Tk’emlups welcomes new band council JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Tk’emlups te Secwepemc has a new chief and council following its election over the Remembrance Day long weekend. Rosanne Casimir, 50, was elected chief on Saturday, succeeding Fred Seymour, who did not seek re-election. “I was truly honoured and humbled,” Casimir told KTW of her win. Casimir bested 34-year-old Joshua Gottfriedson by 40 votes — 268-228 — and credited her experience for tipping the scales in her favour. Casimir previously served for nine years as a Tk’emlups councillor and held portfolios including land, leasing and taxation and housing. Also elected to council were incumbents Jeanette Jules (309 votes) and Katy Elizabeth Gottfriedson (290 votes), along with newcomers Thomas William Blank (301 votes), Colleen MosterdMcLean (301 votes), Justin Cale Gottfriedson (272 votes), Marie Baptiste (228 votes) and Sonny Joseph Leonard (210 votes). Casimir said the new faces will

Goals heading into the next three years include improving communication, re-opening the band’s comprehensive community plan and aligning it with a new strategic plan and development to help the community thrive and create a legacy.

Elder care a focus of Casimir’s term From A1

“We as leaders all want to make the lives of our people better,” Casimir said. “We stand up for our people, our land and our resources. For me, this means an improved quality of life for all our members and for those who do business on our reserve.” Casimir said incorporating new technology will allow the band to improve communication. She said she also heard during the campaign the community’s desire for an elder’s lodge to prevent elders from spending their last days in a home out-

side of the community, instead allowing them to “remain in the heart of the community.” Asked when that could come to fruition, she said the band is looking at a feasibility study. Other projects on the horizon include a water reservoir. Casimir is the third woman to become Tk’emlups chief and she said it played a factor in her being elected. “I know a lot of our membership were looking for change in the style of leadership,” she said. Outgoing chief Seymour announced in September he would not be seeking re-election in order to spend more time

with family. He took the helm in 2015 after serving on council for five terms and did not rule out a future run. Electoral officer Lorreen Suhr said a report on voter turnout will not be available until later this week, though she noted Tk’emlups has 1,060 eligible voters. Casimir said more than 500 people came out to cast ballots, what she called a “very excellent turnout.” A swearing-in ceremony for the new chief and council was held on Tuesday at Moccasin Square Gardens.

The lights and sirens of a fire engine could be seen and heard as the truck pulled into the Kamloops Fire Rescue training centre. From the passenger side stepped the new chief — albeit with a hand from firefighter Kevin Cassidy. With her twin sister Kaelyn and mother Sam in tow, eight-year-old Bryanne Eckhart donned a white chief’s helmet, a beaming smile and a perfectly fitting firefighter jacket ahead of Tuesday’s exercise, which she supervised. The Rayleigh elementary student was chosen as this year’s KFR Fire Chief for a Day, winning the experience through a random draw. “Get that door off!” she ordered as firefighters used the jaws of life to sheer off the driver’s-side door of a vehicle with ease. Firefighters also took off the trunk door and passenger door and popped out the glass of the rearview window, with KFR fire safety educator Lyle Weninger explaining to the sisters they do this to open up

room to extract a patient following a car accident. Bryanne said she liked seeing the car get cut up and learning how firefighter’s pop a car’s windows. “I think it’s really neat and cool,” she said of their work. Her father also stopped by the training centre to see how the day was going. As part of the experience, Bryanne also toured the Kamloops Firehall Museum on Arrowstone Drive before heading back to school with a pizza lunch for her class. Bryanne entered the contest at school as part of Fire Safety Awareness Week and was overjoyed to be selected. “I was really happy because I was

really excited to go to the fire station,” she said. The day began in the morning when Bryanne and her family were picked up from school and given a tour of Station No. 2 in Brocklehurst. Once there, they sipped on some hot chocolate on what was a chilly November morning and checked out the view from a platform truck. “It’s been a great day,” said Bryanne’s mother Sam Eckhart, noting it was her daughter’s first real experience seeing what firefighters do. For Kamloops Fire Rescue, the experience is a great way to educate children about the job and fire safety.

STAFF REPORTER

A Kamloops man is suing the operator of a trapline north of the city after his dog died last year when it was caught in a beaver trap. Burke Nesjan is seeking more than $15,000 in compensation, including more than $10,000 for loss of companionship and mental suffering following the death of his two-year-old akita, Kuma. According to a notice of claim filed in Kamloops provincial court, Nesjan was driving to work along a forest road near Little Fort on Nov. 14, 2017, when he stopped to let Kuma take a bathroom break. Little Fort is about an hour north of Kamloops on Highway 5 North. “After a couple minutes, I noticed that Kuma was not nearby as normal and called him but he did not come back,” Nesjan’s claim reads. “I walked behind my pickup a few metres and noticed Kuma in the ditch making a funny noise.” According to Nesjan’s claim, Kuma’s neck was caught in a trap. “He was still alive and I tried to remove the trap as quick as possible,” the claim states. “I have never seen this type of device before, so it took several minutes to figure it out in a panicked situation. … Kuma died in my arms after a significant amount of suffering.” Nesjan’s claim states the trap was located 12 metres from the edge of Darlington Forest Service Road. “I don’t think that it is reasonable to set a powerful killing trap that requires special tools to open at a well-defined pullout on a well-maintained, high public- and industrial-use mainline forest service road,” the claim states. The defendant, Paul Michel of Summerland, has not filed a response. None of Nesjan’s claims have been proven in court.

Kamloops development company Arpa Investments, which is behind a series of investments on the Tranquille Corridor, has stepped forward to help Children’s Circle Daycare Centre secure a long-term home. “Frankly, it’s not something we were really looking for, but it was a need that was there,” Arpa partner Joshua Knaak said. “To be blunt, we have a hard time saying no. It’s a deal that works for everybody.” The non-profit day care, which cares for about 50 Kamloops kids and has been operating above St. Ann’s Academy downtown for more than two decades, is being displaced as a result of Royal Inland Hospital’s new patient-care tower. The land, which is owned by Interior Health and was previously leased for years to the day care, is slated to become hospital parking. As a result, the day care asked for community support to find a new location, due to limited lease options and an inability to secure a loan from major lenders to purchase land and build a new facility. Knaak said the company is in the process of closing on prop-

erty at 1642/1646 Valleyview Dr., about a half-acre of land located next to McCracken Station Pub in Valleyview. The plan is to buy the land, rezone it from residential and build a centre the non-profit would lease and possibly purchase in the future. Knaak said the deal offers the non-profit flexibility, allowing it time to raise money and apply for grants that could go toward purchasing the building. Children’s Circle had previously told KTW it was stuck in a “chicken and egg” situation without money to purchase land. The land in Valleyview can accommodate a 6,000-square-foot building, parking for parents and staff and 6,500 square feet of outdoor play space. Knaak said the day care will be a “beautiful facility,” with the project slated to begin in the spring. Build timelines, however, are expected to be longer than the centre’s remaining lease — which expires in June — and a temporary location will be secured in the meantime. That location is not yet known, though the day care has said it will keep families updated.

land next to Red Beard Café on the North Shore, where it envisions multiple businesses and a 120-person live music venue. The development company purchased 435 and 443 Tranquille Rd. Plans for 443 Tranquille Rd., which is immediately next to Red Beard, include updating the exterior and four commercial spaces. The ASK Wellness Society already moved its real estate office, previously located on Royal Avenue, into the upper level of the building, while Overlander Press is moving into the basement and Amazing Inspirations antique shop is moving into half of the main floor, to be shared with Moustache and Go (a to-go coffee shop owned by Red Beard.) The little black building, located at 435 Tranquille Rd., will in due course become a live music venue. That won’t get started for at least a year. In the meantime, Arpa will utilize the space to manage the Spirit Square housing project, which has a groundbreaking on Wednesday. Arpa has also announced $50 million in additional projects down the road on Tranquille Road, including plans for a technology and arts centre, a hotel and additional housing.

Imagine child care for no more than $200 per month KAMLOOPS CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTRE PART OF A PROVINCIAL PILOT PROJECT CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Kamloops Child Development Centre has been chosen to take part in a pilot project that will see some families pay no more than $200 per month per child for child care — and the news has left some parents breaking down in tears of gratitude. The North Shore facility is one of 53 across B.C. to take part in the provincial government’s prototype project, which is part of the NDP government’s 10-year ChildCare BC plan. Funding of $60 million comes from the provincial and federal governments, with child-care providers having their operational and administration costs covered in exchange for the maximum $200 per month full-time enrolment fee paid by parents. In all, 2,500 children will be part of the lowcost child care program, including 117 in Kamloops. Helen Blair, director of education at the Kamloops Child Development Centre, said the difference in what parents were paying and are now paying is substantial. Cost of child care at the centre ranges from $1,174 per month for infants (up to 18 months old) to $443 per month for kids ages six to 12. Full-time care covers the hours from 2:30

p.m. to 5:30 p.m. each school day. Child care before school and on non-instructional days is extra, as is summer care. “Imagine having two children,” Blair said of the financial impact of child care, noting the centre has 24 early childhood educators and four office staff. There are also three after-school assistants, students enrolled in early childhood education programs. She said news of the low-cost pilot project has been welcomed by parents, noting the money saved monthly can be literally lifechanging. “It’s been quite an emotional thing,” Blair said. “I’ve had parents who have actually broken down and cried. One lady went to her car and broke down.” Blair said the centre has 117 full-time children, so all will be included in the maximum $200 per month child-care project. There are also some part-time spaces used, while there about 100 children on the centre’s waiting list. She said children at the centre come from all Kamloops neighbourhoods and represent a wide range of socio-economic backgrounds. The provincial government selected the sites after a call for applications in June. While priority was given to sites that had infant and toddler spaces, the province

NEW PATIENTS WELCOME!

has expanded eligibility to include other types of licensed child care. Each site will also receive a one-time grant in 2019 to enhance programs, the amount of each grant to be determined following a government evaluation process. Parents whose

children are not part of the pilot project’s low-cost sites may still be eligible for support through the affordable child care benefit, which gives up to $1,250 per child a month for families with an annual income of $111,000 or less. Families using licensed child care may also

see savings through the child care fee reduction. The pilot project will continue until March 31, 2020. The Kamloops Child Development Centre and 42 other sites are already operating under the pilot project, with 10 more sites set to begin on Dec. 1. “The centre offers

support for families who are new to Canada and cares for many Indigenous children,” Katrina Chen, the province’s minister of state for child care, said of the child development centre on Holway Street. “Staff integrate cultural learning into programming, with

NO ESCAPING THE WRATH TO COME

he political fight over the carbon tax continues to rage on across the country, with the federal government at odds with several provinces that vow to take on Ottawa on behalf of beleaguered taxpayers. While both sides look to position themselves to win the battle of political optics, the war itself continues on and it appears we all will come out on the losing end. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change released a report last month that suggests unless something changes quickly, the world is going to miss its main climate goal in a little over two decades. The report shows the earth is on track to warm up by 1.5 C by 2040. The world’s temperature is currently rising about 0.2 C each decade and the 2015 Paris climate change agreement set a goal to reduce emissions by the end of this century enough to keep the world from warming up more than 1.5 C above pre-industrial levels. Climate change scientists suggest the warming of 1.5 C would bring an average sea level rise of 48 centimetres. With U.S. President Donald Trump pulling the U.S. out of the Paris Accord and Canadian premiers like Doug Ford in Ontario and Scott Moe in Saskatchewan fighting tooth and nail against anything that would disrupt the profits of corporate polluters, it’s clear the most dire consequences of climate change are no longer an if, but a when. While we shouldn’t lose focus on the overall goal to turn back the clock on climate change, we must begin directing more of our efforts towards stemming the tide of the catastrophic effects that our sure to come. Extreme weather events are predicted to occur more frequently and more resources need to be directed to responding to meet that threat. And many regions must look more closely at the new reality that rising sea levels will create. — Victoria News

Dix rights a wrong

his column has been hard on the B.C. NDP government’s favours to big labour in recent weeks. Its union monopoly on public construction is a discriminatory sellout that will be costing taxpayers for years to come, and the likely elimination of secret ballot votes is another bid to protect unions that are dwindling away in today’s global economy. But this week I’ll offer my appreciation to Health Minister Adrian Dix, who has won a battle he has been fighting for more than a decade, restoring union successor rights for employees of senior care homes and related jobs. This is to end “contract flipping,” in which one contractor takes over from another and gets out from under the union agreement, usually with the Hospital Employees’ Union or the B.C. Government Employees’ Union. Here’s how BCGEU president Stephanie Smith explained the problem that has plagued one of the lowest-wage, female-dominated employment groups in the province since 2002: “The practise of contract flipping typically involves mass layoffs and forces workers to re-apply for jobs that they have, in many cases, already been performing for years. “When this occurs, existing collective agreements and union representation are not carried over and contracts offered by the new service provider typically offer lower wages, reduced

VICTORIA benefits and weakened rights for employees. In short, contract flipping is a strategy for suppressing wages and weakening employee rights in the workplace.” Dix introduced legislation last week to repeal two provisions that survived the B.C. Liberal government’s long court battle with the HEU, making employees “second-class citizens” as contract flipping continued into this year. “There are care homes such as Inglewood on the North Shore and Nanaimo Seniors Village that have seen their contracts flipped multiple times,” Dix said. “In other words, work is contracted out, the workers come together, they organize a union, they negotiate with the employer, in this case the contractor. Then the contractor is changed, salaries are reduced and they have to go through the process again and again and again.” I recall the bitter debate when this move was made by a

newly elected Gordon Campbell government with an overwhelming mandate, the NDP reduced to two east Vancouver seats. No one at that time anticipated the repeated use of contract flipping in senior care homes, just as no one anticipated the sale of Retirement Concepts, a Vancouver-based chain of contract care homes, to a statelinked Chinese company that’s acquiring prime real estate around the world. What the Campbell government should have seen coming was that the crackdown on a ballooning health-care budget came at the worst possible time for senior care. Baby boomers are stepping down, and breaking down, in huge numbers and there aren’t enough people who will take care of them under the working conditions they face. Seniors Advocate Isobel Mackenzie put numbers to it in B.C.’s first comprehensive survey of seniors homes last year. It showed that most don’t meet the province’s standard of just over three hours care per resident, per day. Help in the bathroom is one of the biggest shortages and Dix estimates another 900 care aides are needed to reach the standard. Not enough people are willing to do this job and long-term workers are retiring.

OPINION

[speak up] You can comment on any story you read at kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR TCC NEEDS SOME PRO-REP AD IS MISLEADING SERIOUS TLC WITH SERVICE TO PUBLIC Editor: In January, the city announced it was lowering fees to the Tournament Capital Centre to be competitive in the fitness market. In March, it was reported in KTW that yearly memberships for 2017 versus previous years had dropped by 64 per cent, monthly memberships dipped by 14 per cent and cost recovery dropped to 71 per cent. I suggest the problem with the TCC is not only one of price, but of service. Other fitness facilities in Kamloops are open on statutory holidays, but the TCC is not. Private facilities have predictable hours of operation, but the TCC does not. At one time, the city issued a monthly schedule for the TCC. This schedule was invariably incorrect. The answer to this problem was not to improve scheduling practices, but to issue weekly schedules, which are often incorrect. In an effort to obtain the latest updates on scheduling, I was instructed by staff to consult TCC’s Facebook page. It, too, is less than trustworthy. According to the city’s 2015 financial information, the director of parks, recreation and culture was paid $206,000 annually and the recreation, social development and culture manager earned $132,000. One would assume they possess the professional acumen to understand customers won’t use a facility if it takes this much effort to determine when it is open. They should also understand this situation is extremely unfair to the employees who work at reception, who must deal with customer frustration, when unscheduled facility closures occur. Without intervention, I fear this fabulous facility will be further rejected by the community. Marion Bacon Kamloops

Editor: The Fair Vote ad in the Nov. 9 edition of KTW is misleading. The ad is endorsed by a half-dozen local leaders, some on city council. They list five reasons why they support proportional representation: 1) “Local MLAs elected by voters — no party appointees.” This one is the most blatantly misleading. Yes, there will be local MLAs, but the current ridings we now have will be combined with as many as four others into mega-ridings, to reduce the number of elected officials to make room for the appointed MLAs, which make up the proportional part of all this. Elected MLAs would be responsible for far larger ridings than now exist and a large number of unelected MLAs would only be responsible to their party’s philosophies. 2) “40% of the votes = 40% of the seats. That’s fair!” Yes, PR makes for more MLAs representing more par-

ties, but they do not make up government. It takes 51 per cent of the seats to have a majority in the house to form government now — and that fact will not change under PR. There will still be a large number of MLAs, up to 49 per cent, sitting on the outside looking in, not having any say in the operation of government. As long as we maintain a partybased system, there will never be true proportional representation. 3) “Co-operation between parties makes for better decisions.” This is a simple value statement that is as applicable under our current system as it is under PR. Might as well just state “I like sunny days better than rainy days.” 4) “Better economic, social and environmental outcomes.” Is the implication here that PR promises this? Totally unmeasurable. 5) “Higher voter turnout and

voter satisfaction.” Again, a broad statement that voices a hope, not a fact. I’d argue that once I learned the party that I voted for would be hobbled by deals made to manufactured coalition governments, I’d probably shut down in the long run as a voter because my goals wouldn’t be represented. I’m all for a clear and open discussion on the pro-rep issue, but I think there is too much extreme rhetoric on both sides. Just as I don’t believe prorep will give rise to the next Hitler in B.C., I also don’t believe it will create a utopian society where MLAs hold hands and make decisions based on the common good. As long as there are parties involved, there will be partisan politicians — period. To claim otherwise is simply a lie. Henry Pejril Kamloops

ANTI-PRO-REP AD IS MISLEADING Editor: A good example of false advertising can be found right here in KTW. Over the past weeks, ads have appeared stating “Time to Say Farewell to Your Local MLA.” I have carefully read the non-partisan information from Elections BC. It is not true that there will be no local MLAs. The three proportional representation choices guarantee at least one local MLA and,

usually, multiple MLAs who will represent each electoral district or region. It is also not true that Vancouver MLAs will set the agenda for all of B.C. That is an unsupported blanket statement. I am excited to have an opportunity to change our electoral system so I may elect and be represented by more than one MLA. Maybe I’ll even be represented by an MLA I have voted for — now there’s a novel thought. Anne Neave, Kamloops

Harassment policy plans in place by April MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

School District 73 is moving ahead with its implementation of seven recommendations made by a superintendent’s task force, which was formed after complaints of sexual harassment among students came to light last year. An advisory committee is being struck to collect feedback and help shape the school district’s planned responses to those recommendations, which are expected to

be completed by next April. Known as the Superintendent’s Joint Advisory Committee on School Safety, the group will include one representative from eight groups and will be chaired by Michelle Marginet — a former health and safety manager for the school district who also chaired the task force this past spring. A policy addressing how to respond to sexual misconduct complaints has been developed and will be vetted by the committee on Nov. 23, prior to

coming forward to the board for adoption. Also to be reviewed by the committee is the working definition on what constitutes sexual misconduct, which was developed earlier this year as a first step in the response process. One of the seven recommendations has SD73 revisiting its policies that contemplate violence, harassment, bullying, intimidation and other forms of discrimination to include the definition of sexual misconduct. Also on Nov. 23, a draft of response protocols for sexual harass-

ment will be presented to the committee for its feedback. SD73 anticipates implementation of those protocols will begin in January. District staff working on the recommendation to provide ongoing educational opportunities is meeting on Nov. 22 to evaluate and enhance the current learning opportunities for students. Led by SD73 director of instruction Trish Smillie, its work will be presented to the advisory committee to review next spring. An online reporting

tool for sexual harassment has also been earmarked for the school district’s website. Rounding out SD73’s implementation of the report, parents are being encouraged to provide feedback to the advisory committee on the district’s response to the task force’s recommendations. This will be followed by the development of a communication plan to educate parents on about the issues related to sexual misconduct.

Union of Public Employees, Kamloops Thompson Principals’/ Vice Principals’ Association, Aboriginal Education Council, Kamloops-Thompson school board, District Parent Advisory Council and Student Advisory Council will all select one member to sit on the advisory committee as their representative. The superintendent’s task force consisted of district staff and community members and submitted a 12-page report in June, with seven recommendations, all of which were adopted by the board of education. The recommendations in the superintendent task force’s report include: • Promote and/or create reporting tools to ensure those who may be impacted have the means to seek out the supports they require; • Inform parent(s) of the policies, procedures and processes that will be used when responding to an issue of sexual misconduct,

including the process a parent can follow to provide feedback, issue a complaint or request an appeal; • Provide ongoing learning opportunities, starting at the elementary-school level, to educate students about healthy relationships, as well as measures they can take to report incidents or seek support; • Define what constitutes sexual misconduct in schools; • Develop policies and procedures that specifically address sexual misconduct; • Revisit district policies that contemplate violence, harassment, bullying, intimidation and other forms of discrimination to include the definition of sexual misconduct in both intent and implementation; • Review response protocols to ensure that all district staff working with children know how to receive complaints in a way that respects the rights and needs of those known to be impacted.

More affordable housing for seniors and families TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops is in line for nearly 200 new affordable-housing units, part of a $1.9-billion plan to build 14,000 such homes across B.C. over 10 years, according to an announcement Tuesday from the provincial government. The Tournament Capital is slated to receive funding for 199 housing units in three projects — $4 million to ASK Wellness for 40 seniors’ residences, $11.2 million to the Centre for Seniors Information for 112 homes for seniors and families and $4.7 million to Interior Community Services for 40 homes for seniors and families. The 112 homes in connection with the Centre for Seniors Information (CSI) will rise at the corner of Victoria Street and Sixth Avenue, on the former Cineplex Odeon property, as reported previously by KTW.

“The downtown eyesore will be gone,” CSI executive director Brenda Prevost said. “It’s a very exciting day.” According to Prevost, the sixstorey development will include underground parking and commercial space, as well as CSI offices, on the first floor. Each of the building’s 112 housing units, varying from studio to two-bedroom, will be rentals. “It’s our first housing project and we’re so thrilled to get a project of this size,” Prevost said. “We know the need is there. We’re keenly aware of the issue.” Prevost said she expects the development to welcome its first tenants within two years. “We’re just really excited,” she said. “It’s going to be lots of work, but we’re excited about the future and having a building in 2020 that we can open the doors and have something there in the downtown area that is so close to all the ser-

vices that seniors use.” Interior Community Services CEO Kelly Kelland said her organization’s development, which will also include first-floor commercial space, will rise on vacant land in the 400-block of Tranquille Road near Aspen Street. “We’re really excited to continue to revitalize the Shore,” she said. “It’s a good thing.” Kelland said ICS had been working on its application since April. “The $4.7 million is the liftoff for us to get going on this project,” she said. “We’re just excited to get this off the ground.” Kelland was reluctant to put a timeline on the development, but said her team is excited to work on it. “We’ll make it happen as soon as we can,” she said. “We know there’s a need out there.” Tuesday’s announcement included 4,900 housing units across B.C., all scheduled to be

built within two to three years. “These new homes will have life-changing impacts for people and communities right across the province,” said housing minister Selina Robinson. Elsewhere in the area, ASK Wellness received $4 million for 40 seniors’ residences in Merritt, the Shuswap-Revelstoke branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association received $3 million for 71 homes for families and seniors in Salmon Arm and the Evergreen Acres Seniors Housing Society received $2 million for 20 homes for seniors in Clearwater. In Vernon, $7.8 million was doled out to agencies for 78 homes in three projects and two Kelowna agencies received a total of $7.3 million to fund the construction of 73 housing units. The Eagle Valley Senior Housing Society received $3.6 million to fund the construction of 36 residences for people with disabilities, families and seniors in Sicamous.

The province’s Seniors Advocate, Isobel Mackenzie, has sent a letter to all publicly funded residential care homes, asking them to ensure residents are aware of the process to obtain a ballot for the provincial referendum on electoral reform. “There will be somewhere in the neighbourhood of 10,000 seniors who have moved into their care home since May 2017, when the current voters list was established,” Mackenzie said, reminding seniors in those facilities that they may not receive a ballot if they fall into that category.

LOCAL NEWS SIGN OF NEVER FORGETTING

The Veteran Street Sign Project, a plan to affix poppy images on Kamloops street signs bearing the names of those who fought for Canada in wars, has its first sign completed — on Vicars Road in Valleyview. Vicars Road is named after Desmond Vicars, who fought in, and survived, the Battle of Vimy Ridge in the First World War. The endeavour is the brainchild of Jeff Lodge, a member of the city’s heritage committee who raised more than $8,000 to have the project started earlier than planned. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

Provincial health care payroll tax approved TOM FLETCHER STAFF REPORTER tfletcher@black press.ca

The B.C. government’s employer health tax has been steered through the legislature with little notice, and employers with payrolls of $500,000 and larger are bracing for its impact. Municipalities are preparing property tax increases to cover the payroll tax and Medical Services Plan premiums they will continue to pay at

half rate next year. Finance Minister Carole James decided they would not get the exemption given to school districts, post-secondary schools, health authorities and non-profit employers, which will share $90 million a year to cover the tax. The tax takes effect on Jan. 1, 2019, at 2.9 per cent on payroll between $500,000 and $1.5 million and 1.95 per cent on payroll amounts above $1.5 million. James said the 1.95 per cent

rate is tied with Ontario for the lowest payroll health tax across other provinces, and emphasized that MSP premiums are reduced by half on the same date. Business leaders and opposition critics focused on the double taxation for 2019, and the extension of payroll tax to seasonal farm workers and others whose employers don’t pay MSP premiums. B.C. Liberal MLA Rich Coleman told the legislature that

municipalities in his riding of Langley East are looking at property tax increases between 2.5 and three per cent to cover the double cost next year. That means “probably about 90 per cent” of business leases will go up. One local farm that has operated for 40 years is facing a $100,000 increase in payroll costs for 2019, he said. B.C. Green MLA Adam Olsen warned of the impact on large private employers in his Saanich

North and the Islands constituency. An electrical contractor with 280 employees and a payroll of $20 million a year is looking at nearly a 10-fold increase in costs from 2017 to 2019, Olsen said. James presented the payroll tax legislation at the same time as her government’s speculation tax on empty homes, which got most of the attention as she announced rate reductions demanded by B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver.

E. coli outbreak prompts recall The BC Centre for Disease Control is urging British Columbians to discard or return to the place of purchase any Little Qualicum Cheeseworks’ Qualicum Spice cheese they have at home. Products in the marketplace have a best-before date up to and including April 24, 2019. Five people in B.C. have been affected by an E. coli outbreak between August and October. Qualicum Spice cheese samples were tested and found to be contaminated with E. coli. The investigation is ongoing to determine the source and extent of contamination. Qualicum Spice is an unpas-

teurized cheese. It is distributed throughout B.C. and sold in grocery stores, farmers’ markets, wineries, restaurants and at the Little Qualicum Cheeseworks farmgate store. Little Qualicum Cheeseworks has voluntarily recalled the affected product. The company produces several other types of dairy products, but not other products are being recalled at this time and consumers do not need to discard them. People who become ill from E. coli can have a wide range of symptoms. Some may have no symptoms and some may become seriously ill and be hospitalized.

The following symptoms can appear within one to 10 days after infection: severe stomach cramps, diarrhea or bloody diarrhea, vomiting, headache and low fever. If you have eaten this product, but have no symptoms, there is no need to do anything. If you become ill after consuming this cheese, the centre advises practising good handwashing with warm water and soap to prevent the spread of illness and drinking plenty of clear fluids to stay hydrated.

TIMERAISER 2018 TODD SULLIVAN STAFF REPORTER todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

BACK EDGE/ROSS OUTERBRIDGE PICTURE DAY/SUSAN MCCOWAN

here are plenty of reasons to attend the Kamloops This Week Timeraiser event this Friday. You can enjoy some tasty appetizers from Black Tie Dining and a cocktail from the cash bar. You can listen to the music of live entertainer Kelly Spencer, check out a collection of art from local artists and even bid on the pieces that grab your eye. But maybe the best reason to attend is to learn about non-profit groups in Kamloops that are looking for new volunteers. “For the agencies, it’s an information-sharing session and just learning about all the great work that goes on our community,” said September Kuromi, who is organizing her seventh Timeraiser. The event’s goal is to connect people who want to volunteer their time with organizations looking for volunteers. In the middle of that connection is the artwork from local artists. If you find a piece you like, you can bid on it, but instead of cash, you are using volunteer hours. “We buy all the artwork outright at market value, none of the artwork is donated, so the artists are really happy about that,” Kuromi said. “And at the Timeraiser on Nov. 16, we have the artwork set up in a silent auction-type format and you can bid on the artwork.” For example, if 80 hours is your winning bid, you have a year to complete 80 hours of volunteering with one or more agencies before you can take the artwork home. Kuromi said much of the work comes from the Kamloops Arts Council’s Art Exposed show and she always tries to grab at least one piece from a new artist. “I love the Kamloops Arts Council,” she said.

“I think they’re amazing.” Kuromi, who does plenty of volunteering, heard about the national program seven years ago and thought it would be perfect for Kamloops. Since its inception locally, people have completed more than 7,000 volunteer hours for various non-profit groups in exchange for artwork. KTW came aboard this year as title sponsor. Some of the agencies taking part in this year’s Timeraiser are Four Paws, Literacy in Kamloops, Operation Red Nose, People in Motion, Kamloops Society for the Written Arts, BC Interior Community Foundation, Habitat for Humanity, Barnhartvale Horse and Hiker Association, Heart & Stroke Foundation, Junior Achievement, Brennan’s Ugly Sweater Run and Kamloops Therapeutic Riding Association. Even if you’re not planning on bidding, Kuromi said it is worth attending Timeraiser just to get a better idea of the kind of work ongoing in Kamloops. “A lot of people have come in the past with no intention of bidding,” she said. “And then they’re just really inspired by learning about what’s out there. “There’s a lot of cool programs out there that you don’t know about. Unless you’re familiar with the agency, you have no idea what they do. It’s really neat to be able to learn some of what goes on in these different agencies.” Quite often, that learning will lead to taking action. “There’s people who never volunteered and they end up winning a painting,” Kuromi said. “And they go out and do something and they have a really great time.” The Kamloops This Week Timeraiser will be held on Friday, Nov. 16, at The Rex, downtown at Seymour Street and Fourth Avenue. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the auction begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $20 and can be purchased online at eventbrite.ca or at the door of The Rex.

Royal BC Museum funding for TIB The Royal BC Museum has awarded the Stk’emlupsemc te Secwepemc Nation $30,000 as part of more than a half-million dollars in funding for more than 20 Indigenous communities, cultural societies, associations and museums in the province to support repatriation. The provincial grant program is the first of its kind in Canada, addressing calls to action of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. “Our government is committed to reconciliation with First Nations and repatriation is an essential part

of that commitment,” B.C.’s Minister of Culture Lisa Beare said in a press release. “This funding is an important part of the work being done to advance cultural reconciliation with Indigenous people in communities throughout our province.” In 2016, the province developed a First Nations department and repatriation program via the Royal BC Museum. Stk’emlupsemc First Nation will be using its funding for a variety of planning and implementation activities.

Recycling workshops In response to the recent changes in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s recycling program, TNRD staff will be hosting workshops throughout the regional district at various library branches. The recent recycling changes were a requirement under the provincewide program called Recycle BC, which the TNRD joined in September. Before joining Recycle BC, the TNRD

was struggling to find end markets for the mixed recycling collected at depots due to ongoing contamination and changes in the global recycling market. There are 11 workshops planned over the next five weeks throughout the TNRL system, including in Chase this Thursday from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., in Logan Lake on Thursday, Nov, 29, from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., and in Savona on Saturday, Dec. 8, from 11 a.m. to noon.

Young business minds sought Calling all students from Grade 5 to the college/trades school level. If you have a dynamite business plan, Junior Dragons’ Den might be for you. Junior Dragons’ Den is modelled after the popular TV show in which entrepreneurs pitch their ideas to a group of venture capitalists. Students are required to submit a business concept paper for their business idea or business improvement idea (in the case of an existing business). The concept paper speaks to the

who, what, where, when, how, why and start-up costs associated with the business concept, finishing off with why the applicant should be chosen to compete in Junior Dragons’ Den. Students can enter the competition until Feb. 8. A selection committee will review and shortlist the top 15 candidates for the live pitch competition. Candidates will be matched with a local mentor to further develop their pitch and concept paper.

KAMLOOPS NEAR THE TOP OF HOME AFFORDABILITY STUDY KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

Kamloops is one of only four markets in the province where homes for sale align with local earnings, according to a study of 20 B.C. markets by real-estate search and data website Zoocasa. The findings are based on a summary of October benchmark and average home prices as reported by local real estate boards, the income required to afford the homes and regional median incomes as reported by Statistics Canada. Along with Kamloops, Prince George, Campbell River and Langford are the only other markets in the study without gaps between required and actual income in owning a home. The benchmark home price in Kamloops in October was $406,512, with an income of $55,500 needed to buy a house at that price, and the median household income in the city pegged by Statistics Canada at $74,000.

(The income required to afford the benchmark or average home was calculated using the Ratehub mortgage affordability calculator, assuming a 20 per cent down payment, a mortgage rate of 3.33 per cent and a 30-year amortization. The calculation does not include carrying costs such as heating and property taxes.) At the other end of the affordability spectrum, not surprisingly, are communities in the Lower Mainland, beginning with Vancouver. The benchmark home price in Vancouver in October was $1.2 million, with an income of $163,000 needed to afford a home at that value. With the actual median income in Vancouver at $65,000, that’s a $98,000 gap. Penelope Graham of Zoocasa said steep housing prices are starting to be reflected in the province’s sales activity. According to the latest numbers from the British Columbia Real Estate Association, sales have plummeted 33.2 per cent from 2017, with

the average price budging 1.1 per cent, to $686,000. The total dollar value from sales also fell 34 per cent — representing $2 billion — to $3.8 billion, a contrast to the 30.2 per cent increase recorded last year. Graham said much of the slowdown has been attributed to the federal mortgage stress test implemented in January, which requires mortgage borrowers to qualify at a rate roughly two per cent higher than their actual contract. “That’s effectively slashed purchasing power among buyers, reducing the type and size of home they would now qualify for,” Graham said. She said the gap between required and actual income becomes even more acute when the stress test qualification rate (currently 5.34 per cent) is factored into the calculation. Doing so pushes buyers’ income gap in Vancouver into the six-figure range, at $135,169, and reduces the number of truly affordable markets to two: Kamloops and Prince George.

Forecast: decline followed by rise

With residential sales in B.C. expected to be down 23 per cent from 2017 by the end of the year, the B.C. Real Estate Association expects sales to increase in 2019. In its fourth-quarter housing forecast, released on Nov. 8, the BCREA said it expects 80,000 units to be sold by Dec. 31, which would be a 23 per cent decline from the 103,768 residential sales recorded last year. The association is predicting residential sales to increase 12 per cent to 89,500 units in 2019. The 10-year average for residential sales in the province is 84,800 units. “The marked erosion

of affordability and purchasing power caused by the mortgage stress test and rising interest rates continue to be a drag on the housing demand,” said Cameron Muir, BCREA’s chief economist. “However, continuing strong performance in the economy, combined with favourable demographics, is expected to push home sales above their 10-year average in 2019.” Despite the mortgage policy drag on the sector, Muir said strong performance of the B.C. economy continues to be supportive of housing demand. He noted five consecutive years of above trend

growth in the province has led to a high level of employment and an unemployment rate that appears to be at a cyclical low. “The combination of fewer home sales and a larger inventory of homes for sale has helped trend most markets to balanced conditions,” Muir said. “As a result, home price growth has slowed considerably and is expected to more closely reflect overall consumer price inflation through 2019. In addition, a record number of homes are under construction in B.C., which will provide for much-needed expansion of the housing stock and greater price stability.”

The real work after you start the business CINDY PIVA OF THRIVE BUSINESS STRATEGIES WILL PRESENT AT NOV. 22 EVENT IN KAMLOOPS TODD SULLLIVAN

STAFF REPORTER

todd@kamloopsthisweek.com

LinkUp is Venture Kamloops’ annual business summit featuring speakers, panels, a networking trade show and more. It’s an event geared for business owners and employers and will be held on Thursday, Nov. 22, at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Center. Kamloops This Week will be profiling many of the event’s speakers in advance of the forum. Starting a business can be one of the most challenging experiences in a person’s life, but it’s only the first step of many for prospective entrepreneurs. Once your business is off the ground, it’s time to focus on the real work — growth. That’s where Cindy Piva, owner and founder of Thrive Business

Cindy Piva (third from left) with her Rotary Club of Kamloops West peers mark the 2016 completion of picnic tables for the Marjorie Willoughby Memorial Hospice House. KTW FILE PHOTO

Strategies, can lend a helping hand. “I have always been in business,” she said. “I love business. I have a business degree from UBC.” Piva, a business coach, has been certified by the Professional

Business Coaches Alliance, which, she said, upholds some of the highest standards for business coaching. Piva works with business owners who are looking to step up their game and focus on growth.

“They can reach the goals that they set out faster than they would otherwise,” Piva said. This is the kind of knowledge she will be sharing on stage during Venture Kamloops’ annual LinkUp business summit— and you can

be there to take in her advice first-hand. “Just like any growth stage for people, businesses tend to go through some growing pains, so this is ideal for a growth stage of a business, so they can set themselves up for suc-

cess going forward,” Piva said. Though there are a number of ways a business can open itself up to growth, Piva pointed to one aspect in particular that she will be discussing at the summit, which is learning to delegate and scale their business up. “Instead of being bottlenecked, it can grow and prosper,” she said. Piva is excited to be a

part of LinkUp this year. “It’s going to be a fun event, a great event,” she said. “I think there’s something there for every business owner. “I encourage everyone to come out to it because it’s always really informative.” LinkUp allows local business owners and employers to access information and resources that might not normally be able to them and provides them during a jam-packed single day event. You can learn more about LinkUp online at http:// venturekamloops.com/ link-up.

Stocks Down, Bonds Down - Where to turn? Generally, the investment world can be split into two mainstream terms: 1) Stocks 2) Bonds Investors typically split their money between these two based on their goals, knowledge, and comfort. Some of our clients are 100% in bonds (or guaranteed equivalents) while others are 100% in stocks; however, most investors fall somewhere in the middle which we commonly refer to as a Balanced Investor. Over the last 12 months, the Bank of Canada (BoC) has raised interest rates five times. There are several types of bonds. The least risky and often used as a benchmark are AAA rated Government of Canadas. According to Thompson Reuters, their values at the time of writing were: 1 year 2.10% 5 year 2.38% 10 year 2.45% Two quick observations: despite rates rising…Bond rates are still incredibly low making it a challenge to create a sustainable retirement income. Second, when rates go up, the price of a bond falls. In a simplistic illustration, if the 10year Government bond was 2% and rises to 3% that results in an extra 1% interest each of the 10 years. Theoretically, existing bonds issued at 2% would drop roughly 10% in price to make up for this shortfall. I have always been a fan of James Bond movies and over

the years there have been many actors that have played the role of 007. As an investor, there are a few substitutes for Bonds as well. Among our favourites are preferred shares and mortgages. Preferred Shares (prefs) are similar to bonds because they are guaranteed by the company and pay a fixed rate of return; however, they pay dividends in lieu of interest making them incredibly tax efficient – as per table:

TAXABLE INCOME: 11,635 39,677 46,606 79,354 91,108 93,209 110,631

-6.8% -3.2% 4.4% 8.3% 10.7% 18.3% 21.6%

Source: Natixis Global Asset Management (2017/01/04)

In addition, preferred shares typically pay a higher rate of return. Currently, many investment grade prefs pay close to 5%. For example: Enbridge 5-year Bond (06/30/23) pays 3.57% Enbridge 5-year Pref (ENB.i) pays 5.1% Bank of Nova Scotia 5-year Bond (04/17/23) pays 3.15% Bank of Nova Scotia Pref (BNS.i) 4.85%

Not only do investors get 40%-50% more yield with preferred shares, they also get a major tax break. For example, a retiree earning $45,000 a year before tax in dividends will actually get money back from the dividends. This is due to the Canadian dividend tax credit. Looked at another way, an investor would have to earn about 1.3x more from a bond to end up with the same after tax result. In the above example, a 5% preferred would be equivalent to a 6.5% bond. It is worth noting that preferred shares tend to carry slightly more risk because bonds rank ahead of them in the event of a default. In addition, prefs trade on the stock exchange which is subject to investor emotion and liquidity events. When we think of mortgages, we often think of buying a home with the help of a mortgage that takes most of our working years to payback. As an investor, we can flip this around so we are the ones being paid (ie: mortgage holder). Essentially, investors pool their monies together and hire a manager to invest into several mortgages. There are several types of mortgages: residential, commercial, development, etc. All carrying different levels of risk and return. Currently, yields to investors range between 4-7% depending on the risk and terms accepted. If an investor decided to use prefs and mortgages, they should be placed in the most appropriate account. Prefs are best located in non-registered and corporate accounts to take advantage of the Canadian tax credit. Whereas mortgages are best located in tax sheltered plans like RSP, RIF, RESPs & TFSAs. As always, please consult a professional before making any investments. Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well.

Casino strike ends after four months KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The four-month strike at four B.C. Interior casinos — including Cascades Casino in Kamloops — is officially over. On Friday, Gateway Casinos & Entertainment reached a new collective agreement with the B.C. Government and Service Employees’ Union, which represents more than 600 employees at Cascades Casinos in Kamloops and Penticton, Playtime Casino in Kelowna and Lake City Casino in Vernon. BCGEU president Stephanie Smith said the four-year deal includes an average 23.5 per cent wage increase over the life of the agreement and improved benefits — particularly for part-time workers. “Our members are going back to work, which is great news,” Smith said. “But the ratification vote was close, which means there is more

work to be done in all four of these workplaces. “That work starts as soon as the picket lines come down.” Of the 702 unionized workers eligible to vote, 511 took part, with ratification passing by a slim 259-252 count. Gateway said the new collective agreement also includes an agreed-to compensation package over the term of the agreement. “We are pleased with the outcome of the vote and thank the bargaining committees that worked tirelessly to design an agreement that would fairly reward our employees, while remaining reasonable for the businesses we operate in these communities,” said Gateway spokeswoman Tanya Gabara. Employees went on strike on June 29, with banners outside the Kamloops casino in Aberdeen calling for a “living wage.” Casino workers headed back to work over the weekend.

PARIS — Politicians working to harness the power of social media to connect with voters need to figure out how to do so positively in the face of leaders using those platforms to undermine democracy, according to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Without mentioning anyone by name at an event in Paris on Monday, Trudeau suggested there are politicians who are trying to use platforms like Twitter to foster polarization and controversy in the electorate. The medium is not without its benefits, Trudeau said, pointing to the ease of putting out a tweet of condolence or support being easier, more direct and resonating more with citizens than issuing a press statement. That same ease and directness Trudeau said can be used to build confidence in government and democratic institutions can just as

easily be used by politicians trying to “make you angry or make you divided or make you hate your neighbour’’ — pitting one kind of social-media politician against the other. “If it ends up in a screaming match between one side versus the other side, whoever is better at nasty is going to win,’’ Trudeau said at a Paris conference on the use of technology by governments. “If we actually think about it, it’s easier to push someone into being angry. It’s harder to pull them into being positive and earnest and involved.’’ The discussion was driven by U.S. President Donald Trump, who regularly uses Twitter to fire up his legions of followers and vent at his critics. Trudeau has been a target of Trump’s irate tweeting, particularly after the G7 meeting in Charlevoix, Que., over the prime minister’s comments on trade negotiations. When asked to comment about Trump’s Twitter usage, Trudeau

suggested Trump is just being Trump. “I think it’s important that people are authentic and he’s certainly authentic,’’ Trudeau said. The comments came one day after Trudeau and other world leaders issued dire warnings about leaders calling themselves nationalists and the problems they pose for maintaining peace and the world order built in the aftermath of the world wars. Again, no names were mentioned, but the warnings seemed clearly aimed at Trump, who has repeatedly professed his American nationalism. “One of the things that Canadians expect of me is to continue to stand up for Canadian values, for Canadian interests as I always do loudly and clearly sharing our perspectives on how to build a better world, while at the same time keeping a constructive relationship with our closest neighbour and largest trading partner,” Trudeau said.

Canada stands pat on Saudi arms sales, even after hearing tapes of Khashoggi slaying Journalist was killed during incident inside Saudi embassy in Turkey last month ANDY BLATCHFORD

CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The Canadian government is showing no signs of toughening its stance on arms sales to Saudi Arabia, even after Canada’s spy chief heard a recording of the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi. When asked Tuesday how Canada intends to proceed from here, Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland reiterated Ottawa’s position that no new weapons-export permits will be signed for Saudi Arabia for now. “We are reviewing our arms sales to Saudi Arabia in view of this killing and, obviously, during this period of review no new arms export permits will be signed,’’ Freeland said in Windsor, Ont. That’s no different from what Canada’s been saying for weeks. CSIS director David Vigneault recently travelled to Turkey to listen to the recording Turkish authorities have of Khashoggi’s killing and briefed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau as well as other top officials upon his return. “Canada is very clear that those who are responsible for this atrocious murder must bear full responsibility for that,’’ Freeland said when asked how hearing the recording affects the government’s position. Khashoggi’s death last month at Saudi Arabia’s consulate in Istanbul has further strained Riyadh’s already difficult relationship with Canada. His killing — which brought international condemnation of

Riyadh — also renewed public outrage in Canada over Ottawa’s controversial $15-billion deal to sell light armoured vehicles to the kingdom. Ottawa has come under pressure to cancel the armouredvehicles contract, but Trudeau has said the penalty for doing so would be “in the billions of dollars.’’ Freeland said she spoke with Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu on Monday to press for a credible, transparent investigation into the Khashoggi case. Under intensifying pressure, Riyadh has changed its story about Khashoggi’s death, first saying he walked out of the consulate the day he disappeared but eventually acknowledging he was killed inside the building. Saudi Arabia has also recently acknowledged Turkish evidence that showed the slaying was premeditated. “The explanations which have been offered thus far by Saudi Arabia lack credibility and consistency,’’ Freeland said Tuesday after meeting with union members in Windsor. “The killing of Jamal Khashoggi is a truly horrific crime. We are obviously worried about the killing of any human being, but it is particularly worrying to us because this is yet another example of the ability of journalists to do their job being curtailed.’’ Trudeau has also condemned the killing, but when asked about the recording earlier this week he offered no clues about how it might have affected his thoughts on the matter.

Toronto loses Amazon HQ2 battle, claims victory with bid effort CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The Toronto region may have lost the battle to host Amazon’s highly coveted second corporate headquarters, but its leaders claimed victory in defeat. Mayors of Toronto and its surrounding municipalities said the fact that their joint bid made the short list for the project dubbed HQ2 boosted the area’s reputation as a burgeoning technology hub and has already drawn new business to the region. The fact that Amazon opted on Tuesday to divide the headquarters and accompanying 50,000 jobs between New York City and Arlington, Va., they said, does not detract from Toronto’s newly acquired international standing. “Global businesses don’t see municipal boundaries; instead they look to assets across an entire region to support their

activities,’’ the mayors and regional chair said in a statement. “Including the Toronto Region in the HQ2 competition shows that when we work together, we are of a scale that rivals the most competitive cities in North America.’’ The Toronto region’s pitch, which billed the city and surrounding municipalities as a culturally diverse, safe and affordable hub for potential corporate growth, met much of Amazon’s criteria. The company indicated it wanted to locate near a metropolitan area with more than a million people; be able to attract top technical talent; be within 45 minutes of an international airport; have direct access to mass transit; and be able to expand that headquarters to more than 740,000 square metres in the next decade.

The municipal leaders said several companies have already seen the region’s merits, saying companies including Samsung, CBS Television Studios and e-commerce giant Etsy have all announced projects in the area in recent months. Toronto Global, the organization that co-ordinated the bid, said 36 companies have invested in the region since early 2017, citing names including Microsoft, Uber, Intel and Pinterest. “The HQ2 process was challenging and unique,’’ Toronto Global said. “It offered us an opportunity to come together to highlight the region’s advantages ... we are an engine of top notch talent and commercial competitiveness.’’ Newly re-elected Toronto Mayor John Tory agreed, saying the city’s strong performance in the competition represents a win.

Stewart reflects on formidable rookie season MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Greg Stewart became the No. 1-ranked athlete in the world in his discipline and a Canadian champion in his rookie season. No spring chicken at 32, the 7-foot-2, 330-pound behemoth from Kamloops made up for lost time in a new sport, shot put, finishing the 2018 campaign with a personal-best throw of 15.80 metres. That heave landed 18 centimetres shy of the International Paralympic Committee world record in the F46 disability class, a mark set by U.S. athlete Joshua Cinnamo in 2017. “Throwing well enough to be considered No. 1 is probably a pretty big highlight, but one of the biggest ones is just the ability to stick with it, being that it’s a brand new sport,” Stewart

said. “It’s starting to be more and more fun every day. That’s something I’m really happy and grateful for.” Stewart, who is missing his left arm from the elbow down,

topped world rankings by recording the longest throw in his class in 2018, the personalbest mark that was set at the Desert Challenge Games in Arizona in June.

The former TRU WolfPack basketball player and CIS defensive player of the year in 2011 followed by winning bronze with a 15.61m throw at the Vancouver Sun/Harry Jerome International Track Classic later that month in Burnaby. Stewart was competing against able-bodied athletes and finished behind Druv Sobti (17.25m) of Surrey and Jerrett Chong (17.07m) of Port Coquitlam. Also among highlights in 2018 were gold medals at the Para-Athletics Canadian Championships in July in Ottawa and World Para Athletics Winter Throws Challenge last month in Italy. Did we mention it was his rookie season? The World Para Athletics Championships next November are the most-significant event on Stewart’s schedule for 2019. He also plans to compete at the

Parapan American Games, which will run from Aug. 23 to Sept. 1 in Peru. “I’ve been giving ‘er for the past year and a half,” said Stewart, whose three-week break from training will end on Monday. “Everything is just leading up to the Olympics.” Stewart and coach Dylan Armstrong, who won bronze in shot put at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, have circled the 2020 Paralympic Summer Games in Tokyo on the calendar. Armstrong has watched Stewart improve his personalbest mark by nearly three metres since throwing 13.08m at his first IPC-sanctioned event in 2017. That type of improvement is extraordinary, but so is Stewart’s body type and work ethic. “I see podium potential in 2020,” Armstrong said. “We’re not going to make the final. We’re going to win.”

LAJOIE WANTS BLAZERS TO BE MORE RESILIENT MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops product Max Palaga is screened by Kamloops Blazers’ forward Luc Smith at Sandman Centre on Sunday. Palaga, formerly of the Blazers, was named first star in a 5-2 victory for his Everett Silvertips.

Worrying about longterm ramifications of poor results against a divisional foe this weekend or his team’s diminishing position in league standings seems folly to Kamloops Blazers’ head coach Serge Lajoie. His concern is elsewhere. “Right now, we’re on a winless streak again,” said Lajoie, now 17 games into his WHL coaching career. “Confidence is low. Guys are gripping their sticks. I’d be very cautious to say, well, now these are important games. Every game is important for us to get better.” Prince George will play host to the Blazers (6-9-1-1) on Saturday and Sunday. Kamloops has suffered

defeat in four consecutive contests, the most recent setbacks a pair of weekend losses to the U.S. Division-leading Everett Silvertips at Sandman Centre — 6-1 on Friday and 5-2 on Sunday. Prince George (8-81-2) is third in the B.C. Division, three points clear of Kelowna (8-12) and five points ahead of Kamloops. “It’s our mindset that needs to be worked on and that’s the resiliency piece,” Lajoie said. “You just feel the energy on the bench being affected after a goal against. “We found ourselves down 1-0 after 15 minutes of good, structured play against Everett on Sunday. We just have to take a deep breath and realize that mistakes are going to happen and stay the course.” Vancouver (13-4-2-0) is atop the B.C. Division, eight points clear of sec-

ond-place Victoria (106) and 14 points ahead of Kamloops, which is last in the Western Conference. The Blazers rattled off four straight wins before this four-game slide began. “We’re a streaky team, whether on the positive or negative,” Lajoie said. “It has nothing to do with Xs and Os. It has everything to do with mindset. You can’t give players confidence. They earn it.” Consistency, confidence, grit and resiliency will take time to develop, said Lajoie, whose Blazers will return home to host Regina on Tuesday. “To me, when I look at it, it’s very simple, but it’s not something that can be built or changed in two or three months,” Lajoie said. “It’s going to take a little bit of time to make sure everybody is on the same page.”

Davis helps Pack earn split

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Westsyde secondary graduate Joe Davis goes to the basket for the TRU WolfPack at the Tournament Capital Centre on the weekend.

Kamloops product Joe Davis paced the TRU WolfPack to their first victory on home court on Saturday, registering a team-high 22 points in an 80-70 win over the Victoria Vikes at the Tournament Capital Centre. “We are happy with our effort tonight,” Davis, a fourth-year forward, told TRU sports information. “We thought we could be better in some areas yesterday. We will enjoy the win tonight and start getting ready for next weekend.” The Vikes (2-4) ruined the Pack’s home opener on Friday, dispatching the home team 73-65. “Full credit to them,” WolfPack head coach Scott Clark said. “They deserved to win. We need to do a much

better job of imposing our will on the game and do what we have to do for us to be successful.” Enrico Nuno, a fourthyear forward from Half Moon Bay, Calif., had 22 points, 10 rebounds and six assists in a losing effort. TRU (2-2) will receive a telling test against the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver this weekend. The T-Birds are second in Canada West standings with a 5-1 record, two points behind the league-leading Calgary Dinos (6-0). TRU, which is scheduled to play four straight home games following the Vancouver road trip, is tied for fifth in the conference with Victoria, Manitoba and Fraser Valley.

CALGARY VOTES ON OLYMPIC GAMES

DONNA SPENCER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WolfPack lose twice, remain winless TRU WolfPack women’s basketball head coach Scott Reeves said much learning will be done this season. Canada West curriculum continued with a few lessons from the Victoria Vikes on the weekend. Victoria (5-1) swept TRU (0-4) at the Tournament Capital Centre, winning 81-62 on Saturday and 78-59 on Friday.

“Not to be tonight,” WolfPack assistant coach Chuck Ferguson told TRU sports information after the home-opener defeat. “We just didn’t execute well enough. You can’t shoot the ball the way we did tonight and expect to win games.” Michelle Bos, a fifthyear guard from Surrey, led the Pack on the weekend. She had 16 points, 11

rebounds, four assists and one block on Friday and followed with 19 points, 10 rebounds and one assist on Saturday. TRU has the lowest field-goal percentage (29.7) in the league and is among three winless teams. Mount Royal of Calgary and UBC Okanagan of Kelowna have matching 0-6 records, while Trinity Western of Langley leads

the 17-team league with a perfect 6-0 mark. The WolfPack will be chasing their first victory of the campaign against the UBC Thunderbirds in Vancouver this weekend. UBC (3-3) will play host to TRU on Friday and Saturday. TRU will return home to host UBC Okanagan the following weekend at the TCC.

CALGARY — Calgarians have headed to the polls to declare whether they want the city to host a second Winter Games. The question “are you for or are you against hosting the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games?’’ was posed to them on Tuesday in a plebiscite to help determine whether the city should move ahead with a bid. Polls closed at 7 p.m. As of noon, nearly 131,000 votes were cast, including through advance polls and mail-in ballots. There were 767,734 eligible voters in Calgary on the 2018 list that was provided by the province of Alberta. Returning officer Laura Kennedy said plebiscite-day voting was on track to match the turnout for the 2017 municipal election. “It’s going very, very well,’’ Kennedy said. “I’m very

pleased with how well it’s going.’’ Calgary was host city of the 1988 Winter Olympics. The legacy venues from those games form the foundation of a potential second bid, which would now include the Paralympic Games. While the result of the vote is non-binding on a city council that has the final say, the vote will influence council’s decision. The plebiscite was a condition of the Alberta government providing money for a bid. The provincial government is paying for the $2-million cost of the plebiscite. In an estimated $5.1-billion total price tag to host the games, the public investment asked of three orders of government is $2.875 billion. What a cost-sharing agreement between the federal, provincial and municipal governments would look like wasn’t clear to the public until Oct. 31.

Broncos O-line coach named club’s new general manager Giuseppe Liberatore anticipates bumpy transition on gridiron KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

The Kamloops Broncos did not need to look far to fill the void left at the general manager position following another disappointing B.C. Football Conference campaign. The club announced on Friday that Giuseppe Liberatore had been named general manager. Liberatore had been the club’s offensive line coach — a position he hopes to continue while wearing the GM hat. But, he said, the first order of business is finding a new head coach to guide players through what Liberatore expects to be a bumpy transition for the organization. “Based on my past few years with the

Broncos, what I’m looking for is just to provide some stability with this transition,” he told KTW, noting the hunt for a new coach is underway. “It has started. There’s been some interest — a few applicants and others who have expressed interest, but haven’t applied yet.” Liberatore, 52, played high school football in Kamloops before a stint with the Okanagan Sun in the junior ranks. He then studied at McGill, where he was a member of the school’s rugby team. A business consultant who has also worked as an instructor at Thompson Rivers University, Liberatore said he is excited about his new role with the Broncos. “I really enjoy being involved with

football,” he said. “For me, it’s a hobby and a way to give back to a sport that gave a lot to me.” Former Broncos’ GM Jan Antons stepped down on Oct. 14, one day after the club fell 26-22 to the Langley Rams to cap off a winless BCFC season. Days later, the club released its entire coaching staff, including head coach Brad Yamoaka, who compiled a 9-31 record in four seasons. Liberatore said he knows things won’t change overnight, but he’s prepared to stick it out to see things through. “We realize that we’re in transition and there’s probably going to be a period of adjustment,” he said. “We may struggle a bit, but what we’re doing is for the long run.”

Leos’ GM has plans for ‘aggressive’ off-season B.C. season ends with 48-8 thumping in Wally Buono’s final game as head coach THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — Ed Hervey says he wants the B.C. Lions to be the first choice for CFL free agents as he strives to build a championship team. The club’s general manager spoke with reporters on Tuesday after the Lions’ season ended with a crushing 48-8 loss to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats in the Eastern semifinal on Sunday. Hervey said he doesn’t expect a “massive overhaul of the roster’’ but he wants to add speed, athleticism and youth in some areas and will be “extreme-

ly aggressive’’ in free agency. He declined to say which players he’s looking at keeping, and whether that group could include current Lions quarterbacks Travis Lulay or Jonathon Jennings, who will both be free agents. Hervey is also looking to replace the club’s head coach, as Wally Buono is retiring from the post. Hervey said he wants someone who is committed to building a championship team. The GM said he doesn’t have a deadline for bringing in someone new, but is looking to hire from within the CFL. The loss Sunday marked legendary

NHL GMs discuss goalies’ concerns about equipment THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Certain members of the NHL’s goalie fraternity have voiced their displeasure with the league’s move to shrink chest protectors this season. Safety — more than a few netminders have complained about increased bruising — and the fairness of the switch are among the concerns raised. The league’s 31 general managers touched on the matter at their meeting Tuesday, but executive vice-president and director of hockey operations Colin Campbell said they had no issues with the change to date. “We did discuss the fact that some goalies were complaining,’’ Campbell said. “In some instances, the complaints went with their performances.’’ Among the grievances from some netminders is the new padding doesn’t provide the same protection, especially on the arms or shoulders. “There are forwards and there are defencemen that get bruises when they get hit,” he said.

B.C. and CFL coach Buono’s last game on the sidelines. “The one thing I did think about as I was walking off the field [was] I wouldn’t have to have this feeling again,’’ said the B.C. Lions’ coach. “[Losses] are lasting and they are brutal,’’ he added. Following its win over B.C., Hamilton will take on Ottawa in the nation’s capital on Sunday while Calgary will host Winnipeg with berths in the Grey Cup on the line. The Grey Cup game will be played in Edmonton on Nov. 25.

SUDOKU FUN BY THE NUMBERS

Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!

You have just found another treasure chest. There are some copper, silver, electrum (an alloy mainly of gold and silver), gold and platinum coins. 1) The number of copper coins is the square of the number of platinum coins. 2) Put the type words in alphabetical order. There are more of each coin type as you go from start to finish. 3) The number of gold coins is the cube of the number of silver coins. 4) There is at least one of each coin type and fewer than 100 coins in total. 5) There are 25 electrum coins. 6) Considering the numbers that are the quantities of each coin type, there are more odds than evens. What does your loot consist of?

ANSWERS

Answer to last week’s TREASURE PUZZLE: There are two answers: 50 copper, 25 silver, 25 gold and 40 copper, 20 silver, 40 gold. THIS PUZZLE IS BY GENE WIRCHENKO Find more puzzles, articles, and full solutions online at genew.ca

WEEKLY HOROSCOPES

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

Aries, communication from a business partner or friend is highly positive and gets the gears in your head turning. As enthusiasm builds, try to bring in some key players.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

Cancer, it may be best if you plan some quiet evenings at home with family this week to catch up with your family. This will be invaluable time spent with one another.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

This may be a good week to ask for a raise or think of other ways to increase your income, Taurus. Others will be receptive to your requests and grant what you ask.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21

You have never been one to indulge in gossip, Leo. Take the high road and stay silent so you can continue to pride yourself on staying above the fray.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

You may draw admiring glances from those around you, Gemini. You are exuding confidence, and it translates in various ways, including in regard to personal relationships.

Virgo, if your mind has been going a thousand miles an hour, find a way to slow down so you can straighten things out. Direct your focus into something productive.

NOVEMBER 14 - NOVEMBER 20, 2018 LIBRA

- Sept 23/Oct 23 There’s too much going on for you to slow down just yet, Libra. Find that second wind and keep the pedal to the metal. This will be well worth it when the results unfold.

SCORPIO

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan20 Take nothing at face value over the next few days, Capricorn. Before you invest time or money, do your fair share of detective work to see if things measure up.

PISCES

Sagittarius, this week you are feeling friendly toward everyone and striking up new friendships rather easily. Expect the party invitations to begin rolling in soon.

- Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, newfound inspiration for creative projects, such as redecorating or improving your home, is headed your way in the coming days.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Wendy Mary Walsh

Velma Louise Johnson Velma Louise Johnson (née Carlson) of Richmond, BC, passed away at the Salvation Army Rotary Hospice in Richmond on October 28, 2018, at the age of 80, after a valiant 8-year battle with COPD. Velma took early retirement in 1998 after more than 20 years at Scotiabank in North Kamloops. Ultimately the hot and smoky summers in Kamloops, and desire to be closer to her son’s and daughter’s families, caused Velma to move to Richmond in 2012 after 37 years in Kamloops.

Velma is predeceased by her father Oscar Carlson (1944), mother Annie Carlson (1975), brothers Gunnar Carlson (1983) and Lennart Carlson (1976), sister Elsa Downer (1970), and daughter-in-law Rhonda Johnson (2016). Velma is lovingly remembered by her many family and friends. She was the cherished aunt of nephews Peter McDonald of Princeton, BC, Dale McDonald of Kelowna, BC, and Keith Downer of Squamish, BC, and nieces Leslie Maze of West Kelowna, BC, Cheryl Thomas of Queensbury, New York, Patti Hillard of Calgary, AB, Carol Laktin and Janet Clarke of Squamish, BC, Flora Peterson of New Westminster, BC, Gail Allen of Burnaby, BC, and Julie Jensen of Delta, BC. She is also remembered fondly by sister-in-law Elvira Carlson and best friend Donna Fediuk of Kamloops, BC.

Wendy passed away peacefully after a lengthy battle with cancer on October 15, 2018. Predeceased by her parents, Steve and Lorna, Wendy will always be remembered by her aunts, uncles, siblings, her great niece and nephew and her friends.

A Celebration of Velma’s Life will be held at Burnaby Mountain Clubhouse, 7600 Halifax Street, Burnaby, BC, at 11:00 AM on Sunday, December 2, 2018.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, November 17, 2018 at the Brock Senior Center, 9A 1800 Tranquille Rd. from 1pm to 3pm. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations are requested to be made to the BCSPCA at support.spca.bc.ca/goto/Velma_Johnson

(250) 377-8225

Velma was born in New Westminster, BC, on September 13th, 1938, and married in St. Paul’s United Church in Kamloops on May 16, 1964. Velma’s passions included attending Kamloops Blazers games and going on cruises with her best friend Donna or sister Doreen to the Panama Canal, Western Europe, the Mediterranean Sea, Alaska, and the Hawaiian Islands. Her greatest enjoyment in later years was spending time with her grandsons. Her talents baking and cooking were renowned.

Never Quit

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh,

In 1960, Chris moved his family to Kamloops where he continued with CP Rail. In 1967 he worked as a custodian with the Kamloops School District until his retirement in 1991, at the age of 64.

Chris is survived by his five children and families: Nina (Frank) Marchese; Fred (Linda) Iadarola; Pina (Joe) Mazzei; Tony (Jill) Iadarola; Mario (Bernice) Iadarola. Fourteen grandchildren Laura (Jeff) Harbottle, Frankie (Preety) Marchese, Teresa (John) Harper; Stephan, Eric Jenna (Bryce) & Melissa Iadarola; Tony (Vera) Mazzei; Shane (Kristin), Michelle & Taryn Iadarola; Christopher, Cynthia & Matthew (Wendy) Iadarola; and six great-grandchildren Johnny Harper, Lalayna, Kliya & Kye Harbottle; Isabella & Giuseppe Mazzei and Stella Iadarola.

While in Italy, Chris married Teresa Corbo on November 30, 1946 and had three children Pina, Mario and Nina. In 1955, leaving his wife and three young children behind, Chris followed his brother to Canada in search of a better life. He found work with CP Rail in Albert Canyon, just outside of Revelstoke. Once settled he brought his young family over to join him. The family grew by two more sons, Antonio (Tony) and Fernando (Fred). With the entire family now in Canada, his mother Maria, moved from Italy to join the growing families already here.

Chris was predeceased by his wife Teresa in 1986, mother Maria in 1992, brother Antonio in 2012 and grandson Curtis in 1985.

Schoening Funeral Service

Chris passed away in the early morning hours of Thursday, November 8, 2018 at the age of 92 years. He was born on September 22, 1926 in Fragneto Monforte, Benevento, Italy. He lived a hard life and grew up during the war years with his mother Maria, and younger brother Antonio, by his side.

Chris was a hard worker, providing for his family, and always there to lend a hand with cement work and home building; even building 3 homes for himself. His favourite pastime was gardening, and he was famous for his large garlic braids. He enjoyed making his own wine and prosciutto. In his later years he had much enjoyment riding his scooter around town with fellow retirees.

Alternatives Funeral and Cremation Services

When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. With great sadness we announce the passing of Robert Birchall of Vernon, on Monday October 22, 2018 at the Vancouver General Hospital following complications of care. Robert leaves behind his daughter Hannah, her Mom Cathy, his parents John and Mary Birchall, brothers Rick (Susan), Ron (Bonnie), nephews Thomas, Isaac and Eric, and many friends from Kamloops and Falkland. He was a proud member of the Ulkatcho First Nation, Anahim Lake, where he leaves many aunts, uncles and cousins. He was the grandson of Thomas and Celestine Squinas (both pre-deceased). Robert was born January 13, 1969 in Kamloops. Growing up in Kamloops, he enjoyed many active years playing sports, enjoying the outdoors – especially swimming and paintball, and developing his love of reading while studying at the University College of the Cariboo. We will all miss his keen sense of humor and sharing of his expansive knowledge of all things film. A Celebration of Life will be held at 1pm, Friday November 23rd at Alternatives funeral home, 4417 – 29th Street, Vernon. (www.myalternatives.ca/vernon). In lieu of flowers, donations to the Falkland Community Library would be greatly appreciated.

Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!
