KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017 Saturday, Sept. 30

#Kampaign17 KTW continues a three-part series, having byelection candidates address three areas of concern: crime and policing, taxation and housing. Each issue begins with a story outlining the topic, followed by candidates’ responses, which will be spread out in three editions each week. We continue this week with the second issue — taxation — with the issue of housing slated for the week of Sept. 19. The issue of crime and policing ran last week. That story and candidates’ responses to it — along with all byelection news, can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com under the Kamloops Byelection tab. Voters go to the polls on Saturday, Sept. 30, to elect a mayor and two councillors.

A taxing situation at city hall ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

Kamloops’ property tax increases in the last decade have outstripped the rate of inflation by more than 50 per cent. The Bank of Canada’s inflation calculator puts the rise in the Consumer Price index since 2007 at about 16 per cent. Property tax increase figures for the past decade show residents pay 26 per cent more in taxes today, when the compounding effect of annual increases is taken into consideration. On average, taxpayers have seen their bills from the city rise by about two per cent each year.

Financial plans prepared for council over the past five years show there are a few consistent “influencers,” as the finance department puts it, contributing to budget increases. Increases to city staff wages and benefits have held on to the No. 1 spot on that list each year since 2013, with hikes ranging from $1.17 million (2013) to a high of $1.57 million in 2015. The city signed a five-year deal with CUPE Local 900 in 2014, which remains in place until the end of 2018, and gave unionized workers a 7.5 per cent raise over the life of the contract. The final two per cent of that

increase will kick in next year. City managers were given a similar pay increase at that time and are also due to see a two per cent wage hike in 2018. Kamloops firefighters will also receive a 2.5 per cent wage hike next year and in 2019. Unlike CUPE and management staffers, firefighter pay is typically tied to what other International Association of Firefighters members make on the Lower Mainland. Increases to the cost of the city’s transit system also remain a constant over the past five years, adding about $270,000 to $305,000 to the budget most years. See PENTICTON, A6

The 21-year-old driver of a Mercedes that passed traffic on Highway 97C between Kelowna and Merritt, reaching speeds as high as 200 km/h, “changed people involved forever,” according to a Kamloops provincial court judge. In October 2015, the red Mercedes attempted to squeeze between a Mazda in the passing lane and a semi-trailer in the slow lane, slamming into the rear of the truck and pushing the small car into the median, where it rolled and landed on its roof. Tyler Shenley Orr pleaded guilty to dangerous driving causing bodily harm in connection to the Oct. 16, 2015, incident. Both the driver and passenger of the Mazda were seriously injured. Driver David Neufeldt

received traumatic head injuries and can now only work for two days per week at his engineering management position, said Crown prosecutor Abel Fok. Fok said drivers on the highway reported they had to swerve out of the way to avoid Orr’s speeding car. They told police he was driving “like he was on a racetrack.’” Fok and defence lawyer Kevin Westell made a joint submission for 90 days jail, served intermittently, and a two-year driving ban. Orr has no criminal record and only a ticket for failing to display his “N” several years before as a novice driver. Westell said Orr also received less traumatic head injuries, noting his family reports he is more irritable and moody since the accident. “Although he has very little memory, he’s prepared to accept

unequivocally the driving pattern,” Westell said. Now 23, Orr works in First Nations consultancy in the Lower Mainland and expects to move into investor-relations work. After seeing photos of the aftermath, provincial court judge Stella Frame told Orr: “I’m amazed you’re alive and standing here.” She called the estimated 200 km/h “an incredible speed.” “It’s a sense of entitlement that you had driving a vehicle on a highway with all those people subject to the whims of your actions,” Frame said. She agreed to the joint submission that will see Orr serve his jail time on weekends. Orr must also pay $1,300 restitution for personal items damaged in the crash. He is expected to face far more serious monetary penalties in civil court.

Scam costs senior $4,000 Though it has been reported on repeatedly, a familiar scam continues to find victims, with a Kamloops senior losing $4,000. The scam involves a phone call from someone claiming be2:08 from Kamloops This Week to 17-9-6 PM Deleted: S:\DCS\Jobs (c3)\280728_Bythe victim’s bank and Kamloops This Week 17-9-6 2:08 PM of election 2017_ELC\283179_Notice Election_NOT.docx Deleted: S:\DCS\Jobs convincing the (c3)\280728_Bytarget to election 2017_ELC\283179_Notice of send money, usually by Election_NOT.docx wire transfer. In the most recent case in Kamloops, police say a person claiming to be a representative from

the head office branch of the senior’s bank repeatedly called her. “They told her that her bank account had been breached and, since money had been stolen, the account was now closed,” Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “The fraudster coaxed the woman into going to a Western Union to transfer money to ‘reopen her bank account’. Unfortunately, by the time this woman

and her family realized that this was a scam, she had already sent almost $4,000.” Shelkie said the public needs to be aware of such scams and to not fall victim to those behind such schemes. If you receive an unsolicited call that claims to be from your bank, requesting money, account or other personal information, do not respond. Instead, discontinue

the call and independently verify the phone number. Under no circumstances will a bank representative ask you to send money to them via Western Union or using gift cards. “It is important to tell family members who may not have heard about this scam,” Shelkie said.” Call the Canadian Anti-Fraud Centre at 1-888-495-8501 if you have been targeted.

Westsyde Pool soars into new age ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

After a wait of more than two years, the Westsyde Pool and Fitness Centre reopened on Friday with free swimming for all. The facility had been closed since June 2015 as a new roof was installed. In addition to a fully rebuilt pool enclosure, parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam said the city is waiting on delivery of a new 20-foot climbing wall for the pool, which will be the largest of its kind in the world, as well as a new rope swing. Once those arrive later this fall, a grand opening of the refurbished facility will take place. At that point, the centre will also be available for birthday parties. “When the climbing wall comes in, we think this is going to be the place to have a birthday party in Kamloops if you’re nine years old,” Putnam said. Health and sport development supervisor Linda Stride said changes have also been made to the pool’s fit-

school swims and a program for kids with autism, sponsored by the Vancouver Canucks. And, due to popular demand, the city has been able to find a teacher to offer evening aqua-fit courses. The pool’s lobby also received an upgrade during renovations.

An elderly Australian tourist was mugged in downtown Kamloops on Thursday night, losing her purse to the robber, but otherwise not injured. RCMP Cpl. Darren Michels said the woman was walking near Lansdowne Street and Third Avenue at 7:25 p.m. when a man yanked the purse from her arm as he ran by. A bystander gave chase, but could not catch the suspect. Michels said the purse and its contents were found a short distance away, with the wallet missing. He said while the tourist was not injured, she was shaken up. The suspect is white and in his mid-20s. He stands between 5-foot9 and 5-foot-11 and has a slim build. He was wearing jean shorts, a black T-shirt and a beige hat that sat backwards on his head. As of Monday, the suspect was still at large. “We’re still collecting some video surveillance from the area, but we don’t have a suspect at this time,” Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW. Anybody with information on the mugging is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

RIH preparing for construction of $417M patient care tower CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Royal Inland Hospital has recently recruited a number of specialist physicians as it gears up for the start of construction on a $417-million patient care tower. Heidi Coleman, CEO of the RIH Hospital Foundation, gave an update on area medical services to a meeting of Kamloops Downtown Rotary on Monday. Coleman said four cardiologists, three emergency room physicians, four internal medicine specialists, two anesthesiologists, two gastroenterologists and a neurologist have all been recently recruited to the city.

Requests for proposals for construction on the surgical care tower are expected to go out this week. Only four to five companies are expected to have the capacity and reputation to do the work. “Maybe in September 2018 we’ll have a shovel in the ground.” Among features of the new tower will be new operating rooms, a new floor for mentally ill patients that will replace One South and a helipad on the roof with a direct elevator to the operating rooms. Despite construction of the tower, Coleman said there is widespread belief by physicians the current 254 beds — and the staff to support them — is not enough. “We really need another 80,” she said.

Court hears details of sexual allegations against former Mountie, hockey coach Alan Davidson standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court facing sex assault charges dating back to 1970s It’s bothered me my whole life. There “ hasn’t been a day go by when I haven’t

CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two men testified Monday in B.C. Supreme Court that a hockey coach and auxiliary Mountie in Clearwater sexually touched them on separate occasions four decades ago — memories they cannot erase. Both witnesses, now 55 years, testified independently and through a closed-circuit television so they did not have to face the man on trial. Alan Davidson is charged with six counts of indecent assault, incidents alleged to have occurred in the late 1970s. Crown prosecutor Alex Janse told the court the sexual touching occured in a number of area towns due to the travel in the sports, hockey and baseball, where Davidson coached when he lived in Clearwater in the late 70s and early 80s. Davidson was arrested in Alberta in 2014 after a complainant came forward. The

investigation found other victims, including in Saskatchewan where Davidson later served as a Mountie. He has not yet gone on trial on those charges. The former Mountie and sheriff in Alberta confessed to a number of sexual assaults on his arrest, Janse said. “I thought I was the only one,” said the first witness, who recounted Davidson staying with his family as he did construction on the family home. Davidson was 21 years old at the time. His family owned a golf course in neighbouring Blackpool. The identities of all the complainants are protected by a

court order. The first witness said Davidson slept in his bed when he stayed at the family home for a short period. His older brother was in his own bed on the other side of the room. He recounted Davidson sliding over to him, under the covers, and performing a number of sexual acts on the 14-year-old boy. “I basically froze,” said the man, who was accompanied in the separate room by a victim services support worker. “I thought I would wake someone up — my brother or my parents. I was scared. I didn’t understand what was happening.” Following that, he said Davidson was overly friendly to him, picking him up at

school and buying him meals. The second witness recounted, who recalled being 14 or 15 at the time, said he accepted an invitation to stay at a cabin overnight at the golf course. That night Davidson showed him pornographic magazines, the first time the boy had ever seen pornography. Davidson then performed sexual acts on him. “He asked if he could touch me. . . . I thought it would be OK. So that’s what he did.” The second witness said Davidson, an assistant hockey coach on his team, touched him on a second occasion after inviting him to Kamloops for an overnight visit to the city. “I felt it was very wrong,” said the wit-

ness. “Mr. Davidson took advantage of me when I was young and innocent.” Defence lawyer John Gustafson questioned whether the incidents ever took place. He

asked the first witness whether Davidson instead offered to give him a neck massage after he complained of a migraine headache. “I’m going to suggest Mr. Davidson had no sexual contact with you at all, except this one massage. Do you agree with that?” he asked. “No,” came the first witness’s reply. Both men said they have been psychologically scarred. “It’s bothered me my whole life,” said the

second witness. “There hasn’t been a day go by when I haven’t had Mr. Davidson in my mind, what happened. I take medication at night so I can sleep and I’m not thinking about this stuff all the time.” Both told their stories to police only when the investigation started prior to Davidson’s arrest in 2014. The trial in front of B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan is set for as long as three weeks.

Penticton struggled with zero per cent From A1

City council has signed off on another service hours increase for next year, which will bring 5,500 more hours of transit service online as of September 2018. The steady rise in city taxes has a number of candidates in the Sept. 30 byelection looking for ways to trim spending at Kamloops City Hall, with some calling for a zero per cent tax increase next year. Zero per cent increases aren’t the norm in most municipal budgets, but there are recent examples. The City of Calgary dipped into its reserves to cover the cost of a 1.5 per cent tax increase this year, citing the struggles of residents affected by Alberta’s economic downturn. The move cost the city $22.5 million in reserve funds, according to CBC. On a more Kamloops-sized level, the City

of Nanaimo did not raise taxes in 2016. City staff told the Nanaimo News Bulletin it did so by cutting down on the number of general managers, putting a fire station on hold and deferring plans to ask for some new RCMP members. The city increased taxes by 1.5 per cent the next year. Critics of zero per cent increases like to point to the City of Penticton. Under Mayor Dan Ashton (now a B.C. Liberal MLA), the city froze its tax rate from 2011 to 2013. The city slashed more than 30 jobs, many in management, earning praise from the Canadian Taxpayers Federation. However, by 2013, Penticton was drawing on its reserves to cover costs, according to the Penticton Herald. Late last year, the city’s manager told Penticton council the city is facing a $175-million infrastructure debt, the Herald

reported. Of that, $77 million is in projects — aging roads or the city’s Memorial Arena, which was in an all-systems failure — that would typically be funded through taxation. The lack of tax increases wasn’t a sole reason for the shortfall — both the manager and Mayor Andrew Jakubeit noted the city’s population growth had stagnated, among other factors — but Jakubeit has been critical of the three-year freeze in past. “When you have multiple facilities spread out over different locations that are 50 and 60 years old, when you have infrastructure — water, sewer and electrical — that’s also aged and hasn’t always been addressed because of budgetary concerns or reductions or cutbacks, sooner or later you have to pay the piper,” Jakubeit said. “Sooner or later, you have to pay the piper,” he told the Herald in 2015. “Had we went closer to cost of inflation, then it would be less of an impact.”

A DECADE OF TAX HIKES IN KAMLOOPS 2007: 1.98% 2008: 1.97% 2009: 1.94% 2010: 1.79% 2011: 2.51% 2012: 1.9% 2013: 3.55% 2014: 2% 2015: 1.22% 2016: 2.35% 2017: 2.7%

Taxation: Byelection candidates offer views CANDIDATES IN THE SEPT. 30 BYELECTION WERE ASKED TO WEIGH IN ON THIS ISSUE. THEIR RESPONSES ARE BELOW AND WILL CONTINUE IN THE SEPT. 14 AND SEPT. 15 EDITIONS OF KTW JENNIFER ADAMS “Across B.C., the average business pays 2.78 times the rate a homeowner would pay on a similarly valued property. In Kamloops, that rate is 3.13. “Tax fairness ratio ensures residents and businesses are taxed more equitably. That is done by looking at the ratio of taxes on both groups, making sure any changes or increases are done in step and not putting more responsibility on one group more than the other. “Education and transparency build trust and confidence. How monies are collected, from where, and, for what purpose, with progress reports are important. When taxes are raised, citizens want to know why.” NICHOLAS ADAMS “I certainly think it is possible to implement a zero percent tax increase — and it is a great goal. “However, I do not believe it will be easy or simple to do so without affecting the services the City of Kamloops provides. Costs are forever rising and our city is not immune to the increasing cost of pro-

viding the services we all rely on. “There are inefficiencies in government and our is no different. Finding and addressing these inefficiencies could prove difficult and, possibly, costly. “City council should be looking for innovative solutions to ensure the financial efficiency of the city. We need to ensure we make smart, responsible investments that will serve us into the future. Failing to invest now can cost more in the long run. “Budgets should not reflect merely this or the next election cycle. “ NANCY BEPPLE “Currently, city taxes are based on maintaining existing services and then considering any new requests, such as additional policing or new parks. “Even with no additional services, increases in costs such as wages and electricity drive up the budget. But an increased budget doesn’t have to mean increased taxes. “I am strongly advocating for expanding the amount of light industrial land so there are more taxpayers to pay for services in the city.

KAMLOOPS BYELECTION 2017 Saturday, Sept. 30

#Kampaign17 “Smart growth, which includes infill and higher densities, also reduces overall costs because there is less need for more roads, sewer pipes and water. Before we ever contemplate cutting fire protection, police, and parks and recreation to reduce the budget, we should look for ways of increasing the tax base and adopting more smart growth strategies.” JESSE BOCHEK “It’s simply necessary to any functioning society. Infrastructure, emergency services, public events and places like the TCC are all products of taxpayer contribution. “I certainly see the proposal of a zero per cent property tax increase as an opportunity for the city to reflect on what it does efficiently and what it can do in the future to encounter cost-saving measures. “But, in the end, as the old saying goes, ‘You get what you pay

for.’ Services that convenience people are services that people are happy to chip in for, and we can all agree we like seeing plow trucks out on snowy days and sweeper trucks out in the spring. “It’s ultimately down to reasoning and intent behind these increases. The city must be aware that some people live here by choice and can move elsewhere if they don’t feel they’re getting a fair deal.” RAY DHALIWAL “I do support maintaining a zero per cent tax rate increase or a reduction in the tax rate and believe it is possible. “One way I see Kamloops reducing the rate is to reduce the city’s water consumption and maintenance by xeriscaping all of the sides of roadways and mediums. “Kamloops is a semi-desert area and it costs a lot to maintain a healthy lawn in our area because of the lack of precipitation we

receive. Removing the grass on the sides of the roads and medians by either using brick or rock cover instead of grass that requires much costly maintenance will be a huge cost savings. “It will also have a positive impact on the environment by elimination of greenhouse gasses produced by the vehicles and maintenance equipment. “This is only one measure that can be implemented to save huge tax dollars and help get the tax rate to a zero per cent increase.” JON EADIE “A zero per cent tax increase is something I would love to see, but it really comes down to a business case study to determine feasibility. “I would like to lead council collaboratively toward applying business insight and keeping the big picture in mind. I would look very hard inwards at reducing costs within the operating budget without negatively impacting needed operations. “Looking closely at capital spending to ensure we aren’t spending taxpayer dollars on nice-to-haves when there are needs to be addressed is also key.

“I do feel like residents are overtaxed. “The City of Kamloops is here to service the citizens of Kamloops and I believe it has to work harder and more efficiently to serve it’s community better.” DENNIS GIESBRECHT “The standard answer to taxation is pay less and give me more. “This is almost never achievable, but I think people just want to feel they are getting value for the taxes paid. “The target of a zero per cent tax increase should always be the goal. Falling into the trap of a comfortable two to three per cent hike is dangerous and leads to a less than optimal effort at spending cuts. “Gains in efficiency and technology advancements should always be investigated and I believe the front line city staff would be the best source of continual improvement. “A tax freeze with an inflation rate of about two per cent is only achievable if you believe there is two per cent fat to be cut at city hall. I believe there is, which is why hard questions must

be asked: Where is the money going? Does every department deliver value for dollars spent? Should discretionary budgets have a cap or built-in time lags so councillors can do more due diligence? And is our tax structure competitive to attract business investment?” ASHLEE HUDIE “Taxes are an essential part of the city’s annual budget, but Kamloopians are already paying more than other B.C. cities. “I would not support any initiative to raise this amount and instead look for alternative funding measures, such as cuts to non-essential programs — but only as a last resort. “Currently, the city projects $29 million in 2017 in parks, recreation and cultural expenses, nearly equal to those expenses allocated to police services. “I would support increased meetings to discuss the budget line by line, to ensure all programs are having the intended benefits for the community. I would not ask for my neighbours to pay for anything that did not have clear and tangible benefits.

Hudie talks diversity, deregulation ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Ashlee Hudie wants to see safe spaces for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents and a focus on tending to business concerns.

Diversity and deregulation are at the centre of Ashlee Hudie’s bid for a seat on Kamloops city council. The 28 year-old graduate student wants to see the city remove barriers for businesses and do more for its lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender residents. Hudie, who is finishing her master’s degree in business administration, said she’s running because she wants to give back to the city. “I was looking for a way to serve Kamloops and I thought a byelection was a great way to get involved in local politics, to see what’s going on in the community,” she said. Hudie said her business studies mean she is focused on the local economy. In speaking to businesses downtown, she said she has found “a lot of regulations that are preventing them from running their business the way they’d like to.” Those restrictions often involve hours of operation allowed by city, she said, with complaints coming from restaurants and bars. Hudie also wants to see the city allow food trucks in more locations

tives the city can offer or bylaw changes it can make. She also wants to see the city get involved in opening a pride centre, which could serve as a safe space for members of the LGBT community. Hudie, who is a lesbian, said she faced bigotry in Kamloops as she was planning her wedding, with some businesses refusing to sell her items when they discovered she was marrying another woman. “I think we just need to educate our community,” she said. Hudie said a pride centre could follow the model in other cities, offering meeting and drop-in space to non-profits that serve the community. In a previous city in which she lived, Hudie offered sex-ed classes for teens out of one such centre, to allow them to get safe and accurate information about their identities, which isn’t taught in schools. “I’d really like to see a safe space in Kamloops,” she said. There are 21 candidates running for two vacant city council seats. The byelection is on Sept. 30.

BE AWARE AS SEASONS CHANGE

here are a few points in the calendar that mark major changes, like New Year’s Day and the start of a fresh year. This past Labour Day weekend is another as it is the true start of the year. There are still a few days until the official start of fall, but we can already feel autumn’s arrival in the crispness of the air. It’s a time of year that brings on mixed emotions from everybody: parents sad to not be able to spend as much time with their kids and happy not to have them underfoot, kids anxious about starting a new school year, with the scary excitement of new classes, new friends or even a new school to learn about. The one thing students shouldn’t be worried about is crossing the road. Drivers have enjoyed a couple of months of school speed zones being suspended, but they’re all back in force now. And, as students move from school to school, they may not be as familiar with the roads around their school as you are. Drivers should always be careful in school zones, just as they are around playgrounds and parks. There is no telling when a child or youth may be crossing the street on their way to play. But this time of year, when everyone — students and drivers — are adjusting to new conditions, demands special care on the part of drivers. It’s a good time for drivers to review the speed zones on their commute and it’s also a good time for parents to talk about road safety with their children: basic rules like looking both ways, not stepping into traffic from between parked cars or making sure the bus driver can see them before walking in front of it. We are all starting anew this month. Let’s make sure we do so without mishaps that can be avoided.

How I spent my summer . . .

had an awesome summer job this year. I was your mayor. Actually, I will serve as acting mayor until midOctober, when the new mayor and two new councillors, elected in the Sept. 30 bylection, are sworn in. I’m humbled my council colleagues asked me to take on this caretaker role and very thankful for their support and that of city staff. It’s been a very interesting summer. I was in Ottawa at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference on June 1, my first day as full-time acting mayor. One interesting takeaway was the prime minister’s announcement of Smart Cities Challenge. Full details are still to come, but I am hoping Kamloops will compete for a $10-million prize that will showcase our amazing local innovation, technology and ideas. June was also a month of significant anniversaries. The weekly Pit Stop community dinner for people experiencing the effects of poverty celebrated 20 years of service. Our local branch of the Royal Canadian Legion celebrated an incredible 90 years. In July, after more than six years of review, city council took a position opposing the proposed Ajax mine proposal. The vote was 5-1. It would have been 6-1 if former councillor Ken Christian had not resigned before the vote to run for mayor. The vote, in my view, reflects council’s overall assessment that

CITY HALL this specific mine proposal presents a substantial risk of negative impact to the health and economic well-being of Kamloops citizens. Council supports economic development in many different ways. I hope those who support and those who oppose Ajax might be able to unite behind other big projects in the community. Ajax is not the only egg in our basket. July was also the start of a terrible wildfire season. On July 8, we had the most fire starts in one day in recorded history. Starting with Cache Creek, Kamloops hosted people from many communities who were evacuated from their homes. I have never been more proud to represent Kamloops than during our time as an evacuation centre. Kamloopsians stepped up in so many different ways. Our already incredible emergency support services staff and volunteers were supplemented with so many new volunteers. In fact, one of the biggest challenges during the peak of

the wildfires was trying to coordinate all the offers of support and assistance. I was very proud to talk of the generosity of Kamloopsians in local, provincial and national media interviews. In late July and into August, we got hit with smoke from the Elephant Hill fire to our northwest and our air quality was compromised. Seeing the Air Quality Health Index website list Kamloops as having the worst air quality in the province was not fun. Later in August, we continued working to bring down a spike in negative impacts from street drug use. There have, for example, been a large increase in the number of discarded needles left in public spaces. We need to do better in supporting people living with serious addictions. We also need to reduce the negative impacts of their behaviours on others. In the past 10 years, the city has encouraged a co-ordinated, holistic approach to these social issues. This spike in impacts can sometimes strain our co-ordinated work, as different stakeholders are pressured to just do something. The co-ordinated approach, however, is the key to lasting success.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

STIFFER PENALTIES FOR CELLPHONE USERS Editor: On Sept. 7, I was driving on Columbia Street when a lady driver cut in front of me without signalling. When I pulled alongside her, I rolled down my passenger window and told her to leave her cellphone alone. She gave me the finger as she was too busy talking on the phone and drove off in huff. I have an idea on how to stop the use of

cellphones — emulate what the province does for drivers who drink and impound vehicles on the spot for two weeks, in addition to a $1,000 fine and impound fees. In addition, slap offenders with higher insurance rates for three years. Too bad if they lose their homes as the measures may save lives. Also, those who can afford higher-end cars should be paying a much higher rate for their

insurance than the rest of us. I am a retired, 82-year-old BCAA member since 1988. I had one chargeable accident back in 1958. At that time, I lost my licence for three years as I could not afford the insurance of $2,000. I had a young family and made $1.45 per hour. I have had a clean record ever since. Frank Lang Kamloops

TIME FOR MUNICIPAL POLICE FORCE TO COME TO KAMLOOPS Editor: A Sept. 5 KTW story on crime and policing states the City of Kamloops is paying for RCMP constables that are not in the community. At $150,000 a year and at a cost to me as a taxpayer of $461 a year, this offends me.

Editor: Re: Tom Fletcher’s column of Aug. 29 (‘ICBC: No easy answers’): As a retired safety professional, I’d like to share my thoughts on car crashes. When former B.C. Liberal transportation minister Todd Stone raised speed limits and targeted slow drivers, I predicted there would be more crashes, injuries and deaths on roads. I was not alone. Police, ER doctors and other safety professionals predicted the same outcome.

I object to the fact the city also pays for part of the operation of RCMP provincial headquarters in Surrey, while also funding completely the local detachment. Paying this amount of money for policing, yet having not one bit of control or direction, is not acceptable.

Yes, there are more distracted drivers than ever and drivers impaired by drugs and alcohol — and they are going faster. I recently sold my classic car, a 1966 Beaumont sports deluxe with lap belts. I would not take my grandchildren for a ride because of close calls with bad drivers. There are so many — and my neighbourhood pub parking lot is usually full in the evening and empty in the morning.

stopped drinking and driving. Unfortunately, NDP Justice Minister David Eby is also out to lunch on the solution. There is a need to slow down the high fliers. Technology is available for instant freedback and penalties for those who cause crashes. Excessive speed is the easiest part of the crash equation to address. It’s not just about money, but about lives. Certainly, B.C. Liberal polices have contributed to road deaths and injuries.

Tougher laws without education and enforcement do little, as shown by the ICBC statistics. Phil Harrison Comox

SD73 student enrolment up slightly this year Pending final revisions at the end of the month, the 44 schools in the KamloopsThompson district will have 14,137 students this year, 294 more than last year. Preliminary estimates show 8,621 students in elementary classes and 5,516 students in secondary schools. Rob Schoen, the district’s assistant superintendent of elementary schools, said enrolment numbers are close to what was projected by district staff at the end of last year. The increased enrolment has led to pressures on some schools, with the district bringing in a number of portables to deal with the crunch. Valleyview secondary has 957 students

Other schools may have decided to eliminate the rooms as classroom needs grow. Schoen said the district can also consider bussing students from one school to another with more space, but added staff will do everything possible to keep children in their catchment schools. The district continues the process of hiring teachers teaching on call (TTOC), with some permanent assignments still being filled.

Air quality concerns keeping students indoors Lingering poor air quality in the B.C. Interior due to wildfires has prompted the Kamloops-Thompson school district to act. Due to the continuing poor air quality the district has decided to keep elementary students indoors dur-

ing recess and lunch breaks on days when Environment Canada’s Air Quality Health Index is at 7 or higher. The index ranges from 1 to 10+, with 1-3 considered low risk, 4-6 moderate risk, 7-10 high risk and anything over 10 very high risk.

On Thursday, for example, the Air Quality Health Index in Kamloops was at 7. On its website, Health Canada indicates those with health or breathing problems should stay indoors when the AQHI reaches 7 or above.

It also notes that “children should take it easy.” To ensure children do not engage in strenuous activities at unstructured times such as recess and lunch hours, the school district has decided it is in the best interest of

students to keep them inside. The decision does not apply in the district’s secondary schools. Secondary school principals, teachers and students will be advised to follow the Health Canada

guidelines. As air quality is not measured in rural communities, principals in schools outside Kamloops will be advised to use their judgment to assess local air quality to the best of their ability. If in doubt, prin-

cipals will also be asked to keep children indoors during unstructured play times. The Air Quality Health Index website can be found here: weather.gc.ca/airquality/pages/bcaq-007_e. html.

Trial over lake access reopens STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Members of a Nicola Valley fish and game club allege the Douglas Lake Cattle Company neglected to show incoming streams during a special court viewing on the ranch in May. Supreme Court Justice Joel Groves allowed the Nicola Valley Fish & Game Club to reopen the trial Friday after lawyer Chris Harvey said members discovered two watercourses that flowed into Stoney Lake, one of two lakes at dispute in the trial over public access.

The club is suing the ranch for what it claims is blocked access to a public road and two lakes — Stoney Lake and Minnie Lake — that are fenced and gated. Access is granted only to paying guests of the ranch. The trial closed after submissions in February. But the court scheduled a special viewing in May, following the snow melt, in order to better understand the complex geography of the surrounding lands. Harvey successfully argued Friday for the trial to be reopened and for a witness, club member Ed Hendricks, to be allowed to testify.

WE HAVE A NEW

Hendricks was among the lawyers, judge, reporters and club members allowed access for the site tour on May 23. “I recall Mr. Gardner [Douglas Lake ranch manager Joe Gardner] taking us to a dry draw,” Hendricks said of a trickle that ran into Stoney Lake. “There wasn’t even enough water to wash the moss off the rocks.” Hendricks said he and another member, skeptical of the representation, wandered and found another creek. They were allowed back on the ranch two days later and found the creek did not flow to Stoney Lake.

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.

ing visitors to Tunkwa Lake the water may contain a toxic algae that has sickened dogs and killed three cattle. A spokeswoman for the B.C. Ministry of Environment confirmed signage warning of the algae has been posted at the lake, which is about an hour west of Kamloops, just north of Logan Lake. Kamloops resident Anita Ashton told the Canadian Press she and her family visited Tunkwa Lake over the Labour Day long weekend, but the trip was interrupted when pet dog Rufuss suddenly collapsed. Ashton said a veterinarian determined Rufuss would survive, but had likely consumed something that contained blue-green algae, an organism that produces cyanobacteria. The B.C. Environment Ministry website says the bacteria can cause everything from skin rashes to stomach cramps and fever in humans, but it can be lethal to dogs, other animals such as cattle and even wildlife. Ashton said there was no signage at the beach where her children were playing and where the dog is believed to have lapped up the potentially contaminated water. She wants B.C. Parks to do a much better job in future. B.C. Parks has now put up signs following media reports. B.C. Cattlemen’s Association general manager Kevin Boon confirmed three cattle have died this summer since drinking water from the lake.

This is “something

we see almost on an annual basis where we can see some sick cattle from it. It usually happens when we see these hot summer days.

”

— KEVIN BOON, B.C. Cattlemen’s Association general manager

The bacteria thrive in phosphorus-laden waters with a high concentration of fertilizers, agricultural runoff or sewage, and Boon said blue-green algae is well known in Tunkwa Lake, where ranchers have now blocked their cattle from reaching the water. “This is something we see almost on an annual basis where we can see some sick cattle from it,” Boon said. “It usually happens when we see these hot summer days.” Blue-green algae blooms were also reported this summer in lakes on Vancouver Island. Local angler Don Trethewey said the phenomenon is seen in some area lakes occasionally, including Edith Lake south of Aberdeen. He said several years ago some, more stagnant parts of the lake were hit with the algae, while other areas were safe. — with files from Canadian Press

Freeland says feds ‘working hard’ to help Canadians left stranded in Caribbean No known Canadian fatalities after Irma slammed region THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland expressed sympathy and solidarity Monday for those Canadians trapped in the Caribbean by the devastation wrought by hurricane Irma, as well as their worried family members at home. Freeland, her government under siege from critics who say it has been slow to help, said the federal government is doing everything in its power to bring its citizens to safety and that she personally won’t rest until the job is done. “We are working very, very hard to bring you home,’’ Freeland told a briefing via conference call from Toronto. “We are very aware of how frightening, how worrying this situation is, and I am not going to rest until everybody is back and safe.’’ Some 390 people have been brought home over the weekend, and commercial flights will be returning to Toronto with the rest of those who have registered

with Global Affairs Canada — about 150 people in St. Maarten and 90 in Turks and Caicos. One persistent question has been why it took so long for Ottawa to deploy any aircraft to the region, where hundreds of Canadians have been pleading for help, their frustration escalating by the day. Airports are among the facilities most affected by the hurricanes, a situation that has complicated relief and evacuation efforts, Transport Minister Mark Garneau told the briefing. “From the beginning, the airlines have been available; the problem has been the availability of the airstrips, or permission to leave,’’ Garneau said. “This can lead to some misunderstandings. But there’s a reason for it.’’ A special team from Global Affairs Canada and the Department of National Defence is in Antigua to determine what help is needed after the region endured the one-two punch of hurricanes Irma and Jose. “I certainly understand how

they are feeling stressed [about delay in evacuation], and I can understand how their relatives are feeling stressed,’’ Garneau said of Canadians stuck in the region. “But quite often there is a logical explanation.’’ Several countries, including the U.S., the Netherlands and the U.K., have evacuated citizens with military aircraft; Conservative deputy leader Lisa Raitt has slammed the federal Liberals for not doing the same. Freeland said a C-17 Globemaster aircraft will be delivering relief supplies, and will be available to bring home any additional Canadians still in the region later in the week. Freeland’s parliamentary secretary, Omar Alghabra, said the government’s incident response centre has processed 2,140 calls and emails, and noted there have been no known Canadian fatalities. St. Maarten, located on the Dutch side of an island divided between French and Dutch control, was devastated by the hurricane.

Bank of Canada defends itself for staying silent before rate hike THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada is defending itself amid questions about its public silence ahead of an interest-rate hike last week that caught many analysts by surprise. BMO chief economist Doug Porter has taken issue with the lack of public remarks by the central bank in the eight weeks before a rate increase that he says caused a fairly violent market reaction. In a note Friday to clients, Porter wrote that while he

thought the case for a rate increase was strong, he felt the Bank of Canada’s silent summer created a great deal of uncertainty for markets ahead of the decision. Porter argued that the rate hike caught many analysts off guard — and he points to one survey that found only six of 33 forecasters anticipated the jump. But a Bank of Canada spokesman said market data before the hike showed roughly 50-50 odds of an increase — revealing that a much greater percentage of traders were correctly interpreting

the bank’s most-recent messaging from early July. In response to Porter’s criticisms, Jeremy Harrison also said key figures showing surprisingly strong second-quarter growth were released less than a week before the rate announcement — during the bank’s pre-decision blackout period. He said the communications approach was not unusual because in three of the last four years the bank didn’t make any public remarks between the scheduled rate announcements in July and September.

Long lines form for aid on Irma-battered Caribbean islands THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

HAVANA — With ports mended and weather cleared, officials struggled Monday to get aid to Caribbean islands devastated by Hurricane Irma and tried to take stock of the damage caused by the Category 5 storm. At least 34 people were reported to have been killed in the region, including 10 in Cuba, whose northern coast was raked by the storm. Cuban state media said most of those died in Havana, where seawater surged deep into residential neighbourhoods. To the east, in the Leeward Islands known as the playground for the rich and famous, governments came under criticism for failing to respond quickly to the hurricane, which flattened many towns and turned lush, green hills to a brown stubble. Residents have reported food, water and medicine shortages, as well as looting. British Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson defended his government’s response to what he called an “unprecedented catastrophe’’ and promised to increase funding for the relief effort. Britain sent a navy ship

Markets rally after U.S. Irma damage less than expected North American stock market indexes jumped on Monday after hurricane Irma weakened without causing as much damage in the United States as initially feared. The S&P/TSX composite index was up 54.98 points to 15,040.30, with most sectors rallying. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average soared 259.58 points to 22,057.37, the S&P 500 was up 26.68 points and the Nasdaq composite index climbed more than 72 points. and almost 500 troops to the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla and the Turks and Caicos islands that were pummeled by the hurricane. The U.S. government said it was sending a flight Monday to evacuate its citizens from St. Martin, one of the hardest-hit islands. Evacuees were warned to expect long lines and no running water at the airport. A Royal Caribbean Cruise Line ship was expected to dock near St. Martin to help in the aftermath, and a boat was bringing a five-ton crane capable of unloading large shipping containers of aid.

‘17 Rav4 Hybrid winning awards and hearts if there are three people sitting on long roadtrips. The smaller back seat was due to the battery pack for the Hybrid system. As far as cargo numbers are concerned, there isn’t much difference between the hybrid and non-hybrid version. Behind the second row is 1,008 litres of cargo space which increases to 1,999 litres when the backseat are folded down. This is only 79 litres less than the non-hybrid version, so there is almost no compromise. The SE Hybrid version comes with a power lift gate as standard and is available in the LE+ Hybrid. Large doors make it easier for taller occupants to enter and exit the vehicle.

DAVID CHAO

GLACIER MEDIA

he Toyota RAV4 revolutionized the compact SUV market way back in mid 1990s, thanks to its “cute” design, AWD chassi, and practical packaging. Since then, the RAV4 has become the household name in the family SUV segment. The RAV4 is now in its fourth generation cycle; last year, Toyota revised and updated both the interior and exterior of the vehicle. Perhaps one of the most exciting things about the refresh was the debut of the hybrid model. Automobile Journalists Association of Canada (AJAC) named the 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid “the Canadian Green Utility Vehicle of the Year”.

PERFORMANCE Powering the RAV4 is a sophisticated system that’s built around a 2.5-litre four-cylinder that works in conjunction with an electric motor. The hybrid system produces a total of 194 hp and 206 lb-ft of torque. This is paired up with Toyota’s CVT or continuously variable transmission that enables the

The Rav4’s exterior underwent some changes for 2017. Its design became modernized with a bolder grille and redesigned LED headlights.

car to produce best-in-class fuel efficiency numbers. Low fuel consumption is achieved with aid from the regenerative braking system that converts kinetic energy to electricity from all four wheels. This vehicle is designed and programmed to be a top performer when it comes to fuel efficiency. For a mediumsized SUV with a curb weight of 1775 kg, it is impressive to hear that fuel consumption comes in at a combined 7.8 L/100km. The RAV4 Hybrid’s standard AWD system is not mechanical in design, unlike the non-hybrid version. Instead it uses a 67-hp third electric motor on the rear axle to provide the rear wheels with torque when its control system senses the need. Out on the road the RAV4 is

responsive, but does not feel as sporty as some of its competitors, like the Mazda CX-5. It does ride lower than some compact SUVs and combined with the AWD system, the car provides stable, predictable handling even when driving conditions are tough. The power-steering system is better weighted than expected and gives a good sense of on-centre feel. However, the road feedback to the driver is absent or minimal. Four driving modes are available when driving: normal, sport, eco and EV. Even though each mode has a specific purpose, we found that normal mode works the best. Eco mode can get bogged down and can lead to a stressful situation because immediate power is not available when demanded. Sport mode seems just

a little silly on a car that has been optimized for fuel efficiency. ENVIRONMENT In true Toyota tradition, the RAV4 is a crossover that’s easy to live with. The ride is quiet and comfortable for everyday use. The driver’s seating position is car-like and supportive. The stitched grey leather-look on the dash and seats are upscale in design and soft to the touch. This premium feel continues with the addition of chrome door handles, a leather-wrapped shift knob and steering wheel. There is a new seven-inch touchscreen with Navigation as standard in the SE and Limited Hybrid versions. There is plenty of room upfront, but adults sitting in the back row might feel a bit cramped

THUMBS UP Great fuel economy over the standard model, plus extra power and great utility for everyday challenges. THUMBS DOWN The design is beginning to show age compared to newer competitors. The steering feel is somewhat numb. THE BOTTOM LINE The Toyota RAV4 offers high reliability, modern features and lots of interior space in a hybrid packaging. It’s a practical, fuelefficient SUV that everyone dreams of owning. D#30150

DESIGN A big improvement was made to the interior by upgrading to higher quality materials, including more soft-touch surfaces. Toyota added such items as digital display in the instruments gauge cluster, a 7.0-inch (optional) touchscreen and a 12-volt outlet for the rear plus another USB port. The RAV4’s exterior went through changes, too. Its design became a bit more modernized with a bolder grille and redesigned LED headlights. Hybrid badging can also be found throughout. Overall, the car retains its good looks and it continues to look upto-date, despite the fact that the basic body hasn’t changed for a number of years.

FEATURES The 2017 Toyota RAV4 starts at $34,455 and there are three versions to select from. All of the RAV4 versions come with all-wheel-drive and Toyota’s Safety Sense P. This includes automatic high beams, lane departure alert, pre-collision system with pedestrian detection, and dynamic radar cruise control. These are kind of features that were only available on expensive Lexus models a few years ago. Fuel efficiency numbers (L/100km) are 6.9 city and 7.8 highway.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

Tips on perfecting that holiday dinner party

s the temperatures drop, we all spend more time inside. The transition from backyard barbecues to indoor dinner parties has begun. Follow these simple steps to host a successful dinner party guests will be talking about later” • Create your very own centrepiece for the table. Use holiday-themed pieces in transparent vases to add décor detail to the party. These can be reused and you’ll be sure to get compliments. • Try to make everything as far in advance as possible. The moments before the doorbell rings are precious and you could spend your time doing one last tidy. • Light some candles. The atmosphere can make or break a dinner party, but the right ambiance doesn’t have to be extravagant. Candles are inexpensive and readily available. If you’re not into real candles, there are many artificial versions available. • Create a stress-free kitchen. Make sure the dishwasher is completely empty and the trash has been taken out before the party begins. That way, you can load the dishwasher as you go and don’t have to worry about a full trash can and extra garbage accumulating. — Metro Creative

Let’s maximize your space People who live in compact homes or apartments may find space is at a premium during regular times of the year. When the holidays arrive, decorations, trees and presents can make homes seem even more cluttered. This can make it especially challenging for holiday hosts who want to open up their homes for festive gatherings. Even if space is at a premium, all it takes is a little ingenuity to entertain successfully: • Put non-essential furniture and other decor away. It’s impossible for would-be holiday hosts to move all of their belongings out of their homes to create entertaining space. But hosts can certainly cut down on clutter. Check out the flow of a room and then move pieces around as needed to open up floor space. Push tables or large pieces of furniture up against walls. Swap out armchairs for folding chairs. Stow knickknacks in bedrooms or in closets. • Put benches and wide ledges to use. Narrow benches, such as those common to picnic tables, can seat three or four comfortably. Do not discount deep window ledges as potential seats, as these areas can be made more comfortable with pillows or cushions. • Collapse tables after meals. If a sit-down dinner is the goal, set

Holiday entertaining requires some creativity when hosting in compact spaces.

up tables accordingly. Then break down the tables afterward to free up more space. Serve small desserts that can be easily transported from room to room. • Use islands and countertops. Tables can take up valuable space. When entertaining a lot of guests, set up an all-purpose counter island and

add barstools. This can be an area for food prep, eating and entertaining. • Create conversation areas. Encourage guests to spread out by setting up intimate spots in various rooms. This way, guests won’t feel the need to congregate in the same space. Bistro tables in a den, a few floor pillows in front of the fireplace and stools by a kitchen island will create conversation areas. • Expand outside, if possible. Rent a tent that can be warmed with a space heater. If your home has a closed-in porch or patio space, cover screens with insulating plastic to create a comfortable added room. • Skip a sit-down meal. Large tables take up a lot of space, so serve a buffet, tapas or passed hors d’oeuvres so guests mix and mingle rather than sit down at one large table. • Use all available surfaces. Invest in some sturdy serving trays that can be placed on television stands, upright speakers, ottomans, or even wooden crates. This will increase the amount of room you have to serve and store items. • Spread out refreshments. Avoid bottlenecks in common areas by putting food, beverages and other items in various locations. Fill up the kitchen sink with ice and make it an oversized beverage cooler. – Metro Creative

LANDMARK LEVELLED

Demolition of the former Kamloops Daily News building continues. After the newspaper ceased operations in January 2014, the city purchased the property at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue in March 2014 for $4.8 million. A failed referendum to build a $91-million performing-arts centre followed, leading to a decision by city council to demolish the building that once also housed The Bay department store. The result will be a parking lot, which the city says will remain until a new development proposal is approved.

Executives cut ties with Sagebrush golf course The once-private Sagebrush Golf Course near Merritt has been closed since 2015, when Langley-based Newmark Group bought it.

COLE WAGNER

MERRITT HERALD

newsroom@merrittherald.com

Two top executives connected to the Sagebrush Golf and Country Club have severed their relationship with the Newmark Group, a real estate and development company that bought the golf course near Nicola Lake in 2015. Scott Masse, hired as the general manager for Sagebrush, and James Cronk, formerly president of Newmark’s golf division, made the announcement in an email on Friday afternoon. “Due to recent events and circumstances beyond our control, we have immediataly [sic] ceased

providing consulting and management services to Sagebrush Golf Club and Newmark,” read the extremely brief press release. When contacted by the Herald, Masse and Cronk declined to comment further on the matter.

But there was ample reason to speculate about the nature of the “recent events and circumstances” referenced in the release. Earlier on Sept. 8, Mark Chandler — director and owner of the Newmark Group — was slated to appear

in court, facing extradition to the United States for an alleged “fraudulent scheme” he was alleged to have run back in 2009. Court documents reveal the Federal Bureau of Investigation had run a special investigation into Chandler’s

The 2017 BC Regional Startup Canada Awards are coming to Kamloops this Friday. Entrepreneurs from across Western Canada will be at the Rex Hall, at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue downtown. The event recognizes technology companies and individuals from B.C. and Alberta in 17 categories and is the only one of its kind for the two provinces. Kamloops Innovation Centre (KIC) executive director Lincoln Smith said his organization, which partnered with Startup Canada, was able to attract the event as a result of a funding

real estate dealings in Los Angeles, where it is alleged Chandler misrepresented his finances to secure more backing for his real estate developments. Chandler’s company is also named in a swath of other civil suits in B.C., many of

which are related to a Newmark-owned condo-development in Langley. The 93-unit project was supposed to have been complete more than a 18 months ago — but tenants have yet to move in to the units. The Sagebrush course was initially slated to be reopened in the spring of 2016. Cronk, then-president of the Newmark Golf Group, said more construction was necessary before the course could be opened to the public. In the spring of 2017, with no timeline in place for opening the course, Masse offered

this statement in an email to the Herald: “The past several months have been spent diving deeper into the project and given us time to better understand all that Sagebrush has to offer, and as a result we continue working towards our goal of elevating Sagebrush to the quality golf and lake resort community experience that we are striving for.” In 2015, Sagebrush’s previous owners sold the course to the Newmark Group — but a series of zoning issues with the ThompsonNicola Regional District held up the deal, leaving the course closed.

peaking honestly is nothing new for Ed Patterson and listening to him tee off is likely already getting old for his Kamloops

Storm. And, if they’re not tired of hearing blunt, scathing assessments of their work ethic from their head coach, they should be. “It’s just disheartening to see what they want to put forward for their first weekend’s effort,” said Patterson, whose Storm (0-2) fell 6-2 to the Summerland Steam in their home opener at Memorial Arena on Saturday. “We are young, we’ve got 20 rookies and it is a learning process, so we have to be a little patient, but there are minor hockey kids out there that actually want to get better, that want to play at the next level, that would put more forward than this.” Patterson called out players in an interview with KTW two weeks ago, saying many of his charges did not work hard enough in the off-season. Hometown Revelstoke (2-0) downed Kamloops 3-1 on Friday, a scoreline that would have been worse for the visitors if not for goaltender Jordan Wilde, who stopped 50 shots in a losing effort. Summerland (2-0) peppered Kamloops goaltender Ethan Paulin-Hatch with 48 shots on Saturday, spending most of its time in the offensive zone and doing a good job of pressuring the Storm into turnovers, three of which led to goals. The Storm, dealing with injuries and waiting on several players to join the team, had three defencemen in the lineup on Saturday and fatigue was showing by the time the third period rolled around. “We can play a lot better,” said Storm forward Nathen Weninger, a Kamloops product who had

an assist on Saturday. “We need some leaders to step up and let the boys know Kamloops is a winning team.” Morey Babakaiff opened the scoring for the Steam just before the halfway mark of the first period, hushing the sparse crowd of about 100 that showed up to the venerable Victoria Street edifice. Seiji Brown tallied for Kamloops to tie the game 1-1, but Ethan Grover restored Summerland’s one-goal lead before the first intermission. Erik Evans brought Kamloops level early in the second frame,

but Scott Robinson and Lucas Jirousek notched goals to push the Steam ahead, the latter a dagger coming with 37 seconds to play in the second period. Grover and Jirousek each lit the lamp again to sink the Storm, who did not put up much of a fight in the third period. Frustration boiled over when Storm forward Jayden Castle took a run at Carlos Rogers, leaving the Steam forward bloodied and in a heap on the ice. “I loved the fact that he stood up for his teammate,” Patterson said.

ing to health and the roster still taking shape, but the straighttalking bench boss wasn’t making any excuses for his team. The same players who claim they want to move on to higher levels of hockey showed little passion in their home opener. That is unacceptable, Patterson said. “It’s like me saying I want to be a doctor and showing up to the ER dressed like I’m ready to go, but having no clue,” Patterson said. “That’s the PG version of what I think of this group right now.”

Oz was not kind to Catharine Pendrel on Saturday. The 36-year-old rider who lives in Kamloops started well at the UCI Mountain Bike World Championships in Cairns, Australia, pedalling hard in an effort to cap a down season with a podium finish. The Fredericton-born Clif Pro team member who won world

titles in 2011 and 2014 could not keep the pace and crossed the finish line in 27th place. “Some days you’re the hammer, some days the nail,” Pendrel said in a Facebook post. Jolanda Neff of Switzerland took the women’s elite crosscountry Olympic title. Annie Last became Great Britain’s first medallist in the discipline at worlds, finishing second. Pauline Ferrand-Prevot of France won bronze.

Emily Batty of Brooklin, Ont., was the top Canadian, placing seventh. Pendrel was unable to capture in 2017 the form that saw her claim bronze at the Olympic Summer Games in Rio and win overall World Cup gold in 2016. “The bad thing about a good start is you find out too quickly if you don’t have the legs,” she said. “Twenty-seventh was a tough way to finish the season, but, hello, needed off-season.”

WolfPack soccer teams had different luck MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

The TRU WolfPack soccer teams took to the road in Canada West action on the weekend. In men’s play, TRU tied 0-0 with the Trinity Western University Spartans in Langley on Friday before doubling the Fraser Valley Cascades 4-2 in Abbotsford on Saturday. “Overall, another strong match,” WolfPack men’s soccer head coach John Antulov said after the match Saturday. “We had most of the possession in the first half and in the second we put lots of pressure on them and it resulted in scoring chances.” Ryan Glanville, Koffi Nyavor, Finlay McPhie and Colton Walker had goals in support of goalkeeper Lubomir Magdolen on Saturday.

TRU is unbeaten in its last four matches and improved its record to 2-1-3. The WolfPack, who are hosting the U Sports men’s soccer championship in November, are scheduled to play the Lethbridge Pronghorns on Sunday, with game time set for 2 p.m. at Hillside Stadium. TRU’s women suffered a pair of weekend losses, falling 3-0 to the UNBC Timberwolves in Prince George on Friday and losing 7-2 to the MacEwan Griffins in Edmonton on Sunday. “Not unhappy with the

girls’ performance,” WolfPack women’s soccer head coach Kelly Shantz said. “We need to relax. We have work to do and they know it.” Camryn Curts and Olivia Bates tallied for the Pack on Sunday, with Dannielle Robertson handling goalkeeping duties for TRU. TRU (0-2) will play the Saskatchewan Huskies in Saskatoon this Saturday and the Regina Cougars on Sunday in the Queen City. — with files from TRU sports information

Citing no significant injuries and with a victory to speak of, Westsyde Blue Wave head coach Cory Bymoen couldn’t have asked for much more on Friday in Prince George. Bymoen’s charges topped the Kelly Roadrunners 29-8 in pre-season B.C. Secondary Schools Football Association exhibition play. “We were pleased with the outcome of the game,” Bymoen said. “All our players had meaningful minutes, we won and, most importantly, we came

away from the game relatively healthy.” Quarterback Devon Konst was 18-for-25 for 249 yards, with touchdown strikes to Connor McCoy and Branden Lys. McCoy finished with six receptions for 121 yards, while Lys racked up 83 yards receiving on seven catches and tacked on a field goal and a strip-sack for a safety. Blue Wave running back Talen St. Jean carried 13 times for

149 yards and a touchdown. Julian Ferrigan racked up 61 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries. On defence, Matteo Viani had 10 tackles and broke up a pass, Logan Henry had one sack, one forced fumble and one blocked pass, Greg Griffiths had one sack, and Colby Griffiths and Cameron Treadwell each recovered a fumble. “We played hard and came away with a positive result, so that’s something to build on,” Bymoen said.

Grandmaster funk CANADIAN CHESS PLAYER WITHDRAWS AFTER ‘GYPSY’ INSULT IN GEORGIA

SIDHARTHA BANERJEE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Canada’s chess federation says it has filed a formal complaint over the treatment of a Canadian grandmaster at a signature event just minutes before he was to play one of the biggest matches of his career. Anton Kovalyov, 25, said in a Facebook post he pulled out of the World Cup in Georgia on the weekend because an organizer complained to him about his shorts and called him a Gypsy. The Chess Federation of Canada has protested Kovalyov’s treatment to FIDE — the World Chess Organization — as well as to the organizers of the $1.6-million event. Kovalyov said an organizer berated him about his shorts just minutes before his third-round match. The Ukrainian-born Montrealer, currently a university student in Texas, had worn the shorts in previous rounds without incident. “The issue were not the shorts, but how I was treated,’’ he wrote. He went on to explain that organizer Zurab Azmaiparashvili was hostile and aggressive and used the

“Gypsy’’ slur as an insult. The grandmaster said he was subjected to bullying and racial taunts and decided to leave instead of doing something stupid. He foreited his prize money in the process and, in a later Facebook post, said his family was out $3,000 because of his decision. The Chess Federation of Canada representative said it is seeking a diplomatic solution, given the Olympiad — a team chess championship — will be put on next year by the same organizers. “Our player has definitely been wronged and our federation is very angry about it,’’ Hal Bond, a member of the group’s executive, said in an interview. “I’m hoping that an apology will be forthcoming from the organizers.’’ Kovalyov had a solid shot of making the next round, said Chess Federation of Canada president Vlad Drkulec, adding Kovalyov is arguably Canada’s best player right now. “He’s probably Canada’s best chance for a super grandmaster,’’ Drkulec said in an interview, noting he knocked off a previous world champion from India in an earlier round.

Rockets best Blazers in shootout The Kelowna Rockets edged the Kamloops Blazers 4-3 in a shootout at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on Saturday. Justin Sigrist, Brodi Stuart and Nic Holowko had goals for the Blazers, who are 1-2-0-1 in pre-season play. Kyle Dumba, a 19-year-old netminder from Calgary, and Max Palaga, a 17-year-old goalie from Kamloops,

are competing for the Blazers’ backup goaltender position. They split time between the pipes on Saturday, with Palaga stopping all 12 shots that came his way and Dumba giving up three goals on nine shots. Palaga has a .969 save percentage in the pre-season, Dumba a mark of .743. Leif Mattson, Nolan Foote and Kyle Topping scored for the Rockets (3-0-1-0), whose net

was shared by Cody Porter and Brodan Salmond. Porter allowed three goals on 21 shots. Salmond had a 24-save shutout performance. Jack Cowell beat Palaga to score the only goal of the shootout. The Blazers and Rockets will meet again to start the regular season on Sept. 22 in Kelowna. Kamloops will play host to the rematch at Sandman Centre

on Sept. 23. The Blazers will finish exhibition play with a game against the Cougars in Prince George on Friday.

NFL tweet classless ARNIE STAPLETON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Of all the dubious decisions in the opening week of the 2017 season, none topped the insensitive tweet from the league’s official NFL Mexico account with three smiley emojis that likened the Kansas City Chiefs’ big victory over the New England Patriots to the deadly earthquake that shook Mexico and took 90 lives. That was worse than the Atlanta Braves playing “Rock You Like A Hurricane’’ between innings of their baseball game against the Miami Marlins on Thursday night while Hurricane Irma was bearing down on Florida. That Scorpions’ rock anthem is on the regular playlist at SunTrust Park and apparently was an oversight in the series opener. Besides, we’ll give the Braves props for allowing any Floridians fleeing Irma to attend any of the four games in the weekend series for free. The NFL apologized

for its “unacceptable’’ tweet after the Chiefs upset the Super Bowl champions 42-27 in the season opener Thursday night. The game ended about a half-hour before the strongest earthquake in Mexico in a half-century struck the country’s southern coast. The tweet from the @nflmx account said in Spanish: “When Mexico City shakes with an #earthquake because it can’t believe the @Chiefs won the #Kickoff2017 game.’’ After the tweet received widespread criticism online, the NFL Mexico account apologized for the “unacceptable tweet . . . which doesn’t reflect the league’s values. We reiterate our solidarity with Mexico.’’ The NFL is one of the most popular sports in Mexico, where

the Oakland Raiders will play a regular-season game in November for a second consecutive season, this time against defending champion New England. Speaking of the Raiders, they benefited from one of the biggest backfires Sunday when they recovered an onside kick to start their game at Tennessee. Derek Carr hit Amari Cooper for an 8-yard TD pass four plays later, propelling Oakland to a big 26-16 win. “We could have had the ball at the 50-yard line with a pretty potent offence if we execute the onside kick,’’ said a defiant Titans coach Mike Mularkey. The Texans did right by recognizing J.J. Watt, who has become the celebrity face of Houston’s recovery from Hurricane Harvey after raising a staggering $31 million. Watt addressed fans in a video message played on the big screens before kickoff and Watt emerged from the tunnel waving a Texas flag .

Anderson falls short at US Open BRIAN MAHONEY

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Kevin Anderson walked outside to greet his South African supporters, some having already climbed to the top of their sport. There were golfers Charl Schwartzel and Louis Oosthuizen, who have won major championships. And Johan Kriek, the last South African to win a Grand Slam tennis title who travelled two days in hopes of seeing another. Anderson will have to hope for a second chance to join their club. His first appearance in a Grand Slam final ended Sunday with a 6-3, 6-3, 6-4 loss to Rafael Nadal, who handled the big serve and forehands that were the catalysts of the No. 28 seed’s surprising run at the US Open. “I definitely felt I was playing good enough tennis to give myself a chance tonight,’’ Anderson said. “It didn’t work out that way, up against a very tough opponent.’’ Anderson managed just 10 aces — about half what he averaged in his previous six matches — and was in trouble in many service games starting early in the match. Once Nadal locked in on the 6-foot-8 Anderson’s serve, it was clear Anderson would

have to get into Nadal’s, but he never even got a break point. “It was definitely difficult,’’ Anderson said, “and I think he had a pretty good read on my serve, and he was getting my serve games and he was holding quite comfortably.’’ But his success this summer, including another finals appearance in Washington, has the 31-year-old Anderson’s career headed back in the right direction. His ranking had tumbled to No. 80 in January, its lowest in 6 1/2 years, during a difficult start to his year that included a hip injury that forced him to miss the Australian Open. Anderson was hurt again in June, forced to retire from his fourthround match at the French Open against Marin Cilic with another leg injury that slowed his Wimbledon preparation. But after coming into New York at No. 32 — he would have been the lowest-ranked U.S. Open champion — Anderson will be back to the top 15 after his performance in Flushing Meadows. He’s eyeing a return to the top 10, where he was in October 2015. “It’s great to sit back at the end of the week and see the jump that I have made and the spots I have been able to climb, something I can be very proud of,’’ he said.

Quarterback Jonathon Jennings threw for 295 yards and two touchdowns in the B.C. Lions’ 41-18 victory over the Montreal Alouettes at B.C. Place Stadium on Friday.

Jennings relieves injured Lulay in Leos’ victory JOSHUA CLIPPERTON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — A man of considerable faith, B.C. Lions head coach and general manager Wally Buono wrote a message to Jonathon Jennings containing a bible verse after he benched the struggling quarterback in the wake of three straight losses. “Doing something above and beyond means a lot,’’ Jennings recalled. “It was saying, ‘Don’t fear anything because I’m always with you.’’’ The third-year pivot didn’t know it then, but he would be back on the field sooner than anyone expected. Jennings came off the bench to throw for 295 yards and two touchdowns after Travis Lulay suffered a suspected torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee as the B.C. Lions snapped a three-game losing streak with a 41-18 victory over the Montreal Alouettes on Friday night. The win provided a boost to the Lions’ playoff chances in the CFL’s powerful West Division, but celebrations were muted by the fact Lulay is likely gone for the year. “I’m at a loss for words,’’ said Jennings. “That’s the sad part about this game — injuries like that. Especially the way he’s been working, how hard he’s been working, how

well he’s been playing. “It’s tough to see as a friend and it’s tough to see as a teammate.’’ Jennings connected with Emmanuel Arceneaux and Chris Rainey on TD tosses for the Lions (6-5), who were coming off a bye week and moved, at least temporarily, ahead of the Saskatchewan Roughriders into fourth in the West. Rainey also blocked a field goal that led to Anthony Gaitor’s 73-yard touchdown return on the final play of the first half, while Jeremiah Johnson ran in two more scores — his CFL-leading 10th and 11th TDs of 2017. Arceneaux and Bryan Burnham each had over 100 yards receiving for the Lions. “We’re all here to do a job,’’ said Jennings, who was hurt on the first play from scrimmage against Hamilton in July, forcing Lulay into action. “As the second-string quarterback, you know you’re the next play away. I worked all week to prepare myself for the opportunity if it came.’’ Darian Durant threw a TD to Ernest Jackson and scored another on the ground, while Boris Bede kicked a field goal for the Alouettes (3-8), who have now dropped four in a row and sit third in the East. Jennings was benched after three ineffective performances in his return from an injury

to his throwing shoulder, but was pressed into service when Lulay was tackled by Montreal’s Branden Dozier on a six-yard run as he looked for a first down on the second play from scrimmage. Lulay, who nearly led an improbable comeback after replacing Jennings at halftime of B.C.’s 31-24 loss to the Redblacks in Ottawa on Aug. 26, was seen wiping tears from his eyes after being helped to the sidelines where he was examined by trainers and had his leg placed in an air cast. “There’s significant damage,’’ Lulay said afterwards. “We’ll have to do an MRI to confirm what happened exactly. “I’m shocked more than anything. Things happen.’’ Set to turn 34 later this month, Lulay has dealt with a number of serious injuries in his career, but was back healthy and had a 3-1 record in Jennings’ absence earlier this season. He came into Friday with the CFL’s top passer rating and completion percentage. “We’re going to rally around him and that’s going to motivate us going forward,’’ said Burnham. “That’s life for you. You think everything’s starting to go good and, bang, you’re right back down.’’ The West Division-leading Calgary Stampeders (9-1-1) will play host to the Lions on Saturday. Game time is 4 p.m.

Everyone wants something you possess, Libra. It’s not a material object, but self-confidence and common sense. Continue to exhibit the same passion you always do.

Scorpio, you are prone to sticking to the familiar and things that might not provide much of a challenge. This is the week to try something new.

Sagittarius, it’s great to have many helpful, supportive people in your corner. These supporters are with you at every turn. Show them how much they’re appreciated.
