WEEKEND OF WEAPONS IN KAMLOOPS MOUNTIES DEAL WITH TWO SHOTS-FIRED INCIDENTS AS GUNPLAY IN CITY CONTINUES

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW LEFT: Kamloops Mounties are investigating after a 24-year-old man suffered minor injuries in a shooting in a unit in an apartment building at 805 Holt St. on Saturday. RIGHT: Michael Boyer was arrested Monday following an incident Saturday night at the Tournament Inn in Valleyview. An officer was injured during an altercation.
It is believed he was apprehended at 217 Nelson Ave., the North Shore house at which two men were shot on Oct. 23. Mounties were at the address Monday with guns drawn. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the situation in Valleyview escalated when a Kamloops Mountie outside the Tournament Inn, which
is at 1893 East TransCanada Hwy., noticed a group of people in the parking lot acting suspicious. Shelkie said he approached to investigate, which led to an attempt to detain a man. “The suspect allegedly became violent and a struggle ensued,” Shelkie said. She said an investi-
gation has determined the suspect produced a handgun, pointed it at the officer and made threats to shoot the officer. The officer then fired his pistol at the suspect. Shelkie said that while shots were fired, the officer was not injured by gunfire. He was injured during the altercation and treated and released from
Royal Inland Hospital. In the summer of 2016, Boyer was involved in a gunfire incident outside the Landmark Place condos in Sahali, at Summit Drive and McGill Road. On June 25, 2016, a fight between two men on the sidewalk outside the condos led to a gun being fired. A sevenhour standoff with police followed, with
Derek Muirhead, 20, eventually arrested and charged with numerous offences. In court, Judge Stella Frame referred to allegations of a midmorning gunfight on the streets of Kamloops, witnessed by five people. Court proceedings show Boyer told police Muirhead challenged him to a fight and
pulled out a handgun. During the struggle, Boyer said, the gun went off, but the bullet did not hit anybody. Boyer told police he took the gun from Muirhead, punched him in the face and threw the weapon in a nearby bush. Boyer was initially arrested. See SHOOTINGS, A2 D#30150
Kamloops Mounties were kept busy Saturday dealing with two incidents in which guns were fired, continuing a string of shootings in the city. And, in one of the weekend events, a Mountie fired his weapon at a suspect who allegedly brandished his own gun and threatened to shoot the officer. That altercation involving a handgun occurred at the Tournament Inn in Valleyview and sent a Kamloops Mountie to hospital while police continue to search for a suspect. An earlier incident Saturday involved a 24-year-old man being shot at a Brocklehurst apartment building and suffering minor injuries. A man and woman were arrested in connection with that call. In connection with the Valleyview incident, Michael Shawn Boyer, 41, was arrested Monday afternoon.

Shootings stretch back to early last year From A1
He told police where he had stashed the firearm and was eventually released without charge. Muirhead’s charges were eventually stayed by Crown. At the time of the summer 2016 incident, both Muirhead and Boyer were living in the Landmark Place condos. Boyer was also the subject of a Kamloops Daily News story in July 2011, when he underwent six hours of emergency brain surgery after being injured in a boxing match during an amateur So You Think You Wanna Fight competition on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. Boyer was already on disability at the time of the boxing injury due to injuries sustained when he was hit by a vehicle when he was seven years old. Meanwhile, a man and woman were arrested in Brocklehurst on Saturday following the shooting that sent a man to hospital. Kamloops Mounties were called to an apartment building at 805 Holt St. at 10:15 a.m. to investigate a report that a firearm was discharged, with the bullet injuring the 24-year-old. His injuries were minor and he was treated and released from

Royal Inland Hospital. On Monday, RCMP said they believe two people in a next-door unit were involved in a violent altercation when a handgun carried by one of them accidentally discharged, going through the wall and hitting the neighbour. When police were called, they cordoned off roads in the area of Tranquille Road, Holt Street and Greenfield Avenue as they worked to establish what happened. A neighbour said the police focus seemed to be on unit 105. Staff Sgt. Michel Grondin said a 45-year-old man and a 41-year-old woman were taken into custody and are co-operating with the investigation. One of the pair is expected to be charged with firearms offences.
Saturday’s gunplay was the latest in a series of shootings in Kamloops, some gang-related, stretching back to the beginning of 2016. On Feb. 18, 2016: a man who was shot in the leg at the PetroCanada station in west Kamloops. The suspect fled the scene before police arrived. Police said the victim was not being co-operative with investigators and no arrests were made, nor charges laid. That shooting was followed by the June 25, 2016 gunfire incident on McGill Road involving Muirhead and Boyer. On Sept. 21 of this year, Konaam Shirzad, co-founder of the Red Scorpions gang, was killed after being shot multiple times in the head as he and two gang associates walked near Shirzad’s home on Hudson’s Bay Trail in the Guerin Creek subdivision. One of those gang associates with Shirzad, Ibrahim Amjad Ibrahim, was shot to death in Richmond less than three weeks later. On Oct. 23 of this year, two men were shot at a house at 217 Nelson Ave. on the North Shore. Neither is co-operating with police and an arrest has yet to be made.
Mother of suspect urged son to turn himself in Michael Boyer’s mom, Darlene Boyer of Courtenay, posted a message on Facebook, urging her son to turn himself in prior to his arrest on Monday: “My worst nightmare this morning has happened. My son Michael is on the Kamloops news wanted and at large considered dangerous. “I sit here praying that he gives himself up. He had 9 years clean and went back out to this frighten (sic) addiction and lifestyle. “There is nothing I can do but wait which is making me physically sick. “If anyone sees him or heard from him please please please tell him to surrender.

A Taser, a mace, brass knuckles and guns were among items seized from a North Shore home on Oct. 27. Police raided the house at 297 Holly St. as part of the ongoing investigation into the Oct. 23 incident at 217 Nelson Ave., where two men were shot. Neither man suffered life-threatening injuries. An arrest in connection to the shooting has not been made.
Police find weapons, drugs and stolen ID in raid SEARCH OF HOLLY AVENUE HOUSE WAS CONNECTED TO SHOOTING ON NEARBY NELSON AVENUE Kamloops Mounties have released photos of weapons seized in an Oct. 27 search of a Holly Avenue home, a search first reported by KTW on that day. The search of 297 Holly Ave. on the North Shore was in connection to the Oct. 23 shooting of two men at 217 Nelson Ave., which is a few blocks away. The two men suffered non-life-threatening injuries and no arrests have yet been made. The subsequent search of the Holly Street residence, in which Kamloops officers were aided by the emergency response team from Kelowna, turned up firearms, prohibited weapons, drugs and stolen identification.
Two people were in the home and were released following the search. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said four firearms were found, one of which was loaded. Also seized were ammunition, brass knuckles, bear spray, a mace, a Taser and the identification of 37 people (including driver’s licences, birth certificates, social security cards and Care Cards), 14 of which were reported stolen. Also found was marijuana and a white powder that was sent to Health Canada for analysis. “Items located in this residence are concerning to police from a safety perspective,” Shelkie said.
“Specifically, the house is split-level condominium. The residence that was searched is situated below another residence, where a family with small children reside. Furthermore, the condominium is located in close proximity to Arthur Hatton elementary.” Shelkie said police are talking to the landlord of the property. The investigation into the shooting on Nelson Avenue and the items seized on Holly Avenue is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-2228477.

ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A new winter shelter operating out of the former Stuart Wood elementary in downtown Kamloops is already seeing heavy use. Christa Mullaly, executive director of the Canadian Mental Health Association’s Kamloops branch, which operates the shelter, said 19 people used mats in the school gym during its first night of operation on Wednesday. That number increased dramatically Thursday night, as snow blanketed the city, with 42 people spending the night and taking in a hot meal and breakfast. On Friday night, the shelter welcomed 64 people, followed by 58 people seeking warmth on Saturday night and another 61 visitors on Sunday night.
Mullaly said the cold, snowy weather likely encouraged more people to try the shelter for the first time. “Word on the street travels fast, too,” she said, with more people having heard about the shelter from friends after the first night. With temperatures staying in the negative double digits into this week, the shelter will likely continue to see heavy use. In addition to a warmSeries place to sleep, shelThe Resort ter visitors at Stuart Wood getModel two meals Park Homesand have access to hot showers and laundry services to deal with wet clothing. The CHMA is also offering case-management services to those who wish to use them. Mullaly said the association is also seeking donations of toques, mittens and wool socks to help keep those using the shelter warm through the cold weather.
• Meanwhile, the opening of the Stuart Wood shelter at Third Avenue and St. Paul Street, which will operate daily from 8 p.m. to 7 p.m. through March 31, did not impact numbers at the established Out of the Cold shelter, which operates out of St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral at Fourth Avenue and Nicola Street. Out of the Cold opens its doors at 7 p.m. Canada Wednesday and Sunday, giving people each a warm place to sleep, along with food and drinks. Out of the Cold’s first night of the season was last Wednesday, coinciding with the opening night of the Stuart Wood shelter, and almost all of the 23 mattresses spread out in two rooms were in use. To donate items to Out of the Cold, or to volunteer, call 250-573-3430.

Distracted drivers are facing higher penalties in British Columbia. The provincial government wants to designate distracted driving as a highrisk behaviour under the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia’s driverrisk premium program. That means a driver with two tickets for distracted driving over a three-year period will see their total financial penalties rise to as much as $2,000, an increase of $740 over existing penalties. The changes will take effect March 1. The government said the penalties are separate from vehicle insurance premiums charged by ICBC and will be levied even if an individual does not own or insure a vehicle. The government said distracted driv-
ing is a factor in more than 25 per cent of all car crash fatalities in B.C., killing an average of 78 people each year. Currently, there are about 12,000 drivers in British Columbia who have multiple distracted-driving offences over a three-year period. When fully implemented, the changes will result in about $3 million to $5 million in additional premiums collected annually, which will be used to offset ICBC’s overall basic insurance rate pressures. “B.C. already has some of the toughest distracted-driving penalties in Canada and these changes make our rules even tougher,” said Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General Mike Farnworth. “ In the continuing fight against dis-

tracted driving, even a single death is one too many.” Paula Pepin was injured in a serious crash caused by a distracted driver. “It is mind-boggling to see that people still believe that picking up their phone, for even a split second, while driving is safe. Two seconds of looking at your screen is all it takes to cross the lane into oncoming traffic,” she said. “Distracted driving through the use of mobile devices has become a widespread issue and more must be done to change people’s behaviour. This is a step in the right direction, and hopefully, the start of a broader cultural shift around this issue.” Attorney General David Eby said the changes will treat distracted driving as a serious high-risk behaviour.

Does the downtown need another parkade? A study city council will be asked to approve Tuesday could answer that question. Corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth said the study, which could cost up to $100,000 (though a price tag of about $75,000 is expected), would look at current parking demand downtown and what is likely needed in 10 and 20 years. The study would be funded by money in the Downtown Parking Infrastructure Reserve Fund, which is itself funded by parking-fee revenue. “There’s some people that say we have parking problems downtown right now, there’s other people that say we have no parking problems downtown, we don’t need a parkade,” Duckworth said. “So it’s looking at the current state and the future.”
Considerations will include how to encourage more transit use to the city’s core, what development is expected downtown and the availability of offsite parking for employees. Consultants will also study the movement of employees and visitors in and out of the downtown and make recommendations on when new off-street parking might be required. Duckworth said the study will include selecting several potential locations for a future parkade, looking at land already held by the city and determining when such a building would be required. Consultants could also recommend the city expand existing parkades instead of building new. They will also be asked to define a “reasonable level” of parking availability downtown, including an average walk between parking spot and destination. Duckworth said it’s possible that information will counter perceptions there is a

Solar compass points way to renewable energy DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
It may look like a compass, but the solar installation at Thompson Rivers University is designed to do more. Ultimately, said Michael Mehta, it could point the way to integrating charging strips in roadways that could charge electric vehicles as they are being driven. For now, however, the solar compass outside the Arts and Education Building on campus has other purposes, said Mehta, a geography and environmental-studies professor at TRU. First, it’s to demonstrate how solar can be commonplace and not relegated to large panels on tops of buildings or out
in fields. It’s also designed to show solar projects can also look good. Mehta entered the project into the university’s sustainability grant competition. Once approved, he opted to use the existing compass design at the building, but build into it more than five dozen one-foot by two-foot solar modules, each producing 80 watts of power that ultimately should see it generate enough power per year to run about 40 computers and printers. Just prior to the official unveiling of the compass on Thursday, with the city experiencing its first significant snowstorm of the season, Mehta kept an eye on the installation to see how people reacted walking on it. He didn’t expect to see a flurry of falls, he said, because the only real
difference people might feel walking on it is the modules have a slightly different friction level than the sidewalks surrounding them. He likened it to walking on a sidewalk and encountering a painted line or a grate. There’s a different feel underfoot, but nothing too significant. The compass has been in place and generating energy since July, so students are likely familiar with its underfoot feel, he said. The solar walkway is a first in Canada. The university invested about $30,000 in the project, which Mehta and other researchers will continue to monitor. The panels were donated to the university by Solar Earth Technologies.

A man accused of shooting at Mounties before engaging in a standoff with police that closed a portion of a major provincial highway will be allowed to contact his father from Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre (KRCC). Shane Caron, 35, was taken into custody in the early-morning hours of Oct. 28 at the conclusion of a 17-hour standoff with police. He is facing 12 charges stemming from the incident, including four counts of attempted murder in connection to allegedly shooting at officers. RCMP shut down Highway 5 north between Mount Paul Way and Highway 1 due to a threat of shooting from the trailer park, where Caron was allegedly holed up. On Monday, the Crown did not oppose a reduction in the number of names on Caron’s no-contact list of people he cannot speak with. The list includes more than a dozen peo-

SEX WORKERS IN NEED OF HELP
T
he discovery of human remains in the community of Silver Creek near Salmon Arm has put the spotlight on an issue those on the street have known about for years and years. Women who work in the sex trade are in grave danger each and every day. It’s a segment of the population that is one of the most at risk due to many things, not the least of which is the power that some men feel over women. Women who work in the sex trade face threats of violence, sexual predators, rape. And they face it every day. As RCMP continue their investigation around the Silver Creek area in the Shuswap, police are expanding the scope as more reports of missing women come forward. But some are questioning why it has taken so long for police to act on something that has been well-known to those in the community. “Why are we just jumping on this when we see a bone and a body part?” said Angie Lohr of Kelowna-based HOPE Outreach. “Why didn’t the RCMP say there was a safety concern in August? Why did they wait three more weeks?” Lohr said she knows the RCMP are busy, but suspects issues with sex trade workers fall to the bottom of the pile all too often. It’s a reality that people in northern B.C. have been living with for a long time with the number of missing and murdered women who live along Highway 16, what has been termed the Highway of Tears. But now we know this is not an issue that is just in northern B.C. and it’s not just in Salmon Arm, where five women are missing. It’s happening everywhere. It’s not something that will be solved easily but more effort is needed in the communities that we live in. We can’t look away anymore, pretending that it’s not our problem. This is our city and there are people in danger every day. Kudos to Kelowna tech company YodelMe, which stepped forward with an idea for a pilot project for sex trade workers that would geotag their location in an emergency. We need more community thinking, more outside the box thinking, more help for the most vulnerable in our community. — Vernon Morning Star

Road map to learning
T
his is an important year for School District 73 as we embark on a new path set for us by our recently developed five-year strategic plan. In 2016, the district’s board of education decided it was time to take a look at the priorities, objectives and goals we had set for ourselves. The world around us is continually changing in many ways and we realized that to keep education relevant, we need to change with it. The provision of education services for more than 14,000 students across many communities requires careful co-ordination and deliberate action. As a result, the board created a committee of our stakeholders, including parents, teachers, support staff and other members of the community. We consulted this group on a wide range of topics. Eighteen months later, after talking to more than 3,000 people, the results were compiled and a new contemporary strategy — a blueprint for great local education — was in our hands. Our new strategic plan has six key priorities: 1) We will ensure every student acquires strong foundational skills and core competencies. Students today face a more challenging world. We need to provide our graduates with strong skills in the basics, as well as in important 21st-century skills such as critical thinking and creativity. 2) We will connect students

to their passions and interests. Exploring students’ interests, passions and career aspirations is at the heart of our new plan. We will connect students to their future dreams. 3) We will honour the First Peoples’ principles of learning and Aboriginal worldviews and perspectives. We are committed to ensuring Aboriginal students see their culture reflected in our schools and classrooms and that all students learn the history and the culture of the Secwepemc region. 4) We will foster an inclusive, adaptable and accountable district culture. It requires a cohesive team to deliver education efficiently across a school district as large and diverse as ours. Working together, with everyone knowing they have a place and role to serve, is the only way to ensure that we can deliver on the expectations of our communities and educational partners and provide an education that serves the needs of our youth. 5) We will strengthen partnerships to enrich the way we lead,
learn and work. Partnerships forged within our communities enhance the quality of education. Engaged partners bring valuable perspectives and experiences to education, leading to more meaningful outcomes for all students. 6) Ensure the sustainable use of our resources. Responsible use of the district’s publicly funded resources is a high priority. We are committed to ensuring that we are responsible managers and caretakers of our infrastructure for the benefit of the public, the environment and the quality of the educational experience. Our schools are community assets and an investment in the future of our youth. We’ve framed our five-year plan around a question and an answer — statements that perfectly define how our plan will affect students’ experiences in our schools. We will ask our students, “Where do you want to go?” and we will have an answer for them as well — “We’ll get you there.” This new vision for local education will guide decision-making through the next five years. We’re confident it will ensure students have the skills required to succeed. It’s an exciting time for all of us and we’re looking forward to the challenge of guiding our education system in a new, more meaningful direction.

LOOK TO BC HYDRO FOR RENEWABLE POWER Editor: Re: (‘Third city-run solar project, on Westsyde Pool’s roof, could be in the works,’ Oct. 13): What a complete waste of taxpayers’ money. A city employee thinks the city can generate power from the sun cheaper than BC Hydro. Another solar installation in Westsyde is all we need. It sounds similar to the $6-million parking lot at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. Kamloops has already invested more than $110,000 on solar power and city officials cannot tell us how much it costs to produce a kilowatt of power or how much money the city receives from BC Hydro for the power produced.
Grid-tied solar power in British Columbia is simply not competitive. Power produced from BC Hydro is clean, renewable, has no carbon footprint and is the cheapest. To get the maximum amount of power from the sun, you need the optimal location, the best angle to the sun and the panels need to be kept clean. Rule of thumb in Kamloops is one watt of solar panel will produce one kilowatt of power per year. Technology, with the use of controllers, will boost this amount, but over the years the panels will degrade and produce less. If you pay $3 per watt to install a solar panel and BC Hydro pays you 9.9 cents per kilowatt produced, it would take 30 years to recoup your money.
Solar panels are guaranteed for 25 years, but who knows what they produce after that. The whole system could be facing the recycling bin by then. Why would anyone in their right mind want to invest thousands of dollars in solar when they can buy clean renewable power from BC Hydro at 8.6 cents per kilowatt? If the city has $100,000 to install a solar system, it should invest the money as the interest alone will pay for all the power a solar system will produce. There is no installation cost, no maintenance and it won’t wear out. The only people benefiting from grid-tied solar in B.C. are the solar sales people. Danny Pochay Kamloops
BUSY POPLAR STREET NEEDS PAVING BEFORE DIKE Editor: Paving the Oak Hills dike is a concern? Really? Try paving Poplar Street first. And, while the city does that, it should rethink the whole road. The city allows parking on both sides of
the street. There are no sidewalks and, worst of all, large concrete poles are in the way, all the way down both sides of the street, blocking everything. Thus pedestrians scramble for safety, if they can find it, when
a car comes down the road. Is this a country road with no vehicles? No, it is a well-used road connecting a seniors’ home, houses, an elementary school and malls. Why can’t the city
change all of this and make Poplar Street safe? It is a nightmare for everyone to walk on. It is a wonder nobody has been killed on this street. Valerie Woolgar Kamloops

NATURAL SPACE MAKES SENSE AT MAC ISLAND Editor: I am encouraged to see the lively conversation around potential uses for the McArthur Island Golf Course site. Complementing the island’s tournament uses with amenities like picnic facilities and information on Kamloops attractions makes sense for part of the site, while other portions
could blend to the naturalized west end of the island. In this location near schools, the Big Little Science Centre and interpretive features already in the park, we have an opportunity to address what child advocacy expert Richard Louv calls “nature-deficit disorder.” Per his website and book, he “directly links
the lack of nature in the lives of today’s wired generation to some of the most disturbing childhood trends, such as the rises in obesity, attention disorders and depression.” A naturalized learning landscape within the city would be a precious thing. Julie Schooling Kamloops

Police believe a fire at a North Shore business last week was arson and they are asking for the public’s help in tracking down a suspect. Emergency crews were called to Pool Mart, 268 Tranquille Rd., at about 7 a.m. for a report of a fire. Investigators quickly labelled the blaze suspicious and RCMP Cpl.

CRA targets tax evaders exposed in Paradise Papers THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Canada Revenue Agency said it won’t hesitate to investigate new evidence of offshore tax evasion in the wake of a second massive leak of tax haven financial records. The leak of some 13.4-million records, dubbed the Paradise Papers, lifts another veil on the often murky ways in which the wealthy — including more than 3,000 Canadian individuals and entities — stash their money in offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes. Among the names that pop up in the records with some connection to offshore accounts are former Canadian prime ministers Brian Mulroney and Paul Martin, the Queen, U.S. commerce secretary Wilbur Ross, and the past and current chief fundraisers for the federal Liberal party. Neither the CRA, nor any court, has determined the Canadians did anything wrong. Offshore accounts are used by wealthy individuals and corporations around the world as a perfectly legal way to reduce their tax burden, although the anonymity provided to account holders has also led to associations with tax evasion, money laundering and organized crime. The Paradise Papers were obtained by German newspaper Suddeutsche Zeitung and the International Consortium of
Investigative Journalists, including CBC/Radio Canada and the Toronto Star, which published details on Sunday. The media outlets did not disclose how they acquired the documents, which consist primarily of client records of offshore law firm Appleby, as well as some records from offshore corporate services firms Estera and Asiaciti Trust. In an apparent attempt to pre-empt the news reports, the CRA issued a statement on Friday, detailing the agency’s efforts to crack down on tax evasion and tax avoidance, which intensified following the first huge leak of tax-haven records, known as the Panama Papers, in April 2016. The agency said it has invested $1 billion to tackle the problem and currently has more than 990 audits and more than 42 criminal investigations underway related to offshore tax havens. As a result of audits over the last two years, the CRA said it identified some $25 billion in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties. Last year, it levied more than $44 million in penalties on tax advisers who facilitated noncompliance with Canadian tax laws. The agency said it’s also working closely with 36 other countries in the Joint International Taskforce on Shared Intelligence and Collaboration on more effective ways to detect and deal
with tax evasion and avoidance. Evidently anticipating Sunday’s release of the Paradise Papers, the CRA promised to do more should new details of questionable practices emerge. “In the event that further details come to light, CRA will not hesitate to investigate and take further action as warranted,’’ the agency said. “The government of Canada will continue to work with the provinces and territories, as well as other tax administrations and all other partners, to ensure a tax system that works for Canadians. “In addition, the CRA will continue to build on its capacity to detect and crack down on tax cheats and ensure that those who choose to break the law face the consequences and are held accountable for their actions.’’ Tax avoidance measures involving offshore trusts are legal, provided that the trust is genuinely managed offshore and that Canadian taxes are paid on any Canadian contributions. According to the Toronto Star and CBC/Radio Canada, the records suggest that Stephen Bronfman and his family’s Montreal-based investment company, Claridge Inc., were linked to an offshore trust in the Cayman Islands that may have used questionable means to avoid paying millions in taxes.

Polygamy law set to be argued THE CANADIAN PRESS
CRANBROOK — The latest round in a decades-long constitutional debate over Canada’s polygamy law is scheduled to begin Tuesday in British Columbia Supreme Court. Winston Blackmore of Bountiful was found guilty of one count of
polygamy earlier this year and is expected to argue that the law infringes on his freedom of religion and expression. Blackmore is the leader of a small community in southeast B.C. that follows the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a Mormon breakaway sect that condones plural or “celestial’’ marriage.

Indigenous drug users more likely to die from ODs CAMILLE BAINS
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — Indigenous drug users in British Columbia are 13 times more likely to die compared with other Canadians of the same age, according to a decade-long study calling for cultural connections as a path to healing deep-rooted pain. The study conducted by the Cedar Project Partnership of First Nations groups and researchers included 610 Indigenous people who smoked or inject-
ed drugs in Vancouver and Prince George and who were between the ages of 14 and 30. Forty people died during the study period between 2003 and 2014 and 65 per cent of them were women, according to the study published Monday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal. “The death rates among young Indigenous people who use drugs reported in this study are appalling and must be viewed as a public-health and human-rights issue,’’ the study states.
An additional 26 participants have died since the research was completed, 15 via overdoses. Illness — including hepatitis C and HIV — and suicide were the next leading causes of death. The ongoing Cedar Project is based at the B.C. Children’s Hospital Research Institute and has been examining links between historical traumas, such as residential schools, childhood sexual abuse and child welfare systems, on HIV and hepatitis C infection among young
Indigenous drug users. Researchers from the University of British Columbia, the University of Northern British Columbia, the Vancouver Native Health Society and the Canadian Aboriginal AIDS Network were among those involved in the study. “It is possible that some of the overdoses observed were, in fact, suicides,’’ the study states, adding previous findings by the Cedar Project indicate trauma affecting generations of Indigenous people may lead to “rejection of life itself.’’ Suicide prevention must include a holistic approach to mental well-being that incorporates Indigenous culture, including ceremony and traditional languages, the study states. “Indigenous leaders in Canada are concerned that their young people are dying prematurely, particularly
those involved in the child welfare system, those entrenched in substance use and those living with HIV or hepatitis C.’’ Researcher Dr. Martin Schechter, a professor in the school of population and public health at the University of British Columbia, said autonomy among First Nations communities to promote health within their own culture is a crucial need to protect young people. “Our research has also shown that people in the Cedar cohort who reported more contact with Indigenous culture by attending ceremonies or speaking the native language, those people were more resilient, had less risk than people who didn’t,’’ he said. The study shows women are using more drugs, perhaps as a form of selfmedication, to cope with childhood trauma,
Schechter said. “It seems like trauma, and historical trauma, is having more of an effect on the young women than the men,” he said. Karen Urbanoski, a scientist at the Centre for Addictions Research of British Columbia, said in a related commentary in the Canadian Medical Association Journal that the findings point to the need for tailored services and policies for Indigenous people, who have poorer health, on average, than their non-Indigenous counterparts. “First Nations, Métis and Inuit people in Canada also carry a disproportionate burden of the harms related to substance use,’’ she said, adding there is evidence people who identify as Indigenous are less likely to receive treatment for substance use and those who access it are likely to drop out.
In August, the First Nations Health Authority released data suggesting Indigenous people of all ages are five times more likely to overdose and three times more likely to die from overdose than others. Dr. Shannon McDonald, deputy chief medical officer of the health authority, said a significant number of youth in the study were specifically identified as having been in the child welfare system. “The rates of apprehension are very high among First Nations and Aboriginal people, so many of these people have never had the opportunity to be connected,’’ she said. McDonald said First Nations groups are working hard on community-led, community-designed programs, especially for youth who have been separated from families and communities for most of their lives.
Chretien denies tax haven report OTTAWA — Former prime minister Jean Chretien says reports linking him to a bank account in an offshore tax haven are false. Indeed, he says he’s never held a bank account outside Canada. Chretien’s name popped up in a massive leak of offshore financial records, dubbed the Paradise Papers. Among the leaked records is a register of investors in Madagascar Oil, which lists Chretien as having received 100,000 stock options. Chretien said Madagascar Oil was a client of
Heenan Blaikie, a now-defunct Canadian law firm. As a lawyer with the firm, Chretien said he did some work for Madagascar Oil but all fees were billed by and paid to the law firm itself. “I never received any share options and I never had a bank account outside Canada,’’ Chretien said in a statement. “Any news report that suggests I have or ever had or was associated in any way with any offshore account is false.’’ — Canadian Press

On one day — Nov. 3 — two Kamloops golf courses were sold
Sun Rivers goes to investor group Developer Ternier buys Tobiano outright KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Tobiano Golf Course has been sold to Kamloops developer Michael Ternier. Ternier, part-owner of Aberdeen Highlands Development Corporation — which is developing much of west Aberdeen — also owns 50 per cent of Tobiano’s real-estate development. While Ternier would not comment on what he paid for the course, he said all parties are satisfied with the price. “You have two happy sellers and a happy purchaser,” he said. “I am thrilled that I was able to seize a rare opportunity to acquire one of the most remarkable golf courses in North America.” “When the golf course was sold to [previous owners] John Preston and Henry Bereznicki, it provided me with the opportunity of a lifetime: to acquire the Tobiano real-estate development.
“Although I love golf, especially Tobiano, my expertise was in land servicing and development and, at that time, I did not feel ready to take on ownership of the golf course.” But earlier this year, Ternier decided to work on amalgamating the golf course and real-estate holdings. “Owning both makes it much easier to integrate many of the operations and the two will complement the long-term growth and success of each other,” said Ternier, who does not plan to change much at the award-winning 18-hole track other than minor upgrades to some tee boxes, the driving range and perhaps some work on the eighth hole. He said the locals rate will remain intact, as will tee time structure. “There’s not much anyone can do to make it better,” Ternier said.
KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Sun Rivers Golf Course will soon have a new name as the sale of the 18-hole track on Tk’emlups Indian Band land has been completed. Sun Rivers Limited Partnership has sold the golf course and Hoodoos restaurant to a group of investors, with the course to be known as the Big Horn Golf and Country Club. Big Horn is an investment group composed of Sun Rivers residents, golf members and local businesses, led by a seven-person board of directors. Memberships were being sold for $5,000 each, with the goal of raising $3 million to buy the golf course. Membership gives owners discounts on tee times and at Hoodoos restaurant, among other benefits. Big Horn spokesman Bill Amy told KTW in August that raising $3 million would leave the group debt-free. “Having an ownership group from the local community is a great vote of confidence in the community of Sun Rivers and the Kamloops region as a whole,” said Sun Rivers Limited Partnership CPO Rick Siemens. “The group’s expansion plans will increase the lifestyle options for those already living at Sun Rivers and provides just that many more reasons to visit and buy at Sun Rivers.” Amy said the new ownership group is planning to renovate Hoodoos restaurant and its banquet facilities and add a neighbourhood pub. Also planned is completion of a six-hole, par-3 practice course and the addition of pickleball courts and a children’s playground. The six-hole course is unusual in Canada, but is a growing trend in the United States, Amy said it is aimed at busy families, children and professionals in a hurry.

TODAY! EAT • SHOP • PLA Y • LIVE
Both Kamloops business improvement associations are on the hunt for new leaders. The Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association announced late Thursday that general manager Gay Pooler is stepping down and returning to the private sector as of February. A job posting for the position went live on the KCBIA website at the same time. Pooler said she plans to work as a consultant and will stay involved in community-building work. “It was a good time for myself and the organization,” she said. “The BIA’s in a good place. We’ve got a good board, good structures and we’re in between renewals. It’s a good time to make that change.” Pooler, who previously owned The Golden Buddha store on Victoria Street, served as the KCBIA’s first president in 2002
before becoming general manager in 2004. Pooler said she is pleased with the direction the downtown is headed, noting the success of the back alley art gallery mural program and its now year-round ambassador program. She also pointed to several major housing projects announced in the area, including a 136-unit development on St. Paul Street and a $25-million property purchase by Kelson Group that could add up to 500 housing units in the next decade. A new office building next to Hotel 540 is also in the early stages of development. “You’re seeing investor confidence that is telling you we’re doing the right thing downtown,” she said. Board president Mike O’Reilly said the transition to a new executive director has been in the works for six months. The board hopes to fill the role by January, to allow the new
director to work with Pooler for four to six weeks. O’Reilly said he attributes much of the new investment coming downtown to lobbying the KCBIA has done around the revitalization tax grant, which incentivizes development and exterior renovations in the core. “A lot of people have been saying, ‘Let’s get some fresh blood in there’ and we hear that, but the programs that Gay has developed — the CAP team or the revitalization tax exemption — those take years and years to build, and having someone in that role that long allows that to happen,” he said. Pooler is the second BIA director to leave her role this fall. Steven Puhallo, who headed the North Shore Business Improvement Association for four years, left the association this week to start his own business. The NSBIA hopes to have a new executive director installed by the new year.

Tobiano, designed by Canadian golf architect Thomas McBroom, has won a slew of awards since opening in 2008, including best new golf course in Canada and best public golf course in B.C. Ternier said the main priority for the golf course will be the opening of a new hotel, bringing on-site accommodation and stay and play packages to Tobiano. He said work on location,
branding and architecture is already underway. Ternier said future plans for Tobiano include a village centre, tennis courts, pickleball courts, exercise stations and additional walking paths, community gardens and a community amenity building featuring pools, hot tub and exercise rooms. The two men from whom Ternier bought the golf course, Preston and Bereznicki, purchased the 18-hole track out of receivership from the Business Development
Bank of Canada in 2013. No sale price was revealed then, though the course was listed for $5.5 million in 2012. The Tobiano real estate development and golf course went into receivership in 2011 when founder Mike Grenier, through his Pagebrook and Kamlands Holding, was facing a $26-million debt with BMO. In 2014, Ternier and partners Fred Fischer, Stan Moskwa, Enzo Lizzi and Tarn Ollek purchased the Tobiano real estate development out of receivership.
Sun Rivers sale to be finalized Dec. 18 From A13
The six-hole course will have three different tee boxes at each hole, in theory allowing 18 holes on the short course. The sale will be finalized on Dec. 18. In the meantime, Hoodoos Restaurant will remain open daily. This is the second time in two years a sale of the golf course has been attempted. Last fall, Amy’s Ranchero Enterprises signed
a letter of intent to purchase the golf course and Hoodoos from Sun Rivers Limited Partnership. At the time the potential sale was announced, Amy said the plan was to lower annual fees in a bid to double membership. Last summer, Sun Rivers’ membership was at about 200. The greater Sun Rivers development is owned by a group of investors led by Austrian Martin Zumtobel and governed by the Tk’emlups Indian Band. It is located on leasehold land, with a lease expiring in 2115.

TRU professor kickstarts global dialogue about tourism sustainability with conference JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Population growth and climate change will impact the sustainability of food and wine industries in Kamloops and around the world, according to a Thompson Rivers University professor. John Hull, an associate professor in the tourism management program, helped spearhead a new conference to address such issues and promote dialogue between academia and industry on a global scale. Wine and Culinary Tourism Futures, a four-day forum held in Kelowna last month, drew 75 participants from 12 countries, including Italy and New Zealand. “The whole purpose was to say, how do we deal with the future if we know there’s going to be more change?” Hull said. “More and more wildfires, more and more floods, like there were in the Okanagan.”
whole purpose was to say, how “doThe we deal with the future, if we know there’s going to be more change?”
— JOHN HULL, tourism management professor at TRU
Some local examples include Kamloops’ burgeoning wine industry. Hull said climate change has made the region a “better place to grow grapes than it used to be.” “There is a need to be able to understand and respond to that,” he said. Meanwhile, Kelowna is experiencing extreme population growth as one of the fastest-growing cities in the country. “There’s more and more people moving there, so it’s putting more and more pressure on the wineries and the farms,” Hull said. Hull presented at the conference, discussing the growth of B.C.’s craft beer market and social impacts on communities like Port Moody, which have seen a bump in real estate
Minimum wage views solicited Over the next six weeks, British Columbians can weigh in on the provincial government’s plan to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. The Fair Wages Commission is seeking input on the timing of wage increases for the general workforce, as well as looking at wage fairness for liquor servers, live-in camp leaders, home support workers, resident caretakers and certain farm workers. Until Dec. 7, the commission is providing two ways for people to participate. The commission will hold in-person consultations in eight communities around the province. Individuals, businesses and organizations can schedule a time to present to the commission. People are also invited to submit a brief or other written feedback by sending an email to FWC@gov.bc.ca. In-person consultations will be held in the following communities: • Nov. 16: Abbotsford; • Nov. 17: Nanaimo; • Nov. 21: Kelowna; • Nov. 23: Vancouver; • Nov. 28: Prince George; • Nov. 29: Victoria; • Nov. 30: Surrey; • Dec. 7: Cranbrook.
values in connection to a surge in craft breweries.
“There’s a lot of social interaction for all ages that’s happening
at these craft breweries that’s creating a lot of interest,” Hull said. Hull co-chaired the event alongside Donna Senese, an associate professor at UBC Okanagan. They are both members of the Sonnino Working Group, a research team
focused on food and wine. “From there, we decided to do a conference,” Hull said. The four-day event took about two years to organize. It received $25,000 each from the federal government and the B.C.
Wine institute, among other funding. The conference went well in its first year, Hull said, noting plans for another one in two years. For more information, go online to wineandculinarytourismfutures.ca/2017/.
Dementia linked to hearing loss Major study finds untreated hearing loss linked to dementia Although the reason for the link is as yet unclear, a recent Johns Hopkins and National Institute on Aging study shows that seniors with hearing loss are significantly more likely to develop dementia over time than those with normal hearing. Researchers say these findings “could lead to new ways to combat dementia, a condition that affects millions of people worldwide and carries heavy societal burdens.” Further, they suggest a common pathology may underlie the two conditions, or that the strain of “decoding sound” over the years puts undue strain on the brain leaving them more vulnerable to dementia. Other speculation includes the social isolation that often results from hearing loss as a factor that could exacerbate dementia and other cognitive disorders. “Whatever the cause,” the school reports, “their finding may offer a starting point for interventions — even as simple as hearing aids — that could delay or prevent dementia by improving patients’ hearing.”

The TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team won Canada West bronze in Vancouver on Saturday. “[I’m] very happy with the win,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov said. “To come away with a medal in our first time at the Final Four is massive for our program and our players. Couldn’t be happier for the guys. The way they responded today, it was a fantastic effort.” James Fraser and Anatoli Leveille had goals for TRU in a 2-0 victory over the Alberta Golden Bears in the bronze-medal tilt. Kamloops product Allan Connor was between the pipes for TRU, which fell 3-1 to the UBC Thunderbirds in semifinal play on Friday. UBC rallied from two goals down to beat Trinity Western of Langley 3-2 in the gold-medal game on Saturday to seal its place at the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship, which runs from Thursday to Sunday at Hillside Stadium.

BLUE GOES THROUGH
The frozen tundra at South Kamloops secondary provided a wonderful stage for a peewee football playoff game on Sunday. Rival Kamloops Community Football teams — the Blue Broncos and White Broncos — clashed in a Southern Interior Football Conference (SIFC) semifinal. Noe Jelks, pictured darting through a hole created by blockers, and the Blue Broncos prevailed 20-16. The Kelowna Lions will play host to the Blue Broncos in the SIFC championship game this weekend. The winner will advance to the nine-man football provincial championships, which will be held at Hillside Stadium on Nov. 18 and Nov. 19. The Blue Broncos are the only Kamloops team still alive in SIFC competition, as the atom and junior bantam Broncos were ousted in weekend semifinal play.

TRU WolfPack setter Anastasiya Muzyka looks for an assist in action against the Brandon Bobcats at the Tournament Capital Centre on the weekend.
After both teams started the Canada West season with a pair of wins, the TRU WolfPack men’s and women’s volleyball squads were swept by the Brandon Bobcats at the Tournament Capital Centre on the weekend. Brandon earned two straight-sets victories over TRU in men’s action, winning 3-0 on Friday and Saturday. “It looks like we are out here expecting a worst-case scenario and we are surprised when we make nice plays,” WolfPack men’s volleyball coach Pat Hennelly said. “Brandon is a quality team.” The Bobcats earned
a five-set win on Friday and a straight-sets victory on Saturday in women’s play. “We were just flat,” TRU women’s volleyball coach Chad Grimm said. “We never found any rhythm. We passed the ball really poorly.” Both Bobcats teams are 5-1. TRU’s men and women, both 2-2 on the campaign, will travel to play the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver this weekend. UBC’s women are 3-1, while the T-Birds men are 4-0. — with files from TRU sports information

Naomi Columbus of the Kamloops Long Blades set five personal-best times at the Classic Chill speed skating event on McArthur Island on the weekend.
Action hot at Classic Chill There were nearly 100 participants at the annual Classic Chill speed skating competition at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre on the weekend. The host Kamloops Long Blades iced 27 skaters who combined for 73 personal-best times. Naomi Columbus and Lienke Raath recorded personal bests in each of their five events. Evan Columbus and Kayleigh Roberts each skated to four personal bests, while Rebecca Thomas, Caleb Van der Merwe, Dawson Doern, Keidis Corrigan, Taien Chard, Meena Litt, Samantha Stadfeld, Jacob Beesley, Yael Van der Merwe and Hallie Sadegur each had three personal-best times. Isaiah Jessie Uribe, Martina Antifay, Yolaine Kampan, Cameron Thomas, Keaton Birkenhead, Patrick Gu, Jared Roberts, Laylah Sadegur, Lennox Taylor, Abigail Van der Merwe and Alya Chard each recorded two personal-best times. Anisha Litt and Leah Turner each skated to one personal-best time. Long Blades’ head coach Sandi
Vyse thanked Carol Dougan for co-ordinating the event. Next up for the Long Blades is the Edmonton Fall Classic next weekend.
Racers fare well
Eight Kamloops River City Racers were in action at the Classic Chill. John Hill, 10, won Division 4A and set three personal-best times. Summer Bogetti Smith set four personal bests and placed fourth, while Clare Riel had three personal bests and finished fifth in Division 5. Both skaters are 11. Sophia Pankratz, 12, skated to four personal bests and finished eighth overall in Division 3. Jason Hill, 6, Mason Pelton, 9, and Jessica Roberson, 6, combined for seven personal bests in Division 7 action, finishing fifth, sixth and seventh, respectively. Vern Johnson, 4, competed in Division 8 and raced to two new personal bests. He was the fastest four-year-old skater at the event. Next up for the RCR is the Salmon Arm Ice Breaker on Nov. 25.
Aidan Barfoot scored to give the Giants a 1-0 lead at 3:06 of the first period, accepting a rink-wide pass from Tyler Ho before beating Max Palaga, the 17-year-old goaltender from the Tournament Capital who started for the Blazers. Carson Denomie had failed to hit the net at the other end. The puck bounced off the end boards and set up nicely for the Giants’ rush that Barfoot finished with his first WHL goal. Brendan Semchuk, an 18-yearold forward from Kamloops, was left with a tap-in gift after a deft feed from top prospect Tyler Benson. He put Vancouver up 2-0 at 11:27. For more on Semchuk, turn to page A18. Benson showed off his NHLcaliber release in beating Palaga to make it 3-0 at 16:53 of the first frame, using a quick toe-drag to fire the puck through a Blazers’ screen. The marker had two Giants’ scratches gawking in the press box. Washington Capitals’ signee Garrett Pilon, right-winger on a line with centre Connor Zary and left-winger Jermaine Loewen, scored on an individual effort at 1:13 of the second period. The 19-year-old playmaker from Saskatoon used a nifty change of pace to round a D-man and then stopped on a dime to go short side to foil Giants’ netminder Todd Scott. Kamloops had momentum and headed to the power play looking for a second goal, but a Pilon giveaway led to Ty Ronning’s 14th goal of the season. “You just can’t give goals away,” Hay said of the untimely short-handed marker. Palaga was pulled after allowing four goals on 10 shots and replaced by 15-year-old goaltender Dylan Garand, who was called up to Kamloops after No. 1

goalie Dylan Ferguson, 19, joined the Vegas Golden Knights last Monday. “After practising a few times this week, I got the nerves out a little bit and knew I could handle it,” said Garand, who has been playing this season with Delta Hockey Academy against older competition in the midget prep Canadian Sport School Hockey League (CSSHL). “I was excited and had a smile on my face. Things went well.” They didn’t start too well. Garand handled the puck outside the trapezoid and took the Blazers off the power play with an ineligible player penalty, an infraction that doesn’t exist in the CSSHL. “As soon as I did that and looked at the ref, I knew right away I made a mistake,” Garand said. He atoned for the gaffe with a sprawling glove save on Ronning, a stop that expunged any remaining nerves. “I was getting into the game still,” Garand said. “I tracked the puck across and made that save and really got into it from there.” Luc Smith tallied for the home team at 19:34 of the second period, the type of timely goal before an intermission that has potential to spark a comeback. But instead of heading into the break down two goals, the Blazers fell asleep at the wheel and Ronning notched his 15th marker of the season at 19:53 to put the Giants up 5-2. Loewen, who has been the Blazers’ best player since returning from a head injury earlier this month, had a super-human third period, terrorizing defencemen with fearless forechecking and furious forays down the wing. He cashed in on a pretty feed from Nolan Kneen at 3:40 of the third period to cut Vancouver’s lead to two goals. The 6-foot-4 Jamaican-born

forward who grew up in Arborg, Man., took another pass from Kneen, cut to the middle of the ice and ripped a wrist shot past Scott at 10:52 to set up a frantic finish. “It’s just skating,” said Loewen, who has six goals and 10 points in eight games since returning from injury. “When I skate and move my feet, I’m a pretty dangerous guy. I just get on the forecheck and want to be the best I can be every day and I have really good teammates supporting me.” Loewen had two goals, including the game winner with 17 seconds remaining in the third period, in a 5-4 win over the Giants in Langley on Friday. Garand, who allowed one goal on 13 shots and made several impressive stops in relief of Palaga, was pulled and replaced by an extra attacker with about two minutes left in the third period, but Scott and the Giants fended off the final Blazers’ flurry. Scott, a 17-year-old backstop from Albertville, Minn., made 43 saves in victory and was named the game’s first star. Both Vancouver (6-8-1-2) and Kamloops (5-12) will be in action next on Nov. 10, with the Blazers playing host to Red Deer (8-91-0) and the Giants visiting the Kelowna Rockets (8-6-2-1).

Having survived the zombie apocalypse of last week, you are sending Auntie Lucinda a card to let her know you are sort of OK. You have a limited supply of hugs and kisses: two O’s and three X’s. You will send her at least two. If the order does not matter — XXO and OXX would be considered the same — from how many possible combinations do you have to choose?
