THE RED DAWN LIBERALS SHOCK NATION WITH MAJORITY WIN; VOTERS REMAIN TRUE BLUE IN KAMLOOPS

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Conservative Cathy McLeod and former Socred and B.C. Liberal MLA Claude Richmond watch Stephen Harper’s concession speech. For the first time, McLeod is an opposition MP.

In yesterday’s election, Kamloops proved itself to not be a bellwether riding, returning Conservative Cathy McLeod to office while the Liberals stunned a nation by sweeping to a majority. As of KTW’s press deadline last night, Justin Trudeau’s Liberals were elected or leading in 190 of 338 seats — 19 more than is needed to form a majority government. In Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo, the much-hyped strategic voting initiative failed to succeed, as McLeod held onto her seat. Liberal Steve Powrie was fending off New Democrat Bill Sundhu for second place as of press deadline. Green Matt Greenwood — who told KTW he didn’t vote for himself, but voted for “change” — was fourth. The Liberals locally captured more than 30 per cent of the popular vote, compared to five per cent the party garnered in the 2011 election. The Conservatives and NDP both saw popular vote percentages fall from 2011 totals. McLeod said “change” was

The City has received a number of questions about the Performing Arts Centre and Parkade. We want to share the most common to inform voters for the November 7th referendum.

questions to help you decide

Performing Arts Centre & Parkade FAQs

Why is the City proposing a parkade and performing arts centre (PAC) complex? There‘s a shortage of theatre space and parking in our city centre. Building an underground parkade with a performing arts centre above meets our needs and makes full use of the property. Adding performing arts with sport tourism allows us to diversify and compliment our local economy. The complex will attract performers with specific requirements on venue and seating capacities. And local performers will benefit too with access to full production theatres and rehearsal halls. How does this impact my property taxes, what will it cost me? There are two phases; a 1% tax increase in 2016 and again in 2017. That results to a 2% increase - about $38/year - in property taxes for the average household for the next 20 years. What if construction costs go up? The City is asking to borrow up to $49 million and if costs go up the project won’t proceed unless more funding is made available from other levels of government, grants or donors. What capital projects, like roads and sidewalks, will be deferred as a result of the PAC? None. This project will be funded by federal government grants, gaming and parking revenues, donors and tax dollars outside of the City’s capital plan budget. What will it cost to operate the PAC and how is it paid for? Once it is built there are no additional costs to the taxpayer. The annual operating cost for the PAC will be $900,000 which is covered by the 2% tax increase. Who would run the Performing Arts Centre? A not-for-profit society would operate the facility and report to the City. This is becoming the model of choice in municipalities across Canada. The society will be expected to operate the Performing Arts Centre as a business. What will be the economic spinoff? The economic spinoff would generate $11 million annually to the local economy due to new productions, ticket sales, increased tourism, new jobs and goods and services.

Despite a second-place finish, Liberal candidate Steve Powrie celebrated his party’s majority-government victory at his downtown Kamloops campaign headquarters. Powrie finished second, claiming 31.3 per cent of the vote in the Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding as of KTW’s press deadline.

GRITS REJUVENATED LOCALLY ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Steve Powrie didn’t expect anything like this. Just before 9 p.m. and with his party projected to win 191 seats nationally, Kamloops’ Liberal candidate was stunned by what he called a “red crush” flowing across Canada. “It’s surpassing anything I would have expected,” he said. “But, you know, it doesn’t surpass my sense of the desire for change. It was so huge. “Everywhere we went, from the doors to the events, people just said they do not want more of the same.” As of KTW’s press deadline, the Liberals were elected or leading in 184 ridings across Canada. Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo wasn’t projected to be one of those ridings, but Powrie garnered six

times more support than Liberal Murray Todd in 2011. The mood throughout the Liberal offices Monday was one of both disbelief and excitement. It was Powrie’s belief that support for the Grits has always been present in the region, but the 2011 election, during which the Liberals garnered 34 seats and were ousted as the official opposition, helped rejuvenate what was a “tired party.” At press time, Powrie was leading New Democrat Bill Sundhu, who many expected to challenge incumbent Cathy McLeod. “Obviously, if one of the two of us had not been as strong, somebody would have been taking Cathy’s position,” Powrie said, speaking of himself and Sundhu. “But, for someone to ask me, or Bill, to step aside, to support the

other person, we now have people voting for someone, not because of what they believe in, but for what they don’t believe in. I find that appalling in a democracy.” Supporters at the Liberal campaign office on Monday spoke at length about voting Liberal not just because of previous practices or leader Justin Trudeau, but because of Powrie’s reputation and their faith in his ability to represent the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo effectively. So, will he run again? “That’s going to take some real consideration,” he said with a smile. “I have a wonderful life, in terms of being an educator, a family person, everything else. I’ve loved doing this as well. Just seeing how we’re doing, I could. But, I don’t think I could make that commitment tonight.”

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Green candidate Matt Greenwood (right) watches election results last night at the Painted Pony with Grant Fraser, himself a federal Green candidate in Kamloops in 2004.

Green voted for change TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

Matt Greenwood voted for change. In this case, change meant the Green candidate in the Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo riding voting for someone other

than himself. Greenwood’s ballot did not elect Kamloops’ member of Parliament, but it was change he wanted and it was change Canada got — in the form of a Liberal majority government. “It’s not a

Conservative government,” he told KTW at the Greens’ Kamloops headquarters, Painted Pony restaurant on Victoria Street, where about 15 supporters gathered and watched the results on TV. “I’m not too unhappy that the Liberals came through,” he said. “There were actually things in the Liberal platform that I prefer to things in the NDP platform.” Green supporter Ken Jones was at the Painted Pony, but he cast a ballot for NDP candidate Bill Sundhu. “If I voted Green, my vote wouldn’t really count,” he said. “I’d just be stealing a vote from the NDP.” Jones said he is skeptical about what a Liberal majority government might look like. “I’m shocked,” he said. “I can’t believe it. “I feel like the Liberal party has a history of saying one thing and doing another.” Even though he didn’t put an X beside his own name, as of KTW deadline, more than 2,000 voters in the Kamloops-Thompson-

Cariboo riding did cast ballots for Greenwood. One of them was Coun. Donovan Cavers, himself a former Green candidate. “I have mixed feelings about it,” Cavers said. “I’m happy from an environmental perspective that the Conservatives did not get re-elected, but I would have preferred to have seen a minority for more forced collaboration in Parliament.” Speaking with his city councillor hat on, Cavers said Cathy McLeod’s re-election is not a bad thing for Kamloops — though it might be harder for her to bring money to the community as an opposition MP. “I haven’t had that many dealings with her directly but, from what I’ve heard, the relationship with [former Conservative MP] Betty Hinton was a lot less constructive,” Cavers said. “For the most part, as an individual, I think she’s done a really good job. “I just don’t agree with her party.”

A defence lawyer has raised questions about the treatment of a Kamloops man accused of setting a deadly house fire in 2013. David Gordon is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court in Kamloops on one count of manslaughter and two counts of causing damage by fire or explosion. His trial, before a 12-person jury, began last week.

Cheryl William died following a blaze at 927 St. Paul Street in downtown Kamloops on April 25, 2013. Former RCMP Const. Rose Dunsmore testified she arrested Gordon for criminal negligence causing death less than an hour after the fire — despite the fact William didn’t die until four days later. Dunsmore said she was told by her watch commander to arrest Gordon for criminal negligence causing death. She said she did

not know at the time whether William was alive, noting she was acting “in good faith.” “Did you know at the time that no one had died?” defence lawyer Ken Tessovitch asked. “No, I did not,” Dunsmore replied. “As an experienced police officer, you understand the importance of arresting someone for the correct offence?” Tessovitch asked. “That’s correct,” Dunsmore replied. Dunsmore has since quit her job as an

RCMP officer. The jury has previously been told Gordon set a box of clothes on fire in his bedroom after having an argument with his girlfriend. William was a visitor at his house. The jury has heard she could not be awoken as the fire started to spread. The jury is expected to hear Gordon’s audio-recorded confession today. The trial is slated to continue for two weeks.

Sentence upsets crash victim’s sister ANDREA KLASSEN AND CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTERS

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

Calling it among the most difficult sentence hearings, a provincial court judge has handed a $2,000 fine and a two-year driving ban to a Williams Lake man who drifted into the oncoming lane of Highway 5 North in Kamloops, resulting in a crash that paralyzed his passenger and killed another driver. “Mr. Watt in all likelihood fell asleep,” provincial court Judge Chris Cleaveley said in his Sept. 17 sentencing decision. Timothy Watson, 54, of Kamloops was pronounced dead on the scene of the June 9, 2014, crash. Mitchell Watt of Williams Lake pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention under the Motor Vehicle Act. Cleaveley sentenced Watt to a two-year driving ban and gave him a $2,000 fine, the maximum under the act. Neither speed nor alcohol were factors in the crash. Watt told Cleaveley during his submission that he wanted to keep his driving ban to a minimum so he could continue to take his friend, Brayden Methot, for outings. Methot was partially paralyzed in the afternoon crash that occurred when Watt’s southbound

pickup drifted into the oncoming highway lane. The 24-year-old partsman at a motorcycle dealership told the sentencing judge he has no explanation how the accident occurred. Watt has a long driving record that includes infractions for speeding and driving bans. “I’m still trying to figure out what happened,” he told Cleaveley. Watt acknowledged his three friends travelling with him were sleeping, but said he has pulled over in past when he felt tired behind the wheel. Watson’s sister, Cynthia Hutchison, told KTW she is outraged Watt did not face criminal charges for ending her brother’s life. Hutchison described Watson, a longtime worker at the Tolko mill, as a man with “a heart of gold. He wouldn’t hurt a fly.”

She said she worried the penalty handed down isn’t strong enough to prevent Watt from making similar driving decisions in the future and criticized the Crown for not following up on what she said was a year of investigation by police. “Tim mattered and he’s getting treated like he did not matter,” she said. Watt said he lives 30 minutes west of Williams Lake and will have to move in order to get to work once he is banned from driving. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that momentary lapses of attention by drivers do not constitute dangerous driving causing death under the Criminal Code. “These are the most difficult sentencing cases, impossible for the family, accused or the court,” Cleaveley said. “It’s impossible to craft the right sentence.”

Garbage bags stuffed with clothes and tucked beside rocks, a telltale depression in grass made by a tent and another in the shape of a sleeping bag are signs the North Thompson riverbank is home to people without a home. Nearly all of them opt to live outside, at least before the onset of winter. Many will stay through the coldest months. “We get a lot of transients in the summer and they live along the riverbank,” said Ken Salter, who has headed the annual homeless count for ASK Wellness for nearly a decade. “September and October comes along, it cools and they go to the Coast. It’s easier to survive.” For Alex Joseph, one of the 65 volunteers who gathered on Friday at 7 a.m. to fan out and count the people

sleeping outside, the walk along the river is a familiar one. “This is where we used to drink,” Joseph says as he points to a grassy shelf overlooking the river. The terrain is not only familiar to Joseph, it’s fresh. If the count had occurred two months ago, volunteers would have found him beneath Overlanders Bridge, where he would rise at 4:30 a.m. to drink the remnants of his Colt 45 beer. Farther up the river, volunteers headed by Thompson Rivers University socialwork student Liz Lockwood find a scattering of clothes on a bench tucked under dense shrubs on the bank along the North Thompson River, north from the confluence. “Ramona? Ramona?” calls Joseph to no answer. “She does a little heroin, eh.” Joseph, like many

First Nations people who will be counted this year, has a legacy from the residential school system. He was pulled from his family at Lake Babine and put into a school in Fraser Lake. A natural and easy talker, he cannot speak the Carrier language, but does know low German from one of the many foster homes he lived in as a boy. The 58-year-old was himself a drug and alcohol counsellor who lived in Granisle in northern B.C. He fell into alcoholism recently, his only belongings a backpack, usually filled with beer and wine. “I was prepared,” he said with a laugh. Joseph and the three other volunteers dispatched by Salter to comb the riverbank find only signs of homeless people. Their tally is zero. Yesterday, Salter said the official number of

people found living outside was 108 — 80 men and 28 women. Others, unseen, are couch-surfing and won’t be captured in the count. “Sept. 4, 2015,” Joseph declared. That’s the date he graduated from a sixweek counselling program at the Round Lake Treatment Centre in Armstrong. He got there after wandering into the Emerald House shelter in downtown Kamloops and entering a detox program. He now lives in Valleyview through social housing provided by the John Howard Society. He jogs into North Kamloops most days, his backpack now empty of booze. Salter said people sleeping outside this fall and winter have refused offers of housing. “They know about us and our housing program,” he said. “They’re not interested.”

Salter said the typical response from those declining help is, “‘there’s no bills, no landlord and you do whatever you want.’” Joseph has friends living outside. “They’ve got to want it,” he said.

DAWNING OF NEW POLITICAL ERA?

anadians woke up today to a new Parliament — the 42nd in this country’s history. There are voters rising today with triumph in their step. There are those wiping their eyes and wondering why their choice for government was not embraced by enough

voters. There are those encouraged by an improvement at the polls and those with a need to determine why support declined for their party of choice. There are politicians experiencing the once-in-a-lifetime thrill of becoming an MP and there are politicians beginning the day with the “former” MP tag firmly affixed to their names. There are leaders eying the future with verve and there are leaders pondering their political future. The election campaign was long, 78 bruising days that started in the sweltering heat of summer and ended amid the crisp air of autumn, a campaign as notable for its ability to re-engage voters as for its absolute nastiness. Character assassinations, attack ads and outright lies were all too common as the main political parties fought desperately for the crown in what was widely expected to be among the closest races in Canada’s political history. Yesterday’s election occurred four years after the previous vote. The next election may take place sooner than any of us can imagine. In the meantime, as campaign workers and volunteers tend to their election battle scars, it is time for a reconciliation of sorts. The people have spoken and the colour-code that comprises the 338 seats in the House of Commons is the will of the electorate. It is therefore the duty of those elected, those who are compensated handsomely for the privilege of serving, to manage this great country with the respect and maturity it deserves.

Get real about trade deals

s the dust settles from yesterday’s federal election, to paraphrase former prime minister Kim Campbell, it’s time to talk about serious issues again. The Conservatives were hoping to make 2015 a free-trade election by signing onto the world’s largest trade deal at the end of July. Things didn’t go as planned at the talks in Maui and Canada was among the players that walked away from the TransPacific Partnership (TPP) table at that time. Then came five days of round-the-clock negotiations in Atlanta, with the U.S. pushing for a deal with Japan, Korea, Australia and other Pacific Rim powerhouses to normalize trade in 40 per cent of the world’s economy. The TPP came together at the end of September. Canada and B.C. essentially got what our governments were demanding, which was broad access to Pacific Rim markets and continued protection for nearly all of domestic dairy, poultry and egg markets. Also preserved was B.C.’s regulated market for logs and U.S. lumber sales. The 200-kilogram gorilla of the TPP burst out in the heat of the election campaign and the Campbell rule was demonstrated again. Much of the discussion revolved around alleged secrecy, as the legal text of the deal won’t be out for some time to come. Protected farmers downed

VICTORIA their pitchforks, counting their blessings and their guaranteed compensation. The NDP was forced to come out against the TPP, as it was against trade deals with the U.S., Mexico, Europe and others. But, it’s getting lonely for them as the rest of the world moves on. Within days of the TPP deal, the World Bank issued one of its periodic reports on extreme poverty, which it defines as an income of less than US$1.90 a day. It reported that 2015 is the first year when fewer than 10 per cent of the world’s people remain below this global poverty line, down from 12.8 per cent in 2012. It’s easy for comfortable First World folks to protest conditions in running-shoe and cellphone factories in India or China, but the graph of extreme poverty in those countries shows steep decline since 1990. Trade and technology are lifting up the poorest of the world. For B.C., withdrawing from Pacific Rim trade is unthinkable. We worry a lot about lumber

and copper and natural gas, but the TPP also opens up huge markets for services, where much of our economic future awaits. The question for us is simple: Can we compete in health sciences, engineering, architecture, digital media and information technology? Do we want to? The TPP doesn’t change B.C.’s dependency on the United States. As with the North American Free Trade Agreement, our vital lumber trade remains under a separate agreement, which expired on Oct. 1. I’m told by federal and provincial officials that, at this stage, the U.S. isn’t even taking our calls on the softwood-lumber agreement, which Canada and B.C. want extended. Americans are preoccupied with the TPP and domestic politics. After decades of bitter legal actions from the American industry, the latest softwood deal has provided a rough peace. It set a floor price for B.C.’s allegedly subsidized lumber exports, with an export tax collected by Canada when the price went below the floor of $355 per thousand board feet. That money went back into our government general revenue. Higher prices meant no export tax was collected through 2014 and early 2015 —and only five per cent as of September. Now that the agreement is expired, by default we have actual free trade in lumber for up to the next year. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ONLINE VOTING CARRIES TOO MUCH RISK Editor: Re: Brian Husband’s letter of Oct. 13 (‘It is high time we are able to vote online’): I am a computer-systems analyst. I follow the risks list, which covers computer-related risks. You can find an archive online at http://catless.ncl.ac.uk/Risks. One common topic is problems with online voting. There are a lot of problems in this area. Husband’s example of applying for a mortgage is rather simple compared to online voting. There is oversight. That mortgage application is not going to be to approved without some human intervention. A mortgage application can be viewed by

various authorized people. They can perform various checks to ensure the application is acceptable. On the other hand, who is authorized to see how one voted? They would have to be able to do that to ensure a vote was recorded correctly. Would Husband be willing to have others know how he voted? Our voting system does not work that way — and for good reason. But, a system with anonymity is much harder to check. In the case of online voting, the idea is to get rid of the people counting. What happens when something goes wrong? What happens if someone tries to rig the election?

How do we know the computer recorded votes accurately? What is to stop someone from coding in such a way that the program appears to behave properly during testing, but does something else in an actual election? Those who think this sort of rigging cannot happen are invited to read up on recent coverage on how Volkswagen rigged emissionscontrol testing. Computers are flexible tools. Like any tool, a computer can be used for good purposes or evil purposes. I prefer to stick with column A, please. Gene Wirchenko Kamloops

WHO INDEED WILL SPEAK FOR THE TREES? Editor: I was descending Hillside Drive near Aberdeen Mall and could not miss the sight of a city worker apparently watering the ash (Fraxinus) trees on the road median. I stopped to ask what he was up to. He replied he was “fertilizing” the trees in anticipation of the next growth season. A laudable endeavour, indeed. Suffice to say the trees in questions have completely shed their leaves. Therefore, their nutritional uptake is

extremely close to zero. Also, roots systems do not store fertilizer. They store carbohydrates, which are manufactured in the leaves, leaves that are now gone. Furthermore, a fertilizer application at this time of the year is a waste because, by the time the trees returns to growth mode next spring, the fertilizer applied now will be almost completely leached away. Another point is fertilizer (and water, for that matter) needs to be applied to the outer layer of the drip line of

the tree because that is where the fine absorbent roots are. An application closer to the trunk of a tree is poor practice. Above all, there are better practices for improving trees’ health. Noteworthy is the fact the Fraxinus trees are non-native and are planted in a non-irrigated road median. I remember quite vividly these trees were struggling throughout the growing season — and for obvious reasons. I am offering two suggestions. First of all, the city,

in its infinite (or lack thereof) wisdom,should strive to properly plant material more suitable to the conditions. Secondly, a better use of resources should be to target the myriad small, medium and large invasive ugly trees that are not-so-slowly creeping up everywhere, causing problems to our infrastructure and stunning the natural ecosystem. If the past is any indication of future performance, a condescending attitude will prevail. Pierre Filisetti Kamloops

HONESTY PREVAILED Editor: Re: My letter of Oct. 2 regarding losing money at the Valleyview Tim Hortons (‘Dear ladies: Here is how you can return my money’): Good news. I got a phone call from the lady who found the money. She informed me the money had been returned to the Tim Hortons store. I checked with the staff of Timmy’s and they had indeed received the money. They also mentioned there was a lot of good comment regarding my initial letter to the editor. My thanks to the ladies whose honesty led them to turning in money they found. Robert Allaire Kamloops

The dollar dilemma dissected STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bad news is good news for Interior exporters selling lumber, copper, pulp or any other product. The plummeting loonie, which slid below US75 cents last month before popping up more than two cents, where it hovered yesterday, makes those companies more competitive because the market is based on the American dollar. “It’s good for exporters in general, no matter the industry,” said local forester and former Venture Kamloops president Chris Ortner. “When the dollar goes down and you’re getting 11 per cent more [since January] for your products, it’s going to be useful.” Lumber prices are hovering near the level where they are penalized under the softwood-lumber accord with the United States. For base and

precious metal producers, including Highland Valley Copper and New Gold Inc., the slide in the dollar counteracts slumping prices. In the United States, some producers have slowed production or shuttered mines in response to commodity prices. Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Steve Earl said the city’s tourism industry is a major benefactor of a weak Canadian dollar. Canadians are more likely to stay at home, while Americans are getting 30 per cent more for their dollar. “You’ll see certainly more Americans looking north for ski holidays,” Earl said. The head of Tourism Sun Peaks, Christopher Nicolson, said the mountain is seeing early interest from American visitors based on bookings of ski clubs from states including Florida and Texas. Those groups post requests for proposals

and book earlier than typical tourists. “Our first indication is U.S. ski clubs,” Nicolson said. “They’re pricesensitive. They book in advance. As the dollar slides, our attractiveness increases.” Based on early indications and interest from south of the border, Nicolson said he expects to see another significant increase in American skiers, particularly from Washington state. Some retailers,

however, will feel the pain from the loonie’s decline. “If you’re a retailer and you’re buying product from the United States and paying 10 to 15 per cent more than a year ago, it’s difficult for you to offset that,” Earl said. Jack Juusola, who operates two Canadian Tire franchises in the city, said the dollar’s weakness has not

affected prices that customers see on store shelves. “So far, nothing,” he said of the loonie’s impact. “Canadian Tire Corp. does all our buying. “They’ve hedged the dollar well against these things.” But, he acknowledged, over time, any product priced in U.S. dollars will feel the

weight of the weak loonie. That can be counteracted by cutting costs and looking for other supply. “As we go further and further, it will be more and more difficult,” Juusola said. In the late 1990s, with the dollar hovering at the 68-cent level, local economic promoters touted establishment of secondary wood manufacturers in the region. That effort, however, failed to attract significant interest and many existing firms were forced to close as the loonie started to rise over the next decade. Ortner said any rekindled interest in manufacturing will require entrepreneurs willing to take risk, a secure source of timber and the Canadian dollar to stay low for much longer.

ADVICE & INFORMATION

Q. How to recognize when you are in denial about your parents’ health? It’s difcult to face facts when a loved one is declining cognitively or physically. We may not want to admit it. Denial generally involves a lack of acknowledgement or understanding of something going on. “Mom’s just not feeling well today. If I give her time she’ll bounce back.” Understanding denial and why it occurs is an important step in recognizing whether we are experiencing it. Denial is a normal human reaction and often is a way of coping with emotional conict, stress and anxiety. Becoming aware of denial is important in moving forward. It can be an opportunity to change a situation for the better. Often healthcare providers want to support individuals and family members but the family members don’t recognize more support is needed. We may not even be conscious of our inability to accept the situation. There are signs to watch for if you’ve got a loved one whose health is declining:

• Ignoring signs of a health problem. • Pretending nothing has changed. • Rationalizing behavior. Watch for this column next week on Moving Past Denial and Implementing Coping Strategies.

Judge stems pot fine amount Despite the Crown asking for a $500 fine to be levied against a Clinton man busted with 120 grams of marijuana earlier this year, he will only have to pay $50 thanks to the charitable decision of a Kamloops judge. Branden Aleck pleaded guilty in Kamloops provincial court on Thursday to possession of cannabis. Court heard the 27-year-old was arrested following a traffic

stop in Clinton on May 30. An RCMP officer pulled over a Honda Civic with burned-out headlights and detected an odour of weed. Aleck, a passenger in the vehicle, was found to be in possession of a bag containing 120 grams of marijuana. Federal Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi asked for a $500 fine — roughly the value of Aleck’s stash.

But, after a brief back-andforth with the self-represented accused, Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickey slashed the Crown suggestion by 90 per cent. Aleck told court his only income is a $235 government cheque he receives each month, noting he is trying to pay child support out of that sum. Dickey gave Aleck until March 2016 to pay his fine.

Yes, this cowboy even stole the kitchen sink TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops-area cowboy who rustled cattle to sell on Kijiji, stole furniture and even made off with a kitchen sink will have to wait a couple of weeks to find out how long he’ll stay behind bars. Jason McDowell pleaded guilty to cattle theft and three counts of theft under $5,000 in Kamloops provincial court on Friday. Court heard the 37-year-old farm manager and mechanic had been working and living on a cattle farm in the Cache Creek area in the summer of 2014 when he suddenly disappeared. McDowell took with him more than $5,000 worth of furniture from the company-furnished home in which he had been living with his wife and six children. He also took a new kitchen sink, tools and a piece of machinery. Court heard he left behind a $6,000 bill for personal expenses on a company credit card. The family headed to Alberta, where McDowell found work on another cattle farm in the Hanna area, 200 kilometres east

of Calgary. In March, when his employer was on vacation, McDowell listed 10 of the farm’s branded cattle for sale on Kijiji. He sold them to an unsuspecting buyer for $20,000. When the employer returned to the farm, he found a note from McDowell saying he had quit. The farm owner called police and reported his cattle stolen. McDowell was on the lam until July, when he was arrested in Kamloops. He’s been in custody since. Court heard the cattle have been returned to their rightful owner, but McDowell’s $20,000 has not been recovered. Crown prosecutor Will Burrows said McDowell’s crimes involved plenty of preparation. “Mr. McDowell placed them on Kijiji, so he clearly thought about this,” he said. “He put the cattle for sale on Kijiji and then sold them while his boss was out of town. It’s pretty cold conduct. “He is, in my submission, essentially a man without conscience.” McDowell has a lengthy criminal history, including multiple

convictions for fraud and theft dating back to 1997. Burrows asked Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickey for a three-year sentence in a federal penitentiary. McDowell pleaded for two years of house arrest so he can start paying off his $11,000 restitution bill. “I understand what I did was criminal, selfish and hurtful,” he said. “I am extremely sorry for the pain and suffering that I’ve caused.

“I’m humbled, I’m broken down and I ask for a chance. I won’t mess it up.” Court heard the owner of the Alberta ranch is launching a civil suit against McDowell. The farm’s owner claims more than 10 cattle were rustled. Dickey said he needs at least two weeks to decide on a sentence. McDowell is due back in court to set a date for sentencing on Oct. 19.

Kamloops firefighter David Sakaki in the warehouse where goods destined for Nicaragua are stored. Sakaki and the Kamloops Fire Fighters Charitable Society started Operation Nicaragua in 2009.

Sakaki receives Paul Harris Community Award The Rotary Club of Kamloops West has awarded Kamloops Fire Rescue firefighter David Sakaki the prestigious Paul Harris Community Award, which recognizes exceptional service in the local and global communities. Sakaki and the Kamloops Fire Fighters Charitable Society started Operation Nicaragua in 2009. The initiative saw the shipping of fire trucks and shipping containers to Nicaragua, containers that held much-needed equipment, such as wheelchairs,

hospital beds, clothing and many other items. They have delivered more than 12 fire trucks and 12 containers over the course of Operation Nicaragua. Sakaki has also provided fire education and training to Nicaraguans during his many yearly visits to the Central American country. Sakaki has also provided a variety of other volunteer services in other countries during the past decade, including the Philippines in 2009 to help with the typhoon disaster.

This past spring, Sakaki travelled to Nepal following the earthquake disaster, just a few short days after returning from Nicaragua. He spent two weeks with another volunteer organization, Global Medic, helping set up water stations and aiding the displaced. Locally, Sakaki has been involved in several initiatives, including Kamloops Fire Rescue’s January 2012 campaign to deliver more than 100 sleeping bags and blankets to the homeless.

Higher limits, not higher speeds STONE SAYS MOTORISTS ARE DRIVING LEGALLY JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

Todd Stone might have made headlines for speeding this past summer, but he said increased speed limits throughout the province aren’t encouraging the same from drivers. Since the Ministry of Transportation adjusted the restrictions on various highways in July, it has been monitoring traffic weekly. Stone, the province’s transportation minister and MLA for Kamloops-South Thompson, said the increases were based on the speed at which majority of vehicles travel and the natural flow of traffic. On the Coquihalla Highway, research showed that rate to be 127km/h in a 110km/h zone. Since raising the limit to 120km/h, Stone said drivers are still averaging 127km/h. “People are not driving faster, but they are driving legally now,” he said. “We’ve saved a lot of British Columbians a lot of money in fines.” Speaking to members of the Canadian Home Builders Association Central Interior at their monthly meeting, Stone said after two-and-a-half years in office, he is now seeing major projects through.

Those were crazy days for the band. “You know, when you’re younger, you want to change the world. You’re just going for it,” he said. “But, when you’re touring and you’re in your 20s and you come up against problems, well, I used to fight with Tyler all the time.”

Trigger points, often a component of myofascial pain syndrom, are irritable, hard ‘knots’ within a muscle that may cause pain over a large area. Dry needling may release the tight muscle bands and decrease pain. IMS (Intra-Muscular Stimulation) is a treatment technique that uses fine solid needles (acupuncture-like needles) to treat tight, shortened, tensed-up muscles, muscle bands which are contributing towards abnormal function of the nervous system.

the plane going over and thinking ‘Oh man, we just got the kids to school, my wife’s going to be grinding just to make it all work and I’m over here.’ “But, after the first show, again, I’m lucky to have this. After 27 years, people are still coming back to see us. That’s a huge deal. Not many musicians can say that.” Creeggan’s also thrilled to have Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea opening for the band. “I just finished his book [Where I Belong],” Creeggan said. “You can tell he’s got a lot more stories than he’s told. So, I’ll get out the Guinness and I’ll be racking his brain. ‘Hey Alan, about that fisherman who had that fish hook in his hand.’ It’s going to be fun.”

While Canadian voters took to the polls yesterday for the federal election, Kamloops youngsters practised excercising their democratic rights in schools throughout the city last week. More than 500,000 students across the country participated in National Student Vote Week from Oct. 13 to Oct. 16, which included a parallel election

with authentic materials. At Kamloops Christian School, Grade 4 through Grade 12 students took part, including Grade 5 student Cole Bellamy (above). Meanwhile, Braden Olsen, Lyndsay Hanghofer and Kendal Aschuck were polling clerks (bottom left) at Westsyde secondary, where students lined up to cast their ballots (right).

DENTAL IMPLANTS?! IS IT THE END OF YOUR PROBLEMS?

Recently I had a patient consult on an infected dental implant. Reviewing the causes of implant infection with her...she was shocked to hear that an implant Dr. Preety Desai could get infected or even have a problem! She was led to believe that once an implant replaces a tooth - only happy days ahead! Wrong! Dental implants do have a high success rate - but those remaining in the mouth after 10 years are 10-20% less than those placed in people’s mouths! Survival only occurs if done according to strict protocol and guidelines: 1. Absence of Gum Disease - Worldwide, people lose their teeth more often due to gum disease. More importantly though, they lose the bone that used to hold the tooth in your jaw. Once this bone is lost, foundation work is necessary to regain this bone in order to place dental implants. But most importantly if you have natural teeth still remaining with gum disease, this will infect the dental implant reducing implant success by 20%! 2. Oral Care and Flossing - Dental implants need to be taken care of just like natural teeth , this diligence cannot be ignored as you can with natural teeth. Dental implants are not forgiving like natural teeth... once you get plaque and tartar around dental implants - the bone will unzip much faster than teeth. The flossing technique is even different than teeth! 3. Night Guard & Bite - Studies show that the majority people clench or brux their teeth at some point in their lives and contrary to popular belief..... it is NOT stress related. As such dental implants are not forgiving and great skill and knowledge needs to be implemented in designing the crown on the dental implant. 4. Regular Follow up - Dental implants need regular check ups and follow up more so than teeth. Because once a problem starts, it progress rapidly and thus must be caught early and checked regularly 5. Costly to fix - A recent European study showed that dental implants cost 8 times more over your lifetime to place, maintain and fix if problems arise. Isn’t it better to maintain and keep your teeth today? Keeping your teeth compared to 5 years ago is possible with modern laser treatment! 6. Implant Brand - When problems arise, it is 3-7 years after the implant is placed and so make sure you know which brand is placed in your mouth, if you move cities. You really need to do your homework as to which company has manufactured your dental implant and get the part numbers. You would not spend the money for a Tesla and be happy with a Pontiac would you? All dental implants are not priced the same and only a few have the research of high success behind them - when you get a success rate quote of 95%+ make sure it is for that particular brand. There are over 500+ dental implant manufacturers in the world and most are copy cat brands of the top researched implants most of which cannot get FDA or health Canada approval! With so many dentists and treatment options today it is extremely important to question your dentist on many different levels: from experience, the follow up protocol provided and what materials are used or can they fix the problem, if an infection sets in? Good Questions to ask!

‘Moment of a lifetime’ MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

ONLY $325

ven in defeat, Parker Matheson was able to soak in the moment. “It was a tough loss but, Friday Night Lights, nothing could be better,” said Matheson, whose Westsyde Blue Wave fell 38-9 to the South Kamloops Titans in AA senior B.C. High School Football action on Friday. “It was definitely the biggest game of our lives, out here in front of our peers having a good time.” The third annual Warner Rentals Friday Night Lights showdown, played in front of about 2,000 fans at Westsyde secondary, remained close throughout the first half, but the Titans pulled away after the break. South Kamloops was led by the tandem of quarterback Ben MacDonald and all-purpose threat Trey Isaac, which hooked up on three touchdown passes. “It’s the moment of a lifetime,” MacDonald told KTW after the game, surrounded by current

teammates and school alumni. “It’s the funnest thing I’ve ever done.” Isaac kicked three extra points and booted a lengthy field goal that would have been good from 50 yards. He also intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown, which was called back due to an illegal block. “He’s a stud,” MacDonald said of Isaac. “That’s all I can say.” Reece Barber was also a force for the Titans. He ran for two touchdowns — one of them a 70-yard foray down the sidelines in the fourth quarter that saw him showboat in front of South Kam fans, many of whom were wearing flashing Red Devils’ horns. Westsyde’s only touchdown of the game came late in the first half, when quarterback Devon Konst connected with Marlo Buholzer, who scampered into paydirt. Blue Wave kicker Branden Lys added a 15-yard field goal as time winded down in the first half to make the score 17-9 in the Titans’ favour. Konst was injured in the third quarter and replaced at quarterback by Matheson, who carried the bulk of the

load for the Blue Wave in a spirited losing effort. “I just tried to rally the guys,” Matheson said. Each of the six bleachers provided by the City of Kamloops were packed and spectators were treated to a halftime show by The Infectuals, a Kamloops band featuring Westsyde alumni. Former students from each team had the opportunity to buy retro jerseys bearing their name and number, threads worn by the players on Friday night, the Titans transforming into the Kam High Red Devils, the Blue Wave into the Whundas. After the game, the jerseys were returned to their purchasers before players current and past gathered for pictures under the goal posts. “It’s been a great day,” Titans’ head coach Dean MacDonald said. “We had an awesome pep rally at the school and they just loved this whole Red Devil experience.” The Titans’ QB did not offer much when asked how his team planned to celebrate, but the look in his eyes suggested the party was just getting started. “Hey, who knows. The night is young,” MacDonald said.

Recently-hired Kamloops Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor sent his team a message on Friday night in Seattle. “He just said, ‘If you want to move on, you need to start preparing better and focusing better,’” said Matt Revel, whose Blazers were thumped 7-2 that evening by the hometown Thunderbirds. “He challenged us older guys and Don [Kamloops head coach Don Hay] challenged the leaders to perform, as well.” The pep talk seemed to work as the Blazers (2-7) rebounded with a 5-1 victory over the hometown Spokane Chiefs on Saturday. “Right from the getgo in Seattle, we weren’t ready,” said Revel, a 19-year-old forward from Abbotsford. “On Saturday night, we were the opposite right from the start.” MacGregor pulled the trigger on a deal last week that saw 20-year-old forward Gage Quinney come to Kamloops from Kelowna. The Las Vegas product scored a goal in Seattle and registered a goal and two helpers against Spokane. Local fans will get their first look at Quinney in a Blazers’ uniform tomorrow when the Victoria Royals (7-3) come to town. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre. Victoria, 3-0 against Kamloops this season, is tied atop the B.C. Division with the

Kelowna Rockets. “They’ve got a lot of guys that are playing well and that [Alex] Forsberg line has been really good,” Revel said. “And, Hicketts is always a good, solid defenceman.” River City product Joe Hicketts leads the Royals in scoring with 10 points, all of them assists. Forsberg, a centre, and left-winger Jack Walker are tied for second with nine points apiece. Kamloops forward Deven Sideroff (virus), 18, is practising with the team and will likely return to the lineup this week, perhaps tomorrow. Sixteen-year-old blue-liner Conner McDonald (upperbody) returned against Spokane. Revel knows the Blazers need to improve on their home record (1-3) if they are going to dig themselves out of the Western Conference basement. The game tomorrow night marks the beginning of a fivegame homestand, with Calgary, Prince George, Lethbridge and Spokane set to visit Sandman Centre before the Blazers drive to Vancouver to play the Giants on Nov. 6. “That’s something that we’ve been talking about — getting the mentality that we’re going to make it tough on the teams that come into our barn,” Revel said.

The Kamloops Storm have never had a start like this. Through the year’s first 14 games — about one-quarter of the KIJHL regular season — the Storm are 12-1-0-1, picking up at least a point in 13 of 14 games. In the franchise’s 10 years in the Tournament Capital — a span that has seen the club reach the league final five times — the Storm have never had more than 20 points a quarter of the way through the season. This year, they have 25. But, what might be more surprising than anything is the club’s head coach still believes his team has more to give. “The only thing that surprises me is we’re still not satisfied with this group. They have so much to give and the talent level is so high on the team,” Ed Patterson said. As the Storm selected their team for the 2015-2016 season, they were quick to temper expectations with both recruits and media: We think we’ll be a really good team by Christmastime, they said. It appears Christmas has come early. Despite a roster that

boasts 20 junior hockey rookies, the Storm are atop the KIJHL, ahead of the defending champion Kimberley Dynamiters, who returned nearly their entire championship squad for this season. The Storm have four players in the top 20 in league scoring — Dario Piva, Dante Raposo, Tre Sales and Robb Johnson — and arguably one of the top goaltenders in junior B hockey in Tavin Grant. “When you only have one returning player from a team, you don’t

expect to go that far,” said Storm general manager Barry Dewar. “When we recruited this team, we were saying to the boys as we were signing them that, by Christmastime, we’ll be a really good team. “By Christmastime, I think we’re going to be a very, very good team.” Patterson admitted he has been surprised by how quickly the wins have come, but smart money won’t expect him to let up on his expectations for player development. This team has cham-

pionship aspirations and its coach is going to push his players to get there. “We’re going to measure ourselves as a championship team — the quicker we get there, the quicker we can push past what we think it’s going to take and be even better,” he said. “I think what we’ve done in the past, Kyle [assistant coach Panasuk] and I, we’ve been happy with their baby steps and at the end of season we look back and think we should have taken bigger steps. So, this year, we decided we’re pushing these guys from the get go, harder than any team we’ve ever pushed.” Dewar credits Patterson’s coaching, as well as the players’ willingness to do whatever is asked of them. Patterson credits the club’s willingness to work. “They’re putting good efforts forward, they’re working hard, it’s just sometimes we’re not working smart,” he said. “We’re digging a hole

five times and filling it back up six,” he said. Kamloops posted two weekend wins at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre — 2-1 over Summerland on Friday and 4-1 over Princeton on Saturday. The Storm are next in action on Friday, when Osoyoos comes to town. Game time is 7 p.m. at McArthur. Brett Watkinson, the team’s captain and lone returning player from 2014-2015, said the Storm are a club that believes they can beat anyone the league’s schedule can throw at them. “Right now, yeah, we can,” Watkinson said. “It feels good to win, for sure. We’ve just got to keep going. We can’t stop.”

SUN DISMANTLE BRONCOS IN BCFC SEMIFINAL They are ranked No. 1 in the country for a reason and the Okanagan Sun showed no mercy on the Kamloops Broncos in a B.C. Football Conference semifinal in Kelowna on Sunday, The Sun, who posted a 10-0 regularseason record, led 40-0 at halftime and cruised to a 75-7 victory over the Broncos at the Apple Bowl. Kamloops lost the league’s top run-

ning back, Jacob Palmarin, to injury on the first play of the game and the Broncos were never able to find their passing game. Meanwhile, Okanagan was firing on all cylinders, finishing the game with 605 yards of total offence. The Sun will square off against the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo in the Cullen Cup final on Sunday, with the

winner advancing to the national junior football championship game. Game time is 1 p.m. at the Apple Bowl. Vancouver Island edged the visiting Langley Rams 28-27 on Saturday. The Broncos posted a 5-5 record in the regular season and advanced to the playoffs for the third straight year. Kamloops, which joined the BCFC in 2007, has yet to win a post-season game.

TRIPLE G WINS BIG TIM DAHLBERG

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

NEW YORK — Gennady Golovkin gave a slight bow and apologized to David Lemieux after hitting him while he was on the canvas in the fifth round of their middleweight title fight. Golovkin could afford to be magnanimous. Everything else he did was nearly perfect Saturday night when he staked his claim as boxing’s best before a sold-out crowd on the big stage of Madison Square Garden. In a coming-out party of sorts, Golovkin battered Lemieux at will before referee Steve Griffith mercifully stopped the fight in the eighth round with the Canadian taking a beating on the ropes. It was yet another impressive performance from a fighter many are starting to notice as he knocks out almost everyone who steps in the ring with him. More important, it sets up a possible bout that has boxing fans salivating: Triple G against the winner of the Nov. 21 middleweight title clash between Canelo Alvarez and Miguel Cotto. “This fight puts him at the next level,’’ promoter Tom Loeffler said. “He’s at the top of the sport.

There’s probably only one other fighter now who can fill Madison Square Garden and that is Cotto.’’ The bout wowed a crowd of 20,548 that included Republican presidential front-runner Donald Trump. Former middleweight champion Bernard Hopkins has seen a lot in his years in the sport and believes the man who beat the fighter he was promoting is something special. “He’s poisonous,’’ Hopkins said. “He’s patient.’’ Golovkin plans to be ringside in Las Vegas for the Alvarez-Cotto fight next month, with the hope of meeting the winner in the spring. That bout, if it happens, would likely be on Cinco de Mayo weekend, which in the past has been reserved for Floyd Mayweather Jr. fights. With Mayweather now retired, the middleweight division could be in the spotlight. Golovkin, who has had trouble coaxing fighters in the ring against him, is suddenly a very marketable fighter. With millions of dollars at stake, some may take the challenge against the devastating puncher. “At least now nobody can use the excuse they can’t get paid to fight Gennady,’’ Loeffler said. “That excuse is gone now.’’

Ref was wrong JOHN PYE

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LONDON — Rugby’s governing body says referee Craig Joubert made an error in awarding Australia a late penalty that was successfully converted to clinch a 35-34 victory over Scotland in the Rugby World Cup quarterfinals on Sunday. Joubert penalized Scotland prop Jon Welsh for playing the ball following a knock-on by a teammate, resulting in an offside decision which caused outrage among fans and former players in Britain. Following a review of all camera angles, World Rugby said yes-

terday Welsh had been played onside because the ball was touched by Australia’s Nick Phipps and that the call should have been a scrum to Australia. The incident occurred in the 78th minute and Australia flyhalf Bernard Foley landed the clinching goal in the last minute. Joubert couldn’t ask the television match official for a review, because referrals can only be sought when awarding a try or assessing acts of foul play. The semifinal matchups are set, with New Zealand to scrum down against South Africa on Saturday, and Australia to play Argentina on Sunday.

PRICE NETS AWARD NEW YORK — Montreal goaltender Carey Price has been named the NHL’s first star of the week after helping the Canadiens to their best start since joining the league. Price went 3-0-0 with a 1.00 goals-against average, .963 save percentage and one shutout as the Canadiens improved to 6-0-0, their best start in their 98-year NHL history. He began the week with 31 saves in a 3-2 victory over Pittsburgh and followed that performance by stopping 25 shots in his 35th career shutout, a 3-0 triumph over the New York Rangers. He closed the week with 21 stops in a 4-1 victory over Detroit. Dallas forward Tyler Seguin was named the week’s second star with three goals and four assists in three games. St. Louis forward Vladimir Tarasenko took thirdstar honours with three goals and three assists in four games. (CP)

BUECKERT Hank

February 11, 1933 – October 13, 2015

The Family of Hank Bueckert is sad to announce the passing of their beloved husband, father and grandfather. He is survived and much loved by his wife of 26 years Joyce, his sister Agnes; his children Diana (Fred), Ray (Wendy), Brenda (Dennis) Connie (Brian), and Terry (Dale), and his many grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews and extended family members. Hank was predeceased by his wife of 36 years, Georgie and his siblings Carl, Peter, Frank and Sue. Hank lived a full and active life. He was a man who was an avid sports enthusiast. During his formable years Hank raised his family in Kamloops and nurtured his love of hockey by becoming a coach, referee, and a radio colour commentator for the Kamloops Chiefs. He enjoyed fishing the many lakes in the area, golfing regularly as a member of the KGCC and curling at the Kamloops Curling Club. He enjoyed many, many more sports activities, some of which was supporting his children and grandchildren by cheering them on from the sidelines. In his later years, Hank and his wife Joyce enjoyed travelling to the many golf courses in BC. They eventually moved, bringing Joyce back and introducing Hank to the wonderful community of 100 Mile House. It was here that Hank honed his pool and carpet bowling skills and enjoyed spending time with his wife, their friends and the community surroundings. Hank worked hard to support his family by working many jobs. He became a Real Estate Agent in the late 1960’s and retired from that in 1998. Hank believed in community and volunteered in various organizations including Meals on Wheels, the Red Cross, and he organized golf tournaments to support the Heart and Stroke Foundation. He was full of life. As his life came to the end, Hank said he had no regrets. He had a wonderful and loving family. He passed away peacefully after a very short hospital stay. On behalf of Hank, his family would like to send heartfelt gratitude to the many caregivers and especially to Dr. Geerts for his exceptional, compassionate care. Please join Hank’s family in a Celebration of Life on Saturday October 24th 2015 at 1:00pm at the Creekside Seniors Center in 100 Mile House BC. In keeping with Hank’s wishes, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or to the 100 Mile District General Hospital. 100 Mile Funeral Service Ltd. entrusted with the arrangements. 1-877-595-3243 Condolences can be sent to the family care of www.100milefuneralservice.com

The Angel On Your Shoulder By Jackie Huston Lena, Wisconsin

There’s an angel on your shoulder Though you may not know she’s there, She watches over you day and night And keeps you in her care. There’s an angel on your shoulder Watching you learn and grow Keeping you safe from danger And nurturing your soul. She’ll be there through your triumphs She’ll dance on clouds with pride, She’ll hold your hand through disappointments and fears, Standing faithfully by your side. In her lifetime this angel was strong and true, And stood up for what was right. In your life you’ll be faced with decisions and trials And she’ll shine down her guiding light. Life holds so much in store for you, So remember as you grow older, There are no heights you cannot reach ‘Cause there’s an angel on your shoulder.

Obituaries & In Memoriam CLARKE KILPATRICK July 25, 1940 ~ September 29, 2015

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our father Clarke Kilpatrick of Kamloops, BC, on September 29th, at 75 years of age. He is survived by his children, Bill Kilpatrick, of Kamloops, BC, Pamela (Jas Kandola) Hayes, of Kelowna, BC, and son-in-law, Brent Hayes, of Kelowna, BC, as well as grandchildren Jeffrey Hayes, and Paige Hayes, of Kelowna. Also left to cherish Clarke’s memory are sisters-in-law Fay (Brian) Hextall, of Coquitlam, and Joan (John Pickering) Balmer of Vancouver, as well as thirteen nieces and nephews. Clarke was predeceased by his wife, Joyce Elizabeth Kilpatrick, in 1976, and his sister, Phyllis Reid, of Moosomin, SK. Our Dad passed away peacefully with his family by his side. He will be fondly remembered for his passion for football, hockey, and a cold beer. Clarke was born in Moosomin, SK, in 1940. He ventured out in 1959, and worked for Scotiabank as a banker. After being married in Brandon, he moved to Kamloops in 1967, where he and his son-in-law, Cyril Leslie Balmer opened their successful business with Royalite and Gulf Oil. After ten years of fuel business, Clarke sold it due to the death of wife, Joyce Kilpatrick. 1977 brought a fresh start to Clarke, and he opened his own hardware store in Brock Shopping Centre. He finished out his career with Petro Canada, and retired in 1999. Our Dad will be sadly missed; my brother, Bill, and I will be forever grateful for his sacrifices and the unconditional love he had for us. There will be no formal ceremony, as per Clarke’s request. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the very caring staff in the ICU at Royal Inland Hospital. In lieu of flowers, donations in Clarke’s memory may be made to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation.

Malvina began her journey in Kamloops, BC, where her father ran a shoe store - beginning a lifelong love of quality shoes. She earned her Bachelor of Nursing at UBC and her RN at the Vancouver General Hospital. Before becoming a full-time homemaker she worked with the Victorian Order of Nurses and later taught medical surgical nursing at the University of Michigan Teaching Hospital. She met the love of her life, Hal, on a blind date at UBC. They married in 1958. They moved frequently with Hal’s career in park conservation, spending the majority of their years in Ottawa, but also Geneva, Paris, and finally Sidney, BC. They traveled to nearly every corner of the world for various conferences, where Malvina elegantly hosted delegates and participants in whatever facilities were available. She was an excellent chef, a re-incarnated Julia Childs, and used their travel to expand her repertory of recipes, which she loved to share while entertaining. Having grown up during the Depression, she was frugal and could convert leftovers into delicious “Malvinas.” She studied and became a professional couturier, and thus provided beautiful clothes for herself and the children. She was an avid gardener, taught the kids how to weed and grow great tomatoes. With Hal’s help she turned their Sidney backyard into a colorful oasis. Even while debilitated she’d give directions to Hal, spotting every weed with binoculars. Malvina was a master bridge player, and won many tournaments and friends. She had a love of the arts, especially opera, ballet and the symphony. She sang in the church choir most of her life, and played the piano (making sure the kids learned to as well). She was a devoted Catholic and found Pope Francis a breath of fresh air. Her family and friends will remember her for her strong hugs, the lively debate and delicious food at her dinner parties, the care and support she offered to all of us, and her ceaseless love of life. She was the greatest of friends to so many and will be dearly missed. We will be celebrating her life through a funeral which will be held at St Elizabeth’s Church, 10030 3rd St., Sidney on Tuesday October 20th at 2pm, followed by a reception at the Ardomore Golf Club, 930 Ardmore Drive, North Saanich. The family wishes to thank Dr. Colin Tamboline, and all those who supported her care; especially Josh Macdonald, Christine Dion, the nurses of Victoria Hospice, the ALS Society of BC, and everyone who dumped buckets of ice on their heads for ALS research. In lieu of flowers, donations to the ALS Society or a charity of your choice may be made in Malvina’s name.

Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

GRIEVING COMMUNITY REMEMBERS GIRLS KILLED IN FARM ACCIDENT

INTRODUCE ALLERGENIC FOODS EARLY

‘EVERYONE FEELS A CONNECTION WITH THEM’

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A new review of recent evidence suggests parents don’t need to delay introducing foods commonly causing allergies, like peanuts. The review published yesterday in the Canadian Medical Association Journal states babies at four to six months of age can begin eating these foods. A recent survey of Canadian households found eight per cent reported at least one food allergy.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

WITHROW, ALTA. — About 500 coloured helium-filled balloons were released into the air when a small Alberta farming community paid tribute to three young sisters who were smothered last week in a load of canola seed. Hundreds of people crowded into the Withrow Gospel Mission, west of Red Deer, on Sunday to honour the memories of Catie Bott, who was 13, and her twin 11-year-old siblings, Jana and Dara Bott. The girls were killed last Tuesday evening on their family farm while playing on a truck

loaded with the grain. Two of them were pronounced dead at the scene, while the third died after being taken to an Edmonton hospital. They will be buried at Crossroads Church in Red Deer. A GoFundMe page created by a family friend for the girls’ parents surpassed its goal of $100,000 in donations in just three days. For many people in the community, the Bott sisters were considered members of their own extended family. “We all went to each other’s house after church every Sunday,’’ said Baillie Burns. “We’d always see each other.’’

“We would paint and cook together,’’ recalled Adelita Studer, Jana’s best friend. “She was just perfect.’’ Family friend Dave Brand said the fact the girls are no longer around is tough to comprehend. “As a community, we’re still reeling,’’ said Brand. “It’s really difficult to conceptualize what happened.’’ Brian Allan, pastor of the mission, said most weeks the girls’ parents, Roger and Bonita, are on the platform leading the singing. “Everyone feels a connection with them. We all feel the pain as well.’’

POST’S COYNE IN PUBLIC DISAGREEMENT WITH PAPER’S ENDORSEMENT OF CONSERVATIVES THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Prominent political journalist Andrew Coyne says he has stepped down from his position as editor of editorials and comment for the National Post after clashing with the newspaper over a piece he wrote that was at odds with the Post’s endorsement of the Conservatives in the federal election. Coyne issued an explanation in a series of tweets, saying he resigned the editor’s post “to protect my reputation and to preserve my editorial freedom as a columnist.’’ Coyne said he will continue as a colum-

”

— ANDREW COYNE

nist for the National Post. Coyne had penned an unpublished column expressing a different view than the position the National Post took on the election. He later wrote on Twitter that he intends to back the NDP candidate in his riding and that “the Conservatives don’t deserve to be re-elected and the Liberals don’t deserve a majority.’’ “Postmedia executives and I had a professional disagreement,’’ Coyne wrote of the National Post’s

parent company. “Their view was that the publication of a column by the editorial page editor dissenting from the Post’s endorsement of the Conservatives would confuse readers and embarrass the paper. “My view was that that was what I was paid to do as a columnist: give my honest opinion on issues of public interest.’’ Coyne did not respond to requests for comment. In a note to National Post staff, editor-inchief Anne Marie Owens announced

Coyne’s decision, saying he felt his dual roles were in conflict. She praised his tenure in the editor’s job. “In his short time as editorials and comment editor, Andrew brought intellectual rigour to our editorials and his enthusiasm for intelligent argument and debate to the comment pages,’’ she wrote. Coyne tweeted that a newspaper’s managers and owners have every right to take an editorial stance and determine who and what gets published, but suggested he felt his columnist job would be compromised if he stayed silent when he and management didn’t see eye to eye. In this case, Coyne said he felt readers would be able to differentiate between the newspaper’s official endorsement and the

views of an individual columnist. “I don’t see public disagreement as confusing. I see it as honest,’’ he tweeted. “Readers, in my view, are adults and understand that adults can disagree.’’ Coyne said he would stay on as a columnist with the paper, but would no longer oversee the editorial and commentary section that he presided over since December 2014. Coyne, the son of a former Bank of Canada governor, has carved out a long and varied career among Canada’s major media outlets. In addition to columnist positions with the National Post and Globe and Mail, he spent years as national editor of Maclean’s magazine. He is also a regular member of CBC’s weekly “At Issue’’ panel.
