KamCan seeks city council support for medical-pot facility The proponents of a proposed medical-marijuana production facility in Kamloops are asking for city council’s support as the they seek final approval from Health Canada. KamCan Products Inc. has already received rezoning approval from the city for its grow-op building at 8170 Dallas Dr. Dr. Robert Brownlee of KamCan Products, in a letter to council that will be presented at today’s meeting at city hall, said the facility will employ between five and 10 people and “will provide a safe, reliable source of medical marijuana for those who have appropriate health conditions. “Marijuana is a viable alternative to narcotics and illicit drugs and should reduce the number of drugrelated deaths in our community,” Brownlee said in the letter. He said the facility will include a laboratory for measuring the constituents of marijuana and for the extraction from raw plant material into oils that can be used in various ways medically. Along with seeking council’s support via a letter, the company is also inviting council to tour the Dallas facility, the interior of which, Brownlee said, will be completed upon Health Canada approval to proceed. Brownlee, a Kamloops neurosurgeon, and his partners in KamCan Products applied to Health Canada in 2013. In October, Brownlee told KTW KamCan hopes to sell medical marijuana within the region, rather than nationwide. He also sees the business as a chance to conduct research on the drug’s effects.

CHRISTOPHER BUTLER SENTENCING HEARING
Father of murder victim: ‘We miss her closeness, her love, her smile’ CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Deanne Wheeler’s father told a B.C. Supreme Court hearing her murderer took a young life and left behind a family crushed with grief. Christopher Butler, 42, has pleaded guilty to murdering his ex-girlfriend in his Cherry Avenue apartment on Dec. 20, 2014. During a sentencing hearing yesterday, Crown asked for a minimum of 12 to 14 years before parole eligibility, while defence argued for 10 to 12 years before parole in what is a life sentence for second-degree murder. “She bought her friends birthday presents, Christmas presents, cared for people, had an unmistakable laughter, loved life, liked her hot chocolate, tea, yogurt, movies, loved music, loved her cat, loved her friends, loved life and wouldn’t hurt anyone,” her father, Elwin, told the court. “We miss her closeness, her love, her smile.” Elwin faced the loss of his daughter alone, court heard.
Her mother was hospitalized for 18 months, unable to cope with Deanne’s death. Deanne was the couple’s only child. Butler’s appearances in court have been frequently accompanied by bizarre ramblings. After killing Wheeler, 26, he told police she was “a demon.” He admitted to strangling her with an electrical cord, hitting her in the head with a rock and stabbing her seven times. Butler invited her to his apartment and she brought him a coffee. “When it entered my apartment, I set down the coffee it had brought,” Butler told police, referring to Deanne as a demon. “We went forward into the living room. It turned around and said, ‘You will no longer call me Satan,’ and its eyes went huge and black . . . I feared for my life and said, ‘Die, demon, die.’” Speaking to the court, breaking up at times, Elwin said: “If anyone is a demon, it’s Chris Butler. “If I hate anyone in this world, it’s Chris Butler — that man right there.” Butler then interjected in a flat tone, say-
ing, “I’d like to apologize for my actions.” Crown prosecutor Alexandra Janse highlighted Butler’s jealous behaviour and stalking in the weeks before Wheeler’s death, including threats to kill her new boyfriend. Butler was referred in 2015 by the court for an assessment to determine whether he was not criminally responsible by reason of a mental disorder. A psychiatrist found that, while he has bipolar disorder and narcissistic and antisocial personality disorders, he appreciated his actions caused the death of a person. Defence lawyer Jay Michi highlighted Butler’s mental problems, saying his mental health rapidly decayed in December 2014. He had been under treatment by professionals, but had mixed success staying on medication and away from drugs and alcohol. He has a long and violent criminal record, but did manage a stable life for 10 years in Ontario, where he ran a business and was a father to two children. Justice Keith Bracken is scheduled to render his decision July 25.

A B.C. Supreme Court justice has declined to issue an injunction to shut down a Provincial Winter Fair in Barriere, ruling to do so may imperil the 4-H event. The Kamloops Exhibition Association is suing the Barriere-based Provincial Winter Fair Society, claiming the newly formed group stole the Provincial Winter Fair identity to organize a rival event. It sought an injunction in B.C. Supreme Court to stop the Barriere event, which has sewn up about 70 per cent of participants for the event in late September. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers said issuing an injunction now would imperil the Barriere event. “Put another way, the plaintiff (KXA) has not shown, absent an interim injunction, the defendants will ruin goodwill by converting its agricultural exposition into a rock concert or motor car race,” Rogers wrote.
The lack of an injunction means the two fairs — one in Kamloops and the other in Barriere — are set to go ahead as competing events with the same name on the same weekend. The KXA claimed it was ready to host the Provincial Winter Fair and asked for an injunction to stop the Barriere group. But Rogers said he is not certain the event can be successfully held in Kamloops. “I have no confidence that, if the interim injunction were granted, that the plaintiff would, at this late date, be able to put on the same show as can the defendants,” Rogers wrote. While the Barriere event can go ahead this year, the larger issues between the rival groups will be settled at a trial before the next event in 2017. “No one here is in it for the money,” Rogers noted in the decision released this week. The KXA filed the lawsuit against the Provincial Winter Fair Society and seven people earlier this year. Six of them are former organizers with the
KXA’s own Winter Fair committee, while a seventh is a former bookkeeper for the KXA. That society was formed early this year after a dispute between KXA board members and organizers of the 4-H event. The fair was started in 1939 and operated in Kamloops until 2010, when the KXA lost its lease with the Tk’emlups Indian Band. Organizers then moved it to Barriere, with a long-term goal of eventually bringing it back to Kamloops. After a split this year, however, the Barrierebased group organized the event independent of the KXA. It argues organizers through the decades owned the rights and goodwill to the event, while the KXA was little more than a partner. Despite the ruling, KXA president Gary Gray vowed his group will host its own Provincial Winter Fair at a yet-to-be determine location in Kamloops this September. He said language in the ruling makes him confident a trial judge will find the Barriere group has wrongly taken identity of the Provincial Winter Fair. “Short-term loss, long-term win,” he said.

Addicts get easier access to suboxone guidelines for doctors to refer to if they choose to prescribe suboxone and is in line with Health Canada’s decision an exemption should not be required. The report by the B.C. section of the Canadian Research Initiative on Substance Misuse (CRISM) was released on June 1. It noted there has been a substantial increase in overdose deaths attributable to illicit drugs, including opioids, in the past decade. The BC Coroners Service’s updated statistics show 308 accidental illicit drugrelated deaths in the province during the first five months of the year, a 75 per cent increase from the same period in 2015. Kamloops continues to have one of the highest increases, with just seven reported last year and 18 to the end of May this year. Of the provincial number, 250 men died and 58 women perished, with the

The province’s College of Physicians and Surgeons has acted on a report it received calling for quicker and easier access to suboxone, which is used in treating opioid addictions. Last October, the drug was added to PharmaCare coverage, but could only be prescribed by doctors with an exemption under the federal Controlled Drugs and Substance Act to prescribe methadone for opioid addictions. The restriction virtually eliminated primary-care physicians, who traditionally do not hold the exemption, from being able to prescribe it for their patients. The change, which came into effect on July 1, includes clinical practice

A 55-year-old man facing charges in connection to a fatal hit and run in Magna Bay earlier this year did not show up in person for his first court appearance on Monday. Instead, a lawyer asked that Raymond Edward Swann’s matters be adjourned until next month. Swann is alleged to have struck Brian Watson’s motorcycle from behind on Squilax-
Anglemont Road on April 3. Watson, 60, died as a result of the collision. About a dozen of Watson’s family members crowded into a small courtroom at the Kamloops Law Courts, hoping to catch a glimpse of the man accused in his death. Swann, who is facing one count each of criminal negligence causing death and failure to remain at the scene of an accident, is not in custody. He is due back in
BRIAN WATSON court on Aug. 18. In the Friday, July 8, edition of KTW, Watson’s widow, Ila Watson, spoke of the man she had been with since elementary school. She said her husband was a painter for School District 73, interact-
ing with students and staff at Kamloops-area schools while keeping facilities looking spiffy. “His co-workers said every time Brian walked in, he put smiles on their faces,� Watson said. “Brian just lit up the room.� Watson said her husband’s sudden death has been devastating for the entire family. “It’s just been a nightmare,� she said. “And my kids are just so heartbroken. It’s just been terrible. They were so close to their dad.�

“Because it’s always been illegal, there isn’t a lot of scientific research on different health conditions that could potentially benefit from it,� Brownlee said. “So, if we had this up and going, part of the plan was if you had the grow-op, we could also create a medical clinic that’s dedicated to people that would
be using it. That way, you could evaluate how effective it is for people with different conditions.� The new federal Liberal government, which achieved a majority mandate nine months ago, has pledged to legalize marijuana by introducing legislation next spring, but it’s not yet clear what that will mean for
the existing medical-marijuana system, in which a small group of licensed producers across the country grow the plant, then ship their dried product to consumers by mail. That system was meant to replace home-growing by patients with a pot prescription, though a court challenge has allowed the practice to continue.

Dealing fentanyl not aggravating factor SO SAYS JUDGE AS SHE SENTENCES MAN TO 28-MONTH PRISON TERM TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops judge declined to consider the presence of fentanyl an aggravating factor in handing down B.C.’s first sentence for trafficking the highly potent and potentially deadly synthetic opioid yesterday, saying it’s up to Canadian lawmakers to dictate how the drug should be handled by courts. Matthew Hickson was handed a 28-month prison sentence after pleading guilty to two counts of possession of a controlled substance for the purpose of trafficking — one for cocaine, the other for fentanyl. The Crown had been seeking a fouryear prison sentence, citing lengthy terms of incarceration doled out for fentanyl dealers in Ontario and entering into evidence reports about the serious and sometimes deadly implications of fentanyl use.
Matthew Hickson as seen on The Dirty website.
B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop said cocaine and fentanyl, both considered Schedule 1 controlled substances under Canadian law, should be treated the same in court. “Until Parliament legislates otherwise, I will make no distinction in sentencing Mr. Hickson,” she said. Hyslop did, however, acknowledge the seriousness of fentanyl. “The danger with
fentanyl lies with the potency and possible overdose risk,” she said. “Fentanyl is 50 to 100 times more potent than morphine. Drug overdose deaths in British Columbia have been increasing.” In April, B.C.’s chief medical health officer declared a medical state of emergency due to the skyrocketing number of overdose deaths in the province, the majority
as a result of fentanyl use. But, Hyslop said, there was no evidence Hickson knew he was carrying fentanyl when he was busted by police during a traffic stop in Merritt. Court heard the 32-year-old was under police surveillance on Nov. 5, 2014, when he was pulled over en route to Kamloops from the Lower Mainland. Inside his vehicle, police found $38,000
Smokes and tickets targeted in burglary Kamloops RCMP is asking for the public’s help to find a burglar who broke into a business and stole about $4,000 worth of cigarettes and lottery tickets. At 2:30 a.m. yesterday, Mounties responded to a business alarm at Twin Rivers Market on Hugh Allan Drive in Aberdeen.
When officers arrived, they found someone had entered by breaking the front-door glass with a rock. Surveillance video shows a lone male breaking the window and stealing cigarettes and lottery tickets by breaking cabinets behind the counter.
He then drove away in a darkcoloured vehicle. The suspect was wearing a black balaclava, a thick yellowish work jacket with a hood, white gloves and was carrying a black duffel bag. Call police at 250-828-3000 if you can help identity the thief.
worth of cocaine and 490 fentanyl pills, which could have sold for as much as $10,000 on the street. The fentanyl pills, court heard, were stamped to look like Percocet. Elsewhere in the vehicle, police found steroids, marijuana, magic mushrooms and a cutting agent used by cocaine dealers to increase profits. Federal Crown prosecutor Anita Chan presented several studies and reports in court outlining the dangers of fentanyl use, including papers
from the BC Coroners Service and the Canadian Centre on Substance Abuse. Chan said B.C.’s Interior saw 21 fentanyl-related deaths in 2015 — up from two in 2012 — and had tallied 15 in the first three months of this year. Chan relied on a number of cases from Ontario courts, where fentanyl traffickers have received strict sentences — including a first-time offender ordered to spend six years behind bars. The difference, though, is that the Ontario dealers were
providing fentanyl patches, not fake Percocet. Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen had urged Hyslop to avoid making a rash decision based on “media and moral outrage” against fentanyl. In her decision, Hyslop said there was no evidence Hickson knew he was carrying fentanyl, unlike the fentanyl-patch dealing traffickers in Ontario. Hyslop also ordered Hickson to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database.

LIKE CLOCKWORK, A DISPUTE LOOMS
W
hat’s that old motto? “Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor hail shall keep the postmen from their appointed rounds.” Wait, that’s the US Postal Service. As for Canada Post, we’ll find out soon enough if similar terms apply. It looks like both sides in this latest conflict involving the corporation, which recorded a $63-million profit last year, have dug deep trenches and terms like “bully bosses” and “unscrupulous” are being lobbed. Pensions and gender pay equity are among the issues. After Canada’s 50,000 postal workers voted 94 per cent to strike, Canada Post issued a 72-hour lockout notice and the lockout was expected to take effect yesterday. The Crown corporation has rescinded that notice and it is business as usual as the sides talk. But a strike/lockout seems like a certainty. We will, of course, be pleasantly surprised if it doesn’t happen. But, like the BCTF and the provincial government, Canada Post and its workers share a genetic imperative to have it out every so often. If it goes ahead, this will be the fifth major labour dispute in three decades. The last one, in 2011, lasted three weeks, ending only when the government ordered the postal workers back to work. The others were in 1997, 1991 and 1987. Fortunately, according to Ottawa, essential mail, such as child taxbenefits cheques, disability benefits, Old Age Security Pension, Canada Pension Plan and veteran benefits cheques, will still be delivered on the 20th of each month. But hopeful university applicants sending out transcripts and small businesses that rely on snail mail have to be wringing their hands over the situation. Those are two good reasons among many why we hope the employer and union keep the clownery to a minimum and get back to negotiating.

Camping crisis explained
W
ealthy foreigners snapping up the best properties at premium prices and, in some cases, leaving them vacant except for prime times. Occupancy permits trading on classified websites, even rumours of resellers working the passing traffic like rock concert scalpers. The B.C. Liberal government maintains the problem is primarily a lack of supply and vows to build more. It’s B.C.’s other real estate crisis — campsite spaces. And, mostly, it is a summertime media invention. An urban radio station poll last week asked if there is something wrong with BC Parks’ online campsite reservation service and more than 80 per cent of participants agreed there was. They’re likely misinformed about what is wrong, especially if they’re going by the exaggerated or flat-out false information they’ve heard as this issue was inflated into a national story. It got going just before the Canada Day long weekend, when popular campsites are always booked solid. Reports claimed European tourists were buying package tours that included BC Parks campground reservations, for which they were paying twice the selling price. In our 24-hour, social media gossip swamp, this kind of thing gets out of hand quickly. A Salmon Arm company, Canadian Camping Adventures, was named in news reports as working with European travel agencies, buying reserved camp

VICTORIA spots for $18 to $38 a night and reselling them for $70. NDP and Green politicians jumped on the bandwagon, shocked that the people’s parks would be exploited like this. One problem: they’re not. The Salmon Arm couple who built the tour business said the $70 figure comes from adding up all the hotel rooms, camp bookings and activities on the route and dividing by the number of days. The tours are designed around activities and private RV camping facilities, with BC Parks campgrounds often midweek stops along the way. The business was besieged by threatening phone and email messages and had to take its Facebook page down after it was inundated with abuse. The environment ministry pulled together its latest statistics on use of the BC Parks online reservation system. Commercial tour operators account for less than one per cent of bookings and many of their customers are from within B.C. In fact, three-quarters of all provincial campground
reservations are from British Columbians, 14 per cent are from Albertans, 2.8 per cent are from elsewhere in Canada and 3.6 per cent are from the U.S. The entire continent of Europe accounts for 6.6 per cent of bookings. Considering that the B.C. government spends gobs of money on its Super, Natural B.C. ad campaign to market our great wilderness to the world, perhaps opposition critics could reacquaint themselves with reality before leaping for cheap media hits. The reservation system shows plenty of spaces, even at the most popular BC Parks campsites. Weekends are scarcer and holidays like the upcoming B.C. Day long weekend are snapped up as soon as the 90-day window for booking campgrounds comes around. One trick used by savvy B.C. campers when a long weekend approaches is to book a maximum two-week stay starting on their first day of eligibility, 90 days away. The second week stretches beyond the limit to the high-demand week that is not yet available for booking. Then they cancel the first week, get a refund for it, and hold onto the coveted long weekend spot. Environment Minister Mary Polak says creating more campsites in B.C. parks is the ultimate answer. Of course, that will attract protests about paving paradise to put up a parking lot.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
HURRY UP AND WAIT FOR NEEDED SURGERY Editor: I would like to add my medical procedure waitlist experience to the others who have written to KTW. I am still waiting for a total knee replacement, having seen a local orthopaedic surgeon for two years, only to find out he moved to Edmonton last summer. Unable to walk without pain, I was finally at the point of being ready to go through with the procedure, which requires spending sev-
eral nights in hospital. I was then placed on another local surgeon’s caseload and am now almost another year on the wait list — only to find out there are further delays due to the hospital continuing to cut back on surgeries requiring overnight beds. With a “maybe October” surgical date, but nothing set, I am told the situation continues to be uncertain and to carry on my life the best I can.
This makes it three years of waiting after I began this process of consultation and the decision to go through with the surgery. I wonder how many other patients waiting for surgeries are aware closure of overnight beds is creating the delays and longer waitlists? But that is a lovely new addition to Royal Inland Hospital, don’t you think? Donna Buckley Kamloops
FEDERAL LIBERALS’ ASSISTED-DYING LAW NOT HUMANE Editor: The passage of Bill C-14 on physician-assisted suicide‚ now called “medical-aid-in-dying” (MAID), is a cause of profound disappointment. It shows a pusillanimous attempt by our government to try to assuage the fears of that minority of Canadians who, for one reason or another, oppose the very idea of suicide. Bill C-14 limits MAID to a very select group — those whose death is “reasonably foreseeable.” It denies MAID to those who who want it and need it. I am reminded of a friend who suffered from ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease). When her physical suffering became unbearable to her, she wanted to end her life. It was a well-thought out and perfectly sensible decision with which her supportive family agreed. She could have lived for a
few more months or perhaps a year or two. Nobody could help — neither doctors nor her family. She tried suicide on her own by taking overdose of a prescribed medication, which in itself was difficult because of her disabled fingers. But the attempt was unsuccessful and only resulted in hospital admission. She was back in her home. She finally decided to go to Switzerland to die. Fortunately, she could afford the expense. Her family went and helped her. Going to Switzerland is not just buying a one-way ticket. If you are not a Swiss resident, there are some logistical problems to deal with. Tragically, Bill C-14 would not have helped her. The history of MAID is long and painful. We have all heard of Sue Rodriguez and the American

”
pathologist, Jack Kevorkian. It was, however, Kay Carter’s story that took the matter to the Supreme Court of Canada, which overturned the slim 1993 Supreme Court decision and unanimously supported “the right to control the method, timing and circumstances of death.” It asked the federal govern-
ment to come up with a new law. The Supreme Court’s decision was not supported by the Stephen Harper Conservative government, which began footdragging, but we had hopes with the Liberals. Unfortunately, the Liberals have disappointed us by not only the “reasonably foreseeable” clause, but by excluding mental-health disease as a criterion. Also, advanced directives will not be accepted. Minors will be excluded, too, though increasing number of European countries are allowing minors with debilitating and fatal diseases to ask for MAID, and this has not resulted in “mass murder” of minors. I expect it will be years before a new Supreme Court decision will make government pass a more humane bill. Max Zahir, MD Kamloops

A Kamloops woman who claims she was raped at gunpoint in a North Shore park more than six years ago told a jury her attacker threatened to kill her if she went to police. Taylor James Matchett, 28, is standing trial on one count of sexual assault with a firearm in B.C. Supreme Court. His alleged victim, now a 32-year-old stay-at-home mom, was the first Crown witness called when the trial began yesterday in front of an eightwoman, four-man jury. Her name is protected by a
court-ordered publication ban. The complainant said she was walking along Tranquille Road on Nov. 11, 2009, when a blue car stopped near her. She said she approached the vehicle and asked the driver if he was looking for company. Jurors heard she agreed to perform oral sex on the man in exchange for $40 and suggested he drive to McArthur Island. Once there, court heard, the attacker pulled a gun on the complainant. “He said he had a little surprise for me,” the complainant said. “In shock, I grabbed the barrel and said, ‘This has got to be a joke.’
“He said no. If I didn’t bite, he wouldn’t kill me.” The woman told jurors she performed oral sex on the attacker with a gun to her head for about 10 minutes. She said he then ordered her to remove her pants and put her face in a pile of dirt while he raped her from behind. After the attack, the complainant said, she ran to a nearby home and banged on the door. She called 911 and police arrived a short time later. Defence lawyer Sheldon Tate has admitted Matchett’s DNA was found on the victim’s body. The trial is expected to conclude this week.
Suspect charged after traffic stop turns up sawed-off shotgun A 35-year-old Kamloops man with whom police are familiar is facing numerous charges after Mounties stopped his vehicle for having no insurance and found a loaded sawed-off shotgun in the back seat. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said that, at 2:20 a.m. on Friday, officers saw a vehicle that did not have a valid insurance tag. When investigators found the vehicle a short time later, they also discovered the driver’s
licence had been suspended. “The suspect driver would not follow the police officers’ instructions to stay still, so subsequently was handcuffed, at which time he tried to run away,” Shelkie said, noting he was arrested. She said when the officer went back to the vehicle, the loaded sawed-off shotgun was visible in the back of the car. Police also found extra ammunition for the shotgun in
a spare magazine, a large knife and a can of bear spray. Michael Robert Shymkowich is facing one count each of possessing a firearm without a licence, occupying a vehicle knowing a firearm is present, possessing a restricted firearm with ammunition and obstructing a peace officer. He was remanded in custody last week and is expected to return to court for a bail hearing on Thursday.
Updates on road work Residents on Richmond Avenue are being asked to put away the good china when construction begins next week. Due to vibratory compaction equipment which will be used during a reconstruction of the street between Eighth Street and Schubert Drive, the city is advising residents to pack away and protect any fragile items. The project will add new streetlights and a sidewalk on
the north side of Richmond, as well as new water main tie-ins. Construction will run Mondays to Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m., with possible night and weekend work if required. The project should be finished by October. Work on Pacific Way also gets underway next week. The project, which spans from Hugh Allan Drive to Aberdeen Drive, will see the road FREE
upgraded and repaved, and a section of water main replaced. During construction, Pacific Way will be closed between Howe Road and Greystone Crescent to all but local and emergency traffic. Detours will be signed. Most work will take place between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., Mondays through Saturdays. Construction is expected to wrap up by November.

Wine returns to council’s menu STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Another round of debate over grocery store wine sales is on the way for Kamloops city council. At its meeting today, council will decide whether to reverse its decision to bar Save-On-Foods from selling B.C. wines at its Sahali grocery store. Council turned down a variance required to permit the sales in May by a vote of 5-2, but agreed last month to reconsider its decision after the grocery chain tightened the description of what it would sell on its shelves. Save-On first asked for permission to sell any B.C. wine, as well as cider, mead and sake made from B.C. products. Its revised application will limit the store’s sales to only VQA wines — B.C.
wines certified by the B.C. Wine Institute. While council’s first debate generated volumes of mail for and against grocery store sales, as of last Friday the city had received only 11 letters about its upcoming decision. All but one were in favour of Save-On selling wine. Grocery-store sales have been controversial locally and in other communities across the province. Private liquor retailers, including nearby Fox’n Hounds owner Al Deacon, arguing grocery stores have an unfair advantage because they are able to buy wine on commission and may be able to sell at lower price points because of their higher sales volumes. City councillors who turned down Save-On’s first bid cited concerns about public health due to

MORE INCENTIVES FOR HOMEBUYERS You may not be aware, but homebuyers have some advantages in BC. The federal and provincial governments have incentive programs to help get you into your first home — or even a new home. Today, we will look at some B.C. government savings when buying brand new construction:
Property Transfer Tax/Newly Built Home Exemption:
Kamloops Realty
250.319.1612 • salitf55@shaw.ca www.FrankSalituro.net
The newly built home exemption can mean big savings for all homebuyers. This incentive is intended to reduce or eliminate the amount of property transfer tax you pay when you purchase a newly built home. Property transfer tax is one per cent of the first $200,000 and two per cent of the remainder of your purchase price.
According to a government website (http://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/ taxes/property-taxes/property-transfer-tax/understand/exemptions/newly-built-home-exemption), to qualify for the incentive, the property you are purchasing must:

By providing unique, collaborative, client-focused solutions my customer-first philosophy was formed. I am not here to simply help individuals buy and sell homes; anyone can do that. Instead, I focus on my clients’ needs by listening, learning and engaging. This professionalism and passion provides my clients with a service that they deserve resulting in living “the Kamloops life.”

DAVE EAGLES PHOTOS/KTW The 419 Squadron arrived with four CT-155 Hawk aircraft (above) at Kamloops Airport on Friday for its 75th anniversary reunion to celebrate the venerable relationship the squadron and the city have shared since the Second World War. Kamloops This Week photographer Dave Eagles was at the event and captured these images, while also spending a few minutes with the squadron’s commanding officer, Lt.-Col. Mike (Moose) Grover, seen left in photos below with French exchange officer Maj. Ben Le Gall.
Q&A WITH 419 SQUADRON
‘I never knew I had an affinity for flying so much’ Kamloops This Week photographer Dave Eagles did a question-and-answer session with 419 Squadron’s commanding officer Lt.-Col. Mike (Moose) Grover at Fulton Field. Q: Where is your favourite place to fly? A: “I just love all the tactics we do. I love the dog-fighting. That’s probably my favourite. Secondly, some low-level missions at 200 feet we do. Overall, I just like being in the pattern, taking off and landing and doing the real basic flying stuff.” Q: Do you ever take anything in the cockpit with you, like family pictures or memorabilia? A: “No, I never do. You see that in movies. You see that once in a while, but I don’t. For me, I separate that — my wife, family and kids — completely away from all that. I don’t even want that in my mind, if something goes wrong. That’s Hollywood stuff. “It’s more reflecting on the ground, not during a mission because you’re up there with your squadron mates and you don’t want to let them down. You don’t want to make a mistake that hurts them or makes the mission ineffective, so you’re not thinking about anything else other than just not screwing up and doing the best you can. Epiphanies in the air? No, no. Maybe on the ground, reflecting on a neat mission.” Q: Did you ever see yourself becoming a pilot when you were a kid? A: “My dad was a G pilot at Canadian and Okanogan Helicopters, so I grew up in a flying family but I didn’t know what I wanted to do so, coming out of high school, university, about the third year, I said ‘Well, I’ll give it a shot’.” “I never knew I had an affinity for flying so much, because it was every day growing up, flying was in my life with my dad. So I realized maybe I’ll try this flying thing, it worked for him. “So far, so good.” Q: Have you ever been flying in combat? A: Kosovo, Serbia, with the F-18, back in ’99, I flew missions there in combats.” Q: Is it for life — flying for the Canadian military? A: “It is yes, absolutely it is. After a certain point, a few years in, you get going, you’re trying to get as many hours as you can — you wanna go maybe fly for airlines and all that, you’re young. For me to stay in, it’s something I’ve I wanted to do.”

LOCAL NEWS NATIONAL NEWS Trudeau won’t talk future
Will Canada keep sending troops to Ukraine? THE CANADIAN PRESS
KYIV, Ukraine — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada is standing by Ukraine in its struggle against Russia, but he won’t be pinned down on whether it will continue supplying troops to train Ukraine’s military. During a joint news conference yesterday in Kyiv to mark the signing of a Canada-Ukraine free trade deal, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he asked for 200 Canadian military trainers to remain in the country past March 2017. That’s when the current mission near the western city of Lviv is set to expire. Canada will co-ordinate with its allies in supporting Ukraine, said Trudeau, who noted the training mission is giving “significant support’’ to the Ukrainian military as it seeks to defend and reclaim territory lost to rebels in the east. “We are right now focused on the training mission that is going so well for both Canadians and especially for the Ukrainian military,’’ he said. “As the situation evolves, we will continue to monitor and look at the best way we can continue to support and help Ukraine and we will do so in the spirit of collaboration and friendship that has always existed between Canada and Ukraine.’’ Meanwhile, Trudeau and Poroshenko slammed Russia for not living up to commitments to a peace deal intended to bring an end to fighting in eastern Ukraine. Some European allies have grown impatient Ukraine is not doing enough to implement its commitments in the Minsk peace agreement with the rebels and Russia, with warnings they may not renew sanctions against the latter. Russia seized Crimea from Ukraine two years ago and has supported separatist rebels in eastern Ukraine. “It is obvious that Ukraine has made some extremely important and difficult steps in Parliament and in their institutions to live up to their responsibilities on Minsk. And it’s also quite clear that on the security side of the Minsk implementation, Russia has not been a positive partner,’’ Trudeau said. “They have not been moving responsibly or appropriately on things like ceasefires or international observers, and we are very hopeful that continued international unity and clarity around the expectations that we advance with Minsk are going to continue to put the necessary pressure on Russia to follow the process and act on the security concerns.’’ For his part, Poroshenko said Ukraine has fulfilled 95 per cent of its political obligations and all of its security requirements under the agreement. “With that situation, it is vitally important for us that Russia meet the security criteria for launching the political process. This is Russia who should make a disengagement. This is Russia who should remove the heavy artillery, weapons, multi-rocket launch systems, tanks, from their front lines.’’ The free trade deal signed yesterday between Canada and Ukraine isn’t the biggest for either country, but it is seen as politically important given Ukraine’s efforts to escape from Russia’s influence. Ukrainian officials are also hoping it will spark an influx of Canadian investment for their country’s struggling economy. Earlier, Trudeau and his oldest son Xavier paid tribute to the victims of mass atrocities in Ukraine, visiting several memorials dedicated to Ukrainians who were killed by the Nazis and Soviets. Remembrance has emerged as key feature during Trudeau’s trip to Eastern Europe, which included attending the NATO leaders’ summit in Warsaw before visiting the infamous Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp on Sunday.
B.C. supports housing vacancy tax in Vancouver to assist with rental shortage THE CANADIAN PRESS
VANCOUVER — The British Columbia government will support the city of Vancouver’s request for a tax on vacant housing. Finance Minister Mike de Jong said the legislature will meet on July 25 to consider revisions to the Vancouver Charter that would allow the city to create and collect the tax. De Jong said the levy is aimed at improving the supply of rental homes across Metro Vancouver’s
superheated real estate market. He said a vacancy tax is a reasonable request to try to regulate the rental market while waiting for new construction to come online. De Jong said he spoke with Mayor Gregor Robertson before the announcement and believes he is pleased with the province’s efforts to respond quickly to the housing affordability crisis. NDP Housing critic David Eby said he will have to see what de Jong puts forward in the legislature before he decides whether to support it.

Alberta premier unfussed with unite the right ‘do si do’ Notley made her remarks after flipping and serving pancakes at the annual Stampede Breakfast in downtown Calgary. Notley said the focus leading up to 2019 will be winning over Albertans who share values the NDP stand for.

CALGARY — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley says the do-si-do taking place between Alberta’s two right-of-centre parties hasn’t changed how the NDP plans to tackle the next election. She said her party’s strategy won’t change if longtime Alberta MP Jason Kenney succeeds in making willing dance partners of the Progressive Conservative and Wildrose parties.

THE CANADIAN PRESS
An Ontario provincial cabinet minister is calling for a reverse to a Toronto ban on a classic Canadian pastime. Street hockey is welcomed in other major cities like Calgary, but is banned by Toronto’s city bylaws for safety.
Ph: 250-374-7467• Fax: 250-374-1033 1365B Dalhousie Drive
www.kamloopsthisweek.com
Ontario’s new minister of children and youth services wrote an open letter to Toronto city council asking councillors vote to strike down the ban. Michael Couteau wrote street hockey should be encouraged to keep kids active. In Calgary, there
has never been a bylaw explicitly banning street hockey, but city officials recently decided to clarify an existing bylaw to make sure there’s no confusion: street hockey is allowed, even encouraged. A city of Calgary spokeswoman said police officers actively
encourage kids to play and some even keep sticks in their cars so they can join in. But proponents cite safety reasons. For instance, in late 2010, an 11-year-old boy was struck by a vehicle while playing in Halifax and sent to hospital.

DENTAL LASERS
THEY REALLY ARE BETTER! My responsibility as a periodontist and health care Dr. Preety Desai provider is to deliver the best possible care, surgical techniques and innovations to help benefit people and improve their health in the least invasive manner. When I graduated, lasers and their applicability to dental care were never taught in dental or graduate school. The use of lasers has not changed much in North America, while the rest of the world has progressed. Keeping up with the science and research internationally is our responsibility as practitioners and thus next year I will complete my MSc in Laser Dentistry from RWTH University in Germany - the birthplace of modern physics and laser technology; and thus I will be the only periodontist to have done this! Dental implants also started in Europe the same way before becoming mainstream in North America ~ now look at it today: billboards and ads everywhere! Dental laser technology has come leaps and bounds in the last 15 years and the scientific research, which is mainly European and Japanese, unequivocally demonstrates that lasers reduce the trauma of dental work, the invasiveness of treatment and promote faster recovery with less pain. All of my surgery now incorporates at least one of four different laser wavelengths types in my office. I have lectured and trained periodontists and dentists internationally on the benefits of dental lasers. But patients ask “how does it actually work”? Surgical dental lasers focus a specific infrared (invisible) beam of light — to energize streams of water. In this delivery mode, the jet stream of water ablates tissue more precisely compared to traditional steel dental tools like a scalpel, a scaler, a drill, scissors and as a result, causes less injury and trauma to the tissues in the mouth and less damage to the surrounding teeth and gums as they work. Different lasers do different jobs. Some are designed for deep tissue healing like the chiropractor or physiotherapist use on high performance athletes (low level laser therapy), while another lasers can cauterize blood because like laser hair removal, they are attracted to pigmented body parts (hair, blood) and others mid infrared lasers (water lasers) can tackle tissue cutting (like tooth structure, gums, bone and implants). Many dental procedures — from filling cavities, doing root canals, children’s fillings are often without freezing and extracting teeth, sinus lifts, bone grafting to placing dental implants — can all be done with lasers. A periodontal or dental procedure performed with lasers might take a bit longer occasionally but will take less recovery than with other means. The water laser has the ability to complete many of these requirements and is really the “TRUE dental laser”. The healing is so much better, and the results are far superior!

COMMUNITY VOTE ONLINE
Help Chase get funding for skate park The skate park in Chase is one of four projects nationwide vying for $250,000 in upgrades in the Kraft Heinz Project Play — and online votes will determine a winner. The contest this year had a record 820 nominations from people across Canada, looking to find funding to complete infrastructure upgrades. The winning project will receive a quarter of a million dollars, while the three remaining finalists will get $20,000 each. The Chase and District Skate Park is up against projects in Kenora, Ont., Cantley, Que., and Mount Pearl, N.L. Canadians can vote for the winner online at kraftheinzprojectplay.com beginning on Monday, July 25, at 9 a.m. local time and continuing until Tuesday, July 26, at 9 p.m. local time. The grand prize winner will be announced on TSN on Thursday, Aug. 4.
The final four community projects were selected by a judging panel that
evaluated each nomination based on the following criteria: the community’s passion and spirit, how the prize money would be used and overall creativity and effort of the entry. This year’s top four finalists were revealed by Kraft Heinz Project Play ambassador, TSN’s James Duthie, during the July 8 CFL broadcast between Calgary and Ottawa. “A big congratulations to the final four communities and a hat tip to all the folks who submitted
a nomination on behalf of the communities they love,” Duthie said.
“It’s awesome to see so many Canadians agree that places to play are the cornerstones of our communities.”
Submit wildlife photos for SPCA contest The SPCA is accepting photos for its annual Wildlife In Focus contest. Photographers of all experience level who are at least 14 years of age are asked to submit their best shots of B.C.’s wildlife. “The hundreds of imag-
es we receive each year are absolutely stunning. They really showcase the astonishing diversity of wild animals we have in B.C., in urban settings and in isolated locations,” BC SPCA chief scientific officer Dr. Sara Dubois said in a press release. “It certainly makes it hard for the judges to choose the winning photos.” This year, a people’s choice award will join prizes for the top three photos in two categories: Wild settings and backyard habitats. Wildlife includes freeliving birds, mammals, amphibians, reptiles, fish and insects, but not exotic, feral or domestic animals or wildlife found in zoos or rehabilitation facilities. “We’re really looking forward to what our province’s photographers will send us this year — they never cease to amaze,” Dubois said.
“Participants always go above and beyond to find striking photo opportunities that represent the resiliency of local wildlife living at the interface with humans.” For more information, email contest@wildarc. com.

The business of beer Kamloops-born author wrote the book on the geography of suds ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
F
or the past year, Mark Patterson has been in search of good beer. Not just one good beer — which the Kam High alumnus and professor of geography at Kenneaw State University in Georgia could whip up himself at home with relative ease — but an entire planet’s worth. So far, the quest has taken Patterson, whose National Geographic World Atlas of Beer is due out next year, to five continents and 30 countries to try about 2,000 varieties of beer. More are still to come: he’ll cross a sixth continent off his list on an upcoming trip to Australia next month. “We’re trying to put together the stories of beer,” said Patterson over a recent pint at Kamloops’ own Red Collar Brewing Company. “Each country, each region of the country has its own unique story and we try to tell those stories.” A few Kamloops stories may make it into the tome, as well. Red Collar brewer David Beardsell was one of the first people Patterson interviewed, along with Brian MacIsaac of Crannog Ales. Asked to pick a tale from the road, Patterson pointed to the Sorrento-based brewery’s push to brew all-organic beer with
a limited supply of organic barley. Told there wasn’t a demand for the stuff, MacIsaac headed out to prove his supplier wrong. “He went on a road trip from here to the coast and down to San Diego and stopped at breweries along the way and convinced enough of them to sign up for organic barley that he could go back to his supplier and say ‘Look, I’ve got some’,” Patterson said. “And now, organic beer is becoming more common.” Hops Canada, a hop farm on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve that’s the largest in Canada, may also get some recognition in the atlas. An avid home brewer, Patterson got his start as a beer writer when he and co-author Nancy Hoalst set out to write an academic text, The Geography of Beer, inspired by a similar treatise on wines. After its publication, National Geographic
OPINION
Can no-frills NewLeaf succeed? Winnipeg- New Leaf Travel is back into business after the Canadian Transportation Agency (CTA) completed a review on licensing. The CTA confirmed NewLeaf doesn’t need a AFZALUR licence to operRAHMAN ate because it is a reseller of seats on Giving them the flights operated by BUSINESS Kelowna-based Flair Airlines, which has an airline licence. NewLeaf marks Canada’s first true foray into no-frills flying. The company is offering low-priced flights beginning July 25 between 12 Canadian cities, with plans to add sunbelt cities in the United States. Kamloops is one of five new destinations of not included in NewLeaf’s original seven cities.
No-Frills Model
DAVE EAGLES/KTW Born and raised in Kamloops, author Mark Patterson knows more about beer than the average Red Collar customer. The professor of geography at Kennesaw State University is behind a book, National Geographic World Atlas of Beer, slated for release next year.
approached the pair about writing a layperson’s guide. In addition to great stories, the book will look at how brewing has developed in varying countries and regions, diving into the history and culture that shaped various regional styles, such as the monk-brewed Trappist beers of
Belgium. It will also include shortlists of must-visit breweries selected by brewers themselves. Some continents have offered up more material than others — Europe will comprise about a third of the book, while Patterson said African craft brewing is mostly centred in Cape
Town, South Africa. Patterson’s also found himself pulled in some unexpected directions — Italy, better known for its wines, has topped the list of countries most recommended by European brewers, requiring another trip to Europe in the near future.
Under the true no-frills model we see in the U.S. and Europe, NewLeaf will charge a fee for each extra service. Snacks, drinks, priority boarding, checked baggage and carry-on bags all come with an additional cost. Experts call this a discontinuous innovation in the Canadian air-travel industry involving a carrier planning to transfigure our air travel landscape by offering ultra-low fares. The price point for NewLeaf airfares ranges from $79 to $149 one way, with all applicable taxes included. For instant, the no-frill is offering flights from Kamloops to both Victoria and Edmonton from $79. The company can only offer these fares by cutting all frills and using secondary airports to cut landing fees. As such, NewLeaf has avoided traditional hub airports and is offering flights from Abbotsford, Edmonton, Fort St. John, Halifax, Hamilton, Kamloops, Kelowna, Moncton, Regina, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. As mentioned by CEO Jim Young: “Lower landing fees mean we have savings we can pass on to you.” The airlines will further cut costs by avoiding travel agents and third-party booking websites.

Invest Well, Live Well What We’re Teaching Our Kids As brothers who work together in the financial industry, and parents, we thought about what we’d like our kids to know about “money”. We decided to use a philosophy a good friend taught his son: “There are three things you can do with money: 1) Spend some 2) Save some 3) Share some The first of these is by far the easiest! The second has been incredibly well done by the older generations – think of those who grew up near the great depression, World War II or the hyper-inflation of the 80s. In this article, we’d like to focus on #3 - charitable giving or philanthropy. One of the best questions we heard an expert ask an audience is “What was your great-grandmother’s name?” Sadly, most people don’t know their great grandmother’s name let alone her values. The more penetrating question is “How would I feel if my great-grandchildren knew nothing about me…not even my first name?”
This made us uneasy because we hope to leave a legacy that would have a positive impact long after we are gone and communicate the values that had been the most important to us. Please take a moment to ask yourself the same questions. If you don’t like the answers, maybe it’s time to take action. Before doing so, we’d like to provide some facts about how Canadians are very generous. According to TD Economics: There are over 85,000 charities in Canada Canada ranked 5th in the world for giving time and 10th for giving money Charitable giving was $12.7 billion in 2013 Canadians give 0.8% of their annual income to charity The average donation in 2013 was $531 There are two forms of philanthropy: 1) Involuntary – taxes paid to governments 2) Voluntary – donations to charities of choice The majority of Canadians pay 25-50% towards taxes and typically peak when they die with estate taxes. It may be possible to eliminate taxes at death using charitable gifting. Through strategic gift planning, donors can direct their wealth towards specific causes that are more reflective of their values and visions. You may be surprised to learn that your actual out of pocket costs are far less than the actual donation amount because BC residents receive a combined 43.7% tax credit after the first $200 donation. Effectively, a $10,000 donation only costs $5,630. If you donate a profitable investment “in-kind” there can be additional tax savings further reducing the out of pocket costs of the donation.
How much should I give? The GIV3 Foundation found that 80% of Canadians had no idea how much to give. As such, they suggest giving 3% of one’s income annually. Furthermore, they suggested that people brought up with a role model of giving tend to give more. We enjoy being a part of our clients' journey and encourage them to give while they are alive so they can see and feel the benefit. In addition, our hope is others will be inspired by their actions. In particular, their loved ones will know that giving back is a family virtue. Some ideas to consider Begin with 1% of your income Setup automatically monthly giving Give profitable security (shares) directly which can have significant tax benefits Pool tax receipts on the highest income tax return Consider donating through your corporation Change RSP-RIF beneficiary to the charity of your choice Use life insurance to enhance the amount you give Make a bequest in your Will… ask yourself “Do you think your three children would mind getting 30% of your estate rather than 33% if you decided to give 10% to your favourite charities?” Please ensure you take the time to discuss your wishes and dreams with a professional advisor to help ensure you maximize the tax savings and create the legacy you desire. In closing, we’d like to include one of our favourite quotes: “Parents should leave children enough money so they would feel they could do anything but not so much that they could do nothing.” ~ Warren Buffett

By moving away from the large airport hubs, NewLeaf’s business model is focusing on cities with strategic opportunities. Abbotsford, less than 70 kilometres from downtown Vancouver, represents a large population base near the third-largest metropolis in the country. Kelowna is a gateway to the Okanagan Valley, which has easy access to some of the top ski resorts in Canada, like Big White and Sun Peaks. Additionally, Hamilton International Airport is conveniently located between Toronto and Niagara Falls, an approximately one-hour drive to both destinations. This location advantage provides easy access to the largest metropolitan area and some of the most visited places in Canada.
Challenges Ahead
The history of low-cost airlines is not very successful in Canada. Furthermore, a weak Canadian dollar might adversely affect demand, particularly for U.S. sunbelt destinations. At the same time, the weaker dollar might cause snowbirds to compromise on service found in traditional carriers to help address the unfavourable currency exchange. In addition, NewLeaf cannot expect its price challenge to go unmet by Westjet and Air Canada. Both national carriers will try to defend their market share. We have seen failures of lowcost models, including SkyGreece and CanJet. Two other new low-cost airlines, Jet Naked and Jetlines, are waiting on entering Canada’s air-transportation industry. It would be wrong to dismiss this new airline as another flash in the pan. WestJet started with a single Boeing 737 jet flying between Calgary and Edmonton and is now a multi-billion dollar company. We also know the ultra-low-model has been extremely successful in the United States and Europe. This might explain why several experts are enthusiastic about the arrival of NewLeaf. According to Barry Rempel, president and CEO of the Winnipeg Airports Authority, the ultralow-cost business model of NewLeaf would force established airlines to lower their fares. It will be interesting to see if NewLeaf can bite into the market domination of Air Canada and Westjet and whether Canadians will embrace a true no-frills model for air transportation.

With oil and gas drilling at a standstill awaiting liquefied natural-gas export projects, the start of the Site C dam is keeping the lights on for B.C. workers who would otherwise be joining other westerners in the unemployment line. Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said there are 1,547 people now working at Site C, the third hydroelectric dam on the Peace River — and nearly 80 per cent are B.C. residents. “So, all of the dire predictions that this project was somehow going to have to be built by those from other provinces, temporary foreign workers, etc., have proven to be baseless pre-

McDonald said it has proven to be “an ideal time” to build Site C, with interest rates at historic lows and workers available nearby due to downturns in petroleum and mining industries. Bennett said one of the remaining risks to the project budget and local employment is if the rest of the economy improves and competition for skilled workers increases. B.C. Supreme Court and Federal Court decisions have upheld the province’s ability to proceed after aboriginal consultations. The West Moberley and Prophet River First Nations have applied for review of the provincial permits awarded to BC Hydro, and an appeal of one of the earlier cases is also ongoing.

dictions,” Bennett said. It is slightly ahead of schedule and on budget, with more than $4 billion in contracts let to build the main civil works and the turbines and power facilities. Completion is expected in 2024, after the river is diverted near Fort St. John and the earthfilled dam and powerhouse are constructed in the riverbed. Bennett insisted the Site C project is not accelerated for the political purposes of the B.C. Liberals, who are seeking a fifth term of majority government in May 2017. A growing population and economy, plus a push to shift to electric cars and other fuel reduction strategies, are all dependent on increased use of electricity, he said. BC Hydro CEO Jessica
While he’s made his way through thousands of brews in the last year, Patterson said the drinking isn’t the highlight of the work, nor what drew him to beer in the first place. “It’s the sharing of beer,” he said. “I home brew and, when I got home from Europe, I had a 25-litre batch ready to be bottled.

Patterson recalled one barrel-aged red ale, poured out in an Irish brewpub hidden beneath another brewery in Rhode Island. “It was so cloudy you couldn’t see through it, and he’d
added some wood chips — and he said, be careful when you drink it not to drink any of the chips,” he said. “It had almost no carbonation and it was room temperature and it was the best beer I’ve ever had.” National Geographic World Atlas of Beer is due out in October 2017.

Oil producers not expected to make claims in wake of fires THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — Oilsands producers are not expected to be among the recipients of a record insurance payout arising from the wildfires in Fort McMurray, even though some of them had to halt production, which bit into their bottom line. Suncor Energy said it won’t file a claim despite losing more than three-quarters of its total oil production for about a month. Spokeswoman Sheh Seetal said none of the company’s producing facilities were damaged
by the fire — they were shut down due to employee evacuations or precautionary closings of pipelines — and therefore can’t collect on business-interruption insurance. Calgary financial analysts said none of the oilsands companies they report on are expected to file insurance claims for the same reasons. Experts have estimated that 30-million barrels of oilsands production worth up to $1.6 billion was lost due to the fires that erupted in May. The Insurance Bureau of Canada has estimated the fires
caused about $3.58 billion in insurable damage, making it the costliest disaster in the country. About $1.25 billion of that is expected in commercial claims, which would also cover business interruptions. The fires forced almost 90,000 residents from their homes. It also destroyed about 1,800 houses as well as buildings containing 600 apartments or condo units. People have since been allowed back into the community, but it took nearly two months before a state of emergency could be lifted.
Home construction picks up CRAIG WONG
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — THE Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation said the pace of home construction picked up last month, boosted by work beginning on apartments in Ontario and especially condominiums in Toronto. The housing agency said the seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts was 218,333 units in June, up from 186,709 in May. Economists had expected June to come in at 190,000, according to Thomson Reuters. “We’ve argued
that Canadian housing wasn’t going to fall off a cliff, but we didn’t exactly expect it to climb again,’’ CIBC economist Nick Exarhos said. The increase came as the pace of urban starts increased by 18.1 per cent in the month to 202,702 units, boosted by multiple urban starts, which gained 26.7 per cent to 142,819. Singledetached urban starts increased by 1.7 per cent to 59,883. Regionally, the pace of urban housing starts rose in B.C., Ontario and in the Prairies, but fell in Atlantic Canada and Quebec. “Residential
construction activity remains a highly regional story in Canada, as it should given how widely economic conditions differ below the surface right now,’’ BMO Capital Markets senior economist Robert Kavcic said. The health of the Canadian housing market has been a key focus for economists. The Bank of Canada has identified the housing sector as an area of risk and warned the pace of home price increases in the red-hot markets of Vancouver and Toronto is unlikely to be sustained. Kavcic noted the national pace of housing starts looked to
be settling in around 200,000, up from the rate in recent years. “This level of construction activity is somewhat stronger than needed to support demographic demand, but if there is overbuilding starting to take shape, it is largely centred in one area — British Columbia,’’ he wrote in a report. Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 15,631 units. The six-month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rate increased to 197,918 in June compared with 190,302 in May.
A Swift rise up income ranks LOS ANGELES — There’s no Blank Space in Taylor Swift’s bank account. The singer-songwriter tops Forbes’ annual list of the 100 highest-paid celebrities with $170 million. Swift is ahead of fellow chart-topping pop stars Adele at No. 9 with $80.5 million, Madonna at No. 12 with $76.5 million, Rihanna at No. 13 with $75 million and Katy Perry at No. 63 with $41 million. The Shake It Off crooner’s star-studded 1989 World Tour earned more than $200 million last year. Swift’s DJ ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris landed at No. 21 on the magazine’s list with $63 million. Other top 10 earners included boy band One Direction at No. 2 with $110 million, actor-comedian Kevin Hart at No. 6 with $87.5 million and self-proclaimed “king of media” Howard Stern at No. 7 with $85 million. Kim Kardashian is featured on the magazine’s cover. She’s No. 42 on the list with $51 million. Forbes said 40 per cent of her paycheque this year came from her mobile game Kim Kardashian: Hollywood. The game’s maker, Glu Mobile, is scheduled to release an app starring Swift later this year. — The Canadian Press

Don’t let arrogance sink your career; learn from Titanic
JOHN GLENNON
SPECIAL TO KTW
glennon.sandler.com
An Iceberg didn’t sink the Titanic. Arrogance sank the Titanic.
“Captain, Titanic. Westbound steamers report icebergs and field ice in 42 degrees north from 49 degrees to 51 degrees west, April 12. Compliments, Barr.”
The message was delivered to Captain Smith on the RMS Titanic, who made no alteration to his course. When a second warning came in, the captain brought it with
him to lunch, eventually handing it to Bruce Ismay, chairman of the White Star Line. Ismay kept it in his pocket for fiveand-a-half hours before posting it on

the ship’s bridge. A sixth message on the subject that day came from The Mesaba, which warned that the Titanic was heading straight for a vast belt of ice, stretching some 78 miles across her path. In the wire room at 11 p.m., Jack Phillips was so fed up with warnings that his response to another warning from The SS Californian was: “We are stopped and surrounded by ice” and, “Shut up, shut up. You’re jamming my signal. I’m busy.” Forty minutes later, the unsinkable Titanic hit an iceberg. Two hours and 15 minutes later, she slipped beneath the icy waters to make her four-kilometre voyage to the bottom of the ocean, taking 1,500 souls with her. Arrogance happens when, in the presence of warnings and the absence of evidence, you believe you know better. Arrogance sank the Titanic. Arrogance causes you to: • stop asking • stop listening • stop learning Salespeople are arrogant. Great salespeople are aware of their arrogance and manage it well.

NEW LOOK BRONCOS TALK CAMP
JUNIOR FOOTBALL CLUB CLOSING IN ON JULY 23 REGULAR SEASON START ADAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
It’s a different world at Kamloops Broncos training camp. Derek Yachison, the outstanding offensive player of the year for both the B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) and the Canadian Junior Football League and the league leader in yards and touchdowns? Gone. Stephen Schuweiler, the quarterback whose explosive
offence pushed the Broncos on their deepest playoff run in program history and led the league in touchdowns, completions and passing yards in his senior season? Gone. Deep threat and all-star Devin Csincsa? He’s gone, too. Yes, the Broncos will have a new look in 2016, most notably on the offensive side of the ball, which has driven the club throughout much of its history. That stands to change, too. A handful of days into
DRAW DATE: OCTOBER 4TH
training camp, with the 2016 BCFC season looming, the Broncos are looking to the other side of the ball for leadership. “Offensively, we’re going to be young, we lost some talented players there,” said Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka as his team filed onto the Hillside Stadium turf for Day 4 of camp. The Broncos have a record 80 players vying for 55 jobs this year. “Defensively, again, we’ve been saying ‘We’ve been young, we’ve been young,’ for
2 people per week from the Fox and Sahali Liquor Store will qualify from the previous week’s entrants
the last few years — we can’t really say that anymore. We’re looking toward the defence to really carry this team this year, at least for the first little bit while our offence kind of gets on track. “I think it will be an allaround team effort. I think this year, more than ever, we’ll need to play as a complete team.”
See CHANGE A29
A year ago, the situation was remarkably similar for the Kamloops Venom. A championship final against the Vernon Tigers on the horizon, home-court advantage in their opponent’s pocket, Dalan Etter with the club’s goalkeeping fate resting squarely on his shoulders. The Venom can only hope this season ends the same way, too. “It’s definitely déjà vu,” said Venom captain Riley Peterson, the club’s offensive leader. “It’s crazy it has already been a year again and we’re playing this team in their home barn the first game.” Kamloops clinched its berth in the Thompson Okanagan Junior Lacrosse League championship final on Saturday, defeating the South Okanagan Flames 10-6 at Memorial Arena to eliminate the Penticton-based club. It was the Venom’s third win in as many nights as the club swept the best-of-five playoff semifinal. But sweep or not, the series left its mark. The Flames brought a physical game and Kamloops might be without goalkeeper Matt Hans for the series against Vernon after tempers boiled over in Game 2. A Flames’ player ran Hans in the final minutes of that game, sending the goalkeeper to a nearby hospital. He was diagnosed with a concussion and his status for the final is uncertain. “Game 2 in Oliver, that was a big game we had to win and we really came through in the third period. I couldn’t be happier with the boys right now,” Peterson said. “That’s when it started getting out of control.” Etter was in a similar situation in 2015, when goalkeeper Mitch Horsman went down with a concussion in Game 4 of the TOJLL championship. Etter had torn his hamstring in Game 3 of the series, but made a triumphant return as Kamloops’ only option between the pipes, leading his team to a 15-14 victory. See VENOM, A30

Sun Devils stymied at KIBT ADAM WILLIAMS
Will Devick lauches a throw from shortstop as the Kamloops Sun Devils play the Langley Blaze in KIBT action on Sunday. The 7-5 victory against Langley was Kamloops’ lone win of the tournament.
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
If they had kept playing, it could have been different. With the clock ticking past midnight and the score knotted at 10 in the bottom of the 14th inning, the Kamloops Sun Devils and Burnaby Bulldogs were forced to postpone the conclusion of their Thursday night contest at the Kamloops International Baseball Tournament (KIBT), Norbrock Stadium’s automatic sprinklers forcing a hasty conclusion to the undisputed marathon of Day 1. When the field dried and the clubs returned Friday morning, it didn’t go Kamloops’ way, with Burnaby winning 12-11. “I, and everybody in our dugout, believes as bad as we played, with eight errors, if we had kept playing that night, we would have won,” Sun Devils’ manager Ray Chadwick told KTW. He had never seen anything like the events of Thursday night. “We knew that we probably wouldn’t have a chance the next day because our whole lineup was going to change because everybody had to be at work. That’s why we were hoping to play on Thursday night and not have to wait until Friday morning. “They made the decision to wait and it didn’t work for us.” It was the start of a tough weekend for Kamloops. The Sun Devils went on to lose the second game of
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
their tournament on Friday, falling 7-6 in 10 innings against the Northwest Honkers. The club won its final contest 7-5 against the Langley Blaze, but failed to qualify for the playoffs. Chadwick said he had “no idea” what the tiebreaker was that bumped the 1-2 Bulldogs into the playoffs over the 1-2 Sun Devils, but Kamloops had no place in semifinal play. Still, he said, the tiebreaker wouldn’t have mattered if Kamloops had taken care of business in the first two games.
As always, anything short of winning was hard to stomach. “It’s tough whether you lose in extra innings or you lose at all, for our guys,” Chadwick said. “They have been around me, some of them, now for 14 years and they’ve got an attitude where they expect to win whoever we play, whenever we play. “We were expecting to win regardless of how it was set up or how it was done. We still were going to go out and play to win.” When it came to winning, it was again
the Seattle Studs that captured the crown, defeating the Langley Blaze 5-4 in a 10-inning championship game to go 5-0 in the Tournament Capital and win KIBT for the ninth time in the last 10 tournaments. The Seattle-based club also won in 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015. In 2013, no tournament was held. The Studs won $10,000 to add to the $20,000 they captured the previous weekend at the Grand Forks International Tournament.

Change of direction in Broncos’ future From A27
Defence has never been the calling card of football clubs in the Broncos blue and orange. A free-wheeling attack, with a quarterback who could air out the ball to any number of threats in a deep receiver core and a run game led by BCFC outstanding offensive back Jacob Palmarin, has always made up for deficiencies on the defensive side of the ball. But that won’t be the recipe for success in 2016. While Palmarin has returned for his final season and all-star centre Derek Walde will anchor the club’s offensive line, the depth chart at receiver doesn’t boast the talent it once did. Three rookie quarterbacks are competing for the job under centre. Defence will need to be the team’s reputation. “I wanted to bring guys in that could compete to play,” Yamaoka said of the rookie class, which totals roughly 40 of the 80-person group at camp. “I didn’t want to bring guys in that, maybe in four years they’ll get to see the field. I brought
guys in that can see the field, can contribute right away. In that regard, we’ve got a lot of good quality football players here.” Though it’s expected to carry the load in the earlygoing, some of the most heated battles for roster spots are being fought on the defensive side of the ball where a glut of rookies are looking to unseat incumbents. “I don’t want to sound cocky, but I want to be the best player I can. I want to get rookie of the year,” said first-year halfback Tashinga Chickonyora. The six-foot defender came to Kamloops from Medicine Hat with three other high school teammates — another defensive back, a defensive lineman and a linebacker. “I want to work hard and do as much as I can for the team, progress as a player and see where it takes me.” An early frontrunner for a spot in the secondary, Chickonyora will no doubt have a chance to have an impact. Second-year defensive end Tevin McCarty said the Broncos’ linemen and linebackers need to be the defence’s strength,
in order to give players like Chickonyora the opportunity to make game-breaking plays. “We need our strength to be the front seven, for sure,” said the six-foot, 250-pound product of Edmonton’s Salisbury Composite high school. “We need to stop the run. If we can stop the run, make them pass, then we should be in a good spot.” The Broncos open their regular season on July 23 with a road game against the Vancouver Island Raiders. They then return to Hillside Stadium on July 30 to face the defending-champion Okanagan Sun. There’s still plenty to be decided in the coming days at Hillside Stadium, but Yamaoka isn’t making excuses. “You always go into a season with the goal of winning everything. That’s my goal and I believe everyone in our organization, that’s the goal,” the second-year head coach said. “We expect to win. At the same time, we’re a little realistic and everybody’s competing. Everybody has good football teams.”

Kamloops won 10-0 in their second game of the weekend on Saturday afternoon, but lost 7-5 on Saturday morning and dropped two games, 5-4 and 12-3, on Sunday. Hayden Bennett picked up the RiverDogs’ victory on the mound Saturday, pitching a complete game two-hitter, surrendering two hits and two walks, while striking out six in the shutout. The RiverDogs will be on the road next weekend, facing off against the Ridge Meadows Royals and the Tri City Indians.

Heat in playoffs?
The Kamloops Heat are still in the playoff mix in the Pacific Coast Soccer League. After an undefeated weekend — the club won 2-0 against Khalsa Sporting Club and tied
Vancouver United FC 1-1 — a post-season berth will come down to a home-and-home series against Penticton this weekend. The Heat play Saturday at Exhibition Park in Kamloops and Sunday in Penticton. Kamloops needs victories in both matches against Penticton in order to tie fourthplace Khalsa Sporting Club. In the event of a tie, the playoff berth will go to the team with the best goal differential — Kamloops has a four goal advantage on Khalsa heading into the final weekend. Khalsa has already completed its regular season. Kamloops is 2-4-2 on the season, while Penticton is 0-8-0.

Now, he is expected to get the nod in Game 1 on Saturday in Vernon, again with the pressure of the Venom crease squarely on his shoulders. The Tigers and the Venom are no strangers. The clubs have gone head-to-head in the last five championship finals. Each club has won twice in the four series leading up to 2016. “It’s going to be a tough series. They really don’t want us to win, obviously. It’s going to be a good rivalry,” said Venom coach and general manager Brandon Pittman. “They’re a good lacrosse team. It doesn’t matter if it’s a season game or exhibition game or playoff game, when you play Vernon, everything is on the table.” The series in 2015 had it all, from on the floor heroics to off-ice drama. Representatives from each team at times refused to speak to media. Noise-makers were banned in Vernon after a raucous Kamloops contingent made the trip east. Controversy swirled over Kamloops’ use of players returning from higher levels of lacrosse. It all came to an end when a single goal in Game 5 determined the league champion. Kamloops went on to finish fourth in the provincial junior B championship, a result the club would like to have the chance to improve on in 2016. But first, Vernon. “We do not like each other on the floor — that’s an understatement,” Peterson said. “Game 1 is going to be really important to get. They have the home-court advantage, so we’re going to have to win a game on the road. “We know in this series, it’s definitely bragging rights for the next year. We definitely have to win this series.”

Tim Duncan has called it a career, retiring after 19 seasons with the San Antonio Spurs.
as any player to come before him. The announcement comes two months after the Spurs were upset by the Oklahoma City Thunder in the Western Conference semifinals, a sixgame exit that immediately had people wondering yet again if it was Duncan’s last hurrah. Turns out, it was. And like everything else Duncan did in his career — aside from win — he retired quietly, with a statement from the team. “Timmy’s never been a very outspoken or emoting sort of individual on the court,’’ Popovich said earlier this year. “Everybody does it differently.’’ And Duncan was truly one of a kind. In 1997, after an injury to star David Robinson, the Spurs plunged in the standings and ended up with a chance at the No. 1 overall pick. They won the lottery, and it was a nobrainer to choose Duncan, the
polished, two-way big man who had spent four years at Wake Forest. The Spurs won 36 more games in Duncan’s rookie year than they had the previous season and were NBA champions in his sophomore campaign. They also won titles in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014, the last one a dominant run to redemption over James and the Miami Heat after losing to them in seven games the previous season. Here’s how long Duncan was with the Spurs: He had 140 different teammates there. The Spurs won a franchiserecord 67 regular-season games this past season. Despite Duncan’s individual statistics dipping to career lows, coaches and teammates said the impact his leadership, intelligence and defensive presence had continued to be elite. And now he steps away.

Tim Duncan spent nearly two decades as the quiet storm in the middle of the San Antonio Spurs franchise, putting the team on his broad shoulders and carrying it to heights unseen in modern American sports. With Duncan as the focal point, the Spurs won five championships, made the playoffs in all 19 of his seasons and cemented themselves as one of the most successful sports franchises in history. And now, the tireless and reluctant superstar is finally calling it a career. The 40-year-old Duncan announced his retirement yesterday, marking the end of an era for the Spurs and the NBA. “The greatest power forward ever,’’ Los Angeles Clipper Jamal Crawford said, as the tributes to Duncan’s career began coming. Few would dare argue. Duncan was the No. 1 overall pick in 1997 and teamed with coach Gregg Popovich, point guard Tony Parker and shooting guard Manu Ginobili to turn the Spurs from a solid franchise that could never quite get over the hump into one of the league’s superpowers. The unassuming Duncan won two MVP awards and was one of just four players to be named NBA Finals MVP at least three times. Nicknamed “The Big Fundamental’’ for his clinical approach that favoured bank shots over dunks, he was a 15-time All-Star, a member of the All-NBA first team 10 times and is one of only three players — joining Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Robert Parrish — to win at least 1,000 games in his career. He is fifth on the NBA’s career list in blocks, sixth in rebounds and 14th in scoring. Duncan was never one for big endorsement deals or look-atme press conferences, which is why he was often overshadowed in the public eye by more outsized personalities Kobe Bryant, who also retired this year after 20 seasons, all with the Los Angeles Lakers. But Duncan leaves this game as one of the league’s true giants, perhaps the best power forward to ever play and one who left as indelible a mark on his franchise

THE ROBBER
One game I really enjoy is The Settlers of Catan. It is a game in which one collects and trades resources. It would be too easy if one could just simply collect resources and wait for just the right combination. Each turn, two six-sided dice are rolled and resources are generated, except on a seven, when the robber shows up. If you have too many resource cards, you lose one-half of them. Settlers is a three- or four- player game.To the nearest one-tenth of a percent, what is the probability a seven will be rolled during a complete round (everyone getting a turn) if there are three players? If there are four? A PRIZE WILL BE AWARDED VIA A RANDOM DRAW AMONG CORRECT ENTRIES. Send your answer to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Deadline: 4 p.m. Friday, July 15th The correct answer will be published in the July 19 edition of KTW.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Horace Fairman 1930 - 2016
On the afternoon of July 6, 2016 Horace Fairman passed away at Royal Inland Hospital, 86 years after his birth there. He is survived by his wife Alma of 58 years and his four children Ralph (Hildi), Bruce, John (Rose) and Marlene (Randy) and grandchildren Matthew, Garrett, Tristan and Natasha as well as Miss Ellie, his special grandpuppy. He was predeceased by his parents Henry and Mabel Fairman, as well as his three sisters Mabel, Emma and Henrietta. Horace was born on March 11, 1930 and grew up in Kamloops, graduating from KHS in 1948. His father worked for the CNR and every summer growing up, was looked forward to with anticipation as they were spent at the railroad outpost at Mt. Robson. On entering the workforce, Horace’s knack with numbers and bookkeeping soon found him working in the mining offices in Bralorne and then at Mackenzies in Williams Lake. It was here that he met his wife Alma in early 1957. After several attempts at firing Alma because she couldn’t speak English very well (only to have the owner rehire her!), they got married in October of 1957. They started their family after moving to Kamloops in 1959. Horace worked in Kamloops as an insurance broker (including starting his own agency) and office manager for many years. Outside of his family, Horace was very proud of the Rayleigh home that he and Alma built and lived in since 1962. He was happiest being at home surrounded by family. Horace struggled with Alzheimer’s the last two years of his life but still lived at home until his passing.

She is survived by her sisters-in-law Mary Biedka and Adell (Andy) Templeton as well as brother-in-law Joe Boivin (Barb). Mary was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1930. The family moved to Chisholm, Alberta in 1932 and later to the Queensborough area of New Westminster, in 1944, where she and Ed married on November 10, 1951, making this her 65th anniversary year. They gave birth to their children in the Lower Mainland, before moving to Kamloops in 1961. Mary stayed at home with her children, returning to work after the children were all in school. She then worked out at Tranquille, in various positions before ending her work career as a clerk in federal government. She enjoyed many outdoor activities, including golf, camping or retreating to the family cabin at Dominic Lake. Ed and Mary celebrated their 25th anniversary with a Caribbean Cruise. After retirement, Ed and Mary travelled across Canada, with their fifth wheel trailer, as well as many areas of the US. Ed and Mary made many friends during their fifth wheel travelling days, including many members in the Good Sam Club.

ONE FINAL GIFT Scatter me not to restless winds, Nor toss my ashes to the sea. Remember now those years gone by When loving gifts I gave to thee.
Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared. Deny me not one final gift For all who come to see A single lasting proof that says I loved... and you loved me. DJ Kramer

Richard “Dick” Steve Kunz
October 14, 1930 - June 30, 2016 It is with much sorrow that we announce the passing of Andrew Johnston Cook, beloved husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle and friend. Andrew was born in Kelowna to Andrew and Jean Cook on October 14, 1930 and passed away in Kamloops on June 30, 2016. Andrew left school at 17 years of age and went to work for the Department of Highways; he started as a Rodman and worked his way up to Levelman, Transitman and Draftsman. He married Audrey Huxley of Vernon in 1952. Together they moved around the province for eight years with the survey crew, their oldest son being born in Invermere and their daughter in Burns Lake. In 1960 he transferred to Nelson where their youngest son was born. They built a house on Nasookin Road where they lived for 54 years. After moving to Nelson, Andrew learned to play the bagpipes and played with the Kootenay Kiltie Pipe Band for 35 years, he became a Mason and a Shriner. In 1974 he transferred to the Ministry of the Environment with the Water Management branch retiring in 1986 after 37 years with the government. He enjoyed a long and happy retirement spending many hours fishing and gardening. They had many trips together but their first was to Scotland where his parents had immigrated from just before he was born. He was a true Canadian but very proud of his Scottish heritage. In 2013 they decided it was time to move to Kamloops to be closer to family. Andrew passed away peacefully and quietly as he lived with his wife of 64 years by his side. He is survived by his wife, two sons Douglas (Gina) and James (Emily) and his daughter Janet (Don), four grandchildren Christopher (Julie) and Jason Cook, Kristin (Jason) Riozzi and Adam Schleiermacher, three great-grandchildren Oliver Ash and MacAllister Andrew (Mac) Riozzi and Ava Dawn Cook.

Dick always loved a good party with his family and his many friends. He loved to play his guitar and his fiddle. A favorite pastime after his retirement was helping his son with his catering business and going over to his daughter’s home to sit back have a glass of wine with Kathy and listen to all his old time records. Another pastime he loved was playing Keno.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
