Chris Walton with daughter Micaela at the Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children in Vancouver. The 10-year-old is recovering from carbon monoxide poisoning following an incident in a tent while camping at Sandy Point Beach in the Shuswap on the Victoria Day long weekend. Micaela’s mom, Lucille Beaurain, died after the tent filled with CO after a stove was used to heat the inside of the tent.

MICAELA’S ON THE MEND

MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops girl hospitalized after being overcome with carbon monoxide during a camping trip continues to recover and may be able to soon return home. Lucille Beaurain died and daughter Micaela Walton, 10, was rushed to B.C. Children’s Hospital in Vancouver after the pair was overcome with carbon monoxide on May 18 while sleeping in their tent at the Sandy Point Beach campground in the Shuswap.

Mounties said a cooking pot used as a source of heat is believed to have been the source of the carbon monoxide poisoning. The pre-teen is now at Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children in Vancouver, where she is undergoing physiotherapy. This was preceded by a harrowing few days in the intensive-care unit and a stay in the children’s ward. “She was basically on life support for three days,” said Micaela’s father, Chris Walton, who has been by her side since the incident.

As expected, the federal Liberal government is giving the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion a second lease on life. On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced approval of the project and said work will begin this construction season. The decision to reapprove the project comes nine months after the Federal Court of Appeal ripped up the original federal approval, citing incomplete Indigenous consultations and a faulty environmental review. Trudeau said the court told the government it needed to do better. “And you know what?” Trudeau said. “They were right.” The Liberals

Former Tk’emlups chief Shane Gottfriedson is part of an Indigenous group determined to buy a majority stake in Trans Mountain. STORY, PAGE A22 ordered the National Energy Board to look at marine shipping impacts and Natural Resources Minister Amarjeet Sohi started another round of consultations with Indigenous communities affected by the project. KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod was not surprised by the decision, but doubted the government’s ability to get shovels in the ground. “I’m not all that optimistic that this government can get

it done,” McLeod told KTW. She said there remain hurdles for Trudeau’s government to overcome and doubted his commitment, but said if construction can get underway, the project would be a boon to the region. “For the North Thompson especially, with the closure of Canfor in Vavenby, this is a potential lifeline for the construction season if it goes ahead,” she said.

Micaela Walton’s mom, Lucille Beaurain, died of carbon monoxide poisoning on May 18.

Micaela may come home at end of July From A1

Each day has been emotional and sometimes there are setbacks in his daughter’s recovery, Walton said. “It’s really up and down right now,” he said. Micaela is working on motor skills, such as brushing her teeth and getting dressed, as well as building back her strength, having been bedridden for weeks, Walton told KTW. Walton said his daughter did sustain brain damage, but the extent is not known. “From what I’ve seen so far, it doesn’t look like it’s going to be severe,” he said. “She basically has a slower reaction time to everything right now.” Walton said Micaela also has difficulty with her short-term memory. He said his daughter’s speech and reading abilities are still there, but noted she struggles with her co-ordination, doesn’t have any feeling in her right foot and will sometimes start snapping her fingers without realizing it. Micaela is able to lift herself up and take a few steps with a walker, but cannot walk yet without assistance, he said. The end of July is the rough estimate for when Micaela will be released from hospital. “My main thing is just making sure she’s good and just being here for here, keeping her spirits up and getting her home and trying to get back to normal,” Walton said.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

FETCHING A NEW FURRY FRIEND

Kamloops city council has whittled down a list of options for long-term biosolids management and included land application, a method that has received opposition in the region. On Tuesday during a committee of the whole meeting, city staff presented council with the top options, based on work completed by a working group of myriad stakeholders. Recommended options thus far include: windrow composting, liquid fertilizer production, thermal drying for sale as hog fuel, in-vessel composting and high-rate biomass production. Land application was excluded and listed as the sixthbest option. However, Coun. Arjun Singh suggested the city not yet take it off the table, noting most of the province still uses that method and due to uncertainty with provincial regulations, which are undergoing review and are expected next spring. “I know that it’s a very, very emotional, very, very difficult issue,” Singh told KTW, noting he would hate to have to put it back on the table at a

later date. “I can say I’ve had very horrible blowback on it in the past, but ultimately we have to look at all the options in a really thoughtful way, and I think it’s too early to cut that out.” Council agreed, voting 8-1 to send the six options to the next steps, including presentations to Tk’emlups te Secwepemc and the ThompsonNicola Regional District and a report to council with an implementation plan slated for fall of 2019. Coun. Denis Walsh was opposed. He said he cannot reconcile choosing technologies before understanding the costs. “How do you make a determination without knowing what the cost will be?” Walsh asked. Costs are yet to be determined, but city staff have told KTW some of the options could require significant capital investment, with land application being among the cheaper options. The other options, explained simply: • windrow composting, which is open-air composting in windrows to create a retail-grade product; • liquid fertilizer production, which is creating a liquid fertilizer as per the Canadian Food

Inspection Agency to be used on food crops; • thermal drying, which is reducing as much moisture as possible from biosolids by drying to reduce the amount and produce product for fuel; • vessel composting, which is composting in a closed container. Whistler has a facility like it and it could include curb-side organics, producing a class A compost; • high-rate biomass production, which is using biosolids to grow trees quickly and using those trees for wood chips or other reasons. Mayor Ken Christian said high-rate biomass production could work in conjunction with a community forest in efforts to suppress the city’s fire risk. As for short-term options, the city continues to work on a plan to proceed with hauling via Arrow Transportation its stockpiled biosolids into the Turtle Valley. Residents and First Nations have previously set up blockades to deny access to the Turtle Valley Bison Ranch. The city is planning to meet with Arrow to discuss next steps after the B.C. Supreme Court ruled against an injunction application by area residents seeking to stop the project.

Tk’emlups chief says more dialogue needed From A1

Tk’emlups te Secwepemc Chief Rosanne Casimir told KTW she didn’t see a lot of meaningful dialogue in this latest round of consultations and remains concerned about cultural heritage sites in the region, such as Pipsell in

the Jacko Lake area. “There are still many issues that need to be considered to protect many areas within our traditional territory,” she said. Casimir said she looks forward to the ongoing dialogue with Canada to address concerns about the pipeline’s route.

In terms of rifts within the Tk’emlups community, such as opposition voiced by groups like the Tiny House Warriors, Casimir said there will always be those on either side of the issue. “Not everyone is going to support everything. We all have our reasons and our values that we stand behind,” she said. Tk’emlups has a $3-million community benefits agreement with Trans Mountain. Terry Lake, who was recently acclaimed as the local Liberal candidate in the October federal election, said he has always been a proponent of the pipeline. “It’s part of a comprehensive climate action plan that includes a cap on oilsands emissions and the carbon tax,” he said. Lake said the idea behind the approval is that it will allow for a transition to a lowcarbon economy. “I think this is a good transition toward a low-carbon economy that doesn’t strain resources for the Thompson Valley, particularly the North Thompson. There couldn’t be a better time for this announcement to come through,” he said. Kamloops lawyer and local federal Green candidate Iain Currie was disappointed, but not surprised to hear the pipeline was approved. He believes the government should take the billions it will spend building the pipeline and invest it in green energy. “What the Greens and environmentalists and many Indigenous groups are saying is that the choice is between the expansion of oil production and the environment,” Currie said. “Many more tonnes of carbon in the atmosphere because of the expansion of oil production in Canada is directly contrary to the stated goals of the Trudeau government

to meet its emission targets.” Shane Gottfriedson, former Tk’emlups te Secwepemc chief and B.C. director for Project Reconciliation, an Indigenous group looking to buy a majority stake in the expansion project, said it’s exciting times now that the pipeline has been approved. “We’ve got to find out what the next steps are and the process for our next engagement with Canada,” Gottfriedson said. “I think if Canada said tomorrow they’re going to be open for offers amongst First Nations, we’re ready to go.” Gottfriedson said the purchase would be a step toward economic sovereignty for First Nations people. Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Joshua Knaak described the news as “terrific” for all of Western Canada and is confident the conditions imposed on the project will be met as the government owns the pipeline. “As one of the major staging areas, there are a lot of businesses in town that were counting on this, ranging from hospitality to the service industry to pipeline support-type companies,” Knaak said. Meanwhile, the Tiny House Warriors released a statement, maintaining the pipeline expansion will never be completed on Secwepemc land, which includes 50 per cent of the proposed pipeline route. The Tiny House Warriors are a group of Secwepemc members opposed to the pipeline expansion project. They are now based near Blue River, where they are building tiny houses that they plan to place in the path of the pipeline expansion. “The Trudeau government does not have the right to put a pipeline through unceded Secwepemc land,” said Kanahus Manuel, a spokesperson for the Tiny House Warriors.

Landscaper bidding for change

BUT CITY SAYS SUCH A POLICY WOULD LEAD TO BOTTLENECK IN PROJECTS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops landscaper is calling for changes to the city’s procurement process. Pierre Filisetti, owner of Abacus Gardening and Landscaping, said the city could save money and boost small business if it required bidding for all of its contracts. “Open it up, have a larger pool of capable contractors,” Filisetti told KTW. Generally speaking, city contracts worth $75,000 or more are posted on BC Bid — an online procurement website that allows businesses to compete for public contracts. Contracts worth between $25,000 and $75,000 undergo an informal three-bid system, wherein city procurement staff work with city departments to invite a minimum of three vendors (usually including contractors the city has worked with in the past) to bid on a project. Finally, contracts worth less than $25,000 are not required to go to bid at all. Instead, the city relies on city departments to help make those decisions. City procurement manager David Hallinan said the city balances marketplace engagement and efficiency. The process to put contracts to tender via BC Bid, for example, takes two to three weeks before going to market. The city has a small procurement team of six and Hallinan noted contracts worth less than $25,000 are considered low risk. For perspective, the city last year procured $27.2 million worth of contracts. “It would create a bottleneck,” Hallinan

PIERRE FILISETTI

said of requiring bidding on every project. “It would create a backlog in order for us to get things done, where we need external services.” But for companies like Filisetti’s, without capacity to win large contracts, he is concerned about fair opportunity. Hallinan said the city has a list of vendors that have reached out to city staff. Those firms are invited to meet with the city. Asked if smaller companies are excluded from small contracts if staff have not worked with them in the past, Hallinan said: “I don’t think so. I think that part of being a business owner is also the ability to sell your services.” City corporate services director Kathy Humphrey further explained that quite often the city still puts small contracts to bid. She noted contracts are awarded based

on “best value,” not only best price. She said rules are based on provincial guidelines, including trade treaties such as the North West Partnership Trade Agreement between B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan, designed to open up provincial markets. Additionally, Humphrey said, for services like landscaping, the city puts out bids for long-term contracts that prevent it from having to go back to vendors for smaller projects, taking up both city and vendor time. “As you can imagine, we do a lot of landscaping work,” Humphrey said. In 2018, the city procured 67 landscaping contracts. Of those contracts, 27 were valued at less than $25,000. Meanwhile, 14 contracts were valued between $25,000 and $75,000 and 26 contracts were worth more than $75,000. The civic operations department had the highest procurement activities, at 73 per cent, followed by community and protective services at 14 per cent and development, engineering and sustainability at nine per cent. Some companies, such as B A Dawson Blacktop and Acres Enterprises, have repeatedly worked work with the city, though securing contracts is not guaranteed. “There are some vendors that are successful repeatedly, but there is not a guarantee,” Hallinan said, noting the city cannot cherry pick favourites. “I believe our electrical supplier changed in the last year or two,” he said. “It was Houle Electric and now it became Westcana now. There is change within the marketplace.”

ACTION NEEDED ON PHARMACARE PLAN

t’s time for action. Actually it’s past time. For years, politicians have batted around the idea of a national pharmacare plan to replace the patchwork of uneven coverage Canadians have now. Coverage is different in every province, with drugs covered or not covered depending on where you live. This can be a big problem for people with a variety of conditions should they want to, or need to, move from one province to another. And with every jurisdiction negotiating prices individually, we all pay a lot more — though in their last budget, the federal Liberals pledged to create an agency to buy drugs in bulk to help cut medication costs. A new report, A Prescription for Canada: Achieving Pharmacare for All, recommends the move to a universal, single-payer, public system. The expert panel behind the report estimates a universal system will save approximately $5 billion, or about $350 per person per year. The report also calls for a basic plan for essential medications by 2022 and a comprehensive list by 2027. Here’s where it gets sticky. Three years until we see even a basic plan? And eight years until a full plan? Sounds like we’re just putting off doing anything so we can find some way to talk ourselves out of it, yet again. And that’s only if the government accepts the findings of the panel and moves to implement them. Whenever we hear about governments kicking anything this far down the road, we get skeptical that it will ever come to pass. All too often governments are short-sighted (as in, they can’t see past the next election) and their ability to stick with a long-term project, even if the same political party remains in power, is dicey. While it’s good to have this new report (even if it does tell us what we already knew), we’ll believe it when we see action. — Black Press

Off to great places! “You’re off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, so ... get on your way!” — Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You’ll Go! attend graduation ceremonies with a mix of pride and nostalgia. As students, my wife and I both gathered on McArthur Island with our friends and family to celebrate this lifetime milestone. When I attend a ceremony now, I think about my deceased parents and the love and support they gave me on my educational journey. I remember wondering if I was really ready for the next step in my life and what exactly that next step would be. Daniela and I have now seen our own children celebrate this achievement in the same place as us. It’s a wonderful time of hope and excitement. Take a moment to savour and celebrate each student’s success. A high school education is an achievement that positively affects the rest of your life. I’ve met many successful and capable people who never had the opportunity or perhaps inclination to finish high school. Without exception, these people encourage students to pursue education because of the opportunity further training represents. People with high school educations tend to earn more, live longer and are generally happier than those who don’t reach this milestone. As a school trustee, I hope graduating students take the time

to encourage their friends to get to this important benchmark. Every student is welcome to return to complete high school or gain the equivalent at a local institution, such as TRU. While students should take some pride in their successful completion of a public education, a modern economy will likely demand more training and skills than is attainable by Grade 12. This means that graduation is both a time for celebration and an opportunity to map out the next steps on your educational journey. While making a presentation at a high school law class, a student said to me, “So, if I go in to be a lawyer, I won’t finish until I’m 25?” The tone in her voice implied that the age of 25 was some unfathomable march through time far too distant to contemplate. I replied that I had a news flash for her: she was going to be 25. The only thing for her to decide is what she was going to be when she was 25. This is a great thinking exercise for any new graduate;

what do you want the 25-year-old you to be and what is your plan to achieve that? Graduating students in this region have a wide range of opportunities to choose from and their most important step is likely right in front of them. There are challenging and rewarding careers in trades and technology, with many programs offered locally. I was lucky enough to attend Cariboo College, which enabled me to complete the first two years of my undergraduate degree right here in Kamloops. Leaving town to go to university was just not a financial option that I or my parents could afford. Today, students can pursue full degrees in a wide range of academic subjects and even carry through to law school right here at TRU. As one journey ends, another one begins. Congratulations to all our graduates. You’ve made great strides, but there is much more ahead for you. This is the time in your life to invest in yourself, build your skills and attain your aspirations. You’ll climb the next mountain like you conquer any challenge — one step at a time.

OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

CYCLISTS SPEAK OUT

The Kamloops Film Society is now running the Paramount Theatre downtown. A soft opening last weekend saw about 350 people attend three films screened. For more on the theatre and the society, go online to thekfs.ca. DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE

The June 12 edition of KTW included a letter from Pierce Graham on cycling habits on Westsyde Road (‘Cyclists need to learn all the rules of the road’). Some cyclists read the letter and have responded. Some of their replies are below and more can be found online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Opinion tab. Editor: I might be one of the bike riders admonished in the letter. The reason bike riders choose to ride on the main part of the road is simply because the city does not seal-coat the bike path as it does the main road. The bike path is a washboard. It is legal for all wheeled vehicles to use the main road. Fixing the bike path would go a long way toward having cyclists use it. Julian Stodola Kamloops Editor: I agree that all cyclists need to learn all the rules of the road. Any driver of a motor vehicle who has a licence and uses our road system must follow rules that are there so everyone can use our roads safely. These rules are contained the Motor Vehicle Act of B.C. Included in this legislation are the rules for cyclists, rules that state which highways, bridges, etc., a cyclist can use, as well a rules for helmet use, signalling a turn and riding on roads. Yes, cyclists are allowed to ride on roads — legally. I ride on the roads and I follow the rules. I would suggest that if all the cyclists and other drivers

learned and adhered to the rules of the road, we would have fewer problems. Stephen Karpuk Kamloops Editor: From the letter, I assume that the rider was on the roadway when Graham came up behind him and tried to pass without changing lanes. If one is to read the Motor Vehicle Act, it clearly states that those riding bicycles have “... the same rights and duties as a driver of a vehicle.” In short, same road, same rules, same rights. It was Graham who was at fault as he tried to pass a cyclist who appeared to be following the rules of the road. I assume Graham wouldn’t try to pass a car in the same lane occupied by said car, so he shouldn’t being trying to pass a cyclist who is occupying a lane unless it is safe to do so. I think the lesson here is that we share the same roads, so drivers and cyclists must both learn, and follow, the rules. For the record, we dress like we’re in the Tour de France for our safety and comfort, not to be ridiculed by those who don’t cycle. Dennis Hayes Kamloops

SUPPORT PARAMOUNT THEATRE Editor: Were you among those relieved to hear the Paramount theatre had been saved from oblivion? If you live downtown, you were saved from the loss of a theatre you can walk to and from. If you live out of downtown, you were saved from movie choices limited to mainstream productions. Thanks to the generosity of the Fawcett family — who give so much to this town — and the spirit and commitment of the Kamloops Film Society, our downtown theatre and range of movies will continue. The Fawcetts have done their part and the film society is doing its part. Now it is time for all of us to do our part.

You may not be in the habit of regularly checking Paramount listings. You may not be in the habit of turning to the Paramount for an evening’s entertainment. But you had better get in the habit now because it is only by you, your family and your friends — drag them along — paying to see the wonderful movies on offer that this will continue to be available. We are seeing that we are capable of changing our habits around recycling. Some of us are changing our commuting habits. So we are more than ever aware that we are capable of changing our habits. Getting to the Paramount is a new habit to develop. By doing so,

we protect the life of a city asset we can boast about, take visitors to and keep enjoying. I do not have a financial stake in the Paramount. I live downtown, have given up my car and adore movies — movies on a big screen, movies in a theatre, interesting movies.

Largest field ever in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

The field appears to be set, with six challengers vying to be the member of Parliament from KamloopsThompson-Cariboo in Canada’s 43rd federal election, which will be held on Oct. 21. Incumbent Conservative MP Cathy McLeod is seeking her fourth term, noting unfinished business for her, including the building of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and continued work on First Nations files, as she is her party’s Indigenous Affairs critic. Looking to unseat the longstanding MP is political heavyweight Terry Lake, who, after months of speculation, was acclaimed as the federal Liberal candidate. The former Kamloops mayor and B.C. minister of health said he chose to enter the race because he feels

there’s more work to be done combatting the opioid crisis. He said he also wants to help maintain the progress he has seen the Liberal government make in areas such as climate change, Indigenous reconciliation and the economy. Care-aide worker Gina MyhillJones, who is from the 100 Mile House area, was acclaimed by the New Democratic Party. She said too many people have been left behind and ignored by the Conservatives and the Liberals, opining that Canadians need a government that is fair, transparent and honest. Kamloops lawyer Iain Currie, who has worked on a number of prominent homicide cases, was acclaimed as the Green candidate. He said environmental issues spurred him to enter the race. Maxime Bernier’s fledging People’s Party of Canada acclaimed

Lac la Hache rancher Ken Finlayson as its candidate. Finlayson cited “division, uncertainty and suffocating government regulations” as factors in his decision to run as the PPC candidate, noting he agrees with the party’s policies. Kamloops resident Peter Kerek was acclaimed the Communist Party of Canada’s candidate. Kerek, a school bus driver in Kamloops, said he decided to run because the other parties support capitalism and believes there needs to be opposition to the capitalist system. Both men have past political experience — Finlayson ran as an independent candidate in the Saskatchewan riding of BattlefordsLloydminster in a 2017 byelection and Kerek was the Kamloops-North Thompson Communist candidate in the 2017 provincial election. The six candidates make it the

largest field of candidates vying for the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo seat since the riding was created in 2004 from boundary changes among adjacent constituencies. The election campaign can begin as early as 50 days and as late as 26 days ahead of the election, which means the writ will drop between Sept. 1 to 15. To vote in a federal election, a person must be registered on the list of electors. People can register at the polls when they go to vote, but if registered in advance, they will receive a voter information card in the mail when the federal election is called. The voter information card explains when, where and the ways to vote. To check if they are registered or to update address information, residents can go online to https://ereg. elections.ca/CWelcome.aspx?lang=e. The Liberals hold a majority government with 177 MPs among the

country’s 338 ridings. The Conservatives are the official opposition with 97 seats in Parliament. The New Democrats are third with 41 seats. The Bloc Quebecois has 10 seats, while the Greens have two seats. People’s Party Leader Bernier holds one seat, the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation has one seat, seven seats are held by independents and two seats are vacant. In the 2015 federal election, McLeod withstood strong campaigns from NDP candidate Bill Sundhu and Liberal candidate Steve Powrie en route to being re-elected. McLeod received 24,595 votes (35 per cent), compared to Sundhu’s 21,466 (31 per cent) and Powrie’s 21,215 (30 per cent). Voter turnout was 73 per cent, with 70,000 of the eligible 95,000 voters casting ballots in the riding. KTW will have more coverage on the candidates this summer.

Despite diesel use, Singh says Manor a success CITY COUNCILLOR SAID GLITCHES ARE TO BE EXPECTED WHEN HOUSING IS SET UP IN RAPID FASHION Mission Flats Manor, a supportive housing project on Mission Flats Road, is expected to have its 55 living units connected to the BC Hydro power grid this month. A diesel generator has been powering the living units since last fall at a cost of $158,000 through April. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops councillor said the use of a diesel generator to power the Mission Flats Manor supportive housing project is not ideal. However, Arjun Singh added, the project is addressing a need in the city by housing 55 people. Singh is known for pushing environmental issues at city hall. Last month, he told the city’s development, engineering and sustainability committee that the city was failing to meet targets outlined in the Sustainable Kamloops Plan, which he blamed on being insufficiently resourced. The diesel generator, which emits carbon dioxide (greenhouse gas emissions), has been providing power to the former work camp on Mission Flats Road since November.

“This is something no one wanted to happen, but it did happen,” Singh said. He said the diesel generator contributes a relatively small portion of the city’s overall greenhouse gas

emissions and called the housing project “a massive win for the community.” Singh said glitches are to be expected, given the speed at which the project came together.

Meanwhile, he said he is happy to hear the living units will be connected to the BC Hydro power grid within a couple of weeks. Mission Flats Manor was built by the

province and city (with the city leasing the land to Victoria for $1 per year). BC Housing is covering day-to-day costs and ASK Wellness is in charge of operating the living units. BC Housing spokes-

person Tracy Wells said from October 2018 to end of this past April, BC Housing paid approximately $158,047 in diesel costs to operate Mission Flats Manor. Residents moved in

on Nov. 12, 2018. “Preparations for BC Hydro power to the building were stalled due to cold weather conditions which froze the ground, making hookup inaccessible for crews,” Wells said. “Because there was an immediate need to house individuals, all partners agreed to open the housing in November 2018 and use a generator to power the building. Hydro preparations had to wait until this spring once the ground thawed.” Hughes said the former workforce camp went from concept to delivery at an “incredibly rapid pace” of 11 weeks.

Be careful in fire season Kamloops Coun. Arjun Singh is reminding residents to be careful as the wildfire risk increases. Last week, category 2 and category 3 open fires were restricted in the Kamloops Fire Centre to prevent human-caused wildfires. Fire danger ratings in the area, which covers south central B.C. from Blue River to the U.S. border, range from moderate to extreme. Singh advised residents to take into consideration any activity that could cause a spark, flame or smouldering. Smokers should snuff out butts with water and recreational vehicle enthusiasts should avoid the backcountry, he said. “The Elephant Hill fire was human caused,” Singh said. “It just breaks my heart to think it could have been avoided.” Last week, Singh attended a meeting on emergency management via his role as president of the Union of BC Municipalities. He noted that after two bad fire seasons, the situation will not get any easier as drought conditions across the province increase. “People have to be very, very, very vigilant,” Singh said. “Very careful. We’re in a situation where one mistake could put a lot of things in jeopardy.” Those who contravene the fire ban may receive a ticket for $1,150. A court could hold someone liable for up to $100,000. If a wildfire occurs, the responsible person could be required to pay all firefighting and associated costs. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or violation, call 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 on a cellphone.

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! On February 12, 2019, Government announced its intention to modernize the Royal BC Museum to protect its historic holdings and provide better access to its collections for everyone in BC.

Kamloops welcomes its first street art dumpster JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The City of Kamloops has taken a creative approach to a problematic dumpster behind Memorial Arena downtown. A yellow dumpster, which has been tagged with graffiti on numerous occasions, has been transformed into the city’s first so-called street art dumpster. “We were constantly needing to go back there and paint it yel-

low,” City streets and environmental services manager Glen Farrow told KTW. Farrow said the city hired someone to create the art, noting certain locations in the city would benefit from a street art dumpster. He hopes it will curb those who feel the world is their canvas.

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District has rejected a $250,000 funding request from Thompson Rivers University for a student endowment. University brass were at a recent TNRD board meeting making a pitch on behalf of its Limitless campaign, a $50-million fundraising initiative. The $250,000 from the regional district was to be doled out through 10 annual awards worth $1,000 over a 25-year period, according to TRU’s proposal. Students based in the TNRD would receive the awards from TRU, where 75 per cent of high school grads from the regional district who attend B.C. post-secondary school have enrolled between 2013 and 2017, according to the university. TNRD staff proposed two funding options: $50,000 contributions annually for five years through general administration service property taxes or $250,000 in a one-time lump sum from reserves.

Staff recommended the fiveyear option, which would give the board a chance to evaluate the funding source annually. However, the board did not have an appetite to hand over regional tax dollars to the university. TNRD Area J director (Copper Desert Country) Ronaye Elliott introduced a motion against the funding request. She told KTW education funding should come from the province. “I don’t see any reason for this board to put money into TRU,” she told the board while making her motion. “They have mega amounts of money and they have mega amounts of support.” Thompson Rivers University is expecting revenues of $233 million in 2019-2020, an amount that has grown due to a surging number of international students. The university approved its budget in March, a budget that has a a surplus of more than $14 million. Clearwater Mayor Merlin Blackwell was also opposed to the university’s funding request. “It’s been a long feeling in our community that TRU has been

neglecting its commitment to rural education,” Blackwell said. “They’ve been dropping the ball on that, reducing services for quite a few years now.” Kamloops Mayor Ken Christian said $250,000 is a significant request and noted 65 per cent of that funding would come from Kamloops taxpayers — about $160,000 — which he could not stomach. He suggested the money could be better used to invest in sidewalks around campus or the much-discussed overpass over Summit Drive. “We should not be philanthropic with other people’s tax money,” he said. Merritt Mayor Linda Brown, meanwhile, spoke in favour of TRU’s funding request, noting the money would be geared at TNRD students and not be used for the university’s operating costs. Kamloops Coun. Kathy Sinclair suggested the TNRD provide a smaller bursary on behalf of the regional district. The board voted to deny the funding request, with only Brown in favour of TRU’s proposal.

Search continues for missing Kamloops man AS OF KTW PRESS DEADLINE ON TUESDAY, LORNE HAMER-JACKSON HAD STILL NOT BEEN FOUND michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Lorne Hamer-Jackson was last seen on June 15. As of Tuesday afternoon, the search for him continued.

Kamloops Mounties continue to seek the public’s help in finding a missing Brocklehurst resident. Lorne Hamer-Jackson has not been seen since June 15 and has not been in contact with his family, who are asking the public to keep an eye out for the black 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt he is believed to be driving — licence plate PBJ 430. His niece, Jaclyn Frilund, said Hamer-Jackson was last seen at about 9 p.m. Saturday when his brother and sister-in-law stopped in at his Happyvale Avenue home to check in on him at the request of his wife, Fran, who was not home at the time. Frilund said Hamer-Jackson has mental-health issues for which he takes medication. Frilund said when Fran spoke to Hamer-Jackson over the phone at about 7 p.m. on

Frilund said Hamer-Jackson’s daughter went to his house on Father’s Day Sunday at about 11 a.m. after he didn’t answer phone calls from family members. “He wasn’t home and the car was gone,” Frilund said, adding that neighbours noticed some lights on in the house at about 6 a.m. that aren’t usually on at that time. He had left his cell phone behind and didn’t have his wallet with him either. Frilund said her uncle doesn’t leave the house often, making his disappearance immediately worrisome to the family. “Usually he’ll call my aunt and check in no matter how he’s feeling,” Frilund said. “This is quite out of behaviour. He doesn’t ever leave for hours, let alone days.” Frilund said she does not know

Saturday, he wasn’t making sense, prompting her to ask family members to check in on him. “He didn’t seem to be off to them, but who knows how he was really feeling,” Frilund said. There was about a 14-hour window from the time Hamer-Jackson was last seen to when he was reported missing.

how far her uncle could have travelled as his vehicle had no more than half tank of gas in it. The family is looking for him in areas around Kamloops that hold nostalgic feelings for the Kamloops resident of 40 years. Frilund said Hamer-Jackson used to take walks around McArthur Island and also made trips out to East Barriere Lake and Knouff Lake. As a child, he used to live at Tranquille Farms. “He could be a block away, he could be in a different province, we just don’t know,” she said. The family is asking for any surveillance footage residents living on nearby Desmond, Holt and Singh streets may have from the weekend. “We really want to nail down what time he left and what direction he was going — even areas of Tranquille Road, if anybody has video surveillance we’d really appreciate them taking a look at it to see if they can see that black

Chevy Cobalt,” Frilund said. Hamer-Jackson worked as a sales associate for Smith Chevrolet, but has been on leave for a number of years. Hamer-Jackson is white, 57 years old, stands 5-foot-7 and weighs 225 pounds. He has grey and sandy brown hair and green eyes. Frilund said searches were conducted all over Kamloops on Monday and in Tuesday the family focussed on East Barriere Lake, Shuswap Lake and Adams Lake. Many members of the public have been aiding the family in its search, Frilund said, something she described as being very meaningful to the family. “We’ve had people reaching out from all over the place and helping in any way they can,” she said, estimating there are about 40 or 50 people co-ordinating searches. Anybody with information is asked to call police at 250-828-3000.

TNRD to Canfor: Leave legacy after mill closes JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The ThompsonNicola Regional District will request Canfor leave land, money or another legacy to the small North Thompson community of Vavenby, following news the company will permanently close its mill — the area’s main employer — in July. Carol Schaffer, the TNRD director for Area A (Wells Gray Country), said discussions are ongoing with

the company. “I feel they need to leave something behind saying, ‘We were there’ and to say they appreciate Vavenby for all the time they were there,” she said. Schaffer said when Weyerhaeuser shut down in the area, the company left $250,000 in a foundation, with the interest to be invested in community. Asked if Canfor has given any indication it will leave some type of legacy to Vavenby, Schaffer said the compa-

ny, at a recent meeting, said it would look into the idea. “We’re going to have to have another meeting,” she said. Schaffer made a motion at Thursday’s TNRD board meeting, which was supported by the board, to allow staff to negotiation with Canfor alongside Schaffer. Schaffer said the community has had to endure years of truck traffic, dust and railroad crossing changes in light of the mill’s presence

in the community of 700 about 90 minutes north of Kamloops on Highway 5. Canfor cited current and long-term log supply constraints and the high cost of fibre as reasons for the decision to close the sawmill, which will leave 178 people without jobs. Canfor also wants to sell its timber rights in the area to Interfor Corp. for $60 million, though that transaction requires the approval of Forests Minister Doug Donaldson. Complicating matters is

City sticks with Tuesday afternoon council meetings MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops council has decided to stick with its meeting start times — 1:30 p.m. on Tuesdays. During a committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, the idea for afternoon and/ or evening start times was quashed. Coun. Dale Bass had suggested a pilot project that would have seen 6 p.m. city council meetings on select days throughout the remainder of the year. Councillors Bass, Arjun Singh, Kathy Sinclair and Denis Walsh voted in favour, with Mayor Ken Christian and councillors Sadie Hunter, Mike O’Reilly, Dieter Dudy and Bill Sarai opposed. The motion was defeated. “I think it’s a disservice to Kamloopsians,” Bass said following the decision. “The point I was trying to make, which councillors Walsh and Singh echoed, was to improve

the accessibility for people to come. We all know they only come on issues, personal or what they hate, and we would be more accessible to them.” Staff told council most municipalities surveyed do meet in the evenings, but noted the later start time did not make a significant impact when it came to public participation. Moving the meetings later would also come with slight additional costs, up to an extra $7,100 annually to pay CUPE staff overtime. Three alternative meeting times were presented: 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with public hearings from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. on the same day, 3 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., with public hearings on a different day; and 6 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., with public hearings from 10 p.m. to midnight. Bumping the meeting to 3 p.m. and keeping public hearings on the same day would cost an additional $4,600. Alternatively, it would cost $3,800 to move meetings to 3 p.m. and have public hearings on a different day.

The third option — moving meetings to 6 p.m. and holding public hearings from 10 p.m. to midnight — is the costliest, at an extra $7,100. Singh liked the idea of 6 p.m. meetings in order to allow more people who work 9-to-5 the ability to run for council. Christian, however, said the role of a councillor in reality is full-time, due to myriad other commitments, from meetings to public engagement. Should the city broadcast public hearings? O’Reilly suggested during debate on council meeting times that the city look into broadcasting public hearings. Staff said it’s a possibility that could be explored. No motion was brought forward. The city currently broadcasts its regular and committee of the whole meetings. It does not broadcast committee meetings, nor public hearings. The Thompson-Nicola Regional District films nothing, not records votes of its board members.

Kamloops-Thompson school board approves 2020-2021 capital plan it will send to Victoria MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

New schools in Pineview Valley and Sun Peaks and expansions at Westmount elementary, Sa-Hali secondary and Brocklehurst middle school top the lists in School District 73’s 2020-2021 capital plan priorities. At its regular meeting on Monday, the Kamloops-Thompson school board unanimously approved the plan it will be submitting to the Ministry of Education. The ministry placed new schools and school expansion projects in separate categories for this year’s submissions, which school board chair Kathleen Karpuk said provides the district the benefit of not having to rank a new school or expansion higher than the other. For example, SD73’s

long-range facilities report had an expansion of Westmount elementary listed as the district’s No. 2 priority and a new school in Pineview Valley as No. 3. In the capital plan, they are No. 1 priorities in their respective categories. “Now we have several different categories where we’re able to say this is the most important in this category and, depending on what ministry priorities are, they have more options to choose,” she said. Only two new schools are listed — No. 1 being about $24.9 million for a school in Pineview and No. 2 being $25 million for a school in Sun Peaks, which was formerly listed as a lower priority in the facilities report. The No. 1 priority for expansion projects is a $12.8 million expansion of Westmount elementary, followed by an expansion of Sa-Hali secondary

for $22.2 million — for a new gym and more classroom space — and an $8.7 million expansion of Brocklehurst middle school. SD73 is also continuing to discuss new school sites with the City of Kamloops in major growth areas identified in the municipality’s official community, including upper Aberdeen and Juniper. Karpuk said the school district is in the process of securing Crown land in Pineview Valley and looking into opportunities in Juniper. The school district owns land in Batchelor Heights, but no new school is earmarked for that area of town, Karpuk said. Rather, SD73 is banking on expanding Westmount elementary — which encompasses Batchelor Heights in its catchment area — to accommodate students from that area of town.

“We wouldn’t have to change the catchment area with that [option],” she said. Seven schools are listed for replacement on the list, starting with South Kamloops secondary at $87 million, followed by Bert Edwards, Kay Bingham, Raft River, A.E. Perry Marion Schilling and Beattie elementary schools, with funding requests between $18 million and $22 million. “This list has stayed the same for quite a number of years,” SD73 facilities director Art McDonald told the board. “Every indication from the Ministry of Education is replacements, other than for seismic replacements, aren’t being funded right now, but I think it’s valuable for us to leave this on our list to show we have a need. These buildings aren’t going to last forever.” Karpuk said she under-

stands the ministry prioritizes replacing schools that are in danger of earthquakes over functional buildings in the local district. “Right now, our schools are in very good condition for their age. They’re not falling down, we don’t have any major safety concerns,” said Karpuk. “They might not be ideal in terms of WiFi, but they’re structurally sound.” About half of the schools in the district will require replacement within the next 20 years, according to SD73’s longrange facilities report. The report identified capital needs to combat overcrowded schools and increasing enrolment that are all included in the 2020-2021 capital plan priorities, but higher up in their respective categories. Another new category included in the capital

plan priorities report is the Rural Districts Program, which provides funding for demolition of vacant buildings owned by the school district. SD73 has listed the former Pinantan elementary and former Red Lake school portable as candidates for that funding, at $140,000 and $65,000, respectively. Five new dust collector systems for Chase secondary, Brocklehurst middle school, and Clearwater, Barriere and South Kamloops secondary schools are also included in the report’s School Enhancement Program funding priority list. A boiler upgrade at Aberdeen elementary for $140,000 is pegged as the lone priority under the Carbon Neutral Capital Program and R.L. Clemitson, Westmount and Vavenby elementary schools are listed for new playground equipment.

NATIONAL NEWS

Spending plans may limit impact of Liberals’ housing strategy, PBO says OTTAWA — The parliamentary budget officer says the Liberals’ housing strategy may not alleviate a housing crunch as the government promises. The Liberals unveiled the 10-year, $40-billion national housing strategy in late 2017 in partnership with provinces and territories. A report out this morning from Parliament’s spending watchdog says it is not clear that the strategy will reduce the number of families who live in substandard hous-

ing or are struggling to afford the homes they do have. Budget officer Yves Giroux’s report notes that the Liberal plan doesn’t wildly boost funding from current levels and slightly reduces funding targeting households whose costs stretch them too thin. The report suggests that the design of the program may contribute to it falling short of some of its intended effects. The Liberals hope the strategy improves the housing situation for 530,000 families.

Department of National Defence confirms Canadian soldier killed OTTAWA — A Canadian soldier has been killed in a parachuting accident in Bulgaria. Bombardier Patrick Labrie, a soldier based at CFB Petawawa, died as a result of injuries sustained during parachute training exercise known as Swift Response 19, the Department of National Defence confirmed Tuesday.

The incident happened Monday evening near the Bulgarian village of Cheshnegirovo and is under investigation by Canadian military police, the department said. “I am deeply saddened by the loss of Bombardier Patrick Labrie,’’ Canadian Army commander Lt.-Gen. Jean-Marc Lanthier said in a statement.

“Not only is his death a painful loss to his family and friends, but we feel this loss across the Canadian Army and throughout the entire military community.’’ Exercise Swift Response is a United States-led multinational airborne field training exercise held in Bulgaria, Croatia and Romania.

Public interest’ prompts B.C. coroner to release details in death of Ben Kilmer VICTORIA — The British Columbia Coroners Service has taken the unusual step of confirming suicide in the death of a Victoria-area man who disappeared last year and was not found for five months. Ben Kilmer, a 41-year-old father of two, vanished last May after leaving his work van running on a residential road west of Duncan. An extensive search found no sign of him, but a hiker in the Cowichan Valley discovered his body in October. The coroner has ruled Kilmer died of asphyxiation. Kilmer’s family had opposed release of the information, arguing doing so could impact his children. Andy Watson with the B.C. Coroners Service says the details in the public report were care-

fully considered and the chief coroner determined the public interest in disclosing the information outweighed Kilmer’s personal privacy. A statement issued by the coroner’s service says “the brief summary in the coroner’s report establishes the facts, addresses speculation and quiets the public imagination.’’ The report says Kilmer had been under the care of a physician for treatment of “personal stressors’’ related to anxiety issues, but had not expressed any suicidal thoughts. An encampment near where his body was found indicates he had been in the area for some time before his death. Blood spatter in the van was determined to be Kilmer’s, but the coroner says it was linked to an injury unrelated to his death.

PRICEY TOURS OF DECAYING TITANIC SHIPWRECK DELAYED ST. JOHN’S, — Adventure tourists who paid $168,000 each to help survey the Titanic shipwreck off Newfoundland have been told their muchanticipated dives are being postponed.

The U.S. company behind a series of week-long expeditions has announced the submarine research tours will be postponed until June 2020, after the operator of a staging vessel backed out.

The news comes just two weeks before the inaugural voyage was set to depart from St. John’s, and a year after damage to the submarine delayed the original 2018 departure date.

Canada’s chief of the defence staff, made the news public before a cabinet meeting on Tuesday morning. Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan later disclosed the soldier’s identity and offered comfort to Labrie’s friends and family. “We want to pass on our deep condolences, not only to the family but also to all the

members who have served with Bombardier Labrie,’’ Sajjan said. “As you know, any time there’s an accident like this, an investigation will be launched.’’ Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer issued a sombre statement of his own on Twitter that thanked all Canadian Armed Forces members for their service.

young doctor I know, who wants to work in addictions medicine, recently said overdose deaths were good as they were a form of natural selection. I also read on a Facebook forum — for mothers whose children are addicted to drugs — that a nurse told a mom she was happy when drug addicts died as this meant they would not “infect” other people. This mom then posted a photo of her son, an addict. The photo was of him at three years old, just an innocent child. People jump on bandwagons like this. They say people like me, a loved, decent human being and well respected in my professional life, are nothing but demons, the scourge of the earth.

They attend either because they are mandated to or because they wish to voluntarily come.

Sadly, it is a fact that those who have to account to a supervisory body do much better in recovery. These are the people who don’t (or can’t) hide with the disease. They may have come voluntarily forward or they might have been caught. I truly believe that if more people came forward and shared openly who they were, the disease would hold less stigma. By not being open, we addicts become like the bogey-men who

live under your bed. All nasty things are attributed to us. Two well-known addicts in our community died in recent years of overdoses. They did wonderful things for us and they contributed a lot in their very short lives. One was a very accomplished national author, the other a high-profile community member who started many charitable, volunteer activities that benefitted many. You might ask why I don’t reveal myself if I feel so strongly about being visible in life. I don’t hide in my personal life. Many who know me, know I live with the addictive disease. This truly helps in keeping me accountable. Unfortunately, due to comments like those I receive when writing this column, I cannot at this time have my name in the public. Even the anger expressed at me by

anonymous people has been incredibly harsh, considering the fact I am simply trying to make living amends, trying to help other people by sharing my tale. One day I will reveal who I am. I eventually want to write a book based upon experiences in my life. I recently read an excellent novel, Blackout— Remembering the Thing I Drank to Forget, by Sara Hepola. It is a New York Times bestseller and I am envious of her. Envy always points me to what I want in my life. Her book starts with nine pages of rave reviews. It shows that many want to know what we live with. Even though I am met with hatred at times, this is what keeps me alive and gives me some hope. It is dream of mine that doesn’t involve the consumption of drugs.

BRIEFS to the ALS Society of BC to provide patient services programs for people living with ALS in B.C. and to the ALS Canada Research Program. ELECTRIC COMPANY AT TRU An electric vehicle show at Thompson Rivers University this Sunday aims to educate residents about the benefits of plugging in before hitting the road.

The free event in the Campus Activity Centre’s Grand Hall — to be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. — is being hosted by the BC Sustainable Energy Association and TRU’s sustainability office. Cheryl Kabloona, chair of the local chapter of the BC Sustainable Energy Association, said electric vehicles require less maintenance than gas-powered cars and produce fewer greenhouse gas emissions. In addition, she said, government rebate programs are making the vehicles more affordable. To attend the show at TRU, register online at eventbrite.ca.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW FILE Pipe destined for Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion sit on rail cars on westbound tracks in downtown Kamloops in April 2018.

Gottfriedson part of bid to buy Trans Mountain KAMLOOPS THIS WEEK

There are as many as a halfdozen Indigenous groups interested in an equity stake in the Trans Mountain pipeline and its expansion project from Alberta to the coast — and Shane Gottfriedson wants his bid to emerge as the winner. Gottfriedson, former Tk’emlups te Secwepemc chief and former B.C. regional chief for the Assembly of First Nations, is now B.C. director of Project Reconciliation, which hopes to lead the effort to acquire a majority stake in Trans Mountain. The oil and fuel pipeline that has run through his territory since 1954 is a step towards financial selfsufficiency for up to 300 Indigenous groups in Western Canada, Gottfriedson said during a visit to the B.C. legislature last week. On Tuesday, the federal Liberal government approved the project after a court-ordered review of Indigenous consultation and the impact of expanded crude oil shipping on marine life. “We’ve had some preliminary discussions with the federal government,” Gottfriedson said. “We’re anxiously waiting for the June 18 decision to come down so we can continue to move forward.

SHANE GOTTFRIEDSON Project Reconciliation is preparing to announce a financial partner in the venture in the coming weeks. “We are offering all Indigenous groups in Western Canada — more than 300 in B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan — to sign up as majority shareholders for a 51 per cent stake in the Trans Mountain pipeline. As a former chief, I am here to tell you, it is high time we shifted our focus from managing historic poverty to managing future prosperity.” Project Reconciliation aims to put 80 per cent of its pipeline profits into what is calls a sovereign wealth fund to develop infrastructure and

businesses in Indigenous communities. Another equity proposal is being proposed by the Alberta-based Indian Resources Council, representing Treaty 6, 7 and 8 communities in Alberta, Treaty 8 communities in B.C.’s northeast and communities in Saskatchewan. In August 2018, the federal government purchased the pipeline from Kinder Morgan for $4.5 billion. Last Friday, Gottfriedson spoke at an Indigenous Opportunities conference in Vancouver, where he argued First Nations communities should “have a seat at the table” in the project’s management, both to earn benefits from a project that appears inevitable and to protect Aboriginal cultural values in the land. Some 250 First Nations community leaders and industry executives attended Friday morning’s conference at the Fairmont Waterfront Hotel, which addressed the business end of First Nations involvement in resource projects. The event occurred almost a week after First Nations were front and centre at a protest in Vancouver against the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project. Gottfriedson said the Project Reconciliation efforts will remain

respectful of those communities that oppose Trans Mountain’s expansion. “Who am I to tell anybody that Project Reconciliation is good for you, sign up?” Gottfriedson said. “Our approach is to work with First Nations who want to work with us, on their terms and their land, and build a pipeline.” The band Gottfriedson led as chief, Tk’emlups, has a $3-million community benefits agreement in place if the pipeline expansion proceeds. A neigbouring band, the Neskonlith in the Chase area, is opposed to the project crossing its territory. Supporters and opponents of the pipeline expansion project can be found in First Nations communities across the length of the route. One part of reconciliation with First Nations involves protecting the environment and communities’ way of life, Gottfriedson said. “{But] if people say no, they don’t want it, then the answer is no,” he said. “We find a way to work around it.” Following the session, however, Gottfriedson said that personally, he is confident in pipeline safety, from regulations to the technology used in monitoring, and sees his job as getting accurate information in front

of communities “to make informed decisions.” Expansion of the 1,100-kilometre pipeline would involve twinning the existing line, with new routes for a second line in much of the Lower Mainland, which would nearly triple its capacity to 890,000 barrels of oil per day. The expansion would include 29 kilometres through Kamloops. Project opponents decry the expansion of bitumen production from Alberta’s oilsands that the pipeline would support. Gottfriedson, however, said “we’d be foolish to say we’re not energydependent” and argued the project “is an opportunity to build economic reconciliation. “As First Nations, we’ve got a long, rich history of managing poverty,” Gottfriedson said. “Now it’s time that we start getting into wealth creation and taking advantage of opportunities.” Since his days Tk’emlups and B.C. regional chief, Gottfriedson has gone into business. He owns the Tim Hortons restaurant on the Tk’emlups reserve and is developing some property he owns. — with files from the Vancouver Sun

Neighbours sink Airbnb plan at East Barriere TNRD BOARD HAS REJECTED THE FIRST SHORT-TERM RENTAL APPLICATION IT RECEIVED We are not trying to “establish a lucrative,

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Thompson-Nicola Regional board has denied permission for a Langley family to rent its East Barriere Lake cabin on Airbnb, in what was the first application to go before the board since the regional district put in place shortterm rental regulations. In the TNRD, short-term rentals are allowed under lakeshore resort and recreational-commercial zoning — essentially areas that allow resorts or travel accommodations. The board denied Ryan and Tracey Dahl of Langley a temporary-use permit to enable shortterm vacation rental on their property, which is zoned rural and allows only one dwelling for single-family residential use. Regional district staff had recommended approval of the temporary-use permit, barring changes from the board stemming from the public hearing process. The property had been posted for rent on Airbnb — an online service through which people post short-term rental ads — and drew the ire of

short-term rental business that overtakes our use of the property.

”

— RYAN DAHL, East Barriere Lake applicant

neighbours who complained. The TNRD enforces illegal short-term rentals on a complaint basis. Ryan Dahl told KTW he removed the online ad following complaints and never did rent his cabin. Instead, he said, he sought a temporary-use permit for three years. Asked if he jumped the gun in posting the ad, Dahl pointed to countless other accommodations operating outside of permitted zoning. During a public hearing last Thursday, Dahl said he intended to lend and/or rent the property, located at 5115 East Barriere Lake, primarily to family and friends for between 20 and 30 days each year. He said his family cannot be at

the lake during the entire summer, noting rental income would help offset costs of owning the lake property. “We are not trying to establish a lucrative, short-term rental business that overtakes our use of the property,” Dahl said. However, neighbouring property owner Linda Hartl told the board the Dahl property shares a driveway and gate with her lakeside retirement home, which she and her husband have lived in during the summer months for the past 16 years. Hartl stressed the importance of neighbours being mindful of one another. Would strangers care? She isn’t so sure. Hartl noted securing her property would mean building a 400-foot fence, which she called an “unfair” financial burden. Other residents opposing the application filled the gallery in the TNRD Building in downtown Kamloops. Concerns were raised about fire risks, garbage, impacts to wildlife, lake safety, impact on property values and opening the floodgates for more rentals on the lake.

Hartl noted cabins on the lake are being torn down in favour of building large homes to rent out. One listing, she said, advertises sleeping for up to 28 people. “It’s happening to us at the lake,” she said, noting short-term rentals are “very lucrative.” Sun Peaks Mayor Al Raine recommended the board not support the temporary-use permit, following lessons learned at his resort municipality. He said rezoning has created conflicts, due to residents having purchased property and not expecting a rental to pop up next door. “I would really recommend to this board that we don’t go there,” Raine said. Kamloops Coun. Mike O’Reilly noted hundreds of legal shortterm rentals in the regional district. He suggested limiting the temporary-use permit to one year and requiring a minimum sevennight stay to weed out the party crowd. The board could effectively put any restriction on the permit, but it instead defeated the temporary use permit application, to cheers and tears from East Barriere Lake

residents. “I am so happy for all the community, not just for me, who it impacts the most,” Hartl said. “The whole community is so close-knit and tight. We’ve all got concerns and we want to keep the lake as special as we all think it is now.” TNRD staff told KTW the decision will not impact future applications and does not set any kind of precedent, as suggested by residents. The issue of how to tackle short-term rentals is being dealt with worldwide in the age of digital disruption. Sun Peaks and lakefront properties comprise the most short-term rentals in the regional district. TNRD director of development services Regina Sadilkova said the regional district has had “very few complaints” about short-term rentals. When it comes to enforcement of illegal short-term rentals, however, one situation will go to court next month. The TNRD is pursuing a court injunction over a zoning violation due to short-term rental in a residential rural zone.

How Much Risk Can You Take vs Should You Take? Years ago, before kids, I was a bachelor travelling in New Zealand known as the birthplace of bungee jumping. I completed the “Thrillogy” which include 3 bungee jumps at three very different locations. It was incredibly nerve racking especially when I couldn’t help but think at some point human error would eventually occur. Needless to say, I am not sure I would do this again… perhaps age and or having a family limits my risk appetite. I make this analogy to demonstrate that people’s appetite for risk often changes over their lifetime. Broadly speaking, Investor Risks can be split between two categories: 1. Capacity – this is the level of risk you are capable of taking and is mathematical and measured by standard deviation more commonly known as volatility. For example, if you are debt free, no kids and have $1,000,000 you can afford to take more risk than a family of four with, little saved and many expenses ahead.

2. Tolerance- this is the level of risk you want or are willing to take. Also known as Risk Appetite, which is based on your feelings and emotional stresses you can manage with respect to investing. One of my favourite analogies is to envision portfolio volatility like turbulence on an airplane. Which of these two options would you chose when flying from Vancouver to Hawaii? A) You get to Honolulu in 6 hours and sleep easy on the plane. B) You could get to Honolulu in 4 hours but "white knuckled" with extreme turbulence. Often, there are mismatches between Capacity and Tolerance. Some investors will be too conservative and not keep up with the cost of living (inflation). On the other hand, taking on too much risk can jeopardize a worry-free retirement. Typically, some sort of discovery tool will be used to estimate your comfort. The easiest question to ask yourself is what is the “ maximum turbulence” you could tolerate? For example, an investor with $500,000 might say I feel I can handle a maximum decrease of 10% or $50,000 over any 12-month period. From here, a diversified portfolio can be personally built around this preference. The following table is based on US figures but helps illustrate the differences in portfolio composition:

Another key point is that retirees tend to worry more about their finances than younger people. As such, we must be aware of potential changes in lifestyle, needs, attitudes, and adjust accordingly. By continually, re-evaluating your objectives and comforts, you stand a better chance at managing future financial events and unforeseen surprises. Probably the most important thing in financial planning and wealth management is aligning your portfolio to your goals. If you could achieve your goals and dreams with a 4% return, shouldn’t your portfolio be designed to achieve this? Many investors focus on returns instead of goals. Consequently, they take on more risk than required. For the most part, striving for higher returns to exceed your goals doesn’t actually translate into an improvement in lifestyle. Unchecked portfolios and goals can lead to suboptimal results and disappointment. We encourage investors to review now before the next major market event and help reduce the turbulence. Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

Clouston named Blazers’ head coach SYDOR MOVES INTO ASSOCIATE COACH POSITION FOR 2019-2020 WHL CAMPAIGN

Shaun Clouston was named head coach of the Kamloops Blazers on Monday. Darryl Sydor will join him on the bench as an associate coach. Clouston spent the past 16 seasons with the Medicine Hat Tigers, as an assistant coach or associate coach from 2003 to 2010 and head coach from 2010 to 2019. He was also the club’s general manager from 2013 to 2019. “He brings with him a wealth of successful Western Hockey League experience, as well as international experience by representing Hockey Canada multiple times,” Blazers’ general manager Matt Bardsley said in a press release. “He has a great understanding of today’s players and is known for having his teams play with speed, structure and a high compete level that will be exciting for the outstanding group of players we will have for the upcoming season.” The 51-year-old Viking, Alta., product is the winningest head coach in Tigers’ history, his 391 victories slotting him third among active WHL coaches. Clouston won a WHL championship as an assistant coach in 2004 and as an associate coach in 2007. He guided Medicine Hat to the playoffs in eight of nine seasons as the team’s head coach. A loss to Edmonton in a post-season play-in tiebreaker game kept the Tigers out of the playoffs in 2016. Under Clouston, the Tigers reached the Eastern Conference final in 2011 and 2014, were ousted four times in Round 2, in 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2017, and jettisoned in Round 1 the past two seasons. The Tigers announced the two sides had “parted ways” in a concise press release on May 30. Willie Desjardins was named Medicine Hat’s head coach and GM on May 31, retaking positions he held before pursuing work in the pro ranks. The Blazers and head coach Serge Lajoie announced their parting of ways in April, ending

Shaun Clouston (left) has spent the past 16 years of his career working for the Medicine Hat Tigers. That relationship came to an abrupt end in the spring, but he quickly found work. The Kamloops Blazers named Clouston head coach on Monday. Part-owner Darryl Sydor was named associate coach.

a one-and-done tenure that finished in a Round 1 exit from the post-season. Bardsley, hired last June, brought in Sydor as an assitant coach in February, a move that dovetailed with Kamloops’ incredible run to the post-season, which was completed with a victory over Kelowna in a tiebreaker game. Sydor played in 1,291 NHL games and won Stanley Cups with Dallas in 1999 and Tampa Bay in 2004. He is part-owner of the Blazers. “I am very honoured to have the opportunity to work alongside Shaun,” Sydor said. “I am excited to help create a culture I was once a part of during my playing days with this franchise. I believe Shaun and I will be able to help our players reach their goals.

“Kamloops is my family’s home and we are excited to continue to raise our family in this community.” Defenceman Connor Clouston, Shaun’s son, was picked by the Blazers in Round 3 of the 2011 WHL Bantam Draft and played parts of three seasons in Kamloops. Shaun Clouston and the Tigers drafted Ryan Chyzowski in Round 1 of the 2015 bantam draft. Chyzowski, a Kamloops product and the son of Dave Chyzowski, the Blazers’ director of sales and marketing, is entering his 20-year-old campaign in Medicine Hat. Bardsley was a scout for the Portland Winterhawks when Shaun Clouston was an assistant

25th Annual PROGRESS

coach for the U.S. Division club in 2001-2002. Clouston, a forward during his playing days, became familiar with Kamloops when he toiled for the Winterhawks from 1985 to 1989, when a fierce rivalry developed with the Blazers. Clouston and Sydor will be introduced at a press conference on Wednesday morning. Cory Clouston, Shaun’s brother, is a former WHL and NHL head coach. PRE-SEASON SCHEDULE The Blazers will play seven games in the 2019 WHL pre-season, including three at Sandman Centre. Kamloops will square off against the Victoria Royals on Aug. 31, with

puck-drop slated for 7 p.m. The Kelowna Rockets will be in town on Sunday, Sept. 1. Game time is 2 p.m. Kamloops’ final home game of the pre-season will be versus Kelowna on Friday, Sept. 13, with action to begin at 7 p.m. The Blazers will play three games in three nights at the Langley Events Centre — against Prince George on Sept. 6, Victoria on Sept. 7 and Vancouver on Sept. 8. Kelowna will play host to Kamloops on Sept. 14.

Hubbard: Tennis event best ever in Kamloops From left: Thomas Friesen, Kelly Hubbard, Justin Friesen and Paige Grice are preparing for an ITF World Tennis Tour Junior Circuit event that gets underway on Saturday at the Kamloops Tennis Centre. World rankings points will be up for grabs.

Paige Grice, Thomas Friesen and Justin Friesen rallied in the blistering heat, thumping forehands and slicing backhands at the Kamloops Tennis Centre on Monday afternoon. Few days remain for practise before the most notable matches to this point of their careers, with an International Tennis Federation World Tennis Tour Junior Circuit event set to touch down on Saturday on home court in the Tournament Capital. “It’s the best tennis we’re going to have here, probably ever,” said KTC tennis director Kelly Hubbard, who coaches the local trio. The under-18 tournament will feature players from across the world, with Mexico, India, the U.S., Chile and China among countries expected to be represented in boys’ and girls’ singles and doubles draws. Action will run through next Saturday. ITF ranks its junior categories one through five. Grade 1 is the top level. The Kamloops event is a Grade 5 tournament, but is expected to attract Grade 4/5-calibre players. Luka Vukovic of North Vancouver is the seventh-ranked U18 player in Canada and 369thranked U18 player in the world. Leena Bennetto of Vernon

is ranked 10th among U16 Canadian girls and 605th in the world among U18 girls. Both will play at the Kamloops event. “This is the highest level in B.C.,” Hubbard said, noting Bennetto trains in Kamloops. “They only allocate so many ITFs per year to each country. One had to be given up in Canada for us to receive one.

with the qualifying round slate expected to be available on Friday and the main draw lineup to follow on Sunday. “This is my first ITF, so yes, this is the biggest tournament I’ve ever played,” said big-serving Justin, who has been coached by Hubbard for about six years. “You just need to tell yourself to play to win. Don’t play to not

lose. Go for your shots and hope for the best.” Paige enjoys watching 19-yearold Canadian tennis star Bianca Andreescu, who turned pro in 2017 after toiling on the ITF Junior Circuit. “It’ll be a good experience to play players from all over the world,” said Paige, who plans to use her strong forehand from the baseline. Thomas looks up to his older brother on the court and will have his support during an opening-round qualifying match, with friends and family expected to be in attendance. “I’m really nervous about it,” Thomas said. “I’m not sure why. I feel like I should be more excited. “I’m more of an aggressive player. I like being on the offence, finishing points quick and making my way to the net.” Finding quality opponents usually means travelling for the KTC’s top juniors. Next week, the world is coming to them. “If you want to come down and take a look, top-quality competitors are going to be here,” Hubbard said, noting the event is under contract to be held in Kamloops through 2021.

SPORTS TORY PROMISES REVIEW OF RAPTORS PARADE COLIN PERKEL

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The city and its partners will review planning for the Raptors’ victory parade that drew unprecedented crowds to the downtown, some of whom found themselves caught in a terrifying situation when gunfire erupted late in the proceedings, Toronto Mayor John Tory said on Tuesday. Some experts were critical of the planning for a parade that ran hours late due to clogged roads on a route and ended at an overflowing square in front of city hall, where about a million people spent hours without ready access to water or washrooms — or a safe way to get out in an emergency. Police acted fast to deal with the “scary moment’’ of gunfire, Tory said, as he denounced the “reckless actions’’ of those who took firearms to the celebration and praised organizers for their “extraordinary effort.’’ “This was a massive event, the likes of which our city has never seen before,’’ said Tory, who had urged employers in the city to give their staff time off to show up for the celebration. “hey had three days to plan this parade.’’ Brad Ross, a spokesman for the city, said the review led by the city’s manager would look at all aspects of the event — among them the route, security and barriers used. Ross, too, said things went extremely well given the short planning time frame. “We had from Thursday to plan fully,’’ Ross said.

The Ladies Fun Pickleball Tournament was held on the weekend at Riverside Park.

Pickleballers unite at Riverside Park for Ladies Fun Tournament More than 80 women from across the province participated in the second annual Ladies Fun Pickleball Tournament on the weekend at Riverside Park.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Lloyd Alan Boose April 25, 1929 - June 9, 2019

Lloyd Boose passed away peacefully at the age of 90. Lloyd was born on April 25, 1929 in South Cayuga Township, Ontario, the second of three sons to Clayton and Nellie Boose. He married Jean on November 5, 1949. They lived in Dunnville, Ontario and had three sons. He started his working life on the family farm and sawmill. He worked several other jobs including driving rock truck on the tunnels project under Niagara Falls. He later became a long haul truck driver for Zavitz Brothers of Wainfleet, Ontario hauling fish and produce from various points in Ontario to markets in New York and other Eastern US locations. He later put his love of mechanics to work and became a mechanic for the same company and eventually went on to be their mechanical foreman. He challenged the Ontario apprenticeship exams and earned his “Doctor of Motors” a proud day! In 1963, they decided to move west and packed up the family and moved to BC. A job awaited him with Hayes Trucks in Penticton, but there was also and opening in Kamloops and he went to work for the Hayes Trucks dealer in Kamloops. A few years later, the dealership closed and Lloyd took over the shop and started his own business, L. Boose Truck Service. The business grew and he then built his own shop on Carrier Street and for sometime was a sub dealer for Mack Trucks. The business continued to grow and became Boose Truck & Diesel Service Ltd., one of the

June Lehman

interiors largest independent Cummins Diesel dealers. In 1980, he was offered and accepted the Freightliner Truck Dealership. They operated out of the Carrier Street location until he opened a new facility on Versatile Drive in 1988 and a second location in Kelowna in 1989, operating the business until his retirement in 1993. During his retirement he and Jean travelled extensively in their RV, spending winters in the sunny south. He was predeceased by his parents, wife Jean and older brother Ken and is survived by his younger brother Ralph, his sons Bob (Susan), Gerry (Laura) and Tim (Laurette) along with six grandchildren Mike (Christine), Clint (Karen), Corey, Christopher (Jeremy), Stephen (Michael), Andy (Amy) and five great-grandchildren Jamie, Zach, Treyden, Darell and Sean.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Lorne Allan Bond March 28, 1945 - June 15, 2019

It is with deep sadness that we announce the death of our father and grandpa at the age of 74 on June 15, 2019 at Royal Inland Hospital (Kamloops, BC) from pneumonia. Lorne was predeceased by his wife Lynn and his parents Ervin and Doris Bond. He will be greatly missed by his six children Michael (Kelly), David (Lisa), Kathleen (Christophe), Amanda, Valerie (Russell), and Stephanie (Simon), eleven grandchildren Matthew, Alora, Tate, Reegan, Rebecca, Zachary, Beth, Benjamin, Samantha, Eli and Juliette, his two sisters Brenda (Jim deceased) and Doreen (Vern), as well as many other relatives and friends. Lorne was born in Montréal, QC on March 28, 1945. His family moved to Two Mountains, QC where he grew up, met and later married his wife Lynn in August 1968. They were married 48 years until her death in 2016. Lorne graduated from Loyola College (University of Montreal) in 1967 with a BSc. in Geotechnical Sciences and pursued a career as a Geologist. As a young man he was fascinated with Northern and Western Canada and was given the opportunity to take his young family to such exotic locations as Lynn Lake, MB (with Sherritt-Gordon Mines), Fort St. James, BC, Yellowknife, NWT, Pine Point, NWT (with Cominco) and finally settling in Kamloops to work at Afton Mines and Highland Valley Copper (with Teck Resources).

of camping, long road trips and quiet moments with their father.

John Dahl

A devoted Catholic, he led by example both for his family and in the community.

It is with sad hearts that John’s family announces his passing on June 10, 2019 at Royal Inland Hospital, in Kamloops, BC.

Lorne spent his retirement watching over his grandchildren, puttering around the garden and exploring the natural geography of BC.

John was born in Yarrow on May 23, 1932 and raised on the family dairy farm in Sumas Prairie. He was predeceased by his first wife Barbara, parents Anna and John and brothers Alfred, Ervin and Dennis. He is survived by his children Glen, Mark and Kerrin, his wife Jean, her daughters Caroline and Carmen, seventeen grandchildren, four great-grandchildren and his siblings Ann, Dave and Les, their families and many friends.

In July 2018, Lorne was diagnosed with brain cancer. Though the surgery went incredibly well the subsequent post-surgery treatments and several bouts of flu, infections and pneumonia took a heavy toll on Lorne and he fought hard until the last. The family appreciates the full-time care his daughter Amanda provided after the surgery. The family would like to recognize Dr. Chevalier (Neurosurgeon), the care and compassion shown by the staff at the Southern Interior Cancer Center and the services of his family doctor as well as the staff at Royal Inland Hospital. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate, if friends and family so desire, that donations be made in Lorne’s memory to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. A Prayer Vigil will be held at St. John Vianney Catholic Church, 2826 Bank Road on Thursday June 20, 2019 at 7:00 pm, followed by the Funeral Mass on Friday June 21, 2019 at 11:00 am. Interment will take place at Hillside Cemetery.

Lorne was a serious minded intellectual who loved his career but also loved his family and quietly supported his children in all their endeavours be that education, sports, career, or family. They all have great memories

In Loving Memory of Leanna Catherine Cassidy

He started his career in the coastal logging industry at an early age remaining with the same employer, Cattermole Timber, for many years. He arrived in the area which became MacKenzie in 1963 and logged the flood zones before the water came up behind the WAC Bennett Dam. John served on the District Council for five years and played an important role in planning MacKenzie. He was honoured when the regional government named a park in Mackenzie after him. He was an avid athlete competing in fastball, skiing, gymnastic, hockey and golf. Most mornings he would meet his golf buddies in The Dunes clubhouse for coffee and witty banter. The family would like to thank the staff in the Cardiac Care Unit and on 7-North for the care John received over the last six weeks. A Celebration of Life will be held from 12:00 to 3:00 pm on Saturday, June 29, 2019 at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour Street, Kamloops. In lieu of flowers, a donation to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation (cardiology fund) would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324

Edoardo (Ed) Fuoco

Arthur “Art” Wymond Turner, passed away in his sleep on Thursday, June 13, 2019 in Kamloops at the age of 95. He was born on March 14, 1924 to William and May (Lomas) Turner in Abbotsford, BC. Art was predeceased by his wife of 53 years Lorena, his sister Ina and his mother and father. Survivors include his children Tom (Judy), Gary, Diane, and Larry (Sandra), two sisters Wilma Baird and Margaret Wisebrough, his brother Joe Turner, seven grandchildren, six great-grandchildren and numerous nieces and nephews. He leaves behind many friends who knew him as an avid outdoorsman, teacher and accomplished lawn bowler. A Celebration of Life will be held on Thursday, June 20, 2019 at 10:30 am in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive, Kamloops with Pastor Don Maione officiating.

He was predeceased by his parents Giacamo and Agata, as well as his siblings Johnny, Jimmy, Bert, Gordon and Linda. Ed was born in Kamloops on December 26, 1930 and lived his entire life here. He was a longtime employee at PBD for 46 years. He truly loved his job and made many friends along the way that really made an impact on him. Ed had a great passion for fishing, hunting and gardening. He enjoyed going to Blazer games and was a longtime season ticket holder, but the greatest joy he had was seeing his grandchildren playing hockey, soccer, lacrosse and cheering them on all the while calling out the referees. Ed also really enjoyed his coffee time with “the boys” at A&W. The family would like to extend a huge thank you to Dr. Chahal for all her great care and support.
