A woman who was inside a dumpster escaped unscathed after being lifted into the back of a garbage truck on Monday morning outside the Brock Shopping Centre Tim Hortons outlet. The truck was on its way to empty another bin at the neighbouring Mary Brown’s restaurant before the driver noticed the
woman had fallen in, Kamloops Fire Rescue platoon Capt. Darryl Cooper told KTW. “By the time we got there, she was actually on top of the truck,� he said, noting the woman was rescued via ladder. Cooper said the woman, who is in her mid-30s, appeared to be uninjured, refused treatment and was left in the care of RCMP. “I think she was very lucky,� said Cooper, adding he has heard reports of broken legs or even death resulting from people get-
ting caught in dumpsters as they are being unloaded by truck. If the woman hadn’t caught the driver’s attention when she did, she could have been buried under more loads of garbage, Cooper noted. Cooper said he’s not sure why the woman was in the dumpster, but advised that people refrain from entering the structures if trying to escape the cold or looking for food. He said people should instead access a cold weather shelter or the food bank.

Veterans Affairs Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould is quitting the federal cabinet days after allegations became public the Prime Minister’s Office pressured the former justice minister to help SNC-Lavalin avoid criminal prosecution. In a letter published on her website on Tuesday, Wilson-Raybould said she has hired former Supreme Court judge Thomas Cromwell to tell her what she can say about “matters that have been in the media over the last week.’’ Wilson-Raybould’s letter does not say exactly why she’s quitting. It does say she will continue to serve as MP for the riding of Vancouver-Granville. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office said Wilson-Raybould told the prime minister on Monday night of her intention to resign from cabinet. Trudeau informed the rest of his cabinet Tuesday morning about her decision. One of Trudeau’s spokespeople said Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan will take over the veterans-affairs portfolio.
Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod has called on the government to ensure documents related to the SNC-Lavalin affair and Wilson-Raybould’s resignation are not destroyed. “What we have seen in other cases with governments, provincially and otherwise, is that some documents have not been available that were clearly available at one point,� the Conservative MP told KTW. McLeod said Wilson-Raybould’s resignation is indicative of a government in “total disarray,� arguing the Liberals have been anything but transparent and accountable about the SNC-Lavalin affair, contrary to the promises Trudeau and his party made in 2015. “This is very serious and we need to get to the bottom of it,� she said. The Globe and Mail reported last week that Trudeau or his staff pressured Wilson-Raybould to arrange a deal with SNC-Lavalin, the Montreal engineering and construction giant, that would have let it avoid a criminal prosecution on allegations of corruption and bribery in relation to contracts in Libya.

An allegedly mislabelled cannabis product at the centre of a Kamloops woman’s lawsuit has not yet been tested. Kimberly Webster, a 27-year-old student at Thompson Rivers University, claimed her use last year of a mislabelled CBD spray left her “unable to perform her duties” in school. Webster purchased the product from the government-run B.C. Cannabis Store in Kamloops on Oct. 18, one day after recreational marijuana became legal in Canada. She said she received an email days after her purchase advising her that the product was mislabelled. That correspondence was followed up by another email stating the issue was resolved prior to purchase and all products sold were properly labelled by manufacturer Hexo Operations. Webster filed her lawsuit in November, claiming Hexo was “negligent in failing to warn the plaintiff” about potential effects of their product. Webster believed she was purchasing a product high in CBD and low in THC, the psychoactive component of cannabis. She claims in her lawsuit that what she received was the opposite.

The weeks-long Arctic cold front that has had B.C. in its grip has led to a record in electricity use in February. BC Hydro said a record for the highest February peak hourly demand was set on Monday night when demand for electricity soared to more than 10,000 megawatts. The mercury in Kamloops dipped to -20 C on Monday night. The previous February record for peak hourly demand of 9,795 megawatts, set on Feb. 8, 2017, has been broken twice in the

current cold snap. The first time was on Sunday night when peak hourly demand reached 9,848 megawatts. That is a 22 per cent increase over the same day two weeks ago — just before temperatures plummeted. The new February record set on Monday night of 10,050 megawatts is just shy of the all-time record of 10,194 megawatts set on Jan. 3, 2017. Since the cold snap began on Feb. 3, there has been a surge in electricity use — about 13 per cent higher on average,

after, it was discovered there were six bottles in our processing area that should have gone out with that shipment,” Lake said, noting the incorrect products were found at a Richmond warehouse and disposed of before any were shipped to stores. Hexo was concerned some of its highTHC oral spray had been mislabelled as being high in CBD. THC is the intoxicating cannabinoid in cannabis, while CBD use is commonly associated with relaxation rather than a high. B.C. Cannabis sent an email on Nov. 20 to anyone who purchased the CBD spray, informing them of the mixup. “No customer ever got any of the mislabelled product,” Lake said. “We are extremely confident in that statement.” B.C. Cannabis is standing by Hexo. “After having carried out a comprehensive examination of inventory, Hexo determined that no mislabelled product was sold to customers,” reads an emailed statement to KTW from the LDB. Neither Hexo nor the B.C. government, both listed as defendants on Webster’s lawsuit, have replied with filings of their own. Gagnon said he expects to see a response filed within weeks. None of Webster’s allegations have been proven in court.
according to BC Hydro figures. Electricity use is the highest between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. on weekday evenings, when British Columbians come home from work, turn up the heat, switch on the lights, do laundry and make dinner. Heating costs can rise up to 140 per cent in the winter months, which leads to higher electricity bills. A recent report by BC Hydro found more than a quarter of British Columbians set their thermostat above the recommended 21 C.

In November, Webster told KTW she used the product as a form of research for an academic paper about labelling on recreational cannabis. “We decided we would taste it and it just kind of went from there,” she said. “We couldn’t stop laughing for anything. Everyone thought we were crazy. I started feeling anxious and, at one point, I was scared of a couch, which is strange.” An amended notice of claim filed late last month paints a clearer picture of Webster’s allegations. “Kimberly consumed the CBD oral spray as per the recommended use and experienced an unexpected result,” it states. “The result was that Kimberly became paranoid, distressed and anxious.” Dustin Gagnon, Webster’s lawyer, told KTW in November the product purchased by his client would undergo testing to determine its true contents. Gagnon said that testing has not yet taken place. Terry Lake, vice-president of Hexo Corporation, told KTW in December that his company’s staffers noticed a discrepancy in their warehouse after sending a shipment of CBD spray to governmentowned B.C. Cannabis. “We sent a shipment to the LDB [B.C. Liquor Distribution Branch, which also distributes cannabis] and, shortly there-

Since then, Trudeau has denied he did any such thing. On Monday, he said in Vancouver that he had told Wilson-Raybould that any decision on the subject was hers alone. Trudeau also said he had “full confidence’’ in Wilson-Raybould and suggested she would have resigned from cabinet on principle if she had felt anyone had tried to improperly pressure her. “In our system of government, of course, her presence in cabinet should actually speak for itself,’’ Trudeau said following a housing announcement, one that WilsonRaybould didn’t attend. NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh
called on the Liberals to support a push at the House of Commons justice committee to look into the allegations that appear to have led to Wilson-Raybould’s resignation. “If Justin Trudeau and the Liberal government shut the justice committee’s work down, it would send a dangerous signal to Canadians about the state of our democracy,’’ Singh said in a statement. “Justin Trudeau must be transparent and we will continue to push his government to make sure Canadians receive the answers they deserve.’’ Last month, Trudeau moved Wilson-Raybould out of the justice portfolio in a cabinet shuffle brought on by former minister
Scott Brison’s departure from politics, elevating David Lametti as her replacement. WilsonRaybould moved to Veterans Affairs. In her letter, the MP said that her decision “is in no way a reflection’’ on veterans, their families or their service. I only wish that I could have served you longer. “When I sought federal elected office, it was with the goal of implementing a positive and progressive vision of change on behalf of all Canadians and a different way of doing politics,’’ the letter states. “My resignation as a minister of the Crown in no way changes my commitment to seeing that fundamental change achieved.”

An alleged Kamloops gangster is expected to plead guilty later this month to a raft of charges that could fetch a sentence as long as a decade in prison. Erwin James Dagle, 24, is facing charges relating to two significant 2017 busts by police that turned up fentanyl, carfentanyl, cocaine, heroin, meth and cash. During a brief hearing on Monday, defence lawyer John Gustafson said his client will plead guilty in two weeks.
Dagle has been described previously by police as a member of the notoriously violent Red Scorpions, the criminal organization behind the 2007 Surrey Six slayings. One set of Dagle’s charges stem from a March 2017 drug bust at a home on Irongate Place in Sun Rivers. In that instance, police seized a pound of fentanyl and 56 grams of a mixture of heroin, fentanyl and carfentanyl, as well as nearly 1.5 kilograms of cocaine and more than 700 grams of meth. Another set of the allegations against Dagle are related to a separate bust at a Kamloops hotel
five months later. On Aug. 24, 2017, a search of a room at the Hospitality Inn turned up eight grams of carfentanil, nearly 70 grams of mixtures of heroin, fentanyl, carfentanyl and meth, 167 grams of fentanyl, half a pound of fentanyl mixed with heroin, a pound of meth and a kilogram of cocaine. Three weeks after that bust, Red Scorpions founder Konaam Shirzad was shot to death outside his Kamloops home in Guerin Creek. No arrests have been made in relation to Shirzad’s murder. Dagle is expected to plead guilty on Feb. 26.
A Kamloops man was sentenced on Monday to three months in prison after pleading guilty to 19 charges stemming from a rash of break-ins to lockers on Thompson Rivers University’s campus and at the Tournament Capital Centre. In addition to the jail time, Tyler John Carolan will also be barred from stepping foot on TRU’s campus or entering the TCC for 18 months once he is released from custody. The 23-year-old pleaded guilty to charges dating back to June 2018. He has been in custody since September. Carolan, who was known to police, was caught via use of surveillance video. In at least one instance, he used a hammer to break into a locker and steal items from TCC patrons. The City of Kamloops has been working on making the TCC a more secure area after a rash of thefts. The city added more signs and more coinoperated locks (which can’t be removed with bolt cutters), while hiring private security and installing security cameras.

Kamloops MLAs are not concerned about being implicated by new allegations from Speaker Darryl Plecas regarding lawbreaking activities by elected officials. Plecas’ allegations come amidst an RCMP investigation surrounding his scathing report claiming senior legislature staff of inappropriate expenses. “I can say definitively I’ve not been involved in any illegal activity and I’ve not seen any illegal activity,” said Kamloops North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar, a member of the legislative assembly since 2017. Kamloops South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, who was first elected in 2013, said he tries to minimize the use of taxpayer money for anything related to his office and travel expenses. “I’ve been very diligent to make sure my expenditures are readily available for everyone to see,” Stone said of the requirement for MLAs to post their expenses online. Under that practice, Stone saids he has had no issues raised regarding his expenses and he doesn’t expect there will be in the future. Stone said any concerns Plecas may have regarding sitting members of the legislature should be disclosed to both the RCMP and all MLAs, rather than

what he described as “continuing to circle the legislature with dark clouds. “To simply cast aspersions upon all 87 members of that legislature, as the Speaker’s office has done to this point, is deeply troubling and highly irresponsible,” Stone said. After conducting a year-long investigation, which involved notifying police in August, Plecas wrote a damning report, released on Jan. 21, that accused the suspended legislature clerk, Craig James, and the suspended sergeant-at-arms, Gary Lenz, of “flagrant overspending.” Those allegations included billing inappropriate expenses, lavish foreign trips that involved little work and questionable retirement and pay benefits. The allegations have not been proven in court and James and Lenz — the two most powerful non-elected people in the legislature — deny any wrongdoing. Plecas has said information not contained in his report has been provided to police, but he has not elaborated on that information, nor has he said how many people are the target of the police or whether it includes James or Lenz — in an effort to not impede the investigation. Plecas’ chief of staff, Alan Mullen, has said the RCMP is looking at all the information included in the report, which references current and former MLAs. Ultimately, Mullen said, the police will decide if any of
that information is brought to the two special prosecutors assigned to the case. Plecas and Mullen have said they expect more information will be released by the RCMP in the weeks ahead. They said the investigation goes beyond mere work expenses and deals with serious criminal matters. In addition to making the Speaker’s initial report on spending allegations public, the legislative assembly management committee also voted to conduct a forensic audit and a workplace review. The B.C. Liberal opposition has submitted a 20-point plan for ethics reform, which Stone believes will “go a long ways to addressing the types of concerns that were raised in the [Plecas] report.” Plecas, however, has dismissed as “shallow” that plan, which includes suggestions such as posting all travel expenses of the clerk, Speaker and sergeantat-arms online, immediate payback when mistaken overpayments are discovered and no purchases of alcohol other than B.C. products for use at public events. In respond to Plecas’ criticism, Stone said his Liberals don’t have all the answers, but thinks all three parties should come together in a bipartisan effort to “make the changes that need to be made and move on.” — with files from CTV News and the Vancouver Sun

City MLAs not worried as focus on legislature heats up
The spring session of the B.C. legislature began on Tuesday and Kamloops’ opposition B.C. Liberal MLAs have a number of priorities to tackle. More details regarding the government’s Clean BC strategy, ride-hailing regulations, the upcoming budget and the BC Lottery Corporation are on the minds of Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Peter Milobar and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone. Stone said he and Milobar want to ensure School District 73 receives more capital dollars to deal with overcrowding in Kamloops schools. “We’ll be looking for that in the budget next week,” said Stone, adding he plans to advocate for a new school in Pineview Valley and an expansion of Westmount elementary.
Stone said he also wants to ensure construction of the patient-care tower — the $417-million second phase of Royal Inland Hospital expansion — stays on track and challenge the government to begin planning on phase three. As Opposition environment critic, Milobar said he wants know how money has been generated and allotted for the Clean BC plan. He also wants more details regarding the various subsidies and programs of the plan. “At this point, we have a plan that lays out a lot of ideals, but it is very light on actual implementation details and that will be the key — what resources are being brought to bear by the government to make any of these items an actual reality and effective in real world practise,” Milobar said. Following the government’s decision to not build a new BCLC headquarters in
Kamloops, Stone said he and Milobar are asking that Attorney General David Eby allow them to take personal tours of the local office and the Vancouver facility to better understand the government’s reasoning. Stone said the current facility in Kamloops was build in the 1950s and he understands the working conditions are not good. “We want to see that and we want to talk to folks in the Kamloops building about those issues and, likewise, we want to see what the capacity looks like in the Vancouver office,” said Stone, who is the Opposition critic for municipal affairs. Milobar is a member of the select standing committee on Crown corporations tasked with producing a report by March 31, with recommendations on regulations regarding app-based ride-hailing. He said all that remains is for the report to be written.

Cannabis shop bid nixed by council JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops council denied its first cannabis licence application on Tuesday afternoon for a store at 6-685 Tranquille Rd. Council voted 4-2 against the application from Ian Burak — who was also approved by council during that same meeting for a licence downtown on Fourth Avenue — following opposition from Lii Michif Otipemisiwak non-profit
members concerned about impacts on clientele (youth and residential school survivors), crime in the area and parking. LMO staff asked council if they would support placing a cannabis store next to a day care. The city’s zoning bylaw outlines restrictions against cannabis stores located near schools, but does not address agencies for children. “This is just one more added thing that I think is hard to bring to our families that are so vulnerable,” LMO’s Rhonda Millwater told council.
Burak, however, noted his company has met city and provincial requirements. He said added security in the area could help to curb crime and regulations prevent selling cannabis to children. Voting against the application were councillors Dieter Dudy, Kathy Sinclair, Bill Sarai and Mike O’Reilly. Voting in favour were Mayor Ken Christian and Coun. Sadie Hunter. Three other applications were approved by council unanimously.

A CHANGE IN ONLINE COMMENTING
A
t its best, social media is a marvel. On Facebook, Twitter and other platforms, you can gain access to an untold amount of information and literally connect with the world. At its worst, social media is a tool used by many to write vile thoughts they would never utter in the company of another human being. As the internet age progresses, it seems as though the problem has become greater, with the nastiness growing by the day. It can be seen daily in the comments section of various news organizations, ours included, which is why many such organizations have decided to axe their online comments section. From Popular Science and the Victoria Times-Colonist to NPR and the Atlantic, more and more news sites are dumping online comments in favour of author-confirmed letters to the publication and/or comments on social media sites that do not require in-house moderation. Beginning this week, add Kamloops This Week to that list. After much debate during the past few years, we have decided to dispense with online comments at kamloopsthisweek.com. While there have been some intelligent conversation created, too many submissions posted to our commenting platform for review consisted of insults, non-constructive criticism and an attention-seeking nastiness devoid of dialogue-building. While every comment was reviewed before appearing online, moderating the comments was a time-consuming process — and time not well spent considering the paucity of comments that added to the conversation in an intelligent, thoughtful manner. The end of online commenting does not mean the end of readers’ comments on KTW stories. There will always be letters to the editor, the authors of which are verified, a practise that seems to result in more thoughtful prose. There are also KTW’s Facebook page and our Twitter account. Yes, we want to hear from you — your thoughts, suggestions and constructive criticism, backed up by your name. Write away, the right way, and add quality to the conversation.

Is the car still king?
O
ver the last three months, Kamloops’ newly elected council has been going through a rigorous orientation that has included nearly 50 hours of facility tours, education sessions, meetings with directors and, of course, our strategic planning session. Staff have told us that, due to our topography, our water, sewer and drainage systems are among the most complex in North America, rivalled only by San Francisco. That got me thinking: if we statistically know this to be true about our water and sewer systems, could it also be true for our transportation network? After a little digging and help from city staff, I was able to obtain data on the number of vehicles insured in Kamloops. The results were shocking. At 76,000 vehicles, not only is there almost one vehicle insured for every man, woman and child in Kamloops, but the pace of vehicle growth is nearly doubling the rate of population growth. Looking more closely at the numbers, we have only 57 electric cars and 460 hybrid cars in the entire city. I believe a transportation net-
MIKE O’REILLY View From
CITY HALL work is not just about cars and roads. It includes public transit, cycling and walking. We know that from a strictly environmental point of view, we need to move in the direction of more green alternatives for transportation. Will everyone in Kamloops suddenly start riding their bikes or taking the bus to work every day? No. Is there a portion of the population that is close to making a change from a personal car, truck, van or SUV to another form of transportation? Yes. Will everyone in Kamloops switch to a hybrid or electric car in the next five years? No.
Is there a large portion of people who want to make the switch, but cannot afford it? Yes. We need to think about how we can get people to reduce their dependency on the automobile, how we can we get more people using public transit, how we can get more hybrids and electric vehicles in Kamloops and how we can help connect communities so it is easier and safer for people to commute. While we will always have a need for cars in Kamloops, a big decision that needs to be made is whether we take a carrot or stick approach to convince people to make the transition to a more environmentally friendly mode of transportation. That will be up to council to wrestle with, but I prefer the carrot approach. I believe we can get to a greener Kamloops by working together and exploring all the options and opportunities.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
BASIC HOUSING IS A NECESSITY DESIGNATE OUR TWO PARKS AS HERITAGE SITES Editor: Riverside Park is a valuable and welcoming haven of green space in downtown Kamloops. The land for the park was purchased from the Shuswap Milling Company in 1910 and became Kamloops’ new park. For a short while, it was called Coronation Park. Riverside is what it was known as and the name aptly applies. For many reasons, the park is far too valuable an asset to Kamloops to be subject to commercial ventures. We are fortunate to live in a city that has so much public green space in our downtown area, right beside the rivers, where everyone can access it easily. Combined with Pioneer Park, the entire area could not be more perfect. The city’s forefathers planned well for the future. Both Riverside and Pioneer parks should be officially designated as heritage sites. There is not a need for either of them to be altered in any way. Thank you very much to city parks staff for their excellent commitment to keeping all our parks neat, tidy and well-cared for. Thanks also for the historical and informative signs posted within all our parks. Residents and tourists enjoy seeing early pictures and learning of the history, plants and animals in our area. W. and M. Scott Kamloops
Editor: Attitudes like Tom Fletcher’s, as outlined in his Feb. 8 column (‘Distracted in Victoria’) trouble me dearly. He describes “renter protection measures” currently on the table at the B.C. legislature as “popular with people who demand universal basic housing and such Utopian socialist goals.” No, they are popular with families who rent and live at the whim of the people who own the properties. A landlord’s motivation in renting a home is to make money. When a yearly rent increase is a fraction of what the landlord could get by illegally evicting tenants and re-renting at a much higher rate, we get the situation we have now — plenty of illegal evictions and a lot of blindsided families scrambling for roofs over their heads, with no recourse but to pay those higher rents or lower their
expectations and move to worse accommodations. It is the exact opposite of what Fletcher writes: “Moving to a new or renovated home and bringing a lower-priced unit onto the market.” Young families do not aspire to climb the rental ladder. They are trying to save to buy a home. These crimes are not just a rare occurrence. They are an epidemic, happening to the same people year after year, and it is devastating to these families, especially the children. There is no “landlord licence” that can be revoked. The worst landlord can be taken to court (this is rare as most tenants can’t afford it or are too busy finding a new home and trying literally to move on). And, if the tenants do win, said landlord is already profiting from a new set of victims.
There is no legal way to stop a lawbreaking landlord from renting again and again, even if they have lost 1,000 court cases, hence the need for regulation. Fletcher should realize that “basic housing” is not a “Utopian socialist goal.” It is an absolute necessity. Fletcher is off-base when he writes that “one problem with this kind of regulation is it deters construction.” The province’s construction industry is a juggernaut and nothing that happens in Victoria will stop it. What these new regulations will hopefully do is make it less attractive to people who already own homes to buy up all the single-family homes, thereby forcing prices up and leaving families at the mercy of anybody who qualifies for two mortgages.

Water service restored after mains ruptured Cold temperatures, lack of snow cited as factors in burst pipes last week in downtown Kamloops and Sahali JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Repairs are complete and water services have been restored following water main pipe breaks last week in the city that were blamed on abnormally cold temperatures and a lack of snow. City of Kamloops utility services manager Greg Wightman said potable water has been restored to Glenfair Estates, government buildings and homes
in Lower Sahali after water mains burst on Columbia Street, between Ponderosa Lodge and the Kamloops Law Courts, and on Greenstone Drive, between Bestwick Drive and Pyramid Court in Lower Sahali. Wightman said crews worked around the clock since Thursday and had water service fully restored by Sunday afternoon. “We were really hampered by frost,” he said. “Once we started digging, we found about three feet

Mayor cuts $35K Drivers amid city tax hike warned of ROAD WORK
JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The mayor has made more than $35,000 in cuts to his office at Kamloops City Hall amidst an anticipated property tax rate increase. The mayor and council’s $272,000 budget for travel, contingency and other expenses, excluding remuneration, has been reduced by 13 per cent. “Every department had to cut and so did the mayor’s office,” Mayor Ken Christian said. City of Kamloops corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said the mayor perused the budget items and made cuts to travel ($6,300), contingency ($4,000) and Sister City Uji Japan ($25,000). “The mayor cut some external contractual, which is basically like consulting money and stuff that they have at their disposal, a little bit in there,” Humphrey said. “He cut a little
bit from the sister cities budget, which is the money that they spend on receiving and going to Japan as part of the Uji sister city. So, they haven’t done that in a couple years and he decided to set it up to be once per term for council instead of potentially twice.” The cuts were small compared to the city’s overall budget, Humphrey said, but significant relative to council’s budget. She added the mayor “walked the walk” after staff were asked to review budgets in city departments. “I think that shows leadership from city council,” Humphrey said. The reduction was part of the recent provisional tax rate decrease, which saw the rate lowered from a 3.4 per cent increase to 2.3 per cent. Council is still mulling another one per cent increase in the next month, however, due to proposed supplemental budget items.

Ridgeview Lodge in Brocklehurst and at the Staples building in Dufferin. Asked if other issues have arisen, Wightman said: “That’s all that we’ve seen at this point.” Wightman will provide a report on the matter to city council on Tuesday. Environment Canada is calling for flurries this week, with the temperature expected to warm closer to Family Day long weekend, with a forecast high of -2 C.
Signs of infill are beginning to show in Kamloops. Last year, the city issued record-breaking building permit values, at $285 million, but new development infrastructure was limited compared to previous years. In 2018, the city recorded 1,180 metres of new roadway, 580 metres of new sidewalk and 1,925 metres of combined new water, sanitary and storm mains. That compares to more than 4,350 metres of new roadway and 2,450 metres of new sidewalk in 2017; 3,110 metres of new roadway and 1,965 metres of new sidewalk in 2016; and 6,290 metres of new roadway
and 3,950 metres of new sidewalk in 2015. Overall, the numbers are down. “It’s not a reason to be alarmed,” city development director Marvin Kwiatkowski said. “It’s just due to less subdivisions of a larger nature, where there’s less larger sections of road and infrastructure being built.” Kwiatkowski said infill is a positive because infrastructure is already in place. “In our case, a lot of the projects last year were more multifamily type projects, stratadevelopment type projects, so the city is not taking over the infrastructure on a strata development,” he said.
congestion on West Vic KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
Mayor Ken Christian wants Kamloops residents to get their heads around impending impacts of a major road construction project, which will begin downtown this spring. Christian said residents are wondering how they will get to North Kamloops when the West Victoria Street project begins and he is telling them it will be difficult. He likened the project to road closures during 2015 work on Overlanders Bridge. “This is going to be that times 18 months,” Christian said. “And, so, people need to start thinking about that. We will help them through it, in terms of planning alternatives and working at different times of the day and everything that we can, but you can’t dig up a major thoroughfare and totally rebuild it without disruption.” The city is planning to start the West Victoria Street project in April. The city has said the project will impact traffic, though lanes will be maintained in both directions. It will include roadwork and utility infrastructure upgrades beneath the asphalt, as well as upgraded lighting, sidewalks and landscaping. The city has said it will be working with businesses along the arterial route during that time, as well as emergency services, transit and the city’s marginalized, due to proximity to The Mustard Seed New Life Community and Emerald House shelter. The project could take up to two years to complete.

Final budget meeting draws 35 JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
About 35 people braved snowy streets on Feb. 7 to attend the city’s final public meeting of the 2019 budget cycle. They joined city staff and council at Sandman Centre to discuss everything from transit to interface fire protection and the future of the former McArthur Island golf course land. Residents gave feedback on supplemental budget items, which have yet to be decided upon by council, and planted seeds for the future. “I just think it’s important citizens know what’s happening,” Sheila Park said when asked why she attended. The city’s corporate services director, Kathy Humphrey, outlined a list of 13 supplemental budget items which, if approved, would increase the provisional tax hike, which is currently set at a 2.3 per cent and is expected to hit the average Kamloops household (assessed at $408,000) by about $48. Should all provisional items be approved and be funded as per
staff recommendations, about one per cent would be tacked on to the rate. Humphrey noted Kamloops’ provisional tax rate is low compared to other B.C. communities, such as Vernon (5.6 per cent), Kelowna (4.4 per cent) and Vancouver (4.5 per cent). However, British Columbians already face increasing taxes this year, from the Employers Health Tax to increased carbon tax and FortisBC and ICBC hikes. “I pay taxes in Kamloops, as does everyone else on council,” Mayor Ken Christian told residents. “We are conscious of a lot of the pressures that are out there for citizens. In particular, citizens on fixed income. That does not escape any of us on city council.” Speaking with KTW, Christian said two themes emerged from the night: those who don’t want to see taxes increase and other who want expenditures, particularly when it comes to active transportation. Thompson Rivers University student Mico Miege-Moffat supports the city’s proposal to add 3,000 transit hours. The expansion would cost the city $37,400 in the first year from taxation and
$112,250 per year going forward, depending on vehicle requirements and how additional hours are implemented. “I would like to see, kind of like an expansion of what the No. 9 is doing right now,” he said. “More buses coming and going regularly, every 15 minutes, that’s awesome. Maybe expand it to the North Shore exchange or the No. 7.” Also in attendance on Thursday was Kamloops Disc Golf Club president Ben Laidlaw, who came to support a nature park and disc golf course proposal on McArthur Island. Council has already given the project a green light, but the financing has yet to be approved. The city is proposing a threeyear, multi-phased project to transform the former golf course land, starting with $198,000 in the first year to remove old infrastructure, clean up the seven-hectare site, construct paths, refurbish the minigolf course and add an 18-hole disc golf course. Other residents turned up to oppose a proposed public market in Riverside Park, to request recycling improvements and to argue for fast-tracking of a TRU overpass on Summit Drive.

Still no sign of cowboy missing in Merritt area Ben Tyner’s horse was found without a rider on Jan. 28 DARA HILL
MERRITT HERALD
The search for a missing cowboy near Merritt has been suspended, but the investigation into Ben Tyner’s disappearance will continue. After seven days of combing the Nicola Valley, Merritt Mounties last week requested support from the RCMP Southeast District Major Crime Unit (SED MCU) in the investigation of 32-year-old Tyner. “While the official search was suspended ... after seven days of searching, the investigation is not over,” Merritt RCMP Staff. Sgt. Lorne Wood said. “We are thankful to have the expertise and resources available from the SED MCU to assist us as the investigation transitions from a short term search effort.” Tyner was reported missing to Merritt RCMP on Jan. 28, after a local hunter found his riderless horse in the backcountry. Following his disappearance, more than a dozen search and rescue teams, RCMP, police dogs, drones and volunteers on foot in vehicles, on snowmobiles, on horseback and in helicopters scoured the region, but found no sign of the rancher. The experience has been
BEN TYNER “heartbreaking” for the entire family, said Jared Dorn, Tyner’s cousin-in-law, who added the family is still formulating plans on how to proceed. “There are a lot of things that do not make sense about the entire situation, but I am not in the position to characterize it as suspicious,” Dorn said. “I believe that keeping Ben and his situation in peoples’ hearts and minds is the best chance we have of finding him.” Dorn created a GoFundMe page (https://www.gofundme. com/find-ben-tyner) to aid in the search for Tyner, with a $20,000 goal. He said the family plans to use the funds to help volunteer organizations in the search
for Tyner, as well as to pay for missing person billboards and posters. “Our next step with the Tyner situation is just to re-examine where we have been, where we weren’t, where the other possibilities may be and come up with a new action plan,” Merritt RCMP Sgt. Norm Flemming said. “I suppose we can always hold out a measure of hope that he is injured, but alive — I’d say the odds of that become a little longer every day.” Considering the deep freeze settling in over the Nicola Valley and the length of time Tyner has been missing, Flemming said he has his concerns. “My hope — for the sake of the family, his friends and everybody — is that in the next very short while, we find where he is, what happened to him,” he said. “There is nothing worse than spending the rest of your life wondering what happened.” RCMP have said residents may see an increase in police presence throughout Merritt and the surrounding area during the investigation. Anyone who has information about Tyner’s disappearance is asked to contact the Merritt RCMP at 250-378-4262 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

A Kamloops lawyer and partner with Fulton and Company law firm has been appointed a B.C. Supreme Court judge. Dennis K. Hori was named a justice of the court on Friday by federal Justice Minister and Attorney General David Lametti. Hori will sit in Kelowna. Hori was born and raised in Kamloops and received a bachelor of science in chemistry from the University of British Columbia before receiving his law degree in 1983 from the University of Victoria Law School.

Sagmoen BLACK PRESS
A Salmon Arm-area man linked to a property searched by police in connection to a number of missing women has two trials slated to take place in B.C. Supreme Court later this year. Curtis Sagmoen’s trial dates were confirmed during a brief hearing on Monday in Vernon. Sagmoen is slated to stand trial in Vernon beginning on Sept. 9 on firearms charges and an allegation he uttered threats. A seven-day assault trial is scheduled to begin on Dec. 9, also in Vernon. Sagmoen lived on a property between Salmon Arm and Armstrong that was the subject in 2017 of an intense, days-long search by police.

Weekend fundraiser to buy bed for Kaiden The Thompson Rivers University Kappa Beta Gamma sorority (alpha theta chapter) is hosting a fundraiser this weekend to help a Kamloops family buy a specially made bed for their son. Kaiden Ling, now seven years of age, suffered a loss of oxygen at birth and sustained significant brain damage. He has been diagnosed with cerebral palsy and autism. Kaiden wanders at night, has a high pain tolerance and is non verbal. He requires 24-hour care. The bed at the centre of the fundraiser is a Safety Sleeper enclosed medical safety bed that would prevent Kaiden from wandering at night
KAIDEN LING and injuring himself. The sorority and the Ling family have set $5,000 as the goal in the fundraising effort.

MASTERS OF FINANCE FORMER FINANCE MINISTER WILSON DIES THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Michael Wilson, a former politician, diplomat and longtime mental-health advocate, has died at age 81. The University of Toronto, where Wilson served as chancellor from 2012 to 2018, confirmed his death in a post on its website on Sunday night, saying the school’s flag will fly at halfmast until Wilson’s funeral. The school’s president, Meric Gertler, called Wilson a “great Canadian’’ who improved many lives through his “comprehensive excellence, his unassuming generosity and his quiet compassion. “From spearheading public policy of the highest significance to publicly confronting the challenge of mental illness, Michael Wilson (left), then-finance minister, walks down steps in the House of Commons with thenprime minister Brian Mulroney in 1986, two years into the Progressive Conservatives’ eight years in power with majority governments. TORONTO PUBLIC LIBRARY PHOTO
Michael Wilson was a true champion,’’ Gertler said in a statement. “He bore the title, ‘The Honourable,’ by virtue of the public offices he held,” Gertler said. “But the description came spontaneously to all who had the good fortune to know him.’’ Wilson served for more than a decade as the Progressive Conservative MP for the Toronto-area riding of Etobicoke Centre, including time as finance minister and minister of international trade under then-prime minister Brian Mulroney. Under Mulroney, Wilson helped negotiate the North American free-trade agreement and brought in the federal goods and services tax, initiatives that were controversial at the time, but have survived to become pillars of federal policy. From March 2006 until October 2009, he served as Canada’s ambassador to the United States. Former prime minis-
ter Stephen Harper, who appointed Wilson to the post in Washington, said he served Canada with “exceptional skill and dedication. “From the cabinet table to serving our country with dignity and wisdom as ambassador in Washington, Mike embodied the best of public service,’’ Harper wrote on Twitter. After losing his son, Cameron, to suicide in 1995, Wilson became a passionate advocate for mental health and often spoke about the need for access to care. He was involved with a number of advocacy groups, including the Mental Health Commission of Canada and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and was a companion of the Order of Canada. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Wilson’s “dedicated service’’ to Canadians will leave a lasting impact on the country. “We’ve lost a truly great Canadian. My condolences to his family and friends,’’ Trudeau wrote on Twitter.
Ottawa expects trade interest in China to slow LEE BERTHIAUME
CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Canada’s trade minister says the government expects Canadian business interest in China to slow given current tensions, but he is confident the two countries will work through their differences and allow economic ties to again flourish. That confidence is based on the long and complex trading relationship between Canada and China, which has continued despite a recent “difficult period’’ between the two countries, Jim Carr told the Canadian Press in an interview on Sunday. “It’s not an easy time. It’s challenging,’’ Carr said from Vancouver, where he was set to launch a week-long campaign to promote Canada’s newest
trade deal, the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for the Trans-Pacific Partnership, or CPTPP. But, he added, “when we add the perspective of the relationship going back decades, and the importance of the continuing relationship, I’m confident we will move beyond this point and continue to broaden and deepen our relationship with the Chinese.’’ Ottawa and Beijing have been locked in a diplomatic dispute since the arrest of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou in Vancouver in December at the request of the United States, which is seeking her extradition on fraud allegations. After her arrest, China detained two Canadians — former diplomat Michael Kovrig and entrepreneur Michael Spavor
— on allegations of engaging in activities that endangered the country’s national security. It upgraded the drug-smuggling sentence of another, Robert Lloyd Schellenberg, from 15 years in prison to the death penalty. The federal government has since increased its travel advisory for China by warning potential visitors about “the risk of arbitrary enforcement of local laws.’’ Carr said he expects some Canadian businesses to steer clear of the country in the near term. “We think it’s likely that there won’t be the same kind of growth of travel and of these kind of exploratory visits that there might be if there were no tensions,’’ he said. However, he added that many Canadian firms are continuing to travel to China.
“We are confident that we will work our way through this and return to a situation where people have no compunctions at all about visiting China,” Carr said. Asked whether federal trade officials were continuing to talk to their Chinese counterparts about deepening economic ties, Carr said: “There are conversations that go on all the time and not only among officials, but among businesspeople.’’ American authorities laid out their case against Meng late last month, accusing her and Huawei of misrepresenting their ownership of a Hong Kong-based subsidiary between 2007 and 2017 in an effort to circumvent U.S. sanctions against Iran. The company’s U.S. branch was also accused of stealing trade secrets and equipment from cell-
phone provider T-Mobile USA. Meng, 46, has been free on bail since Dec. 11, living in one of her two multimillion-dollar homes in Vancouver while wearing an electronic tracking device and being monitored by a security company. Her case is due back in court in March. The federal government has been rallying support from allies to win the release of Kovrig and Spavor, with a number of countries issuing statements of support and emphasizing the importance of the rule of law. U.S. Ambassador to Canada Kelly Craft issued a statement on Saturday saying her country was “deeply concerned’’ about China’s “unlawful’’ detention of two Canadians and calling for their release.

FINANCIAL MATTERS Saving And Managing Money
ESTATE PLANNING IN THE CYBER AGE HOW TO MANAGE YOUR DIGITAL VALUE WITH MORE AND MORE CANADIANS conducting their daily business online - from banking and business meetings to shopping and hailing a cab - it should be no surprise that digital assets are increasing. According to Deloitte Canada, the average Canadian has $1,000 to $2,000 in value stored online.’ Deloitte estimates that by 2020, the average Canadian will accumulate $10,000 worth of digital assets over a lifetime. Most people are aware of the importance of creating an estate plan that includes bank and investment accounts, real estate and other property. Digital assets are often overlooked but, as Canadians’ digital wallets grow, these considerations will grow in importance. If left unaddressed, family members may find it difficult (or even impossible) to access your digital accounts and information, leading to possible financial costs, the loss of items with sentimental value and even identity theft. That’s why it is essential when creating an estate plan to outline instructions that grant a trusted person the power to access and handle your digital assets in the event of incapacity (during your lifetime) or upon death. WHAT IS A DIGITAL ASSET? A digital asset is any information about you or created by you that exists in electronic form. These assets include a wide variety of accounts and information, which may or may not have a monetary value. HARDWARE Physical devices that hold data include laptops, smartphones, tablets, e-readers, digital cameras and digital music players. Hardware also encompasses any external hard drives, flash/USB drives, and SD cards or disks used for storage or backup. DATA Consider all those files (documents, music, photos, videos, e-books) stored on your devices or in a cloud-based data storage account. In the case of a downloaded song or book, you’ve purchased only the licence to use it rather than purchased a copy outright. But other files photographs, artwork, poetry, videos or any other intellectual property you have created - constitute part of your digital estate. EMAIL, WEBSITES AND SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNTS Your email and social media accounts contain a lot of information about you - personal details, contact lists, electronic messages and photographs. The contents may have sentimental value or might simply need to be closed after your death to prevent hacking or fraud. Websites, personal blogs and domain names, whether they produce income or not, should also be considered. ACCOUNTS WITH STORED VALUE Many Canadians hold virtual accounts that have stored financial value, such as PayPal and Bitcoin. Other accounts to remember include those associated with credits or rewards, such as loyalty programs, credit cards with cash-back rewards, gift cards, online shopping accounts and even video games. BUSINESS-RELATED DIGITAL ASSETS If you own or are a partner in a business, clear instructions on the treatment of business-related digital assets, such as email accounts, websites and business data, will help to ensure continuity after your death or upon any incapacity during your lifetime. If the business has any patents or other intellectual property (copyrighted materials or trademarks), these can constitute digital assets as well. Keep in mind that any power of attorney or will that you prepare should be consistent with other documents that govern your business relationship(s). PLANNING FOR THE UNEXPECTED Access to and control of digital assets should be addressed when considering incapacity planning. Planning for incapacity involves having a lawyer prepare a power of attorney document, which appoints a trusted person (often referred to as an “attorney” or “representative”) to control your assets if you are unable to make financial decisions for yourself. The document should specifically state that your attorney/ representative has the power to access, modify, delete, control and transfer your digital assets. HOW TO GET STARTED The first step to getting your digital estate in order is to take inventory. List all your digital assets and how to access them - the physical location or website associated with them, any account numbers or usernames,
and your passwords (more on security considerations later). Next, figure out what you want done with your digital assets. Should an email account be disabled? Are there photos to pass on to loved ones? You may want to consider transferring administrative rights to a website domain to someone else. Perhaps there is monetary value that needs to be distributed. An attorney/representative (in the event of incapacity during your lifetime) and a trustee (appointed pursuant to your will) should be assigned to manage your digital accounts according to your instructions. This could be the executor of your existing will, or you could ask a different person to handle your digital assets specifically. You may want to designate different people for different assets (for example, if you have both personal and business digital assets to be disbursed). Finally, store these instructions in a secure place. At some point, passwords for your digital assets must be provided to your attorney/ representative or trustee to allow them appropriate access. In some cases, website administrators may refuse access without the username and password. However, care needs to be taken to ensure passwords are secure. Keep sensitive information in a lock box or safety deposit box, with your lawyer or in another secure location. Passwords should not be included as part of your will because, if probated, they become public. With so much taking place online, digital accounts and information need a place in the estate planning process. Speak to your advisor and a lawyer to help create a comprehensive estate plan that includes all your assets -digital and otherwise.

February is Heart Month WEDNESDAY, February 13, 2019
Max Pozzo was eight years old when his dad had a stroke. Thankfully Max knew what to do thanks to a Jump Rope For Heart event that had happened at his school just five days earlier. When he saw his father with a dropping face and difficulty using his arm, he knew those were signs of a stroke. The Calgary boy called 9-1-1 and saved his dad’s life. It’s a heart-warming story told by Ashley Fontaine about the importance of education in prevent deaths from heart attack or stroke. “I get goose bumps every time I talk about it,� she said. Fontaine said that if there’s one thing that people can do to reduce their chances of suffering from a heart attack or stroke, it’s to get educated. “What are the risk factors and how to eliminate them?� she asked. “Some of them you can’t control, but some of them you can control. “Exercise you can control, your diet you can control, alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking, you can control those things. So education is key.� Fontaine is the Coordinator for Community Fundraising for the Heart and Stroke Foundation in Kamloops, though she’s responsible
www.kamloopsthisweek.com
for an area that reaches from Merritt to Williams Lake. “Last week or the week before I worked 36 hours and I put 900 kilometers on my car,� she said, laughing. “I was in Merritt, Kelowna, Salmon Arm.� She also wants people to know that while the former offices for the Heart and Stroke Foundation have closed, the organization is still very much active in Kamloops. “We’re here. We’re in Kamloops,� she said. “And I just want to stress that so much to the community that we’re here. We’re here to support. We’re here to educate. “I can go out and I can give speeches and I can provide education and I can mail pamphlets and I can do whatever I can to support that. “Just having that presence in the community, and helping them in any way that I can to make their fundraising event a success. I’m very hands on.� Fontaine wants people to know that the Heart and Stroke Foundation is always looking for volunteers and anyone who might want to help can reach her by phone at 250-572-5772. “And donate!� she added. “Donate! “Our vision is ! life, uninterrupted
by heart disease and stroke. And our mission is to promote health, save lives and enhance recovery.� One of the best ways to save lives is to know the warning signs of a stroke, which you can remember through the use of FAST. The F is for Face, specifically a drooping face. The A is for Arms,
where one or both may not work properly. The S is for Speech and whether it’s slurred or impaired. All three are signs that someone may have had a stroke, and if you see any of these signs, you should remember that the T is for Time, and call 9-1-1 right away. Every second counts.

The two floors on the south side of the mall (above) will be home to a Marshalls store (a Winners- and HomeSense-related store) and a grocery store, among other tenants. Some parking space on the east side of the mall (below) is now being used as a construction staging area, but will remain as parking once renovations are completed.
What will rise in former Sears space? MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com
A flurry of activity in the former Sears department store at Aberdeen Mall is demolition work inside the two-storey space to prepare for pending tenants. Crews are busy hollowing out the 120,000-square-foot space, but no new stores are being built yet as mall management continues to finalize leases. “It’s going to be very busy at that end of the mall throughout 2019, but when we’ll see new tenants opening, at this point, I don’t know,” Aberdeen Mall general manager Sandra Neufeld told KTW. As for how many tenants the space will house, Neufeld confirmed there will be more than one, but said the precise number has not been finalized. “If a larger tenant decides to take a space and we come to a deal, then they’re going to take a certain amount of floor space and, likewise, if we don’t come to a deal with them, then we might have room to accommodate two of the smaller players,” Neufeld said. The reconfigured layout of the space hasn’t been determined and Neufeld esti-
mated it’ll be a few more months before management knows who will fill it. Neufeld said she would like to disclose more, but confidentiality agreements prohibit her from revealing what stores are in discussions with management. As for how much interest has been expressed, Neufeld would only say she doesn’t anticipate any issues filling the space. “We have a lot of interest from some great retailers,” she said. While mall management will not divulge plans, KTW has learned that a grocery store will be complemented
by a number of retail stores. A person connected with construction of the project said one of the levels is set to be home to a grocery store of some kind. As for the rest of the revamped Sears space, it has been learned that Marshalls will be leasing one of the storefronts. Marshalls is a popular discount department store chain owned by TJX Companies, the firm that also owns the Winners chain. Marshalls has 1,081 states in the United States and 61 stores in Canada. Other stores believed to be potentially coming to Aberdeen Mall include GoodLife Fitness, Old Navy and clothing outlet H&M. “There’s all kinds of rumours that I, too, have heard and I can’t comment on whether or not there’s a validity to any of them,” Neufeld said. Work has been ongoing in the former Sears space for weeks. A gated portion blocking off parking stalls in front of the former Sears — at the east side of the mall — is a staging area meant to keep customers and vehicles away from the construction work and isn’t earmarked any expansion. “Those parking spots will come back to us once work is complete,” Neufeld said.

The City of Kamloops says business has remained consistent over the past decade, contributing to a strong and stable local economy. In 2018, the city had 5,750 new and active business licences, which was down slightly from 5,796 from the previous year and above the 10-year average of 5,467. New license applications received were down slightly in 2018, at 1,100, compared to 1,200 the previously year. “Overall, we’re fairly consistent,” city development director Marvin Kwiatkowski said. Notable five-year trends include: • more food trucks (17 in 2018, compared to 10 in 2014); • fewer day cares serving one to 10 children (56 in 2018, compared to 68 in 2014), but more day cares with more than 10 kids (51 in 2018, compared to 45 in 2014); • more real estate/insurance agents (80 in 2018, compared to 68 in 2014); • more moving/delivery/courier services (61 in 2018, compared to 51 in 2014); • more general contractors (106 in 2018, compared to 83 in 2014); • more home builders (259 in 2018, compared to 204 in 2014) • more subcontractors/tradesmen (600 in 2018, compared to 507 in 2014) • more media services with one to three employees (seven in 2018, compared to one in 2014), but fewer media services with more than three employees (six in 2018, compared to eight in 2014); • more professional business licences (580 in 2018, compared to 535 in 2014).

In December, Ernst and Young economist Mauricio Zelaya said Kamloops’ economy is strong and will likely continue to grow moderately over the next five years. Venture Kamloops commissioned Ernst and Young to conduct a comprehensive study of the city’s economy, including the future as cannabis and high-tech industries emerge. The report noted real GDP dollars are expected to grow by about two per cent through 2022 and the average income per household is expected to rise to $112,000. That compares to $77,000 in 2011 and $100,000 in 2018.

Expert witnesses limited in ICBC injury cases TOM FLETCHER
BLACK PRESS
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
The B.C. government has changed its court rules to limit the number of expert witnesses that can be used in injury lawsuits against the Insurance Corporation of B.C. Attorney General David Eby said Monday the new rules align B.C. with changes made in other provinces many years ago. The move comes days after ICBC announced it is facing another defi-
cit of more than $1 billion by the end of the fiscal year, March 31. Lawyers are bringing as many as six experts or their reports into court to speak on issues such as future wage loss and future medical care, while ICBC generally only uses two, Eby said. Some of those experts provide “expensive medical reports about people they have never met or examined,” Eby said. “It doesn’t advance any interest to have six-plus experts on a claim.” Under the new court rules, which
take effect immediately by cabinet order, parties will be able to use one expert and report for claims of less than $100,000, which the ministry is calling “fast-track claims.” Up to three experts and reports are allowed for all other claims. Judges will still have discretion to permit additional court-appointed or jointly agreed experts to give evidence. Eby said B.C. is not considering going to a no-fault insurance system and the adversarial court method is being retained. More changes that take effect
on April 1 will cap pain and suffering claims and divert minor injury claims to an administrative tribunal. Those changes will affect about 80 per cent of injury claims and have sparked a legal challenge from the Trial Lawyers Association of B.C., arguing the court’s independence is being affected. ICBC is placing a $5,500 limit on payouts for pain and suffering, while increasing the maximum payout for people killed or seriously injured in vehicle accidents. The overall accident benefit
maximum goes from $150,000 to $300,000 for serious injury claims, including nursing care and recovery, medical, dental, occupational and funeral costs. ICBC has seen a steep increase in the costs for minor injury claims, now averaging about $30,000 each. A third of that cost is legal costs, both to ICBC for lawyers and expert reports, and to customers who pay lawyers to sue the corporation. The changes are expected to save the corporation about $1 billion a year when they take effect.
After two robberies, Moviemart cited for violations JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A city councillor has been ordered by WorkSafeBC to make changes following two robberies at his movie rental store in downtown Kamloops. Denis Walsh said Moviemart was investigated in late January, after staff were robbed at knife point on two separate occasions. A WorkSafeBC inspection report states eight violations require action, including an incident investigation for each robbery that occurred in January that identifies the cause, possible unsafe conditions contributing to the incidents and changes that could
prevent them in the future. “In a workplace assessed as posing a risk of injury to workers from violence arising out of their employment and where elimination of the risk is not possible, the employer has failed to establish procedures, policies or work environment arrangements to minimize the risk,” the inspection report states. Other violations outlined by WorkSafe BC included: not holding monthly health and safety meetings, not giving orientation and training to new or young workers that included topics such as working alone and risks of robbery and having no first-aid kit on site. Walsh told KTW employee safety is a top priority. Prior to the robberies, he said he had
in place two cameras and a panic button, which hangs on a lanyard but is rarely worn by staff. He said staff were also told that if they were ever robbed, to “give them the money, co-operate and, when they leave, call the police.” “That’s what they did, but I don’t have it written down,” Walsh said. After the robberies, Walsh said he spoke to his staff and further improved security. The store now keeps just $50 cash in the register and more frequently makes cash drops. In addition, Walsh said he is planning to invest $1,000 into security measures, adding another video camera and installing a front
door lock system that will allow staff to buzz in customers. Walsh said he also recently started texting staff who work alone every two to three hours and downloaded an app to provide him the ability to watch the store. Asked if such measures should have already been in place, Walsh said the movie store at St. Paul Street and Fourth Avenue has not had problems with robberies in the past. “We’ve never been robbed in 36 years, so why would you go to that second level?” he said. Walsh said he will comply with WorkSafeBC’s orders, though he feels they “came in fairly strongly.”
What Are Your Investing Blind Spots? Who hasn't made a poor decision in life? Perhaps you ate ice cream instead of dieting, or binged on Netflix when you should have been doing your taxes (personally guilty). Regarding your finances, maybe you made an impulse purchase or blamed others for bad choices. Don't be discouraged, you are human. It happens despite our best intentions, knowledge level or experience. Understanding why and how to avoid these behaviors can be explained through behavioral finance: the study of how people make decisions in relation to money. By realizing we have blind spots, we may either take action ourselves or engage the help of others to keep us in check. Either way, the goal is the same: To make better financial decisions. Recently at TD Wealth, we rolled out a 'Behavioural Finance Discovery Tool' that helps investors identify, learn more about themselves and assist them to avoid their unique blind spots. Here are some common financial blind spots: 1) Sensitivity to Noise We live in the technology age where information
is over-abundant. Given the recent market sell-off, the noise level has been extreme and can be flat out disheartening. The problem with information is filtering out noise. There always is "breaking news" or a pundit telling everyone to get out as the next crash is coming. They are not accountable for when they get it wrong… which often is the case. Your wealth can suffer dramatically if you make a knee-jerk reaction. Remembering your investment goals and objectives should guide you, not the most recent headline. 2) Resistance to taking losses or profits Investors often put a lot of time, money and effort into stock picks. The hardest thing to do is sell. With bad investments, it is often because we hate to admit failure. With good ones, we expect the value will continue to rise and fear selling would be getting out too early. How many got it wrong with Nortel? Many believed their stock would continue to skyrocket when the unthinkable happened and it went to zero. 3) Framing Consider you have a million dollars in a portfolio. Due to market events, you are down 5%. Often, framing in terms of dollars elicits a stronger emotional reaction. Hearing you are down $50,000 could lead an investor to sell in panic. By looking at similar problems in different ways, it can help bring rationality to our decisions. 4) Short-Term Focus Humans tend to focus on immediate needs (food, water, shelter, etc.).

and paying down debts demand the majority of our time. Human nature discounts a reward that arrives later. However, saving for the future is necessary in order to enjoy a well-funded retirement. Falling to the trap of "Once I pay for this, then I will save for retirement" tends to be a never-ending circle. 5) Over-Confidence bias Your friend picked a 'sure thing' for his portfolio which doubled in value. He is proud of himself and has told you and everyone else. That same friend then picked the 'next sure thing' but the price dropped in half. Now he's blaming the markets, the company, his advisor, and even bad luck. The problem with attaching success to yourself and failure to an outside influence is that you may mistakenly grant yourself wisdom and experience you may not actually have, and become overconfident in your skills. Even the pros get it wrong from time to time. Warren Buffet, arguably one of the best investors of our time, has admitted his mistakes, learned from them and moved forward. He shows humility and a regimented process for investing. To overcome your financial blind spots, you may wish to consult a professional who will work with you to design a plan that fits your unique lifestyle, goals and circumstances and help keep you on track. Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well.

hompson Rivers University certainly isn’t the Ibiza of the Canada West women’s soccer Pacific Division. Siberia comparisons are more apt. The WolfPack, known to play in frigid late-season conditions, have a minus-124 goal differential since joining U Sports in 2014, have a record of 13-47-7 and have only once qualified for the post-season, in 2015 when they were thumped 6-1 by UBC in Round 1. Mark Pennington won’t change Kamloops weather patterns, but the WolfPack’s new head coach has other plans to make his program a destination of choice. “We need to create a culture and team identity,” said Pennington, introduced by WolfPack athletics and recreation director Curtis Atkinson at a press conference on Tuesday. “It needs to be a by-product of the coach and players. “Once you get the buy-in from the players for this identity, we’ll start to get more success on the field and that will grow into being able to help attract recruits to help complement the type of players we have here. “Hopefully, we’ll hit a tipping point and it will start to be a destination program and we’ll start to attract players from all over the country and even internationally.” Atkinson received about 60 applications, about 20 of which were ready-made for the garbage and at least 12 that were from legitimate candidates. The WolfPack formed a hiring committee and whittled the competition to three, with each of the final combatants invited to Kamloops for a thorough interview process that included running a training session with players. Fifth-year defender Natalie Verdiel of Powell River represented the team on the hiring committee and said Pennington stood out. “We wanted someone who was going to really connect with us as players and take an interest in who we are and give us tactical coaching on how we want to go forward and work together as a team — instead of individuals, playing as a team,” Verdiel said. “Getting used to someone new can always be a

little bit difficult, but I’m really excited going forward to work with Mark. He seems like a great guy. His interview was awesome.

Kelly Shantz took over and posted a record of 7-30-4 over three seasons. “Three coaches in five years. It’s always a concern,” Atkinson said. “That’s certainly not the ideal situation.

STANKOVEN EYEING ANOTHER RECORD Stankoven’s assault on the Thompson Blazers’ record book continued last weekend. The 15-year-old Kamloops product racked up a franchise-record eight points for the Thompson Blazers in a 10-0 victory over the Kootenay Ice in B.C. Major Midget League play at Sandman Centre on Sunday. Stankoven scored a hat trick to bring his season total to 43 goals, one shy of the league record held by Tyson Jost, who tallied 44 goals for the Okanagan Rockets in the 2013-2014 campaign. Jost needed 36 games to reach the mark. Stankoven has played 32 games and six games remain on the Blazers’ regular-season schedule. The St. Ann’s Academy student has 84 points this season. Alexander Kerfoot holds the record for most points in one BCMML campaign, with 108 in 38 games in 2010-2011. In January, Stankoven compiled six assists in two games for Thompson to become the club’s all-time leading scorer, surpassing Alex Rodgers of Salmon Arm, who had 67 points in 2005-2006. Stankoven will represent B.C., along with Thompson teammate Tyson Galloway, at the Canada Winter Games. Thompson (16-14-1) is fifth in league standings and in action next against the South Island Royals on Feb. 23. Game time is 6:30 p.m. at Sandman Centre. Stankoven may be forced to miss the Feb. 23 tilt if Team B.C. is still alive at the Canada Winter Games.

Pennington’s recruiting plans impressed From A21
Eight minutes with local media gave insight into what stood out, perhaps above all else, about the 39-yearold Newcastle upon Tyne, England, product — his plan for recruiting. Pennington, most recently an assistant coach for the UBC Thunderbirds’ women’s soccer team and technical director of the SurDel Soccer Club in Delta, trumpeted his connectedness to up-andcoming players across B.C. “He’s very well tapped into the recruiting network that we have to be in,” Atkinson said. “He sold us on his recruiting network.” Most of the incumbent players and recruits set to arrive at TRU in time for the 2019 campaign were
brought in by Shantz. “I don’t care if they come from Mars, to be honest,” Pennington said. “Sometimes the misconception with players is, ‘Well, I wasn’t recruited by this coach, so he won’t like me.’ That’s not the case at all. Every single jersey is there to play for.” The former Trinity Western Spartans’ women’s soccer team assistant coach did not talk too much strategy, saying playing style will be, in part, determined by personnel. “I’d love to play like Barcelona every week, but Barcelona play the way they do because of the type of players they have,” Pennington said. After watching match tape, a task Pennington said he enjoys, the new man in charge said he understands
why the WolfPack have a reputation of being porous defensively. Goal-scoring hasn’t come much easier — and Pennington wants that to change. “As a player, I was an attacking player,” Pennington said. “I love playing fast-flowing, attacking football. It’s what we come for. Fans want to see goals.” Chantal Gammie, a second-year forward from Smithers, promises to be key in Pennington’s plans for bulging the old onion bag. She led TRU with seven goals last season, five more than second-top scorer Mendonca. He also mentioned 2019 recruit Solaine Sasakamoose, a set-piece specialist who UBC was interested in recruiting when Pennington
was with the T-Birds. Atkinson said there is room for one or two more recruits for the upcoming season, but noted the 2020 recruiting class will likely be pivotal for Pennington. Most of the top 2019 talent is already committed elsewhere. “It will take time,” Atkinson said. “We’re not going to win the conference championship next year. We’d love to, but it’s going to take time. We certainly think we can be in the playoff picture.” Reaching the post-season in Year 1 would boost Pennington’s stock. Advancing past Round 1 may make Kamloops a hot destination for 2020. Anything is better than Siberia. Perhaps sunnier days are ahead.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM John Roger Linder
December 7, 1946 - February 4, 2019 It is with a broken heart that we announce the passing of John Linder, who battled for his life over 10 months, after a what looked to be a successful, but very complicated aortic dissection repair. He seemed to be doing well, but on February 4th, the second dissection claimed his life. He died very peacefully at Nanaimo Hospital, surrounded by family who were nearby. John was born to Ellen (Caviezel) and Art Linder in Seattle Washington, went to Sacred Heart Elementary in Bellevue, Washington, graduated from Seattle Prep, went on to University of Washington, graduating from Seattle University where he fortunately was introduced to Margo, who happened to be in the same Psychology of Childhood Development Class. They fell in love immediately and were married in eleven months, in 1970. John and Margo left Port Angeles, Washington, where he was teaching, for a teaching position in Kamloops, BC, in 1972 … John and Margo each had a grade seven class there. He taught at three Kamloops schools there from 1972-2007 (Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Beattie Elementary, and John Tod) retiring to Vancouver Island in 2007. He was an avid reader of all genres of history and religion, a sports fan, and loved and lived his Catholic Faith. He always said that he had no hobbies, but his life was well-filled, and he always helped with the chores around the house, rising early to make breakfast for everyone and said morning prayers with the children. John worked tirelessly for all children. He especially enjoyed coaching basketball and baseball and was eternally planning strategy at home. He coached his own children’s teams, and also his grandchildren. He was an old-fashioned teacher, who gave 100% to his job, (but nothing could make him like doing report cards). John is survived by his devoted and loving wife, Margo, of 49 years from whom he was never separated, his tremendous children; Gabriel (Nancy), Deborah (Mike), Michael (Adrienne), Mary (Christopher), Bridget (Dave), Dominic (ZZ)), Thomas and fiancé Ashley, Peter (Monica), Kathleen (Cameron), and Patrick (Montserrat); 29 grandchildren, Isabel, James, Hannah, Amelia, Timothy, Lucy, Greta, Phoebe, Marianne, John, Monica, Andrew, Luke, Frank, Joseph, Elizabeth, Eric, Nicholas, Riley, Finlay, Samuel, Lawrence, Flora, Bernard, Celeste, Adelaide, Florence, Gertrude, and Margaret. He is also survived by his siblings in Washington State and Oregon; Karen (Sam) Greenwood, Kevin Linder, Gerald (Karen) Linder nephews, Ryan and David; numerous cousins; and Aunt Phyllis (Pete) Steelsmith in those areas. He was always so grateful to God for his blessings and always did what he could to give of himself for others and was loved by all for his warmth and gentle spirit. The family is extremely grateful to all of the many doctors who either operated on him, helped him in ER, or cared for him in hospital and community, especially ER doctor Dr. Rob Brunelle and Dr. Michael Lang, and Dr. Bozinovski, surgeon at Royal Jubilee in Victoria. A Rosary will be held at 6:00 pm on Tuesday, February 12, 2019 at Our Lady of Good Counsel Church, 4334 Jinglepot Road in Nanaimo. A Traditional Roman Catholic Requiem Mass will be held at 11:00 am on Wednesday, February 13, 2019 at Yates Memorial Funeral Services, 1000 Allsbrook Road in Parksville, BC.

Gordon Henry Frederick Haines (“Gord”) It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of a beloved husband, father, brother and grandfather Gordon Henry Frederick Haines (“Gord”) at the age of 76. Gord is survived by his beloved wife Barbara Haines and her son Michael Derkacz, his brothers Laury (Laura) Haines and Terry (Wendy) Haines, his sons Derek (Elaine) Haines and Mike (Lisa) Haines. Gord also has many grandchildren who will miss him, Courtney (Willie) Sheard, Alyssa (Mitch) Haines, Samantha Logan-Haines, Jacob Haines, Adam Haines, Angelika Barnes, Amaris Haines and in addition to many other friends and family. Gord was predeceased by his parents Firman Edward Haines who died in 2001 and Lucy Elizabeth Haines (née Henderson) who died in 1997. Gord was born in 1942 and grew up on a farm on Holt Street in Brocklehurst. It was growing up on the farm that he learned how to work hard, which he applied to his entire life. Gord told stories of hitching rides on trains as a teen to go to Lytton to play pool and enjoy the odd beverage. Gord as a young man attained his refrigeration ticket and then returned to Kamloops. It was not too long thereafter that Gord started to work as an electrician in Kamloops. He built a house on Holt Street just down the street from the old family farmhouse and from his parents. This is the house where his sons grew up. Anyone who worked with, or knew Gord, would remember him for his sense of humour, telling jokes or laughing with them.
Some will remember his silver Ford work truck with his matching homemade silver metal canopy. Gord could fix just about anything, whether it was metal or wood, small motors or large, he enjoyed these projects all of his life. He was able to create anything, he built dune buggies, pedal go-carts, a hydraulic wood splitter and many more items from numerous parts and materials that he collected over the years. Gord retired from being an electrician, but never shied away from hard work. In the shadow of his grandparents original property where Whitecroft village now sits, Gord and Barb built a 94+ acre farm on Upper Louis Creek. Gord constructed a log home, hay barn, 60 ft implement shed and miles of fences over the last 20 years. His strong love of the land and animals was passed along to everyone who visited, especially the grand children who all loved their chores with Grandpa and playing in the hay barn. Gord and Barb would still come to town for Blazer games, but there was always something to do on the farm, whether it was clearing land, haying, building or managing animals. Gord loved hunting, fishing, and camping. Gord enjoyed travelling with Barb and of course spending time with friends and family always having lots of stores to tell. When Gord was a younger man he played hockey and fastball for local Kamloops teams. Gord enjoyed watching hockey games of his grandsons and was a season ticket holder of the Kamloops Chiefs, Kamloops Junior Oilers and Kamloops Blazers. A Celebration of Life will be held at the Heffley Creek Community Hall on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at 2:00 pm. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com
(James) Ken Pearson A Life Well Lived (James) Ken Pearson passed away in peace on February 6, 2019. Ken was born in 1929 and was continually amazed that he was going to be 90 years old. Ken will be lovingly remembered by his wife of 60 years Margaret Anne and his children Karen, Gillian, Janet and Michael. He is remembered as Grandad to Dylan (Meagan), Carly, Faith, Maggie, Dameon, Kelly and Max. Ken was also blessed with his great-granddaughter Rosie this past year. Ken was so proud of his family and all of our accomplishments. There are also many nieces and nephews who will remember him as fun Uncle Ken. He was predeceased by infant daughter Sandra, his brother Frank and his family in England. Ken was born in Manchester and started work at age 15. He worked for the Coal Board and was an apprentice electrician and wireless fitter. He then joined the Royal Air Force. This time of his life brought many adventures including three years in the Middle East. He returned to Northern UK and worked servicing radio telephones in ambulances and fire vehicles around the Midland Counties. Ken immigrated to Canada in 1957 with his brother Frank. He was employed by BC Tel and transferred to the beautiful town of Nelson. Here he met Margaret Anne and the next adventure began. As a microwave-man he worked on radio towers throughout the Kootenays, including Cranbrook. Next, the family of now four children moved to Kamloops, settling in early rural Barnhartvale. Dad coached softball, supported many hockey practices and ballet recitals, skiied Tod Mountain and patiently helped with a lot of math homework. Ken and Margaret enjoyed badminton nights and dances at the hall. He loved Disneyland and made four trips there with all of us in turns, including Dylan and Carly. He never lost his sense of British humour and we all know the words to many a Monty Python sketch. Ken and Marg loved to travel; Hawaii, Greece, Alaska, any casino anywhere and the Panama Canal were their favourites. He sadly didn’t make it to see the Great Wall of China. Ken had many health issues but remained resilient and positive always. The family would like to thank Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice and Berwick for the amazing, compassionate care they all provided for our Dad. No service by request, with celebration of life to follow in Nelson. Ken always loved spending time at the cabin and on the lake fishing. We trust he is at peace now.

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, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit.
She will be missed by many friends and family.
Success is failure turned inside out –
A Celebration of Life will take place at 1:30 pm on Saturday, March 30, 2019 at Riverbend Kamloops.
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt,
The family wishes to thank all the staff at Pine Grove Care Centre.
And you never can tell how close you are,
Memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
It may be near when it seems so far,

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Bernie Painchaud Bernie had a short but intense medical battle prior to his death on February 5, 2019. He was born in Williams Lake, BC in January, 1964. He settled in Kamloops in 1990 and soon found himself running a successful concrete cutting business. He was a skilled tradesman with a strong work ethic.
Dwayne Pawlachuk
Roger Sunga
September 22, 1965 - February 1, 2019
Bernie lived his life to the limit and beyond! His many passions included cars and trucks, the outdoors, gardening and his cats. His strongest traits were his playfulness and generosity.
Dwayne will be lovingly remembered by his daughter Alannah Pawlachuk and his son-in-law Andrew Paskell. Dwayne will also be remembered by his mother Linda Steffen and his father Walter Steffen, his brothers Arron (Sharon), Dean (Sherri), and sister Leslie (Dave).

Bernie was dearly loved by his father Bob (Joyce), his mother Marjorie, his brother Leslie (Anita) and his sister Brenda (Daniel).
Dwayne had a passion for music all his life. He enjoyed nature, photography and the outdoors. He had a real artistic gift when it came to drawing, song writing and playing guitar.
“...and the last enemy, death, is to be brought to nothing.” (1COR15:26)
A Celebration of Life will be held at the Coast Hotel and Conference Centre located on 1250 Rogers Way, Kamloops, BC on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at 2:00 pm. Dwayne took a lot of pride and enjoyed the friends he had made at his workplace at the Coast Hotel.

In Loving Memory of
Thomas George Thomson
Roger Sunga passed away peacefully on February 11, 2019.
It is with great sadness that the family of Dwayne Donald Pawlachuk announces his passing on Friday, February 1, 2019 at the age of 53 years. He battled the past year with courage and strength despite his illness.
July 13, 1940 – February 2, 2019
She will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by her children and their spouses: Lori and John, Cori, Scott and Robyn, her brothers and their wives: Bill and Diane, Gerry and Gloria. She will also be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by her six grandchildren and their spouses and thirteen great-grandchildren Brandon and Teegan (Macy), Josh and Erin (Soleil, Axel, Fyodor), Nolan and Lindsay (Anneka, Madolyn, Maksim), Andrea, Shane and Colleen (Emmitt, Aubrey, Windsor, Calder), Jared and Aimee (Faith, Mason). She is survived by extended family members, including many nieces, nephews and dear friends near and far. Button was predeceased by her parents James and Viola, her husband Doug and her 2nd husband Adam. She was also recently predeceased by her loving sister Flo. Button was born in Vancouver and along with her siblings was raised on Sea Island. It was there that she met the love of her life Doug. They were married on May 2, 1958 and settled in Richmond. In 1968, they moved their young family to Ladner where they lived for many happy years.
Doug and Button were devoted to their family and provided unwavering love and support, which continues to live on through their children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Sadly, Doug passed away in 1993. Button eventually settled in Kelowna. In 2003, she married her 2nd husband Adam; she was predeceased by him in 2007. Button relocated to Kamloops in March, 2018 to be closer to her family. While her time spent in Kamloops was much shorter than her family would have hoped for, it was filled with many happy times spent together. The family expresses their heartfelt appreciation for the wonderful care Button received from Royal Inland Hospital staff during her brief stay there. During the last months of her life our Mom/Nan/GG was lovingly cared for and surrounded by the amazing staff and volunteers of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice, for which Button’s family is truly thankful and grateful beyond measure. You are all angels! A Celebration of Life Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Saturday, February 16, 2019 at First Baptist Church, 454 Columbia St., Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, donations to Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice are gratefully appreciated. UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN.

The More You Give The more you give, The more you get, The more you laugh, The less you fret. The more you do unselfishly. The more you live abundantly. The more of everything you share, The more you’ll always have to spare. The more you love, the more you’ll find, That life is good and friends are kind. For only what we give away, Enriches us from day to day. Teresa PierceyGates
