Hillside dome plan gets two bids

Marquette University in Milwaukee had this dome installed over a sports field in 2016, allowing its teams to practice through the winter. Yeadon, a company specializing in such structures, built the dome at an estimated cost of US$3.5 million. The dome has a 25-year lifespan.

The City of Kamloops has received two design proposals for an air-supported dome to cover Hillside Stadium in cold-weather months. Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell confirmed the city received and is evaluating two proposals for engineering the structure. A selection should be made this week. A request for proposals issued in late October asked for “consultants to investigate and provide a feasibility study for covering the existing Hillside Stadium playing field and track with a seasonal air-supported dome structure.” The city had originally announced it would sole source the dome consultation from Dialog Design Inc., which designed Hillside Stadium, calling it the only company in Canada with experience in dome structures over sports fields. But Crundwell said the city’s notice of intent was challenged, so it issued the request for proposals. The consultant will provide early design work to estimate the cost of the dome. The successful bidder must also figure out how to attach the dome to Hillside Stadium and connect it to the adjacent Tournament Capital Centre without disrupting the view from that building’s north-facing fitness areas. The city’s original notice also mentioned a

new storage building for the dome, modifications to bleachers, an air-lock connection to dressing rooms and a viewing window into the dome from the second level of the TCC. Crundwell could not provide details on the cost of either proposal, but said it’s likely city council will be asked to sign off on the winning bid — which is only required when costs exceeds $150,000. Under the initial agreement with Dialog, the city had a $140,000 budget for consulting, with costs shared with Thompson Rivers University. Once the bid is awarded, Crundwell said he expects it will take three to four months to design the dome.
If completed, the dome would cover the entire football field and track at Hillside during winter months. The city said the project would allow teams to practice year-round and allow the city to host more events at the stadium. In October, KTW spoke to Kamloops Broncos’ president Dino Bernardo, who said year-round access to a dome would help keep the team competitive. “Having an indoor facility to train in through the winter would be fantastic,” he said. “It would give us that much extra competitive edge against some of these teams. On the Coast, they’re practising all year round,” he said.

Mayor:pot plan has been bungled From A1
“The former federal government botched the whole issue of medical marijuana and the current federal government is botching the issues of Bill C-45,” Christian said, arguing the lack of available medical marijuana through federal channels has led to a flourishing grey market in B.C. and Kamloops. “Couple that with the indecision from the provincial government and this whole thing washes up on our shores,” he said. Farnworth said he would be relying on a submission from the Union of B.C. Municipalities (UBCM) to help guide his ministry on addressing local issues, such as a desire by some municipalities that want the ability to enact zoning requirements for marijuana retailers. The UBCM has already endorsed the decisions Farnworth announced in advance of the press conference, including setting the age limit of 19, which is also the legal minimum age in B.C. to buy tobacco and alcohol. While the province will implement a government-run wholesale distribution model based on the BCLDB, Farnworth would not comment on whether existing BCLDB buildings will be used. He noted the procedures and handling processes in place for distributing alcohol are different than they will be for marijuana, but added that the overall template for distribution followed by the BCLDB is what he expects will be implemented once marijuana becomes legal next summer. Farnworth said he has been encouraging the federal government to allow micro-production of marijuana in B.C. that could provide “different kinds of product” and would be a way to “meet unique situations in the province.” Farnworth said as his ministry has
SOLICITOR GENERAL MIKE FARNWORTH
moved forward, it has not tried to estimate the revenue that might flow into provincial coffers. He said there will be significant upfront costs to get a distribution system in place, as well as a need to add money to enforcement and education. Farnworth said he wants to ensure local governments are treated fairly. “They will be bearing the brunt of enforcement,” he said. No decision has been made on a retail price, he said, because discussions continue on revenue-sharing between the three levels of government. Farnworth said the tax level the federal government decides to implement is key because it can’t be so high that the black market continues to sell marijuana. In October, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau proposed a federal excise tax of $1 for each gram of marijuana on sales up to $10 and a 10 per cent tax on sales over $10. Tax revenues would be split 50/50 with the provinces. This week, media reports from Ottawa indicated the federal Liberals are willing to tweak the proposal following complaints from premiers. As for the existing licensed dispensaries in Vancouver and Victoria, Farnworth said the retail model will make it clear where they fit.

Pot purveyor: we help addicts, seniors DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Tanner Hawryluk hopes when the provincial government finally figures out how it will distribute marijuana, dispensaries like his will fit into the picture. The manager of Greenhouse Compassion Society on Lansdowne Street downtown said he thinks it makes sense for private businesses like his to remain as retail outlets. “Why close the stores that are already there?” he asked. “We’re not selling to underage people.” In fact, Hawryluk said, of the outlet’s several hundred clients, many are addicts turning to marijuana to avoid using opioids. Others, he said, are seniors

Hawryluk said he feels like the various government levels are picking what laws to create or enforce and sees the provincial government’s move to create a hybrid distribution
Society does not. It is waiting to see how legalizing marijuana rolls out next year and where dispensaries like it will fit in. As for the city’s discussion on increasing fines from $200 a day to a maximum of $10,000 a day for businesses operating without a licence, Hawryluk called that a cash grab and asked why city council would be considering such a move just months before the federal government will make the sale of marijuana legal. “I was born in Kamloops and I don’t have a criminal record — and now they want to turn me into a criminal,” he said. Hawryluk said any move by the city to increase the fines by 5,000 per cent per day would be “a step back, a giant leap backward.”
Public to have say on city dispensaries ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops city council will take a series of proposed bylaw measures aimed at marijuana dispensaries to the public later this month. At its Tuesday meeting, council voted 7-2 to hold a public hearing on its proposed dispensary regulations, which proponents argue are necessary to keep existing businesses from being grandfathered when pot becomes legal in Canada next summer. Councillors Arjun Singh and Denis Walsh were opposed to holding the public meeting. The public hearing will take place on Tuesday, Dec. 19, at 7 p.m. at a location to be determined. Proposed regulations include increasing fines for operating a businesses without a licence (the city will not license dispensaries while marijuana remains illegal) from a maximum of $200 to a maximum of $10,000. Fines can be charged on a per-day basis. Dispensaries would be given their own zoning class within city regulations. Director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski said without a specific category, the shops would be treated like other retail operations, such as shoe stores, once the products they sell become legal, limiting council’s ability
to enact additional restrictions. The city would also create a commercial landlord business licence, which would require landlords to ensure they are only renting to those with valid business licences. Singh said he is concerned about what attempting to shut down all the city’s dispensaries will mean for those who rely on marijuana for medical reasons — many of whom have been in touch with him since news of the proposed regulations broke. He asked if the city could instead consider offering dispensaries temporary-use permits that would expire before the federal government legalizes pot next summer. Kwiatkowski said the city’s legal team believes that would give city hall even less power to apply new regulations to the dispensaries after legalization, noting a similar program in Penticton was cancelled after six months. “I don’t see that there’s a way,” Kwiatkowski said, when asked if the city can allow the businesses to operate without giving up zoning power. “Vancouver got ahead of things and they put in the full regime of zoning. They’re allowing them, but they put in their full regime in advance.” Walsh believes attempting to shutter all of the city’s dispensaries in the next half year will create as many problems as it solves. “There’s eight dispensaries that most,

unless you’re dealing with those dispensaries, you don’t even know about them. . .” he said. “To put these things out of business and drive them underground, to me will just create more police problems.” Christian said he agrees most dispensaries aren’t causing problems, but added the city needs the power to create restrictions to avoid situations like those at a dispensary in Dufferin, Canna Clinic, which has been a subject of neighbourhood complaints. “The others seem to be operating on the down-low, but that one up there, the issue is proximity, odour and activity. There’s some incompatible land uses,” Christian said. Singh said if the proposed bylaw measures are eventually passed, Canna Clinic will likely have been a major driving factor. “Me reading between the lines is that we will enforce against Canna Clinic as a priority and then we’ll see how the other ones go,” he said. However, Singh said, he doubts the city can shut down all dispensaries, noting some purveyors, including Carl Anderson’s Canadian Safe Cannabis Services on the North Shore, have been in business for about eight years. Because the matter must still go to public hearing, councillors are required to keep an open mind on the recommendations. Those who voted to move to hearing said they want to hear from the public on the matter.

A Kamloops man accused of engaging police in multiple shootouts before holing up in his parents’ home for 17 hours in October has had his bail hearing delayed by a week. Shane Caron had been slated to apply for bail in Kamloops provincial court on Monday, but that hearing is now expected to take place next Monday.
The 35-year-old is facing a dozen charges — including four counts of attempted murder for allegedly opening fire on RCMP officers — stemming from the events of Oct. 27. On that morning, police have said, Caron is alleged to have assaulted his ex-girlfriend in a North Shore home before emerging from that house armed with a rifle and fleeing
in a pickup truck. Police followed and Caron is alleged to have opened fire on Mounties on four separate occasions before entering his parents’ home at the G&M Trailer Park on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve off Highway 5 North. He was arrested at 4 a.m. the following day after hours of negotiations with police.
Suspect in chase arrested Charges have been laid against a 29-year-old North Thompson man in connection with a highway chase last month that included the ramming of a police vehicle. According to Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie, the incident began when a police officer attempted to pull over a white SUV near Heffley Creek on Nov. 22. “The driver refused to stop and drove recklessly before driving into the passenger side of a police car,” she said.
“The vehicle then sped away.” The SUV was found abandoned the following day, Shelkie said, and a suspect was identified. Joshua Real Charles Foucault is facing charges of dangerous operation of a motor vehicle, flight from police, assaulting a police officer with a weapon and breach of probation. Shelkie said Foucault was arrested without incident in Barriere on Monday. He is slated to appear in Kamloops provincial court for a bail hearing next Tuesday.
Loaded shotgun seized Three men are behind bars after a traffic stop Monday afternoon in North Kamloops turned up a loaded shotgun, police say. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said a Mountie pulled over a vehicle in the Northills Shopping Centre parking lot at about 1:30 p.m. “There were three males and a female inside,” she said.
“One male was found to have an outstanding warrant and was arrested immediately. A loaded shotgun was found inside of the vehicle. Shelkie said the other two people in the vehicle were arrested without incident. Shelkie said the female was released with charges under the Motor Vehicle Act. The investigation is ongoing.
No arrests in Walmart threats More than three weeks after online threats shut down a Kamloops big-box retailer, no arrests have been made. Walmart on Hillside Drive was evacuated on Nov. 13 after a post appearing in a Kamloops-based Facebook group threatened shoppers of the store.
Within days, police obtained a search warrant and seized electronics from a Kamloops home. But, according to RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie, it’s too early to say what the computers have turned up. “We did a search warrant on the suspect’s residence
and computer equipment was seized,” she said. “That equipment is still with our computer section to extract the information. “This takes a while. “We don’t expect any news for a while.” The investigation is ongoing.

QUESTION NEEDS TO BE CLEAR
I
f the NDP and Greens hold true to their promise, B.C. voters will go to the polls to answer the question of whether they want to switch to some form of proportional representation. A simple question — even just yes or no — is not a bad thing. We’ve been in this position twice before and the proposition failed. But that wasn’t necessarily, as the B.C. Liberals would have you believe, because the people didn’t want to switch from first-past-thepost system. A solid majority of those voting in 2005 — 58 per cent — wanted to ditch first-past-the-post system. But the bar was set high for the referendums to pass and the B.C. Single Transferable Vote System seemed complex and confusing to many people. Once you understood it, BC-STV was a straightforward concept. But getting to that understanding required at least a couple of advanced math classes. The B.C. Liberals are also taking the position that proportional representation would cause a string of minority governments, essentially making it impossible to govern the province. Yes, there will be more minority governments, but if the parties and MLAs choose to work together rather than take the first chance to bring government down, legislation that supports the people of B.C. rather than special interest groups might stand a chance of getting passed. Good things can happen under minority governments; Medicare and the Canada Pension Plan being two examples. First-past-the-post voting does tend to ensure majority governments, but it has the fatal flaw of allowing, in many ridings, a candidate with less than 50 per cent of the vote — more people voting against the candidate than for — to take the riding. When it finally comes to a vote, the question isn’t really yes or no to proportional representation. It’s a question of whether we want to continue with a system that creates a government that represents a minority of British Columbians or move to one that represents the population fairly.

Let’s ask the questions
C
oun. Dieter Dudy says we shouldn’t question Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller when he asks for more officers. We shouldn’t wonder about his “ability to determine what kind of staffing he needs,” the councillor said at this week’s meeting, one that saw Mueller ask for about $525,000 next year, $360,000 in 2019, another $370,000 the year after and, in 2021, $380,000. Dudy’s comment came after his colleague, Donovan Cavers, tried to amend the motion — that eventually council passed — to move more slowly, adding four officers over that time period instead of the six members the money will be used to hire and put on the streets. It works out to about $175,000 for each Mountie. Cavers is our elected representative and with that job description comes a requirement to ask questions when someone comes to council and asks for another $1.6 million in the next four years. Instead, Dudy seemed dismayed others sitting around the horseshoe at city hall wanted to know why the money — cash from taxes we all pay — is needed. It would have been nice to see even one of them ask Mueller how big the local RCMP detachment is since the city budgeted for 121 officers this year, a figure Mueller referred to in his pitch.
DALE BASS
Street
LEVEL But the actual size of the detachment, according to city staff, grew this year to 124 members when a 2015 request to council for more police kicked into gear. One of the councillors should also have pushed harder to know how many Mounties are off on sick or other leave. For those who want to know the impact council’s decision to add six members to the 121 — or is it 124? — will mean to their taxes, it’s about $10 annually per average household assessed at $377,000. Cavers raised a good point when he pointed out the increase would have an impact on budget deliberations in future years when there may be other big demands on the city to pay for needed services. Yes, let’s acknowledge every decision council makes can impact future councils, but let’s also give Cavers credit for at least making the point. It’s good to see he’s thinking about future tax bills we will be receiving.
Dudy, in making his point that Mueller should not be questioned on the number of officers he needs to police the city, continued to say doing so is like asking Mueller how many seeds Dudy should use on his Westsyde-area farm. Well, yes, Mueller should ask if it is his job to make that inquiry, just as it is Dudy’s job to make an informed decision and not simply rubber-stamp requests that come to the council table. It would have been nice to see even one councillor, when told where much of the crime occurs, to note the areas Mueller described are essentially the core business districts on either side of the river. The top cop told council 20 per cent of calls on the South Shore happen within about five blocks around Crossroads Inn, which is operated by the ASK Wellness Centre, is a safeinjection site and is located downtown. He said 25 per cent of calls occur within about the same block-radius of the safe-injection site on the North Shore, which is located behind ASK Wellness’s offices in the Tranquille Market. Doesn’t it make sense there would be a lot of crime in locations that have plenty of businesses that deal with an abundance of cash every day and have goods that can be moved on a black market? Just asking — since none of our councillors did. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Editor: I recently experienced sexual violence in my workplace. I went through all the appropriate channels, talking to my supervisor, my manager and the owner of the business where I had been working. I tried to tell the people who were supposed to be looking out for my safety and well-being at work how I was being harassed and threatened by a male employee. I told them how he kept my cellphone for an entire shift and asked me if I had naked photos on my iPhone to show him. I told them how he blocked me from leaving work and demanded I go with him to the basement, alone. I told them how he threatened to find me at school, that he knew where all my classes were and that he owned guns. I told them how I had to wait 45 minutes in the bathroom after the business closed to make sure he left before I walked to my car in the dark. I sobbed in front of management and told them how scared I had been to come forward and how I felt sick coming into work every day. What my manager had to say will haunt me for a very long time. The answer was,“I knew this would happen.” The manager knew he had previously been inappropriate with staff and that previous employees quit because of this man’s unwanted sexual advances. In addition, the manager said I would need to find coverage for my shifts if I didn’t feel safe working alongside him. Not a single employee would take any of those shifts. They even went so far as to say they would never work with him. I was then forced to quit my job. How dare they put me in danger. Management knew of this man’s behaviour and still let me work with him, alone, until 11 p.m. I simply wanted a job to help pay my way through school. Now I can barely attend my classes without feeling sick. My days are filled with fear and constant panic. I can’t stay late at the library for fear of walking to my car alone. I can’t sleep because I’m not sure if tomorrow will be the day he makes good on his threat to find me.
The provincial government must make a decision on Ajax by Jan. 3. What will its decision be?

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: CITY OF KAMLOOPS HAS TWO DESIGN PROPOSALS FOR HILLSIDE STADIUM DOME:
I am now unemployed, struggling to get through this semester and trying desperately to make sure this man is held accountable and no other young woman is put in my position. I have tried talking to the owner of the business and have begged them to do something about this man. I told the owner how I went to the police, who were investigating my complaint as criminal harassment. I told the owner how my sexual violence officer at Thompson Rivers University has now become involved to keep me safe on campus. The owner’s response was that this was a “three strikes and you’re out” situation. I was speechless — to think more women need to experience sexual violence while the owner waits for them to come forward. Despite my manager saying how so many people had come forward about this employee, the owner claims to have never been told about his sexual harassment. This situation is the perfect example of why women do not report sexual violence. Not a single woman’s complaint before mine has been properly documented. I consider myself to be a very strong and vocal woman, capable of advocating for myself. I cannot imagine the trauma of the women who have stayed silent due to their fear of this man and the lack of support from management that is there to protect us. This is gross negligence on part of the owner and I am devastated because I know I will not be the last person to be harmed by this employee. I feel responsible to future female employees for ensuring none of them experience the sexual
violence I have faced. Sexual violence in the workplace is all too common and we need to keep shedding light on this issue until women everywhere feel confident and safe in coming forward. How can we expect women to come forward when the people there to keep us safe ignore us and ignore their own policies on harassment and bullying? No woman should ever feel unsafe in her workplace, her campus, her community or her home. I wish every day this had never happened to me, but what I want more is for this to never happen to another girl in Kamloops. In light of recent high-profile sexual violence disclosures and social-media campaigns like #metoo, I want nothing more than for some shred of good to come from what is happening to me. Maybe if I share my story, more women will feel empowered to get themselves out of unsafe situations and start their healing. I have found the following agencies to be helpful: TRU sexualized violence prevention officer (250-828-5023), Crisis Line (250-320-6789, 24 hours) and Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre (250-320-1283).

Council agrees to hire nine Mounties ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops will fund nine more RCMP officers between 2018 and 2021 after hearing from the city’s top Mountie that members of the detachment are being overworked in the face of drug crime and social issues. The nine officers include three positions council was planning on funding in 2018, plus six more from 2019 to 2021. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller told council he wants
the city’s detachment brought to a strength of 130 officers over the next several years, up from the 121 positions the city paid for in 2017. The move will cost taxpayers $525,000 in 2018 (about $10 per average household assessed at $377,000), $360,000 in 2019, $370,000 in 2020 and $380,000 in 2021. “There are a lot of low-level drug dealers vying to get control and establish the drug trade in the community,” Mueller told council, which he attributed
to an existing power vacuum in the city. The vacuum was created when Konaam Shirzad, co-founder of the Red Scorpions gang, was shot and killed outside his Guerin Creek home on Sept. 21. Police have said Shirzad had several people working below him in the city’s drugselling business. Mueller said disrupting new criminal groups in the city requires more resources. He said police are also seeing an increase in calls about vagrancy, loitering and public
intoxication. In response to complaints from businesses on the North Shore, Mueller said police assigned more officers and ran additional foot patrols in the area through the summer, using overtime to cover the staffing needs. “It worked, but it’s not sustainable,” he told council, noting the city will spend $1.5 million on officer overtime before the year is out. He said the detachment has had to scale back on school officers and traffic coverage. Two councillors
questioned whether the city will need six officers by the time it has finished increasing its funding, with Coun. Arjun Singh inquiring whether the city could take back its request if conditions improve (it can) and calling recent crime “an aberration.” Coun. Donovan Cavers suggested council move more slowly on adding officers, suggesting the city hire four between 2019 and 2021 instead of six. “This has a massive tax impact and, after seeing all these statistics, it’s easy to
make a decision like this out of fear, but I think it’s pretty hasty to do so,” Cavers said, adding future councillors would likely have difficulty scaling back the size of the force if the tax demand is too heavy in future years. Cavers’ amendment failed to pass, with Coun. Dieter Dudy arguing council shouldn’t be debating the police on detachment needs. “I question why we would question Supt. Mueller’s ability to determine what kind of staffing he needs,” he
said. “It would be like asking him to decide how many seeds I need on my farm.” Mayor Ken Christian said he has been hearing from members of the public who are frustrated by the long response times from police to lower-priority calls. “They’re unable to, in some instances, cover the watch, and the watch to me is the fundamental part of policing in our city,” he said. The officer increase request passed unanimously.

The head of Kamloops’ downtown business association wants to know why there isn’t a homeless shelter on the North Shore. Gay Pooler, executive director of the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) appeared before city council on Tuesday to object to what she called a lack of consultation as services for homeless and addicted residents increase downtown. “In addition to Emerald Centre, the mission [New Life Community Kamloops, formerly known as the New Life Mission], the CMHA Clubhouse, supervised-consumption site and overdose-prevention services, we now have the Out of the Cold Shelter at St. Paul’s Cathedral and the cold-weather shelter at Stuart Wood housing up to 70 people each night — and soon a storage facility for homeless at First and Lansdowne,” Pooler said, arguing the concentration of services in the area is having “detrimental” effects on local business. Pooler said when patrons leave the former Stuart Wood elementary building at Third Avenue and St. Paul Street, businesses notice an increase in vandalism, break and enters and people on the street and in

private parking areas. “The influx is felt immediately in the downtown area,” she said. Pooler said the KCBIA wants to be consulted on future services downtown, wants more management through police and bylaw officers and wants to know why similar cold-weather facilities aren’t available north of the river. “There are people coming over from the North Shore to access the shelter downtown,” she said. Mayor Ken Christian said the city will do better on consulting with business
improvement associations. He said the Stuart Wood shelter is exceeding the fire code, which allows for up to 50 people to sleep in the former elementary school’s gym. “They are anxiously looking for additional space to house this unexpected increase in the homeless population,” he said, though what side of the river it would be on has not been determined.

Moonlighting as firefighters MOUNTIES DOUSE DOWNTOWN BLAZE BEFORE IT CAN SPREAD Kamloops Mounties managed to douse a fire before it could spread at a downtown assistedliving residence. Sgt. Sascha Fesenko said an officer on patrol at 40 minutes past midnight on Wednesday saw a glow coming from the alley behind Bedford Manor at 529 Seymour St. Driving closer, the officer noticed the rear exterior of the building was on fire.
The Mountie and other officers who arrived to help used fire extinguishers in their cruisers to douse the flames. Fesenko said Kamloops firefighters also arrived to ensure the fire had been extinguished and to vent smoke from inside the building. A number of residents were evacuated for a short period of time as a precaution. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Witnesses to swerving truck sought Kamloops Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding the driver of a semi-truck who was driving recklessly on Westsyde Road on Tuesday morning. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said two teenaged girls were walking on
Westsyde Road near Serle Road at 10 a.m. when a semi-truck swerved into Serle Road and hopped onto the curb before continuing south on Westsyde Road. To avoid being hit by the truck, one of the girls pushed
her friend out of the way, causing her to fall, hit her head and break her finger. Police are asking anyone who witnessed this incident or who may have seen the semi to call the detachment at 250-8283000.
Windows broken in vandalism spree Kamloops police are looking for the suspect who broke the windows of three businesses downtown early Wednesday morning. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said front
windows of PDK Cafe, Hello Toast and Expedia Travel, all located in the 400-block of Victoria Street, were broken at about 3:30 a.m. Those breaking the windows did not gain access to the
businesses on the block. Anybody with information on the vandalism spree is asked to contact Kamloops RCMP at 250828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Counter Attack begins this week Police are warning Kamloops drivers to plan ahead if they plan to imbibe while out this holiday season. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said local Mounties this week started their annual holiday Counter Attack campaign aimed at taking impaired drivers off local streets. “It doesn’t take much alcohol or many drugs to impair your driving,” she said. “Just because you’ve only had a couple of drinks doesn’t mean you’re OK to drive.” Shelkie said extra Mounties
will be on Kamloops streets for the next month enforcing impaired-driving laws.
“The consequences of impaired driving are massive,” she said. “You’re risking your life and the lives of others. You can be charged criminally and the ripple effect on you, your family and friends can be huge.” Shelkie urged drivers to have a plan in place before going out, whether it’s to a holiday party or a friend’s house. “There’s no excuse to drink and drive,” she said. “If you plan to drink, leave your car at home or have a plan.”

Alberta researchers unearth feathered dinosaur part duck, penguin and swan EDMONTON — It had feathers and looked as if it were part penguin, part duck and part swan. It was between the size of a chicken and a turkey and ate the same sorts of things in the same sorts of places as a heron. But it was a dinosaur. “This is kind of a bizarre one,’’ said University of Alberta paleontologist Philip Currie, who introduced his new feathered friend Wednesday in the journal Nature. Halszkaraptor escuilliei — Halzie for short — is a member of the same dinosaur family as the famous raptors from Jurassic Park, but wouldn’t have been chasing any human-sized prey through the wetlands and swamps of the late Cretaceous era. “This guy is a lot smaller and a lot more birdlike,’’ said Currie. But it’s Halzie’s anatomy, not its movie possibilities, that make it so interesting. Like all members of the dinosaur raptor family, Halzie stood upright on its hind legs with a foot featuring a long, elevated claw, but leaned forward like a short-tailed bird. Its neck was huge — about
Halszkaraptor was discovered recently by a University of Alberta researcher. It is believed to have lived in wetlands and swamps in the late Cretaceous era.
half of its total length. “It would be a perfect neck for an animal that was wading in the water and, if something went by, it would strike with its sharp little beak,’’ Currie said. Halzie’s short little arms seemed to be adapted to swimming, with flat, thin-walled bones and hands with an elongated outside finger, much like those seen in the feet of other aquatic dinosaurs. “It sure looks like it’s a swim-
ming appendage of some kind,’’ said Currie. “It’s certainly doing something different. “We have other dinosaurs that are adapted to living in the water, but they tend to look more like crocodiles.’’ Halszkaraptor originally hails from a site in Mongolia that Currie and his colleagues had been excavating for years, but was found in a European warehouse awaiting retail shipment.
Bank of Canada holds interest rate, signals hike likely on horizon THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada stuck with its trend-setting interest rate Wednesday — but it offered fresh, yet cautious, warnings to Canadians that increases are likely on the way. The central bank has now left the rate locked at one per cent for two straight policy announcements after the strengthening economy prompted it to raise it twice in the summer. In announcing its latest decision, the bank pointed to several recent positives that could support higher rates in the coming months. They included encouraging job and wage growth, sturdy business investment and the resilience of consumer spending despite higher borrowing costs and Canadians’ heavy debt loads. On top of that, there’s increasing evidence in the eco-
nomic data that the benefits from government infrastructure investments have begun to work their way through the economy, the bank said. But, on the other hand, the bank noted exports had slipped more than expected in recent months after a powerful start to the year, although it continues to predict trade growth to pick up due to rising foreign demand. It also said the international outlook continues to face considerable uncertainty mostly because of geopolitical- and trade-related factors. “While higher interest rates will likely be required over time, [the bank’s] governing council will continue to be cautious,’’ the bank said in a statement Wednesday that accompanied its decision. It will be “guided by incoming data in assessing the economy’s sensitivity to interest rates, the evolution of economic
capacity and the dynamics of both wage growth and inflation.’’ The bank said inflation, a key factor in its rate decisions, has been slightly higher than anticipated and could stay that way in the short term because of temporary factors like stronger gasoline prices. Core inflation, which measures underlying inflation by omitting volatile items like gas, has continued to inch upwards. Following Wednesday’s announcement, some economists said they expected governor Stephen Poloz to wait until spring before his next rate hike. The next scheduled policy meeting it set for next month. “The [Bank of Canada] appears very patient at this juncture, with little appetite to move in January despite the near-record low jobless rate,’’ BMO chief economist Doug Porter wrote in a research note to clients.

World at ‘pivot point,’ needs to embrace openness, Trudeau says THE CANADIAN PRESS
GUANGZHOU, China — The world is at a “pivot point’’ and will fail unless countries embrace free trade and elevate their citizens who have been left behind by globalization, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wednesday. Trudeau delivered that dire, anti-protectionist message to high-powered business audience at a major international conference in this bustling southern Chinese city of Guangzhou. Trudeau came to the Fortune Global Forum, a Davos-style gathering of the world’s business elite, to sell Canada as good place for foreign investment, but he went off script and delivered a stern warning about the dangers of allowing protectionism and inequality to flourish. “We are at a pivot point in the world right now, where we decide whether we work together in an open and confident way and succeed or whether we all falter separately and isolated,’’ he said. “As that anxiety spreads, people start to turn inwards. They start to close off. They start to get fearful. If that continues to happen, make no mistake about it, we will all lose.’’ Trudeau didn’t mention the Trump administration in Washington, but he’s already spoken out in China on the need to save the North American Free Trade Agreement from demise. In his speech, he singled out China as kindred economic spirit, saying it is “well aligned’’ with Canada to fight for liberalized trade. “In this new era, we refuse to get left behind; instead we have chosen to lead. “We know there are significant disruptions around the world, in our workplaces, within our borders in our countries.’’ Canada and China are still working toward starting formal free talks, a task
that has been given to International Trade Minister FrancoisPhilippe Champagne,
who stayed behind in Beijing, where Trudeau held meetings earlier in the week.

U.S. move on Jerusalem highlights Arab divisions across Middle East President Trump recognizes the city as Israeli capital, launching protests ZEINA KARAM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BEIRUT — Muslims across the Middle East warned Wednesday of disastrous consequences after President Donald Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital but, in a region more divided than ever, many asked what leaders can do beyond the vehement rhetoric. Arab powerhouses are mired in their own internal troubles, their populations tired of wars, and the days when Arab leaders could challenge the United States in a meaningful way are long gone. Beyond the eruption of protests and potential explosion of violence, there is little the Arab world can do to chal-
Canadians urged be cautious in Middle East OTTAWA — Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland added her voice to a chorus of global leaders appealing for calm in the Middle East on Wednesday in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration’s move to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
lenge Trump’s move, unanimously decried by leaders. Jerusalem, a cherished and combustible landmark, is one of the very few unifying issues in an Arab world
Canadians in the region were being urged to exercise caution ahead of three days of planned protests against the U.S. announcement, which included the start of a plan to relocate the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv, upending decades of the U.S. policy in the region.
plagued by wars and sectarianism. But even the prospect of Trump recognizing it as Israel’s capital became a reason for bickering between the Middle East’s Sunni and Shiite
powerhouses, Saudi Arabia and Iran, who are engaged in a catastrophic proxy war for supremacy in the region. “If half the funds spent by some rulers in the region to encourage terrorism, extremism, sectarianism and incitement against neighbours was spent on liberating Palestine, we wouldn’t be facing today this American egotism,’’ Iran’s Foreign Minister Javad Zarif said in a tweet Wednesday, clearly directed at Saudi Arabia. Criticism of Trump’s move poured in from Cairo to Tehran to Ankara to war-ravaged Syria, reflecting the anxiety over Trump’s announcement, which upends decades of U.S. policy and could ignite violent protests.
Hundreds flee wildfires in Los Angeles area THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
VENTURA, Calif. — For a brief time, Bob Pazen thought he had been one of the lucky
ones, a man whose house had somehow escaped the ferocious wind-driven fires that destroyed at least 150 other structures in his
hillside neighbourhood overlooking this picturesque beachfront town. Pazen, his wife, son and their dog had fled just ahead of the raging
flames Monday night and, when he returned Tuesday morning he was delighted to see their home still standing.

But after leaving to move the cars he left behind the night before, Pazen returned later Tuesday to discover the blaze had doubled back. “The house was totally engulfed in flames,’’ he said. His story was just one of many illustrating the unpredictability of the flames that had hop-scotched downhill toward the Pacific Ocean on Monday and Tuesday with devastating effect, destroying homes seemingly at random while leaving others untouched. Pazen had been sleeping when his son awakened him, shouting, “Hey, get out of bed and let’s go.’’ John Terrones was also asleep when he heard a noise outside about the same time his phone began to ring. It was his son calling to warn him a wildfire was heading right toward him. “I went outside and looked, and I saw the flames coming over the hill,’’ he said. He and his wife loaded their five dogs, some cash, jewelry and a few other items into their car and fled.
Suspect held in plot to assasinate British PM May THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON — A man has been ordered World News held Wednesday after being accused in a plot to assassinate Prime Minister Theresa May. Naa’imur Zakariyah Rahman, 20, has been remanded in custody at Westminster Magistrates’ Court. The plan allegedly involved planting a bomb near the entrance of Downing Street and then continuing the attack with a knife and suicide vest in a bid to kill the U.K. leader in the ensuing chaos. He is charged with preparing acts of terrorism and appeared alongside another man, Mohammed Aqib Imran, who is accused of trying to join the Islamic State group but wasn’t charged in connection with the assassination plot. Rahman is also accused of assisting Imran in terror planning. The pair was arrested in London and Birmingham on Nov. 28 by the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command. Britain’s media had reported earlier that two men were involved in the plot to kill May.

U.S. flies show of force near N. Korea SEOUL — The United States flew a B-1B supersonic bomber over South Korea on Wednesday as part of a massive combined aerial exercise involving hundreds of warplanes, a clear warning after North Korea last week tested its biggest and most powerful missile yet. South Korea’s Joint Chiefs of Staff said the Guam-based bomber simulated land strikes at a military field near South Korea’s eastern coast during a drill with U.S. and South Korean fighter jets. “Through the drill, the South Korean and U.S. air forces displayed the allies’ strong intent and ability to punish North Korea when threatened by nuclear weapons and missiles,’’ the military said in a statement. B-1Bs flyovers have become an increasingly familiar show of force to North Korea, which after three intercontinental ballistic missile tests has clearly moved closer toward building a nuclear arsenal that could viably target the U.S. mainland. The five-day drills that began Monday involve more than 200 aircraft, including six U.S. F-22 and 18 F-35 stealth fighters. The North responded to the display, calling the U.S. “imperialist war mongers.”
Borderless African continent on table KAMPALA, Uganda — For years, African leaders have toyed with the idea of free movement by citizens across the continent, even raising the possibility of a single African passport. Now some countries, most recently Kenya, are taking bold steps to encourage borderless travel that could spur trade and economic growth in a region in desperate need of both. Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta announced during his inauguration last week that the East African commercial hub will now give visas on arrival to all Africans. That follows similar measures by nations including Benin and Rwanda. The African Union continental body has cheered such steps, calling it the direction the 54-nation continent needs to take. It says trade among African countries is at just 16 per cent, while trade among European Union states is at 70 per cent.

t’s a moment filled with smiles, tears — and snacks. “On behalf of the transplant association, here’s a tin of popcorn,” Abby Farnsworth said, handing the generous portion to operating room staff at Royal Inland Hospital. A gathering in the hospital lobby on Tuesday afternoon wasn’t really about the food but, rather, the opportunity to connect transplant recipients with health-care workers. Farnsworth, a 16-year-old NorKam secondary student, required a heart transplant at age four because of a birth defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. According to the Mayo Clinic, the rare condition sees
the left side of the heart critically underdeveloped, forcing the right side to pump blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. Farnsworth had open-heart surgery three times before requiring a transplant. She moved to Toronto for the surgery and returned to Kamloops nine months later with her new heart. Today, people are surprised when they learn she had a transplant — the healthy teenager enjoys dancing and parkour and will participate in the 2018 Canadian Transplant Games in Vancouver. “They’re just astonished,” she said. “They don’t really think about that type of stuff.” RIH staff don’t often meet people like Farnsworth. While the hospital plays an important role in harvesting

organs from deceased donors — staff are on call for the time-sensitive scenarios — transplant surgeries to save lives are conducted elsewhere. The organs are shipped off to hospitals in places like Vancouver, Edmonton or Toronto. RIH staff don’t know who the organs are going to — they only know who they came from. “We’re seeing the other side, which we never see,” said operating room interim manager, Donna Linekar. “From our end, we see the sadness from the families here on this end, but we don’t see the happiness on the other end. It’s great to see this.” It makes the annual Operation Popcorn meet-up, organized by the BC Transplant Association meaningful for both recipients and hospital staff around the province. At RIH, it
brought another transplant recipient, 49-year-old Tony Maidment, to tears after waiting for years for his new liver. The marathon runner and mechanic is already looking ahead to running in the Kamloops Marathon next summer, six months after his transplant. “To say thank you to these people is just the bare minimum,” he said. According to B.C. Transplant, 448 transplants were conducted in the province this year. More than 640 people are still on a waitlist, with the majority waiting for kidneys. One donor can save up to eight lives. “If you haven’t signed up for organ donation, do it because it’s very important,” Farnsworth said. “You’re more likely to need a transplant than to actually give an organ away.” To register your decision, go online to register.transplant.bc.ca/.

Two lovely ladies stopped me from getting up and held my hands until help arrived. Thank you very much. This is why I like living in Kamloops — the caring community spirit.

LAND ROVER RANGE ROVER VELAR STELLAR IN 2018
Apparently, there’s room in the lineup for one more piece of eye candy MALCOLM GUNN WHEELBASEMEDIA wheelbasemedia.com
N
ot that many years ago, Land Rover utility vehicles were heavy, expensive and hard on fuel. But changing times and attitudes toward utility vehicles are the reasons why the new Range Rover Velar even exists. For Jaguar Land Rover, the die was cast a few years back when the Range Rover Evoque arrived. The sleek and sexy shape introduced a whole new group of younger buyers to the brand and eventually spawned a convertible model. And starting in the $50,000 range, it didn’t hurt that the Evoque was also the least expensive Range Rover you could buy. The five-passenger Velar — which means “veiled” in Latin — is positioned a notch or two above the Evoque and, at $62,000 including destination charges, it’s priced slightly below the $63,900 Land Rover Discovery. The Velar’s kinship with the Evoque vehicle is unmistakable. The low-slung roofline, in particular, is taken straight from the Evoque’s design playbook, which means a fair bit of cabin and stowage space have been sacrificed to the design gods. The Velar is more fashion statement than practical transport. Compared to the Evoque, the Velar is considerably larger, so it fits into the midsize-wagon bracket. It obviously boasts greater cargo capacity, whether the folding 40:20:40 rear seat is in place or folded down (it does not fold completely flat). Both vehicles are nearly equal in width and height, which isn’t surprising given the their design similarities. The Velar’s equally fashionable interior is mostly clean and uncluttered since it’s dominated by touchscreens instead of dials and switches. The screen on the dash can be tilted up to 30

degrees and operates the communications and infotainment systems as well as the ambient lighting. A larger tablet-shaped screen in the centre console controls heating, ventilation and air conditioning. Beneath the skin, the Velar’s aluminum architecture is based on that of the Jaguar F-Pace wagon, but beefed up for more rigorous duty. An available air suspension is claimed to provide greater ride comfort and at its tallest setting provides nearly 25 centimetres of ground clearance, which is about four centimetres more than the standard coil-spring setup provides. The base Velar is equipped with a 2.0litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel rated at 180 horsepower and 317 pound-feet. It’s also the one to pick for best fuel economy: 9.2
l/100 km in the city and 7.8 on the highway (the V-6 engine is rated at 13.0/10.0). With it, the Velar can accelerate to 100 km-h from rest in 8.9 seconds, according to Land Rover. The top performer is a supercharged 3.0-litre V-6 that makes 380 horsepower and 336 pound-feet. With this engine, a zero-to-100 km-h time of 5.7 seconds is claimed, which is 3.2 seconds quicker than the 2.0. An eight-speed automatic transmission handles the shifting for all engines. All-wheel-drive is standard for both and includes torque vectoring, which lightly applies the inside rear brake in a turn to help the vehicle rotate. Other standard content includes navi-
gation, gesture-activated power liftgate, automatic-leveling headlights, rear-parking assist and a head-up display that projects information onto the windshield. The top trim is the loaded-to-the-gills First Edition that will set you back $95,000. Along with the supercharged V-6, you get 20-way power-controlled front seats with perforated-leather coverings, as well as a panoramic sunroof and a 1,600-watt Meridian-brand audio package. There’s also a full suite of collision-mitigating safety technology. Whatever model or equipment level you choose, the Velar will have you riding in style when heading to the mall or heading out on the town. And, if you dare to play dirty, heading well past where the pavement ends. What you should know: 2018 Land Rover Range Rover Velar. Type: Four-door, all-wheel-drive sport utility vehicle. Engines (h.p.): 2.0-litre DOHC I-4 turbodiesel (180)3.0-litre DOHC V-6, supercharged (380). Transmission: Eight-speed automatic. Market position: It’s hard to believe that there’s enough room in the Land Rover lineup to fit in another utility vehicle without significant price/product differentiation. The Velar joins the Evoque, the Discovery and the Discovery Sport. Points: Upscale (and scaled-up) version of the slinky Evoque. First-rate interior appointments are also high tech in style and content. Base four-cylinder turbodiesel engine appears strong enough, but the supercharged V-6 steals the show. Significant price walk from base to premium trim levels is necessary if you want to get the latest safety tech. Active safety: Blind-spot warning with cross-traffic backup alert (opt.); active cruise control (opt.); emergency braking (opt.); drowsy driver alert (optional). L/100 km (city/hwy) 9.2/7.8 (2.0); base price (incl. destination) $62,000.

Trade deadline full of intrigue for Blazers MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
F
ascinating and complex are the decisions that will be made on Mark Recchi Way in the next month. The short- and long-term success of the Kamloops Blazers will be impacted by them. When majority owner Tom Gaglardi took the podium last month to announce his Blazers will bid on the 2020 Memorial Cup, the Jan. 10 WHL trade deadline, always a critical date on the calendar, took on even more importance. “We’ve got some older assets now,” Gaglardi told KTW. “This season hasn’t started the way we wanted it to. We’ll watch it, manage it. “If you’re preparing for a Memorial Cup, you might manage your hockey club a little differently.” Kamloops has come a long way since Gaglardi spoke, to 13-15 from 5-12. Still, older players with value to contenders this season — 19- and 20-year-old Blazers who won’t be around in 2020 — know the bid increases the likeliness of them finishing their WHL careers somewhere other than Kamloops. “Hopefully, I’m staying here, but if that’s what they think is best for the organization, if they move the older guys on, they’ve done a lot for us and we’ve just tried to do everything we can for the organization,” said Joe Gatenby, a 20-year-old Blazers’ defenceman. “In the end, what management decides to do at the deadline isn’t really up to us. All you can really control is trying to win games and, hopefully, we can be a playoff team this year.” Most WHL followers, even those inside the Blazers’ office (if they’re being honest), are surprised at how quickly the tide has turned after an 0-9 start. “At that point in time [when the Blazers were 0-9], as it was dragging along, we were considering, ‘Do you have to make some moves here to restart your group?’” Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor said. “But since they’ve found their standing, more so we’re kind of just seeing how we can continue to develop as we are and then see what comes in front of us.” Along with Kamloops, the Victoria Royals will bid on the national junior hockey championship tournament and it seems the Kelowna Rockets are marshalling to throw their hat in the ring. There has also been faint rumblings out of Everett. Forecasted competitiveness of bidding teams will be taken into account when a decision is made

Icing a squad in the second half of 2017-2018 that has little hope of a lengthy post-season run and receiving nothing in return for older assets would not be ideal. It would also not be wise for Kamloops to part ways with top talent unless it is being well compensated. “Obviously, you hear stuff and you know all that may be happening,” said 19-year-old forward Garrett Pilon, the Blazers’ leading scorer. “It’s nothing against our team or anything, but it’s where they’re at in the organization and the way they want to move forward with the Memorial Cup in 2020. “Right now, I’m a Kamloops Blazer and I want to do the best for this team.” How strongly do the Blazers feel about the current crop of younger players, those eligible to be here in 2020? The next month will provide insight. “We’re in no rush,” MacGregor said. “We still have a massive road trip that’s coming up that we have to go through and then, obviously, some key games through that period right after Christmas. “We’ll find our spot where we’re at and then we’ll make a determination of what moves need to go from there.” See BLAZERS, A24

Cierra Fisher has skipped three rinks at the junior provincial curling championships, her best result a fifthplace finish in 2016. The 19-year-old Kamloops Curling Centre product is going back to the big dance this year — and she likes her partners. “I think this group is going to give us a good shot,” said Fisher, a firstyear Thompson Rivers University student. Fisher will throw last on a team that features lead Cailin Cooke, second Jordan Henson, third Dezaray Hawes and fifth Erin Ross. The Fisher rink qualified for the Boston Pizza BC Junior Curling Championships, which will run from Dec. 18 to Dec. 23 in Langley, by finishing third in the B.C. Junior Curling Tour points standings. “We started playing together this year,” Fisher said. “I used to play against them. It was kind of like, you look around and see who you can build a team with.” The rink is a hodgepodge of talent from across the province: Fisher and Hawes, who is from the Port Moody area, are friends. Cooke, from Chilliwack, played with Fisher last year. Fisher reached out to Prince George products Henson and Ross to
see if they wanted to join the team for the 2017-2018 season. Hawes also plays second for the Kamloops-based Brown rink, which will compete at the Scotties BC Women’s Curling Championship in January in Victoria. Fisher’s older sister, Samantha, throws lead rocks for the Brown rink, which won three B.C. junior titles and one national junior championship. “I definitely learned a lot from them about what team means and what you need on a team,” Fisher said when asked about her older sister’s accomplishments. Fisher won the Flora Martin Female Sportsmanship Award at the 2013 provincial championship. This year, she is aiming to add team hardware to the collection. “We work well together,” Fisher said.
The competition
An eight-team round-robin will be followed by a four-team Page playoff at provincials. Joining the Fisher rink will be Daniels of Delta Thistle/Royal City, Reese-Hansen of Victoria Curling Club, Royea of Langley, Bowles of Royal City, Wilson of Juan de Fuca/ Kerry Park, Buchy of Kimberley and McGillivray of Vernon. The finals will be streamed live at sportscanada.tv/curlbc on Dec. 23.

MOSCOW — The International Olympic Committee has barred the Russian team from competing in Pyeongchang in February over widespread doping at the last edition of the Winter Games in 2014. However, some ath-
letes will be allowed to compete as “Olympic Athletes from Russia’’ under the Olympic flag. Gold medallists won’t hear the Russian anthem played on the podium. The IOC said the OAR team will be invi-
tation-only, picked by a panel of anti-doping and medical officials from various organizations. To be invited, Russian athletes must meet the usual Olympic qualifying standards, but also “be considered clean to the satisfaction of the panel,’’ meaning they can’t have been previously banned for
doping and must face extensive pre-Games drug testing. It’s not yet clear if Russian athletes plan to challenge these requirements in court. An IOC attempt to bar Russians with previous doping bans from last year’s Summer Olympics was overturned at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
Selection camp roster announced THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A core of seven players from last year’s silver medal-winning team were named to Canada’s world junior hockey championship selection camp roster on Wednesday. Hockey Canada invited 32 players — 18 forwards, 10 defencemen and four goaltenders — to its selection camp roster at the Meridian Centre in St. Catharines, Ont., starting on Dec. 12. Goaltender Carter Hart (Everett), defencemen Jake Bean (Calgary), Kale Clague (Brandon) and Dante Fabbro
(Boston University) and forwards Dillon Dube (Kelowna), Michael McLeod (Mississauga) and Taylor Raddysh (Erie) are the returning players. Other notable players joining the returnees are OHL leading scorer Jordan Kyrou (Sarnia), WHL leading goal scorer Tyler Steenbergen (Swift Current), last year’s WHL player of the year Sam Steel (Regina) and Memorial Cup-winning goaltender Michael DiPietro (Windsor). Joining Hart and DiPietro in net will be Samuel Harvey (Rouyn-Noranda) and Colton Point (Colgate University). On defence, Dennis Cholowski (Prince George),
Mario Ferraro (University of Massachusetts), Cal Foote (Kelowna), Josh Mahura (Regina), Cale Makar (University of Massachusetts), Logan Stanley (Kitchener) and Conor Timmins (Sault Ste. Marie) were invited. Rounding out the forwards are: Jonathan Ang (Peterborough), Drake Batherson (Cape Breton), Maxime Comtois (Victoriaville), Alex Formenton (London), Jonah Gadjovich (Owen Sound), Cody Glass (Portland), Brett Howden (Moose Jaw), Tanner Kaspick (Brandon), Boris Katchouk (Sault Ste. Marie), Kole Lind (Kelowna) and Nick Suzuki (Owen Sound).

If offers come along that include bringing in players projected to be top-six forwards or top-four D-men in 2019-2020, the Blazers will be listening, but the GM seems anything but trigger happy. “I’m excited about our team, that the team is developing and improving every day,” MacGregor said. “We have a chance to win every night. “The decision is do you add to this group to try and make sure you’re in a position to improve and to continue to improve or do you just maintain?” Kamloops has cards to play at the deadline, including veterans who have increased their value with strong play. There also doesn’t seem to be many teams in positions to sell. Dispatching one or more of the team’s
best players will anger some of the fan base and likely won’t help the Blazers’ chances of success in the playoffs this season, but that is the type of short-term pain most organizations in this situation are willing to endure. “Players are the most important thing,” MacGregor said. “Obviously, fans are important and your ticket holders are vitally important because you want them to attend your games. “But if you think your players feel they have a chance to win and compete, you’ll see a good product and you’ll see the results the fans will be impressed with.” The remarkable turnaround since the 0-9 start may have affected the club’s trade-deadline strategy, especially considering the value it seems to be placing on a six-game
road trip and a few games after Christmas. “It will put us in a place where we’re either in the battle or not in the battle,” MacGregor said. “There are still a lot of games after Christmas, so it’s not like you’re out of it, but if we can have a strong road trip and do well and come through that road trip in a positve frame, then we’re doing the right things. “You’re getting on through the season and you have to make a determination of where our team is at and make your moves accordingly.” Kamloops will begin the roadie against the Raiders in Prince Albert on Friday. Pilon was asked how his team’s tour of the East Division will set the stage for the second half of the season. “If we go out there
and have a good road trip, it really sets the tone for the second half of our season,” he said. “If we don’t, we know it kind of changes the plan of what’s going to happen with the organization.” Gatenby, who hopped on the bus Tuesday for the last East Division swing of his commendable WHL career, would like to return to Kamloops with a winning record — and he wants to be a Blazer on Jan. 11. “When I got traded to the Blazers, they believed in me and wanted to give me an opportunity here,” Gatenby said. “From the start of the season, even when we were 0-9, I’ve still been trying to give everything I can for this team, to try and get as many wins as we can, and be a good guy to the younger players.”

Obituaries & In Memoriam Earle Lorne Campbell Surrounded by love, our wonderful husband and dad passed away on November 18, 2017 at Royal Inland Hospital with his family by his side. Earle was born in Dodsland, SK on February 11, 1928 and predeceased by his parents and sisters Gwen Jones, Kay White and Marlene Murray. Lorne is survived by his loving wife and best friend of 60+ years Sharon, daughter Sandy Treleaven (Brian), sons Scott (Shirley) and Mike, brotherin-law Stan Jones, brother-in-law Hayes (Vivian) Brown, sister-in-law Sue Hatch and sister-in-law Marion (Mel) Miners, as well as many beloved cousins, nieces, nephews and friends. Lorne was the eldest child and only son of Campbell “Cam” and Doris Earle. One of his grandfathers owned the local store and the other was a farmer, so he was introduced to the working world at a young age. The family later relocated to BC and when Cam went overseas with the Canadian Forces in 1941, Lorne became the man of the family at the tender age of 13. Having finished school at Victoria College, Lorne joined the Bank of Montreal and after various postings around central BC he ended up back home in Victoria where he and Sharon met and married in 1957. Three kids and several transfers later, Lorne joined the Bank of BC and in 1971 the
After a short battle with cancer, Herb slipped away on an unusually sunny and warm November day surrounded by the love of his family. Herb was born to his parents Ronald and Mary Kreger in Vancouver, BC and grew up on a farm in Sardis, BC with his parents and six siblings. Herb went to school in Sardis and Chilliwack, however farm chores took precedence over school attendance. He married the love of his life Bertha in 1948 and they have been blessed with 69 years together. Herb and Bertha had five children Jimmy (deceased), Ron (Janice), Judy, Darlene (Blake) and Gary (Katherine), six granddaughters Heidi, Julia, Tabatha, Carrie, Shelby and Kelly and great-grandson Sheldon. Herb and Bertha have lived in Kamloops for 62 years, 58 of those years in Valleyview.
If family and friends wish, a donation in Lorne’s memory to KidSport BC or to another charity of choice would be much appreciated.
Herb began his working life cutting meat in Sardis, moving on to open his own meat shop there. Herb was involved in starting the meat department in the Overwaitea Food chain. After a few years of independently providing this service for the chain, Overwaitea bought him out and he went on to work as a meat manager for the company for 37 years, finishing his career at the Overwaitea (Save-On) in Sahali. Throughout his years at Overwaitea, Herb established relationships with many customers including local farmers and ranchers. He always had time for half a cup.
A celebration of Lorne’s life will be held in the spring, dates and details to be announced later.
After a very successful career, Herb enjoyed many years of travelling, camping and bowling with his wife Bertha and many good times with family. He spent countless hours in his yard enjoying his passion for gardening.

Lorne was a sports fan extraordinaire and cheered his beloved Bruins, Red Sox and Kamloops Blazers with great passion; the Red Sox finally winning their World Series (and then repeating twice!) was at the top of his sports highlight reel. He was an avid curler and a lover of baseball stadiums and hockey arenas; one of his most famous exploits was sweet-talking his way into a sold-out Rangers game at Madison Square Garden, where the security guard not only let him in but ushered him to an empty luxury suite where he watched the game in the highest of style.

Ronald Recchi Ronald Recchi passed away peacefully at home in Valemount, BC on November 27, 2017 following a yearlong battle with cancer. Ron was born and grew up in Kamloops, BC where he enjoyed playing hockey, softball, fishing and hunting. His parents Louis and Nellie raised Ron, his brother Mel and sisters Angie and Darilyn in their house on Lorne Street and the area around the Red Bridge and Pioneer Park was Ron’s stomping grounds growing up. He was a hard-working father who was serious but could never resist the opportunity to have a laugh (and a rye or two) with friends and loved ones whenever the opportunity came about. Ron’s job brought the family to the Prince George area for a few years in the late 70s then to Valemount in 1980 where his boys grew up and he and Sue have lived ever since. Ron loved the outdoors and continued to hunt every season and in retirement he added golfing to his outdoor activities. He stayed close with his family and many friends based in Kamloops even though they’d lived away for many years. Ron still considered Kamloops his hometown. Ron is survived by his wife Susan, sons Darin and Marvin, daughters-inlaw Summer and Dawndi and grandchildren John, Rachel, Hazel, Sammy, Charlie and Evelyn. His sons are grateful for the devoted Dad he was, the work ethic he instilled in them and the love of outdoors that he passed down. His grandchildren will cherish the many fond memories they have of their Nonno. Per Ron’s wishes there will not be a service.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Ralph Donald Brett
Mavis (K) Robinson
April 6, 1938 – November 28, 2017
November 23, 1918 – November 29, 2017
Ralph suddenly passed away in Chase, BC.
Mavis Robinson passed away peacefully on November 29, 2017 less than a week after her 99th birthday which she celebrated with joy at a party held in Kamloops Seniors Village with family, her care home friends and the staff she loved and who loved her in return.
He is survived by his loving wife Sylvia, daughter Heather Parker, son Ian Brett and stepdaughters Kim Roman and Kari (Cameron) Wheatley, grandchildren Amanda, Nicole, Amanda (Kevin), Alexandra and several great-grandchildren, as well as brothers, sister, nieces and nephews. Ralph worked for Weyerhaeuser in Kamloops as a Millwright. He enjoyed being a Millwright and being with his co-workers. After retirement, he continued to work in the industry travelling throughout the provinces. He loved his job and the many colleagues and friends he worked alongside with over the years. Ralph enjoyed international travel, meeting new people and spending his winters away with Sylvia to the warmer climates. Many great memories were made travelling in their RV with their furry companion Haggis. He loved the Shuswap, tending to his lawn, shopping, finding amazing deals and spending time with family and friends. He will be dearly missed. A celebration of life will be announced at a later date. Condolences may be expressed online at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com
She will be greatly missed. She was the youngest of three children (Kenneth and Elaine) born to Harold Windross Jackson and Edith Annie (Swindon). She was predeceased by her husband Walter Robinson (1991), sons-in-law James Weseen, John Ottoson and Gerry Dionne and daughter-in-law Elizabeth. She is survived by five children: son Peter Robinson (Sandra Moores) and daughters Wendy Weseen, Janet Robinson (Terry Gillmore), Susan Dionne and Elaine LaBar (David), thirteen grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren. Mavis was born in Tollerton, Yorkshire, England, married Walter Robinson in 1940 during the Second World War in St. Botolphe’s Anglican Church in Knottingley, Yorkshire when he was in uniform serving in the Glasgow Highland Regiment. She immigrated to Canada with her husband and family in 1955 to Outlook, Saskatchewan sailing on the S.S. Captain Cook, with 13 trunks and $75 in their pocket. They subsequently moved to Hope, British Columbia in 1964 where she lived for 38 years. During that time, she worked as a nurses’ aide and a doctor’s assistant. While in Hope, she was a United Church Board member,
a member of two writers groups, two choirs and the Women’s Institute. She was a self-taught pianist and a writer of poetry and personal essays, one of which was published in the Legionnaire Magazine. After a short stay in Osoyoos, Mavis moved into Berwick Retirement Home in Kamloops in 2004 to be close to her daughter Elaine and then to Kamloops Seniors Village in 2009. In 2016 at 98 years of age, she won the award for attending the most recreational and cultural events of any resident at the Village. Mavis lived up to the meaning of her name, Songbird. She had a great zest for life, sang like a bird and gave whole hearted love to everyone she encountered until her very last day. She has left her family a huge legacy: a capacity to love, an unfailing quick wit and a passion for the arts especially music, literary art (poetry and memoir) and performing arts. A huge thank you to her fellow residents, the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village, and to Dr. Peter Loland for their excellent care and the love given to our mother over her eight years there and at her peaceful death. In lieu of flowers, please donate to a charity of your choice. A small Memorial Tea will be held at Kamloops Seniors Village on Sunday, December 17, 2017 at 2:00 pm in the Multi-purpose room. A more formal celebration of life will be held at a later date when more of her family are able to attend. Arrangements are entrusted to Schoening Funeral Services. 250-374-1454.
