Kamloops couple ‘overwhelmed’ by support from city Donations pour in after story in KTW JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
KTW FILE PHOTO Cody Foster was found dead in this east Kamloops RV park on Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017. Stephen George Fraser was subsequently charged with one count of second-degree murder, and his preliminary inquiry is underway in Kamloops provincial court.
Hearings underway for accused in 2017 murder in east Kamloops RV TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A preliminary inquiry is underway in Kamloops provincial court for a man accused of murder in an alleged altercation in an RV park nearly 12 months ago. Cody Foster, 26, was found dead following an incident in an RV park in the 9000-block of Dallas Drive, just east of the BC Wildlife Park. Stephen George Fraser, 56, was arrested a short time later and has
been in custody since facing one count of second-degree murder. Fraser’s preliminary inquiry got underway this week and is scheduled to conclude on Friday. Preliminary inquiries are hearings after which a judge determines whether there is enough evidence to proceed to trial, and allegations presented at them are protected by publication bans. At the time of the alleged murder, a resident in the park told KTW the victim lived in the park and the incident took place in a
trailer on the property. Police said they were called to the park at about 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 11, 2017, for a report of a disturbance. Investigators have said they arrived to find a group of people holding Fraser down. Foster’s body was found nearby. An area of the park was subsequently cordoned off by police tape. Forensic officers could be seen emerging from a trailer while plainclothes detectives roamed the park speaking to potential witnesses.
VOLUNTEER NOW
Bob and Laurie Bruce spent much of Friday afternoon in tears. “Overwhelmed and in tears,” Bob told KTW. “What broke the ice — things [donations] were coming in, realizing this trip is going to be possible, which is a necessary trip — we got a call from our landlord that broke our hearts. He basically said our rent is paid until March 1.” “As soon as I heard that, I just broke out in tears,” Laurie added. The Bruce family has been grappling with an unthinkable situation: How to afford a trip to the Lower Mainland for Laurie to receive treatment for ovarian cancer at Vancouver General Hospital. Bob said he was skeptical at first about speaking to KTW because a GoFundMe campaign raised only a couple hundred dollars in a month. “I don’t want to say bad words like giving up hope, but I was close,” Bob said. “I withheld my emotions and my feelings and I didn’t know what to do. I had no idea what we were going to do.”
A story ran in Friday’s edition of KTW detailing the Bruce family’s financial situation and the community response has been swift. Added to HopeAir flights and waived rent, the GoFundMe campaign has since raised more than $3,600. Another $1,100 has been dropped off at the KTW office for the family. “I can’t explain. There’s no words to explain what this has done for Laurie’s future,” Bob said. “We have the ability to go ahead now and do what’s needed to be done.” Multiple others have called to offer support to the family in other ways: From taking care of their dog, Lotto, to replacing Laurie’s aging sleep apnea machine and sharing personal cancer stories. “We had one call yesterday from a gentleman who said he donated and said, ‘I just want you to know, you’re not alone.’ He said, ‘If you need anything, if you need a ride anywhere, you call me,’” Laurie said. “I thought, wow . . . . Now, I’m just at the point where I’m going, it’s going to be done, over with. Thank God.” The family will travel to Vancouver in early February.

CHRIS CHAN Hi! I’m Chris, Kamloops resident for over 30 years and rugby enthusiast. For me, being a member of this community is a lot like being in a rugby team. We all look after each other, we are proud of who we are, and no one gets left behind. It’s important for me and my family to support our community, not only through excellent groups such as the Royal LePage Shelter Foundation, Kamloops Pride and Rotary but we also buy local produce, support local eateries and sample our local wineries as much as we can! That’s why I believe that when it comes to buying and selling your house, choosing a local member of the community is important as well. Choose an agent that is on your team.

LOCAL NEWS
Man arrested after stolen truck located A man is in custody after an RCMP dog tracked his scent to a stolen pickup truck found abandoned in North Kamloops on Monday, police say. Mounties were called to Butler Auto Sales on Tranquille Road just before 11 a.m. for a report of a stolen pickup truck. The vehicle was spotted by police, but it fled the area. The truck was found abandoned in the area of Kent Avenue and Cornwall Street, police said. A 22-year-old suspect was arrested nearby. The investigation is ongoing.
Lawyers slam ‘de facto expulsion’ of student guilty of sexual interference THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — The Criminal Trial Lawyers’ Association is criticizing what it calls the de facto expulsion of a University of Calgary student convicted of a sexual offence. Connor Neurauter pleaded guilty to sexual interference with a minor in Kamloops in November and was sentenced
this month to 90 days in jail. The case stoked outrage because the judge allowed him to delay all but one day of his sentence to May 4 — once Neurauter had completed his semester at the university. The university has said it does not have the grounds to outright expel Neurauter, but that he has been advised not to return this semester and
would be escorted away if he tried. The lawyers’ group called the university’s move an act of cowardice and denial of fundamental due process. It said it does not defend Neurauter’s criminal acts, but questioned whether he should be branded an offender forever or given the opportunity to reintegrate into society.
“Allowing Mr. Neurauter to continue his education does not hurt society — it helps it,’’ Daniel Chivers, president of the Criminal Trial Lawyers’ Association, said in an open letter to the University of Calgary’s board of governors. On Tuesday, the university said it has been in communication with Neurauter about options to pursue his studies.

It has long been our dream to develop a sports sedan that would not only thrill, but also comfortably go the distance and impress upon arrival. After years of refining the all-new 2018 Stinger, we’ve combined a powerful 365-horsepower, twin-turbocharged V6 and standard all-wheel drive with a first-class interior to make that dream a reality.
You will learn how to make a small quilt in this one-day workshop. This will be a step-by-step process with useful information along the way about how to pick fabric for building quilts. A complete list of fabrics and equipment is available upon registration. Each student must bring a sewing machine in good working order.

MARCHING FOR WOMEN
Dozens of marchers took to the streets of downtown Kamloops on Saturday for the 2018 Women’s March. Similar events were staged in cities across North America to coincide with the one-year anniversary of the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump. Following the marches, huge crowds gathered on Sunday on multiple continents. Events were held in London, Paris, Sydney, Madrid and Buenos Aires, among other cities.

The Kamloops Library will close at the end of February for its first major renovation since opening in 1998. The $350,000 modernization project began between Christmas and New Year’s Day and will continue with the larger and final portion of the renovations this spring. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has approved the library’s final day of service on Feb. 28. “It’s a really exciting change for

Kamloops and for our library system,” chief librarian Judy Moore told KTW. While final details have yet to be released, Moore confirmed plans to include space for an 880-square-foot cafe in the eastern corner of the building on Victoria Street. The cafe will open onto the plaza at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue. The main floor collections will also be reorganized, along with a consolidated computer area, all built around a revamped customer-service desk. “We’re looking at our services
and our programming effort and really looking at this as a real launching point for a library modernization,” Moore said. A number of staff will be reassigned from the downtown library to the North Kamloops location to support higher volume and help implement digital initiatives and self-checkouts at all TNRD libraries. Other staff will provide project support. The Kamloops Art Gallery will remain open while the library is closed. KAG executive director Margaret Chrumka said the library closure might dip gallery
visitor numbers slightly, but she expects the renovations to ultimately draw more interest. She noted larger galleries with social spaces to sit down, have a cup of coffee and reflect. “I’m delighted for the TNRD that they’re able to move forward with this initiative,” Chrumka said. “I think it will be great for the community.” The library is expected to reopen on April 9. In the past 20 years, the library has seen only modest improvements, such as paint, carpet and maintenance projects.

KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Police east of Kamloops are searching for a suspect after an armed holdup on Sunday at a Chase grocery store. Investigators believe a man entered the Chase Groceteria at about 6:30 p.m. and pulled a knife, demanding money from an employee. “After receiving money, the suspect left on foot,” RCMP Cpl. Scott Linklater said. The suspect is described as a First Nations man standing fivefoot-six with a medium build. He was wearing a black hoodie with grey pants and a red handkerchief covering his face. Anyone with information can call Chase Mounties at 250-6793221 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.
Police are hoping to track down this masked man believed to have robbed the Chase Groceteria on Sunday.
Westsyde home searched in relation to Dallas seizures Police saying little about what they found during search KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Police are keeping tightlipped about what they found while executing a search warrant in connection with a Dallas home in which investigators located multiple guns and two homemade bombs. Mounties have said the warrant was executed at a home in Westsyde on Friday in relation to discoveries allegedly made ear-
lier last week in Dallas. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the owner of the Westsyde property was the tenant of the Badger Drive home in Dallas, which originally came to the attention of police when a home invasion was reported on Jan. 16 by neighbours. Inside the home, investigators noticed firearms in plain sight, Shelkie said, and obtained a search warrant. Mounties have

THE ARTS CAN PROLONG YOUR LIFE
K
amloops is known nationwide and beyond as the Tournament Capital of Canada — and for good reason. The city hosts 100-plus sports tournaments most years, with the events bringing in untold millions to the local economy. That brand is invaluable and is ingrained in the DNA of this city of 90,000. But Kamloops also has a vibrant arts scene, one that offers a dizzying array of options year-round, as can be found with the creations delivered by myriad groups: Western Canada Theatre, Kamloops Art Gallery, Kamloops Museum and Archives, Thompson Rivers University, Chimera Theatre and on and on and on it goes. There are few cities of similar size in B.C. that offer such a smorgasbord of arts and cultural events. That fact is reinforced each year with the Mayor’s Gala for the Arts, a perennially sold-out event that honours the best this city has to offer on the arts stage. The latest gala was held this past weekend at the Kamloops Coast Hotel and Conference Centre and saw nominees showcased and winners honoured. The arts in Kamloops has a significant monetary value, but more importantly, it can actually improve — and, possibly — lengthen lives. Consider the 2016 paper by James Hoffman, professor emeritus of theatre at Thompson Rivers University, entitled What Does the Audience Get? Valuing the Arts in Kamloops — and Beyond. Hoffman cites a Hill Strategies study that lists six intrinsic impacts a live performance can have on a patron: captivation, intellectual stimulation, emotional resonance, spiritual value, aesthetic growth and social bonding. In addition, the study found, “a workplace with pieces of art on display can reduce stress and also reduce the rate of turnover of the employees,” adding that “attendance at cultural events, reading books or periodicals, making music or singing in a choir appeared to reduce the risks of mortality within the time period of the study.” So, perhaps make plans to take a music lesson, catch a comedy show at a local pub or slip into your neighbourhood school’s gym to watch a play — it will do your health good.

Make dispensaries legit
T
he impending legalization in Canada of nonmedical adult-use cannabis is the subject of much debate, excitement and worry. It also brings with it opportunity, no greater example of that being my decision to join a licensed producer of medical cannabis that is gearing up for the change in the landscape this summer. Apart from the financial opportunity, I was drawn to this sector because of the extremely interesting science behind the plant itself and the equally interesting public policy challenge it engenders. We see this at the national level, where Bill C-45 has yet to undergo Senate debate; at the provincial level, where the distribution and retailing model needs to be designed; and at the local level, where councils must create a regulatory environment that is enforceable and protects the public interest. I attended the public hearing in Kamloops on the zoning bylaw changes proposed as a first step in this process and was not surprised to hear the concerns of current operators of illegal dispensaries and their customers, who felt the action was aimed at putting them out of business. The dispensaries arose because the federal government of the day created a medical cannabis system that is less than optimal for patients. The B.C. health minister at the time, Margaret McDiarmid,
What do you think? Should current dispensaries be grandfathered into new bylaws with marijuana legalization?
Email us at: editor@kamloopsthisweek.com
TERRY LAKE Guest
SHOT encouraged Ottawa to have local outlets that would serve patients in person, but instead we have a more cumbersome system that only allows for home delivery of medical cannabis. Nonetheless, many Canadians, such as former Kamloopsian Adam Miron, cofounder of the company that employs me, diligently pursued a licence to grow and sell medical cannabis, taking on not only a tremendous workload, but also considerable financial risk. Meanwhile some saw the opportunity created by the lack of in-person dispensaries and, despite breaking the law, opened unlicensed businesses that have in large part served the public’s needs while making considerable profits. Now city council is attempting to put the genie back in the bottle so that when retail sales of adult-use cannabis is legal, there are controls over site, form and function of these outlets. That is their responsibility and anything less would be abdicating that responsibility.
Retail liquor outlets are subject to zoning restrictions, including the distance between such businesses. While they can seek a variance, as in the famous Save-OnFoods/B.C. wine example, this is all subject to a public hearing and lots of public debate. Similar rules should logically apply to the retail sale of adult-use cannabis. I hope the provincial government finds a pathway for some of the current dispensary operators to become legitimate businesses in the new regime and that they will be able to meet local bylaws that are part of good community planning processes. Meanwhile, I think we should recognize the good job Kamloops council has done on behalf of its residents and businesses. Terry Lake is former mayor of Kamloops, former KamloopsNorth MLA and former minister of environment and health. He is now vice-president of corporate and social responsibility at Hydropothecary Corp., a Health Canadaauthorized producer of medical marijuana based in Quebec.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
[speak up]
RE-OPEN SCHOOL FOR OUTDOOR LEARNING Editor: Chase’s primary school building has remained closed for a number of years. There is a potential option for re-opening the school providing there is sufficient parent interest. The Chase primary property is an ideal location for a Kamloops-Thompson school district outdoor learning school — a school of choice for all families with elementary-aged children residing in the district. School district officials in Salmon Arm have recently approved the opening of such a school. The site happens to be a
vacant elementary school. More than 80 students have committed to enrol to date. A district survey indicated more than 500 families expressed an interest to enrol. That shows there is strong interest for this educational option. Parents in Chase and throughout the SD73 area, please visit the North OkanaganShuswap SD83 website. It is an excellent initial resource to learn about and understand the philosophy and vision of outdoor learning schools. Following are just a handful
of reasons why I believe this is feasible: • There is a vacant school building. • No such facility exists in the SD73 area. The McQueen Lake outdoor learning centre is structured for short-stay school visits only. A standalone school would further compliment the centre. • The site has close proximity to outstanding four-season landand water-based outdoor learning opportunities. SD73 district staff have provided a process for opening a school of choice.
Following is a brief summary of the initial process: • Gather all parents within Chase and the district interested in this educational option. • Prepare a thorough plan, including number of interested parents and number of committed parents to date. • Once finalized, ask to make a formal presentation to the SD73 board. A Working Committee could accomplish this with a goal of opening another school of choice in SD73. Brian David Chase
STOLEN ITEMS NATIONAL NON-SMOKING WEEK AGGRESSIVE ACTION NEEDED ON TOBACCO USE RETURNED Editor: I recently wrote a letter stating that while my dad was at the North Shore YMCA he had his jacket, keys and gym bag stolen. I am happy to say someone turned the items in to the Y. I hope someone grew a conscience and did what was right. I am still upset that the incident took place and caused my dad a lot of stress. But I want to also thank the culprit for returning everything back to him. Kathleen Dunn Kamloops
Editor: What is Canada’s leading preventable cause of disease and death? It’s tobacco. This week is National NonSmoking Week, providing a reminder that tobacco is still our number one public health issue. Smoking kills 45,000 Canadians every year and is responsible for about 30 per cent of all cancer deaths. Based on the number of Canadians it kills, tobacco should be treated as an epidemic.
It is well established that comprehensive, well-financed and sustained government strategies are highly effective at reducing smoking. With the current Federal Tobacco Control Strategy expiring in March 2018, we urge federal Minister of Health Ginette Petitpas Taylor to bring forward an aggressive new strategy with
far better funding to achieve the goal of less than 5 per cent tobacco use by 2035. Canada has made significant progress, but an enormous amount of work remains. The lives of a vast number of Canadians hang in the balance. Rob Cunningham senior policy analyst Canadian Cancer Society

“I will miss the library whilst it is being renovated. I am an avid reader and enjoy browsing the shelves to see what is on offer. “I use an e-reader sometimes, but I still love an actual book! I won’t bother going to the North Shore to use the library, I will just download more e-books and wait for the re-opening downtown. “Our library offers a very diverse set of services, it is no longer just about choosing a book to read. I am looking forward to seeing the library with its makeover.” — posted by Doreen Harrison

Council votes down McParland motion on snow removal recipient COMMUNITY
Cavers wanted city to study practices in similar locations ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops city councillors have voted down a motion to reassess how snow clearing is carried out. Councillors voted 7-1 against a motion to have staff study how snow is cleared in other communities and assess capacity of staff and equipment to provide various levels of clearing service, with most defending the city’s current practice and suggesting residents need to expect some snow days each year. Only Coun. Donovan Cavers, who made the motion, voted for it. Coun. Denis Walsh was absent due to illness. Coun. Tina Lange said the motion, which would have asked staff to bring a report on snow clearing practices locally and elsewhere back to council, would likely lead to council being asked to spend more money. “I am not going to support an increase in taxes, which
would have to be very significant to do anything,” she said. At a suggestion from Coun. Arjun Singh — who eventually voted against the motion for being “too prescriptive” — that the city should reassess its services due to an aging population, Lange said residents have other options in snowy weather, including HandyDART bus service and taxis, but there are also days when residents shouldn’t expect to get outside. “There are going to be days when people are going to be housebound, and that’s a reality,” she said. Mayor Ken Christian said residents also need to adjust behaviours and expectations on some days. “There are snow days. There are days you shouldn’t be out,” he said. “There are days it’s unsafe to be out. And I have been recorded many times over the past month encouraging the residents of Kamloops to slow down . . . and as many times as you say that you still have people phoning up because
they got a fender bender and it’s the City of Kamloops’ fault.” Coun. Dieter Dudy suggested the city could be looking at another 1.5 per cent increase in taxes if it were to try to increase snow clearing services, or remove windrows from streets. “We are just going to have to learn to deal with the fact that we live in an area that gets snow sometimes,” he said. Cavers said his motion didn’t suggest removing windrows or a specific change to city service levels. “This is to let them make sure they still have the resources to do the job we’re asking them to do,” he said. Despite the defeat, snow clearing conversation may return to city hall in the coming months. Public works director Jen Fretz said some staffers will attend a U.S. snow clearing convention in May to learn about approaches to dealing with the white stuff across North America.

Tsunami fears send B.C. residents to higher ground Warning ends after underwater quake off coast of Alaska TERRI THEODORE BETH LEIGHTON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — A tsunami warning issued for coastal British Columbia was cancelled Tuesday morning after people living along parts of the province’s coast evacuated to higher ground when a powerful earthquake struck off Alaska. Residents in some coastal communities were woken by warning sirens shortly after the quake with a magnitude of 7.9 struck at about 1:30 a.m. Pacific time. The quake was centred 278 kilometres southeast of Kodiak in the Gulf of Alaska at a depth of about 10 kilometres. Public Safety Minister Mike Farnworth said several communities activated their emergency plans and evacuated those at risk as the provincial emergency co-ordination centre and five regional operations centres were also mobilized. In low-lying areas of Victoria and Esquimalt, officials went door-to-door telling people to evacuate, while elsewhere sirens
and text alerts were used to get the warning out, he said in an interview. An alert was still in place hours after the initial warning, which means there may be higher wave action in low-lying areas along the coast, Farnworth said. “Although the tsunami warning was eventually suspended, this event demonstrates that coast warning systems do work,’’ he said. Patricia Leidl, communications director with Emergency Preparedness BC, said there was a three centimetre wave and a 15 centimetre rise in sea level hours after the quake at Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The tsunami warning covered B.C.’s north coast, Haida Gwaii, the west coast of Vancouver Island, the central coast and northeast Vancouver Island, and along the Juan de Fuca Strait. People were told to evacuate inland or to higher ground, or move to an upper floor of a multi-story building, depending on individual situations. Gillian Der, a University of British Columbia geography student who is studying in Queen
Charlotte on Haida Gwaii, said she didn’t feel the earthquake. “I just heard the fire trucks going around, honking their horns and on the loud speaker saying there is a tsunami warning,” she said. “It was very apocalyptic. So I was just running up the street to the muster station, up the big hill.’’ Earth sciences Prof. Brent Ward of Simon Fraser University said the quake was a strike-slip earthquake, where the plates slip sideways past each other. “To get a tsunami, you have to have vertical movement of the sea floor and that more often occurs in what we call a thrust fault, usually in a subduction zone, where one of the plates is moving over top of the other,’’ he said. Ward said when a plate moves up very quickly, that displaces the water above it, setting off a tsunami. “It looks as though this earthquake was triggered on what we would call a transcurrent fault in the oceanic plate that is going underneath North America,’’ he said.

Fire extinguished after truck and rail car collide THE CANADIAN PRESS
PORT COQUITLAM — A spectacular explosion and fire, fuelled by ethanol, has been allowed to burn out in Port Coquitlam. Residents were forced from the neighbourhood, a local mall was evacuated and the nearby Lougheed Highway was closed for several hours Monday night when a tanker truck collided with a rail engine, fire chief Nick Delmonico said Tuesday. The crash between the double tanker and the rail engine happened inside the Canadian Pacific Rail yard at about 7 p.m. Monday, he said. The truck’s tank was split open and a spark from somewhere set off a blast and fire, Delmonico added. “These fires are extremely dangerous. Obviously because initially, most times, you don’t know what the product is until you get there,’’ he said.
“Sometimes it takes some detective work to find out what it exactly is, so you’re always concerned about both the explosive level of something like that and also toxicity for first responders.’’ The chief said the railway presents one of their biggest potentials for hazard in the city and they train for it accordingly. Delmonico said they decided to allow the fire to consume the highly flammable liquid. “We kind of let it burn until the fuel level was quite low then we did what’s called a flare. We bumped the car to try to get it to spill out a little bit, which it did, and opened it up, and then we were able to put it out at that point,’’ he explained. No one was injured. Coquitlam RCMP Cpl. Michael McLaughlin said police are investigating the incident.

The company’s notice did not say how many Bell customers were affected, but some media reports say the total could be 100,000. Bell said the information consisted primarily of names and email addresses and that there’s no indication that any credit card, banking or other information was accessed. A Bell Canada executive vice-president, John Watson, apologized on behalf of the company. Watson also said additional security, authentication and identification requirements have been implemented. The announcement came eight months after Bell Canada revealed that an anonymous hacker had obtained some customers’ personal data.

Mounties allege sex abuse by RCMP doctor MICHAEL TUTTON ALISON AULD
Incidents alleged to have taken place between 1981 and 2003
HALIFAX — Police in Halifax are investigating allegations that RCMP members and recruits were sexually assaulted by a doctor at the Mounties’ health clinic in Nova Scotia over two decades. The force’s commanding officer in Nova Scotia, Assistant Commissioner Brian Brennan, said in a note to officers that several employees have come forward
and he expects “many more’’ in the months ahead. “I am at a loss for words as I write this message to you. To say I’m shocked and disheartened doesn’t seem like enough,’’ Brennan wrote. “This is an extremely devastating time for those who have shared their trauma and are reliving this, and I am beyond unsettled to think that an individual who this organization
THE CANADIAN PRESS
entrusted abused their position of power.’’ The RCMP said the incidents occurred between October 1981 and July 2003 at the RCMP health services office in the Halifax suburb of Bedford. Assistant Commissioner Stephen White, the force’s acting chief human resources officer, said in an email to members that the allegations involved a doctor who
conducted recruitment medical examinations and periodic health assessments on members. “We understand that the individual has retired from practising medicine,’’ White wrote. White and Brennan both urged anyone with knowledge of the alleged sexual assaults to contact Halifax Regional Police and to seek help from the RCMP’s medical staff and psychologists.
Const. Carol McIsaac, spokeswoman for Halifax police, says an investigation was opened after the allegations were brought to their attention late last week. “The investigation is in the very early stages and is fluid at this time,’’ she said in an email. “While we are unable to provide a specific number, we can confirm that we have received a number of calls so far.’’ An RCMP spokeswoman said the allegations were shared with senior managers last fall.
Legal marijuana shops could boost real estate, experts say THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — While some Canadian landlords are looking to ban marijuana use in their rental units and several municipalities don’t want legal cannabis stores in their neighbourhoods, a U.S. study suggests that pot could lift property values. Property prices for homes in Colorado close to shops that converted to recreational marijuana from medical marijuana in 2014 saw a roughly eight per cent boost, the study by professors based in Wisconsin, Georgia and California found. Experts have said it’s too early to tell if Canadian homeowners can expect a similar effect, but note that retail locations could benefit neighbourhoods by driving foot traffic to merchants, as well as reducing crime.
The president of the Canadian Federation of Apartment Associations said landlords should be allowed to prohibit marijuana usage in their properties in Ontario, where a proposed provincial law will limit pot consumption to private residences. That comes after the Ontario government in December appeared to backtrack on its earlier statement that municipalities could not opt out of hosting marijuana stores as a City of Richmond Hill, Ont., committee unanimously endorsed a statement saying it was not willing to have one in its community. Queen’s University real estate professor John Andrew said a legal cannabis store could potentially drive more customer traffic to nearby retailers, boosting interest in the surrounding area that may eventually spillover into the residential neighbourhood.

A new name and look are coming to Hotel 540 in downtown Kamloops. The Victoria Street property will become a Delta Hotel by April 2019 after parent company National Hospitality Group signed a franchise agreement with Marriott International. General manager Bryan Pilbeam said the move won’t lead to a change in management or ownership of the hotel, but will require extensive renovations to the building at 540 Victoria St. Renovations will take place over the winter of 2018-2019, Pilbeam said, and will require the hotel to close for several months, likely beginning around November. “It’s a multi-million dollar, extensive renovation,” he said. “It’s going to be all of our guest rooms, all of our hallways, changes to our lobby, some of our public spaces. It’s pretty much a
Report Card Day for Investors Whether we are in school, sports, working or investing, we are judged on our results. Often, clients will sit down at our face-to-face meetings and ask, “Are we making any money?” or “How are we doing?” We view our role like your personal Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and are accountable to you as our "President." Furthermore, we feel it is important that investors have some framework on how to evaluate their results.
Next, we would like to explain absolute versus relative performance. We often joke that clients want absolute returns in bad markets and relative in great markets. Absolute returns are striving for positive results 100% of the time. Whereas relative returns are compared to a benchmark. For example, according to Morningstar in 2017, the TSX returned 9.1% and many investors will compare their portfolio against this result.
First of all, we cannot stress this enough, results should be measured to your specific goals, not the latest stock market report. Everyone has different goals. We believe investment strategies need to be adapted to fit your unique set of circumstances and risk tolerance. You should have a plan and ultimately know if you are on track, behind or ahead. According to the Financial Planning Standards Council, investors with a plan are twice more likely to achieve their goals than those without one.
One of our “10 Core Beliefs” is to help reduce risk and potentially protect on the downside. Many investors would be quite happy with their 2016 and 2017 returns because they are positive; however, we would like to point out that as an advisor, we are more concerned of their portfolio performance in a down market, such as 2015 when the TSX returned -8.3%. We believe that we helped protect their wealth relative to what happened in the markets. We would also like to highlight that you can achieve better long-term results by protecting on the downside. As is the case in life, there are trade-offs. With respect to returns, you may have to give up some upside in order to help protect your investments when the next correction occurs. This is a risk-return trade-off we concede regularly. Most investors would

like the +9.1% the TSX returned in 2017, but would the same investors like the -8.3% return as well? A final thought: One pitfall investors can fall prey to is the herd mentality. If everyone is starting to buy higher risk investments, that can be a warning sign. Look at marijuana stocks. Many are up over 300% in as little in 4 months. It seems like everyone wants to get in on the action. The excitement and fear of missing out seems to be the motivation versus investing to one's goals and risk tolerance. At the time of writing this, Canopy Growth, Canada's largest marijuana company, recently suffered a 23% price drop in two days. When you picture a 300% ride up, this could be a telling sign of what the ride down could look like. Historically speaking, when investor confidence is at the highest, that is when it is time to move opposite to the herd. Something to think about as you evaluate your portfolio and plan for 2018.

Masters of Finance Meet new BIA heads BUSINESS
We’ve got some issues in Tranquille “which I think are going to be largely

I
f there’s a single fact the new heads of Kamloops’ business improvement associations are united on, it’s this: It’s a great time to be in their respective areas. Both Jeremy Heighton, who took over as head of the North Shore Business Improvement Association earlier this month, and Carl DeSantis, who joined the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association this week, say there’s plenty to be optimistic about on either side of the river. “There’s a lot of projects that are just being discussed or talked about or approved. We’ve got Brock [Shopping] centre which is doing extremely well. We’ve got the corner there on Eighth Street, which is doing pretty well,” Heighton said. “We’ve got some issues in Tranquille which I think are going to be largely resolved by some of the steps we’re taking. So it’s a matter of taking the community forward.” DeSantis, meanwhile, said he hopes to tell more positive stories about downtown Kamloops and highlight what the neighbourhood has to offer. “You look at the events downtown, and that’s something I think we really need to showcase. Music in the Park downtown — wow. I’ve been to that so many times and I absolutely love going down there. And it’s free entertainment,” he said. “You look at the activities for people of all ages, the pool, the waterfront. To have a waterfront with so much activity in the downtown core, where else does that happen?” DeSantis said he also hopes to encourage more business development to go along with a number of new housing projects, both affordable and market, expected to bring more residents to the area. He also wants to push the area as a tourist destination. A Calgary police officer for 30 years before founding a justice studies program at Bow Valley College, DeSantis said the KCBIA position may seem like a shift, but draws on many of the skills he used in both previous roles, including marketing and building relationships with the community. “I want to meet people,” he said. “I want to wander around and shake hands and listen to people’s stories, and that is paramount to this position. It’s about developing and sustaining all these relationships.” Heighton, previously the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce membership co-ordinator and a North Shore resident for 20 years, comes to the job after a tumultuous summer in the city’s core areas. A survey of its members released by the BIA in September showed 78 per cent of business owners were dealing with loitering and drug use around their properties and 59 per cent of customers who responded were also concerned about those issues. The survey also pointed to concerns around rising graffiti and vandalism. Asked how he sees the NSBIA responding to such issues, Heighton said a newly announced affordable housing project in the Tranquille

— JEREMY HEIGHTON, North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director
Market, which will include round-the-clock support services, will resolve some of the area’s concerns. He sees his association’s job as making sure businesses have as much information as they need. “It’s a step,” he said. “It’s a step in the right direction and the alternative is we do nothing, and that’s not acceptable either. We have to find as a community a way to help people transition out of poverty.” Heighton said his goal for the organization is to look at what will improve the North Shore over a longer term — 30 years rather than three to five — though what specific changes will be coming to the organization will come after a round of strategic planning in the near future. Heighton said his biggest question to the community will be what residents and business owners want the area to become. “It’s a matter of taking the community forward and finding ways to create more vibrancy here,” he said. “Maybe it’s a little more densification, maybe it’s some more commercial opportunities, maybe there’s more social services opportunities.” DAVE EAGLES PHOTOS/KTW

Heighton expects affordable housing and round-the-clock support to resolve loitering and drug use in the Tranquille Market, a concern raised by business owners in the fall. Meanwhile, Carl DeSantis (left) worked for 30 years as a police officer in Calgary and founded a justice program at Bow Valley College before taking on the role of executive director for the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association.

Both the North Shore Business Improvement Association (NSBIA) and Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association (KCBIA) are supported by property tax levies paid by commercial property owners within the associations’ geographic boundaries. The levy must be re-approved every five years, at which time the area encompassed by the BIA can also be redrawn. KCBIA’s levy was renewed last year. The NSBIA is up for renewal this year.

HOW TO AVOID OUTLIVING YOUR RETIREMENT SAVINGS
HOW ANNUITIES CAN HELP KEEP RETIREMENT FUNDS GOING STRONG. OUTLIVING RETIREMENT SAVINGS is an uncomfortable scenario that nobody wants to contemplate. But after spending much of their working lives saving for retirement, many Canadians may end up needing a larger nest egg than anticipated. Thanks to modern medicine, life expectancy is getting longer. Today, a 55-year-old can expect to live to the age of 84 – that’s nine years longer than a 55-year-old alive in 1925. Despite this good news, one of the realities of living longer is paying for those extra years of retirement. Volatile financial markets can wreak havoc on savings, inflation can reduce purchasing power, and pension plans that guarantee payments for life are less and less common. Significantly fewer Canadians have registered pension plans (RPPs) than in the past: 40 per cent of employed women are covered by defined benefit RPPs, and only 37 per cent of employed men. And that means that healthy, vital and long-lived retirees may run the risk of outliving their savings, putting that worry-free retirement further out of reach. It is not all doom and gloom, however. Investment options like annuities can mitigate some of that risk, and help ensure retirement savings last as long as needed. They’re not for everyone, but for some, annuities can be a great addition to a retirement income strategy.

A conventional life annuity is an investment that provides
guaranteed income payments for your lifetime (with the option of having payments continue to your spouse or beneficiaries after your death). Through this type of insurance contract, in exchange for a lump-sum deposit of capital, an insurer makes regular income payments to you that contain both interest and principal. Annuities also provide a way to set up a do-it-yourself pension plan by letting you defer payments. Let’s say you want to lock some money into an annuity today, but don’t want income payments to begin until five years down the road. During those five years, the entire principal annuity investment earns interest, which increases the payment amount later on. There’s also an advantage to annuities when it comes to taxation, depending on age and the source of the annuity’s capital. If purchased by someone 65 or older, the annuity’s income usually qualifies for the pension income tax credit and for pension income splitting. If purchased using non-registered funds (that is, money you have already paid income tax on), only the interest portion of the payment is taxable, since the rest of the payment consists of a return of your invested principal. Because interest income can be averaged over the lifetime of the annuity, there is an element of tax deferral (some conditions apply). Of course, life annuities come in all shapes and sizes, with a wide variety of options. But in essence, you invest a lump sum and receive payments for life. The longer you live, the more payments you receive, and the better the investment payoff.
Your Retirement Plan must contain 3 key ingredients. • Flexibility – to be able to change your investments As your Personal needs change, As tax laws change, As the economy changes. • A co-ordinated use of both Asset Allocation and Sector Management, to take advantage of both the ups and downs in the markets. • A return that equals or betters the projected return in your Plan or your Plan will not achieve your goals.

IS YOUR PORTFOLIO STACKING UP?
ARE ANNUITIES RIGHT FOR YOU? If you already have a generous employer pension plan with ample income payments, you may not need the benefits of an annuity – once an annuity is purchased, that investment is locked in. Or if you’re in especially poor health, you may not want to count on living long enough to get enough payoff from your principal investment. However, annuities can provide the reassurance that basic expenses will be covered as long as you live. Annuities can be seen as a form of risk management, a way to hedge your bets – to ensure that even if you live longer than expected, you’ll still have payments coming in. Regardless of whether you live to be 75 or 95, an annuity can contribute to a steady retirement income. Annuities are not meant to be used for your entire retirement portfolio, but they can be an important component of an overall plan. Think of them as one tool in your retirement toolbox. In tandem with stocks, bonds and other investment options, they can help you

Advocating for women’s education St. Ann’s Academy student shortlisted for $5,000 scholarship needs online votes ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Catherine Browning grew up knowing she could do anything her male classmates could do. “I always kind of thought that was how everyone grew up,” the Grade 12 St. Ann’s Academy student said. “But I realized, eventually, whoa — no. A lot of people didn’t grow up this way.” Browning is hoping to encourage a conversation about gender equality, both globally and in Canada, with a short video made for SOS Safety Magazine’s annual $5,000 scholarship contest. The B.C.-based magazine encourages high school students to explore social issues in video or essay format, and selected Browning’s video as one of its seven finalists for this year. Browning said a six-week mission trip she took this summer to the east African country of Tanzania got her thinking more about how women and girls are treated by society. As part of the trip, she visited a high school she and other St. Ann’s students helped fundraise to build. “I met one girl and she was in our equivalent to Grade 10, except she was almost 18. And I was like, ‘Why are you in Grade 10.’ And she goes, ‘I have five older brothers,’” Browning said. The student explained her parents had prioritized sending her brothers to school with their limited finances. In her video, Browning set out to talk to other students in both elementary and secondary school about how women’s education is viewed in other parts of the world. She also interviewed students ranging from grades six to 12.

was how everyone grew up. But I realized, eventually, woah — no. A lot of people didn’t grow up this way.
”
— CATHERINE BROWNING, St. Ann’s Academy student
Those interviews also led to new stories. One friend, who spent her summer at an engineering program at UBC Okanagan, talked about how it felt to be one of only two girls in a 20-person program. “This is something she has wanted to do her entire life and yet she was taken back and second-guessed herself because she was one of two girls,” Browning said. “A lot of the girls had interesting stuff to say and some things I’d never even thought of. And I just wanted to share that with people.” In order to win the scholarship, Browning’s video must earn more votes than the other six finalists. Videos are available to view at sossafetymagazine.com/vote-2018/. Voting is conducted via Facebook. Voting is open once every 24 hours until Jan. 31. Once she finishes high school Browning plans to attend UBC, where she’ll focus on gender and women’s studies and African studies. She said she eventually hopes to start a nonprofit to promote women’s education in Africa.

Simpcw First Nation Chief Nathan Matthew is the latest recipient of the Kamloops-Thompson school district’s Owl Award of Excellence in Public Education. The Owl Award acknowledges an individual, group or organization that has provided outstanding service to support public education in the region. Matthew received the award at last week’s board of education meeting. “It is so significant to me to be part of such a great school district,” Matthew said, noting he was administrator at the Kamloops Residential School in 1975 when the Kamloops-Thompson school district began partnering with the school on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. “That’s the first time I can remember the school district doing something for First Nations,” he said. Matthew was nominated for the Owl Award by former school district superintendent Terry Grieve, who noted Matthew’s leadership in helping First Nations students improve academically. Twenty years ago, Matthew noted, the graduation rate in Kamloops-Thompson for First Nations students was about 25 per cent. “It was a daunting task,” he said of working to raise those rates. “Two per cent a year is what we aimed for and that’s about what is has taken.” The latest graduation rate for First Nations students locally is 79 per cent. “And we are getting so close to parity,” board of education chair Meghan Wade said as she presented Matthew with the Owl Award. “That is due in no small part, sir, to your patience, hard work, time and passion.” In receiving the award, Matthew lauded the Kamloops-Thompson school district for its work with First Nations students. “It’s not happening everywhere else in the province,” he said. “Education is transformative. We can make this world a better place if we have options for our young people. This is especially true for First Nations students.” Matthew attended Barriere’s elementary and secondary schools before graduating from UBC with a bachelor of recreation education. He later obtained a professional teachers certificate and a master of education. He has worked as a recreation co-ordinator, as principal of the Sxoxomic school at Esket, as a band planner and as the executive director of Aboriginal education at Thompson Rivers University. Matthew also worked as a community development and education consultant through-

out the province. He sat on the Assembly of First Nation Chiefs committee on education for several years and was active in the development of provincial First Nations educational organizations and programs. He currently chairs the School District 73 First Nations Education Council. Matthew lives in Chu Chua, between Barriere and Little Fort, with wife of 46 years, Marie. The Owl Award of Excellence in Public Education was created through the school board’s long-term plan to recognize outstanding, systemwide contributions to education over an extended period of time that impact students, parents, teachers, support staff and educational leaders across the school district. Matthew is the third recipient of the award, chosen by a five-person selection committee that included Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian, school district superintendent Alison Sidow, former superintendent Terry Sullivan and trustee Joan Cowden. Last year, retired educator Chris Rose received the award for his decades of service. In 2016, the Kamloops North Rotary Club was honoured with the award for its more than 40 years of support and work at the McQueen Lake Environmental Education Centre north of the city. The Owl Award is a statuette of a burrowing owl sculpted by local artist Terry Norlander. The artwork symbolizes wisdom, hope and vision.

HISTORY
Context tells stories behind ancient artifacts A flat rock (left) may look ordinary, but was once used to weigh down the bottom edge of fishing nets. Antler harpoon points (below, right) provide context for the artifact because they were found in the same area near a lake.
CLINTON COATES SPECIAL TO KTW republicofarchaeology.ca
A
rcheologists are story tellers who use scientific methods to assist in chronicling past lives. Context is one of the most powerful tools at our disposal and is a concept so basic it is often overlooked. This instalment of Dig It illustrates this idea using an example from the Southern Interior of B.C. Future instalments will delve deeper into aspects such as stratigraphy, stylistic dating and radiometric dating. Imagine I have passed you a thin, flat, sedimentary rock, about four centimetres by eight centimetres, with what appears to be two notches removed from the sides. It may seem hardly a groundshaking discovery. Since I am an archeologist from Southern Interior B.C., however, you think it might be something more than “just another rock.” In isolation, this object does not provide much information. The story so far, “a little flat rock that might be an artifact” is hardly riveting. However, when we place this artifact in the context of other, similar-looking ones found in archeological sites around the Southern Interior and combine it with information gleaned from ethnographic accounts and traditional First Nations knowledge, it looks like it might have been used to weigh down the bottom edge of fishing nets.
Interested in more? Go online to republicofarchaeology.ca. Now we have the first beginnings of a story. Still, “someone, somewhere, at some time, might have used this rock for fishing,” is a rather bland tale. We now add more layers of information about this artifact. It was found at an archeological site overlooking a lake where fish, including kokanee salmon, lived. It was found in association with more than 40 similar artifacts, all at about the same depth, scattered in a linear fash-
ion for about four metres, perhaps showing where a net was left hanging to dry. In this site, little fish bone was found even though large amounts of deer bone were recovered, suggesting bone preservation would be good. The only other obviously fishing-related artifact was a small antler harpoon point, recovered from a nearby archeological site, also overlooking the lake. Now, we are getting somewhere. We have the foundation of a pretty good story but the

question, “where are all the fish?” still puzzles us. One of the great privileges archeologists have in Canada is working within a complex web of knowledge regarding past lives that extends from living memory, far into the past. Tapping into this treasure of information — through research and talking to local First Nations community members — we find the final keys to the puzzle. First, this area is specifically known as a fishing location.
What’s your

Second, the local cultural practice was, and still is, to return the bones of fish back to the water once processed. Though artifacts are interesting objects in and of themselves, when considered in isolation, they only take us a short way toward understanding the past. This is the underlying reason why it is so important to leave artifacts where they are observed. Without recording the context, archeologists are not story tellers, merely treasure hunters.

‘He didn’t look out of place’ HICKETTS OF KAMLOOPS MADE NHL DEBUT WITH RED WINGS ON MONDAY MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER

F
lattening Nico Hischier was the jitter-expunging moment Joe Hicketts needed in his NHL debut on Monday in
New Jersey. “I thought I played really well tonight,” Joe told Red Wings TV after his Detroit Red Wings blanked the Devils 3-0. “I had some blocked shots and had the hit early on to get my feet wet.” The 21-year-old defenceman played 15:13 of total ice time, finished plus-1 with one hit, three blocked shots and two giveaways. He killed penalties with defensive partner Jonathan Ericsson, finishing with 4:22 of penalty killing time. “I made a couple mistakes, but they were on the side of aggression,” Joe said. “I’d rather play that way than sit back.” Joe’s parents, Mike and LeeGaye Hicketts, heard news their son would realize his NHL dream at about 10 a.m. on Sunday. They were on a plane heading to New Jersey four hours later. “It was pretty surreal, for sure,” Mike said. “Us getting to watch him and be there for it, it’s something you hope happens one day and it finally did. “There were a couple of little bobbles here and there. Could be nerves, but other guys make little bobbles, too. It’s a pretty big adjustment trying to get up to that speed.” Last season, Joe was instrumental in the Grand Rapids Griffins’ run to the American Hockey League championship. He brought the Calder Cup to Kamloops last summer. In 43 games with Grand
DETROIT RED WINGS PHOTO Joe Hicketts of Kamloops made his NHL debut with the Detroit Red Wings on Monday, playing more than 15 minutes of total ice time and finishing plus-1 in a 3-0 win over the Devils in New Jersey. The 21-year-old defenceman was reassigned to the Grand Rapids Griffins on Tuesday afternoon.
Rapids this season, Joe has two goals, 10 points and 26 penalty minutes, along with a minus-10 rating. “You’re proud he finally got here,” Lee-Gaye said. “Every little kid dreams of playing in the NHL one day. I’m relieved and happy he got that opportunity. “Now it’s his job to do what the organization tells him to do. You keep working your butt off every day.” Joe’s parents followed him to Detroit on Tuesday, but he was reassigned to Grand Rapids before the Red Wings played host to the Philadelphia Flyers. They are flying home to
Kamloops on Wednesday. “It was definitely special to have my family here,” Joe said. At 5-foot-8, 180 pounds, the knock on the Kamloops Minor Hockey Association product has always been size, but he continues to prove doubters wrong. Hicketts racked up 32 goals and 173 points in 224 career games over four seasons with the Victoria Royals. He served as captain for the last two seasons with the WHL squad and became the first Royal to play in the NHL (post Chilliwack Bruins days). He was named to Team Canada for the 2015 World Junior Hockey Championship and won

gold in Toronto. He was an alternate captain for Canada at the 2016 world juniors in Finland, where Canada placed sixth. “He’s excelled at every level,” Red Wings’ head coach Jeff Blashill said. “His skill set doesn’t scream NHL in terms of skating, size, body, all that, but he’s proven people wrong his whole life. He was one of the best defencemen when he played for the Canadian world junior team, was out there in big moments.” Hicketts was undrafted, but signed as a free agent by Detroit in September 2014. The Wings lost defenceman Trevor Daley to a lower-
body injury on Saturday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, prompting Hicketts’ call-up. “He didn’t look out of place at all,” Lee-Gaye said. “He proved that he can skate with the big boys.”
No. 10 from Kamloops
Joe Hicketts became the 10th Kamloops-born player to reach the NHL. The other nine are Mark Recchi, Doug Lidster, Bert Marshall, Tim Watters, Don Ashby, Stu Grimson, Rudy Poeschek, Rick Boh and Craig Endean.

a reboot right now to create more awareness,” said Spencer, noting the club was established in 2004, but has not done much advertising in recent years. “We’re trying to reenter the concept of Canadiana, the early, traditional heritage of canoeing and kayaking. It’s about paddling your own watercraft and having the skills to be in control. We teach all the strokes necessary.” There are competitive, fitness and recreational groups within the club, which usually meets twice a week and once on weekends. There are also longer excursions planned about once a month. “We do those excursions over a day and have lunch on the way,” Spencer said. “For example, we’ll go from Savona to Ashcroft, or come down the river from Pritchard.” Home base is Pioneer Park. “This sounds crazy,
but I have run into a lot of folks very timid and fearful of paddling in a small boat,” Spencer said. “TRIPS, when given the opportunity, will help people to face their fears and gain a great deal of confidence doing so.” A six-session learnto-paddle course will be on offer in the City of Kamloops spring activity guide. The course will be held on Tuesdays beginning on April 10. There will also be an open house on April 7, from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. “We’ll get together and take people out,” Spencer said. “We have various types of paddlecraft. We also do bigger canoes, like voyageur canoes.” The club, which is affiliated with the Recreational Canoeing Association of B.C. and CanoeKayak BC, has been hosting races for nearly 20 years.

TORONTO — The Toronto Blue Jays have confirmed the signing of freeagent outfielder Curtis Granderson to a one-year contract worth US$5,000,000. His arrival was first reported a week ago but the American League team made it official Tuesday. “I’m going to be headed up north this year,’’ Granderson said of Toronto in a video posted on social media. “It’s been a great place to play up in Canada. I look forward to it.’’ The 36-year-old Granderson hit .212 in 2017 with 24 doubles, 26 home runs and an OPS (on-base plus slugging) of .775 in 147 games with the New York Mets and Los Angeles Dodgers. The Chicago native, entering his 15th season in the majors, is a three-time all-star (2009, 2011 and 2012) and was the 2016 winner of the Roberto Clemente Award. The award is given annually to the player who best represents the game of baseball through extraordinary character, community involvement, philanthropy and positive contributions, both on and off the field. Granderson previously played for the Detroit Tigers and New York Yankees. The left-handed hitter has a career batting average

Storm crush Eagles, begin KIJHL stretch drive MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
With more than 20 rookies on the roster to start the season, Kamloops Storm owner Barry Dewar was expecting a rocky ride early on. The tumult came, but the Storm rode it out and seem to be heading in the right direction, with the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League (KIJHL) playoffs inching nearer. “I always want to win every game,” Dewar said. “I never want to lose, but we knew this would be the sort of year that it has been, where we were going to have a big learning curve. “Now we’ve brought in a couple of guys to help solidify things.” Seven goal scorers tallied for Kamloops (14-19-3-1) in an 8-0 blowout victory over the Sicamous Eagles in the Doug Birks Division matchup at Memorial Arena on Sunday.
Yewta Plamondon had two goals, including his team-leading 21st marker, and three points for the Storm in support of goaltender Jordan Wilde, who stopped 42 shots in victory. “Our goaltending is extremely strong, our defence is good and we’re getting some timely scoring now from the right players,” Dewar said. Brett Mero, Kaine Comin, Nathen Weninger, Hayden Hirsch, Ethan King and Reid Perepeluk also scored goals for Kamloops. Weninger had three assists. Lucas Gaudet, Hayden Dick, Erik Evans and Dario Piva each had two assists. Evans has a teamleading 40 points, including 20 goals. A decisive victory over the Eagles (5-31-2-1) doesn’t mean a whole lot. Sicamous is having a terrible season, sitting last in the Birks Division, 19 points behind the Storm. It is the bigger picture that has Dewar looking for-
ward to the playoffs. King, an 18-year-old defenceman from Vernon, was recently brought in to shore up the back end. Up front, 17-yearold forward Perepeluk, the Okanagan Shuswap Conference’s player of the game at the KIJHL Prospects Game in Kelowna earlier this month, has six goals and 16 points in 14 games since joining the Storm. “He is a phenomenal talent,” Dewar said of Perepeluk. “You can come and watch him for 10 bucks, instead of not getting to see him when he goes back to Prince George or wherever he goes in the WHL. “We’re trying to get the Blazers to trade for him.” The Storm are scheduled to play the conference-leading Grizzlies in Revelstoke on Friday before returning home to host the rematch on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m. on Saturday at Memorial. Kamloops and Revelstoke appear likely to meet in
Round 1 of the playoffs, in which the first- and fourthseeded teams and secondand third-seeded squads in the division will square off. The Grizzlies are atop the Birks division, nine points ahead of second-place Chase. The 100 Mile House Wranglers are third, eight points clear of Kamloops. “If I was a team ahead of us in the standings and looking at playing us in the playoffs, I’d be a little bit worried about us,” Dewar said.
Former Habs coming to Memorial Arena
The Storm will play host to an alumni game that will feature former Montreal Canadiens Stephane Richer, Oleg Petrov, Richard Sevigny, Chris Nilan and Steve Shutt, among others. The game will get underway at 7:30 p.m. on Feb. 14 at Memorial Arena. Tickets are available at the Memorial Arena concession or by calling Dewar at 250-574-7811.

Blazers win three straight Virtue, Moir revamp program in Alberta; Hay one victory away from history LORI EWING
THE CANADIAN PRESS
With a 4-2 victory over the Edmonton Oil Kings on Sunday, the Kamloops Blazers capped a perfect three-game road swing through Alberta. Kamloops knocked off the Rebels 3-1 in Red Deer on Saturday and earned a 2-1 win over the Hitmen in Calgary on Friday. The win in Edmonton was the 741st victory for head coach Don Hay in his WHL career. He is one win shy of Ken Hodge, who holds the all-time WHL record with 742 wins, a mark set in the 1992-1993 season. Quinn Benjafield (2), Nolan Kneen and Jermaine Loewen scored against Edmonton in support of goaltender Max Palaga, who stopped 32 shots in victory. Hay can tie Hodge if the Blazers can best the Portland Winterhawks (Hodge’s old team) at Sandman Centre on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m. Kamloops will also play host to Portland on Saturday.

ond-last in the Western Conference, two points ahead of the last-place Prince George Cougars. Kamloops is six points back of the Spokane Chiefs, who hold the conference’s second and final wild-card playoff position. Joe Gatenby leads the Blazers in points, with 41, and assists, with 31. Loewen has a team-leading 21 goals.
VANCOUVER — Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir came out of retirement with one goal in mind. They envision standing on the Olympic medal podium when the curtain comes down on their competitive career. Only the top step will do. So when they lost for the first time in more than a year at the Grand Prix Final in December, the veteran ice dancers headed back to the drawing board. Virtue and Moir will unveil revamped programs, particularly their free dance to Moulin Rouge at this week’s Canadian figure skating championships in Vancouver, a bold move they believe will help propel them to gold. “We don’t plan on coming second at the Olympics like we did at
Grand Prix finals,’’ Moir said. “We’re excited to showcase a lot of new elements for us. A couple of big changes that we’re really excited about. We’ve worked quite hard in December.’’ The 28-year-old Virtue and Moir, 30, captured gold at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, but were beaten by American rivals Meryl Davis and Charlie White four years later in Sochi. Two years into a trial retirement, they decided to launch a comeback and roared to a spectacular unbeaten streak that included world championship gold and a string of world record scores. But they lost to Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron at last month’s Grand Prix Final by less than three points. The most significant change comes in their free dance, which
opens to Roxanne and ends with the dreamy Come What May, sung by Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor. They’ve made some edits to the music, to emphasize “the duet and the love story, culminating in a bigger, more theatrical ending,’’ Virtue said. “Having trained and performed this program so many times, it’s ingrained in our bodies and we’re so committed to this storyline and we love it, but bringing in some fresh movement, it feels like the programs are reborn. And we are thrilled with the direction it’s taken. I think it will be hopefully more appealing to the masses.’’ Virtue and Moir train at the same rink as Papadakis and Cizeron, a situation that draws comparisons to their pre-Sochi environment. Back then they shared a rink with Davis and White, plus a coach in
Marina Zoueva. When they came out of retirement, they moved to Montreal where they train with Marie-France Dubreuil and Patrice Lauzon. Pyeongchang will be the culmination of an outstanding career 21 years in the making. They’ve won seven world championship medals, including three gold and seven Canadian titles. “We’re in a fabulous position, we really just have to embrace it all, the highs and lows, and be present every step of the way,’’ Virtue said. Canada will send three ice dance teams to Pyeongchang. Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje, and Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier are expected to secure the two other spots. The senior competition at the Canadian championships begins Friday at Doug Mitchell Thunderbird Sports Centre.

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
Five Nickels
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
You put five nickels in a bag. Four of them are ordinary nickels, but one is a fake with two tails sides. A random coin is drawn from the bag and placed on a table so only one side (which is randomly chosen) is showing. The coin shows tails. What is the probability that the coin drawn is not the fake?

Mary Dyck Our mother Mary Dyck passed away peacefully on the morning of Saturday, January 13, 2018 at 93 years of age. She lived her life with hope in Jesus Christ. Mom was born on March 31, 1924 along with a twin brother John to parents Heinrich and Aganetha Dyck in Aberdeen, Saskatchewan. She was prairie born and prairie tough. Mother was part of a family where faith in God was central to their lives. She learned of Jesus Christ - His love and forgiveness - early in life at her mother’s knee and this faith quickly became her own. She was baptized on the confession of her faith in Aberdeen when she was 22 years old and has faithfully lived her life for God. Mary attended Lilly South School where she enjoyed learning and reading, but her childhood was interrupted by Rheumatic Fever changing her life. She regretted the limitation this put on her school experience but accepted the lot given her. She started her first job away from home at age 22 in the Warman Maternity Hospital where she delivered babies. She also worked at the nursing home in Rosthern and as a private nurse in Saskatoon. She enjoyed caring for others throughout her life. Mary married Nick Peters on June 11, 1949. They began life together in a tiny teacherage on the Lilly North school yard where Nick taught. They moved

First Memorial Funeral Service 250-554-2429
to La Bassi School, Lilly South School, Aberdeen and then Saskatoon. There was very little money in the early years and Mom provided for all of the family needs producing shirts, pants, winter coats and quilts with her trusty Singer treadle sewing machine. Her husband was a teacher - but Mom was a lifelong learner; reading at every opportunity and learning how to use computers in her later years. She would often start a conversation with, “I learned something new today.” Bethany Manor became home for Mom in 1986. Nick passed away April 16, 1987, and after living alone for 21 years, Mom married John Dyck on August 29, 2008. John passed away in July 2014 and Mom had a major stroke in August 2014. She moved to Gemstone in Kamloops in September 2014 where she received wonderful care and could overlook the river where she could watch the birds build their nests every spring. She is survived by two sons Ellery (Marlene) Peters of Kamloops and Les (Rita) Peters of Guatemala, two step-sons Leonard (Barbara) Dyck of Calgary and Ken (Crystal) Dyck of Saskatoon, six grandchildren, five step-grandchildren, five greatgrandchildren and four step-great-grandchildren.
Pennies
From Heaven
by Charles L. Mashburn I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
