul in sight. Impressive homes sat on well-maintained streets, but nary a kid was playing nor an adult doing yardwork. It was, he said, as though U.S. President Donald Trump had “finally dropped the big one.” A friend of his conceded he had entertained the same thought. All of this brought thoughts back to Nov. 20, 1983, when a 15-year-old me watched the seminal ABC movie The Day After. Like the 100-million or so others who watched the grim nuclearwar story, I became depressed, anxious and scared to death. Three-plus decades later, we seem to be in another Cold War, but one much more frightening considering the unbalanced leaders involved. Give me Reagan and Brezhnev/Andropov over Trump and Kim any day. Here’s hoping the next light in the sky comes from fireworks celebrating the successors of these two maniacs. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter.com/ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR OFFER PRAISE, NOT CRITICISM Editor: I want to express my appreciation to all the brave, tired men and women fighting the fires burning this beautiful province. Lately I have heard a lot of criticism aimed at the way these fires are being fought. While my heart goes out to all the people affected in many terrible ways by these fires, I firmly believe there is not a firefighter not doing his or her best to bring this situation under control. I’m sure they would like nothing more than to be done with this fire season. Those criticizing that not enough is being done should take a look at the map showing all the fires burning across B.C. It’s not just the blazes that are getting media’s attention; there are many, many more, all of which require attention. I’m sure these firefighters want to get home to their families, loved ones and homes. Diane Milne Kamloops
MINE’S NEGATIVE IMPACT IGNORED Editor: As a public comment on the Ajax mine project, Aberdeen Highlands Development Corporation (AHDC) has written to the B.C. government, stating that if the open-pit copper and gold mine is developed, AHDC’s investment in its development lands downwind of the proposed mine “will be obliterated and the future development lands removed from the ability of the City to meet growth demands over the next 20 years.” This is not surprising, since no one in their right mind would build a $700,000 home in the immediate dust fall-out zone of an open-pit mine. It is also doubtful the other major residential land developers in the Aberdeen area will proceed with their
plans if Ajax is developed. What this means for the City of Kamloops is the removal of the land that is projected to accommodate 43 per cent of the city’s future residential growth for the next 22 years (the same lifespan of the mine). You don’t need a degree in urban economics to predict what is going to happen if Ajax becomes a reality. The reduction in land for residential development will force up prices and push development into areas with higher infrastructure costs, making Kamloops a less affordable and less desirable place to live. This will also mean job losses in the residential construction and service sector, which employs far more people than the 375 jobs Ajax could create. As a member of the Community
Advisory Group, I can attest to the accuracy of Aberdeen Highland’s statement that, since 2011, the government assessment agencies have chosen to ignore the enormous negative impacts the Ajax mine will have on future residential development. But this is only one of the many issues government agencies have ignored or not rigorously assessed as was promised in 2011. The failure to adequately assess all of the environmental, community and health impacts of the proposed Ajax mine is the direct result of the decision to conduct a behind-closeddoors, bureaucratic paper-pushing exercise instead of the scrutiny of an expert panel public hearing review.

SMARTEN UP AND RESPECT OUR WILDLIFE Editor: To the woman in the gravity chair at the beach by Lafarge in east Kamloops last Saturday afternoon: I saw your kids wander down the beach, no doubt going after the deer that was minding its own business and having a drink. You may not realize this, but there was a mother bear and cubs along the shoreline, in slightly different area, a short time earlier. Additionally, the kids spooked the geese, which all flew up and spooked the deer, which panicked and
KTW reader MJ Humphreys is lamenting the injury suffered by this deer, which Humphreys said was spooked by kids bothering wildlife.
ran up and onto the road, where it was struck by a passing red-coloured vehicle. The deer came rushing down through the bushes again, but this time it was evident its leg was most likely broken, as it was dangling and couldn’t be used. It was upsetting. I’ve been watching and photo-
graphing that deer when I’ve come down to a spot across the water for a swim. Letting kids wander off has consequences — in this case, an innocent animal is suffering needlessly. As for Shuswap Road, there needs to be stricter speed limits and controls along there. The animal and
bird carnage every year is alarming as people drive like it is a freeway, many tossing beer cans out along the way. We need to slow down, smarten up and respect the creatures upon whose territory we are increasingly encroaching. MJ Humphreys Kamloops

Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin
DIRECT TO SMELTER – PRECIOUS METALS RECYCLING ROADSHOW RETURNS TO KAMLOOPS
Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin returns to Kamloops September 13th and 14th. You can bring your gold, silver, coins and Canadian paper money to the Brock Activity Centre between 9am and 4pm each day. No appointment is required. Barry Dick is a precious metals buyer and President of Ursa Major Gold, Silver & Coin. “Ursa Major has the unique advantage of dealing direct with a smelter” said Dick. “That allows us to cut out one or even two middlemen. Ursa Barry Dick Major purchases President of Ursa Major gold and silver from Gold, Silver & Coin other gold buyers, pawn shops, dentists, jewellers and jewellery makers as well as the general public.” In terms of the US dollar, gold and silver prices appear low but the weak Canadian dollar means prices are strong. Ursa Major analyzes your gold, silver, coins and paper money while you watch, with the process explained to you in detail. Coins with numismatic value are graded and set aside from those with a ‘melt’ value. Silver items such as jewellery and flatware are analyzed for hallmark identification. Items thought to contain gold will also be analyzed for hallmarks, and then confirmed using precise testing that is done while you watch. Then a cash offer is made and you decide to sell or not. “If you decide to sell after hearing the quote, great, but it is also about information” says Dick. “A lot of times people just need to know a ballpark of what things are worth; we don’t pressure anyone into selling”. Dick took out his first gold claim when he turned 16 in the 1970’s and has been involved with precious metals ever since. An ardent gold panner, he was a regular at the world championship gold panning competition with a personal best of 3rd place in 1984. “Nearly half of the world’s annual gold harvest comes from recycled gold. Energy costs are about $500 to mine a new ounce of gold where recycled gold is about $10 per ounce. That prevents a lot of diesel from being burned.” Gold and silver purchased at the show and later melted goes back into the market without incurring that environmental cost. Out of fashion jewelry, single earrings, broken chains, unloved jewelry, charm bracelets, dental gold, nuggets and fine gold are all accepted. “We can assess any coin ever made for collector or precious metal value, including world coins and ancient coins.” People are encouraged to bring in any and all coins for assessment. Ursa Major also assesses and purchases Canadian and Dominion of Canada Paper Money. They have extensive experience working with estates, executors, widows and widowers in a respectful and caring manner. No appointment necessary.
After spending five weeks learning about Canada’s culture and landscape, a group of nearly 160 students from Indonesia is looking to return the favour. “We’ll perform stories, so some of us will be dancing, some will play music and some will be singing,” said Aura Alam Safira, 16, of a special performance she and her classmates will stage at the Sagebrush Theatre on Thursday. “It tells about our culture.” The performance is a traditional ending for the program, which sees students between the ages of 13 and 17 undergo a cultural immersion program. Students stay at homes in the community, take lessons on leadership and English and embark on field trips throughout the region to see more of Canada for themselves. The program was last hosted at TRU in 2013. Aura and fellow student Neva Ramadhan, 16, said Kamloops was a big change coming from Jakarta, a city of nearly 10-million people. “I think in Kamloops the people are friendly and the weather is nice,” Nevan said. “The sky is blue, it’s clear. We’ve experienced summer for the first time,” added Aura, who spoke to KTW during one of the city’s wildfire smoke-free weeks. The two also said the city is not as crowded as home and has less traffic. On the day he spoke to KTW, Nevan was fresh from a gold-panning trip, which he described as tiring, but fun. Students also kayaked, camped, went horseback riding and had opportunities to explore the city. “It’s a wide array of getting to really know what Canada is like,” said Myrissa Krenzler, program coordinator for TRU World. Siti Gemala, head of the International Islamic Education Council’s overseas program that organizes the students’ trips, said the overseas excursions are compulsory for high school students whose schools are part of the council. Including Canada, the council takes students to nine countries. The students’ cultural performance, Ardaya Zahran: A Radiant Heart, will take place from noon to 2 p.m. on Thursday at Sagebrush Theatre, 821 Munro St. Admission is free.

REACHING FOR KELSON Kelson Group, a Kamloops real-estate company, has won a contract to build a 56,000-square-foot, fourstorey rental building as part of The Reach village at Thompson Rivers University. The building will rise on the north side of TRU’s Old Main Building, with construction expected to start next spring and comple-
tion slated for fall 2019. The Reach is TRU Community Trust’s 90-acre master-planned development, patterned after the village concept at Simon Fraser University. Trust chair Frank Quinn said the request for proposals saw developers from across the country submit bids “The Reach’s vision to offer a new walk-
able community for Kamloops, enrich the TRU campus and return funds to support university initiatives, aligns perfectly with Kelson’s values,” said Kelson Group vice-president Jason Fawcett.

Leader chosen in February From A1
Stone said he doesn’t believe odds are tilted to a Metro Vancouver candidate, noting the success of Premier John Horgan. “The premier of B.C. today is from Vancouver Island and he won the majority of seats in the Lower Mainland,” Stone said. “Why? He did a better job of putting a vision in front of the people of the Lower Mainland.”
B.C. Liberal candidates must declare by a December deadline, also the deadline for memberships eligible to vote in the leadership campaign. Anyone running for the leadership will be required to participate in party debates or forums in Vancouver, Surrey, Prince George, Nanaimo, and the Thompson-Okanagan region and one organized by the B.C. Liberal Indigenous Network.
Deadline for candidates to enter the race is Dec. 29, which is also the deadline for new members to join the party and vote. Party members will vote online and by phone from Feb. 1 to Feb. 3. Stone has not set a self-imposed date for a decision. “We’re getting there, one way or another,” he said. “A lot of people [supporters] are champing at the bit.”

Customers at the B.C. Liquor Store on the North Shore were No. 5 in the province when it came to donations to those impacted by wildfires. Customers at government liquor stores across the province donated a recordbreaking $417,675 to the Red Cross BC Fire Appeal. Customer donations were collected over an eight-week period — between July 10 and Aug. 31 — to support
the wildfire evacuees with emergency food, water and shelter. The BC Liquor Stores locations with the largest customer donations were: • Westwood Centre in Port Coquitlam: $25,855; • Kelowna Orchard Park in East Kelowna: $14,332

Environment Canada is forecasting more warm weather for this week, with a high of 30 C expected Thursday and temperatures in the high 20s through the weekend. There is a 60 per cent chance of showers on Thursday and Friday. This week has been hotter than normal, but no records have yet been broken. While it has been bone-dry, it has also been hot. But while the average high in Kamloops through June, July and August — 21.5 C — was 1.2 C warmer than normal, it was not high enough to break any records and did not approach the top five warmest summers on record in the city. There were, however, plenty of scorching days. Kamloops recorded a daily high temperature of 30 C or above on eight days in June, 25 days in July
and 17 days in August — 50 days in total. In other words, the mercury hit the 30 C or above mark 54 per cent of the time during those three months. June’s hottest day was the 25th, when the temperature peaked at 36 C. July’s was the sixth, when the mercury hit 38.5 C, while August’s hottest day was the 29th, with a reading of 38.5 C. The mid-term forecast calls for sunshine and warm temperatures (highs in the mid-to-high-20s) into next week. • With warm temperatures in the forecast this week, the City of Kamloops is keeping its water parks open through the weekend. Spray parks across the city, as well as the Price Charles Park wading pool downtown, will remain in operation through Sunday, Sept. 10. They will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily.

First Nations hopeful NDP pledges more than ‘hollow words’
Hundreds gathered for Vancouver summit THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — First Nations leaders in British Columbia say they are hopeful the commitments being made toward reconciliation by the new provincial government will be different than the many disappointments of the past. First Nations Summit Grand Chief Ed John said he is encouraged by Premier John Horgan’s pledge to govern based on the principles set out in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous People and to incorporate the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s calls to action. He said the province’s willing-
ness to acknowledge the underlying legal right to land and title held by First Nations also gives him hope the government’s promises are more than just hollow words. Horgan said true reconciliation starts with genuine respect and that all of B.C. stands to benefit by listening to the “knowledge of millennia’’ held by Indigenous Peoples. Members of B.C.’s New Democrat cabinet and Aboriginal chiefs gathered in Vancouver for the fourth annual leaders’ gathering. About 560 people are registered for the two-day event, including members from the Green and Liberal caucus.

Golfer hit by stray bullet in Lantzville THE CANADIAN PRESS
NANAIMO — A Vancouver Island golfer is expected to fully recover after being hit by what is believed to be an errant bullet fired by a target shooter. Nanaimo RCMP said the 60-year-old was golfing at a course in Lantzville, north of Nanaimo, last Thursday when he felt a sudden, sharp pain in his leg. He needed help from other golfers to leave the course, but RCMP Const. Gary O’Brien said the man was able to drive himself to hospital in Ladysmith. X-rays confirmed a bullet was embedded in his calf. The man was sent home in good condition after the projectile was removed.
Police investigate triple kidnapping in Dawson Creek THE CANADIAN PRESS
DAWSON CREEK — RCMP in northeastern British Columbia say they are investigating what appears to be a triple kidnapping. Cpl. Madonna Saunderson said police in Dawson Creek learned of the case on Saturday. A woman reported she
had been kidnapped and held against her will for several days, but had managed to escape from the home in a rural area near the city. A second person also reported they had been kidnapped and told investigators a third person was still in the house. Saunderson said RCMP and emergency response team
A13
members entered the home and found the third person, noting all three alleged victims were treated for injuries described as non-life-threatening. Police have not said if any suspects have been identified or if any arrests have been made, but confirmed the investigation is continuing and the public is not believed to be at risk.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Co-signers are cool again! For the last few years it has been nice for first-time homebuyers to get out from under expensive rents and into home ownership – without the need for a co-signer. But changes to Canada’s mortgage rules have made co-signers a necessity for some buyers. What’s changed? 1) Stress test – buyers are subject to a higher interest rate to test their ability to afford future higher payments 2) Income rules – buyers require more proof of income, including: Job letter; recent pay-stubs; two years T-4 and T-1 General; two years Notice of Assessment from Revenue Canada. The new rules mean your bank or mortgage broker might ask for things they had never previously requested. 3) Bank Reserves – You could be charged more for borrowing because banks are being asked to hold onto more cash in case of mortgage defaults or missed payments. 4) Changes lead to changes – This change to mortgage lending rules is HOT off the presses, so not every lender has decided how to respond. Questions like, “What do you do about specialty mortgages like rental?” or “How do you properly price mortgages?” are on bankers’ minds. Regulators and banks are still working out the kinks in this new lending environment. As a professional mortgage broker, it’s my job to navigate the rules for you and to find the bank that will say YES to you, OR to outline a plan that will get a YES in the near future. I am here to help. Contact me anytime to find out what these mortgage changes could mean for you and your plans in 2017! Today’s Mortgage Matters is brought to you by Steve Bucher.

economy expanded by an impressive 4.5 per cent in the second quarter. That followed unexpectedly healthy growth in the first three months of 2017 and easily exceeded the Bank of Canada’s projections. In a statement Wednesday, the bank said solid employment and wage growth led to strong consumer spending, while the key areas of business investment and exports also improved. “Recent economic data have been stronger than expected, supporting the bank’s view that growth in Canada is becoming more broadly-based and self-sustaining,’’ the bank said. Looking ahead, the bank insisted future rate decisions will not be “predetermined’’ and will be guided by upcoming economic data releases and financial market developments. It pledged to pay particular attention paid to the economy’s potential, job-market conditions and any potential risks for Canadians from the higher costs of borrowing. “Given elevated household indebtedness, close attention will be paid to the sensitivity of the economy to higher interest rates,’’ the statement said. Even with the recent economic improvements, the bank still underlined concerns around geopolitical risks and uncertainties related to international trade and fiscal policies. The bank predicted the pace of growth across Canada to moderate in the second half of the year. The rate increase means governor Stephen Poloz has now reversed the two cuts he introduced in 2015 to help the economy deal with the plunge in oil prices. The bank said Wednesday the increasingly robust economy shows it no longer needs as much stimulus.

T
he profession of field archaeology at first may seem exciting and adventurous to some. In reality, though, most of the time this job involves hiking seemingly endless kilometres across difficult terrain or digging endless small, yet deep, test pits into hard, hard ground. And it is an incredible job to have. Although interested in stone tools while starting out in archeology, I grew bored after digging what felt like thousands of shovel tests without a single stone artifact to be found. So, I occupied myself with plants. Obviously, plants are abundant and an easy distraction while in the forest. More importantly, knowledge of plant species is a good skill for a field archeologist to have as certain types of plants can provide information about soil conditions and drainage at
a particular location (e.g., horsetail in wet areas) or whether an area has been recently disturbed (e.g., thistle, mullein). These are often referred to as indicator species. Typically, the study of modern vegetation is associated with traditional-use studies that aim to document Aboriginal land-use patterns. However, field archeology can at times be an important source of traditional-use information, especially where associations between archeological site types (such as cooking features) and modern vegetation become apparent. While not totally conclusive, it is interesting when it is possible to associate ancient cooking features with an existing patch of a traditionally economically important plant, such arrow-leaf balsamroot or wild mint. The unique semi-arid environment of the Interior is more amenable to the preservation of buried plant remains than in more temperate areas of B.C. While there is no doubt plants were
important economic resources during precontact times, plants are rarely found in archeological contexts, as organic materials simply decay too fast. One of the most common indirect types of evidence for plant utilization in the Kamloops area are small, round cultural depressions, with blackened charcoalstained soil and fire broken rocks: the remains of ancient earth ovens. Since many of the important edible root species had to be cooked prior to consuming, people developed the technology of hot-rock cookery. This involved digging a pit in the ground, filling the bottom with hot rocks, layering the pit with tree boughs before adding the roots and, finally, covering with soil. The roots would then slowly roast underground for up to two days before being dug up again for consumption or for winter storage. Radiocarbon dates obtained from these cooking features point to the considerable antiquity of hot-rock cookery in the south-

ern Interior, with sites in the Kamloops area dating as far back as 7,000 years. These cooking features are found all across the landscape in various settings, sometimes in clusters of several hundred or as an isolated occurrence. While the use of earth ovens declined in the contact period, traditional-use information and ethnobotanical studies document the continuing importance of a wide variety of plant species to the Secwepemc people. In my time hiking through the forests and grasslands in the surrounding area, I have come to recognize a few culturally important plants and have learned a little of their past and current uses. With beginner’s knowledge of only a few of the traditionally important plant species, one can start to see the forest for what it once was: the grocery store, the pharmacy and the hardware store, all in one place.

Volunteers unload donated food and household items from a Rotarian’s truck during the 2016 Rotary Spring Food Drive. The fall version of the annual event takes place on Saturday. Yellow bags were delivered in Tuesday’s edition of KTW and can also be picked up at McDonald’s, Safeway and Save-On-Foods locations, as well as at Cain’s Your Independent Grocer in Northills Shopping Centre. Bags with items should be placed on doorsteps by 9 a.m. on Saturday.

his Saturday, when thousands of Kamloops households leave yellow bags full of food on their doorsteps, it will launch into motion a gargantuan volunteer effort involving hundreds of individuals. Bernadette Siracky, executive director of the Kamloops Food Bank, said the Rotary Food Drive has sort of taken on a life of its own since the first one was held in 2008. “It’s kind of created its own energy,” she said. “Since the beginning,
we’ve collected over 900,000 pounds of food. At about $2.50 a pound, I’d say we’re definitely over $2 million of product that’s been donated.” This is how it works: Yellow plastic bags — known as Yellow Bags of Help — were distributed with Tuesday’s edition of Kamloops This Week and were made available in limited quantities at Kamloops McDonald’s locations, Sahali Safeway, Save-On Foods and Cain’s Your Independent Grocer. Generous Tournament Capital residents are asked to fill them with food — preferably of the non-perishable variety — and leave them outside their front doors on Saturday.
That’s it. Volunteers will pick up the donations and transport them to the food bank’s North Shore warehouse, where they will be sorted and eventually made available to individuals and families in need. Siracky said the food drives — one in the spring and one in the fall — have become not just an integral event for the food bank, but something that unites Kamloops. “It’s become an event that brings the community together,” she said. “It’s kind of magical. It’s just a brilliant showing of what Kamloops does.” The Kamloops Food Bank experienced a huge increase in dona-
tions over the summer when the city became home to tens of thousands of evacuees displaced by wildfire, but Siracky said that food has been doled out. “That really was for the evacuees,” she said. “All of that product has been distributed to them. All the product that was donated for them is gone.” Siracky said the need for food remains and the Rotary Food Drive is an important part of the food bank’s year. “We remain in need,” she said. “We serve 7,000 people and 45 community agencies. We need the support. We depend on it.”
The annual Parkinson SuperWalk will take place this Saturday in Riverside Park. Participants will meet at the Rotary Bandshell, where registration will begin at 10 a.m., with the walk commencing at 11 a.m. Parkinson SuperWalk is the largest fundraising event for Parkinson Society British Columbia and the event licensor, Parkinson Canada. Communities across the country organize walks to raise funds for critical programs, support services, advocacy efforts and contributions to research. This year, the goal is to attract more than 2,500 walkers from across the province and elsewhere. In 2016, the society contributed $120,000 to Parkinson Canada Research Program, $30,000 of which was matched by Parkinson Quebec. Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand.

UP FRONT YOUNGER BLAZERS’ FORWARDS TO PUSH VETERANS FOR ICE TIME MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
J
ermaine Loewen earned his keep this summer in Kelowna, cleaning rental cars and helping customers in need at the airport. The 6-foot-4, 221-pound forward from Arborg, Man., by way of May Pen, Jamaica, said it was a relaxing few months, outside of the strenuous training regimen he undertook. He had plenty of time to think. The fan favourite came to the realization he is in the same boat as several of his veteran teammates: If I don’t play well, hungry younger players are going to eat up my ice time. “I’ve got that pressure, but at the same time, I feel like, right now, I’m not thinking about it,” said Loewen, who had six goals last season, a drop from eight in 2015-2016. “I went into it [last season] and tried to be a different player than I really am. That really hurt me during the season. At times, I was spectacular and, at times, I was really average.” Kamloops is expected to lose four of its five top scorers from last season — Deven Sideroff (Anaheim Ducks signee), Rudolfs Balcers (San Jose Sharks signee), Lane Bauer (graduated) and Collin Shirley (graduated) — who combined to register 288 points. The Blazers, aiming to score by committee in 2017-2018, are not likely to make a deep playoff run this season, so promising younger players will be afforded every opportunity to earn minutes, with an eye on the future. “The competition is really strong for positioning within the team,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “There are guys that have earned the opportunity to move up. Throughout the exhibition games, that’s really going to tell us where everybody fits in.” Garrett Pilon, 19, enters the season as the team’s most explosive player, following a 65-point campaign that led to him signing with the Washington Capitals in March. Likely to occupy top-six roles are 20-year-olds Nic Holowko and Nick

Garrett Pilon (right) is expected to lead the Kamloops Blazers’ attack in 2017-2018.
KTW is looking ahead to the 20172018 Kamloops Blazers’ campaign in a five-part series that started on Aug. 24. Stories will run each Thursday until Sept. 21. The local WHL club opens its season in Kelowna against the Rockets on Sept. 22. Today in Part 3, we take a look at the forwards . Each story in the series will be posted online at kamloopsthisweek.com. Chyzowski, each of whom have impressed in training-camp and pre-season action, and 19-year-old Quinn Benjafield. “That’s going to be a telling tale for our group, the older guys, guys like Benjafield,” Hay said. “We’re really hoping this is the year he breaks through and becomes a real consistent player up front that can play in all situations.” Luc Smith, a 19-year-old centre from Stony Plain, Alta., will be searching for consistency, along with Loewen, in his effort to be an impact player. The 18-year-old group was bolstered by Swiss import Justin Sigrist, a 5-foot-11, 166pound left-winger who is adapting quickly to North American hockey. “The Canadian game is faster and harder,” said Sigrist, picked by the Blazers 42nd overall at the CHL Import Draft in June. “That’s the main difference to Switzerland. The team help me, the coaches help me. “I am a speedy playmaker who loves to shoot, pass the puck.” Travis Walton and Scott Mahovlich, both sizeable forwards at 6-foot-2 and more than 184 pounds, and 6-foot, 170pound Erik Miller, a player the organization has been waiting on to break out, round out the 18-year-old contingent. “I think it’s my time to give more to the
team and show that I can play a bigger role and just be that guy,” said Miller, who has three goals and four points in two preseason games. “There’s always competition every year, but for sure more this year because we’ve got a lot more younger guys pushing from the bottom.” The Blazers are high on their 17-yearold crop, led by Jackson Shepard and Brodi Stuart, both of whom have potential to unseat elder statesmen. Shepard, Kamloops’ first pick in the 2015 WHL Bantam Draft, played 41 games as a 16-year-old in 2016-2017, and Stuart, a late-season call-up, stole ice time from older players in the playoffs. Stuart kept the Blazers’ season alive briefly with an electrifying game-tying goal in Game 6 of a firstround series against Kelowna. “It’s always super exciting when you pack up the bags and head out of the house to come back here,” said 5-foot-8 Shepard, who bulked up to 172 pounds in the offseason, putting on eight pounds of muscle. “I think we have a strong, young team this year, with a lot of young talent. It’s a great feeling.” Rounding out the 17-year-old group are 6-foot-3 Ryley Appelt and 6-foot-1 Carson Denomie, big-body forwards champing at the bit to play major-junior hockey after successful midget seasons in 2016-2017. Two soon-to-be 16-year-olds — Connor Zary and Kyrell Sopotyk — are at least giving team brass cause to think about keeping them. “You’re going to take it hard [if you don’t make the team], but you have to take it as motivation to come back even stronger, but I’m here to show what I can do and, hopefully, make it,” said Zary, who the Blazers
selected 37th overall in the 2016 bantam draft. “It’s the only thing I’m focused on right now and I’m going to do everything I can to make it.” The highly skilled, speedy Saskatchewan products have done nothing but make strides, but neither are draft eligible until 2020 and another year of development in midget, which worked for the likes of Sideroff and Pilon, might be in the cards. “When they come in at 17, they just look bigger and stronger and can play in different situations,” Hay said. “The young guys have to really show they’re ready physically and mentally. Can we find room for them to play in skilled positions? They have to beat out players. It’s up to them to do that.” Top prospect Massimo Rizzo was the Blazers’ first-round pick in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft, but has not signed with the major-junior squad and will spend his 16-year-old campaign playing for the Penticton Vees in the junior A B.C. Hockey League. Whether he returns to the WHL remains to be seen. General manager Stu MacGregor, Hay and the Blazers’ scouting staff will be focusing on the players who are here, trying to find out who wants it most. “I’ve got to be on every night,” Loewen said. “It’s just important to solidify myself and just to play exactly the way I need to play. “I’m not thinking about the other stuff. I’ll just go out there and work hard.” • Kamloops will play Kelowna in backto-back pre-season tilts this weekend, with the Rockets playing host on Friday and the Blazers hosting on Saturday. Game time on Saturday is 7 p.m. at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

WolfPack coach Shantz making team his own MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kelly Shantz has assembled the nucleus of a squad he expects to challenge for a Canada West playoff spot this season. “We’re definitely better this year, by a wide margin,” said Shantz, the TRU WolfPack women’s soccer team’s second-year head coach. “There’s no reason why we shouldn’t be setting our sights on stealing points along the way and sneaking into the playoffs. We think it’s realistic.” The WolfPack will open the regular season with four straight road matches — against the UNBC Timberwolves in Prince George on Friday, the MacEwan Griffins in Edmonton on Sunday, the Saskatchewan Huskies in Saskatoon on Sept. 16 and the Regina Cougars in the Queen City on Sept. 17. Shantz said the playoffs are realistic, but some critics will say he is living in a fantasy land, one year removed from scoring only four goals and allowing 54 goals in 13 games en route to a 1-12 record. Detractors will point to a team that isn’t much more experienced this season. All but
three players on the roster are in their freshman or sophomore seasons. But Shantz won’t be too concerned with the doubters. He’s looking forward to fielding a team that is starting to resemble the one he pictured when he took the job prior to the 2016 campaign. “This will be a Kelly Shantz team in two, three years from now, but the vast majority were recruited, they want to be a part of the program and, if we can get them into the culture, that will make us great again,” he said. Shantz took over last year from Tom McManus, who was dismissed after leading TRU to its first Canada West playoff berth in 2015. The roster overhaul that came with the regime change included the addition of eight Kamloops Youth Soccer Association products — second-year players Sasha Sirianni, Cassie Morris and Keenen Degen and rookies Shae Fuoco, Gwen Freeze, Georgia Aldus, Emerson Hansen and Emily Mann. “My job is to put the best team on the field and to represent the university and bring in the best student-athletes and win,” Shantz said. “But we also have our roots here, and I certainly do, and helping to have a
little bit of a hand in developing local talent and getting the ones that are up to it included in the program is super important to me, as well.” Shantz tinkered with the lineup throughout the pre-season, taking a look at everyone on the roster, which contributed to an 0-5-1 record in exhibition play. “I absolutely couldn’t have cared less about the record,” Shantz said. “Last weekend in Seattle was the first time we put a shell of our team together.” The WolfPack tied NCAA Division 2 St. Martin’s 1-1 in Lacey, Wash., on Aug. 26, their best result of the pre-season. Starting with four straight road matches is just fine by Shantz. “For a young team, the road is not necessarily a bad place,” he said. “You’re without the pressure of being at home in front of family and friends and KYSA kids. I’m totally OK with it.” The Pack will play five straight home games to wrap the regular-season slate. If Shantz’s goals are realistic, those tilts in Kamloops will have playoff implications. “We want to challenge for a playoff spot,” he said. “Once you get into the dance, anything can happen.”

Big sellers undergoing updates for 2018 DEE-ANN DURBIN
THE CANADIAN PRESS
S
ome important vehicles are getting revamps for the 2018 model year, including the Toyota Camry. Two of the Camry’s archrivals, the Honda Accord and Hyundai Sonata, are also new for 2018. The Ram pickup — a consistent bestseller — will also be getting an update, as will the Jeep Wrangler. There’s a heavy focus on SUVs, which are popular with both Baby Boomers and Millennials in an era of low gas prices. There are several new full-size SUVs, including the Lincoln Navigator, Chevrolet Traverse and Volkswagen Atlas. At the other end of the market are new compact SUVs like the Toyota C-HR, Hyundai Kona and Ford EcoSport. Drivers who want something smaller and sportier can find plenty of enticing models, from the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon to the Ferrari 812 Superfast. And electric car sales could get a boost with the arrival of the Tesla Model 3 and the revamped Nissan Leaf. Here is a partial list of new and updated vehicles coming out in the 2018 model year: • HONDA: Accord: The 10th-generation of the Accord sedan gets more coupelike styling and its first-ever turbocharged engines. The base 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine puts out 192 horsepower, up from 185 in the previous Accord. It’s mated to Honda’s continuously variable automatic transmission. There’s also a new 2.0-litre with 252 horsepower. That comes with a new 10-speed automatic transmission. A six-speed manual transmission is offered on sport trims. A hybrid
The 2018 GMC Terrain gets sleeker looks and smaller engines, including 1.5-litre and 2-litre turbocharged four cylinders with nine-speed transmissions. There’s also a diesel option. version will also be available. Inside, Honda has added 2 inches of rear legroom and 4G LTE WiFi, which will allow over-the-air software updates. Fit: Honda’s subcompact Fit gets updated styling and a new sport trim with a front spoiler and orange pin-striping. The Fit Sport offers a six-speed manual transmission. The Fit now offers advanced safety features, including forward collision warning and a lane-keeping system that automatically keeps the car in its lane. Odyssey: The fifth-generation of Honda’s wildly popular Odyssey minivan has several new familyfriendly options, including a rear entertainment system with 4G LTE connectivity, a CabinWatch camera that lets the driver keep an eye on the rear and a CabinTalk system that lets the driver talk to rear passengers through the speakers.
New optional rear seats have multiple configurations and can be moved forward to allow thirdrow access even with child seats strapped in. • TOYOTA: Camry: The mid-size Camry has a completely new look and feel. Tired of the sedan’s practical but bland image, designers made the car lower, wider and sportier and gave it a more pointed nose. Toyota says a new, more rigid platform and lightweight body materials — including an aluminum hood — vastly improve handling and driving dynamics. There are two engine choices: a new 2.5-litre four-cylinder that produces 206 horsepower and gets 34 mpg in city and highway driving or a newly developed 3.5-litre V-6 with 301 horsepower that gets up to 26 mpg.
C-HR: Toyota joins the hot subcompact SUV segment with the C-HR. The five-seat SUV has a sporty, angular look and a sweptback roofline. The CH-R is slightly longer, wider and shorter than its chief rival, the Honda HR-V. It also has a little more power, with a 2-litre four-cylinder engine than puts out 144 horsepower. Sienna: Toyota’s eight-passenger minivan got a new engine lineup in 2017. In 2018, it gets a new front end that more closely reflects the brand’s other vehicles. It also gets significantly enhanced safety; every Sienna now comes standard with automatic emergency braking, adaptive cruise control and a lane departure warning system that can also gently nudge the van back into its lane if it starts to drift. • GMC: Terrain: The professional-grade
version of the Chevrolet Equinox small SUV gets sleeker looks and smaller engines including 1.5-litre and 2-litre turbocharged four cylinders with nine-speed transmissions. There’s also a diesel option. • CHEVROLET: Equinox: The venerable, boxy version of Chevrolet’s small SUV gets a complete makeover with sleek new looks that make it competitive in what has become the hottest part of the U.S. auto market. The new one is 400 pounds lighter, five inches shorter and about an inch lower than the old model. But it also has slightly less front and rear legroom, according to GM’s specifications. Gone are the Equinox’s old 3.6litre V6 and 2.4-litre four-cylinder engines, replaced by two smaller four-cylinder gas powerplants and a diesel. All are turbocharged for better acceleration. Traverse: General Motors went small when it started revamping its aging mid-size people-hauling SUVs last year with the GMC Acadia. But it’s going bigger with the Acadia sibling, the Chevy Traverse. The company says Chevrolet buyers want more space, so the Traverse will seat up to eight and have more cargo room. • FORD: Mustang: The brand gets its first update since it was completely redesigned in 2015. There’s a new hood and a leaner, lower front end that features standard LED headlights. The 3.7-litre V6 engine is no longer offered; buyers can choose from the 2.3litre EcoBoost four-cylinder or a reworked 5.0-litre V8 that has improved power and fuel economy. A new 10-speed transmission is available; there’s also an upgraded manual transmission for the V8.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Kenneth Vernon Mcharg
Myshell Nukina
August 22,1936 - August 27,2017
We announce the passing of Ken McHarg on August 27, 2017, at Gemstones Care Facility in Kamloops, B.C., where he resided since July, 2013. He was predeceased by parents Henry and Gina McHarg, sister Violet Ashdown, brother-in-law Ken Ashdown and nephew Neil Ashdown, all of Melfort, Saskatchewan. He is survived by sons Jason (Mira) of Maryland, USA, and Ian McHarg of Coldstream, B.C., and their mother Valerie McHarg of Kamloops, B.C. He is further survived by grandson Mason McHarg of Maryland, USA; nephew Mark Ashdown of Vancouver; and several cousins in Melfort, Saskatchewan. Ken attended the University of Saskatchewan (B.A, B.Ed.) and Gonzaga University in Spokane, Washington, USA. (M.Ed.), and was a teacher for over 40 years. He taught in Melfort, Saskatchewan, Victoria, B.C., and at Clarence Fulton in Vernon, B.C. He was a skilled and dedicated teacher of Mathematics who delighted in seeing students succeed. He married Valerie Colter in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan in 1963, and in 1969 they moved to Victoria, BC for one year before moving to Coldstream, B.C. Sons Jason and Ian were both born in Vernon, B.C. Ken was an excellent father who dearly loved his sons. In recreation he enjoyed backyard gardening with a special interest in growing peaches and tomatoes. He golfed, skied, was a keen bridge player, and for the first ten years of retirement, was a marshal at Predator Ridge Golf Course in Vernon. Over his lifetime he volunteered for many years with various charities, and never lost his desire to help others. He had a good sense of humour, was kind, generous, loving and forgiving.
Myshell Nukina passed away peacefully with her husband by her side on August 6, 2017 after a long dance with cancer. Her final days were spent reflecting and visiting with family and friends. Born In Abbotsford, BC and raised in nearby Hatzic, Myshell enjoyed riding her bike and playing with neighbourhood friends in the vast undeveloped green space behind her backyard with her dog, Pepper. Childhood summers were filled with camping, fishing and riding motorcycles in the BC Interior. She moved to Kamloops in 1992 where she developed new friendships and community and met her husband Dennis. An outspoken social activist; she started the Amnesty International Youth Group in Kamloops and helped implement it in local high schools. She participated in many events such as the Peace March and supported various causes like the Kamloops Food Bank as well as co-creating Shiny Girls to help foster healthy nurturing friendships between women.
Arrangements entrusted to Fischer’s Funeral Services & Crematorium Ltd., Salmon Arm, (250) 822-1129.
Myshell loved music and sound. She trained in sound healing and acutonics and would use the crystal bowls she received as a wedding gift from her in-laws to perform massage, sound baths and healing circles. Drawn by the cross-cultural tribal nature of electronic music she helped create All Ages Dance events in Kamloops. She composed many songs and would loved collaborating with local musicians. Her DJ career was highlighted by a tour of India in 2008.
Share memories and condolences online through Ken’s obituary at www.fischersfuneralservices.com
Myshell enjoyed her yard in Kamloops for gardening, growing sunflowers and caring for fruit trees.
He was loved dearly by his family and he will be missed greatly. We extend a heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful nurses and caregivers at Gemstones in Kamloops who cared for Ken in his declining years. There will be no funeral service. In lieu of flowers, donations in Ken’s memory may be made to the Vernon Jubilee Hospital at 2101 32nd Street, Vernon, B.C. V1T 5L2.
Her last few years were shared between Kamloops and Vancouver where she worked on developing a multi-genre music event for all ages which culminated into the Electric Love Music Festival. She is survived by her husband Dennis and children Sky and Summer, her mother Celeste Klassen, as well as her brothers Kelley Klassen and Doug Mclean and father Ed Klassen. Thanks to all her family, friends and co-workers for the care and support over the last few years. We would also like to thank the Vancouver Cancer Clinic (Dr. Tinker and Dr. Chung) and the Doctors and Nurses in Palliative Care at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver for their help and service. We will her miss her uncanny listening skills and ability to touch people by remembering small details from past conversations. We will forever cherish the memory of her generous heart and kind soul. She can now eternally ‘dance and be free’. A Celebration of Myshell’s Life and Memorial Service will take place on Saturday, September 23, 2017 beginning at 3:00 pm at Grandview Acres near Kamloops, BC.

Kevin Dennis Isfeld We are deeply heart broken and saddened by the passing of our dear husband, son, dad, brother and uncle Kevin Dennis Isfeld. Kevin passed away after a lengthy battle with brain cancer on August 30, 2017 with his devoted loving life partner Cara of 12 years by his side. Kevin was born in Oliver on April 29, 1967 but grew up in Kamloops. He was a successful business man along with his brothers Jeff and Derek as well as their father Dennis and mother Elizabeth. His entry to entrepreneurship started as a youth with flea markets, later in the furniture business with Graham J. Furniture Gallery and more recently with Speedy Cash with stores across Canada. Kevin had a thirst for life and enjoyed many outdoor adventures. Climbing the peaks of the Rocky Mountains, numerous towers on the Coquihalla, rock climbing, mountain biking and backcountry skiing. Extreme sports travelled through his veins. At the age of 41, he received his first diagnosis of a slow growing brain tumor that would eventually take his life. Instead of waiting for the inevitable to happen, Kevin retired from the family business and hopped on his first BMW motorcycle, which he named Electra and after wearing out this one, bought a second one which he named Suu Kyi to see more of the world before his time was up. He made it to the Arctic, U.S., Mexico, many countries in Central and South America and even into Europe. His real love was India. Kevin travelled through India 7 times, 6 of those being on motorcycle. He loved the people and the culture immensely. On one of his trips his mom Liz met him for a time for their own tour and then later Cara joined him on the bike for 3 of his trips. Together they enjoyed and loved India for the most amazing adventures. He produced endless writings of his journeys and religiously posted on “My Trip Journal” for the world to see. Kevin’s son Tyler has the same wanderlust in him as his father. For this Kevin was incredible proud. Kaitaia, Kevin’s niece, always had a special place in his heart. He was so proud of the strong young woman she is becoming. Sadly, in 2015 Kevin’s tumor had developed into a glioblastoma multiforme, Grade IV. Treatment and radiation helped for a time and gave us hope that he could beat it. He seemed so invincible. Slowly, his struggles both physically and verbally frustrated him and he could no longer ride his motorcycle. He opted for more surgery to remove

the aggressive growing tumor once again but this time it was too late. Kevin took his last breath with his beloved Cara by his side. It was quick and peaceful. He left on his terms, as he did not want to be burden to his family. Kevin cherished his family too much and would have wanted to spare them the agony of seeing him suffer any longer. It is Kevin’s wish to have his ashes spread through the Ganges, the holiest river in India. The family wishes to extend their sincere thanks to the following caregivers who assisted Kevin, Dr. McLaren, Dr. Omahen, Dr. Collier, Dr. Van Heerden and Dr. Tevendale, the staff at the Cancer Clinic and the Kamloops Hospice and all the nurses in ICU and 6 North at RIH plus any others we may have forgotten. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at Jeff and Tanya’s home at 264 West Columbia St, Kamloops from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. The celebration will be on a come and go basis and all are welcome on your time. An open mic will be available. We love and miss you so much Kevin, one day we will fly together again. At Kevin and Cara’s request, please no flowers, donations to any of the following in Kevin’s name would be appreciated. Kamloops SPCA, 1211 8th St., Kamloops, BC V2B 2Y3, Cancer Agency, (Brain cancer) 150 - 686 West Broadway, Vancouver, BC V5Z 1G1, Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9.

He was born in Sturdee, BC on February 5, 1933 on the CPR tracks (which he loved to talk about). He moved to Chase when he was six and lived there until adulthood. He then joined the RCMP, training in Regina. After a time, he left the RCMP and then moved on into the insurance industry and was an insurance adjuster for I.C.B.C. until he had to retire for health reasons. At retirement, he and Ann moved to Chase for a number of years and then returned to Kamloops. Bill was a friend of Bill W. for 54 wonderful years. A Celebration of Life will be held on Sunday, September 17, 2017 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way, Kamloops, BC in the Vista Room at 1:30 pm.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Adam Ross
1980 - 2017 It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our son, brother, uncle and friend Adam Ross at the age of 37 on August 31, 2017. Adam will be missed for his passion for people and nature, his intelligent scientific mind and his uplifting sense of humour. He was a man who loved and accepted others as they are and his thoughtfulness knew no limits. We are especially grateful for his willingness to be open with his loved ones during his final months about the choice that his severe physical suffering would lead him to.
Along with many, many beloved friends and extended family, grieving are Adam’s parents Anne and Brian, his brother Paul, sisters Sally, Stephanie Conroy and Alison Giddings, brothers-in-law Dave and Jack, sister-in-law Chelcy, and his seven wonderful nieces and nephews Kayven, Kirsten, Luke, Nora, Eli, Parker and Ellianna. We feel happy and contented knowing Adam is finally free of his struggle with a disabling chronic pain condition. Over the past seven years of seeking countless means of relief and improvement in his quality of life, he was unable to experience normal pleasure and relaxation while in physical form. You will eternally live on in our hearts and will be a light to guide our way Adam. We love and miss you. Our Celebration of Adam’s Life will take place on Saturday, September 16, 2017 at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, 1250 Rogers Way. Service begins at 2:00 pm with reception to follow. In lieu of flowers, if you would like to contribute to fulfilling one of Adam’s final wishes we ask that donations be made to Dying with Dignity Canada (donation page www.dwdcanada.nationbuilder.com/donate) or Pain BC (donation page www.painbc.ca/getinvolved/donate). Thank you. Condolences may be emailed to the family at DrakeCremation.com
Mack Bryson After one helluva ride, Mack Bryson left this life on June 8, 2017.
In Loving Memory of Dianne Minty
He filled his 84 years with fun, hard work and adventure with friends and strangers alike. He loved and provided service to his home communities and their people: Pavilion-Lillooet, Merritt-Nicola Valley, the Cariboo-Chilcotin, Kamloops and Vancouver. He was always eager to lend a hand, share a story, or offer his opinion on politics - often over a fine malt. Mack leaves his beloved wife of almost 57 years Elizabeth (Stevenson) of Vancouver, adored children Lisa, Jack (Carla), and Doug (Marcia) as well as grandchildren Malcolm, Mackie, Duncan, Aza, Ingrid, Paul and Andrea (Luke) who all cherish his memory. He also leaves his beloved sister Donna Gillis of Cardston, along with her children, grand and great-grandchildren and much-loved sister-in-law Karyn Bryson of Ashcroft with her children and grandchildren. As well, Mack leaves a legion of family and friends who admired his warmth, joie de vivre and ready smile. He lived a charmed life and his intrepid nature led him to many unexpected experiences. He attended Britannia High School and later UBC and SFU in Vancouver. Starting life as a rancher and cowboy, Mack later became a teacher, politician (running provincially in Kamloops in 1969 and federally in 1980) coach, board member of Western Canada Theatre, a Citizenship Court Judge, Agriculture Canada manager, pioneer of High School Rodeo in Canada and also the Returning Officer for Elections Canada in Vancouver East for many years. Mack was a great story teller and wrote an autobiography about his early adventures on his family’s cattle ranch, Empire Valley. His book, “A Cowboy’s Life: Memories of a Western Cowboy in an Empire of Grass,” celebrates a way of life that few experience today. Mack and Liz and so many of their friends shared fun and travels together all over the world. He was predeceased by his brother Duncan and parents Eleanore and Clarence. A Memorial to Celebrate Mack’s Life will be held on Sunday, September 17, 2017 downstairs at Hoodoos at Sun Rivers, Kamloops between 2:00 and 4:00 pm. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to St. Paul’s Foundation - Interstitial Lung Disease. Spfoundation@providencehealth.bc.ca

Best friend and true love to her husband. Loving mother and best friend to her son, she left to soon. She was our human diary, taking all of our secrets with her. She will always be remembered for her loving smile, kind ways and great sense of humor. She passed on August 19, 2017 at the age 69. As in life, she helped to save the lives and souls of those she loved. She made us stronger then we believed we could be. She donated herself to help those in need. She continues on in our hearts and beliefs and those whose lives she helped to save. She’s greatly loved and will always be loved and missed. She was and is, and will always be our best friend.
To our passed loved one…live forever in eternity Dianne Minty.
#1 online news Source www.KamloopsThisWeek.com Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living,
In the hearts of those she touched, AWARD WINNING For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much. COMMUNITY NEWSPAPER

Annual Vegetation Management Program CN and other federally regulated railway companies are required to clear their rightsof-way from any vegetation that may pose a safety hazard. For example, Part II of the Rules Respecting Track Safety adopted by Transport Canada provide that “Vegetation on railway property which is on or immediately adjacent to roadbed must be controlled.” Vegetation on railway right-of-way, if left uncontrolled, can contribute to trackside fires and impair proper inspection of track infrastructure. As such, for safe railway operations, the annual vegetation control program will be carried out on CN rail lines in the Province of British Columbia. This program is necessary in order to eliminate brush, weeds and other undesirable vegetation, which constitute a hazard to the public and to CN employees and will be performed in conformity with current federal regulations, including Transport Canada’s Rules Respecting Track Safety. Wilderness Environmental Services (telephone 1-705-575-4805) will be applying herbicides on and around the railway tracks (mainly the graveled area (the ballast)). All applications will be done by certified applicators. All product requirements for setbacks in the vicinity of dwellings, aquatic environments and municipal water supplies will be met. This program will take place from August 25th to September 15th. 2017 and will include the following cities: Terrace, Vancouver, Kamloops, Lillooet, Prince Rupert, Prince George, Dawson Creek, Fort St. John, Fort Nelson, Tete Jeune, and MacKenzie. For more information, you may contact Luther Heimbaugh 1-705-575-4805.
