“Everybody really just felt his local experience working with the chamber and having his own business, working in this market as well as his great cross-section of background, would be an ideal fit for this snapshot in time,” Herman said. “I have been so blessed to be a part of the Kamloops Business Community over the last 15 years and this move feels so right,” Heighton wrote on his Facebook page. “The ability to

The North Shore Business Improvement Association has found its next executive director. NSBIA president Bryce Herman confirmed the association has hired Jeremy Heighton, the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce’s member relations co-ordinator. Heighton announced on his Facebook page that he will step into the role as of Jan. 8. The NSBIA has been without an executive director since Steven Puhallo resigned in the fall to start up an online gaming company. Herman said the NSBIA’s selection committee received more than 45 applications, most from within Kamloops.
assist developing the North Shore Business Association and is members, our amazing North Shore communities and Kamloops as a positive business destination for new and developing businesses, as well as building momentum which yields positive and powerful outcomes for all.” Herman said the board will begin strategic planning for the next three to five years once Heighton officially joins the organization, but added building relationships with businesses and agencies in the city, including the chamber of commerce, will be a key focus. Herman said the association will also continue to monitor the effects of Interior Health’s mobile supervised drug-use site.

It is definitely not picnic weather as the deep freeze continues in Kamloops, leaving tables in Riverside Park to gather snow. A warming trend is expected as we ring in the new year.
Baby, it will remain cold out there While Kamloops continues to be mired in a cold snap, the mercury readings locally are relatively balmy compared to other parts of the country. The Tournament Capital will continue to experience daily high temperatures in the negative double digits through the weekend, with snow forecast on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. It is not until New Year’s Day that the temperature is expected to warm, with a high of -6 C predicted for Jan. 1 and a high of -3 C anticipated on Jan. 2. And it is cold right across the second-largest country in the world. Environment Canada issued a slew of extreme cold warnings across the country this week as winter set in for a good, long stay. The weather agency issues extreme cold

warnings when very cold temperatures or wind chill creates an elevated risk to health such as frost bite and hypothermia. Environment Canada is asking people to watch for symptoms related to the cold, including shortness of breath, chest pain, muscle pain and weakness, numbness and a change in the colour of the fingers and toes. In British Columbia, the agency warned the Yoho Park and Kootenay Park regions could see wind chills as low as -40 C due to a cold Arctic ridge of high pressure it predicts will remain over the region for several days. Much of Alberta, Manitoba and the entirety of Saskatchewan were also subject to the warnings and Environment Canada said the frigid temperatures are expected to continue through the end of the week.
Environment Canada issued the warning for parts of northern Ontario too, along with a snow squall warning for Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Southern Ontario was largely spared from the extreme cold, save for parts of southwestern Ontario surrounding the Georgian Bay. In Quebec, the agency warned that the cold arctic air was moving southward on Christmas Day night and Boxing Day, and would continue to do so on Wednesday. It said wind chills could reach -42 C in the province. While the Atlantic provinces were largely spared from the extreme cold warnings, much of Newfoundland and Labrador was subject to wind and blizzard warnings, as well as blowing snow advisories. — with files from Canadian Press

No injuries were reported following a Boxing Day house fire in the Shuswap that destroyed a home. Emergency crews were called to a house in the 8000-block of Squilax-Anglemont Road in St. Ives at about 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday for a report of a residential structure fire.
“Celista and Anglemont volunteer fire departments arrived on scene to find a house had been lost to fire and a detached garage still burning,” Chase RCMP Cpl. Scott Linklater said. “The fire was extinguished, but not before the loss of the house, garage and two vehicles.” The home’s residents were out
of town when the fire broke out. Linklater said the cause is unknown, but it is not suspected to have been set intentionally. • Meanwhile, a fire that destroyed a landmark pub in the Shuswap last week has been ruled an accident by investigators. The Copper Island Inn and Pub in Scotch Creek was destroyed
by flames after fire broke out on the afternoon of Dec. 21. The building’s five residents escaped unharmed, but the building was destroyed. “The fire is accidental and is believed to have started in a chimney,” Linklater said. Firefighters were fighting the fire for 10 hours.

After Dale assured this former KTW editor her request was legit, and brought me up to speed about life in the Loops since my former boss (when I toiled at the Kamloops Daily News) and your former mayor Mel Rothenburger became a blogger, my simple answer was “plenty.” I haven’t been on a horse since that memorable Kamloops Cattle Drive, but I’ve been on an elephant in Thailand, a motorbike in Cuba, a zip-line in the Dominican Republic, a hard bike seat in Costa Rica and next to sharks, snakes and scary stuff while swimming in Australia’s Great Barrier Reef. After leaving KTW to become the first editor of the Metro daily, I had coffee stops at Business In Vancouver, the Abbotsford Times, Black Press Daily and Valleylife Magazine before dropping anchor at the Vancouver Sun for the 2010 Winter Olympics. I now work for both the Sun and Province on the news/sports print and web desk. In my spare time, I write a fun running blog, dress up in race costumes, take photos of strangers in spandex and help promote charities while trying to shed the odd calorie — much like Arjun Singh, who keeps reminding me we need another burger meeting. I “relish” we do. In the new year, I plan to jump aboard the mental health/ depression bandwagon, working to spread the Bell-like message of Let’s Talk. My youngest brother, also

WHERE ARE THEY NOW? A look back at some of the stories and newsmakers of 2017 and years previous
my best friend and hero, died unexpectedly in May of this year, leaving behind an awesome wife, a seven-year-old son and an 11-year-old daughter. If nothing else, I want to do my part so no other family has to suffer through that painful ordeal. When Dale asked what I think of the current state of journalism, I wondered if I should tweet my response, take a selfie of my answer or go old school and write something. I always believed community papers, with hard-working staff members who rub shoulders with readers every day, would last forever. I worried big chains, with their one-size-fits-all and profitfirst mentality, would go down first if there was a demise. I thought all of that before the invention of cellphones and readers’ addiction to them. In short, I believe quality journalists with relevant stories to tell will always be in demand, but how that will be best delivered to the masses remains a mystery to simple folks like me — and even the brighter folks for whom I work. I’ll never forget covering a Kamloops Blazers game when a WHL scout asked somewhat tongue-in-cheek: “If newspapers didn’t cover this game, did it really happen?” I grew up reading newspapers, magazines and books.
I still love holding them and, despite ticking off all the save-thetree types in the Lower Mainland, still print off the best KTW columns and stories. My iPad won’t stick to the fridge. What I miss most about Kamloops, besides the great skiing at Sun Peaks, golf, running, concerts, curling and hockey, are the amazing people. When I worked as a sports reporter and editor for the nowclosed daily and as managing editor at KTW, most were supportive and passionate about their home turf. I loved the debate, the politics, the politicians, the coaches, the teachers, the reporters and the people who made the city interesting. I never really learned to twostep and never fully bought into that “pulp smell is money” mentality, but if I had to do it all over again, Kamloops would definitely be a place I’d drop anchor. It was a great place to ride a steam train and call home. And debating sports, politics and country music with Earl “The Pearl” Seitz, Rick “The Bear” Wile, Jim Harrison, Terry Lake, Claude Richmond, Susan Duncan, Kelly Hall, Peter Findlay, Murray Mitchell, Dave Eagles and Mel Recchi was always a blast. Godspeed everyone. Happy New Year and embrace life.

TRU Students’ Union wants funding equality tions and municipal politicians as part of the Fund the Future initiative.

Thompson Rivers University ranks 16th of 25 post-secondary institutions when it comes to funding from the provincial government — and its students’ union wants to change that. Cole Hickson, TRU Students’ Union vicepresident external, and Leif Douglass, the group’s campaign co-ordinator, are taking that message to businesses, organiza-
$9,000 per student. In the past five years, he said, TRU has been underfunded by about $80 million. The government decides on the amount of funding through a formula that involves first setting a target of full-time equivalent (FTE) students at each institution — and that’s a key issue for the students’ union. TRU is attracting and retaining more FTE students than the government expects; during the 2015-2016 school year, it was 400
over the government’s projection, but the university receives funding only for the target set by Victoria. Only 10 of the 26 institutions have met or exceeded the government’s estimated number of FTEs. Douglass said their issue has been easy to sell, given their 10-minute presentation includes the economic impact TRU has on the ThompsonNicola region, one the union estimates as $5 for every $1 a student spends.
They’re asking each entity they present to for a letter of support to help promote their case to the government. Upcoming presentations include members of the Southern Interior Local Government Association and Kamloops city council. The presentation to the standing committee included a second recommendation it will be including in its report back to government — creation of a provincial up-front, need-based grants pro-
Sun Peaks medical clinic gets $100K boost The Sun Peaks Family Practice Clinic has received a major donation. Former longtime Sun Peaks’ residents Gail and Shorty Stiles have donated $100,000 to equip the new medical facility. “We had just reached our target of $400,000 when this great news arrived,” Sun Peaks
Mayor Al Raine said. “They have always been involved in community fundraising, especially the need for health facilities,” Raine said of the Stiles. “Even though they live in Victoria today, we have always known that their hearts were still in Sun Peaks.”
Sun Peaks Family Practice opened its doors on Dec. 11, with Dr. Shane Barclay treating patients. The facility is open Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Raine said as patient volumes increase, operating hours will expand. The family practice
is open to all residents of the region and is working with the Sun Peaks Ski Patrol. “We have a long list of volunteers and fundraisers who have worked together to make this dream a reality,” Sun Peaks councillor Ines Popig said, noting the Stiles are the latest to help build the facility.

What many prospective borrowers don’t realize is that the pricing of mortgages and other loans is based in part on their creditworthiness, and a person’s credit score is the established measure for credit-worthiness. People with a lower credit score can find themselves paying a higher interest rate, or denied access to certain types of loans. The good news is that by taking a few basic precautions, prospective borrowers can protect their credit report and credit score, and increase their access to better rates and a better choice of mortgage products. Do you understand the difference between your credit report and your credit score? A credit report is a detailed history of how consistently you meet your financial obligations and provides a picture of your financial health based on your past behaviour. A credit score is an objective summary that translates personal information from your credit report and other sources into a three-digit number representing your overall credit-worthiness. Both your credit report and score are important. When deciding whether or not to grant a mortgage loan, lenders refer to an applicant’s credit report and score, along with a range of other factors such as income, employment history, and down payment size. Generally, a credit score uses your past credit history to help predict how you might manage your credit in the future. The credit score used most often by Canadian lenders is the FICO score (developed by the Fair Isaac Co.), which is a number between 0 and 900. The higher your score, the more likely you are to be approved for a mortgage and receive favourable rates because the lender considers you to be a better credit risk. Several factors are used by the two credit agencies in Canada (Equifax Canada and TransUnion Canada) to calculate credit scores: • Debt payment history. • Amounts owed compared to your current credit limits with lenders. • How often you seek new credit. • Length of time you have had credit accounts. • Type of credit, such as car loans, lines of credit, credit cards, fi nance company loans. • Recent new credit or cancelled cards Fortunately, there are a number of steps that consumers can take to keep their credit report and credit score healthy:

However, multiple inquiries within a 30 day period for car or mortgage loans are ignored. Reviewing your own credit fi le regularly to stay informed about the details on your file.

Loaded weapon seized at roadblock MOUNTIES ALSO FIND DRUGS AND CASH
The pickup truck used in the Dec. 23 robbery of the Petro-Canada gas station in Dallas was a 1990s blue over white vehicle with damage to the body with rusted fender wells. It was found following the holdup, but police have not said if arrests have been made.
Police seek gas station robber Security cameras captured a clear image of a pickup truck used in a gas station robbery in Kamloops on Friday
night and Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding the bandit. Staff Sgt. Edward
Preto said a man with a knife walked into the Petro-Canada gas station on Kokanee Way in Dallas at 11:44 p.m. He
THURSDAY
demanded money from the cashier, took the bills and left in an older Ford pickup truck driven by an accomplice. The suspect is white, about 25 years of age, stands 5-foot-7 and weighs 175 pounds. He has blue eyes and dirty blond hair and, at the time of the robbery, had a beard. He was wearing a dark hoodie with a large Toronto Blue Jays logo on the front. Anyone with information regarding this robbery or suspects is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
For the second time during this month’s Counter Attack program, Kamloops Mounties have seized a loaded gun — with the two seizures taking place in the same vicinity 14 days apart. Const. Mike Scherpenisse said the latest weapons seizure was accompanied by the discovery of drugs and cash when a man drove through the roadblock in the 200-block of West Victoria Street downtown at 12:40 a.m. on Saturday. Scherpenisse said the man told officers he did not have a driver’s licence. “A further check of
the male revealed that he was prohibited from driving,” Scherpenisse said. “While the officer was arresting the male, he noticed a small bag with a powder substance on the floor. A further search of the car, incident to arrest, located a loaded 9-mm semi-automatic handgun, as well as drugs and cash.” The handgun had been reported as stolen. The 32-yearold man’s car was impounded for seven days, Scherpenisse said, noting the driver, who is not from Kamloops, is known to police and
has an extensive criminal record. The man remains in custody. Police have recommended several charges, including possession of a loaded restricted firearm, possession of a firearm contrary to a prohibition, possession of stolen property, driving while prohibited and drug charges. On Dec. 9, police at a roadblock at Seymour Street and First Avenue saw the driver of a vehicle turn around and try to flee, only to end up the dead-end of a oneway street. Police recovered a loaded handgun and a knife in that incident.
Refund deadline looms Campers have until the end of the year to ask for refunds from BC Parks for Discover Camping reservations affected by the past summer’s wildfires.

Some Parks Canada sites can be reserved in January As Kamloops and much of the Interior and Lower Mainland are buffeted by the latest snow storm, Parks Canada is giving outdoor enthusiasts a reason to think about summer. The Parks Canada reservation system for certain B.C. parks opens early in the new year. A news release from Parks Canada spokesman Dennis Wasylenko says reservations open at 8 a.m., on Wednesday, Jan. 3, for sites within the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve, as well as at the Fort Rodd Hill, Fisgard Lighthouse and Fort Langley National Historic Sites. In past years, campsites have been snatched up immediately. Another round of reservations opens on Jan. 8 for three overwhelmingly popular locations within the Pacific Rim National Park Reserve on the west coast of Vancouver Island. Along with reservations for travel on the West Coast Trail or for sites overlooking Long Beach, near Tofino, the release says campers can reserve spaces across the Broken Group of Islands, in Barkley Sound, north of Bamfield, for the first time.
KCBIA still on hunt From A1
The retrofitted RV spends half of each operating day parked behind ASK Wellness’s Tranquille Road location. Working with Kinder Morgan on its Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, which runs through the North Shore airport corridor, and pushing for more beautification along the pipe route are also priorities. While the NSBIA has filled its head position, the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association remains on the hunt for a general manager to succeed Gay Pooler, who is stepping down in February.
Parks Canada also says it is extending the season for its Tofinoarea Green Point camp-
ground to take advantage of a unique natural event. “Instead of open-
ing in May, the popular forested campground overlooking Long Beach will open March 8, just
in time to take part in the annual Pacific Rim Whale Festival and see grey whales migrate
past the national park reserve,’’ the release says. Reservations can be
made by visiting reservation.pc.gc.ca or by calling 1-877-RESERVE (1-877-737-3783).

LAST CHANCE TO RIDE RED NOSE
A
s we near the end of another year, we also reach the final few days of the annual Christmas season Counter Attack program. One would think the repeated warnings in advance in various media outlets would convince people to not drive while drinking, nor without a licence, nor while carrying a loaded gun that was reported stolen. Alas, the roadblocks that spring up around Kamloops continue to prove that human intellect is selective. Already this month, local Mounties have seized loaded guns from two vehicles whose drivers decided to cruise down the busiest city streets late at night on a weekend — precisely where and when Counter Attack roadblocks tend to pop up. The first driver, back on Dec. 9, saw the police ahead at Seymour Street and First Avenue and tried to escape by turning around in a parking lot. He was caught and the gun was found. The second driver came upon a roadblock last weekend and told the police he did not have a licence to drive. Shortly thereafter, a loaded gun reported stolen, along with drugs and cash, was taken from the vehicle. Those two head-shaking incidents are in addition to drivers who were not carrying loaded weapons, drugs or cash, but who were travelling with too much booze or other drug in their systems. The final numbers from this year’s Counter Attack will be released later, but it is safe to assume there will again be too many driving prohibitions handed out in light of the cacophony of warnings to not drink and drive. The fact people still do is even more mystifying when one considers the plethora of safe rides home available in Kamloops. This weekend offers the final few days of Operation Red Nose, the bydonation service that drives you and your vehicle home if you have had a bit too much to drink or otherwise need a ride home. Use it.

Two years in, Trudeau’s fans must be feeling conflicted
F
or a political party in the middle of a serious controversy involving its leader, the prime minister, the timing of the latest request for money is unfortunate. The federal Liberals sent out emails the day after Christmas, using Boxing Day to tell potential donors of the “best deals we can offer!” Of course, those “best deals” are not provided by the Liberals, but by the federal government via legislation, regardless of which party is in power. The email reminds would-be supporters of political contribution tax credits available: at one end, donate $20, get a tax credit of $15 and pay only $5. At the other end, donate $1,500, get a tax credit of $650 and pay only $850, while getting an invitation to join the Laurier Club, which grants members exclusive access to party functions and politicians. The timing is a bit awkward as the electronic cap in hand is taking place as news of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s ethical failure continues to reverberate. A refresher: In March 2016, Trudeau’s wife and kids visited the Caribbean Island that is home to the Aga Khan (Prince Shah Karim Al Hussaini), the wealthy spiritual leader of Ismailis, who follow a branch of Shia Islam. The trip took place at the same time as the Aga Khan was asking the federal government for a meeting to discuss a $15-million
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
Newsroom
MUSINGS grant to be used at his Global Centre for Pluralism. The meeting was held in May, with the prime minister telling the Aga Khan’s people that the grant would be approved. Seven months later, the prime minister and his family visited the Aga Khan’s private Caribbean island or Christmas. Travelling with the PM’s family were Liberal MP Seamus O’Regan, Liberal party president Anna Gainey and their spouses. While the flights from Canada to Nassau in March and December 2016 were not paid for by the Aga Khan, the connecting flights from Nassau to the private island were on the wealthy spiritual leader’s dime. That, federal conflict of interest and ethics commissioner Mary Dawson has found, was a violation of the Conflict of Interest Act. Dawson also noted Trudeau violated a portion of the Act by meeting with the Aga Khan’s
representatives in May about the grant request. “When Mr. Trudeau, as prime minister, accepted the gifts of hospitality from the Aga Khan and the use of his private island in March and December 2016, there were ongoing official dealings with the Aga Khan and the Aga Khan Foundation Canada was registered to lobby his office,” Dawson said. “Therefore, the vacations accepted by Mr. Trudeau or his family could reasonably be seen to have been given to influence Mr. Trudeau in his capacity as prime minister.” It should be simple: a politician does not accept gifts from a person seeking money from that politician’s government. That Trudeau has been found guilty of being in a conflict of interest a mere two years into his term as PM is disappointing, particularly because he campaigned in 2015 as the man who would bring “sunny ways” and “real change” to Canadian politics. That he spent months dodging questions about the Aga Khan affair and continued to justify clear wrongdoing by claiming he was simply vacationing with family at a friend’s home — a vacation that cost taxpayers $215,000 — should compel Trudeau’s most ardent fans to at least question more and fawn less during the back half of the prime minister’s mandate. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LOCAL NEWS
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HEARING NEEDED FOR CANNABIS OUTSIDERS
Editor: I attended the Dec. 19 city council public hearing on cannabis dispensaries. I heard plenty of passionate input from those impacted by the potential closure of dispensaries. However, I was deeply concerned by the lack of attendance by the business community as a whole, outside of those in the cannabis industry, and commercial landlords. The changes to Bylaw 9-65 add a new class of business licence for commercial landlords, a seem-
ingly harmless move. However, these changes also make the now-licensed commercial landlords liable for financial penalties if their tenants do not have a business licence, anywhere from $200 to $10,000 per day. Because landlords are often risk-averse by nature, they may be less likely to rent to businesses or groups that have difficulty navigating the often intimidating and difficult business-licensing process. The fines allowed for by the changes to the bylaw do not
have to be applied by city staff for them to be harmful, despite assurances they will be used with restraint, for it is the very fear of their potential application that will squelch entrepreneurship at its earliest beginnings. These changes to the city’s business-licensing framework — which apply to the business community as a whole — were sent to a public hearing under the haze of being associated almost entirely with cannabis dispensaries. A skeptic may see the involvement of this bylaw with cannabis
as a way to mask changes to the bylaw and hinder citizens who may be affected by this bylaw from attending and giving their input. Licensing commercial landlords and changing the fine structure may be prudent, but using the fear and politics of cannabis to do so was inappropriate. A hearing to address the concerns of people outside of the dispensary debate who are potentially affected should be held. Nicholas Adams Kamloops
DON’T BLAME MINING FOR CITY’S POLLUTION
Editor: Re: The Dec. 19 letter from Margaret Archibald regarding the provincial and federal governments’ decision to reject KGHM’s application for its proposed Ajax copper and gold mine (‘Ajax decision best Christmas gift’): It is sadly noted there are so many people with a professional designation in health care who do not know where the pollution is com-
ing from within Kamloops. I took many early-morning pictures during September from the Savona lookout to the east (Kamloops) direction, noting severe pollution normally approximately 500 feet thick over the entire confluence of the Thompson rivers. During these high-pressure cycles, it is clear the pollution is coming from mostly automobiles, transport truck traffic and trains
idling in the city limits on their way through. As there is little manufacturing industry in Kamloops, this leaves next to zero pollution coming from the Afton mine. It is pitiful the Ajax development plan was nixed because of the false blame that mining is a contributor to pollution in Kamloops. Gerald Antoniak Kamloops
VITAMIN D MORE EFFECTIVE THAN FLU VACCINE Editor: A story in the Dec. 14 edition of KTW quoted Dr. Karin Goodison, a medical health officer with Interior Health, as saying the effectiveness of this year’s flu vaccine is ranging between 50 and 70 per cent. (‘Flu vaccine effectiveness pegged at 50-70 per cent’).
But other media have reported this year’s vaccine may only be 10 per cent effective, based on data from the Southern Hemisphere, which has already gone through the flu season. I guess it didn’t work well in Australia. Of course, how they figure this out is that usu-
ally only about 2.7 per cent of adults get the flu annually, but if it drops to 1.2 per cent after vaccinations, it is called 60 per cent effective and it ignores the fact the vaccine has no protective health benefit for 97.5 per cent of adults. Also, there is no mention of how, if you get the
vaccine, then are exposed to a strain not in the vaccine, you are more likely to catch that strain. And there is no mention of how high amounts of vitamin D work much better than the flu vaccine, nor is there any mention of how toxic the aluminum in the vaccine is to the brain (the body is
unable to get rid of most of the aluminum that is injected and it migrates to the organs, including the brain). Two websites — GreenMedInfo.com and Mercola.com — have lots of information on flu vaccine effectiveness. Kristin Saunders Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: RENOVATED WESTSYDE POOL POPULAR WITH GUESTS, FATE STILL UNCERTAIN:
“I don’t think I read this correctly. There’s no way I read this correctly. Council approved a $3-million upgrade to the Westsyde pool and exercise facilities, but back then, were not sure they would approve the additional money needed for new boilers, etc.? “And if the pool isn’t used enough, they would turn it into a gym — because gyms don’t need new boilers? “But they do have $50,000 for another study? Would this study be to see if the boilers and mechanical equipment is actually old or if that is just a rumour?” — posted by JP Winston “Why are we still discussing this? Attendance is up, swim lessons are full and we’re still going to waste another $50,000 on another useless study? “The pool is being used and will continue to be used. It isn’t like there is a whole lot of other things in Westsyde. We spent millions to fix the roof, just fix the rest and keep it open as a pool.” — posted by Mog

in the car. Ridenour was pronounced dead on arrival at hospital, while Bogart died in an Edmonton hospital late on Christmas Day. Bogart’s grandfather, Garry Bogart, said Gage was a “leader of his pack’’ who always looked out for the underdog. “He was just one of those kids who stood out,’’ he said, noting the teen played hockey in the winter and was involved in dirt biking in the summer. Ridenour was described in an online obituary as a “spunky ray of sunshine whose biggest smile could light up a room.’’ It also noted she was a lover of animals and sports, particularly rugby. A celebration of her life was held in Drayton Valley on Wednesday. When the teens were found last week, RCMP said there was a strong odour of exhaust fumes in the vehicle. A mechanical inspection was set for Wednesday. “Basically, he’s going to be doing an examination of the mechanical fitness of the vehicle,’’ Cpl. Chris Warren said. “The mechanical inspection may show something that would give us a causal factor. “It may not, but at this point in the investigation, there is nothing otherwise to tell us that this is anything but a tragedy.’’ Garry Bogart said he expects the inspection will show the car was leaking exhaust. “You watch a child grow from diapers to teenagers in so many things that you can remember, but then it’s all taken away from something stupid like that,’’ he said.

Ottawa asks for clemency for Canadian on death row BILL GRAVELAND
THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — The federal government says a Canadian who has been on death row in the United States for more than three decades should be granted clemency because he has reformed his life and received poor legal counsel when he was convicted. Ronald Smith, 60, and originally from Red Deer, has been on death row since 1983 after fatally shooting two young men while he was high on LSD and alcohol near East Glacier, Mont. He refused a plea deal and pleaded guilty. His request for the death penalty was granted. Smith had a change of heart and has been on a legal roller-coaster for decades. An execution date has been set five times and each time the order was overturned. The Canadian government sent a letter to Montana Gov. Steve Bullock last year, asking for clemency for Smith. The Canadian Press has obtained a copy of the request that was signed by then-former foreign affairs minister Stéphane Dion.
“While our government does not wish to minimize the gravity of the crime for which Mr. Smith was convicted, we believe there are unique circumstances that provide compelling reasons for granting him clemency — most notably the ineffectiveness of Mr. Smith’s original counsel and his success in reforming his life,’’ reads Dion’s letter. Dion said Smith has been an exemplary inmate during his time at Montana State Prison. “He has developed strong relationships with family members and has taken advantage of educational opportunities available to him. Mr. Smith has shown profound remorse and deep regret for his actions,” Dion wrote. He added there is “significant evidence’’ Smith’s original lawyer did not provide “competent representation’’ and spent only six hours on the case before allowing his client to plead guilty. “Mr. Smith’s original legal counsel . . . failed to investigate the facts surrounding the crime; failed to investigate Mr. Smith’s mental state; and failed to discuss possible defences with Mr.
Smith,” Dion wrote. The letter also notes the “unwarranted disparity’’ between Smith receiving a death sentence and his coaccused, Rodney Munro, who accepted the plea bargain and pleaded guilty to aggravated kidnapping. He was sentenced to 60 years in prison, but was returned to Canada and released in 1998. “The Canadian government is also deeply
concerned about the 33 years that Mr. Smith has spent on death row, living in solitary confinement and under the constant threat of execution,” Dion wrote. The Liberal position is a far cry from the stand of the former Conservative government, which initially refused to back Smith’s calls for clemency. But the Federal Court ruled Ottawa must follow a long-standing
practise of lobbying on behalf of Canadians sentenced to death in other countries. The ruling led to then-foreign affairs minister John Baird writing what one of Smith’s lawyers called a “lukewarm’’ letter before Smith’s clemency hearing in 2012. Two members of Smith’s family, including his daughter, as well as relatives of the two victims — Harvey Madman
Jr. and Thomas Running Rabbit — gave emotional testimony at that hearing. “The decisions he made, he has to pay for,’’ Running Rabbit’s son said. “He had no mercy for my father.’’ The clemency request hasn’t been ruled on by two successive Montana governors. All executions in Montana have been on hold since 2008 when
legal action filed by the American Civil Liberties Union was successful. In an October 2016 interview, Smith said he was “ready to come home’’ if clemency were granted. “They’ve got their pound of flesh and, outside of what I did 34 years ago, I haven’t been a troublemaker,’’ he said. “I think I’ve shown what I did . . . was an aberration. “It’s not who I was.’’

Family friend: Slain sisters were ‘full of energy’ THE CANADIAN PRESS
OAK BAY — Two young sisters found dead in a Victoria-area home on Christmas Day are being remembered as beautiful and energetic children. A family member and a friend have identified the girls as Aubrey Berry, 4, and sister Chloe Berry, 6. Police have said officers were called to a home in Oak Bay on Monday evening, when the bodies of two children were discovered. Trisha Lees, a friend and spokeswoman for the family, said the girls were delightful. “They were just full of energy,
full of smiles, full of giggles and very silly. Like most little girls their age, they liked to have lots of fun,’’ she said. Chloe’s Grade 1 school photo taken this fall depicts a grinning blond girl dressed in a uniform and missing a front tooth. A photo of Aubrey shows a smiling, blue-eyed girl with long, blond hair, wearing a blue and green blouse. Lees said Aubrey was in preschool and had recently started coming into her own, transitioning from a toddler into a child. “She was silly. She was lots of fun. She was always laughing, she
had a huge smile,’’ she said. The children would often visit a beach near their home with their mother, Sarah Cotton, and the family loved visiting a nearby Gulf Island, Lees said. She said Sarah was devoted to the girls. “Seeing the three of them together was an absolute delight,” Lees said. “Sarah was just one of those mothers who was born to be a mother and did an exceptionally great job with them in every possible way.’’ Lees said she has been with Cotton since the tragedy. Cotton shared custody with her
former common-law husband, Andrew Berry, Lees said. The pair had been estranged since 2013, she said. Frank Cotton, the girls’ greatuncle, said his daughter had been teaching Chloe to ride horses. “[Chloe] was doing very well. She was catching on to riding properly. And it’s all over,’’ he said, his voice choked with emotion. Lees said Cotton called police on Christmas Day after their father didn’t return the girls as scheduled. Police have said an injured man, whose condition has not been disclosed, was found inside the home and taken to hospital.
The Vancouver Island integrated major crime unit said on Tuesday it was called in to assist the Oak Bay Police Department with a double homicide. Police have said they are not looking for additional suspects. They have not released any further information about the investigation. Deborah Marshall, a spokeswoman for BC Ferries, confirmed information first reported by the Victoria Times Colonist that Cotton and Berry met while working for the corporation. She said Cotton left BC Ferries about five years ago, while Berry left in the spring.
Montreal workers win $60-million jackpot GIUSEPPE VALIANTE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — A somewhat secretive group of Montrealers who recently won the $60-million Lotto Max grand prize picked up their cheques Wednesday and were presented to the media. Quebec’s gaming authority described the nine winners as colleagues “who work in finance in downtown Montreal.’’ Several of the big winners spoke to reporters, but they wouldn’t say what they did for a living
or where they worked. When asked if they were already wealthy before they found out they would be sharing the $60 million in prize money, winner Julie Beland replied, “It depends on how each of us defines [rich]. “For some of us, yes, for others, no,’’ Beland, said, adding she is in her 30s. “We were people who made efforts that needed to be made to get to where we were.’’ Her colleague, Haidar Abi Haidar, 27, added, “Money doesn’t create anything. We were
comfortable.’’ Abi Haidar said LotoQuebec’s description of them being in finance was not entirely correct. “It’s a bit more complicated,’’ he said. “It’s a multi-industry [company], I would say. We would rather keep that quiet.’’ On Sunday, Enzo Scattone woke up, went online and discovered the Dec. 22 grand prize was won by a group from Montreal. Thinking he might have just gotten lucky, Scattone checked the numbers on Loto-
Quebec’s website and started crying. “Yeah, I cried,’’ said Scattone, who didn’t respond when asked how old he was. “I thought of a lot of things, of my family.’’ Beland said she and her eight colleagues will take the time to reflect on their future, but said winning millions hasn’t changed their life goals. “All the projects we had planned before this money are the same,’’ she told reporters. “Now we have more possibilities to complete what we had in mind. We will remain grounded.’’ The nine usually split one ticket, but this time

COMMUNITY MOMS, BABIES HIT THE TRAILS
WILD AND TINY YKA FACEBOOK GROUP UNITES FAMILIES FOR OUTDOOR EXCURSIONS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
W
hen Andrea Heath had a baby in April, she found limited opportunities to get active with her newborn. She was adjusting to life as a mom, shifting priorities from a busy working life to a slower pace, and didn’t want to sit around. “I started looking around to try to find a mom’s hiking group just to meet other moms and get in the outdoors,” Heath said. “There wasn’t anything going on.” That’s what prompted Heath to start a community of her own. Wild and Tiny YKA is based on a similar group in Vancouver, connecting parents through Facebook to meet for hikes with their babies. Children as young as six weeks of age have explored with their moms the trails at Paul Lake and Lac du Bois. “We hike all over Kamloops, using all the city’s parks systems and then, as well, the group has gone out to McConnell Lake,” Heath said. More than 200 people have joined the Facebook group and between seven and nine moms consistently turn up for the weekly get togethers. Heath said it can be tough getting back on track fitness-wise after having a baby. Her son Caden adds 18 pounds of extra weight in Heath’s hiking backpack, which can carry a child up to 45 pounds. Mom is getting a workout, but Heath said the babies enjoy coming along for the ride and expressed the importance of exposing children to nature at a young age. “I read lots of different articles

on the importance of introducing smells as early as six weeks,” she said. “It really helps your child grow cognitively in a very quick way. Even though they’re still young, it helps them socialize.” It’s not uncommon for the babies to do what they do best. “If they’re crying, we don’t care,” she said. Hikes will continue as the temperature continues to drop. Heath is on maternity leave from Tourism Kamloops and has seven years under her belt as a hiking guide in the Rockies. “I have a lot of experience with different weather systems,” she said, noting she can advise parents about appropriate attire and where to buy second-hand hiking gear. For more information, search for Wild and Tiny YKA on Facebook. The group posts its hikes as events and the plan is to eventually add a ski group. Dogs are also welcome.
Megan Biagioni and baby Avery took to the trails during a recent outing with Wild and Tiny YKA, a group of like-minded parents who hike together with their babies.

HISTORY
AN ARCHEOLOGY OF TREES I SPECIAL TO KTW
republicofarchaeology.ca
f you’re one of the many Canadians spending this week sitting around a cut and dressed evergreen in the house, you’re part of an age-old human relationship, a unique tradition we have of mucking about with trees. Trees are a material cornerstone of pre-industrial cultures. In pre-contact B.C., both interior and coastal peoples relied heavily on trees for raw material — even food. Because trees have the ability to heal after material and food are extracted, our forests still hold the evidence of these uses if you know what to look for when searching. These distinctively scarred trees are referred to as culturally modified trees (CMTs) and are a unique and disappearing kind of archaeology. So, what were people doing with these trees? In short, everything. In the way that hunting people expertly use every part of an animal, forest people expertly use every part of the tree: from fresh fir fronds for bedding and sweeping, through the woody trunk for building, all the way down to the teeniest stretchy rootlets for stitching and basketry. Bark from cedar, sage, juniper and cottonwood was removed with bone and antler peelers, shredded and pounded until soft, then woven into textiles.
The sappy cambium (inner bark) of pine was eaten fresh in the spring, peeled from the tree in long juicy “noodles.” Late-season cambium — less sweet and tasty, but flexible and with important antibacterial properties — was used as a packaging for food and bone implements. Pine, spruce and subalpine fir (known also as balsam) were sought for their sticky pitch, used as a sealant and also as a powerful medicine for lung ailments. Long, gently curved branches of Rocky Mountain juniper and Saskatoon were sought for bows. Often the same tree was used year after year, leaving a trunk peppered with smaller-cut branches. The wood itself, useful for so many purposes, could be obtained by falling whole trees or removing parts. The amazing western red cedar, central to the culture of Northwest Coast peoples, is uniquely suited to wood harvest: whole planks can be removed from live trees, which can be left standing for future use. Standing trees are also a medium for art and communication: images carved into the trunks have been interpreted as guardians, territorial markers or simply artistic expression. All these uses leave distinctive scars that slowly heal as the CMTs continue to live and grow, becoming living artifacts for archaeologists to study. Entire trees, cedar on the coast and cottonwood in the
interior, were felled and then carved and steamed into shape to be used as sturdy canoes. Tall, straight cedar were carved into iconic coastal totem poles. These uses leave behind only the stump or heaps of wood chips from carving that can be preserved in wet conditions and remain identifiable for centuries. Harvesting these products requires special attention to season, growing conditions, tree health, age and size. Trees were carefully chosen for unblemished bark, straight branches or sound trunks, and specific locations in the forest that bred these qualities were revisited by generation after generation. Archeologists studying sites of modified trees can help recreate histories of Indigenous land use. Our ability to extract tree ring samples (using a tool called an increment bore) means we can learn when the modifications were made, sometimes to the exact year. As evidence of traditional practices that have waned since contact, these biodegradable artifacts are slowly disappearing through natural processes and modern forest harvesting. Keep an eye out for them when you’re next out for a walk in the woods — for now they are still out there, hiding in plain sight. Joanne Hammond is an archeologist. Interested in more?

SHAPOVALOV NAMED MALE ATHLETE OF YEAR BILL BEACON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
No athlete in Canada held the spotlight in 2017 quite like Denis Shapovalov. The 18-year-old’s remarkable run up the ATP rankings, leaving behind upset wins over Grand Slam tournament champions, has earned the Richmond Hill, Ont., tennis player the Lionel Conacher Award as the Canadian Press male athlete of the year. Shapovalov collected 20 of 64 votes (31 per cent) in a poll of broadcasters and sports editors from across the country. He edged Sidney Crosby, who led the Pittsburgh Penguins to a second straight Stanley Cup, by a single vote. Slugger Joey Votto of the Cincinnati Reds
was third with 11 votes (17 per cent). “To be honest, I’m a little overwhelmed to get this award, this huge honour,’’ Shapovalov said in a phone interview from his training base in Florida. “There are so many Canadian athletes that deserve it, so it’s honestly motivating me to keep going and work harder. I’m very happy.’’ It is the third time in five years the award has gone to a tennis player. Milos Raonic, still Canada’s top-ranked player at 24th despite an injury-shortened season, took it in 2013 and 2014. Shapovalov is hot on Raonic’s heels. He started the year ranked 250th in the world and reached as high as 49th after big performances at the Rogers Cup in Montreal and the U.S.
Open in New York. He ended the season ranked 51st. The Canadian is being touted as a rising star with potential to crack the top 10 or even top five in the world. But what moved voters was Shapovalov’s style and sense of timing as much as his skill. The left-hander with shaggy blond hair and a one-handed backhand had the country
in thrall as he seized his wild-card entry into the Rogers Cup in August and went on a spectacular run. “Shapovalov came out of absolute obscurity to rock the tennis world,’’ wrote David Hughes, executive producer of CTV National News in Toronto. “He also helped re-energize men’s tennis in Canada with his streak to stardom.’’
Denis Shapovalov was named the Canadian Press male athlete of the year earlier this week.

GREGORY STRONG
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Canadian golfer Brooke Henderson is barely out of her teens and her list of accomplishments on the LPGA Tour is already a long one. She won her first LPGA Tour event in 2015, added her first major championship last year and picked up two more tournament titles in 2017. Henderson capped her latest impressive season on Wednesday by winning the Canadian Press Bobbie Rosenfeld Award as Canada’s female athlete of the year. “I’ve always kind of felt like I belonged out there, which I think is a big part of why I’ve had so much success so early,’’ said Henderson, who turned 20 in September. Henderson picked up 35 of 63 votes (56 per cent) in a poll of broadcasters and sports editors from across the country. “Not only is the young golfer an international champion, but she’s also playing a monumental role in helping young children get into the game,’’ said Mitch Bach of CHAT TV news in Medicine Hat. Swimmer Kylie Masse was a distant second with seven votes. Gymnast Ellie Black and soccer player Christine Sinclair were tied for third with four votes apiece. Henderson, who also won the Rosenfeld award in 2015, is the first golfer to win the award on two occasions since Lorie Kane (1997, 2000). Swimmer Penny Oleksiak took the honour last year. “[Henderson] captured the attention of Canadian golf fans in a way not seen since the adoration given previously to Mike Weir,’’ said Winnipeg Free Press sports editor Steve Lyons. Henderson’s five career LPGA Tour victories leaves her only three behind Sandra Post for most wins by a Canadian. “She knows how to score and she’s not afraid to go low,’’ Post said. “Some people, they get to 5 under and they quit. She keeps going.’’

Edmunds sizes up new-car safety features these systems are LaneSense (Chrysler), Active Lane Keeping Assist (Mercedes-Benz) and Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (Toyota). NHTSA recommends lane departure warning but does not yet recommend lane keeping assist. SHOULD YOU GET IT? Yes, but to get the most out of it, make sure to get a system with lane keeping assist, not just the warning. If the car’s camera can no longer see the painted lanes, or if you veer out to make room for a cyclist, it will trigger an alert.
RONALD MONTOYA
EDMUNDS
W
e are in a new era of car safety. The focus has shifted from reducing death and injury in a vehicle collision to preventing a crash from happening in the first place. Safety features designed to avoid accidents are becoming increasingly common in new cars. Here is an overview of the advanced safety features you’re likely to encounter when shopping for a new car, along with examples of what carmakers call their versions of the features.
REAR CROSS-TRAFFIC ALERT
Audi Side Assist (Audi) and Blind Spot Detection (Hyundai). SHOULD YOU GET IT? Yes, but you must regularly use your turn signals to get the most out of it. Some systems will activate the warning light when a vehicle is in your blind spot, but the warning tone or vibration will only occur when your turn signal is activated.
This system is most useful when you’re in a parking lot and have to reverse out of a space. Sensors on the rear bumpers detect an approaching vehicle and warn you that it’s there. Names include Rear Cross Path Detection (Fiat), Moving Object Detection (Infiniti) and Rear Traffic Alert (Volkswagen). SHOULD YOU GET IT? Yes, but don’t expect it to catch everything. As the name implies, the sensors will spot objects crossing from the sides of the vehicle. If something or someone is directly behind the vehicle, you won’t get the alert.
LANE ASSIST
EDMUNDS SAYS
COLLISION WARNING
If you come up behind a slower or stopped vehicle and don’t show signs of braking, the forward collision-warning system will alert you that an impact is imminent. Some carmaker names for this feature include Predictive Forward Collision Warning (Infiniti), Forward Collision Alert (Chevrolet) and Forward Obstruction Warning (Mazda). SHOULD YOU GET IT? Yes. Distracted driving is at an all-time high and this system can serve as an extra set of eyes to prevent an accident.
AUTOMATIC BRAKING
This system will become a standard feature on nearly all cars and light trucks by 2022, thanks to an agreement among most carmakers and U.S. safety officials. If the vehicle senses an imminent collision, the system will automatically apply the brakes to avoid or minimize an
New vehicles, like the Mazda 6 (pictured), come with a plethora of high-tech safety features.
impact. It is often bundled with forward collision warning and goes by names such as City Safety automatic braking (Volvo), Low Speed Forward Automatic Braking (Cadillac) and Frontal Collision Warning with City Collision Mitigation (BMW). SHOULD YOU GET IT? Yes. The fact it is becoming a standard feature soon speaks to its importance.
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
This system is less an active safety feature than a way to reduce driver fatigue on the highway. Let’s say you set the cruise control at 70 m.p.h. If a you catch up to another vehicle or one gets into your lane, the system will apply the brakes to slow your car down and follow the vehicle ahead at a preset distance. The naming is fairly standard, with
the exception of more advanced systems such as Super Cruise (Cadillac), ProPilot Assist (Nissan) and Autopilot (Tesla). SHOULD YOU GET IT? It depends. These systems require you to trust the car to speed up and slow down on its own. If you’re not OK with that or don’t use cruise control at all, save your money. And, just as with some drivers, some systems brake more smoothly than others.
BLIND-SPOT MONITORING
This system will scan the rear corners of the vehicle and light up your side mirrors when it detects a vehicle in those zones. It’s one of the most common new safety technologies, available on about 73 per cent of 2017 models, according to Edmunds data. Some automaker names include Side Blind Zone Alert (Chevrolet),
If your attention wanders and your vehicle starts to drift out of the lane, a lane departure system warns you with a beep, vibration or visual cue on the instrument panel. If the vehicle also is equipped with lane keeping assist, it will go beyond just a warning: It will make a minor steering or braking correction to keep the car in its lane. Common names for
Most of these safety systems are good to have, but you’ll usually find them on higher trim levels or bundled in optional packages. Make sure you rank your list of must-have safety features before making a final purchasing decision. This story was provided to The Associated Press by the automotive website Edmunds.

Kay was a lifelong athlete, from her participation in speed skating, gymnastics, softball, bowling, curling and swimming 30 laps daily well into her eighties. Alzheimer’s disease may have taken her memory, but it didn’t take her spirit. In the end she may not have known us, but we all knew her. Thank you to Heather for her love and support for Kay, as well the family would like to thank the staff at Overlander Residential Care.

Phyllis Charlotte Nelson With deep sadness we announce the peaceful passing of our Mother Phyllis Nelson on November 30, 2017. Mom was predeceased by her loving husband Lyle of 53 years, her grandson Shane Everett along with sisters Irene Stevenson, Dorothy Abraham and Edna Carey. She is lovingly remembered by her daughter Barb (Ron), son Fred (Deb), daughter Becky (Gregg) and daughter Ronda (Lawrence), along with her daughterin-law Marie, her grandchildren Dean (Melanie), Dana (Shane), Todd (Justine), Curt (Tai), Marc (Michelle), Jake (Sara), Rode’(Amanda) and step-granddaughter Angie (Colin), great-grandchildren Ethan, Jason, Sierra, Meila, Griffin, Logan, Cole, Trey, Evan and Aiden. Phyll was born on October 7, 1927 in Chilliwack, BC. After completing Grade 10, Mom went to work at the Totem Grocery Store in Chilliwack, where she proudly became head cashier. Mom met Dad, her future husband, at a friend’s wedding, Dad then went overseas with the Air Force and on his safe return they reunited and were married on August 21, 1948. Dad then took his city bride to the X-J Ranch in Deadman Creek where Mom soon learned how to become a country girl. After spending a couple of years at the X-J Ranch, they moved to Clinton to work at the Pollard Ranch. Between 1950 – 1952 Mom and Dad lived between Lac La Hache and Savona and in 1952 Dad went to work for West Coast Transmission, where he spent 28 years with the company. In those years, Mom and Dad were transferred many times from Savona to Fort Nelson and back again. Mom stayed at home and raised all four of us children, often on her own as Dad travelled a lot with his job.
SchoeningFuneralService.com
Mom and Dad were very involved with our lives growing up. As a family, we did a lot of camping, fishing, hunting, snowmobiling and they were also very active in all of our horse activities; horse shows, gymkhanas and later rodeoing. Mom and Dad retired to Savona in 1980 where they enjoyed many years being involved in the community. In their retirement, they put many miles on their RV, fishing, hunting and camping with friends and family. After Dads passing, Mom moved to Desert Gardens Seniors Centre in Kamloops. It was a special home to her where she and her very dear friend Margy, along with numerous other friends spent many hours volunteering, they had a lot fun with much laughter. Mom loved people and she loved to visit with everyone. We will all miss Mom and her wonderful smile, but know she’s at peace with Dad where she truly wanted to be. Mom and Dad’s favourite saying to all they met on their travels over the years was:
“We live by the highway in Savona, drop in anytime for a coffee or a drink” AND SO MANY DID! A celebration of Mom’s life will be planned this spring and it will be announced in the paper at a later date.

Mardele Lorraine Le Blanc 1979 - 2017
Mardele was born on May 21, 1979 in New Westminster, BC 3 weeks overdue...she died at home on Thursday, December 21, 2017 in Kamloops...50 years too soon from a pulmonary embolism. She is survived by her husband Chad, their sons Keegan age 14, Christian age 10 and Logan 9. Mardele was a fierce defender of her children and a magnificent hockey mom for Keegan who plays with the KMHA. The night after her death, Keegan dug deep, attended his game and scored two goals in memory of his mom. Our sincere thanks to Dr. Odubote and Dr. Nair who did their best to help her with her health and wellbeing. She was admitted to RIH a couple of weeks ago due to the embolisms. She seemed very proud of herself for getting released from ICU (very likely against doctor’s orders) but that was our girl; she needed to get ready for Christmas so that the boys weren’t disappointed. Our thanks to the paramedics and firemen who worked so hard to bring her back. Your efforts will be forever appreciated. Mardele is survived by her mother-in-law Brenda (Bob) and her sisters-in-law Tammy (Al) as well as Kim (Mike) and their families. Mardele is also survived by her mother and father Sharon and David, her brother Nathan (Cherie) from Airdrie, Alberta. She is further survived by her uncles Howard (Valerie), Jim (Wendi), Jack, Don (Sherry) and Bill (Josie), auntie Jenny and their families. She is predeceased by her father-in-law Leonard, her uncle Dan and aunt Florence. Mardele’s love for her family and plethora of friends was exceeded only by her love of all animals, great and small. Her unexpected death has broken our hearts and robbed us of her goofy sense of humour and fierce loyalty. Three roses honey. We will love you forever. A Memorial Service for Mardele will take place at 1:00 pm on Friday, December 29, 2017 at St. Andrew’s Lutheran Church, 815 Renfrew Avenue, Kamloops, BC. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com
