TRU PROFESSOR REMAINS IN JAIL IN SLOVAKIA DAVID SCHEFFEL SAYS CHARGES AGAINST HIM TIED TO HIS RESEARCH ON ROMANI PROSTITUTES DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Thompson Rivers University professor David Scheffel is in jail in Slovakia facing charges of child pornography, sexual violence and arms trafficking. Scheffel was arrested on Nov. 12, 2017, and has been in custody since. His request for bail was denied earlier this year and a new request filed with the Slovak court on April 4 has not been dealt with. Scheffel wrote to KTW from his jail cell, saying he feels vulnerable and arguing his imprisonment is related to his research on juvenile Romani prostitutes, “but also to my previous advocacy on behalf of disenfranchised Roma in general.” He noted a Slovak journalist who had been working on a story linking mafia-like organizations and Slovak authorities, including the police, was recently murdered. Scheffel said TRU has been helping in “subtle but meaningful ways” to assist him and he does not feel abandoned by his employer. He said he would like to see the Canadian government get involved
or show “some degree of official interest,” but that he understands why it might not do that. A representative of the Dutch government has visited him and is watching the case, Scheffel said. Scheffel said the lawyer he has hired in Presov is expensive and a protracted case will be financially difficult. People who know Scheffel say the situation arises from his research in the country on the Romani culture. It’s an area in which Scheffel is acknowledged to be an expert and one he has focused on since the early 1990s, taking students on field trips to Slovakia to live with Roma families. There, students witness the oppression, discrimination and poverty that has Roma families segregated from mainstream society. Scheffel has worked closely with Alexandrom Musinkom at the Roma Studies Institute at the University of Presov. Musinkom told a newspaper in his home country he has known Sheffel, who once taught him, for 25 years. “I am convinced that this is nonsense,” Musinkom said of the charges.
DAVID SCHEFFEL Others familiar with Scheffel’s work said they believe authorities in Slovakia do not understand Scheffel has been studying the Roma — also known as gypsies — as a researcher only. The Slovak reporter, Ingrid Timkova, wrote in her article that she had been told a scientist has been working with a Roma settlement in
a village called Svinia in the Presov district. She wrote that scientist, who she did not name, made claims that one of the men in the village had been abusing his daughter. The Slovak university gave Scheffel an honorary doctorate in 2012 to recognize the work he had been doing in Svinia. When asked by Slovak reporters to comment, the university said it could not because Scheffel is not an employee. Thompson Rivers University administration told KTW it is monitoring the situation. Scheffel has been on the teaching staff at TRU since it was known as Cariboo College. He works in the anthropology department. Complicating the situation, friends say, is the fact Scheffel does not have Canadian citizenship, despite living in Canada for decades. He holds Dutch citizenship. Presov reporters say the most serious crime he faces is sexual violence, which carries a sentence of of between seven and 15 years. The European Roma Rights Centre, an organization dedicated to fighting for equal rights in Slovakia for the Roma, has said no Slovak government has addressed systemic
racism against the population — estimated at about 500,000 people — since the 1980s. In January, the centre sued the Slovak ministry of the interior over what it calls discriminatory policing of the Roma and ethnic profiling. Romani children in the country are segregated in schools and often diagnosed as mentally disabled, the centre has said. Scheffel has studied the Romani for about 16 years, publishing a book about them in 2005. A statement from Scheffel’s family, sent to KTW, reads: “David has spent the last 25 years telling the stories of the Slovak Roma — one of Europe’s most marginalized populations. He is responsible for major international aid investments and for putting a spotlight on systemic racism, corruption and injustice. “We are completely convinced that David is innocent of the charges against him. He travelled to Slovakia in November knowing that police wanted to interview him and confident that he could clear his name. We now put our trust in David, his legal team and the Slovak courts to arrive at a just outcome. We ask that the family’s privacy be respected at this difficult time.”

We would love to have your child(ren) join our community at Kamloops Christian School!
Kamloops City Hall and the Tournament Capital Centre will be lit up in green this week as an expression of solidarity following the tragic accident in Humboldt, Sask., that claimed the lives of 15 people riding on the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team’s bus. “As home to a minor hockey team, we feel this loss as if it’s our own,” Mayor Ken Christian said in a press release. “Our deepest sympathies go out to the community as they mourn this tragic loss.”
Green flood lights will stay illuminated for one week. The deaths occurred last Friday night when the team’s bus was T-boned by a semi-truck as the team made its way to Nipawin for a playoff game. The truck went through a stop sign, hitting the bus, which had the right-of-way on a highway near Tisdale, Sask. “We think by lighting up some key civic buildings, it just shows that the whole community is thinking about everyone involved,” said city parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam.
City staff will also wear jerseys on Thursday to show support. Putnam said he was going to wear his Shane Doan Arizona Coyotes jersey, but recently got his hands on a Nipawin Hawks jersey. “A co-worker of mine actually played for Nipawan,” he said. Putnam said the tragedy hits close to home. “My kids all played rep and minor hockey, spring hockey,” he said. “We took bus trips every winter.” Residents are encouraged to join city staff by wearing their favourite jerseys on Thursday.

Firefighters were called to east Kamloops on Monday to douse a grass fire, the fifth such fire in Kamloops in the past two weeks. A downed power line is believed to be the cause of the blaze, which Kamloops Fire Rescue knocked down in about two hours. The fire was burning near the Arrow reload yard in the 9800-block of Wittner Road near Highway 1. No structures were damaged, nor were any injuries reported. The blaze was the latest in a series of grass fires in the Kamloops region, including another in east Kamloops, two on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve and one near Pritchard, all of which were human-caused.

Guilty plea in fatal hit-and-run expected

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The man charged in connection with a 2016 hit-and-run crash in Aberdeen that killed a Kamloops teenager is scheduled to plead guilty on Wednesday. The entire day has been scheduled for Jason Gourlay’s plea and sentencing submissions from Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan and defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen. Gourlay is facing charges of failing to remain at the scene of an accident and obstructing justice, the latter allegation relating to alleged evidence tampering. He is also facing an unrelated charge of possession of a controlled substance. It remains to be seen to what charges he will plead guilty. Flanagan will also read into court a narrative describing the events of Nov. 4, 2016, when 16-year-old Jennifer Gatey was struck by a vehicle and killed while walking to a bus stop a block away from her family’s home. Details of the allegations against Gourlay, 43, have previously been protected by a courtordered ban on publication.

FACEBOOK PHOTO Jason Gourlay is charged in connection with the Nov. 4, 2016, hit-and-run death of 16-year-old Jennifer Gatey.
Gatey was struck and killed by a vehicle on Pacific Way south of Aberdeen Drive, just behind her family’s home. She was walking to catch a bus to the Tournament Capital Centre for a workout. A Jeep belonging to Gourlay was identified early in the investigation as potentially having been involved in the incident. The vehicle was seized four days after the crash and has been

in the care of police since. Gatey was killed the day before her 17th birthday. Her father, Cameron Gatey, told KTW last month the family has been looking forward to closure in the form of a guilty plea. “If there is in fact a guilty plea deal, it will be a great relief to our family,” he said. “It’s been a terribly troubling 18 months and one of the issues has been the fact no one has taken responsibility for the situation that has been created. To know that someone may be admitting guilt would bring some resolution.” Gourlay was arrested on March 3, 2017, and granted bail less than a week later, under strict conditions requiring he stay at a drugrehabilitation centre on Vancouver Island. He was arrested for a second time on April 18, 2017, and charged with one count alleging he breached his bail conditions by failing to reside as directed and failing to abide by house rules. Gourlay was re-released on $20,000 cash bail in July, this time requiring he live at a treatment centre in Surrey. He was released from that facility in September and has since been living in a motel off Columbia Street.

Editor’s note: This story contains graphic information that may be disturbing to some readers. Former RCMP officer Alan Davidson, who preyed sexually on seven boys in separate incidents over a 15-year period ending in 1991, plying them with alcohol and pornography, could spend as long as eight years in a federal penitentiary. Alan Davidson was in a Kamloops courtroom last Friday while lawyers argued about how long he should spend behind bars. Davidson, 62, was convicted of five B.C. charges following a trial in Kamloops and pleaded guilty on Friday to two more stemming from incidents in Saskatchewan, where he was working as an RCMP constable. Davidson’s offending began in 1976 in Clearwater, when he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old boy playing on a hockey team he coached. The following year, Davidson targeted a 15-year-old boy he met through his involvement with minor hockey. The two shared a hotel room on an overnight trip in Penticton and Davidson gave the teen gin and cherry whiskey before asking him to perform oral sex. The boy remained silent and still throughout the incident. Between 1977 and 1978, Davidson began abusing a 14-yearold boy he met while coaching minor baseball and hockey. The boy’s parents trusted Davidson to look after their son while away for a weekend tournament. The victim said he woke up one morning in Davidson’s camper to find Davidson performing oral sex on him. In 1979, Davidson targeted another 14-year-old boy he met through coaching. The boy’s grandmother trusted Davidson to take him for a weekend away.
While on the short trip, the boy said, Davidson grabbed the boy’s hand and used it sexually. In the early 1980s, Davidson, then volunteering as an auxiliary RCMP constable in Clearwater, began abusing another 14-year-old boy he met through coaching. On an overnight fishing trip with the boy, Davidson plied him with alcohol and explicit images and eventually raped him in his camper. In 1987, Davidson, then working as a Mountie in Yorkton, Sask., targeted his 17-year-old paperboy, giving him cherry whiskey and pornography before encouraging the teen to perform sex acts with him. The boy became uncomfortable and left. Davidson asked him not to say anything that might jeopardize his job with the RCMP. Four years later, Davidson targeted a 16-year-old boy he coached in hockey. The boy was also a babysitter for Davidson’s son. The abuse spanned at least eight instances in which Davidson assaulted him. Crown prosecutor Alex Janse asked B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan to sentence Davidson to eight years behind bars. Defence lawyer John Gustafson suggested a period of house arrest. Donegan reserved her decision. Lawyers will return to court on Monday, April 16, to set a date for sentencing. Regardless of his sentence, Davidson will be required to surrender a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database and register as a sex offender for 20 years. He will also be bound by a mandatory 10-year firearms ban. Davidson did not have a previous criminal record. Police began investigating him following a complaint in November 2012. He was arrested in March 2014 in Calgary, where he was working as a deputy sheriff. The RCMP has said Davidson spent time at detachments in Saskatchewan and Alberta between February 1982 and August 1996. Davidson remains free on bail.
TRU to reveal new president Thompson Rivers University will announce its new president on Thursday — and it has invited the public to come to the campus for the event. Current president and vice-chancellor Alan Shaver, who assumed the position in 2010, succeeding Kathleen Scherf, announced last year he planned to leave at the end of his current contract in the summer. Since then, the university’s board of governors has completed what its chair called a worldwide search for a replacement. The announcement will take place at noon in the Grand Hall of the Campus Activity Centre. It is a public event to recognize the important role the university plays in the city, TRU executive communications director Darshan Lindsay said.

Why Should We Care? to judges Mark McVittie (left) and Amanda Russett on Tuesday at the 2018 Cariboo Mainline Regional Scence Fair, which is being held in the gymnasium at Thompson Rivers University. Hill’s project examined whether microfibre clothes and cotton clothes are shedding fibres and making their way into the ocean’s mammals and fish, possibly affecting our food chain. The science fair continues through Wednesday.

The City of Kamloops will stipulate when, where and how temporary overnight shelters may be set up in Kamloops. An amendment to the parks regulation bylaw was adopted by Kamloops council on Tuesday. “Basically, what we’ve seen federally and provincially is everyone has a right to shelter,” City of Kamloops community and protective services director Byron McCorkell said. “In accordance to that, we’re now identifying in the community those places that would be acceptable for temporary shelters.” The changes will allow temporary shelters to be erected from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. from March through November and between 5 p.m. and 8 a.m. December through February. That will allow for shelters to essentially be set up from dusk until dawn, McCorkell noted.
The bylaw currently allows shelters from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Temporary overnight shelters will also be restricted to cover an area of less than 10 square metres and multiple shelters may not be connected. Certain areas — the sporting fields on McArthur Island, for example — are prohibited. Along with the proposed amendments, staff have identified 13 river bank areas where the homeless may set up overnight shelters. The areas are in front of the following sites: Henry Grube Education Centre, Schubert Drive, Overlander Drive, between Red Bridge and Riverside Park, Overlanders Bridge to Riverside Park and the green space between animal control and the landfill. “Historically, people have been in these areas before,” McCorkell said. A report to council states the city expects to see more people using public property for temporary overnight shelter as a result
of the closure of the temporary winter emergency response shelter at the former Stuart Wood elementary downtown. That shelter was open from October through the winter and closed when provincial funding ended. The city and Tk’emlups te Secwepemc are tentatively planning a cultural heritage museum for the space, which is located at 245 St. Paul St. McCorkell said the city continues to work at providing housing across a continuum — from emergency shelters to entrylevel home ownership — noting the bylaw amendment is one component in a homelessness strategy. The City of Kamloops has announced several affordable housing projects in the past six months. “Unfortunately, this is part of the current situation,” McCorkell said. “Obviously, we want to see everybody under a roof ... The two aren’t lining up as far as timing and construction.”

HOUSING HOMELESS A CITY PRIORITY
T
he City of Kamloops has done plenty to address the homelessness problem within its boundaries, as much if not more than many communities in the province. Last year’s wildfire evacuees were, in fact, suddenly homeless and they found in Kamloops a community ready, willing and able to help. Evacuees were housed at the university, Sandman Centre, schools, hotels and private homes. Between Nov. 1 and March 31, the city turned the empty Stuart Wood elementary into seven-day-a-week emergency winter shelter for the homeless. As 2018 began, the city and partner agencies announced a flurry of affordable housing projects, two of which should have residents by the time the snow falls later this year. And, just this week, the city officially opened a designated building downtown that will be used by the homeless to store possessions. Much of that work has come from the city working with senior levels of government to secure funding to make these projects a reality. The latest homelessness initiative involves minor changes to a bylaw that governs where and when people can set up a tent or makeshift shelter for the night. Essentially, the hours permitted have changed to encompass dusk to dawn and specific parks and areas of the city are designated for such use. The amendment has at its root a 2008 court decision that found the City of Victoria was in violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms when it prohibited overnight sheltering in parks and other public areas. Cities can, however, impose certain conditions which are considered reasonable restrictions on protected constitutional rights — hence the bylaw. The problem of homelessness cannot be solved immediately and, yes, far too little was done in the past. But the city has demonstrated clearly that it has decided to take a proactive stance on the issue and the proof is in the hundreds of housing units that will soon rise in Kamloops.

City should fly the flag to silence Archie Bunker
B
ack in the 1990s, my father showed up at my house overtaken with concern for my family’s welfare. First, let’s establish he was born in the 1920s, pretty much epitomized the Archie Bunker stereotype and was a man with many internal conflicts. One of them had to do with homosexuality. He demanded my husband and I change one of our medical practitioners because he had learned from others the man was (insert that stereotypical whisper here) “gay.” I struggled with how the man’s self-identity had anything to do with the health care he provided to my family and made the mistake of laughing at my dad. This was serious, he said, while I mentally reminded myself he’s a dinosaur from another era, but he’s still your dad, so stop snickering. Father also used this practitioner until he learned of the doctor’s sexuality — at which time he changed to another clinic immediately. I’d like to think times have changed since then, although Kamloops City Hall’s continued reluctance to recognize our LGBTQ2+ community by simply raising a flag for a day befuddles me. The official explanation is the second flag pole down at the corner of Victoria Street and First
DALE BASS Street
LEVEL Avenue, outside the supposed seat of representation for all Kamloopsians, is only to be used for special occasions and to recognize visitors to the city. I get the first explanation, but struggle to understand why city hall and our local politicians would fly a flag for someone visiting from another country, but won’t do the same for people who represent a community still struggling in other countries for recognition. All they want is the Pride flag flying proudly out front on the day of the Pride Parade — Aug. 26. My youngest son and I walked with our friends at the first such parade last year. Having grown up in a family where it was acceptable to denigrate that community — and even fear it — I scanned Riverside Park for protesters. I wasn’t the only one doing
it and that speaks again to the need to show political support for these Kamloopsians. After all, one of the stories I wrote in the early 2000s for KTW was about a young gay man who was outed at work when his boss put up posters in the kitchen warning of the dangers of AIDS. I wrote another story on a middle-aged man who was dying from that disease and who just wanted someone in his family to acknowledge him, to embrace him. It didn’t happen. Here’s why city councillors need to rethink their stance on the flag, one they also delivered to the Kamloops Pride members last year — it may be 2018, but there are still people out there like my father. There are still people afraid to tell their loved ones who they are because they fear rejection. AIDS is pretty much under control these days, but bigotry isn’t. It’s still there and flying the flag would speak volumes to those Neanderthals. Besides, any time we have a parade in this city, it’s a special occasion, isn’t it? It’s an occasion celebrating something that makes our city special. Council should do the right thing and raise the Pride flag. Then all council members can walk with pride alongside their constituents on Aug. 26. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Editor: Re: Dave Simms’ letter of April 4 (‘Old pipeline should be shut down’): Simms makes a lot of good points regarding the relocation of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline through Westsyde. Being from Clearwater, I don’t think Simms understands how things work in the big city of Kamloops. The pipeline runs through the North Shore — and Westsyde in particular. It would be a far different story if the pipeline was running through the South Shore or, heaven forbid, Aberdeen. Had the Ajax mine been proposed for the Lac Du Bois area, there would have been no council opposition and the open-pit project would be in full operation by now. Les McKinnon Kamloops
FOCUS ON COMPOSTING, RECYCLING Editor: Re: Brenda Reid’s letter of March 30 (‘Time for city to up its sustainability game,’): Recently we watched an episode of CBC’s The Passionate Eye called Wasted! The Story of Food Waste. After watching the show, our family had many discussions about how Canada, including Kamloops, is so far behind other countries and cities when it comes to composting and recycling. We have been recycling since it came to Kamloops in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
That was back when we had to separate the types of hard plastic according to the number on it and had to drive to several recycling locations throughout the city. We have also been composting in our yard for more than 10 years and are now looking into indoor worm composting. The TV show offered so many ideas on how to divert food waste from our landfills and re-use it in more than just simple composting, such as repurposing it as animal feed. Our city councillors are elected
officials into whom we have put our trust to make our city a better place to live and thrive. Change needs to happen and we don’t have to re-invent the wheel. There are already many great ideas out there. We just need to make a decision and stick to it in order to create the best city possible. We suggest city council make nine big bowls of organic, nonGMO popcorn, drizzled in grass-fed butter, and take notes and action. C. L. Klyne & L. J. Wall Kamloops
TWO SIDES OF LOOKING AT LEGISLATION Editor: Will the proposed new gun-control legislation actually have an impact on gun violence? Before getting my exercise jumping to conclusions, I tried to itemize sights, sounds, smells and emotional well being and apply them to both sides of the argument. I have been in the company of others who are lined up to take turns shooting clay birds at a shotgun sports club. I have shared space at the Heffley Gun Club, sighting in a rifle and making holes in paper at
varying distances. I have hunted for many years. I have seen clay birds break apart and holes appear in paper. I have heard the sound of gunshots close to me with my ears protected by foam wads and a sound-absorbing set of muffs. I have smelled the scent of burned powder. I have enjoyed the companionship of others who safely enjoy shooting and have always looked forward to going back again. Such is the way of safe gun ownership and use.
On the other hand, I have been in the proximity of gun violence due to drug-related activities. I have seen police vehicles and ambulances responding repeatedly, with no end in sight. I have seen the faces of young women who have been taken into the drug trade. I have heard sirens, people fighting and windows being smashed. I have smelled things worse than any odour I had ever experienced when working on farms as a teenager. I have smelled skunk
where no skunks have been and the acrid burning smell of solvent as if it had been mixed with cat urine. I have been told of bullet holes found. In my heart, I killed another human being because I was so angry seeing him with one of the young girls. Will a piece of paper drafted in Ottawa change anything about gun violence and how it affects us? Apples and oranges are two different things. They always will be. John Noakes Kamloops

The B.C. Wildlife Federation is holding its four-day annual general meeting in Kamloops this week, with the event featuring a number of notables and putting wildlife issues up for discussion. Members and delegates from the group’s 100 affiliated clubs, including host club Kamloops and District Fish and Game Association, will gather beginning on Wednesday to discuss and vote on matters pertaining to hunting, fishing and conservation. This year’s attendees include politicians such as B.C. Liberal Leader Andrew Wilkinson, Minister of Forests Doug Donaldson and B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver, who will engage delegates on a number of wildlife and environment issues. Claudia Ferris, public-relations manager with the B.C. Wildlife Federation, said Weaver will directly address delegates on the topic of the grizzly bear hunting ban. “That should be interesting because there’s quite a bit of controversy — a lot of our members are quite upset about the ban,” Ferris said. Aside from politicians, there will also be a number of experts and researchers on hand, including keynote speaker David Schindler, who founded the internationally renowned Experimental Lakes Area in northwestern Ontario. Also attending will be Eric Taylor, chair of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in
Canada (COSEWIC) — an advisory body to government. Taylor will be a part of the fisheries panel, along with Dana Atagi, vice-president of the Freshwater Fisheries Society of B.C., and Al Martin, BCWF director of strategic initiatives. In recent months, the B.C. Wildlife Federation has been in contact with the federal government, advocating for fisheries changes to protect the Interior Fraser River steelhead, which saw the lowest returns on records last year. COSEWIC has recommended an emergency listing order under the federal Species at Risk Act, arguing the fish is in imminent danger of extinction. Only 177 fish returned from the sea to the Thompson River last fall, while a mere 58 returned to the Chilcotin River. Those are record-low numbers since records began being compiled in 1978 The effects of last year’s devastating wildfire season are also on the schedule, with B.C. Wildfire Service executive director Madeline Maley sitting on the wildfire panel, along with Mark Hebblewhite, a University of Montana researcher studying the longterm effects of wildfire on elk populations, and Rob Serrouya, a University of Alberta researcher studying recovery options for caribou and other species. Delegates will first meet on Wednesday before plenary meetings begin on Thursday. Events wrap up on Saturday with the organization’s annual gala and awards dinner. The AGM is being held at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Convention Centre in Aberdeen.

Cliffhangers prompt more signs SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
More signage is on its way to Peterson Creek Park after four rope rescues in the past two weeks. On Sunday, two more people found themselves stuck on a rock face near the waterfalls in the park, which led to a response from Kamloops Fire Rescue, which sent 11 firefighters and four trucks. “A couple of people climbing up the side of the falls got to a point where they figure it was too steep to carry on and were uncomfortable trying to climb down, so [they] called 9-1-1,” said platoon Capt. Rob Chalmers. He said the incident was similar to the other rescue missions the fire department has conducted in Peterson Creek recently. Chalmers said firefighters were lowered down to the hikers, who were strapped into harnesses and raised to an area where they could walk out. Neither of the two hikers sustained injuries. They were trapped in the same general area where four other hikers became stuck in three separate incidents in the park. There has been one rope rescue in
that area every week since March 24. “We’re certainly getting our training and our practise in,” Chalmers said, adding that he can’t remember KFR responding to as many rope rescues in such a short amount of time in his 28 years with the department. Chalmers said the rope rescue calls to Peterson Creek Park tie up resources that are needed for emergencies that are not preventable. “We generally go in there a dozen times a year, maybe, but generally not four of them in the first two weeks of the good weather,” Chalmers said. After the rope rescue of two hikers back on April 2, KFR Lt. Erin Holloway told KTW the fire department wanted to speak with the city regarding adding more signage in the area. City of Kamloops parks and civic facilities manager Jeff Putnam has confirmed it intend to do just that. “We are doing that for sure,” he told KTW. Putnam said people continue to ignore the signage already in the area, which has created a makeshift trail leading to the waterfall, where they are not allowed to hike. “The challenge we have is that entire trail from where the sign is at the end of
Tom Moore Trail into the waterfall is not an actual trail,” Putnam said. The current signage — located near the start of the Tom Moore Trail below the Peterson Creek bridge — warns of falling rocks, tells people not to proceed and to follow marked trails, Putnam said. The issue isn’t limited to those climbing up the rock face, as anyone who is walking along the creek bed in that area is not supposed to be there. “Hikers are knowingly going into risky terrain because it’s very clear with the signage,” he said. Putnam said he’s “at a loss” as to why people continue to choose to climb in the area. While not part of the plan just yet, Putnam said the city could erect a barrier to keep people out of the prohibited area, but noted that would cost tens of thousands of dollars and people could likely climb around it. “Wouldn’t be my preferred option,” he said. Putnam said there is no bylaw he is aware of that would allow the city to fine people for hiking in the prohibited area. He said implementing one wouldn’t be his call. “That, I guess, could be a long-term option,” Putnam said.

Another Y Dream Home record broken ANNUAL LOTTERY VALUE PACKS SELL OUT IN LESS THAN THREE DAYS MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Almost as soon as they went on sale, they were gone. This year’s value packs for the Kamloops Y Dream Home Lottery sold out in less than three days, breaking last year’s six-day record. Value packs include five $100 tickets for $400.
As of Tuesday, there were less than 3,000 of the 13,000 tickets available, Y Dream Home director of marketing Bryce Herman told KTW. The lottery is experiencing a meteoric rise in popularity. Last year, all tickets sold out in 23 days. This year, Herman said, organizers are on pace to meet or exceed that timeline. In 2016, tickets
didn’t sell out until about two weeks before the deadline to buy in June. “Last year was the first time that the momentum really started to kick up and it went crazy,” Herman said, noting it’s surreal to see tickets go so quickly before anyone has a chance to tour the home. The first open house gets underway this weekend.

The 2018 Y Dream Home, which is the end result of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association and Thompson Rivers University’s Training House, is located at 2706 Beachmount Cres. in Westsyde. Open houses will be held on Saturdays and Sundays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. from April 7 to June 24. Herman believes the lottery has become so popular in recent years due to support from locals. “The people of the community have bought in to this as being a community event. It’s for the greater good. All the money stays right here in Kamloops and supports the YMCA/YWCA and all the initiatives that they do,” Herman said. The odds of winning the Y Dream Home are 1 in 13,000 and the odds of winning one of the 504 prizes are 1 in 26, down from 1 in 29 last year despite there being 1,500 more tickets in the mix thanks to an increase in prizes. “We’ve been able to keep the odds better every year,” Herman said. The home spans 3,000 square feet, has three bedrooms and is valued at $653,000. “I would say auto-
mation and technology is the number-one feature in this home, without a doubt,” Herman said. “It’s fully equipped with Google Home, so you can ask Google questions in every room, you can look at who’s at your front door from your smartphone.” MORE WAYS TO WIN The YMCA/YWCA has added a 50/50 ticket this year, giving residents the chance to win $100,000 if all 22,000 tickets are sold. “We decided to add that in because what was happening was it [Y Dream Home Lottery tickets] was selling out so quickly last year we thought at least if we have another product for people to participate in, it’s another opportunity for revenue,” Herman said.

OTTAWA — Provinces and territories have agreed to fund a key financial pillar supporting the Trudeau Liberals’ decadelong housing strategy, vowing to spend billions to repair and build social-housing units and create a new rental benefit. Several of the key programs in the housing strategy unveiled in November rested on provinces and territories matching promised new federal funding to the tune of $8.6 billion. All regions, except Quebec, now have agreed to match about $7.7 billion in planned spending through to 2028. The fine print of the plan shows that up to half of what the federal government would count as matching funding can come from cities, Indigenous organizations, charities or the private sector. The agreement also says some money spent since the start of the month might also be counted against the $7.7-billion pledge. The Liberals have promised to introduce federal legislation that would make it difficult for a future federal government to back out of the strategy to help provinces and territories set long-term plans, instead of wondering how much they might receive year by year. “We know that this is extremely important for provinces and territories that want to plan over the long term,’’ Social Development Minister Jean-Yves Duclos said. “It’s clear, of course, that future governments — future federal governments or even future provincial and territorial
governments — could change their mind, but that would be much harder to do with the type of housing agreement arrived to today.’’ The agreement signed on Monday in Toronto lays out a framework that sets out how money is first going to flow to repairs and construction of affordable housing units, while ensuring no net loss in units, particularly for urban Aboriginals. What that means in raw numbers is adding about 50,000 units to the system and repairing 60,000 more, while promoting construction of mixed-income and mixed-use residential developments. Spending early on in the plan will focus on these bricks and mortar issues and shift to the $4 billion housing benefit that will become progressively portable, so about 300,000 households could have the supplement follow them if they ever decide to move out of a social housing unit. The new benefit wouldn’t be rolled out until 2020, with the first dollars planned to flow in 2021, and the agreement suggests it be designed to avoid causing jumps in rent. Tim Richter, president of the Canadian Alliance to End Homelessness, said he is concerned the housing benefit will not be truly portable, limiting its potential impact. “There is no evidence that portable housing benefits cause rent inflation,’’ he said on Twitter. “These measures to prevent imaginary rent-inflation concerns will make it more difficult for homeless people to benefit
and will tie rent support to construction, adding years to the potential impact.’’ The speed with which Monday’s announcement came together caught housing advocates off-guard. Pedro Barata, co-chair of the National Housing Collaborative, an umbrella group created to lobby the Liberals on the design of the housing strategy, said the agreement “puts real fuel in the tank in moving this forward.’’ Jeff Morrison, executive director of the Canadian Housing and Renewal Association, said the framework “removes a major stumbling block’’ to implementing the housing strategy. Tim Ross, director of strategic affairs for the Co-operative Housing Federation of Canada, said the agreement gives certainty to low-income households worried about affording their homes. What the framework doesn’t include is provincial and territorial blessing for a federal initiative to legislate a right to housing. Duclos said regions had different views on how useful the promised federal rights legislation would be in reducing the country’s housing crunch and the agreement references the idea only as a federal initiative. The next step will be to sign one-on-one funding agreements so federal money can flow to provinces and, ultimately, municipalities. In a few weeks, Duclos said, the government will unveil the details of a new $15.9-billion financing program to help housing providers use their assets to leverage additional cash to build new apartments and homes.
Harper congratulates Orban OTTAWA — Former prime minister Stephen Harper has publicly offered his congratulations to controversial political leader Viktor Orban for winning re-election on Monday as Hungary’s prime minister. In a tweet sent on Monday night, Harper congratulated Orban for winning “a decisive fourth term’’ and added that he looked forward to working with the Hungarian prime minister in his role as chairman of the International Democratic Union. Harper was chosen to chair the centre-right think tank in February at the organization’s meeting of party leaders in Spain. He succeeded Sir John Key, former prime minister of New Zealand. Harper’s tweet has garnered attention in political circles, with many pointing to Orban’s rightwing, populist political ideology.

When administrators at Thompson Rivers University were discussing how to mark the country’s 150th anniversary, they felt it was important to acknowledge the fact the country’s history goes back more than that century-and-a-half. The Kamloops and Williams Lake campuses are located on the traditional lands of the Secwepemc people and the plus sign was added to acknowledge their history goes back thousands of years.

ast year, as the country marked its 150th birthday, Thompson Rivers University decided to use the event to engage its student body by asking one question: What does Canada mean to you? To promote it, the university created a video in which it asked people on campus that question. Among the answers: Canada is tolerant, accepting, caring, provides opportunities, is a good place to be and is represented by freedom and Timmies (which will resonate with coffee drinkers). It asked for submissions from students of projects that included connecting with the people who live within the TRU region of B.C., creating a talking point, doing research — essentially creating stories that answer the question. Those chosen would receive $2,700 to cover expenses for their project. Eight students were chosen to provide their answers. Their projects were diverse and, in some ways, unexpected, said Lucille Gnanasihamany, TRU’s associate vicepresident of marketing and communications. Sarah McLaughlin of the adventure tourism department went to Vancouver Island to explore First Nations culture. Also First Nations and with a goal to create an Aboriginal touring company, McLaughlin said her understanding of Canada became deeper since her visit to the Island.

New Tampon Tuesday campaign flows into city It’s time to support women during their time of the month. Tampon Tuesday is a national campaign that has turned into a month-long initiative in Kamloops, inspired by a successful drive by the United Way in the Lower Mainland that collected more than 166,000 menstrual products. Throughout April, the United Way and United Steelworkers will be collecting feminine hygiene products donated throughout the Tournament Capital to support women living in poverty who cannot afford them. These items can be dropped off at one of two United Way loca-
tions — 181 Vernon Ave. on the North Shore and 177 Victoria St. downtown — until April 30. To arrange a pickup on May 1, people can call 250-372-9933. “These products need to be more available to women, especially those who are already struggling to meet their basic everyday needs,” said Sarah Sandholm, senior resource development manager with United Way. “It’s important for United Way to bring awareness to this often overlooked issue.” She said menstruation and the need for menstrual products can be a topic some are embarrassed to talk
about, but noted the need is real for struggling families with both parent and children lacking access to these products. “Our hope is that one day menstruation products will be freely available to all those who require them,” said Tampon Tuesday co-founder Eric Will of USW Local 1-417. “Until that day, your help is needed. Period.” Fellow co-founder Phil Ducharme of USW 1-417 said he understands some men may have never purchased a box of tampons and it might be uncomfortable to do so, but added the gesture will go a long way to help women in need.

Groves said she focused on gift cards rather than actual food items because it was important the needy be able to choose what they wanted to buy with them, rather than having to eat what is available at a community kitchen, where the choices may be food one does not like. She explained why she included Tim Hortons: “For many, it is the pinnacle of being Canadian and I wanted people to be able to go in there and have some place warm to sit and get a coffee or a snack or whatever they may choose, just as countless other Canadians are able to do every day.” Matt Arkinstall of the faculty of arts decided to find his answer by visiting four Canadian cities — Vancouver, Montreal, Edmonton and Kamloops — and talk to people in each community about what Canada means to them. When he delivered his presentation, he had not made it to all four cities, but found the variety of voices he heard from at that point revolved around the breadth and
beauty of the country. Business student Sumail Dhillon, who moved to Canada three years ago, said he never felt like he wasn’t home. He said Canada to him is opportunity. He said he has grown since moving to the country, finding job opportunities and finding his own creative side while making videos, travelling and practising photography. Dhillon explored many national parks last year, volunteering to help people displaced due to wildfires. He said his experience showed him something more beautiful than he ever thought he would see. Dhillon said he hopes to continue volunteering at the parks to help protect and preserve them.

PIPELINE POLITICS ELICITS VARYING VIEWS JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
While Kinder Morgan has decided to halt work on expansion of its Trans Mountain pipeline due to opposition from the B.C. NDP government, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has vowed the pipeline will become a reality. Trudeau said he had “a long conversation’’ with Premier John Horgan by phone on Sunday night, arguing Horgan should not be intervening in an area of federal jurisdiction. “I impressed upon him the importance of working together and respecting the federal responsibility for protecting things that are in the national interest,’’ Trudeau said.
Kinder Morgan halts construction of Trans Mountain expansion; wants agreements in place by May 31
“This is a pipeline in the national interest and it will get built.’’ On Sunday, the company set a May 31 deadline to reach an agreement with the provincial government and others amid opposition to the project in B.C. Kamloops North-Thompson MLA (B.C. Liberal) Peter Milobar said he was not surprised by the action, but called it “disappointing.” “Disappointing that the provincial government seems bent on damaging the British Columbia economy , but also British Columbia’s relationships,” Milobar said.
The project, which would triple the amount of oil flowing through the pipeline from Alberta to Burnaby — including through Kamloops — is at a political standstill. Horgan campaigned on doing whatever his government could to stop the project and he wants the courts to decide if the province can regulate against increased oil flow through pipelines. The project received a green light from the federal government in 2016 and Trudeau has argued it is possible to balance the interests of the economy and environment. Kinder Morgan estimates construction and the first 20 years of

expanded operation would generate $46.7 billion in revenue, with $5.7 billion to British Columbia, $19.4 billion to Alberta and $21.6 billion to Canada. Milobar said that money could be funnelled into social programs, health care and transportation. “That’s a huge, huge hit,” he said. Milobar said Kamloops is intended to be a major staging area for a large portion of pipeline construction, which he noted comes with inherent economic spinoff. He said if the pipeline project were to die, the City of Kamloops stands to lose a significant prop-
erty tax bump, which is estimated to double for municipalities along the line. In addition, community benefits agreements inked would be null and void, including $700,000 to the city, $1.5 million to North Thompson communities, $500,000 to Thompson Rivers University and $3 million to the Tk’emlups Indian Band. “There’s very serious economic and employment ramifications in Kamloops all the way up the Thompson Valley,” Milobar said. Dan Hines, who ran locally for the B.C. Greens in the last provincial election, has long been opposed to the pipeline expansion project. He said the conversation spans beyond legality to “financial risks.” See $7.4-BILLION PROJECT, A21

Kamloops Airport saw a nearly six per cent bump in visitors in the first quarter of 2018, compared to the same time last year. From January through March, 92,471 visitors touched down in Kamloops, compared to 87,096 travellers during the same time in 2017. “We’re now seeing a continued growth trend,” Kamloops Airport managing director Heather McCarley said. The best-ever first quarter was recorded in 2016. This year’s numbers fall short
of that mark by 320 passengers. “So very close,” McCarley said. March bested a former record and McCarley said momentum is building from a strong fourth quarter in 2017. November and December saw an additional 5,100 passengers compared to the same time in 2016. McCarley is optimistic looking ahead to the remainder of the year. The float-plane dock is due for completion in May, which is also when an additional Calgary flight will be added to WestJet’s offerings. Air Canada Rouge — the airline’s low-cost subsidy — will begin offering a non-stop flight to Toronto this
summer. The direct route to Toronto starts on June 21, with three non-stop flights per week through Oct. 9, when it will be determined whether the route is sustainable enough to become permanent. “It is a great time for air travel through Kamloops Airport,” McCarley said. A rainbow-coloured crosswalk is also coming to the airport. The symbol, showing support for the LGBTQ2+ community, will be painted this spring at the airport entrance/exit at Tranquille Road. “We expect that will be painted soon,” McCarley said. “We’re waiting for the drier weather.”

$7.4-billion project in limbo From A19
He said the pipeline was initially intended for domestic supply and noted the global economy is decarbonizing. Protestors argue the expansion would increase the risk of oil spills in the Burrard Inlet off B.C.’s coast and the project will prevent the federal government from meeting commitments to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. “It’s just not where we need to be going,” Hines said. Hines touted investment in a 21st-century economy and wants to look to Scandinavian countries for future employment opportunities. “This is a bigger question about how we are going to provide employment into the future,” he said. “I do worry about the displacement of workers.” Hines said while the federal government approved expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline, it also admitted its assessment process is flawed. Hines wants communities to have a say in the project. The Liberals introduced an overhauled environmental assessment process in legislation now making its way through Parliament. However, Trans Mountain was approved in 2016 under an earlier interim process. “The assessment process is going to come into question,” he said. Kinder Morgan has spent about $1.1 billion on the $7.4-billion project. It was expected to begin construction in 2017, with the expansion set to be done by the end of 2019. Meanwhile, a federal invest-
ment in the pipeline is one of the possibilities the Liberal government is considering to help get the controversial project completed, according to Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr. Alberta Premier Rachel Notley said her province is also prepared to invest in the pipeline directly if it would help keep investors on board — a notion her opposition rival, United Conservative party Leader Jason Kenney, said he would support as long as Ottawa also puts money on the table. Kinder Morgan would be open to government investment if it brought certainty to the project, CEO Steve Kean said Monday. Carr isn’t saying a federal investment is a certainty, only that it is among the options on the table, along with legal and regulatory manoeuvres. “We’re looking at all available options,’’ Carr said without getting into specifics. Trudeau dodged the question of federal investment during a news conference in Montreal, saying only there is a “broad range of options’’ for Ottawa to consider. The federal government has jurisdiction over infrastructure that crosses provincial borders, including highways and pipelines. Trans Mountain runs between Edmonton and Burnaby. The federal government considered asking the Supreme Court for a jurisdictional ruling earlier this year, but opted not to because it would have implied there was doubt about jurisdiction, when federal officials say there is none. A reference also would have taken at least a year, possibly
two, with the project hanging in the balance in the interim. Brian Lee Crowley, managing director of the MacdonaldLaurier Institute in Ottawa, said the federal Liberals are up against the wall because they have alienated some of their environmental supporters by backing the pipeline and now they may end up with nothing to show for it. Crowley said the previous federal Conservative government wasn’t able to get pipelines built and Trudeau’s promise that he would introduce environmental protections and climate change policies like the carbon tax in order to get buy-in to build pipelines thus far has failed. “We have not yet brought together the winning conditions,’’ Crowley said, adding he doesn’t think federal financing will drive the project to completion. “This has now become an issue of if the law prevails in Canada or if angry minorities can prevail,’’ said Crowley. Kinder Morgan already has a court injunction requiring protesters to stay 50 metres away from its Burnaby marine terminal work sites. More than 160 people have been arrested since then, including Hines’ daughter, federal Green Leader Elizabeth May and NDP MP Kennedy Stewart. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said if the Trudeau government had properly fulfilled its promise to provide an improved, fully independent environmental review of the project, they may have been able to get the social licence for the project. — with files from Canadian Press

ago,” he said. “That’s going to take some of the demand out of the market. Most of those are resale, but it’s going to take some of the demand away.” Despite the cooling, prices remain relatively high. Quinton said the average price of homes for sale in Kamloops is $462,500, compared with $400,000 a year ago. For buyers, Quinton said, the landscape is improving. “It’s been a very different period for buyers the last year or two,” he said. “I think it’s getting better for them. They’re going to have more time to think. “For sellers, it’s just going to mean their house isn’t going to sell as quickly and they aren’t going to be able to overprice it.”

There were 966 properties listed for sale at the end of March, down 20 per cent from 1,204 at the same time in 2017. Quinton said the real estate association has seen a cooling coming for some time. “We’ve been forecasting it for a while that it was going to soften this year,” he said. “In historical terms, we still have very stable sales numbers.” According to Quinton, demand will be lowered when projects in development hit the market. “A lot of those starts were started six months to a year

The hot Kamloops real estate market has suddenly dropped a few degrees, due in part to three specific factors. “There has been a cooling, especially last month,” Doren Quinton, new president of the Kamloops and District Real Estate Association, told KTW. “Historically, we’ve seen numbers come back to historic norms. We’ve seen stronger regulation on mortgage approvals (so-called stress tests), lower inventory and strengthening interest rates. I think those things combined have had an impact.” In March, 210 residential properties changed hands in Kamloops. That’s down from 276 in March 2017, a decline of 24 per cent. Year-to-date sales were at 565 at the end of March, down from 600 over the same period a year ago. “The sales drop can be attributed almost entirely to lower

Building permits issued in Kamloops during the first quarter of 2018 are up and worth nearly double that of the same time last year. In the first three months of the year, 351 building permits valued at $38.5 million were issued, compared to 298 permits worth $21.5 million during the same period in 2017. “That’s pretty substantial,” City of Kamloops development, engineering and sustainability manager Marvin Kwiatkowski said. “We’re expecting a really strong year.” Low vacancy rates continues to fuel residential and multi-family units, which saw a slight bump in March over the same time last year and are up overall in 2018 from 2017. Commercial permits were worth more in March compared to the same month last year and overall in the first quarter. March saw 14 permits worth $4.4 million issued, compared to eight last March worth $1.2 million. In the first quarter, 33 construction permits amounted to $15.7 million, com-

pared to 28 last year during the same period worth $3.4 million. One industrial permit was issued in March, worth $1.2 million, which went to Blackwell Dairy Farm. The Barnhartvale farm’s dairy production plant was destroyed by fire in 2017. The loss of the building was estimated at $3.5 million, while total losses were pegged at $5 million. Kwiatkowski noted applications for several large projects have yet to be put on the books in 2018, including the Thompson Rivers University nursing building and the new SPCA building near Kamloops Airport. The numbers come as Statistics Canada released on Friday its labour force survey, which showed new employment increased across the country by 32,000 jobs. The report states British Columbia held steady in March and has been relatively unchanged since the summer of 2017. The province maintains the lowest unemployment rate among the provinces, at 4.7 per cent. Kamloops continues to have an unemployment rate nearly double that of the national reading. Kamloops has an unemployment rate of 10.3, while it is 5.8 nationally.

here was life in Connor Ingram’s voice for a moment, a few seconds of levity in a conversation about death and loss. S AT U R DAY A P R I L 2 8 • 2 0 1 8 He told a story about Logan Schatz, the 20-year-old captain of the Humboldt Broncos who was one of 15 killed on Friday in an accident involving the junior hockey team’s bus and a tractor-trailer in rural Saskatchewan, between Tisdale and Nipawin. Schatz and Ingram, 21, became friends when playing peewee hockey for the Clavet

Cougars and remained close when they jumped to bantam and toiled together for the Sask Valley Vipers. They were still buddies when Grade 12 rolled around and it was time for high school graduation. Schatz was from Allan, about a 60-minute drive from Imperial, where Ingram went to school. Ingram managed to slip his way into the Allan School grad festivities. Schatz made the trek for an appearance at the Imperial School celebrations. “He came to my graduation on Friday night and we had our grad party on Saturday,” said Ingram, who also played summer hockey with Schatz. “He was supposed to go to a different grad on the Saturday, but we convinced him to stay. He spent another night at my house.
“He’s one of those guys that when you see him around, you never skipped a beat with him. He always had a smile on his face. He was always the life of the party.” Memories such as those are all Ingram has left, like so many others reeling from the tragedy that has rocked Canada and the world. Ingram, who was drafted by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2016 after starring with the Kamloops Blazers in the Western Hockey League, plays for the Syracuse Crunch and was in Binghamton, N.Y., for an American Hockey league tilt against the Devils on Friday night. “When I got back on my phone after the game, I didn’t know anything about it,” said Ingram, who signed with the Lightning last April. “I had a text from one of my good buddies and one from my dad. They both said don’t check your phone, just give me a call. I called my dad. He filled me in. “It was hard at that point because you don’t know who is OK and who is not OK and there are all kinds of rumours flying around.” Ingram knew four of the Broncos who were involved in the accident — Schatz, Kaleb Dahlgren, 20, Bryce Fiske, 20, and Nick Shumlanski, 20. Shumlanski’s father, Myles, told the Saskatoon StarPhoenix it was a miracle his son was able to walk away from the accident with relatively minor injuries that include broken bones and a small crack in a vertebra. Fiske and Dahlgren also survived. Dahlgren’s family released a statement on Sunday saying he was “medically stable” and “holding his own.” “If I got married tomorrow, my best man is Kaleb Dahlgren,” Ingram said. “I know he is receiving treatment in the hospital in Saskatoon right now. He had surgery to relieve some of the pain. He’s doing well, for the most part. “Amazingly, three of the four I knew made it out, but we lost a lot of kids.” For many young hockey players who knew victims, the devastating trauma is their first introduction to death.
“For those directly affected, I can’t imagine what it’s like,” Ingram said. “It [Saskatchewan] is not a very big place and everybody seems to know each other. To see them band together … I mean, I wasn’t even directly involved and the amount of support I’ve received from friends and family, from people I barely know who are reaching out to me, it’s been amazing.” The Crunch’s play-by-play man, Lukas Favale, said on Twitter he will donate $1 for each save Ingram makes until the AHL season ends to the Funds for Humboldt Broncos Go Fund Me campaign. “If he can do that, I can for sure match it,” Ingram said. ”Mom [Joni] and dad [Brent] jumped on board. One of my older brothers [Bryce] jumped on board, too. It’s good to see the support.” The Go Fund Me campaign, started by Humboldt resident Sylvie Kellington on Saturday, had reached $7.5 million as of KTW’s press deadline on Tuesday, with more than 93,500 people donating money. Syracuse, which has already clinched a playoff spot, has three games remaining in the regular season. Forgive Ingram if his thoughts wander from the crease. There are friends on his mind. “I’m still in the shock phase,” Ingram said. “I don’t think it has sunk in. This is not the easiest thing to deal with.” ACCIDENT NOTES There were 29 people involved in the accident, 15 of whom had died as of KTW’s press deadline on Tuesday. The players killed include Parker Tobin, 18, Stephen Wack, 21, Logan Boulet, 21, Evan Thomas, 18, Logan Schatz, 20, Adam Herold, 16, Jaxon Joseph, 20, Jacob Leicht, 19, Logan Hunter, 18, and Conner Lukan, 21. Head coach Darcy Haugan, 42, assistant coach Mark Cross, 27, statistician Brody Hinz, 18, announcer Tyler Bieber, 29, and bus driver Glen Doerksen, 59, were also killed. The Broncos’ bus had the right of way when passing through the intersection northbound on Hwy. 35. The semi-trailer, heading west, had a stop sign. The driver of the semi was unhurt. The RCMP did not comment on the cause of the accident on the weekend and said it was too early to say if charges would be considered. Humboldt was en route to a playoff game in Nipawin. The intersection was the site of a deadly collision that killed six people in the summer of 1997.

Aboriginal youth jostled for Team B.C. spots MICHAEL POTESTIO
STAFF REPORTER
michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kaleb Virgo knew he was destined to be a goaltender from a young age. “Playing in the backyard with my cousins, I was the only kid who didn’t cry when I got hit by the orange ball,” the 18-year-old told KTW outside the dressing room at the Valleyview Arena on Friday. The local netminder and more than 100 other Aboriginal youth from across the province were battling it out for a spot on Team B.C.’s rosters ahead of the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships (NAHC) in Membertou, N.S., next month. The tournament, founded by the Aboriginal Sport Circle and sanctioned by Hockey Canada, brings the best bantam- and midget-aged hockey players together from across the country to showcase their athletic abilities while fostering cultural unity and pride. Seventy-two males and 42 females were competing for 20 roster spots on each team at this year’s selection camp, which was held in Kamloops for the

first time since 2015. Local sisters Kiara and Mya Mack took part in their first camp, and while Mya, 14, plays defence and Kiara, 15, is a forward, there’s no rivalry between them. “I just hope that one of us makes it and we both do really well in it,” Mya said, noting most of the girls at camp were very skilled. Last year, Team B.C.’s boys’ and girls’
teams won bronze — the first time both teams took home a medal. Virgo, who was on last year’s team, said this year his eyes are on the gold, which the boys team has won twice before at NAHC. Being able to make the team again and represent both his province and his fellow First Nations youth is important, Virgo said. “It means everything
to me,” he said. “I think that’s really cool how Indigenous athletes get to come and show what they can do and get to go to another level of the sport and compete,” Mya said. The kids all have family members they think of who have helped get them to this spot and inspire them to go further. “My grandma — just all the support she gave
me over the years,” Virgo said, adding she helped him see the fun side of the game. “My dad,” Mya said. “He’s also a hockey player and I kind of always thought he wanted a son he could coach hockey to, and so he never expected his girls to ever join hockey, so he’s really happy about that.” This year’s selection process was quite competitive,

said Bernard Manuel, performance sport provincial co-ordinator with Indigenous Sport, Physical Activity & Recreation Council (ISPARC), the organization putting together Team B.C. “The athletes, they take away a combination of a cultural and a sport experience where they’re able to celebrate their culture with their teammates and friends and families,” Manuel said. Former NHL goaltender Dwayne
Roloson is coaching the boys’ team this year and was found intently overlooking a scrimmage Friday as the selection process continued. Roloson told KTW he expects they’ll ice a good team as they had a wide range of talented players from which to choose. It is his first year at the helm of Team B.C. Roloson said he wanted to get involved due to his familial connection. “My wife’s family has some ancestry and it’s something that we take pride in,” Roloson said. Team B.C. will be up against squads from Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, New Brunswick, the North, the Atlantic, two from Ontario and an Eastern Door and North team. The tournament begins on May 6 with the preliminary round and ends on May 12 with the bronze and gold medal games. ON THE ROSTER Kamloops players Kaleb Virgo, Breckin Erichuk, Alek Erichuk and Brendan Mucha cracked the Team B.C. boys’ squad. Keagan Fletcher, Carter McLellan and Branden Toye made the team as affiliated players. Georgia McLellan of Kamloops was selected to the B.C. girls’ roster.

Soberlak using horrible experience to help in Humboldt SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
Peter Soberlak didn’t want to believe it. He received a text message on Friday night telling him about the bus crash in Saskatchewan that killed 15 members of the Humboldt Broncos junior A hockey team of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. He went numb. The tragedy is a horrible echo of what Soberlak went through with his Swift Current Broncos teammates in 1986, when Trent Kresse, Scott Kruger, Chris Mantyka and Brent Ruff were killed after the Western Hockey League team’s bus hit a patch of black ice and careened off the highway. Soberlak, an athletic performance advisor for the WolfPack at Thompson Rivers University, spent his weekend in Saskatchewan talking to families and surviving players. He only left the River City for two days, but he said it felt like three or four. “It was pretty busy and intense,” he said. “We spent a lot of time in there [the hospital]. We had some laughs. We shared stories. We had lots of hugs, but
PETER SOBERLAK also lots of tears.” RCMP say 29 people were on the bus when it was T-boned by a semi-truck as the team made its way to Nipawin, where a playoff game was scheduled. Humboldt is a town of 6,000 about 100 kilometres east of Saskatoon. For Soberlak, who also has a master’s degree in sport and exercise psychology, the weekend was all about providing support and hope. It was also about connections. Joining him in Saskatchewan were Sheldon Kennedy, Bob Wilkie, Pat Nogier, Darren Kruger and Bob Harriman. Kennedy, Wilkie and Nogier are all former Swift Current Broncos teammates and co-survivors of the 1986 crash. Darren Kruger is the brother of Scott Kruger, one of the four killed in ‘86, and Bob Harriman was part
of Wilkie’s billet family and was also a first responder for the ‘86 crash. Soberlak said he was heartbroken waking up the morning after the crash. When KTW first contacted him Saturday morning, he was already making arrangements to visit survivors. Looking back at how he spent his weekend, Soberlak said the time he spent at the hospital was full of emotion. “There was a lot of uncertainty and fear and just the full range of emotions at such an intense and powerful level,” he said. “It was just a very powerful, meaningful and moving experience to have the opportunity just to be in that environment and share that.” Survivors were also visited by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Hockey Night in Canada’s Don Cherry and Ron MacLean. Support has been pouring in from around the world. A Go Fund Me campaign has so far raised more than $7.5 million, with the money to be dispersed to families of victims and survivors. “It just shows the love and support out there from everyone,” Soberlak said. Soberlak said sur-

vivors of the crash will need all the support they can get. He also said that a lot has changed since 1986. “What I do know now, compared to when we went through something like this, is that now there are more supports in place. There’s more awareness of the impact, psychologically, and the impact of trauma, both acute and long-term,” he said. “There’s going to be a great deal of pain. You never get over something like this, but there are supports and there are mechanisms and outlets for people to get help and feel supported and feel loved and do what they can to deal with this.” On Sunday, 3,000 people gathered at the Elgar Petersen Arena in Humboldt to remember those who died. Soberlak was in attendance and called the event a first step in
the healing process. “People need to feel connected and feel support, and I think that was a nice way of starting the healing process and the process of coming together and supporting each other and realizing how this affects everybody,” he said. Soberlak said the process of healing will be a long one, but that every bit of support and generosity will help. “These families and the communities just need to wake up every day and try to do their best to deal with their emotions and manage their feelings and try to be as positive and supportive as they can. I don’t think there’s anything past that,” he said. “You have to look after yourself and do what you need to do to be OK, and if you’re not OK, you need to find help.”
DYNAMITERS REACH CYCLONE TAYLOR CUP While the Kamloops Storm fell in the first round of the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League playoffs this year, the action continued, with the Kimberley Dynamiters eventually knocking off the Revelstoke Grizzlies in six games to win the league title. Kimberley will now travel to Richmond to compete for the Cyclone Taylor Cup, the trophy handed to the province’s junior B hockey champions. The Dynamiters have been in the KIJHL final in three of the past four years, winning the title twice. Kimberley will face the host Richmond Sockeyes of the Pacific Junior Hockey League, the PJHL champion Delta Ice Hawks and the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League champion Campbell River Storm. The four-team tourney will run from Thursday to Sunday.

Stewart sets Canadian record in shot put A pair of Kamloops Track and Field Club athletes had outstanding results at out-oftown meets on the weekend. Greg Stewart broke the Canadian record in the disabled F46 shot-put class, throwing 14.91 metres at the Emilie Mondor Invitational in Burnaby. The former record, set by Ken Trudgeon of Edmonton in 2015, was 14.56 metres. Stewart told KTW his goal is to break the IPC Class F46 shot put world record of 15.98 metres, held by Joshua Cinnamo of the U.S. Olympic bronze medallist shot putter Dylan Armstrong coaches Stewart.

Decision time looming on Calgary’s 2026 Olympic bid, council will vote Monday DONNA SPENCER
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Calgary city council will vote Monday whether to continue down the road of bidding for the 2026 Winter Olympics and Paralympics. Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi wants to salvage a potential bid from “the ditch.” He wants to wait and find out if a bid would be a financial boon to the city that also hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics. “I think it’s fair to say it’s a bit in the ditch,” Nenshi said on Tuesday. “The question is, is it worth pulling it out of the ditch or not and I think it is. “It’s not a good time to take the off-ramp. Give us until June to see the money and then we can take the off-ramp if the money doesn’t work. “I think it would be a real shame for council to not to try to pull this thing out of the ditch between now and June.” City council has been wrestling with continuing work on a potential bid. A vote on a slate of recommendations to keep a bid on the table narrowly passed 8-6 in March. Councillors on a priority and finance committee passed a motion 9-1 on Tuesday for council to state its support or non-support for a bid Monday. “Let’s make this decision early before we spend more money, before we take the next big step,” Coun. Druh Farrell said. The price tag of a bid is estimated at $30 million with the city, provincial and federal governments splitting the cost roughly three ways. The Canadian and Alberta governments have stated support for the formation of a bid corporation, with the provincial government in favour of holding a plebiscite to measure public support for the games. “If there’s a deal to be had that Calgarians would like and allows us to maintain 40-year-old facilities and build them when there’s no other source of funding to do so, build facilities like a fieldhouse where there’s no other source of funding to do that, build affordable housing where there’s no other source of funding to do that,
and it means billions of dollars of Calgary taxpayers money being returned to Calgary from the federal and provincial government, I’m willing to take that to the people,” Nenshi said. A city report said a plebiscite would cost just under $2 million and would be conducted between October and February 2019. “The only thing I’ve said about a plebiscite is we’ve got to figure out who is paying for it and the timing has to be right, so the citizens have the information they need to make a decision,” Nenshi said. “The bid budget is $30 million, which doesn’t include a plebiscite.” The International Olympic Committee’s deadline to submit a bid is January 2019. The IOC will vote on the host city in September 2019. “If the plebiscite starts to sneak too much in 2019, then I start to get nervous we’re spending a lot of throwaway money and I hate spending throwaway money,” Nenshi said. “I think something in the autumn, in the October time frame, makes sense to me logistically.” The committee heard Tuesday that Calgary has already spent approximately $6 million on exploring a bid. That sum includes the work of the Calgary Bid Exploration Committee. CBEC estimated the cost of hosting the games at $4.6 billion with games revenue covering almost half. But Kyle Ripley, the director of the city’s bid project team that continued CBEC’s work, told city council last month that estimate is likely too low when inflation, contingency and endowment funds are calculated. The IOC said in January it would provide US$925 million to the successful 2026 bid city. Other cities considering bids include Graz, Austria; Stockholm, Sweden; Sapporo, Japan; Erzurum, Turkey; Sion, Switzerland and a joint effort from Cortina d’Ampezzo, Milan and Turin, Italy. Sapporo (1972), Cortina d’Ampezzo (1956) and Turin (2006) have hosted the Winter Olympics before.

Penguins three-peat, Vegas season top playoff storylines BILL BEACON
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Will the Pittsburgh Penguins create a dynasty with a third straight Stanley Cup, or will Winnipeg or Toronto break Canada’s 25-year championship drought? Can Nashville get the job done after losing in last year’s final, or will the expansion Golden Knights parade the Cup down the Las Vegas strip? Here are a few of the compelling storylines for the 2017-18 NHL playoffs: PITTSBURGH THREE-PEAT? — There had not been a repeat Stanley Cup champion since the 1997 and ‘98 Detroit Red Wings when
the Penguins did it last year. Pittsburgh has the combination of talent and depth to take a serious run at three in a row, unseen since the New York Islanders won four straight from 1980 to 1983. This team plays top-10 scorers Sidney Crosby, Evgeny Malkin and Phil Kessel on separate lines, and has a devastating 26.2 per cent power play scoring rate. Can Crosby tie Patrick Roy’s record with a third Conn Smythe Trophy? VEGAS DREAMS — An expansion team stocked with cast-offs wins 51 games and comes first in the Pacific Division as former Columbus checker William Karlsson
scores 43 goals and ex-Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury shows he’s not done yet. All while being the feel-good story in a city emotionally devastated by a mass shooting that killed 58 people days before the Knights’ first NHL game. Can the improbable run continue in the playoffs? Hard to bet against it. TAYLOR MADE — It’s hard to imagine that Taylor Hall, the star of the 2009 and 2010 Memorial Cup finals and the 2010 first overall draft pick, has never been in an NHL playoff game. But after six years in Edmonton and now in his second with New Jersey, Hall broke out with a 93-point season
_ 41 more than his closest teammate. And he brought the speedy young Devils into the playoffs for the first time since 2012. Now that they’re in, what will Hall do next? OVIE TRIES AGAIN — The Washington Capitals have not gone beyond the second round of playoffs since Alex Ovechkin joined them in 2005, a blemish on the record of the 600-goal scorer who has seen rival Sidney Crosby collect three Cups in the same span. Ovechkin has 46 goals and 90 points in 96 career post-season games, so it’s not all his fault. Perhaps having Philipp Grubauer in goal ahead of playoff bust Braden
Holtby will help. CAN THE JETS SOAR? — Winnipeg looks to have everything this season _ skill, size, speed and even goaltending. Now they just need to win a playoff game. They were swept by Anaheim in 2015 in their only trip to the post-season since returning to Winnipeg six years ago. In their previous incarnation, before moving to Phoenix in 1996, the Jets got past the first round only twice and never made it to the third round. GHOSTS OF THE PAST — There are only a handful of Toronto Maple Leafs left from the team that blew a
4-1 lead and lost 5-4 in overtime to Boston in Game 7 of their first-round series the last time they met in the playoffs in 2013. Toronto had done well to battle back from a 3-1 series deficit to force Game 7, but then it all came apart. Patrice Bergeron tied it at 19:09 of the third frame and won it 6:05 into OT. They are both quite different teams now, but Bergeron’s still in Boston. HUNGRY PREDATORS — The Predators got in as a wild card last spring and went all the way to the Cup final. Now Nashville wants more. The were first overall in the regular season
with 117 points. They certainly have the goaltending, defence and depth to make another run. If they win, half of Montreal may lose it, either in joy or angst, when P.K. Subban lifts the Cup. NATE THE GREAT — The Predators firstround opponents are the amazing Avalanche, who rode Nathan MacKinnon’s breakout season to a wild-card spot after finishing last overall last season. The Avs improved by 47 points from last season and much of it had to do with MacKinnon’s 97-point campaign. But of all the underdogs, the Avs may have the toughest playoff test.

HUMBOLDT, Sask. — A Calgary trucking company that owns the semi truck that collided with the Humboldt Broncos bus, killing 15 people, has been ordered to keep its vehicles off the road. A spokesman with Alberta Transportation says Adesh Deol Trucking Ltd. started operating last fall. John Archer says the government suspended
the commercial carrier’s safety fitness certificate on Monday. He says the move is standard procedure and the company passed recent inspections. The Saskatchewan junior hockey team was on its way to a playoff game Friday when the crashed happened north of Tisdale. RCMP have said the truck driver survived the accident.
Blue Jays put 1B Morales on 10 day DL with hamstring injury THE CANADIAN PRESS
The Toronto Blue Jays have placed first baseman Kendrys Morales on the 10-day disabled list with a strained right hamstring. The injury occurred while Morales was running out a single in the second inning of Monday night’s game against the Orioles. Morales remained on first base after being examined, but was replaced by a pinch runner after advancing to second on a fielder’s choice.
Toronto manager John Gibbons expects Morales to return after the minimum stay on the DL, adding that Morales will likely start taking batting practice on Wednesday or Thursday. Morales is batting .227 with one homer and six RBIs in eight games. The Blue Jays filled the roster spot by recalling reliever Tim Mayza from Triple-A Buffalo on Tuesday. The left-hander was 1-0 with a 6.88 ERA over 17 innings for Toronto in 2017.

Germany mulls idea of forcing automakers to upgrade diesel cars

features is growing every year. We’ve highlighted four vehicles here. Each costs under US$25,000 and has the features we’ve mentioned above, plus other qualities that make them attractive beyond their affordability. 2018 TOYOTA C-HR XLE (US$23,495) The highly stylized 2018 Toyota C-HR is an all-new subcompact SUV sporting aggressive body lines and plenty of standard features. It’s a good example of how Toyota is among the manufacturers leading the charge on making advanced safety tech standard across the board. Toyota Safety Sense is a basic suite of aids that many Toyota models receive.
On the C-HR, it includes automatic emergency braking and lane departure alert. It also has automatic high beams that can detect if vehicles are present and can toggle between high- and low beams to maximize nighttime visibility and avoid blinding other drivers. In addition, the C-HR gets lane keeping assist, adaptive cruise control that works to a standstill, and a special pre-collision system that can detect pedestrians and vehicles. The C-HR Premium trim, which would’ve exceeded our US$25,000 cap by just US$345, also includes blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert. See ACCORD, A30
D#30150
utomakers have come a long way from safety features such as seat belts and air bags that are meant to prevent injuries in a crash. Today, manufacturers are adding advanced driver aids that can fend off an accident in the first place. And there’s a good chance your next new car will have them. What’s an advanced driver aid? It’s kind of like an autonomous sidekick that’s ready to step in to help you prevent an imminent collision. Adaptive cruise control, for example, can adjust your cruise
speed and following distance with respect to the vehicle ahead of you. It’s often paired with automatic emergency braking that applies the brakes when the system senses a collision is about to occur and the driver doesn’t react in time. Lane keeping assist, which automatically makes small steering corrections if it senses you drifting out of your lane, and blind-spot monitoring, which lets you know if a vehicle is hovering in your out-of-view rear quarters, are two other key technologies we’ve found valuable for improving safety. These features were once solely in the domain of expensive luxury cars. But the number of vehicles with a basic set of advance safety
BERLIN — The German government is considering forcing automakers to upgrade diesel vehicles that fail to meet emissions standards. Chancellor Angela Merkel’s ministers will discuss the idea at a two-day retreat at the Meseberg mansion house near Berlin starting Tuesday. Some in Merkel’s new cabinet have resisted imposing costly measures on Germany’s powerful auto industry, but a recent court ruling allowing cities to impose bans on heavily polluting diesel cars is forcing the government to act. German car manufacturers have been embroiled in the scandal over excessive emissions from diesel cars. Germany’s transport minister on Tuesday announced the first of four subsidy programs for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure. Andreas Scheuer said the government will spend US$27 million to support e-car purchases by companies including Deutsche Post AG.

high beams, lane keeping assist, and an adaptive cruise control that works down to a full stop, just like the C-HR’s system. Additionally, the Accord’s frontfacing camera recognizes speed limit signs and displays that information discreetly in the instrument panel. We’ve found this feature surprisingly useful.
2018 HONDA ACCORD LX (US$24,460) As far as midsize sedans go, the comfortable and spacious 2018 Honda Accord is Edmunds’ favourite. Even the base LX trim is satisfyingly easy to drive because of its quick acceleration and precise handling. The Accord’s Honda Sensing suite of safety features is one of the most comprehensive around, with automatic braking, automatic
SUBARU IMPREZA HATCHBACK 2.0i (US$24,050) The 2018 Subaru Impreza is the only car on this list with standard
all-wheel drive, an advantage if you frequently drive in wet or snowy conditions. This is a comfortable small car and the hatchback model provides more rear headroom and cargo space than the Impreza sedan. Subaru calls its safety suite EyeSight, and it relies heavily on a sophisticated set of cameras that provide depth perception, much as human eyes do. Unlike the Toyota and Honda models on this list, EyeSight isn’t standard equipment on the
Impreza. The suite includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist and steering-responsive foglights that swivel to better light the road through bends. You’ll have to get the midlevel Premium trim level and add EyeSight but, even so, this Impreza sneaks in under our price cap at US$24,050. 2018 NISSAN SENTRA SR W/ PREMIUM PACKAGE (US$24,945) The Nissan Sentra has long
been a staple in the small sedan segment. It may not be our overall favourite in the class, but considering the comfort features and advanced driver aids you can get for under US$25,000, it’s a bargain that’s hard to overlook when compared to competitors. The Sentra SR comes standard with automatic braking and adaptive cruise, though its cruise control operational range is between 20 m.p.h. and 90 m.p.h. and it won’t stop for you.

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS
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 have some marbles, each of one colour red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. There is one of one colour, two of another, three of another — all the way to six of some colour. The number of red marbles plus the number of orange marbles plus the number of yellow marbles is odd and is equal to the number of green marbles plus the number of blue marbles. There are more red marbles than orange marbles, more orange marbles than yellow marbles and more green marbles than blue marbles.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Miranda Elayne Kuss If you love something, love it completely, cherish it, say it, but most importantly show it. Life is finite and fragile and just because something is there one day, it might not be the next. Miranda Elayne Kuss was born on September 6, 1989 in Kamloops, BC and resided there until May 2012 when her dreams and aspirations took her to Fox Creek, AB. She passed away on September 20, 2017 in Valleyview, AB after a very courageous and determined battle with cancer at the age of 28 years. From the time she was a child, the warmth of her smile, the laughter in her eyes, her quick wit, her smile, her bold determination and her strength of character endeared her to many. Miranda’s gifts of perception, common sense, organization and perseverance enabled her to successfully meet the challenges she faced, either in her volunteer position with Victim Services or with her job as Parks and Recreation Coordinator for Fox Creek. Her sense of community spirit led her to build public garden boxes, organize art shows, instruct Can Skate classes for kids, organize community events and volunteer with the RCMP. Miranda’s warmth and sensitivity, touched many and brought smiles to all she crossed paths with, both professionally and personally. Miranda leaves behind her soulmate and partner in crime Calvenn Lanktree, his family Bill and Dena Lanktree, Serah and Tyrell Small and the extended family of the Haynes’s and Lanktree’s. She leaves behind her mother Rebecca Kuss, as well as her family and friends from BC and Saskatchewan. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, April 21, 2018 at 11:00 am at the Yacht Club, 1140 River Street in Kamloops, BC. Memorial donations may be made to Kamloops RCMP Victim Services.
In Loving Memory Of Thelma Joan Vaughan

Thelma is survived by her daughter Natasha (Frank) Linteris and grandson Alex Linteris, son-in-law Dave Garcia and grandson Maddax Garcia.

Alice was always up for a game (or two) of cribbage with friends, a game of golf or tending her house and garden in Kamloops. Alice enjoyed her holidays afar with sister Gail, her visits to her Ontario sisters and visits with Colleen and family in Australia. Most importantly Alice loved her family.

The Ship by Henry Van Dyke
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. She is on object of beauty & strength & I stand & watch her, until at length, she is only a speck of white cloud just wheret he seas & sky meet and mingle with each other. Then someone at my side exclaims, “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight, that is all. She is just as large as she was when she left my side & just as able to bear her load of living freight to the place of her destination. Her diminished size is in me, not her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says she is gone, there are other eyes watching for her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes!”.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Theresa Ternes (Shackelford) Theresa Ternes (Shackelford) passed away at the age of 63. She was born in Janesville, WI but spent most of her life in the Seattle area which she loved. I met her in college and we fell in love. She looked 10 years younger than what she was because of her sense of humor and youthful thinking, along with genetics. Years later I brought her to Kamloops to be with my family for a while. Her dream job (7 years) was working at Bookland on the North Shore. The store closed and my wife went into a depression. An antidepressant (mirtazapine) was given to her and that spelt the beginning of the end of her life. The drug’s withdrawal effects were extreme. 32 trips to the hospital with her “brain on fire”, proved too much for her to take. She loved her mom Madeline Shackelford, dad William Shackelford, sister Elitha, brothers Jeff and Rod all from Seattle. She cherished her two beautiful daughters Lindsay and Tiffany, son-in-law Rory Bamford and me Terry Ternes, her husband of 30 years who had an undying love and dedication for her. A Public Memorial will take place at Kamloops Christian School, 750 Cottonwood Ave., on Saturday, April 14, 2018 at 1:00 pm. Casual dress.

After the war, he moved to Kamloops and worked as a professional driver on several pipeline construction projects across the province, was part owner of a taxi company. Robert met Sylvia in 1957 while she was in training to be a nurse at Cariboo College; this began a love affair that led to them being wed in 1962. Robert completed his career as a stores man/bus driver for Cariboo College sports teams which sometimes kept him away from the family on weekends. However, he was an enthusiastic supporter of his boys and their sports activities. He put thousands of miles on his green station wagon chauffeuring the boys to hockey or soccer practices, games and tournaments. Robert was a fun-loving, humorous man who loved spending time with family and friends playing cards, dominoes, or enjoying a good meal. As a retiree, Robert and Sylvia enjoyed travelling, mostly on bus tours that included stops at unsuspecting casinos. When not on tour, Robert enjoyed Western films and books, and sharing tall tales with his pals in the McDonald’s coffee crew. Thank you to Dr. Vlahos for her care over the past years.

And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!
