Residents of a quiet cut de sac in Brocklehurst say they were not surprised to see a heavy police presence outside a home on their street this week — part of what Mounties have said is a murder investigation. According to neighbours, at least a half-dozen police cars sat outside 1431 Woodstock Pl. on Thanksgiving Monday. Police have said their work at the home was part of their investigation into the murder of Troy Gold. The 35-year-old was reported missing last week and police confirmed on Wednesday that he had been murdered. Residents of four Woodstock Place homes spoke with KTW, but none were comfortable having their names published. “I think everybody knows there has been some concerns about that house for a while,”

one neighbour said. “It’s one of those things. Everyone knows something isn’t right — the people that come and go. It’s one of those things.” Police have said no arrests have been made, but noted suspects have been identified. The Woodstock Place home is believed to be associated with a 23-year-old Kamloops man believed to have gang ties. One neighbour said the home, which is listed for sale, is owned by the 23-year-old’s grandparents and property records show it is registered to a couple. A call to the home on Wednesday was answered, but KTW was told the 23-year-old was not home. Police have said a crime scene in Lac du Bois is also connected to Gold’s murder. Investigators have not said whether Gold’s body has been located. Gold has a lengthy criminal history, including a manslaughter conviction in connection with a stabbing death on a

Kelowna beach in 2001. According to a Kelowna Daily Courier story, Gold was 19 when he attacked 32-yearold Martin Cotey with a knife after approaching Cotey and his girlfriend on Okanagan Lake beach the early morning of Aug. 7, 2001. “Armed with a carving knife and spoiling for a fight, Gold told Cotey to get off his beach,” the Courier story stated, quoting court testimony. “Cotey, 32, tried to appease him and Gold stabbed him, leaving him to die. A pathologist said he would have bled to death if he hadn’t drowned first.” Gold was sentenced to 10 years in prison. In April 2015, Gold was sentenced to almost two years in prison after pleading guilty to robbing a Kelowna bank. In 2012, he served six months behind bars in connection with a robbery in Victoria, while also compiling assault and theft convictions in Sydney.

Safety protocols are being cited after a compressor leak containing ammonia triggered the shutdown of the Logan Lake Recreation Centre, southwest of Kamloops, early Thursday morning. “The public and district staff can rest assured that we’ve got a good plan in place,” Logan Lake CAO Randy Lambright told KTW. Just after midnight, the fire and ammonia alarm systems were triggered, resulting in emergency personnel deployed to the site. Nobody was inside the building, which includes an arena, curling rink and weight room, at 31 Chartrand Ave. Earlier this year, an ammonia leak in an arena in Fernie killed three people. Asked if the situation could have been deadly had residents or staff been inside the building, Lambright said: “I don’t want to speculate.” Nothing is 100 per cent, he said, though he reinforced his confidence in the safety protocols, noting district staff and fire personnel immediately arrived on scene when the alarms went off. “At the end of the day, all we do is put the stuff in place and believe in it, try to create as safe of an environment as we can — and I believe we have,” Lambright said. It is unclear whether that compressor needs replacing. Lambright said that will be evaluated. The cause of the leak is also unclear. “We’re kind of evaluating that right now,” he said. “We’ll know more once we’ve got the results.” The centre’s ice plant facility and safety protocols were recently improved. The safety plan includes: fire and ammonia alarms, personnel arriving on scene and a venting-fan system to purge the building. The recreation centre has since reopened to the public.

TOPPING TREES IS A “GROWING PROBLEM” When pruning your trees, make mostly thinning cuts (removal of branches right back to the parent branch or trunk) and avoid creating stub ends. Make your cuts just outside of the branch collar (a slight thickening where the branch joins its parent branch or trunk). Flush cuts destroy the tree’s defense zone. Remember, don’t remove more than 20% of the green. Prune It Right! Four easy steps: 1. Remove dead, damaged, or diseased branches. 2. Remove suckers and watersprouts. • crossing or rubbing each other • growing into the centre of the tree • growing into walkways, roadways, or buildings 4. If desired, trim slender branch tips a few inches to a bud or a parent branch. Visit Kamloops.ca/ HealthyLandscapes for more information.

Winter Driving, Please Use Caution With the weather changes and decreased daylight hours, follow these simple safety tips to stay safe when walking: Look - make eye contact with drivers before crossing the road Listen - remove your headphones when crossing the road Be Seen - wear reflective clothing or use a flashlight to make yourself more visible

WASTE REDUCTION WEEK

• Stub ends are a sign of poor pruning. This kind of pruning destroys the health and beauty of the tree. • Disease enters via the stub ends, making the tree a short-lived and potentially dangerous one.

• The tree retaliates by producing an unruly crop of weakly attached water sprouts that are prone to disease and breakage. • The tree ends up looking even bulkier than before; it soon needs repruning.

TRU students, staff may yet get a dining hall MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Thompson Rivers University committee is examining options for better food services. On Wednesday, David Porter of Porter Khouw Consulting — the firm hired by the committee struck this past February to address food service concerns at TRU — presented survey results and recommendations to about 40 students in the Campus Activity Centre. Porter presented two options for a dining hall as a long-term idea to improving food services for students and staff. He said the facility would add more value to living on campus, while also increasing socialization amongst students in a comfortable, living room-type setting. The first model is a purely retail scenario resembling a typical food court. The other model is an any time dining venue that features more self-serve options, which could accommodate more evening and weekend service — an issue identified by respondents in the company’s survey. Both models would also address complaints received regarding a lack of food variety on campus and contain many other amenities, including charging plugs, soft seats and study spaces, Porter said. The options in the two models are almost identical, with the main difference being the method of payment. An any time dining facility would involve the customer paying a fee to enter and then having access all they can eat, rather

than picking out items and paying at a register. The model is one that has been implemented at other universities, including Simon Fraser University, Porter added. He identified four potential spots on campus to build the hypothetical dining hall — next to Old Main Building, near the basketball courts below Old Main, in the building now housing the culinary arts department is or in the Campus Activity Centre. Numbers in his presentation to students suggested constructing a building about 1,600 square feet in size, with about 470 seats. Short-term options proposed by Porter included adding an any time dining facility in the culinary arts building if space becomes available or converting a section of the Campus Activity Centre into a dining hall. The university could offer students the ability to order and pay for catered food online and be more proactive in changing menu options or providing leftovers from catered events to students on campus, he said. The survey yielded 2,100 responses, most of which came from TRU students. The results showed many people choosing to order out and eat off campus for a variety of reasons, the most prevalent being a lack of menu variety, price and food quality and freshness. Porter was also at TRU for three days last month conducting interviews and focus groups, during which he heard complaints about long lines, lack of variety and limited hours of operation.

He said it wasn’t uncommon to hear students who commute to campus go home to eat and that others utilize food delivery services from grocery stores and the Skip the Dishes app. Questions were also raised as to why TRU doesn’t have a dining hall, Porter said. His research also showed dissatisfaction with TRU’s foodmanagement company Aramark, which yielded many negative comments when focus groups were asked to rate their overall satisfaction with the company. “It wasn’t really a complete condemnation of the operator, but it wasn’t complete support of the operator, either,” Porter said. Aramark operates nine food outlets in multiple buildings on campus and has worked with TRU since 2003. The company’s contract was last renewed in 2013 and is scheduled for a review in 2018. Changes to food services at TRU would likely require a new contract, Porter pointed out. “Whether you continue with Aramark or not, you’re still going to have to renegotiate the contract with Aramark to implement a program like this because this program, with the extended hours and the more variety, they’re not going to it for what they’re doing it foe now,” Porter told the crowd. After receiving feedback from the committee, Porter said his company will create a final report on one of the two options presented to students. He said the final report will also indicate whether TRU’s food-management contract should be rebid and how seriously self-operation should be considered.

MORTGAGE MATTERS Renters!! Are you ready to buy? People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy? Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy. 1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much

are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment?

2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job? 3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs? 4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do? 5) Inventory – Perhaps most importantly ... what is available for sale in your price range, in the neighbourhood you prefer and in the style of home that you desire? A premature step into something that is only second best for you and your family begs a “for sale sign” in your future. Get it right the first time. Shop the market and be prepared to take a break if what you see doesn’t make you happy. 6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will allow a borrowed down payment. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% down payment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc. 7) Nobody Moves Nobody Gets Hurt – Staying exactly where you are involves the least amount of work, least amount of change and least amount of money out of your pocket ... in the short term. Preparing yourself for home ownership is something that can start today and gets you set up for the long term. A trip to your mortgage broker is part of that plan. Contact me if you are interested in my once per month “mortgage school” home buying education series. Homebuyers and supportive friends and family are welcome!

Study linking speed hike and crashes disputed by MLA Stone TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An increase in fatalities, injuries, crashes and insurance claims on some B.C. roads is linked to a 2014 decision by the former provincial government to raise speed limits on the rural highways, according to a new study — a study former transportation minister Todd Stone has described as “borderline irresponsible.” “Our evaluation found increases in fatalities, injury, and total crashes on the road segments where speed limits were increased,” according to the report, published in a journal called Sustainability. The study was led by Vancouver General Hospital emergency room physician Dr. Jeff Brubacher, and co-authors included road safety engineers at the UBC Okanagan campus. “There was a marked deterioration in road safety on the affected roads. The number of fatal crashes more than doubled (118 per cent increase) on roads with higher speed limits.” Speed limits on 1,300 kilometres of provincial highways in rural areas across the province were raised in July 2014. A maximum speed of 120 kilometres per hour on the B.C. roads made them the fastest in Canada. Earlier this year, a massive multi-vehicle crash near Hope, on the Coquihalla Highway, resulted in more than two dozen people being rushed to hospitals. It was another in a series of crashes on the highway that had safety experts saying the speed limit should be reduced to even lower than what it was in 2014. Brubacher said “things got a lot worse” on the highways where speed limits increased, especially on the Coquihalla Highway. “You will recall there was a lot of controversy at the time. Public health experts said ‘don’t do this’ and so did I,” said Brubacher, a road safety researcher who is also an associate professor at the University of British Columbia.

He chairs the British Columbia Road Safety Strategy Research and Data Committee and also sits on the City of Vancouver Traffic Safety Advisory group. “All of the pro-speed arguments, like the one that people were already driving over the speed limit, have been disproven in this research. The prospeed advocates who’ve lobbied for speed limit increases have based their view on crappy data at the time. The mistake should be admitted and speed rolled back because, from a safety point of view, it was the wrong decision,” he said. Brubacher and his UBC coauthors conclude their study by saying that communities across Canada, especially those with slippery winter roads or those where roads traverse mountainous terrain, “should learn from this experience and resist pressure from pro speed advocates to raise speed limits without due consideration to road safety. “Travel in rural B.C. is particularly hazardous because of a harsh winter climate, mountainous terrain … and the fact that large regions of the province are remote with limited access to post-crash trauma.” Stone, the minister of transportation at the time of the 2014 changes, said the study and its findings are riddled with problems. “The findings are highly suspect and, frankly, borderline irresponsible,” he told KTW. “They’re tapping into people’s worries and fears.” According to Stone, the study’s authors left a lot out when gathering their data. “This report does not in any way include weather conditions, distracted driving and so forth,” he said. “It’s also concerning that the report relies heavily on fatalities and collisions in percentages.” For instance, Stone said, the report states fatalities are up 118 per cent in B.C. since highway speed limits were hiked. The margin of error on that figure is listed at up to 225 per cent.

“So it’s possible there was actually a decrease,” Stone said. “I’m very concerned these authors have presented findings in what appears to be a manner that raises some serious questions.” The Transportation and Infrastructure Ministry said in a statement that periodic reviews are done and the ministry is now looking at three years of data. It is possible some speed limits will be reduced on sections of highways where speed limits were increased in 2014. That already began in 2016, when speed limits were rolled back on two sections of roads — Highway 1 from Hope to Cache Creek and Highway 5A from Princeton to Merritt. On other highways, safety features were added, including road signs, rumble strips, speed signs and wildlife warnings. The ministry statement said that a rural safety and speed review in 2014 resulted in higher driving penalties in addition to the increased speed limits on 33 sections of highways. The ministry said speed limit changes were made “based on a careful and thorough engineering assessment using speed zoning practices recommended by the Institute of Transportation Engineers and adopted by road authorities throughout North America.” Stone said he is looking forward to see what the ministry of transportation’s traffic engineers recommend. “I prefer to rely on the professionals,” he said. “I worked with them for four years. I think we all should defer to the expertise of the traffic engineers.” Stone said he thinks a regular report on speed limits from the ministry of transportation could be made public within weeks. Report co-author Gord Lovegrove, a transportation engineering expert and associate professor at UBC Okanagan, said the government should have acted sooner, given that his research team shared data with the government before study publication. — with files from Vancouver Sun

Search for recent missing plane yields aircraft that vanished in 1987 KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Police and search crews looking for a plane believed to have gone down in the North Thompson last month have stumbled upon another aircraft — one not seen since 1987, according to Mounties. The discovery was made on Sept. 18 by pilots from the Joint Rescue Coordination Centre, but not made public until Wednesday. According to an RCMP press release, search crews from the air found the 1987 wreck in a remote area near Kostal Lake in Wells Gray Provincial Park, which is about 90 minutes north of Kamloops.

“The preliminary investigation indicates that this is a missing plane from Salmon Arm,” RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said. “The white Piper Supreme Club plane left Eagle Bay for a fishing trip to McDougall Lake on June 20, 1987.” Two men were aboard the plane: pilot Ernie Whitehead, 78, and 55-year-old passenger Len Dykhuizen. Both men were from Eagle Bay. “Extensive searches for this plane yielded negative results,” Moskaluk said, noting weather conditions in recent weeks have hampered efforts to fly into the area and get to the crash site.

Recovery efforts are slated to resume in the spring. “This area is very remote and there are no roads or trails to access the crash site,” said Clearwater RCMP Sgt. Grant Simpson. “The families of both occupants have been advised of the discovery and are aware of the ongoing efforts.” The discovery of the crash site came as crews were searching for a plane that disappeared last month while flying from Edmonton to Chilliwack. The white Vans RV6 two-seat private plane went down on Sept. 11 somewhere between the two cities and searchers have been focused on the Yellowhead Highway corridor.

“A victory of a play”

‘Mom and pop’ pot shop planned JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 55-year-old Kamloops man hopes to open a “mom and pop” pot shop in North Kamloops. Chris Lyth has applied for a cannabis license to open a private store, dubbed The Shore Cannabiz Shop, at 399 Tranquile Rd., at the corner of MacKenzie Avenue. “I think it’s an exciting time as cannabis becomes legal,” Lyth told KTW. “It’s not too often our generation gets an opportunity like this.” The application is headed to city hall on Oct. 30 following the legalization of recreational cannabis on Oct. 17. Lyth has lived in Kamloops for seven years. He said he has

gone through many hoops to get this far in the process, including paying pricey fees and selffinancing. Lyth said no financial institution would back him and his wife in opening a store, noting he can’t even open a business account to pay employees. Lyth suspects U.S. influence on big banks is to blame and hopes that will change come Oct. 17. “It’s a little bit frustrating, to be honest with you,” he said. Financing is not the only hurdle in opening a cannabis store. “Finding a location [commercial space], I feel sorry for a lot of people trying to find a shop,” he said. Should the cannabis licence be approved, Lyth would still need to complete renovations. If city council approves the licence

at the end of the month, his application must go back to the province. “I’m hoping a couple weeks after we receive conditional approval that we’d be able to open. When that is, I don’t know,” he said. Lyth’s application will go to council the same day as an application from a pair of local restaurateurs, Dino Bernardo and Chris Monteleone. They, along with friend Justin Cuzzetto, hope to open Fiore Fresco in the Fortune Shopping Centre. The first cannabis licence application — for a government shop in Columbia Place Shopping Centre in Sahali — will come to council next Tuesday, a day before legalization. That store is expected to be the first legal pot store in B.C.

ACQUIRING A TASTE OF TRADE

t wasn’t all that long ago that B.C. wines made their way onto grocery store shelves, but thanks to the new trade agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico, it looks like they’re going to have to share that space with wines from south of the border. Industry experts predicted there would be a trade challenge to the B.C.-only designation as the options were being discussed in 2015. That arrived a few months after wines showed up next to groceries in the form of complaints to the World Trade Organization in 2016. What’s actually killing that exclusivity, though, is the USMCA — the trade deal that replaces NAFTA — with B.C.’s wine industry being used as a bargaining chip in favour of central Canada’s auto industry. It was pretty much inevitable the B.C.-only wine provision would disappear sooner or later. The questions are what effect will it have and what people can do moving forward. Patrons can choose to not buy U.S. wines when they appear on grocery store shelves. There is no need for a boycott. Why would a vino fan want to buy a lower quality, large-batch wine when offered quality small lot wines from Kamloops and area wineries, while supporting the local economy at the same time? Price is an obvious answer and some will sacrifice taste if they save a few bucks. But one does not have to be a wine snob to appreciate the difference between good and bad wines. Since buying wine is a luxury purchase, why not spend a little more for a satisfying experience? And, if people aren’t purchasing mass-market imports, grocery stores have less incentive to have them in their wine aisles. Trade agreements or not, a retailer can’t be forced to stock items that aren’t selling. Quality usually trumps other factors and the quality wine produced locally — at Monte Creek, Harper’s Trail, Privato and Sagewood — should be enough to fend off inferior imports.

More Reefer Madness

ne substance kills about 100 people per day, every year, in the nation, according to Health Canada. Another substance kills thousands annually, led to more hospitalizations in Canada last year than heart attacks, according to data from the Canadian Institute for Health Information, and costs the health-care system billions each year. The third substance is being used more and more in a medicinal role, including in replacing deadly opioids in pain relief, while still being best known as a relatively benign way to get high. Guess which of the three has been banned, and which of the three remain in use, at Thompson Rivers University? Obviously, the question would not have to be asked if the powersthat-be at TRU didn’t come down with a head-scratching decision. Yes, marijuana use on campus will be banned once cannabis is legalized next Wednesday, with exceptions in place for those with prescriptions. The university cited wellness of students in its decision, which would be defensible only if it had added alcohol and tobacco to the marijuana prohibition. (Perhaps the policy will change when a revenue-generating cannabis Den opens on campus.) To be clear, marijuana is not an entirely harmless substance. Lighting anything on fire and sucking the smoke into one’s lungs is not a healthy endeavour, while precautions must be taken when consuming other forms of cannabis.

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS The Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction notes chronic use can negatively affect mental and physical health, memory, attention and thinking. The marijuana of today is far more potent than the marijuana of my youth and it can indeed adversely affect teenage brains. Teenagers should not use marijuana. For the adults who attend TRU, however, it remains puzzling that university brass has decided to prohibit the least harmful of the three vices to which we tend to gravitate. The decision to ban marijuana use, but allow far more dangerous substances to be used on campus, is ridiculous, but not surprising. On the eve of cannabis legalization, we remain in a weird Reefer Madness state, with various agencies panicking over something that has been de facto legal for many, many years. We have hands being wrung over how police will test drivers for marijuana, yet millions of Canadians have for years smoked dope without marijuana-made mayhem on the roads.

(Meanwhile, the legal substance, alcohol, continues to create carnage on highways.) We have cities like Kamloops gouging owners of cannabis stores with excessive business-licence fees ($5,000 annually) while purveyors of alcohol outlets pay a fraction of that amount ($200 annually) for selling a product that costs society more in money and lives in one year than marijuana will in a lifetime. We have restrictive rules on packaging marijuana and advertising its sale, with the government cannabis store set to open in Kamloops next week likely to resemble a Soviet-era bread store in decor. Yet cross the parking lot and one will find a liquor store spilling over with colours, brands, logos, and sale prices. Open the newspaper, turn on the TV and listen to the radio and tell me how long it is until you read, see or hear someone urging you to buy that 24-pack of Bud for an amazing low price. When weed is legalized next Wednesday, Kamloops will be home to a media circus, which is understandable as the city will be home to the only legal marijuana store in the province for the time being. It is newsworthy. But these stores, illegal as they are, exist now in Kamloops and beyond. Very little, if anything, will change — aside from the novelty of buying a gram without risking arrest. Whether the Reefer Madness mindset is smoked out of society remains to be seen. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR GETTING OPEN YOUR EYES — AND YOUR NOSE ATTACKED ONLINE Editor: Regarding the political spectrum worksheet given to a Grade 10 class at Valleyview secondary (‘SD73 will investigate following politically divisive worksheet assignment,’ Oct. 3): I live in Juniper and when I saw parent Matt DeFouw’s online post about the matter, I left a comment saying I thought the worksheet was pretty accurate. I was then deluged with hateful responses. I was called names — “bitch, commie, retarded, idiot, moron” — and so on. Besides the personal attacks, there were other disturbing comments. One fellow made a racist comment about “Mooselums.” Another said “This is a serious problem, if allowed to continue next they will be handing out Korans and telling them they have to read it, that if they don’t read it they will be right wing radical racists.” This from another: “Who are you going to be able to complain to. ... more hardcore left thinkers? Politics should not be taught in public schools because 99.9% of teachers are leftards. Either liberal or communists.” I copied, pasted and saved a few of the comments. I am glad I did because the entire post was removed. Linda Davidson Kamloops

Editor: In reading printed and online news reports about problems in society and in our own city, it isn’t hard to see how devastating the abuse of drugs has become. In capital letters, it has been the OPIOID crisis. But, like an elephant in the room, does crystal meth still destroy people’s lives? In 2013, Kamloops’ former top cop, Insp. Brad Mueller, advised that crystal meth was an increasing problem in 2013. Does it remain an insidious problem in 2018? I would truly like to have public feedback from emergency services to gain a better insight with regards to methamphetamine use in Kamloops. I have done some research into

production of methamphetamine in clandestine labs. Even calling these operations “labs” is a huge stretch. As part of my reading, likely the most important part the public can play is to be aware of their surroundings. I like that advice given by lawenforcement agencies. Yes, we hear of finding dirty needles and other materials used in the drug trade, but there is more. Can Kamloops Fire Rescue and the City of Kamloops perhaps publish an information brochure online to advise the public what to do if they notice chemical smells, a strong smell of urine or chlorine or the odour of solvent, along with the sight of dead or dying vegetation? These things are not normal and

should be considered suspicious. When researching what is used to make crystal meth, it made my heart skip a few beats and sent a chill down my spine. Apparently, it can be made in small or large amounts, with the waste discarded into drains, toilets and public places. Can anyone imagine some youngster playing in an area where that toxic waste has been discarded? What I gleaned from the reading I have done is that suspicious smells and physical evidence should be reported to authorities so appropriate action can be taken. We are a community, together, for the good of all. John Noakes Kamloops

FREEDOM OF SPEECH TRUMPS COMPLAINTS Editor: I like freedom of speech. The Opinion page in the Oct. 5 edition of KTW contained two attacks on freedom of speech. The letter from Tony Jones (‘Pro-life protesters’ signs re-traumatize women’) opens with “I am all for one’s right to protest and teach their religion in any way that is deemed legal.” (By the way, what if someone is opposed to abortion for nonreligious reasons?) Jones then states how he is actually not all for it. If thinking about a matter

retraumatizes someone, perhaps enough rational thought has been given to the matter. Maybe both sides of the argument should be considered. People are responsible for their own feelings. No one can make you feel bad without your consent. Then there was a reply to a story (‘Cavers wants city to ban campaign signs on public property’), with an online commenter wanting to adopt Edmonton’s bylaw that states signs should be at least 10 metres from private driveways.

Considering how wide properties are, that would make it very difficult for an urban homeowner to post election signs. Besides, these signs are such an insignificant, short-term issue. If it is the potential for distraction, try going after billboards or store signs first. Do not count on my support though. I like freedom of speech. How about you? Gene Wirchenko Kamloops

Bus company awaits decision TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The head of the agency tasked with regulating passenger bus service in B.C. said it is unclear whether a new company will be operational in Kamloops by Nov. 1 to fill the void left by Greyhound, which plans to pull out of Western Canada at the end of the month. Jan Broocke, director of the Passenger Transportation Board, said multiple applications have been received by her office and are being looked at. “Some are being reviewed by the board currently,” she told KTW, noting “the board is aware” of the desire of some operators to have service in place in time to avoid any service gaps after Greyhound leaves B.C. When asked whether she thought service from an applicant would be in place by Nov. 1, Broocke would not speculate. “I don’t know,” she said. “I can’t say. The board is aware of the timeliness and

the critical nature of it. … The board will have a decision as soon as possible.” Greyhound Canada announced in July it would end service in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, with the last day of operations slated for Halloween. The lone remaining route in Western Canada will be a bus between Vancouver and Seattle, operated by Greyhound’s American arm. Since the announcement, a number of potential operators have spoken out with plans to fill the void, including smaller shuttle service and bus service. Most recently, an Alberta transportation company has applied with the Passenger Transportation Board for Ebus, a service that would operate twice-daily bus service on three routes: Kamloops to Vancouver, Kamloops to Kelowna and Kelowna to Vancouver. Ebus has been operating in Alberta since 2011. It is part of the company that operates Red Arrow, another passenger bus service. Ebus is proposing to run three routes.

Route A would see a minimum of two round-trips per day from Kamloops to Vancouver, using the Coquihalla and Trans-Canada highways, with stops in Merritt and Abbotsford. Route B would see a minimum of two round trips per day between Kamloops and Kelowna via Highway 97, with a stop between the two cities in Vernon. Route C would see a minimum of two round-trips per day between Kelowna and Vancouver using the Okanagan Connector, with stops in Merritt and Chilliwack. John Stepovy, the company’s director of business development, told KTW the firm believes the routes can work because of Pacific Western’s 40-year focus on transporting people, noting there will be no freight service with the accompanying multiple stops along the routes. He said fares would be similar to those now charged by Greyhound and that, instead of a central bus depot, the company hopes to partner with local hotels to establish departure and dropoff kiosks, as is done in Alberta.

Trustee hopefuls quizzed on school issues MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

A two-week spring break, public engagement and the importance of fine arts were among topics posed to candidates at a well-attended school trustee forum on Tuesday night at St. Andrews on the Square. The night featured all 10 candidates vying for five spots as Kamloops-area trustees in School District 73, alongside Caroline Thompson, one of the two trustees running for the trustee seat that represents Sun Peaks, Sun Rivers, Chase and a part of Barnhartvale. Questions began with trustees being asked what their goals are for engaging with the public. Newcomers gave a few ideas, while the three incumbent trustees gave current examples. Challenger Keri Schill said there needs to be more time spent at PAC meetings, while fellow challenger Adam Jensen mentioned the need to talk to students, PACs and the administration so more voices can factor in to decision making.

Trustees need to find a way to get people interested in what the board does, challenger Bowen Cooluris said, suggesting trustees attend meet-the-teacher nights to engage with parents. Challenger John O’Fee stressed the importance of the media in communicating with the public, mentioning a weekly column he used to write while in public service. (School trustees and members of city council write monthly columns for KTW.) Incumbent Meghan Wade listed a variety of public functions she attends, while fellow incumbent Joe Small mentioned how much he enjoys speaking with teachers. Incumbent Kathleen Karpuk spoke of the board’s efforts to engage with parents when meetings are held in outlying communities. The incumbents were also asked why they voted last year to return to a one-week spring break despite feedback from teachers, students and parents that was largely in favour of two weeks — a

question that received a round of applause from the audience. Wade and Karpuk said the board’s motion asked that a twoweek spring break be negotiated within SD73’s next contract, in 2019, with teachers. “The board did not say no to a two-week spring break,” Wade said, citing the fact SD73 is the only school board in the province that has in its contract with teachers a mandatory start date for spring break, regardless of when Easter falls on the calendar. Karpuk said the board also wanted to ensure some of its lowest paid staff had an extra week’s worth of salary and heard concerns from parents surrounding the number of days kids are out of schools. Small said he was one of the dissenting voices in that vote, which he said did approve a oneweek spring break for the next three years, claiming that a provision in that motion hindered being able to negotiate a two-week spring break with the district’s unions.

All candidates were asked to list one thing they would like to see to improve the experience for kids in kindergarten. Challenger Donovan Cavers said classroom size is critical for students in kindergarten, while Jensen said there is a need to encourage more learning through play. Schill said there needs to be more funding for more playgrounds, challenger Heather Grieve suggested teaching more about diversity and Karpuk said she’d like to see StrongStart dropin programs operating at every school. Thompson said she plans to strengthen the connection between day cares and community schools. All candidates expressed a positive outlook on the fine arts in schools. Challenger Beat Klossner said arts programs can be expensive for kids, arguing the district needs to ensure they are fully funded. Wade mentioned a lack of music teachers, who are difficult to

attract to the district. Cavers said the relationship with the province needs to be rebuilt to ensure teachers at all schools in SD73 have the appropriate resources for fine-arts programs. Asked how they plan to engage with students and teachers at their assigned schools (trustees are assigned a number of schools to which they are connected), O’Fee said it’s important for a trustee to visit schools, Thompson said she plans to visit with the people she will be representing at community events and Schill stressed the need to attend PAC meetings. Klossner noted he likes to visit with students and teachers and listen to their concerns, while Grieve said she plans to strike a balance between her work with Interior Health and her school trustee engagements. Small said, as a retiree, he has the time to visit schools and has done so during his term, but plans to do more if re-elected. Voters go to the polls on Saturday, Oct. 20.

Getting the youth vote primed and ready SOUTH KAMLOOPS STUDENTS ENGAGE CANDIDATES ON THE ISSUES

Students also asked questions. One-by-one they stood, raising queries about everything from homelessness to community safety to taxes. Two topics that hit close to home were the impacts of cannabis legalization and congestion at local schools, which has been an issue — especially at Valleyview secondary — as the city grows. Arjun Singh said the latter falls under the jurisdiction of the

Kamloops-Thompson school district, but noted the city plays a supportive role lobbying the provincial government for funding. Grade 8 student Elliot Baskin asked two questions, first directing to mayoral candidates possible changes they’d like to see, assuming full support from council. Christian cited the performing-arts centre, a proposal defeated by voters in a 2015 referendum. Asked by Baskin

what industry could dominate the city in the future, council candidate Giesbrecht said the River City is primed for wellpaying jobs combining technology and trades. Speaking after the forum to KTW, Baskin said he was pleased with answers from candidates, noting they were not required to appease students who cannot yet vote. The 13-year-old was not shy facing a panel of the city’s current and future politicians.

“I’ve always had a love for politics because it shows us the freedom of our country and how we have a voice,” Baskin said. This is the second year the school has held an allcandidates forum (it held one during last year’s byelection) and South Kamloops secondary teacher and event organizer John Annicchiarico compliemented candidates for engaging with the next generation. More candidates showed up than

expected and he said it is important students have a “conscience contact with democracy.” It appears to have worked. Grade 12 student Lennard Wiederkehr said while he doesn’t remember much from a unit on politics during socials class, the forum was an opportunity to learn and become better informed. “I always thought it [civic politics] would be super confusing and stuff,” he said. “But for the most

part, it’s just day-to-day stuff.” Moving from South Korea to Canada, Grade 11 student Tae Hwan Kim said he has never participated in anything like the forum. “It was refreshing to see candidates taking the time,” he said. “Their [candidates] time is valuable because it’s so close to the election — taking time out of their lives to talk to teenagers, most of them can’t even vote yet.” So, for whom exactly would they vote? While most students said all candidates impressed, Wiederkehr appreciated Sarai’s direct approach, excitement and solutions to problems. Kim, meanwhile, noted Christian’s confidence and said he “knows what he’s talking about.”

ill Sarai and Ken Christian would have picked up votes on Wednesday if some South Kamloops secondary students just shy of the voting threshold could cast ballots on Oct. 20. About 120 high school students from grades 8 to 12 filled the library during B block for a chance to hear from candidates running in the upcoming civic election. “I think it was awesome,” Grade 12 student Kaden Dempsey said, noting he is months away from cresting the 18-year-old voting age. Mayoral candidates Christian and William Turnbull were joined by a dozen others vying for one of eight council seats: Jennifer Adams, Nicholas Adams, Dale Bass, Chris Bose, Corally Delwo, Dennis Giesbrecht, Jimmy Johal, Stephen Karpuk, Caroline King, Alison Klie, Sarai and Arjun Singh. Absent were Donovan Cavers (he made a brief and late cameo), Ray Dhaliwal, Dieter Dudy, Shawn Harnett, Sadie Hunter, Mike O’Reilly, Kathy Sinclair, Denis Walsh and Gerald Watson. During brief introductions, candidates stressed to youngsters the importance of voting in four years’ time, but also encouraged them to go home and tell their parents to vote and ask to be taken with them to the polls. “It’s really time for you guys to get involved,” King said.

Forum hears need for housing affordability CITY HALL SD73 TNRD

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the best-attended forum to date during this year’s civic election campaign, council candidates made their pitch on Wednesday night to the Central Interior chapter of the Canadian Homebuilders Association downtown at the Colombo Lodge. Housing affordability, land availability, the BC Energy Step Code and red tape at city hall were the topics du jour as many candidates pulled a double shift following an all-candidates forum earlier that day at South Kamloops secondary. Mayoral candidate William Turnbull and council candidates Chris Bose, Dieter Dudy and Shawn Harnett were absent from the CHBA event. On the issue of housing affordability, Denis Walsh suggested tax incentives to encourage developers to build

rental homes. He said current incentives benefit the buyer, not the builder. Mike O’Reilly suggested less prescriptive zoning and said Thompson Rivers University needs housing to accommodate its student body. Students are currently pushed into the city, he said, driving up costs and decreasing vacancy. Calling the cost of housing “prohibitive,” Dale Bass said young adults can’t

afford to buy houses in Kamloops. Mayoral candidate Ken Christian said there is a need for entry-level housing. “For my kids and for your kids,” he said. “I think that’s really important.” The BC Energy Step Code has been a concern among homebuilders, who say implementing the new

provincial green standards too quickly will trickle down with added costs to homebuyers in a market that already has issues with affordability. The program is voluntary and certain municipalities are adopting it early. CHBA-CI president Kelly Reid said the challenge in Kamloops is capacity of energy advi-

sors, which could result in permit processing times jumping from six weeks to six months. “Every cost — eventually the houses don’t get built because it just can’t be or the homeowner is eventually the one who pays that cost,” Reid said. Homebuilders also note energy-efficient homes have come along in recent years and point to old houses for causing the most greenhouse gas emissions. “Every dollar spent on a pre-1985 house is the equivalent of $10 on a new house, in terms of benefit,” Reid said. “We should be looking at fixing the old houses.” Donovan Cavers was targeted directly on the Step Code by one CHBA member during the question-and-answer period. Asked directly about his credentials to be a city spokesperson for the BC Energy Step Code, Cavers said he has none. He was appointed by

the mayor to the city’s sustainability committee (which Cavers chairs) and voters ultimately decide which councillors to elect, Cavers said. He again took the brunt during a speed round of yes-or-no answers gauging support for twinning of the Trans Mountain pipeline. “Anonymous?” he asked of the questioner’s identity. “Unanimous,” someone yelled from the audience. Those pledging support for the pipeline project were Christian, O’Reilly, Nicholas Adams, Corally Delwo, Ray Dhaliwal, Dennis Giesbrecht, Sadie Hunter, Jim Johal, Stephen Karpuk, Caroline King, Bill Sarai, Kathy Sinclair, Arjun Singh and Gerald Watson. Opposed were Cavers, Walsh, Jennifer Adams and Alison Klie. Bass said she is undecided, but leaning

toward opposing the project. CHBA member and past-president Rob Lemire said the homebuilder community — from developers to tradespeople to buyers — represents a significant investment worth millions of dollars of business in Kamloops. He encouraged candidates and future councillors to attend the association’s monthly meetings to get a feel for the group’s side. City staff attend regularly, with one development services staffer on the board of directors. “We are down at the city more often than not and more often than most, so we do have a pulse and check on what’s going on,” Lemire said. Reid said the homebuilders have a good relationship with the city’s development and engineering services department, but could benefit from more staff.

Cooluris’ focus is on students’ future MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bowen Cooluris wants to help students discover their future. The 36-year-old sales manager said he wants to be a helpful hand in a growing school district and views his unsuccessful bid for trustee in 2014 as a learning experience. If he is elected on Oct. 20, Cooluris said he wants to focus on helping students by putting a greater emphasis on programs that allow them to get more work experience. “I want to give students more exposure to that side of their schools,” Cooluris said. Personally speaking, he said he had no idea what he wanted to do after school and thinks a lot of that indecision had to do with just not knowing about his options. He feels this can be addressed by creating more mentorship programs and keeping an eye on the trends of the current job market. Cooluris said he also wants to

tackle the problems created by increased enrolment in SD73, noting portables are a good temporary solution, but arguing the board needs to plan better for how to deal with future growth in a more effective way. That growth is something he thinks won’t subside any time soon. “Kamloops as a whole is becoming a destination — any investment magazine you look at says Kamloops is a place to be if you have a young family,” Cooluris said. “It’s still affordable and it’s big enough and has all the amenities you would need.” The Brocklehurst resident said he would bring fresh new ideas to the board as a young father of two children in the school system. Given his work experience, he said he has the “financial literacy” to help deal with financial issues at the school board level. To contact Cooluris, voters can email him at bowencooluris@gmail. com.

More forums for voters Kamloops This Week is hosting an all-candidates forum at Thompson Rivers University on Monday, Oct. 15. The free public event will be held from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Grand Hall on the second floor of the Campus Activity Centre.

Q: It seems that most Retirement Communities in Kamloops have waitlists? Can you tell me more about how they work. A) If you or a loved one are considering senior living options, you may have begun doing research on retirement communities. This varies from one person to another because some senior living decisions are needs-based and move much quicker, while others are more preference-based and can take months or even years. Once you choose a few specific places that meet your criteria, you may want to consider getting your name on their waiting list. Ideally, one should not wait until the day they need to move to begin planning as there could be a wait list for the community of your choice. Some communities such as Berwick on the Park have various levels of support and care and as such may have various requirements depending on the individuals level of independence or support needed. Many communities have an active base of residents who live independently today, but want to be where care is available to them on site if needed. These communities usually accommodate independent living, assisted living and complex care. The open-ended wait list is the more flexible of the two types. When your name reaches the top of the list, you are not required to move in immediately; you can keep your top position on the list and wait until the next desired suite opens up. The challenge with this type of list is that it gives an inexact picture of how many people are actually ready to move to the community so it can appear to take a long time for your name to come to the top slot. Some facilities have a “three strike rule” wait list. As the name might suggest, for these communities, if you get to the top of the list and turn down an opening three times, you get bumped back to the bottom of the list. You will even run across a few communities that have a one strike rule for their lists. When doing your research one of the questions you might want to ask is how their wait list works. In many cases adding your name to a retirement community wait list is a great way to plan for your future. This may give you peace of mind knowing you are being proactive and the various levels of care are available.

Kamloops MLAs still have concerns about a $40-billion liquidified natural-gas project in northern B.C., despite the work their party and former government did to get the LNG industry established in B.C. “[Premier] John Horgan has publicly speculated that he may or may not bring forward legislation to the house with respect to the additional tax incentives the government has provided [the project],” Kamloops SouthThompson (B.C. Liberal) MLA Todd Stone told KTW. Last week, LNG Canada — a partnership of Royal Dutch Shell, Mitsubishi Corp., the Malaysian-owned Petronas, PetroChina Co. and Korean Gas Corp. — announced it was moving ahead with the project that will see a 670-kilometre pipeline carrying natural gas from Dawson Creek to a terminal in Kitimat, where it will be liquefied for export. Construction is expected to take about five years. In March, Horgan’s government promised LNG Canada $5.3 billion in tax breaks, including exemptions to planned increases in the carbon tax and exempting construction from the provincial sales tax. He also is reportedly considering the possibility of

bypassing the need to repeal the 3.5 per cent LNG income tax, which was a condition of LNG Canada’s final investment decision. Passed by the Liberals in 2014, the tax contained an implementation clause never enacted by the previous government that can potentially just be left dormant, rather than repealed, which would require a vote in the legislature. Exemption from the PST was done via an in-cabinet decision and the attorney general’s office is researching ways to avoid the legislature on the carbon tax exemption as well. Stone said such multi-bil-

lion dollar tax breaks should be brought forward to the legislature for debate in order to maximize transparency surrounding the agreement the NDP government has in place. “What we’ve been told is this was built upon the foundation of the details that were framed up by the former Liberal government, but with about four-and-a-half to $5 billion of additional tax incentives layered on top,” Stone said. “It’s fine to say that, but show me the documents, show me the paper so that on behalf of my constituents, I can scrutinize this agreement and make sure that it’s

in the best interest of the taxpayers of British Columbia.” Stone’s sentiment is shared by fellow B.C. Liberal and Kamloops NorthThompson MLA Peter Milobar, as well as by Green Leader Andrew Weaver, whose party is propping up Horgan’s minority government. “We want to see the detail of what some of these tax breaks and agreements are, but I think it’s clear that short of caving the provincial economy with the dea,l we’re supportive of [the project],” Milobar said. According to the Vancouver Sun, Weaver said his party would prefer such decisions be made through a vote to ensure everything is done in good faith. In a statement, Weaver said he was “deeply disappointed” the tax breaks resulted in a final investment decision on the project, which the Greens oppose on the grounds it will be a massive new source of greenhouse gas emissions, meaning the rest of the economy will have to make more sacrifices to meet B.C.’s climate targets. “In opposition, the NDP were outspoken critics of the Liberal’s LNG regime, then rightly noting that it did not

amount to a fair value for our resource and that the emissions were too high,” Weaver said. “Our caucus was shocked when they turned around and delivered an even larger giveaway once in power.” Weaver said the government does not have enough votes to implement its LNG regime and will have to work with B.C. Liberal MLAs if it wants the project to proceed. Milobar said the Liberals have nothing to gain from opposing the project as a vote on tax breaks wouldn’t be one of confidence, but he suggested the premier may not want to bring the file to the legislature because it would force members of his caucus to vote for LNG despite having campaigned against it in the past. “I can only imagine how disappointed the rank and file membership of the Green party must be to see the lack of follow through,” Milobar said adding that the Site C dam project also is also moving ahead despite Green objections. The LNG Canada project, which involves shipping out 14-million tonnes of LNG every year, has the approval of the National Energy Board, Department of Fisheries and Oceans, BC Hydro and 25 First Nations.

A School District 73 teacher from Blue River has been recognized for her passion and dedication to education. Maymie Tegart is among nine winners of the inaugural Premier’s Awards for Excellence in Education. Teaching a multi-grade classroom in the tiny North Thompson community in 2016, Tegart took the learning outside and brought nature into the classroom by turning a spare class into a greenhouse. The students started seeds for their garden, raised funds with their plants and learned about life cycles and pollinators

through observation and handson-learning. Tegart also played a key role in the rural school’s 100th anniversary last year, organizing and creating an event that was a celebration not only of the school, but also of the community 2.5 hours north of Kamloops. Tegart, along with the students in her class, came up with all of the plans for the day, created invitations, decorated with incredible historic displays, created a video and wall murals and provided refreshments and entertainment for all of those in attendance. “The district is extremely

proud of the work Ms. Tegart has been doing in Blue River,” SD73 Supt. Alison Sidow said. “Her passion for teaching and community involvement is inspirational and it’s wonderful to see the community come forward to nominate her — it’s clear she is making an incredible difference.” Tegart and her fellow eight recipients were narrowed down from 188 nominees. Each winner was awarded a commemorative artwork, a $3,000 personal bursary for professional learning and $2,000 contribution for their school community professional learning.

PRINCE GEORGE — The company that shut down its main natural gas pipeline through British Columbia following an explosion and fire Tuesday night says it has restarted a smaller line running beside the damaged pipe. Enbridge said it received National Energy Board approval Wednesday night to restart its 76-centimetre line, which was shut down as a precaution because it is in the same path as the 91-centimetre line that ruptured and exploded near Prince George. The Calgary-based energy supplier said the line was carefully checked before permission was received to restart it at about 80 per cent of normal capacity. FortisBC, the company that depends on the Enbridge line for about 85 per cent of the gas it delivers to its one million customers, said in an online notice that gas is now flowing, but customers are still asked to cut back. It said restoring flow in the smaller line is a positive step, but until the damaged larger line is repaired, a shortage of natural gas continues. In response to the call for conservation, the B.C. Institute of Technology has tweeted that heat is off on the north side of its Burnaby campus until further notice, while the University of B.C. has told researchers and other non-essential users to immediately stop using natural gas. The UBC bulletin said although gas use should still be restricted, “UBC buildings that use natural gas for heating, hot water and cooking are no longer expected to be impacted.’’ Puget Sound Energy asked its customers to conserve natural gas. “Our local gas system is safe and was not damaged by the pipeline failure,’’ it said. In an earlier news release, Enbridge said it is working with other companies to find alternate supplies of

gas to meet demand. Investigators are still

Fort St. John hillside continues to move CANADIAN PRESS

FORT ST. JOHN — A slumping hillside that is threatening dozens of homes in northeastern British Columbia has prompted an evacuation alert for part of

the city of Fort St. John. The alert was issued on Wednesday for a section of the city’s southernmost outskirts at the top of the steep hill overlooking the Peace River and the riverbank community of Old Fort.

The slow-moving landslide began more than 10 days ago and has gradually torn up the only road to Old Fort, toppled power lines and forced the Peace River Regional District to order the evacuation of all 54 homes.

THE LAW

Vancouver lawyer disbarred for using clients’ money to pay gambling debt SCOTT BROWN

VANCOUVER SUN

VANCOUVER — The Law Society of B.C. has barred a Lower Mainland lawyer from practising law after determining he used $400,000 belonging to his clients to settle a personal debt. Stephen Neil Mansfield was disbarred after a law society panel ruled on Oct. 5 that he committed professional misconduct while playing a shell game with divorce settlement awards in 2016. The law society investigation revealed that Mansfield, who practised family law with the Bayshore Law Group, deposited a client’s $200,000 child support award amount into his own trust account. Mansfield admitted that he intentionally misappropriated $200,000 from his client, identified in the decision as TH, in order to “meet a debt.”

The law society ruling then said Mansfield persuaded a second client, identified as YZ, to settle a matter with his ex-wife. The settlement included a payment of $200,000 to the client’s former spouse. Mansfield used YZ’s money to pay back TH. “[Mansfield] admits that he encouraged YZ to propose the settlement and pay the funds into the [Mansfield’s] trust account in order to replace TH’s money, as TH had been requesting her $200,000 in child support,” the decision said. Mansfield blamed his actions on a gambling addiction. The law society panel said however unfortunate his personal circumstances may be, “the existence of a gambling disorder is not a mitigating factor justifying his conduct, nor do they suggest disbarment is not an appropriate sanction.”

B.C. company outfitting six Boeing 737s to fight wildfires in U.S., Australia VANCOUVER SUN

VICTORIA — A half-dozen Boeing jets bought by a Port Alberni company last year will still be ferrying passengers after they’ve been retrofitted by the family-owned firm, but the planes will also be putting out wildfires. The Coulson Group, a threegeneration business started in 1960 by Cliff Coulson as a forest products company, is keeping 50 employees busy outfitting the 737-300s in Port Alberni. Once they’re ready — and the first one will fly out in 10 days — the planes will head to the United States and Australia, a new weapon to combat increasingly severe wildfires. “We’re the first to convert 737s to

fight wildfires,” said Wayne Coulson, Cliff’s youngest son and the Coulson Group’s president and CEO. “They are the only plane in the world that can multi-purpose, they can transport 70 firefighters, drop them off, head to the retardant pit and load up, and off they go.” The 737s were bought from Southwest Airlines, which had to put 50 of them up for sale due to federal rules in the U.S. concerning how many different vintages of planes the airline was allowed to fly. About 70 per cent of Coulson Group’s firefighting occurs over the U.S. and 30 per cent in Australia. It will take the refitted 737s two days to fly to Australia. The U.S. planes will be based in Las Vegas.

NATIONAL NEWS

Pot workers won’t automatically be denied entry to U.S., border agency says CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canadians working in the pot industry will not automatically be barred from travelling to the United States, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection agency now says. The news will be a relief for hundreds of Canadians already working to scale up Canada’s legal pot industry ahead of the legalization of recreational marijuana next week. And it appears to be an about-face for the American government. In September, agency spokespeople said anyone who admitted to working legally in Canada’s cannabis shops and factories could be barred entry to the U.S. — and possibly even be banned for life. Even just being an investor in a pot company could be enough to raise suspicion at the border. However, in an updated statement posted to its website this week, the agency now says that working in the industry alone is not likely enough to be denied entry. “A Canadian citizen working in or facilitating the proliferation of the legal marijuana industry in Canada, coming to the U.S. for reasons unrelated to the marijuana industry will generally be admissible to the U.S.,’’ the statement says. “However, if a traveller is found to be coming to the U.S. for (a) reason related to the marijuana industry, they may be deemed inadmissible,’’ Canada’s legal marijuana law takes affect Oct. 17, but while several U.S. states have made pot legal, it

remains illegal under U.S. federal law. Generally, a person who is a known drug abuser or has been convicted of or admitted to drug offences in the U.S., Canada or elsewhere, will be turned away at the border. Len Saunders, a Canadian who practises immigration law in Washington state, said he was totally, but pleasantly, “shocked’’ by the U.S. 180-degree turn on those who work in the cannabis industry. “This is what I was hoping for,’’ said Saunders. When the original statement came out in mid-September, he said he figured two years of lobbying efforts had failed. He has no idea what changed in the last three weeks. “This helps hundreds of thousands of Canadians who have any sort of direct or indirect involvement in the Canadian cannabis industry,’’ he said. “Everyone is calling me, whether it’s CEOs or regular workers or those with remote connections to the cannabis industry.’’ Saunders had been telling Canadians in the industry that they should be concerned. Now he said he will tell them to print out this new statement and take it with them to the border to ensure whomever they deal with there can see what the policy says. Saunders said it’s important to note that Canadians involved in any elements of the U.S. cannabis industry, in states where it is legal, like Colorado or Washington, may still be denied entry. But for Canadians in the marijuana industry, he said it is “the best-case scenario.’’

Mother charged in son’s death CANADIAN PRESS

ORANGEVILLE, Ont. — The mother of a toddler swept into a swollen Ontario river earlier this year is facing charges in her son’s death.

Police laid the charges nearly eight months after Kaden Young drowned in the Grand River. Michelle Hanson is facing three charges, including impaired driving causing death.

EMERGENCIES ARE NOT RESTRICTED TO 9 TO 5 SCHEDULE

lan Hobler has a phone with him 24 hours a day, seven days a week. He knows it could ring at any hour and doesn’t mind waking up, knowing full well that phone call could lead to saving someone’s life. “I want to help, I want to be there to support people,” Hobler said. “Some of our members have been in similar situations and it’s time for them to give back, too.” Hobler has volunteered with search and rescue organizations for more than a decade and is manager of Kamloops Search and Rescue. The volunteer organization has between 30 and 50 members who are required to put in about 200 hours per year. Some, however, spend upward of 1,000 hours responding to calls to help paramedics, Mounties, firefighters and coroners. “We’re looking for significant time commitment,” Hobler said. “A lot of it is training.” Members are taught how to perform rope rescues, track missing people and canvas terrain that paramedics, police officers and other professionals would otherwise be unable to access in an emergency. In addition to its skilled volunteer group, KSAR also has two certified search dogs.

“They’re trained and they’re sort of born and bred to be SAR dogs,” Hobler said. Calls for help from the search and rescue team most frequently come between 7 p.m. and midnight. It receives about 35 calls annually, though 2017 was a record year, with almost 50 calls. Sometimes volunteers arrive on scene and are immediately turned around. That’s the best-case scenario, however, because on other occasions they find people who have died in the outdoors. Hobler has seen too many drownings and said if he has learned anything while volunteering with search and rescue teams, it’s the need to wear a life jacket. “It’s just amazing the number of people that drown,” he said. About every two years or so, however, Hobler said he and his team are in the right place at the right time with the right training — and have been the difference between life and death. It’s those rare occasions and being part of a team that make those late-night phone calls and hours of training throughout the year truly worth the effort. “That is a pretty special feeling,” he said.

Stamping their legacy from coast to coast Over five consecutive days in September, Canada Post unveiled a stamp issue to pay tribute to five groups of Canada’s emergency responders. The stamps express the respect and gratitude of Canadians to emergency responders, professional and volunteer. They were unveiled at events and locations that helped to tell the story about the front-line responders being honoured, who serve communities all across Canada. The Paramedics stamp was unveiled at the Ambulance New

Brunswick headquarters in Fredericton. It was a fitting choice because it is expanding the services that paramedics can provide. The stamp depicts two paramedics giving lifesaving treatment and an air ambulance.

The next day at CFB Valcartier in Quebec, the stamp honouring regular and reserve members of the Canadian Armed Forces was released. It depicts CAF members responding to a major flood, which they have had to several times in recent

years. On the third day, Canada Post paid tribute to the country’s search and rescue experts by unveiling a stamp depicting a team performing a helicopter extraction in the mountains. The unveiling was held

in Banff, home to Parks Canada’s Mountain Safety Program. The fourth day saw the firefighters’ stamp unveiled in Halifax, the city where the country’s oldest fire department was established in 1754. The stamp depicts a

determined firefighter up close as two firefighters battle an inferno in the background. The final unveiling was the stamp to honour civilian and sworn members of Canada’s police services. The stamp depicts an officer in the foreground whose cap badge and insignia are generic — to represent police across the country. The stamp was unveiled in Ottawa, home to the Canadian Police and Peace Officers’ Memorial. The stamps are all available in postal outlets and on canadapost.ca.

ASSOCIATED PRESS

PANAMA CITY, Fla. — The thirdmost powerful hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland in recorded history left a wide path of destruction across Florida and Georgia, destroying homes and shopping centres and felling trees that killed at least two people. And it’s not done yet. Hurricane Michael finally weakened to a tropical storm on Thursday, no longer a Category 4 monster packing 250 km/h winds. But it was still menacing the southeast U.S. with heavy rains, blustery winds and possible spinoff tornadoes, soaking areas swamped by epic flooding last month from Hurricane Florence. By 5 a.m., Michael’s eye was about 72 kilometres west of Augusta, Ga., packing top winds of 80 km/h and moving at 33 km/h into South Carolina, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. Thousands of law enforcement officers and search and rescue teams rolled out in its wake to find survivors amid the wreckage of homes where people defied evacuation

orders. Michael washed away white sand beaches, hammered military bases and destroyed coastal communities, stripping trees to stalks, shredding roofs, toppling trucks and pushing boats into buildings. It will take some time for residents of north Florida to take stock of the enormity of the disaster. Reaching the worst-hit areas isn’t easy. The Florida Highway Patrol closed 80 miles of Interstate 10, the main eastwest route along Florida’s Panhandle, to clear debris. Many homes were ripped apart or washed away altogether in Mexico Beach, a town of 1,000 where the hurricane made landfall and the storm surge pushed lead-grey water up to the rooftops. Authorities said falling trees killed a man outside Tallahassee, Fla., and an 11-year-old girl in southwest Georgia. An Associated Press team drove for miles and encountered extensive destruction around Panama City, just west of where the centre of Michael’s eye hit the shore. Although most homes were still standing, no property was left undamaged.

Liew couldn’t be reached for immediate comment.

GLOBAL VIEWS

WAITING FOR THE OTHER SHOE TO FINALLY DROP

hey still haven’t dropped the other shoe. The Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 C contains terrifying forecasts about what will happen when we reach an average global temperature 1.5 degrees C higher than the pre-industrial average. We are now at +1 C. But the report still shies away from talking about the feedbacks, the refugees and mass death. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) ordered this special report in 2015, after the Paris climate agreement effectively admitted that the traditional target — stopping the warming before it reaches 2 C higher — had been set too high. By then, really bad things would already be happening. So all the countries that want to stop the warming before it goes runaway (all nations except the United States) formally kept

WATCH the “never exceed” target of +2 C, but said governments should “aspire” to stop the warming earlier, at +1.5 C. And they asked the IPCC to figure out how hard that would be. The answer, revealed at a meeting in South Korea on Sunday, is “very hard.” We have effectively wasted the past 30 years, since the climate change threat first became known, and there is now very little time left. In order to skid to a halt, brakes on hard, before we hit +1.5 C, we will have to cut our greenhouse gas emissions by almost half (45 per cent) in the next 12 years.

To cut emissions that fast by 2030, we would have to decide to close all the remaining coal-fired power plants within the next two years. It would take the next decade to get that done and get the same energy from expanded renewable sources (water, wind and solar), leaving us just on track to reach zero emissions by 2050. Climate scientist John Skea, who worked on the report, summed it up: “Limiting warming to 1.5 C is possible within the laws of chemistry and physics, but doing so would require unprecedented changes.” Those would be changes of a scale that people would readily accept if they faced an imminent invasion by Nazis or Martians — but changes they are less willing to make when their whole environment is at risk. Humans are funny that way. The report is a bracing dose of realism in many ways. It effectively says we

can’t afford to go anywhere near +2 C. It talks bluntly about the need to end all fossil-fuel use, reforest vast tracts of marginal land and cut down on meat-eating. It even admits we will probably have to resort to geo-engineering — “solar-radiation management” in the jargon. “If mitigation efforts do not keep global mean temperature below 1.5 C, solar radiation modification can potentially reduce the climate impacts of a temporary temperature overshoot, in particular extreme temperatures, rate of sea-level rise, and intensity of tropical cyclones,” the report states. Pumping sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere is scary stuff, but so is runaway warming. So far, so good. At least it’s being honest about the problem, but only to a point. “Not in front of the children” is still the rule for governments when it comes to talking about the mass movements of refugees and the civil and inter-

national wars that will erupt when the warming cuts into the food supply. And they still don’t want to talk openly about the feedbacks. People forget this is a governmental project run through the United Nations — the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — not just a scientific one. Scientists write the body of the report, but the executive summary (the only part that most policymakers and journalists will ever read) is negotiated between the scientists and governments. The governments take climate change very seriously these days, but they worry that too much frankness about the cost in

lives of going past 1.5 C will create irresistible pressure on them to take radical action now. In the ensuing struggle between the scientists and the politicians, the executive summary always gets toned down. What got removed from the summary this time was any mention of “significant population displacement concentrated in the tropics” at +2 C (i.e. mass migrations away from stricken regions, smashing up against borders elsewhere that are slammed shut against the refugees). Even worse, “tipping points” are barely mentioned in the report. These are the dreaded feedbacks — loss of Arctic sea ice, melting of the permafrost, carbon

dioxide and methane release from the oceans — that would trigger unstoppable, runaway warming. They are called “feedbacks” because they are self-reinforcing processes that are unleashed by the warming we have already caused and which we cannot shut off even if we end all of our own emissions. If you don’t talk about feedbacks, then you can’t talk about runaway warming and going to a 4, 5 or 6 C higher average global temperature, and hundreds of millions or billions of deaths. If you don’t acknowledge that, you will not treat this as the emergency it really is. gwynnedyer.com

Massive cuts to meet targets THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Canada would have to cut its emissions almost in half over the next 12 years to meet the stiffer targets dozens of international climate change experts say is required to prevent catastrophic results from global warming. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change said there will be irreversible changes and the entire loss of some ecosystems if the world doesn’t take immediate and intensive action to cut greenhouse gas emissions far more than is occurring now. That means trying to limit the increase in the average global ground temperature to 1.5 C,

rather than 2 C as specified in the Paris agreement. At 2 C, everything from melting sea ice to droughts, famines and floods will be significantly worse than at 1.5 C, the report said. If people don’t act now, the report stated, we will hit 1.5 C somewhere between 2030 and 2052. To prevent that, the world has to cut the amount of emissions released each year by 2030 so that they are no more than 55 per cent of what they were in 2010. For Canada, that means emissions would need to fall to a maximum of 385 million tonnes a year. In 2016, they were almost twice that and the Canadian government’s current aim is to cut to about 512 million tonnes a year.

Even that more modest goal is out of reach for now despite plans such as the controversial national carbon price, making buildings more energy efficient and eliminating coal as a source of electricity by 2030. Dale Marshall, national program manager at Environmental Defence, said the ongoing political fight over carbon pricing and criticism of Liberal energy policies is scaring the government into being more timid about its climate plan, while the report shows being timid is not going to cut it. “Parties and governments that actually understand the science and believe in action need to be more courageous than they’re being,’’ he said.

HOME SHOW FRIDAY, October 12, 2018

Get inspired for the fall at weekend home show

The Kamloops Fall Home Show is back with plenty of ideas for homeowners. The 20th annual show will be at Sandman Centre this Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and this Sunday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. As always, admission is free. It remains a great opportunity for anyone interested in home renovations or design, but also features a wide array of general interest items, from health products to small home gadgets, said show manager Jim Rice. More than 100 businesses will be participating. “If you are thinking about doing any renovations in your home, the show is a good place to come and look for some ideas,” Rice said. More than 5,000 people are expected to attend this weekend and Rice advises those interested in checking out the plethora of booths to arrive early. Started by Jim Rice in 1998, B.C. HomeShows Ltd. — the province’s secondlargest independent home-show producer — stages numerous shows each year in Kamloops, Salmon Arm and Vernon.

Here’s how to survive Learn how to grow! the next home renovation Homeowners invest large sums into improving their homes to make them more comfortable living spaces or to increase their odds of selling quickly. Whether one is doing a large renovation or a small remodel, life may be turned upside down during the project. Furniture may be moved out of the room, walls may be demolished, water or electricity may be turned off and appliances may be missing or not hooked up. Home improvements often drum up dust and disarray. Such projects can try the patience of any homeowner and things may get worse before they get better. Even though remodeling can be taxing, the end result is often worth it. Here’s how to look forward to the silver lining and come out unscathed: DISCUSS THE PROJECT All family members should be in agreement before the first hammer is swung. Decide on as many

details as you can ahead of time and have a firm plan in place. Establish back-up choices for tiles or color schemes in case the items you want are out of stock. Trying to make decisions under duress may result in bad choices. ONE PROJECT AT A TIME It’s tempting to want to improve as much as possible at once to maximize motivation and renovation materials. However, having no place in which to escape the mess can elevate stress levels. Do not think about renovating kitchens and bathrooms all at once or you will not have any working fixtures for tasks like washing up. EVERYTHING IN PLACE Before demolition even begins, have building materials bought and stored, contractors and subcontractors lined up and see what you can do to minimize the time workers need to spend in your home.

EXPECT DELAYS In a world where things move at lightning speeds, renovations have not gotten the memo. Home projects take lots of time and will likely take longer if you are doing the work yourself in your free time. Build lots of extra time into the project so you are not disappointed when delays happen — even when you’ve done your best to avoid them. PLAN AN ESCAPE ZONE Construction environments can be messy, loud, smelly and a host of other unsavory adjectives. The chaos that ensues when life is turned upside down can be overwhelming, particularly for the person who spends the most time in the home while work is being done. Build escape moments into the plan and make sure everyone else at home is on board. \ During the real grind of the project, a night or two at a hotel may be a welcome respite.

Let us show you how regardless of size, location or budget!! VISIT US AT THE HOME SHOW! 805 Notre Dame Dr. Kamloops, BC 250-851-2992 westcoasthgs.com

LOEWEN NAMED KAMLOOPS BLAZERS’ CAPTAIN; FOUR ALTERNATES INTRODUCED MARTY HASTINGS

he Jermaine Loewen story keeps getting better. From a Jamaican orphanage to Arborg, Man., from being disappointed about receiving skates for Christmas to his first organized hockey experience at age 10, from a project bantam draft pick to a goalless rookie season, from a promising sophomore campaign (his first WHL goal coming after 48 career games) to statistical regression as an 18-year-old and from a breakout season in 2017-2018 to being drafted into the NHL this past summer. Now you can call him the captain of one of the most storied franchises in junior hockey — and those are just the Coles notes. Kamloops Blazers’ head coach Serge Lajoie met with Loewen, 20, Nolan Kneen, 19, Luc Smith, 20, Zane Franklin, 19, and Brodi Stuart, 18, on Tuesday before practise at Sandman Centre to inform them of their inclusion to the leadership group. Loewen will wear the C, Franklin and Kneen are full-time alternates and Smith and Stuart will share an A. “The position I was in a few years ago, I never really pictured that I would be the captain of the Kamloops Blazers, but just through hard work, and I have had a lot of help from people in the organization giving me chances to become who I am, it’s pretty awesome to be where I am right now,” said Loewen, who was the Blazers’ MVP last season after leading the team in points (64) and goals (36). Lajoie emphasized a leadershipby-committee approach and said players don’t need to wear a letter to help lead, but, “those are guys that not only show leadership, but embody and exemplify what Blazer

hockey will look like in the very near future.” Loewen’s tenure as captain begins under unusual circumstance, with him serving a fourgame suspension for a checking to the head major penalty and game misconduct incurred against Portland on Oct. 5. He will not play again until Oct. 26, when Kamloops visits Seattle. The Blazers are also on a fivegame losing streak that has dampered a perfect 2-0 start to the campaign. “It’s a good test for me early on,” Loewen said. “I want to be out there and helping guys, showing my support, but I think I can come in here and bring positivity every day. “We’ve just got to turn things around and we will.” Lajoie said that while he expects no one to drastically change the way they act, there will likely need to be some tinkering for the newly minted leadership group. “The messaging, they might have to step a little bit outside of what they’re comfortable doing naturally,” said Lajoie, the Bonnyville, Alta., product who was named the Blazers’ bench boss in June. “Jermaine, maybe talk a little bit more at the right time. Leadership is also listening. We have some good listeners. We have some good talkers.” File Smith in the vocal leader category, never shy about offering his opinion and able to communicate with flair. “While it looks like we are on a bit of a skid, it doesn’t feel like it in the dressing room,” said Smith, the Stony Plain, Alta., product who had career-highs in points (44), goals (21) and assists (23) last season. “It feels like we are kind of on the uprise. We had some tough results these last couple games, but coming back from that this weekend is going to be huge for us.” See STUART, A32

Walde, Mutschmann proved loyal Broncos MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Derek Walde and Kurtis Mutschmann are heart-and-soul Kamloops Broncos, said team president Dino Bernardo — the type of players programs are built on. Walde, an offensive lineman from Kindersley, Sask., and Mutschmann, a defensive lineman from Kelowna, are the only two graduating Broncos who spent all five seasons of their junior football eligibility in Kamloops. They arrived just in time for the most successful two seasons in program history. The Broncos had their highwater mark campaign in 2014, finishing third in the six-team B.C. Football Conference with a record of 6-4. Kamloops cracked the postseason again in 2015 with a 5-5 record. What makes Walde and Mutschmann heart-and-soul guys (and perhaps gluttons for punishment) is in part their willingness to stick around during lean years, when others bolted. Kamloops has won four games since 2016 and will have to upset the Langley Rams (6-4) on

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Skill-position players usually get more ink than the hogs, but this completion may not have been possible without the block from offensive lineman Derek Walde. The Kindersley, Sask., product was named to the B.C. Football Conference all-star team this week and will play his last junior football game on Saturday.

Saturday to avoid an 0-10 finish in 2018. Game time is 4 p.m. at Hillside Stadium. Walde, who has not missed a game in five years, was named to the BCFC’s 2018 offensive allstar team on Wednesday. He also received the honour in 2015. “I’m pretty grateful,” said Walde, who turns 22 on Oct. 24. “It hasn’t SPONSORED SPONSORED CONTENT CONTENT SPONSORED CONTENT

HOLMES IS WHERE THE The confidence game

I love people-watching. One of my favourite pastimes is grabbing a coffee and a newspaper, finding a patio and observing people and their behaviours. It’s always entertaining to see how people react when a beautiful woman or man walks by. There are double takes and obvious, long stares. I appreciate beauty.I also respect an athletic build and a healthy body as I know the work and discipline that goes into keeping that body in shape. These perfect-looking people may not be the perfect match for you, but it is still fine to acknowledge their looks. Even though someone may be beautiful, they could still be lacking something important that is the most attractive quality in men and women — confidence. Nothing is more attractive than confidence. By confidence, I don’t mean arrogance or cockiness. Imagine sitting on a patio and seeing an averagelooking man walk by. Let’s even say you think this man is less than average looking based on first impression. He has long, scraggly hair and a wrinkled shirt and is a bit too skinny for your liking. You say you would never ever consider a meet-and-greet

and that you are 100 per cent certain you would never be attracted to him. That night, you are attending a music festival with friends as live music is one of your favourite activities. As the band hits the stage, you are gobsmacked to see the lead singer happens to be the very same man you saw earlier that day — and he is wearing the very same clothes. He grabs his guitar and the microphone and you witness him doing his thing in his comfort zone. His confidence shines. You notice many women swooning over him at the front of the stage, where he throws them teasing smiles during his set. You suddenly realize you are, in fact, 100 per cent attracted to this man now. Confidence is attractive. If I sent a photo of this man, I

top 50 Canadian Junior Football League players heading into the 2018 season. Josh Isaak, Hudson Baribeau, Samuel Schlitz and Bryce Couture complete the Broncos’ graduating class of 2018. Neither Walde nor Mutschmann ever beat the Okanagan Sun, but they came close last weekend in an 18-10 defeat in Kelowna. “The other kids on the team were playing for them,” Bernardo said. Expect the kids to be playing for them again on Saturday, when an unlikely fifth win in three years would seem a fitting sendoff for a pair of heart-and-soul guys. “That would be a great way to end it,” Walde said. “That’s for sure.”

don’t think many women would be open to a meet-and-greet. After the music gig, though, I bet every one of those women who were single would have said yes to a date. This is why I get frustrated when people try to convince me they won’t be attracted to someone based on a photo. It’s not just musicians, either. An artist painting a portrait, a comedian telling jokes, a courtroom lawyer delivering a cross-examination, a vet operating on your dog, a nerdy IT employee saving all of your computer files, a chef, a mechanic, an architect, a bartender — the list goes on and on. Confidence can be sexy. I wish we could give people a chance to show their confidence, rather than being so quick to dismiss them. Given how much emphasis people place on photos, it may be worth getting a professional photographer to capture some shots of you in your element. Maybe we can get a single photographer because watching a photographer in action is pretty sexy. Then you may not even need to send the photos to me. If you are a happy, single person, contact me by email at holmes@wheretheheartis.ca. After getting together, you will be a lot more confident. I promise.

Stuart, Kneen have leadership intentions From A29

The Blazers (2-5) will play the Giants (6-1) in Langley on Friday and the Silvertips (3-3) in Everett on Saturday. Smith will wear an A during away games and Stuart will be an alternate for home games in the first half of the season, with the duo expected to switch — Smith at home and Stuart away — for the second half. There were no shocking inclusions to the leadership group, but Stuart was not certain he would be named a captain. “It’s a huge honour to wear a letter for this team and this franchise and to do it with these other leaders, it’s pretty special,” said Stuart, a forward from Langley. “In the next couple years, I’d like to be more of a leader and continue to

grow my skills that way.” Kneen, the Duncan product who is the only defence-

man to earn a letter, also sees his appointment as an opportunity to groom for

more responsibility. “With the leaders in the past, you sort of look up to them,” Kneen said. “Now you’re in that position and you want to set a good example for the young guys. “Having it this year, it’s a learning role. I’ll learn this year and, hopefully, have the C next year.” Franklin is the only player in the leadership group who was not around last season. He came to Kamloops from Lethbridge via trade this past summer and quickly endeared himself to coaching staff and teammates. Lajoie announced the captains list during a team meeting Tuesday. “They all give you a hoot and a holler,” said Franklin, from Marwayne, Alta. “It’s a really good feeling. It’s just about the history of the Blazers. It’s pretty sweet that way.”

as head coach. Canada’s team was chosen from 59 players who attended a September camp in Dawson Creek. Fourteen players who won an Olympic silver medal in Pyeongchang, South Korea, in February will don the Maple Leaf again in Saskatoon. “This will be a good test for our players and program as we enter into a new fouryear cycle leading into the next Olympics,’’ Hockey Canada director of women’s teams Gina Kingsbury said in a statement. Canada has won gold 14 times, including in 2014 in Kamloops, at the annual Four Nations since the first tournament in 1996, but lost in the final to the U.S. the last three years. “We have a committed and determined group of players looking to establish themselves as the top hockey nation among the best nations in the world,’’ Kingsbury said.

Marie Philip-Poulin was among the women named to Team Canada for the Four Nations Cup, which will be held next month in Saskatoon.

“The Four Nations Cup in Saskatoon will be an important measuring stick for us this season and leading into the IIHF women’s world championship next April.’’ Goaltender Shea Tiley of Shallow Lake, Ont., defenders Jaime Bourbonnais of Mississauga, Ont., and Katelyn Gosling of London, Ont., and forwards Sarah Filier of Georgetown, Ont., and Loren Gabel

of Kitchener, Ont., will make their Four Nations debuts.

His assistant coaches in Saskatoon will be four-time Olympian Caroline Ouellette of Montreal, Doug Derraugh of Arnprior, Ont., and Troy Ryan of Spryfield, N.S.

Weed warning for Canadian athletes as legalization nears LORI EWING

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Canada’s anti-doping watchdogs are warning athletes that while cannabis use will become legal for the average Canadian as of next weekend, a toke remains taboo for them. CBD is the short form for “cannabidiol,’’ a cannabis extract. But the Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport (CCES) would rather athletes remember it as “Can Be Dangerous.’’ The message is part of a CCES social media campaign to alert athletes to potential pitfalls around the legalization of marijuana. The drug remains on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned substance list and Paul Melia, the president and CEO of the CCES, said Canadian athletes need to remember that. “No. 1, we wanted to make sure that athletes didn’t confuse (legalization) with whether or not marijuana was banned in competition in sport. It does remain banned,’’ Melia said. The CCES, which conducts doping tests across Canadian sport on behalf of the Canadian Anti-Doping Program, doesn’t screen for cannabis in out-of-competition tests. The

concern, however, is that an athlete might use cannabis in a recreational setting and the drug might still be in the athlete’s system and show up in an in-competition test. Because marijuana is fat-soluble, it can be detected in the body weeks after it’s ingested, and depends on several factors including how it was consumed and how much. And the time it takes to clear the system differs from person to person. “The human biology/physiology and how an individual processes and eliminates marijuana from the system is quite individual, it is quite related to the metabolic rate or size, all kinds of issues, so we can’t even provide a rule of thumb, so [athletes] have to be very careful,’’ Melia said. The CCES has lobbied for the removal of cannabis from WADA’s banned list. Other countries argue vehemently against removal. “There are countries like the U.S. and Japan, to name two, who feel very strongly about marijuana being an illicit drug and a gateway drug to other drugs, and part of the war on drugs in the U.S., and they don’t want to send a message in any way, shape or form that it’s OK to use marijuana,’’ Melia said.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM James (Jim) Fredrick Chamberlin James (Jim) Fredrick Chamberlin passed away in Kamloops, BC on October 4, 2018. Jim was born on April 19, 1946 in Whitewood, Saskatchewan, where he enjoyed his childhood years mainly on the family farm. Jim’s career as a telephone technician began at SaskTel where he (lucky for us three kids) met Marilyn, who was a telephone operator. Jim wisely knew he could not let her get away and proposed to her in an alley behind the downtown SaskTel location and they were married on April 29, 1972. Jim spent his career working all over central and northern Saskatchewan, moving the family to La Ronge for a few years before returning to Prince Albert, where we resided in the “barn” on Grey Owl Crescent. Between Marilyn’s gardening flare and his engineering skills, the house and yard always looked top notch. Another of Jim’s hobbies included motorcycles. He and his Honda Shadow had many adventures, often with friends from SaskTel. After retiring from SaskTel, Jim did some contract work with SaskTel International, working in California and Brazil. Jim was an extremely social fellow and loved to talk with people. We can’t recall the number of times he would strike up a lengthy conversation with someone when we were out. Afterwards, we would ask him who he was talking to, and he would often reply, “not a clue”, but one would have thought they were best friends. When talking with Jim, you never had to worry about an awkward pause in the conversation! Holidays were often spent camping at Candle Lake on Minowukaw Beach. We loved boating to the “secret beach” and nightly camp fires eating bush pies. Another family tradition was heading to the Paddockwood Farm on Sundays. We would stop for penny candy or ice cream on the way, listening to The Mamas & The Papas or CBC Radio. Jim greatly enjoyed working on the farm and the Sunday family dinners. A few years after retirement, Marilyn and Jim moved to Saskatoon, where they built a house in Arbor Creek.

Time was spent outside beautifying the yard and garden and looking after their zoo of cats and dogs. Jim especially loved taking the dogs for walks along the river trail. He was a true animal lover. One of his favourites was a golden retriever named Scully; when he found out that she was simultaneously going blind and dying of stomach cancer, he still paid to fix her eyes because he couldn’t bear the thought of her not being able to see for her last days. After forty years of wonderful marriage, his wife and best friend suddenly passed away in 2012 and in 2015 he sold the house and moved to Kamloops to be closer to family. He moved into a condo in downtown Kamloops and immediately felt at home, thanks to the welcoming residents of Park Place. Jim is survived by his sister Muriel in Regina, his children Scott (Meghan) residing in Laurel, MD, Heather (Jeff) in Kamloops and Sherri (James) in Calgary, as well as his grandchildren Grady, Sam, Dylan and Henry. He was predeceased by his parents Fred and Phyllis Chamberlin and our wonderful mom Marilyn. Jim dealt with heart disease and later congestive heart failure, for most of his adult life. As such, he crossed paths with many exemplary health professionals. We know that he would especially like to thank Dr. Bose and Dr. Pearce in Saskatoon, the VIP team in Kamloops (notably his nurses Dee and Sheila) and his family doctor Dr. Broadbent. Thanks also to the staff at hospice for making his last two weeks exactly what he wanted. At Jim’s request there will be no funeral, but rather a small gathering at Prince Albert’s Memorial Gardens later in 2019, followed by Greek ribs at the Venice House. In memory, donations can be made to the Kamloops BCSPCA or the Kamloops Hospice Association.

Timothy Point Jules (Calf-eye) It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Timothy Point Jules (Calf-eye) on Monday, October 8, 2018. Calf-eye passed away at the age of 64 years.

Calf-eye was predeceased by his mother Maria Jules, his sister Carol Blank (Jules) and grandparents Joseph and Agnes Jules (Duncan). The wake will begin on Thursday, October 11, 2018 at 2:00 pm at Moccasin Square Gardens (MSG) at 315 Chief Alex Thomas Way. The Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, October 13, 208 at 11:00 am at MSG and burial will take place at St. Joseph’s Church Graveyard. After the burial, please join us at MSG for a celebration of life and a dinner. Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com

As the years progressed, Don continued to be active in the outdoors as well as participating in a wide variety of team sports - especially hockey - where he, like his brothers, was a natural. In his early twenties, he enjoyed a long stint in the Royal Canadian Navy, where he trained as a Marine Engineer. In 1978, and back in civilian life, Don spent some time with Holland-America Cruises. Then it was on to several Power Engineering positions, which took him to Vancouver, Tofino, Kamloops then finally up to 100 Mile House where he worked for Ainsworth OSB from 1993 through 2007. Some minor health issues contributed to an early retirement, prompting Don to return to his home in Kamloops. He continued with many of his hobbies and interests, particularly photography, cycling and anything outdoors. Don was predeceased by his father Percy (1997), his mother Elsie (2017) and his older brother Richard (1997). He is survived by his sister Karen, her three children Melanie (daughter Justine), Jennifer and Daniel all of Ontario, plus his brother Howard (daughter Annie) both of Kamloops and Richard’s children Natalie and Layla, plus their children Sadie,

Avery, Hannah and Owen all of Kamloops, as well as numerous cousins in various parts of Canada. Like his siblings, Don was a talented writer, having numerous articles published. He always maintained a keen sense of humour even when faced with adversity. There were few regrets, but two of note would be that he never got to appear as a contestant on Jeopardy and he will not see his special niece, Annie graduate high school. The two of them had a unique bonding that will forever endure. Several months ago, he graciously set her up with a Galaxy S9+ then she quickly showed him how they could text each other from near and far. There was always an abundance of jokes and clever comments between the two of them. Our family unit will continue to thrive, with everlasting love and support from our increasing network of friends. At Donald’s request, there will be no formal service, but a gathering of family and friends will occur at a later date. In lieu of cards or flowers, he also suggested a nice donation to the SPCA or a local charity of your choice. Condolences may be sent via DrakeCremation.com

April 8, 1921 – September 26, 2018 Tom passed away peacefully with his family close by at Ridgeview Lodge in Kamloops, BC on September 26, 2018 at the age of 97 years. He was born in Vancouver on April 8, 1921. Beloved husband to Howie (Haruye) and loving father to Gerald (Judy) of Kelowna, Naomi (Paul Liebregts) of Chilliwack and Ed (Janet) of Edmonton.

Afterwards, he owned Fortune Hardware and later went into partnership with Howie as proprietors of Cecile’s Shoppe (Ladieswear). Together with family, he enjoyed many summers at the cabin he built on Little Shuswap Lake. Throughout the years, he was a long-time Lions Club member. Before retiring Tom and Howie discovered their love of golf becoming members of the Kamloops Golf and Country Club. Over the years, they travelled throughout Canada and the US, Hawaii, Mexico, Caribbean, Europe, Asia and Southeast Asia.

Every Friday in KTW!

Q. Should Murray have a church service? A. It’s a time to honour Murray and to support the family. Sometimes there’s an easy or obvious plan for Murray’s tribute. Sometimes not. It’s better to have the conversation while Murray’s still around. We have resources, no charge. Please call us.

Jacques was born on October 5, 1934 in Nimes, France. He moved his wife and three children to Canada in 1963. He worked 35 years in radio and television for CFJC.

A Celebration of his Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, November 3, 2018 in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive. COLOURFUL CLOTHING PLEASE!! ! !

Louise Fuoco February 15, 1926 – September 17, 2018

Louise Fuoco, dearly loved, was born in Kamloops on February 15, 1926 to Donald Sinclair (Clair) Dalgleish and Leila Guardhouse Knight. Louise’s mother passed away when she was five and she was raised for several years by her grandmother Agnes Dalgleish. As as girl, Louise loved to ride horseback across the hills of Kamloops, dressed in cowgirl breeches. She looked forward to her summers at the family cabin at Lac LeJeune, where she could spend time with her sister Dorothy. Louise married Santino (Santy) Gaetano Fuoco, her high school sweetheart, in Kamloops on July 14, 1947. During her life with Santy, who managed bakeries throughout western Canada, Louise lived in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Victoria, Nanaimo, Winnipeg, Vancouver and Calgary, before moving to Salt Spring Island in 1977, making lifelong friends along the way. The couple celebrated their golden wedding anniversary at their seaside home in Vesuvius Bay, Salt Spring Island and lived there happily for 28 years. Predeceased by her husband in 2005, Louise leaves behind three children, daughter Theresa and sons Russell (Star) and Michael (Karen), four granddaughters Holly (Dean), Kristi (Zeke), Leila (Max) and

Nicole and five great-grandchildren Sophia and Eleanor Broadland and Ethan, Aubree and Ella Shook. Louise was warmly welcomed into the Fuoco family and was especially close to her sister-in-law Tina Vigna. In 1954, Louise and Santy “won” a tiny cabin that they moved onto a waterfront lot at Scotch Creek on Shuswap Lake and the Vigna family bought the property right next door. After selling the cabin in 1960, Santy and Louise returned to the Shuswap in 2003 and built a summer home across the street from the original cabin. Louise loved her time at Shuswap and at age 91 was delighted to take another dip in the lake she loved. Louise was an accomplished artist with many talents - an award-winning quilter, seamstress and knitter, whose greatgranddaughters still wear her creations. She was also an avid (and prize-winning) gardener, trained as a professional florist and brought her artistry to Heritage Place on Salt Spring, where she lived for three years. A longtime member of the Salt Spring Island Golf and Country Club, Louise played in many tournaments and enjoyed the crazy antics of “the golf girls.” She also enjoyed a good game of mahjong. Louise was a fierce protector and friend to elephants and supporter of the Elephant Sanctuary in Hohenwald, Tennessee. She loved animals, especially cats. She was a fan

of Neil Diamond, Rod Stewart, Tony Bennett and military tattoos. Louise adored hearing the bagpipes and was proud of her Scottish heritage.

Celebration of Life for

Mary Bruce and Kitty Adams September 3, 1926 - August 21, 2018

January 31, 1948 - June 24, 2018

In February 2018, Louise moved to Sidney All Care Residence in Sidney, BC. A week before she passed away, Louise, whose famous smile could light up a room, was thrilled to be named champion bowler at All Care’s weekly competition. The family extends their appreciation and thanks to the staff at Heritage Place on Salt Spring Island and Sidney All Care for their excellent, compassionate attention to Louise during the last four years. In lieu of flowers, donations in memory of Louise can be made to The Tennessee Elephant Sanctuary, www.elephants.com or to Lady Minto Hospital Foundation, www.ladymintofoundation.com, 135 Crofton Road, Salt Spring Island, BC V8K 1T1. A Celebration of Louise’s Life will be held with family and friends in the Lower Mainland later in October. Louise will be forever missed.

The family invites friends and family to attend the Celebration of Life for Mary Bruce and her daughter Kitty Adams on Saturday, October 13, 2018 at 2:00 pm at the Free Methodist Church, 975 Windbreak Street, Kamloops.
