MERRITT HERALD NO SIGN OF MORRISON Ranch searched FREE

TUESDAY, JULY 19, 2016 • MERRITT NEWSPAPERS

COLD CASE

Michael Potestio THE MERRITT HERALD

Allan Mole and the Kamloops Search and Rescue team scoured the Stump Lake Ranch for any signs Dean Morrison on Saturday, but the search turned up nothing.

Renewed search efforts for missing Merritt man Dean Morrison failed to materialize any new clues on the weekend. On Saturday (July 16) private investigator firm BCSI Investigations, two drone teams, and Kamloops Search and Rescue (KSAR) crews scoured parts of the Stump Lake Ranch and nearby ditches along Highway 5A for signs of Morrison, who was last seen on the property nearly three years ago. He had been working at the ranch as a contracted painter, and went missing Oct. 22, 2013. While investigators didn’t find any new evidence, footage taken from drones used in the search may still bear fruit. Two drone teams from Hummingbird Drones were used in the search and gathered about five hours of footage, which still needs to be reviewed, said KSAR manager Alan Hobler. Drones haven’t been used previous searches for Morrison. KSAR vice president Allan Mole said the drones were used to examine bodies of water, and other parts of the property not easily accessible by man. A drone’s eye view has the benefit of being able to look clearly into a lake. “You can imagine being 30 feet above the lake and looking straight down into the lake and reducing all that glare and being able to see into the water,” Hobler said. The aircraft was also useful in the search because it can fly into a canyon where it’s dangerous to send a searcher or fly a helicopter, Hobler told the Herald. Two small lakes were examined by the drones, but a thunderstorm rolled in before searches could fly them over Stump Lake. Hobler said they still intend to fly the drones over the lake. Signs of clothing are what they are primarily looking to find in the footage, Hobler said. “The assumption is [Morrison’s] still out there on the property, and we’re looking for some trace of him,” Hobler said.

Mole said members and search dogs focused on ravines and wooded areas near the ranch as well as the timber-grassland interface.

Charles Toodlican, 67, is facing a raft of charges — including dangerous driving, impaired driving and mischief — stemming from the bizarre incident alleged to have unfolded on a rural highway in the Lower Nicola. Court heard Toodlican had been drinking wine at a friend’s house at about noon on Thursday, July 14.

REMEMBER WHEN? From the Herald archives: July, 1968

PRINCETON MAN CHARGED IN SHOOTING DEATH No definite reason was learned as to why a man walked down Quilchena Avenue through downtown Merritt Sunday evening at about 5:30 to enter a home at 1275 Quilchena Avenue and kill a woman in her sister’s home. Following the tragic shooting, a 39 year old Princeton man, known in Merritt, Charles Warren Tupper waited to surrender quietly to police who arrived on the scene shortly after the shooting. At the home of Mrs. Fred (Ruth) Jameson, her sister 51 year old Wilhelmine Gladys Jurriet was dead from wounds received from a high calibre rifle. Several witnesses reported to the Herald that they had seen what they all described as “a determined looking man” carrying a rifle, walking down the street through town.”

Two companies in the southern interior will begin resurfacing work in the coming weeks on Kamloopsarea highways. Dawson Construction of Kamloops will resurface the Trans-Canada Highway between the Springhill and Sagebrush overpasses, as well as 13 kilometres of Long Lake Road. The contract is valued at $1.6 million. The work on the Trans-Canada Highway will begin in mid-July and work on Long Lake Road in early August. The project is expected to finish in the fall. Belvedere Place Contracting Ltd. of Kelowna has been awarded a $3.14-million contract to resurface

approximately 27 kilometres of Highway 97C west from Logan Lake toward the Highland Valley Copper mine. Preliminary work will begin before the end of July and the project is expected to be completed in September. Work will not occur over holiday weekends and government staff will ‘monitor traffic throughout the duration of the projects in an effort to minimize delays caused by the construction. However, motorists are advised to allow for extra time and are reminded to obey traffic control personnel and construction speed limits, and watch for workers and highway message boards.

VIEWPOINT EDITORIAL

Pokémon GO-ing crazy A Clinton is running for the presidency, the military in Turkey has attempted a coup, and it seems Cole Wagner like half the world is COLE’S NOTES obsessed with catching as many Pokémon as possible. You’ll be forgiven if you have to check the dates to make sure that — yes — it is indeed 2016. Pokémon GO was officially launched in Canada on Sunday July 17, and the worldwide, nostalgiafuelled success was immediately downloaded so many times that the servers crashed within hours of the launch. In case you’re a little confused as to why Pokémon is all of a sudden back in the headlines, 20 years after the initial release of the franchise, here is a brief explainer of how the new Pokémon game works. While previous iterations of the Pokémon franchise were played on Nintendo consoles or Game Boys, the newest game is a mobile app for smartphones, which takes advantage of the GPS capabilities of most modern phones. After downloading the game and registering an account, players must use their phones to hunt out nearby Pokémon in the real world. As you walk down the street with your eyes firmly fixed on your phone, the game will give you a notification when a Pokémon is near your physical location — triggering an augmented reality mini-game to catch the monster in question. What sets Pokémon GO apart from almost any other game is that the GPS tracking requires players to be active in order to play. Sitting around in your apartment is unlikely to net you very many impressive Pokémon, as this editor discovered last night.

Getting down to the brass tacks on CPP DAN ALBAS View from the HILL Recently the federal government announced a tentative deal with the majority of Canadian provinces to increase the size of Candian Pension Plan (CPP) contributions and, as a result, increase the benefit payments upon retirement. I am finding that because this announcement was made when many other events were occurring on Parliament Hill some of the details of this CPP increase were not

as well communicated to citizens as they could have been. As a result I would like to share some of the details of this CPP increase. Currently both an employer and an employee pay 4.95 per cent of a worker’s salary into CPP up to a maximum income level of $54,900. Over time this current CPP contribution, if at the maximum level, would result in total benefit payments of just over $13,000 per year. The recent CPP changes announced are intended to achieve two goals. The first is to increase the total maximum benefit payable upon retirement and the second goal is to increase the income level so that a worker with a higher income will still have the ability to earn CPP benefits. To put these changes

into context, I will provide a few examples. Currently a worker at the maximum income level of $54,900 can earn a total yearly benefit of $13,110 a year. That same worker with the same income level (once the CPP changes are fully phased in) would be eligible to receive a total benefit of $17,500 a year (in today’s dollars) thus an increase of $4,390 per year in total or a $365 monthly increase upon retirement. The second change is the increase so that more wealthy workers can collect CPP benefits. As I mentioned previously, currently the maximum income level for CPP is $54,900. Once the proposed changes are fully phased in by the year 2025 this amount would be increased to $82,700 per

year. As a result of these changes a retiring worker with an income level of $82,700 would be eligible for maximum annual CPP benefits of up to $19,900 a year, again expressed in today’s dollars. Keep in mind these proposed increases also carry increased costs to your CPP contributions that will be deducted from your pay check. While the exact cost details will vary per worker it is expected that a worker with an annual salary of $54,900 will see a CPP increase of $108 a year in 2019 as that is the first year the CPP increase changes would begin to take effect. Once the CPP increases are fully implemented in 2025, the increased costs to a worker would be just over $500 per year. Keep in mind all of these

same increased costs will also have to be absorbed by employers. As a result, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business has expressed concerns that imposing what amounts to billions of dollars in increases on labour costs over time will have a detrimental impact on job creation and be potentially harmful to many small businesses. The federal government will also be introducing a partial tax credit for employee contributions; however, the overall impact on small business is unknown. While the increased CPP changes will cost employers and employees more in contributions, what has also been overlooked is that these changes may actually

OPINION LETTER to the editor

B.C is best Editor; B.C. is a have province, has the only AAA credit rating in all of Canada, has had four balanced budgets in a row — with the 2016/2017 budget being the only balanced budget in all of Canada — the best economic growth in 2015 in all of Canada, is destined for the best economic growth in all of Canada for 2016, has the number one premier in all of Canada in 2015 as the best manager of taxpayer dollars, and as of June 2016, the lowest unemployment rate in all of Canada. What more can you ask for? B.C. taxpayers should be proud of their present provincial government regardless of which political party they give their support to.

World adjusts to Pokémon From Page 6 The game also encourages people to be active by marking locations around town as “Pokéstops;” specific geographic locations where players can earn bonus items for simply being in a given physical location. The sheer popularity of the game — as of press time, the game had more than 10 million downloads on the Google Play store — has prompted a number of real world consequences as the planet struggles to adapt on-thefly to the new Pokémon reality. Merritt, for example, could be seeing some more foot traffic in the downtown, as the country music murals painted on the sides of many downtown businesses are marked as “Pokéstops,” meaning players will get bonuses for being tourists. For all the hand-wringing at city hall over signage aimed at increasing downtown foottraffic, the launch of Pokémon GO could be the solution that businesses and city council have been searching for — and it didn’t even cost a dime of taxpayers’ money, or require any

fancy-schmancy design work. Meanwhile, in cities across Canada, civic services are desperately trying to adjust to the influx of Pokémon trainers. The Richmond RCMP recently issued a press release entitled “Tips for Enjoying Pokémon GO Responsibly,” — immediately prompting everyone to wonder whether Pokémon GO was a mobile game, or a new alcoholic beverage. The RCMP release cautions would-be trainers that “not everyone shares your enthusiasm for Pokémon or comprehends the game. It may appear strange or suspicious to others not familiar with the game.” Sage advice for not just Pokémon GO, but most activities that people enjoy. A friend of mine who works in a hospital at a major Canadian city downloaded the game in an attempt to head off a massive influx of perfectly healthy people wandering into the hospital in search of Pokémon. “There are privacy issues in hospitals, obviously, so having hoards of people running around the hospital collecting Pokémon with their phones out is an issue from a security stand-

point,” she explained. “Turns out there are Pokémon in the hospital - [I] caught one on my desk.” Even stranger stories have emerged from players in the U.S., who have discovered dead bodies, fallen off cliffs, and been lured into robberies, all due to real-world exploration in pursuit of Pokémon. With more than 10 million Canadian players, we should brace for many more strange stories in the coming weeks of players encountering bears, getting lost in our vast national parks, or wandering into the wrong street at the wrong time looking for a Pokémon. With any luck, we might also hear about savvy businesses that find a way to take advantage of the wandering trainers stopping at the murals around Merritt to boost sales. After all, there is a good hunting tradition around town, so it would be a natural transition for Merritt to embrace itself as a Pokéhaven. The “country music capital of Canada” does have a good ring, but so does “gotta catch em all.”

CPP boost could cost businesses From Page 6 provide some financial relief to the federal government in the future. Increasing CPP benefits may result in less pressure and eligibility on programs such as the Guaranteed Income Supplement (GIS) and Old Age Security (OAS), both of which are not directly supported by contributions from employers and employees as is the case with CPP.
