The B.C. government maintained its focus on providing programs to help families cope financially in its latest budget on Tuesday, following efforts a year ago to crack down on property speculation in the housing market, bringing in a child-care plan and eliminating health-care premiums. Finance Minister Carole James said her balanced budget offers a helping hand to people with a package of child benefits for families, loan relief for students, assistance increases for the poor, homeowner incentives to fight climate change and a long-term revenue sharing agreement with Indigenous Peoples. B.C. is forecast to have the highest economic growth in Canada in 2019 and 2020 at 2.4 per cent this year and 2.3 per cent next year. It has also had the lowest jobless rate in Canada for the past 17 months, she said. The 2019-20 budget is forecast to post a surplus of $274 million. “People were told by the past government they had to chose between a strong economy or investments in people,’’ James said in her budget speech. “The truth is we can and must have both.’’ She said the minority NDP govern-
SAGEBRUSH DOWN Due to a crack in a roof truss, Sagebrush Theatre has been closed indefinitely, forcing myriad user groups — including Western Canada Theatre and Kamloops Symphony Orchestra — to scramble to find venues for scheduled shows. Here, Western Canada Theatre technical director Brad Leavitt inspects the inside ceiling structure in the theatre, which is attached to South Kamloops secondary. Turn to page A4 for the full story.

ment’s budget is “balanced both fiscally and in its approach.’’ Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone called the budget “irresponsible” with its “big taxes, big spending,” and no plan to create the wealth needed to sustain the level of spending the NDP has put forth. He said there were some highlights, but some omissions, too. For Stone, one of the highlights of the budget was that phase two of work at Royal Inland Hospital, which would see renovations done to the hospital’s emergency department, pediatric unit, morgue and post-anesthetic recovery department, was included. SD73 board chair Kathleen Karpuk told KTW she is hopeful that capital funding for projects in the district will come through, but Stone said that view might be optimistic at this point. “Many secondary and elementary schools were mentioned for construction in the province, nothing about Valleyview Secondary expansion — no mention of a new school in Pineview Valley, no mention of an expansion at Westmount elementary,” he said. And although the project that would widen the Trans-Canada Highway from Hoffman’s Bluff through Chase was mentioned in the budget, Stone said it was “very disappointing” to see further delays to the project, now expected to be completed in 2023.

A crack leads to closure of Sagebrush Theatre JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Sagebrush Theatre is closed indefinitely due to structural issues. Kamloops-Thompson school district director of facilities Art McDonald said the 685-seat theatre at 1300 Ninth Ave. — attached to South Kamloops secondary — closed last Thursday due to a crack in one of the roof trusses. The theatre is jointly owned by the City of Kamloops and the school district. “We’ve got one of the trusses, a piece of the timber is cracked,” McDonald said, “So, as a precautionary measure, we’re just shutting the theatre down and we’re working on a plan to fix it.” McDonald said there is no timeline for when the venue will re-open. “One of the challenges is the location being in the theatre,” he said. “The roof structure is high and then everything below it is tiered seating, so it just makes it awkward.” There is no cost estimate for the repairs, but McDonald said it would likely be paid for through an insurance claim. McDonald said the engineer will devise a plan, but the truss was shored up on the weekend to prevent further damage. In the meantime, the facility has been deemed “unsafe,” McDonald said, noting trusses work to hold the roof up. The theatre is home to Western Canada Theatre and the Kamloops Symphony Orchestra and is used

by touring acts and the school district. McDonald said he does not know where Sagebrush user groups will go in the meantime. Other venues in Kamloops include the theatre in the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre on Rogers Way in Aberdeen, which can hold up to 450 people, and Pavilion Theatre at 10th Avenue and Lorne Street near downtown, which can seat 165 patrons. City of Kamloops culture manager Barbara Berger said the city is supporting user groups and Western Canada Theatre, which manages bookings for the theatre, in compiling a list of all potential venues that might be available as a “makeshift performance space.” Those venues could include the Thompson Rivers University alumni theatre, school gyms and Sandman Centre. In addition to user groups and touring acts utilizing the theatre, Berger said year-end dance performances are also on the horizon. “It’s a very heavy booking period,” Berger said. As discussion surrounding a performing-arts centre is rekindled, Berger said the Sagebrush closure adds to the conversation for a new facility. “When we can take the only proscenium theatre out of the mix that can seat over 300 people, it’s a devastating loss when you don’t have anything else,” she said. “But, like I say, everyone will work really hard and creatively as possible.

have to try to come up with the best solution you possibly can.” Sagebrush is more than 40 years old. The Kamloops Symphony Orchestra is due to host an event at the theatre in March, while Tom Cochrane and Red Rider is set to take the stage in about a month. In May of last year, the federal government gave $188,000 for renovations to be made at Sagebrush and Pavilion theatres. Sagebrush was to get new emergency exit doors, carpeting and a rigging system, while Pavilion Theatre was to get new lighting and flooring. BUDDY ON THE MOVE Western Canada Theatre’s Buddy — The Buddy Holly Story has moved to the 450-seat theatre at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre theatre.

A TIMELINE OF CRIME IN KAMLOOPS
The gang- and drug-fuelled violence of 2018 has bled into 2019, with three murders, a kidnapping and a robbery — and it’s only February KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
A recent spike in violent crime — including three shooting deaths in four weeks — is part of a power struggle among gangsters for control of the Kamloops drug trade. Police confirmed on Tuesday that one of the victims shot last week in Brocklehurst, Jason Glover, has died — the most recent victim of the violent battle that has been playing out in the city in recent months. “We recognize that recent acts of violence are concerning for the residents in our community and the Kamloops RCMP is committed to identifying those responsible,” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “While we cannot say there is no risk to the general public, we can say that each of the incidents appear to be targeted. For those involved in these shootings or people who know them, we ask that you think about the safety of your family, friends and the general public.” Kamloops Mounties issued a press release on Tuesday that included a timeline of recent events linked to organized crime, starting with the murder of Troy Gold last October. Gold was reported missing on Oct. 3 and is believed to have been found dead in the Lac du Bois grasslands above Batchelor Heights. Though police confirmed in November that human remains were found, they have not confirmed they are those of

35-year-old Gold. Shelkie said suspects have been identified in Gold’s murder. “Serious crime unit investigators are optimistic with its progress and continue to treat it as an open and active investigation,” Shelkie said. On Dec. 6, Mounties executed a search warrant at a downtown warehouse owned by 35-year-old Cameron Cole, a man believed to be at or near the top of one of Kamloops’ two largest drug-dealing criminal organizations. Cole and an associate, Charles Patrick, 62, were later charged and released on strict bail conditions. The raid was part of an investigation into a home invasion in Dallas in January 2018. “The home invasion occurred at a rental home that was being used as a stash house by participants in the Kamloops drug trade,” Shelkie said. On Jan. 23, two men, Cody Mathieu and Rex Gill, were gunned down
outside local hotels — Mathieu at the Super 8 Motel in Valleyview and Gill at the Comfort Inn and Suites in Aberdeen. At the time, police said the slayings were linked to the drug trade. On Tuesday, Shelkie said one of the victims, Rex Gill, may have been shot due to a case of mistaken identity. Mathieu, though, was known to police. She said suspects have been identified in the two shooting deaths. Last week, on Valentine’s Day, two men and a woman were robbed in the downtown core by two men armed with firearms. After the robbery, the women was kidnapped and taken away in a vehicle owned by one of the other robbery victims. One suspect, Justin Daniels, was arrested in Kelowna in relation to the incident. Shelkie said both suspects and victims are involved in the drug trade.

The next day, on Friday, a man and a woman were shot in Brocklehurst, near the corner of Tranquille Road and Southill Street. Jason Glover died and police have said they will not be commenting any further on the woman’s injuries. Glover’s Facebook page has a May 2014 greeting from Troy Gold, the Kamloops man murdered in October. Shelkie said the spate of violence in Kamloops is related to the ongoing opioid crisis, which she said is largely caused and fuelled by organized crime. “Many of these crimes are being committed by people against their own local allegiances. Not all violence is one group against another,” Shelkie said. “It is not safe to be a drug trafficker in Kamloops right now. “The group who is supplying your drugs today may be the same ones who will kill you tomor-
row. If you know who is doing the violence, it’s time to contact the police.” Shelkie said police will continue to ask for the public’s help when investigating these crimes. “Because we know that there are people in the community who know who is responsible for those crimes,” she said. “We need those individuals to come forward and help us target the small group of individuals who are responsible for the majority of our crimes.” Shelkie said Kamloops Mounties are working with a number of agencies, including the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit and the Uniform Gang Enforcement Team, which has returned to the city this week after doing a sweep in January, following the murders of Mathieu and Gill. That sweep led to a number of arrests and the seizure of a number of weapons.

More on B.C. budget ‘19 From A1
The budget includes a $400-million B.C. Child Opportunity Benefit that offers help to families with children up to 18 years old. James said the benefit, which starts in October 2020, provides up to $1,600 annually for families with one child, $2,600 for two children and $3,400 for three children. James said the benefit will make a difference to many families who want better lives for their children. “Too many people in our province are just a paycheque away from poverty,’’ she said. “When family budgets are squeezed, even a small setback can lead to a crisis. Too many people feel stuck, worried that life will never get better for their full potential.’’ She said the government will increase social assistance payments by $50 a month, eliminate interest on student loans, raise support payments for children of foster parents and improve accessibility to disability assistance. Ask Wellness executive director Bob Hughes labelled as “amazing” plans to increase social assistance by $50. He noted the B.C. NDP government previously increased social assistance by $100 per month shortly after it came to power in 2017 — an increase he said took 10 years to implement. The province also announced a $76-million investment to acquire land and services to add another 200 modular homes in B.C. Housing advocates lauded the
investment and Hughes said the city could use more supportive housing, due to complex issues at the Crossroads Inn downtown. “That building can’t withstand the continued pressure we’ve put on it,” he said. The province also announced a $26 million investment into income and disability assistance enhancements to the B.C. Employment Assistance to help remove barriers to accessing supports. Hughes said physician and social workers are required to assess a disability application, something which has been difficult to get during the provincial physician shortage. “This is a really important means to help people,” he said. Eliminating interest on provincial student loans will save graduates an average of $2,300, “so they can start their careers off on the right foot,’’ James said. The budget does not name the poverty-reduction strategy that James highlighted before the budget, but said programs like the child fund, assistance rate increase and the elimination of student loan interest are poverty fighting measures. She said the government is preparing to announce its full reduction strategy in the coming weeks. Some anti-poverty groups said they were looking for more in the budget. “We saw a poverty reduction approach,’’ said Trish Garner, a spokeswoman for the B.C. Poverty Reduction Coalition. She said the $50 social assistance increase is “far, far too low. We were hoping for a much more
significant increase.’’ Iglika Ivanova, the senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives, said she saw the makings of the poverty reduction strategy but wanted to see more. “For me it’s there, but maybe not as ambitious a plan as you would have liked,’’ she said. The government passed legislation last year to cut B.C.’s overall poverty rate by 25 per cent over five years and the child poverty rate by 50 per cent. The budget does lay out the government’s climate strategy that was introduced last December as Clean BC. James said the $902 million Clean BC plan is the largest investment in climate programs in the province’s history. The climate plan will offer up to $6,000 on the purchase of a zeroemission vehicle, provide homeowners up to $14,000 for retrofits and switches to energy efficient heating, and $2,000 to replace fossil fuel home heating systems with electric heat pumps. Families are also eligible for a $400 climate tax credit this year, James said. The government’s climate plan is slated to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2030, 60 per cent by 2040 and 80 per cent by 2050. The budget also includes a $3 billion revenue sharing agreement with Indigenous Peoples over 25 years. James said the agreement to share provincial gaming revenue was reached after decades of talks. — with files from Canadian Press

TNRD pushes for online voting Some directors are opposed to the concept, with one citing hacking by the Russians JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Thompson-Nicola Regional District wants online voting to be made available to local governments in B.C. for upcoming elections. The board has voted to send a resolution to the Southern Interior Local Government Association, which will hold its annual meeting this spring. The decision, however, did not come without opposition. Multiple directors, including the board chair, expressed concern about technology limitations that could leave the electoral system vulnerable. “I am concerned that the Russians may be hacking, someone may be hacking,” Sun Peaks Mayor and TNRD director Al Raine said. “Until there’s a system that is fraud-proof, I am opposed.” TNRD board chair and Grasslands (Knutsford and Pritchard) director Ken Gillis and Blue Sky Country (Hat Creek, Spences Bridge and Walhachin) director Steven Rice echoed that sentiment, while Rivers and the Peaks (Sun Rivers, Sun Peaks, Black Pines, Paul and Pinantan lakes) director Mel Rothenburger also voted against the motion. “I think people should get out of the house,” Rothenburger said. Meanwhile, TNRD director and Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said he was “astonished” at the opposi-
tion, given abysmal voter turnout in municipal elections. Just 30 per cent of Kamloops voters cast ballots in last fall’s civic election. “It strikes me that we need to use every avenue that we can to address people in the democratic process and to continue to see the numbers at poling stations wane away to nothing does nothing to enhance participatory democracy, in my opinion,” Christian said. TNRD director and Kamloops Coun. Kathy Sinclair added that B.C. would not be the first place to allow online voting, while Ashcroft Mayor and TNRD director Barbara Roden called it the “way of the future” as more and more services go online. “I do all my banking online. I have no concerns whatsoever about trusting all of that very sensitive information,” Roden said. “I understand about the Russian involvement, but I think that’s a very different thing. … I think it [online voting] is the way of the future, especially for young people.” The resolution will be debated at the Southern Interior Local Government Association convention, which will be held from April 30 to May 3 in Penticton. Resolutions supported there will be debated at the Union of BC Municipalities annual convention in September, when municipalities decide upon issues about which to lobby the province.

LISTEN TO FACTS AND VACCINATE
A
re you going to trust science or that Facebook post linking to a dubious conspiracy-theory website? Because of misinformation and outright lies, a disease that should be eradicated is back, leading for calls from some in B.C. to make vaccinations of children mandatory, unless there is a legitimate medical reason to not do so, signed off by a medical doctor. There has been an outbreak of measles in southern Washington state, along with an outbreak of the same disease in the Vancouver area. There is an outbreak because some parents prefer to believe celebrities and others with no knowledge rather than trust doctors who know the facts. It is a fact that measles can kill. It is fact that vaccinations cannot. The 1998 study that raised concerns about a possible link between measles-mumps-rubella vaccine and autism was retracted by The Lancet, the journal that published it, because it was significantly flawed by bad science. Vaccines contain ingredients at a dose that is even lower than the dose we are naturally exposed to in our environment. Meanwhile, parents who prefer to ignore science are actually exposing their children —and infants who have not yet been vaccinated — to far more danger than a vaccine could deliver. According to Interior Health, measles can cause encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, which can lead to seizures, deafness, or brain damage. One person in every 3,000 with measles may die from complications. Complications and death are most common in infants less than 12 months of age. Those who continue to ignore scientific facts in favour of adopting loopy conspiracy theories online are endangering lives. Perhaps it is time to make vaccinations mandatory.

Power politics in B.C.
L
ook out, it’s another dumpster fire. No, not at ICBC. This one is at BC Hydro, where Energy Minister Michelle Mungall has dashed to the scene on the back of the NDP’s political emergency vehicle to put out another B.C. Liberal smouldering mess. This one is independent power production, or “pirate power” as NDP stalwarts and BC Hydro’s office union used to call it when former premier Gordon Campbell was executing his vision for a cleaner, greener tomorrow. It’s costing us $16 billion extra over the next 20 years, according to Premier John Horgan’s handpicked analysis. Green energy plans, whether in Ontario or Germany or Australia, have a way of ending up as wreckage. Campbell’s plan suffered a head-on collision with reality around 2010, two years after B.C. led the world in imposing a carbon tax and declaring its path to clean energy self-sufficiency. Based on distributed, contracted hydro, wind and biomass, it included exporting the purest power from the Best Place on Earth to California, where Campbell and his pal, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, were also envisioning a “hydrogen highway” to the future. Then came the shale gas revolution, as detailed in the report from former NDP finance bureaucrat Ken Davidson, who chose the totally objective title Zapped for his findings. Abundant, cheap oil and natu-
TOM FLETCHER Our Man In
VICTORIA ral gas transformed the U.S. energy scene and California, among other states, shifted from coal to gas for electricity. This is how the U.S. became the only one of the climateposturing countries from the Paris summit in 2015 to actually produce a significant cut in greenhouse gas emissions. As with ratings for hosting the long-running TV reality show The Apprentice, Donald Trump beat Arnie hands down. Campbell also didn’t anticipate the Great Recession that took hold in 2008. Some mill and mine investments never came back and now BC Hydro estimates it will have surplus electricity into the 2030s. Neither BC Hydro nor the NDP seem to put much stock in the upsurge of electrification the government keeps talking about. And then there’s B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver, who seems to have his own political hot mess. As a climate scientist, Weaver was a supporter of distributed clean energy projects back
in those days. He endorsed Campbell’s Site C dam, too. But now he’s leading a party that would whip him with cooked kale if he uttered such blasphemy. Now he wants distributed green energy instead of Site C — and stay tuned for the next revision. If Green folks were serious about greenhouse gases, they’d be calling for nuclear plants. But there’s no coherence to Green policy and the public is beginning to understand that. Clean Energy B.C., the private power industry group that represents run-of-river, solar, wind and geothermal investors, said the Zapped report played the familiar political game of using spot price in the electricity market to cast B.C.’s private power producers as overpriced. “In [Davidson’s] report, there is a fundamental error in using an inaccurate and overly simplified proxy for the market price of electricity,” the group said in a statement. The group also noted it employs people, electrifies remote Indigenous communities and pays more taxes than the oil industry in B.C. Mungall promised no more political interference with BC Hydro rates, but oddly next year’s proposed rate increase of less than one per cent is below the alleged annual impact of private power. And the NDP wrote off $1 billion in deferred B.C. Hydro debt, transferring it to taxpayers. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
B.C. LIBERALS ENRICHED WEALTHY
KTW reader Les Evens came across a frozen surprise in his backyard on the weekend and wants Kamloops residents to prepare for the rodents this spring.
Editor: Given that British Columbians were already reeling from the legislature scandal, the recent news that BC Hydro ratepayers are on the hook for $16 billion dollars of unneeded, run-of-the-river IPP electricity should have most voters convinced that the B.C. Liberals should never again be trusted with running the government. One can only imagine the backroom deals that occurred to enable the Gordon Campbell government to ensure B.C. Liberal insiders would be awarded long-
term contracts to provide power at vastly inflated prices for electricity to be generated during the spring and summer seasons, when it was not needed. Adding insult to injury, the projects were built without adequate environmental oversight. Fish streams were damaged and expensive hydro lines were constructed through sensitive forests and landscapes. During the B.C. Liberal tenure, if and when there was a profit at BC Hydro (and ICBC), it was diverted to general revenue to allow for more tax cuts instead of help-
ing pay off massive debt. As the cost of using electricity skyrockets, remember that it will only increase more once the cost of the Site C dam is included. B.C. Liberal politicians have long promoted themselves as the best party to manage the economy, but now we can all clearly see they were only the best party to further enrich their already wealthy friends at the expense of most citizens.

WHERE WAS THE MONEY BETWEEN 2001 AND 2017? RATS! THEY ARE BACK, EVEN IN THE DEAD OF WINTER Editor: In August 2016, I wrote a letter to the editor of KTW, noting a problem with rats in Kamloops. At the time, I sent two pictures of rats with my letter. Sadly, I have to report that, almost three years later, the rats have returned. The big Victor rat traps used in 2016 stopped springing and I had not seen the rodents until this month. On the weekend, I was cleaning the snow from a chair outside and came across a frozen rat. There is zero food source in our backyard, so it’s back to the big Victor rat traps. Wish me luck and a warning to others to be aware. Spring is coming soon and the rats are already here.

Editor: Kamloops MLAs Todd Stone and Peter Milobar claim that lobbying the B.C. NDP government for more capital funding for School District 73 funding is one of their priorities as B.C. Liberal MLAs in the legislature.
These two elected officials said absolutely nothing for years while their party gutted the public education system. They said nothing while their party shifted money to private schools and wasted millions of taxpayer dollars fighting a losing battle with
the B.C. Teachers’ Federation in court. The lack of capital funding in School District 73 is not a new problem. Why is it now a priority? Now the B.C. Liberal MLAs care about kids enough to advocate for them?

City mourns death of Out of the Cold shelter founder Bud Forbes SEAN BRADY
STAFF REPORTER
sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com
People from across Kamloops and beyond are mourning the loss of Bud Forbes, a prolific community volunteer and founder of the Out of the Cold shelter at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral. Forbes died unexpectedly last Friday with wife Jo-Lynn Forbes at his side. Out of the Cold program co-ordinator Renee Stein told KTW Forbes was the best man she has ever known. “He had the kindest and most giving heart,” she said. “He accepted everybody just for who they were.” That kind of acceptance was key to Forbes’ philosophy that everyone who came to access the shelter in the church at Nicola Street and Fourth Avenue was a friend and not a client or a patient. “I think Bud almost loved you more if you came with a shopping cart or a bike,” Stein said. In 2014, when the Out of the Cold shelter was looking to wrap up its operations at St. Vincent de Paul on the North Shore, Forbes took it upon himself to find the program a new home. He and wife Jo-Lynn, friends of St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, were champions in ensuring the program would continue to operate, finding a home at the

downtown church. Forbes and his wife were instrumental in keeping the program alive all these years, Stein said, doing everything from growing vegetables for meals to lending their shared vision of how the shelter should operate. Stein said that over the past year, it felt as if Forbes had begun stepping back from the program, though he couldn’t keep himself from being involved. Just two days before he died, he was cooking turkeys to provide a Valentine’s Day dinner for shelter guests. “It’s a wonderful program because of his vision and because
of the inspiration he brought to it,” Stein said. Forbes, a former schoolteacher, was also a longtime volunteer and past president of the Kamloops Heritage Railway. Aside from his board and leadership positions with the society, he also got his hands dirty, including roles as a fireman, working on coaches, helping build the open-air railcars and restoration work on the 2141 steam locomotive itself. There has been no word on the cause of Forbes’ death. The family is planning a service for the spring.

SD73 sends letter to parents in light of charges KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK
In the wake of criminal charges against two Kamloops high school students alleged to have planned an attack with weapons on a school, the KamloopsThompson school district has sent a letter to parents of students in the district. The letter, penned by school district Supt. Alison Sidow, links to the story at kamloopsthisweek.com and assures parents that the district and RCMP have taken steps to ensure the safety of students and staff. The letter, which can be read in its entirety below, also contains tips for parents when speaking with their children about social media posts. “Every threat of violence in our schools is taken seriously,” Sidow writes. “I encourage you to immediately report any concerns you have
regarding school safety to your school principal or the RCMP.” The two teens are charged with conspiracy to commit assault with a weapon in connection with an alleged plot to use weapons to harm staff and students at a city high school. The alleged plan was thwarted last week. The teens cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act and the name of the school, as well as the details of the allegations against the pair, is bound by a court-ordered ban on publication put in place last week. One of the suspects, the boy, was released from custody last week on a number of strict bail terms. He is due back in court on Feb. 21. The girl remains in custody. The boy’s Instagram account is named after a prominent U.S. school shooting. Included on the page
are various images and text regarding death and mass homicide, The first post on the girl’s Instagram page is of a school shooting in progress. THE SD73 LETTER Dear parents, Nothing is more important than keeping our students and schools safe, and I understand some of you may be feeling a little uneasy after hearing about a recent event involving threats to a school. Please be assured that the incident has been managed and our schools are safe. Media are reporting the District has been working with Kamloops RCMP and other community partners after we learned two students had allegedly made threats regarding other students, school staff and administrators online. The RCMP
spoke with both students and their families and have taken appropriate steps to ensure the safety of all students and staff at the school. We have established protocols in place with community partners including the RCMP, and in this case, these protocols worked well to keep our schools safe. While this incident is concerning, it is also an opportunity to have a conversation with your children about what is going on in social media and for you to become familiar with your child’s use of Twitter, Snapchat and Instagram. These are the most common areas where the more private side of a youth’s life is manifested and publicized to their peers. Questions that you could ask your children and youth: 1. “Did (______) Tweet about the ...?” 2. “What are people
saying on Twitter?” 3. “What are people posting on Snapchat?” 4. “What are people posting on their Snapchat Story?” 5. “Is anyone posting on Instagram?” 6. “What are you seeing on Instagram?” 7. “How are you feeling about what is being posted? 8. “Have you posted anything, or responded to any postings? Every threat of violence in our schools is taken seriously. I encourage you to immediately report any concerns you have regarding school safety to your school principal or the RCMP. For students who may be experiencing an acute emotional response to this incident, please reach out to your school. District staff are available to support or recommend a supporting agency. We are committed to keeping our schools safe and the well-being
of our students and staff is our highest priority.

Thompson-Nicola Regional District residents don’t necessarily want to sell weed, but they want to grow it. Most cannabis-related public inquiries to the TBRD are for production, primarily microproduction, or craft, growers, in rural areas. “In the past two months, really since legalization, staff have received inquiries almost daily and it’s mainly regarding production and craft production,” TNRD planning manager Alex Krause said. “It’s not been retail, although we just received our first rezoning application a couple of days ago, so that will be coming before the board in the next couple months.” The TNRD board last week asked staff to draft bylaw changes that would make it easier to grow cannabis on a small-scale in the region. Staff recommended reducing parcel requirements from eight hectares to four hectares for micro-scale productions (operations less than 200 square metres) and setbacks from 50 metres to 30 metres. Meanwhile, staff recommended a continued ban on retail recreational cannabis sales in commercial zones. The ban was put in place prior to legalization to prevent grandfathering in illegal dispensaries. Staff

in, there just won’t be any odour. We don’t know the truth to that yet. We haven’t gone out to do any testing. … What we have yet to see, or yet to smell, is how the Health Canada approved ones will function.” Since 2013, the TNRD has been notified of 17 formal cannabis-related applications to Health Canada, including 16 medical and one recreational. None have been approved so far. One building permit has been issued and another application is awaiting Agricultural Land Commission approval. In December, the board approved a non-farm-use application to be forwarded to the commission, for a 25,000-square-foot building with concrete flooring for cannabis production on Duck Hill Ranch in Barnhartvale. With about one in 10 applications to Health Canada successful, Krause noted “quite a failure rate.” So far in Canada, 146 production facilities have been approved. TNRD staff will now prepare a draft bylaw, including feedback from agencies such as Interior Health and various ministries, prior to finalizing any changes that could encourage more cannabis growing in the region. After that, the report will be brought back to the board and public input will be sought. “We’re probably looking at the next few months,” Krause told KTW.

are recommending maintaining that ban, in order to have more control and assess stores on a case-by-case basis. In addition, Krause said, the TNRD does not anticipate having many retail licence applications in rural areas. “In cases where we do, in certain areas, it might be best that we encourage those retail uses to move to our member municipalities, not in fringe areas,” he said. “But in the few cases that we might have, where it’s in a rural area, maybe a generalist neighbourhood store, those are the ones that we can look at on a case-by-case basis.” As it looks to loosen the rules for cannabis producers, Krause told KTW the TNRD strives to strike a balance, due to odour concerns. Setbacks are the only tool the regional district has to control such impacts on nearby residents. Staff have heard complaints related to illegal cannabis production in the past. About a dozen or so operate in the TNRD, none of which meet Health Canada requirements. “We hear from the general public, who are scared, and rightfully so, that the impacts of odour can be quite high in a residential, rural neighbourhood,” Krause said. “Proponents argue there is no smell because the air scrubbers, all the technology that Health Canada makes them put

Kamloops firefighters were called to Shuswap Road on Friday night to douse a trailer fire. A fifth wheel parked outside a home in the 800-block of Shuswap Road, a few kilometres east of Sun Rivers, erupted in flames at about 6:30 p.m.
Crews from three engines and a rescue truck managed to extinguish the flames in relatively short order. No one was injured, but the couple living in the trailer lost their dog in the blaze. According to a fundraiser posted on social media, the
cause of the fire was electrical and the couple lost everything but the clothes on their backs. The investigation is ongoing. To learn more about the fundraising effort, go online to https://www.facebook.com/ donate/2315895095090345/.

David Suzuki, well-known science broadcaster and environmental activist, will visit Kamloops next month to screen Beyond Climate, a film he narrates. Suzuki will be in the Grand Hall at Thompson Rivers University’s Campus Activity Centre on Friday, March 8, for the 7 p.m. event. Joining him will be the film’s director, University of Winnipeg professor Dr. Ian Mauro. Beyond Climate is a film that looks at how climate change is affecting British Columbia — from burning forests and melting glaciers to acidic oceans — and what is at stake. It is Mauro’s third feature film about climate change. Mauro is the principal of the Richardson College for the Environment, co-director of the Prairie Climate Centre and filmmaker at the University of Winnipeg. He is a former Canada Research Chair, a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists and has served on expert panels related

MASTERS OF FINANCE RRSP-TO-RRIF CONVERSION DEADLINE NEEDN’T BE SO SCARY, EXPERTS ADVISE
THE CANADIAN PRESS
For Canadians who have made faithful contributions to an RRSP for most of their working lives, converting it to an RRIF may seem a terrifying milestone. Overnight, your nest egg that has steadily grown for decades becomes a declining asset, with a government-mandated, taxable annual minimum withdrawal to ensure its gradual depletion. Retired investors might decide they need to make big changes to the investment mix in their registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) to brace for the feared impact of its conversion to a registered retirement income fund (RRIF). At that time, it’s best to take a deep breath, talk to a trusted financial adviser and realize that no change at all is often better than too much, according to James McCreath, portfolio manager for BMO Nesbitt Burns in Calgary. “One of the biggest mistakes people can make is getting too concerned with recalibrating things just because it’s a change on the title of the account or the structure of the account,” said McCreath, pointing out there is no legal requirement to change any of the investments in an RRSP when it becomes an RRIF. “The RRSP-RRIF conversion is a small portion of the overall planning for retirement. It’s a tax issue that the government has,”
agreed David Popowich, portfolio manager with Popowich Karmali Advisory Group CIBC Wood Gundy in Calgary. “It has very little to do with the success of an overall retirement plan. People get confused about that all the time.” An RRSP can be converted to
When did you last check under the hood of your investments?
a RRIF at any time, but must be turned into a RRIF, annuity or paid out in a lump sum by the end of the calendar year in which the investor turns 71. Aside from the fact that one is designed to allow tax-sheltered growth and the other to allow the government to start to receive
long-delayed tax payments, RRSPs and RRIFs are similar creatures. Both can contain many types of investments. The investor has the right at any time to redistribute assets within the account. You can have more than one RRSP or RRIF account at the same time. You can withdraw from either, but the funds are taxable except in certain circumstances. Although no new money can be added to the RRIF once it’s established, you can decide which investments in the RRIF are best liquidated when it comes time to withdraw the money. The simplest way to deal with an RRIF is to cash some or all of the investments and buy an annuity, usually from an insurance company. The annuity is then held inside the RRIF account and pays a guaranteed income for life or another set period of time to the investor, who pays taxes on the amounts received. The downside of an annuity is that it can drain the retiree’s savings, leaving nothing for the heirs, and there’s no protection from the buying-power erosion of inflation, a growing threat given longer average lifespans. Deciding on what asset mix to hold in your RRSP or RRIF is made more complicated by current low interest rates — the classic 60-40 equity-fixed income split isn’t necessarily what savers should be focused on. “As life expectancies have
pushed out, you want to make sure within the RRIF you’re creating not only the income you need but also some growth, so if you live for a long time, you have enough money to draw on,” McCreath said. Popowich suggested investors should think in terms of placing their assets in “buckets” tagged income, growth, health and legacy. As retirement nears, an investor should assign enough low-risk assets to the income bucket to fund his or her lifestyle (along with private and government pensions and other income sources) for the next 10 years or so. Meanwhile, a second bucket should be filled with enough assets to be invested in higherrisk, higher-reward vehicles to generate larger returns with the goal of refilling that income bucket for when it’s needed. “It’s almost impossible to maximize predictable, sustainable, tax-efficient income at the same time as maximizing growth,” Popowich said. “Those are, in my opinion, mutually exclusive objectives.” The third bucket covers anticipated expenses related to health. A person’s home might be placed there, for example, to be sold or mortgaged in the event that poor health requires the saver to enter a care facility, he said. The last bucket sets aside assets to be saved for the retiree’s heirs.

FINANCIAL MATTERS Saving And Managing Money
30 DAYS TO BETTER FINANCES DO SOME FINANCIAL SPRING DEANING WITH OUR ONE MONTH CHALLENGE.
WITH PLENTY OF PRIORITIES COMPETING FOR OUR ATTENTION, money matters can sometimes be pushed to the back of the shelf. But, just like an annual decluttering at home, getting our financial house in order can make a big difference to daily life. Make a commitment to take our 30-day challenge and set out on your way to better financial housekeeping. EXAMINE YOUR SPENDING Days 1 to 7: Track your everyday spending for the week. Include all the little things - coffee, meals, dry cleaning, etc. Consider using a tracking app or other online tools. Day 8: Analyze your weekly spending. Are you willing to bring your lunch to work a few times a week or forgo that daily latte? Figure out how much you could save - and where else you might put that money. Days 9 to 11: Add up your fixed monthly expenses (rent/mortgage, utilities, cable, Internet, phone, insurance, etc.), and take a deeper look. Are there areas where you can reduce costs? Inquire with your current provider or shop around for a better deal. Ditch the memberships or subscriptions that you don’t use. Day 12: Go through your banking transactions for the last month and note any fees. Can you reduce or eliminate them? Day 13: Budget challenge! Limit yourself to spending no more than $10 today. Challenge your spouse, friends or family members to do the same, and compare your results. UNDERSTAND YOUR DEBT Days 14 to 16: Add up the total amount you owe, including car loans, student loans, and mortgage and credit card balances, and note the interest rates you’re paying. Explore ways to reduce your debt and make a note to ask your advisor about strategies to manage your debt more effectively. Day 17: Order a free copy of your credit report through TransUnion (www.transunion.ca) or Equifax (www.equifax.ca). See if there’s anything you don’t recognize and report it immediately. Income and benefits Day 18: Get to know your paycheque and payroll deductions (income tax, employment insurance, pension, etc.). Find out if you can participate in an automatic savings option, group Registered Retirement Savings Plan or another savings plan in which your employer matches employee contributions. Day 19: Talk to your human resources department to review what’s included in your employee benefits package. Check that you’ve submitted all of your eligible expense claims and that they’ve been paid. Don’t forget to coordinate benefits with your spouse if you can. GET ORGANIZED Day 20: You’re just 10 days away from completing the challenge! Schedule a meeting with your advisor for next month to review your progress and discuss the next steps. Day 21: Organize your important files (receipts, insurance policies, statements, tax returns). Create or update a document that lists the location of all your financial accounts and the contact details for your advisor, lawyer and accountant. Day 22: Get and stay informed. Sign up to receive a personal finance newsletter or follow a personal finance expert on social media. SAVINGS AND INVESTMENTS Day 23: Gather your savings and investment statements. Total your investments and note their rates of return. Set these aside to review with your advisor. Days 24 to 26: Make a list of all of your savings goals - a down payment on a home, a family vacation, your children’s education and any others. Determine when you want to accomplish them, how much they will cost and how much you will need to put aside on a regular basis to be successful. Your advisor can recommend a savings plan or vehicle {for example, a Tax-Free Savings Account) to help you meet your goals and grow your savings faster.
Day 27: Budget challenge! Limit yourself to spending only cash today - no credit or debit cards. FAMILY MATTERS Day 28: Is there someone else who affects your finances, such as your partner, parent or child? It’s time to have an honest conversation about money. Find a time and place with minimal distractions and begin the dialogue by sharing how you feel about your current financial situation. Day 29: Take a moment to think about what would happen to your loved ones if you were injured or no longer around. Have you set up a will and power of attorney, or purchased life or disability insurance? These aren’t pleasant thoughts, but they are important to consider. Make a note to talk to your advisor about how to best protect those close to you. Day 30: Give yourself a pat on the back! This kind of in-depth examination of your finances is something too many Canadians put off for another day. You did it - and you’re now on your way to better financial health. You’ll also be better prepared for that upcoming conversation with your advisor, who will help you figure out the next steps towards achieving your financial goals.

NATIONAL NEWS
Opposition parties push for SNC inquiry CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Former cabinet minister Jody National Wilson-Raybould says she’s still talking to her lawyer about what she can and can’t say publicly about allegations she was pressured not to proceed with a criminal investigation of Quebec engineering giant SNC-Lavalin. Wilson-Raybould made the remarks Tuesday as she exited the suite of offices that hold both the cabinet room and the Prime Minister’s Office, just as a cabinet meeting was breaking for the day. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on his way into the House of Commons that she had asked to speak to cabinet, but he would not provide details. Wilson-Raybould wasn’t expected at the cabinet meeting because she resigned from her post as veterans affairs minister a week ago. Her resignation came several days after anonymous allegations were made to The Globe and Mail that the PMO had tried to convince her to allow SNC-Lavalin to negotiate a remediation agreement as a way to avoid the company’s criminal prosecution. The implication was that her refusal to agree led to her January demotion from the more-senior justice portfolio to veterans affairs. On Tuesday, however, she said she was still a member of the Liberal caucus.

Fire kills seven in refugee family CANADIAN PRESS
HALIFAX — Seven children, all members of a Syrian refugee family, died early Tuesday in a fast-moving Halifax house fire described as Nova Scotia’s deadliest blaze in recent memory. Their parents, identified as Ebraheim and Kawthar Barho, were in hospital on Tuesday, where Ebraheim was fighting for his life after apparently
trying in vain to save his children. Kawthar Barho was also injured, but is expected to survive. Their children ranged in age from about three months to the mid-teens. In a brief interview from the hospital, Imam Wael Haridy of the Nova Scotia Islamic Community Centre said the Barhos had fled that country’s civil war. “We’re here in hospital with
a desperate mother who lost seven of her kids,” he said, noting that officials are conducting DNA tests to confirm identities before they can proceed with a traditional Islamic burial process. “She’s saying to us, ‘Am I going to get my children back?’ ... It’s so hard. It’s so sad.” Many people from Halifax’s tight-knit Muslim community had gathered at the hospital on Tuesday morning, he said.
“People want to try to help, but how can we ... how can we provide her with anything?” said Haridy. The family is among 1,795 Syrian refugees who have settled in Nova Scotia The family arrived in Halifax in September 2017. The youngest victim of the fire, baby Abdullah, was born in Canada in November. The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.
Alberta invests $3.7B to move oil by rail EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the province is spending $3.7 billion to move landlocked oil to market by rail — and it isn’t counting on Ottawa to pitch in. “We must take action today to provide more relief to our energy workers and the families who rely on these good jobs across this province and this country,’’ she told a news conference Tuesday. “Albertans don’t just stand by. We take action.’’ Notley said the best long-term solution is for new pipeline capacity to coastal ports, which would enable Alberta crude to be sold to overseas markets and ensure the best price. Investing in rail, including leasing cars from rail lines, is a medium-term stop-gap as pipeline projects such as the Trans Mountain expansion to the West Coast remain in limbo, she said.

HOCKEY-MAD ZARY FLOURISHING FOR BLAZERS MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
S
askatoon Police Service officer Scott Zary might just be the force’s foremost expert on vandalism. His son, Connor, a 17-yearold Kamloops Blazers’ forward, is a repeat offender. “I don’t know what’s been more expensive — the house repairs or his hockey,” Scott said with a laugh. “Dad was getting tired of fixing windows. We put a net around the outdoor rink. He still somehow finds the little holes to put the puck through. Ever since he’s been three years old, he’s been on skates. “You couldn’t get him off the ice.” You still can’t. “Usually, if I’m keeping my shifts short and I’m on the bench, it’s like, ‘Come on. I don’t want to be on this bench any more,’” Connor said. “I almost get antsy. I just want to get back out there.” Added Blazers’ head coach Serge Lajoie: “I think sometimes you have to kick him out of the rink.” Connor is experiencing the brightest patch of his young career, with five goals in his last two home games, including one hat trick and two game-winners. He has 52 points in 50 games this season. “It’s nice to see him smile again,” Scott said. “I know at the start of the year he was going through some tough times and he wasn’t putting the puck in the net. We always tell him to stay humble and never quit.
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops Blazers’ forward Connor Zary celebrates with fans after scoring against the Tri-City Americans at Sandman Centre on Monday.
“Now, when he calls, you can hear it in his voice. He’s back to where he wants to be and should be. On the ice, you can see he’s happy.” Most players who reach the WHL love the game. They don’t all breathe it. Connor has lived it since he first strapped on skates. Grandpa Gary Sherdahl’s shins must have taken a beating. He would often lean on his walker during the inevitable game of ministicks. “I think that ball and stick was with Connor from Day 1,” Scott said.
Connor quickly became a student of the game. “The running joke was he could name any stick any pro hockey player used,” Scott said. “One of his friends said, ‘Hey, Connor. [Jonathan] Quick broke his goalie stick. I bet you can’t tell me …’ “Sure enough, Connor knew what kind of goalie stick he had. It blew us away. He pays attention to fine detail, just like he does on the ice.” Treyton Zary is Connor’s older brother. The boys, not older than 11 at the time,
were sitting beside each other in the back of the car when mom, Kathleen, and dad quizzed them on future career plans. “Connor says, ‘Well, I’m playing in the NHL,’” Scott recalled of the conversation. “His brother said, ‘If he’s playing in the NHL, I’ll probably be writing his cheques.’” It appears both dreams are still alive. “He got a lot of the school smarts,” Connor said of Treyton, a 19-year-old commerce student at the University of Saskatchewan.

Antons, Yamaoka return Curlers provincials-bound to Broncos; board named Jan Antons, who stepped down as vice-president and general manager of the Kamloops Broncos in October, has returned to the club. He is director of business operations for the B.C. Football Conference team. The Broncos underwent sweeping changes following an 0-10 campaign in 2018. Antons and head coach Brad Yamaoka were first to go. Longtime president Dino Bernardo joined the list of the departed in December. Joe Liberatore was named GM in November. In January, Rob Ellis began his second head coaching tenure with the club. Ellis this week told the BCFC Yamaoka will return to the sidelines in 2019 as running backs/special teams coach. The Broncos held their annual general meeting on Feb. 13 and elected their board of directors for 2019-2020. Officers include Darren Watt,
president; Mike Harrison, vicepresident; Shane Steptoe, secretary, Jim McCreight, treasurer; Tim Parker, director of football operations; Antons, director of business operations; and directors at large Gina Parker, Jim Motokado, Peter Mutrie, Darryl Chow and Dominic Diamaulo. Registration is open for the team’s spring camp in May. Sign up online at kamloopsbroncos.com.

Zary trending for 2020 NHL Draft From A19
Fortune in the form of three formidable minor hockey coaches — Curtis Camrud, Marc Chartier and Don Tyndall — helped turn Connor into the Blazers’ second-round selection in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft. Massimo Rizzo was Kamloops’ first-round pick that year. He may never play a game in blue and orange. Connor’s ascension makes that a tad easier to swallow. Connor racked up 29 points, including 11 goals, in his 16-year-old rookie campaign in 2017-2018, numbers that created high expectations for his sophomore season. A pair of Hockey Canada snubs, in the under-17 and under-18 age groups, have motivated him to excel, as did tragedy that struck last April. “Connor was touched quite a bit by the Humboldt Broncos accident,” Scott said, noting Camrud’s son, Brayden, is among the survivors. “He played hockey with a lot of them. We kept him out of school for a couple days. “That was a big eye-opener for Connor. After dealing with that, he took it upon himself to keep positive.” The six-foot, 175-pound left-shot forward can be guilty
of trying to do too much, a tendency that plagued him early in the 2018-2019 season and remains an area for improvement. Lajoie can live with that, a fixable problem borne of desire to win. There was never an issue with work ethic. “When you practise the right way and play the right way, you get rewarded,” Lajoie said. “He’s now developed an approach where it’s infectious. He brings that positive energy and that want-to-get-better attitude. “It can honestly be a foundation and a cornerstone for this program for three, four years.” A quick look at a few NHLdrafted Blazers bodes well for Connor. Brendan Ranford had 65 points, including 29 goals, in 72 games in his 17-year-old season. The Philadelphia Flyers selected him in Round 7 in 2010. Cole Ully tallied 22 goals and 50 points in 62 games in 20122013, his 17-year-old campaign. He was picked in Round 5 by the Dallas Stars. Garrett Pilon was in his 17-year-old season when he notched 47 points, including 15 goals, in 2015-2016. The Saskatoon product was drafted by the Washington Capitals in
Round 3 in 2016. Connor has surpassed Ully and Pilon’s point totals and is on pace to eclipse Ranford. Born on Sept. 21, 2001, the Blazers’ prospect and Toronto Maple Leafs’ fan is not eligible for the NHL Draft until 2020. He considers his late birthday an advantage, giving him another year to become bigger, faster and stronger. Scott, who instilled his love for the Leafs in Connor, had a message for his son. “I told Connor if there’s any chance that he ever gets drafted, which is a lot of work ahead of him, if it isn’t with the Maple Leafs, I’m not sure he’ll be allowed in the house,” Scott said. Keeping him outside may be easier said than done. There are holes in walls and windows. “Even before I had a game, I’d be on the outdoor rink,” Connor said. “When I came home from games, I’d be on the outdoor rink. “I just fell in love with the game.” BACK IN ACTION The Blazers topped the TriCity Americans 3-1 on Monday. Kamloops will play host to the Prince George Cougars on Friday. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre.

Rosa Maria Giuseppa Iadarola (Borrelli)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce that Rosa Maria Giuseppa Iadarola (Borrelli) passed from this world to the next on February 16, 2019 with her loving family by her side. Rosa was predeceased by her loving husband of 59 years Antonio Iadarola. Rosa is survived by her children Osvaldo “Ozzie” (Darlene) Iadarola, Maria (Russell) Cundari and her grandchildren Nicholas (Vicky) Iadarola, Laura (Kinji) Bourchier, Daniel Iadarola, Nick (Sandra) Cundari, Jenny Cundari and Andrew Iadarola. She was also blessed with five great-grandchildren Celine and David Bourchier, Willow and Autumn Iadarola and Leo Cundari. Rosa is survived by her sisters Rita Capobianco and Maria Corbo, her brother Michele Borrelli, as well as her many nieces and nephews. Rosa was predeceased by her parents Faustina and Pellegrino Borrelli and her siblings Antoinetta Gasdia, Pasqualina Sale, Carmela Ciarlo and Nicola Borrelli. Rosa was born on March 11, 1934 in Fragneto Monforte, Benevento, Italy. She grew up on an Italian farm where her parents raised animals
and grew crops including wheat, tobacco, corn, olives and vegetables of all kinds in the sunny climate of the Campania region of southern Italy. It was on her parent’s farm where she met a young worker Antonio, who would one day win her heart. Antonio left Italy to seek a better life in Canada with the CPR, and would write love letters to Rosa, eventually asking for her hand in marriage by mail. They were married by proxy on August 30, 1953, Antonio in Canada and Rosa still in Italy. After waiting a year in Italy, Rosa departed Naples on June 4, 1954 on the S.S. Roma for a 10 day transatlantic sailing to Halifax. Her husband Tony met her at the pier and they travelled together by rail across the country to Albert Canyon, BC, a remote hamlet just outside of Revelstoke. Rosa would always say that the mountains were so high that when she felt homesick she thought she could climb to the top of one to see back home to Italy. In the following years, she gave birth to her two children Osvaldo and Maria. In Albert Canyon, she would begin to raise her new family and make many lifelong friendships. In 1957, Rosa and her new family moved to Kamloops. She worked hard at the Kamloops Tomato Cannery and at Women’s Bakery where she learned many of her numerous baking skills. She used her skills to acquire a job at Woodward’s as a cake decorator, where she would work for over 40 years. She decorated thousands of cakes at Woodward’s including one that would win her a medal in a royal wedding cake contest for Princess Diana and Prince Charles. When she wasn’t decorating cakes, Rosa was behind the counter at Tony’s International Supermarket on Tranquille Road - the Italian grocery store her husband started in 1963. Tony’s Market was not only their business,

When Osvaldo and Maria were not busy at school they would help their mom and dad at the store. On weekends she would entertain and cook for family and friends, often at their Paul Lake cabin. Rosa eventually retired to her home overlooking the Thompson River where she would cook delicious feasts for her family and grandchildren almost every Sunday and holiday. Outside she maintained beautiful flower beds and a bountiful garden. The smell of freshly baked bread and Italian delicacies always filled the air of her warm inviting home. Her mind was an encyclopedia of delicious old country cooking and she never needed to reach for a recipe. Rosa loved nothing more than to visit with her family and her door was always open. Everyone knew to arrive with an empty stomach as her food was authentic, unmatched and she would never let you go without eating. She was fortunate to meet five of her great-grandchildren, who brought her a final joy to her life. Her whole family loved her so much and will miss her dearly. The Funeral Mass will be celebrated at Sacred Heart Cathedral on Saturday, February 23, 2019, at 11:00 am. A Family Entombment will follow at Sage Valley Mausoleum.

Teenage years in St. Albert where especially happy ones for Trudy as she attended Paul Kane School and sang with a Christian Youth Choir called “Sing-Out St. Albert!” In 1971, new job opportunities for Trudy’s father saw the Nymeyer family move to Kamloops, BC where Trudy attended Kamloops Senior Secondary School and soon met the love of her life, a young man named Stephen Haughland.

During this time, Trudy also began her involvement in what would become the other love of her life – the Girl Guide movement. In 1985, the end of her husband’s employment and his acceptance into the Ministry Degree Program at Knox College saw the Haughland’s move from Victoria to Toronto, Ontario. Residing first in the suburb of Scarborough and then in Brampton, Trudy worked in daycare and then as a computer secretary at a high school in Mississauga. Trudy also continued her involvement in Girl Guides with positions of leadership and responsibility at various levels.

OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana
Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.

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!
The English language has approximately 144,000 distinct syllables. Some languages have far fewer. For example, Japanese has less than 1,000. Many of these syllables are words in their own right. Come up with 16 syllables that are English words. The words should be of the form 0 to 3 consonants, followed by a vowel, followed by 0 to 3 consonants. The 16 words should be one each of the combinations of number of consonants at the beginning and at the end. (Note: This goes according to pronunciation, not spelling. For example, “stow” has two consonants at the beginning and zero at the end, while “chair” has one consonant at the beginning (as “ch” is not a C sound followed by an H sound, but is just one sound) and one consonant at the end.)
