#$@&%*! could lead to $$$$$$ out of pocket PROPOSED BYLAW MAY INCLUDE PUBLIC SWEARING

Use a naughty word on city streets and Kamloops bylaw officers could soon be after you with a swear jar. Corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth said the city is looking at new bylaws targeting swearing, fighting and other bad behaviours in public spaces. Measures could come to city council for debate this fall. Duckworth said the city is looking at bylaws such as Nanaimo’s public-nuisance law, which includes $150 fines for public urination and fighting and prohibits “drunkenness, profane swearing or indecent, obscene or grossly insulting language on a highway or in a public place,” as well as obstructing people and traffic. Picketing is excluded from the bylaw. “Certain things like that we don’t necessarily have a bylaw that prohibits that,” Duckworth said. “So we’re looking at tools we can use to ensure that our community is safe and vibrant and welcoming. So we’re looking at what other communities do.” During yesterday’s meeting of the city’s police committee, Duckworth said the goal is to give RCMP and bylaw officers more tools to use against disruptive people who may be loitering downtown or in the Tranquille Market. Calls about unsafe and nuisance behaviour in public spaces are up, with 75 calls compared to 49 by this time last year, while calls about aggressive panhandlers have stayed fairly flat at 37, compared to 33 last year. Complaints of drinking in public fell slightly, with 34 files compared to 45 at this time in 2016.

The Kamloops Chamber of Commerce has criticized a city councillor for attending last PRESENTED BY: week’s Trans Mountain pipeline panel hearing as a private citizen to speak against the proposal. Donovan Cavers appeared at the hearing at Thompson Rivers University, raising the issue 8TH ANNUAL of climate change in his opposition to Kinder Morgan’s pipeline plans. “The elephant in the room is climate change,” Cavers said.

BUTLER: 13 YEARS BEFORE PAROLE ELIGIBILITY CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 42-year-old man who killed his former girlfriend, telling police she was a demon, was sentenced yesterday in B.C. Supreme Court to serve at least 13 years in prison before he is eligible for parole. Christopher Butler pleaded guilty in August of last year to second-degree murder in connection to the death of Deanne Wheeler. Butler immediately notified police after he killed Wheeler on Dec. 20, 2014, when she came with coffee to visit him at his Cherry Avenue apartment in North Kamloops. Justice Keith Bracken said Wheeler’s death has left a shattered family. The 26-year-old was an only child. The 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 seconddegree murder.

Bracken noted Butler’s history of mental illness and his guilty plea as mitigating factors in his sentence. But he sided with the Crown, noting the violent attack was on a former domestic partner who had come to visit him. Butler also has a violent criminal record. Butler admitted to strangling Wheeler with an electrical cord, hitting her in the head with a rock and stabbing her seven times. Butler has been diagnosed with anti-social and narcissistic personality disorders and bipolar mood disorder. While he pleaded guilty early in court proceedings, his often bizarre behaviour in court caused Bracken to send him for a psychiatric assessment last year to determine if he was not criminally responsible due to a mental disorder at the time of Wheeler’s death. Two psychiatrists who examined Butler found he was, more likely than not, able to distinguish right and wrong when he killed his former girlfriend. Butler recounted to police that Wheeler

had a demon inside her when he killed her, telling officers, “I feared for my life and said, ‘Die, demon, die,’” before attacking her. The Crown outlined what it called Butler’s stalking behaviour in the weeks before he killed Wheeler, including visiting her family home three times late at night and scrawling “I love you” on her car. He also told Wheeler’s friend he planned to kill her new boyfriend, telling her, “‘I hope you realize Deanne is setting off a bomb inside of me, don’t you?’” Following the sentence, Butler turned to Deanne’s father, Elwin, and apologized directly to him, as he did during the sentencing hearing earlier this month. “I hope you find some closure in this sentence,” Butler said in a flat tone. Elwin Wheeler declined to speak with reporters after the hearing. In a victimimpact statement, he told the court Deanne’s death resulted in the hospitalization of her mother for 18 months and has crushed the family with grief.

City looks the other way while MP urges action on marijuana retailers CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

hill out, dude. City hall and the Kamloops RCMP are taking a laid back attitude to enforcing marijuana laws in contrast to the sporadic busts that have occurred from Toronto to Nanaimo.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW The Canadian Safe Cannabis Society on Tranquille Road was raided by Kamloops Mounties in 2011. Charges against owner Carl Anderson were later dropped, on the eve of a consititutional challenge from defence lawyer Shawn Buckley.

In both Osoyoos and Penticton, municipal governments recently issued notices for marijuana dispensaries to shut down. In Osoyoos the city is bringing in a bylaw specifically banning medical pot shops, while Penticton is considering a Vancouver-style licensing scheme. Kamloops mayor Peter Milobar said

thereâ€™s been no discussion among councillors nor from staff about clamping down on dispensaries, which are selling marijuana contrary to federal laws. â€œIt hasnâ€™t come up with council or the police,â€? Milobar said, adding there is little interest in enforcement action. â€œIt boils down to letting the police deal

Today there are two marijuana dispensaries operating in Kamloops â€” longtime shop Canadian Safe Cannabis Society on Tranquille Road and newcomer Starbuds, which has recently opened outlets in a number of Interior cities, including Osoyoos where it was shut down by the city. A third operator, Kamloops Dispensary Society, shut down several months ago. Kamloops RCMP did take action in 2011, raiding Canadian Safe

Cannabis and charging its owner, Carl Anderson with possession of a controlled substance. The raid occurred before the then-Conservative government brought in legislation to provide medical marijuana to patients from commercial producers through Canada Post. The Crown dropped charges against Anderson two years ago on the eve of a constitutional challenge. Neither Anderson nor representatives of

should enforce laws against dispensaries until the federal Liberal government changes the country’s pot laws, expected next year. “We have laws in place. To the degree we have capacity and resources, we should enforce them.” Kamloops lawyer Shawn Buckley, who represented Anderson, said he was disappointed when the Crown dropped charges against his client. “That dispensary was set up tighter than any I’ve seen. It was a defence counsel’s dream. . . . He [Anderson] was so meticulous.” Last year, a federal court judge struck down a Conservative law that made it illegal for patients to grow their own marijuana, in effect grandfathering licensed producers under the old system.

McLeod believes the Liberal government should appeal the federal court decision, which has led to what some call a wild west market for medicinal pot. One of the victims, she said, is landlords who discover too late their tenant is a grandfathered licensed producer. “I’ve heard from landlords who are absolutely beside themselves. They would rent, unbeknownst to them, to people who grow and people’s houses are getting ruined. . . . There’s nothing they can do about it.” The Liberal government has promised to bring in legislation to legalize marijuana in the spring, creating a recreational market. It has not indicated what measures, if any, it will take on medical marijuana.

Starbuds agreed to be interviewed for this story. While there is a legal alternative to dispensaries, RCMP in Kamloops have not taken action. In an email, the Kamloops detachment said there is “no legal mechanism that allows for medical marijuana dispensaries or compassion clubs to sell marijuana to the public.” But RCMP here declined to state whether it will enforce laws prohibiting local sale. “In regard to enforcement of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, every case will have to be assessed on its own merits. Marijuana shops are operating illegally and outside the regulations.” City MP Cathy McLeod said RCMP

Kamloops marijuana dispensaries Canadian Safe Cannabis Society (CSCS) and Starbuds seem to taking federal dope-dealing regulations seriously. KTW sent an undercover reporter into both stores looking for grass, the scribe looking to score without a prescription for weed from a doctor. At CSCS, there is a waiting room adjacent to the main doors. After pressing a buzzer, a woman opened the doors. The store had opened at 10 a.m. that morning. Five minutes after opening, the central room inside CSCS was packed with people and the smell of marijuana permeated the air. The lady asked the reporter if he had been there before. When he said no, he was whisked into a private room for a brief interview. She said all customers must have a prescription before CSCS would sell them medicalmarijuana and added the best way to get one was by visiting a family doctor or making an appointment with doctor Ian Mitchell. KTW said thanks and left the North Shore dispensary, setting course for Starbuds downtown. The lady at the front desk said the reporter would need a prescription or proof of diagnosis before Starbuds would sell him weed. She handed over Mitchell’s card and provided several other options. The reporter was given a pair of forms which can be brought to a family doctor — a Practitioner’s Confirmation of Diagnosis form and a Request for Release of Information form. Both forms ask for signatures from practitioners and assure the patient’s information will remain confidential. Once returned to Starbuds, KTW would be allowed to purchase product, the receptionist said. Starbuds Kamloops also has its own consultant who can prescribe weed and KTW was invited to make an appointment.

Water is a limited natural resource, so you don’t want to rely on guesswork when watering your lawn and gardens. Over-watering and under-watering can result in unhealthy turf and plants and costs time and money.

6 Tips for Smart Irrigation Regular maintenance

Check for leaks, broken or clogged sprinkler heads.

Adjust the delivery angle of heads

Avoid watering sidewalks or structures and ensure necessary clearance over growing plants.

Install a rain shutoff switch

These inexpensive devices can be retrofitted to almost any system and are effective at preventing watering in the rain.

Consider ‘smart’ technology

Climate or soil based controllers evaluate weather or soil moisture conditions and then automatically adjusts the irrigation schedule to meet the specific needs of your landscape.

Consider micro-irrigation

These systems slowly and precisely apply a small amount of water to minimizing evaporation, runoff and overspray.

Ninety days in jail for hiding child porn on work computer TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A former Thompson Rivers University administrator who was fired after getting caught hiding child pornography on his work computer will spend 90 days behind bars. But it’s not yet known what other sanctions, if any, will be connected to Andrew McKay’s sentence. The 55-year-old was charged after a backlogged office printer at TRU spat out an image of a naked teenager in front of an unsuspecting co-worker two years ago. Crown prosecutor Evan Goulet said yesterday the incident unfolded on May 12, 2014, when McKay’s co-worker, Lincoln Smith, went to pick up a document from a shared office printer. At the time, McKay was the director of graduate studies at TRU. “There was a backlog at the printer,” Goulet said. “When Dr. Smith was able to fix it, a backlog of items came out of the printer. One of those things that came out was a colour photograph of a pubescent girl, 12 or 13 years old. “It’s a selfie-style photograph of this girl taken by herself and she’s topless.” Court heard Smith took the photo to McKay, who took it from him. “He suggested Dr. Smith destroy the photograph because there was no way to determine where it had come from and he started to proceed to the shredding area,” Goulet said. Smith took the photograph back and notified TRU’s IT department. McKay eventually admitted to Smith that the photo was his. Police were later called and McKay, a 23-year employee of the university, was fired a short time later. Police seized McKay’s work computer and found three images of child pornography — the selfie, a photo of a topless undeveloped girl and a picture of a

ANDREW MCKAY

young girl with her bra undone — as well as encryption software and a “secure-delete” program. “He stated it was to delete the files because he didn’t want to get caught with them at work,” Goulet said. “He’s obviously a well-educated man, an intelligent man. He professes . . . he’s very good at being rational and solving problems. In the Crown’s assessment, that’s evident in his use of encryption software and securedelete software as well.” Following his guilty plea last year, McKay was ordered to undergo psychological testing. Goulet said the doctor who performed his assessment said McKay exhibits signs of hebephilia, a sexual attraction to people between 11 and 14 years of age. “Dr. McKay has been aware of this for some time,” Goulet said. “He appears to structure his life in a way that he’s not around minors, basically.” McKay’s guilty plea carries with it a mandatory minimum 90-day jail sentence, which Goulet and defence lawyer Shawn Buckley agree is appropriate, as well as a mandatory order he register as a sex offender for 10 years. He must also submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. Goulet asked for two years of probation with terms including limiting Internet access, mandatory counselling and limited access to children. Goulet is also seeking an additional term that McKay be barred for a decade from volunteering or

working with children. Buckley opposed that, arguing McKay believed he was not breaking the law. Buckley presented to court a number of examples of readily available images of child nudity — including a book from the TRU library — he said were more graphic and sexual than the photos found by police on McKay’s computer. “He actually looked at the child pornography line and believed he was not crossing that line,” Buckley said. “We’re talking about photos that Mr. McKay believed were not child pornography that he held onto for a very long time. “His concern was actually that he was violating the university’s terms of use, which do not allow you to use computers for personal purposes.” Buckley called McKay’s images “the tamest child pornography” and compared the content to what one might see on a European beach. “Child nudity isn’t illegal in Canada, child pornography is,” he said, presenting the book Immediate Family, which he said he found in the TRU library. “It’s interesting that Mr. McKay is fired from TRU when it was very easy to attend at the university and obtain in the possession of the university library some images which are more graphic and, in my view, some more suggestive than the ones that got Mr. McKay fired. “When Mr. McKay was saying, ‘I looked at the legal line and I thought I was staying on the right side of the line,’ that wasn’t an unreasonable position for him to be taking.” Buckley said McKay sold his home in Kamloops and now lives in Celista. He is working a job out of his field, court heard. Kamloops provincial court Judge Mayland McKimm reserved his decision on whether McKay will be allowed to work or volunteer with children. McKimm is expected to hand down his full decision at a later date. FREE

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers got wet on the weekend at the Merchants’ Market downtown, but he does not feel like he’s in hot water, despite the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce’s opinion on Cavers’ view on pipeline expansion.

Cavers: Speaking from ‘personal perspective’ From A1

“The Chamber believes that, when one accepts the role as an elected official, one must be prepared to publicly accept and adhere to the formal position of the organization,” Scorgie said. “This is a standard adhered to by politicians at all levels and city officials should not be exempt from this.” Cavers disagrees with the Chamber on multiple grounds.M He told KTW council has neither voted on a position nor discussed it N THIS TIO AD

at a meeting. “The reported neutral stance of council is not an accurately neutral stance,” he said. “We haven’t had a vote. What council has basically done is not have any vote at all.” Cavers also said his comments at the hearing weren’t pessimistic, but realistic and informed. While saying he would rather divert the focus from him, Cavers noted he would publicly oppose the project again, reiterating his position as a private citizen, not a city councillor.

“I was just speaking from my own personal perspective,” he said. “It’s an important issue. Climate change is not something we can sweep under the carpet and it’s silly to do that with serious issues.” Cavers said the average person may not have wanted to speak publicly, but he did so with “thick skin.” “I don’t expect people going about their daily lives to be that informed about things like climate change,” he said, noting there’s “huge money” putting out information to “confuse the public.”

SILVER LINING IN LOUSY WEATHER

bviously, it hasn’t exactly been a stellar Kamloops summer, the past weekend notwithstanding. That’s an understatement as many locals have been complaining and wondering where all the rain is coming from and why the temperatures are more Coastal cool than Interior hot. Apparently, if the meteorologists can be trusted, that will continue to change as the rest of this week is supposed to continue with the warm spell. And there’s a silver lining to all the clouds that have been dominating the horizon through the first month of summer. Drought levels have been downgraded to Level 1 (least risk) in most of the Thompson-Okanagan, according to Shauna Weir of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resources. So, our water situation is looking good this deep into summer and, with respect to forests, the fire situation has been a non-starter in these parts so far. This is all good stuff that takes some of the bite out of a sad summer so far. However, as anyone who has lived here any length of time can tell you, August is pretty much guaranteed to be hot and dry and situations can change considerably in the blink of an eye. Keeping that in mind, let’s all continue to conserve water and observe safe practices when it comes to camping and campfires. With any luck, we’ll soon have the best of both worlds: the rest of the summer, during which we may be able to enjoy the good weather in the great outdoors without blanket campfire bans and extended sprinkling restrictions. Get out there and enjoy Mother Nature — fall is less than two months away.

Crisis decades in making

ith a bit of grumbling behind the scenes, our 85 MLAs have trekked back to Victoria this week to deal with an emergency summer legislature sitting. The stated purpose of this brief session is to comply with a demand from Vancouver city council for the ability to impose additional property tax on vacant residential properties. Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, a former NDP MLA who likes to direct provincial affairs when he isn’t issuing instructions to Ottawa on pipeline policy, should be careful for what he wishes. B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong was happy to drop this hot potato in his lap and now Vancouver City Hall can try to determine who is vacationing for a few months and who’s holding an investment property while living somewhere else. When NDP Leader John Horgan began calling for a speculation tax of 1.5 per cent on offshore investments, de Jong cited a Vancouver survey that showed the number of vacant properties in the city was declining, even as prices were climbing rapidly. Horgan argues that Metro Vancouver is in the grip of a housing bubble that must be caused by foreign money. “If wages have been stagnant for a decade, which they have, where is the revenue coming from to inflate these prices?”

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA Horgan asked last week. “It’s coming from somewhere else. And that’s not sustainable over the long term.” Another point likely to be made repeatedly this week is that the province stopped collecting citizenship and residency data on real-estate purchases back in the late 1990s. De Jong changed that this spring and, with great fanfare, rolled out the first three weeks of sales data from June. They showed only three per cent of purchases of B.C. residential real estate were from foreign buyers, mostly from China. They were concentrated in Metro Vancouver and accounted for about five per cent of the total value, which suggests they were for higher-end properties. This was assailed from all sides. Not a big enough sample size, doesn’t prove anything, etc. We have one of those situations I call coffee shop consensus. Everybody “knows” it’s Chinese money pouring into B.C. and that many homes are being left empty, even if the

actual evidence doesn’t show that. Seattle has a similar problem with real estate in choice locations, by the way. Down there, the coffee shop consensus seems to be that it’s those darn San Francisco and Silicon Valley grillionaires who are driving up prices beyond the reach of working folks. Blaming foreigners is a great narrative. We saw the same thing with B.C. campgrounds. Utter nonsense, but it has “truthiness,” as U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert says. Truthiness comes from the gut, not the brain. In a recent radio interview with CKNW’s combative talk show host John McComb, de Jong put forward another theory. He mentioned the aim of hosting Expo 86 and the 2010 Olympics was to put Vancouver on the global map — and it seems to have worked. Whistler has worked as a world destination, too, as galling as it may be to those who insist these were all costly failures. The real-estate boom has had ripple effects in Victoria and other urban centres, with bidding wars for choice homes. And it’s beginning to reverse a long trend of depopulation from small communities and rural areas, as people are forced to look for something they can afford. It’s also produced an urban building boom, including the rental market. There are worse problems to have. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

DO NOT FEAR GENDER-NEUTRAL WASHROOMS Editor: Re: Audrey Wright’s letter of July 21 (‘Not fan of gender-neutral washrooms’): I’m glad Wright has taken a play out of the fear-mongering textbook to describe the horrors of sexual assault and kidnappings that take place in all gender-neutral washrooms — because these crimes never took place anywhere else but in such washrooms. A kidnapper would never wait in a male-only/femaleonly washroom. I feel she is mistaken about the purpose of the washroom. If a father has a small daughter who needs to use the restroom in a park without genderneutral washrooms, he faces a dilemma. Does he take his daughter into the men’s washroom, where she will see men “stripping in front of her,” as Wright states? Or does an adult man go into the women’s washroom.

where young girls and women of all age will be “stripping” in front of him? Vice-versa for a mother and her young son. What if a male/female caretaker has a female/male patient who cannot use the washrooms on their own? Which restroom do they use? Parents can accompany their children in the washroom or wait outside, should they choose to do so. The new gender-neutral washroom in Riverside Park will accompany each and every person who chooses to utilize it. Even Wright can use the washroom should others be full. This isn’t about being politically correct; it’s about accessibility for everyone. The city can see it. Our local MP can see it. Why can’t Wright? David Morris Kamloops

UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE

Editor: There seems to be a misunderstanding about the new washroom in Riverside Park. There are many people who care for someone of the opposite gender. The washroom will make it possible for them to enjoy the park. That is what genderneutral is all about — a person caring for a disabled spouse, a caregiver supporting a disabled person, a parent with several little children. The washroom is very well designed. Many people are very grateful for it. Mona Banek Kamloops

KAMLOOPS SPCA: WE WANT TO BE ACCESSIBLE TO PUBLIC Editor: Re: Angela Coulson’s letter of July 19 (‘Clinic is the cat’s pyjamas’): I am very pleased to hear that the cat hospital in Kamloops was able to come to the aid of Coulson and her cat in their time of need. However, Coulson indicated in her letter that she contacted the SPCA and that we neglected to return her calls or emails. We know that in order to help animals, we must also help people.

Mueller : ‘Zero tolerance’ for group intent on crime ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

he city’s top cop says Kamloops RCMP will crack down on transients who “don’t want to help themselves,” but without more bodies in uniform it can’t keep up the pace. “We recognize that there’s a group, a longstanding group of people who are marginalized in Kamloops who are working to help themselves,” Supt. Brad Mueller told the city’s Co-ordinated Enforcement Task Force yesterday. “But there’s also a group we’ve identi-

Drivers distracted in July It’s been an expensive July for Kamloops drivers who can’t put down their phones. Kamloops RCMP Supt. Brad Mueller said police have issued $24,000 worth of distracted driving tickets in the first 24 days of July. That amounts to about 45 tickets, Mueller said, adding the numbers show there is a need to continue cracking down on cell phone use behind the wheel. — Andrea Klassen fied that are intent on creating social discord, living on the prevails of the crime, and it’s those people we’ve taken a zero tolerance with. And we’ve taken a firm stance we’re going to be enforcing all the statutes and bylaws and criminal code that we can.” For months, law enforcement and

social agencies have reported mounting numbers of transient people moving into the Kamloops area who have no previous connection with the city. According to the city’s bylaw enforcement department, calls about transient camps are up 56 per cent compared this time last year, with 245

files compared to 160 last year. “A lot of the people we’re running into have no ties to Kamloops. They’ve openly admitted that. They say they’ve heard Kamloops is a good place to stop,” Mueller said. Many of the new faces are arriving from out-of-province, and may have outstanding

warrants in other parts of the country that haven’t been extended to B.C. Police have stepped up patrols in the downtown and Tranquille Market, but the extra cops on the street are only free until fall, when many of them return to jobs as school liaisons or other seasonal roles, Mueller said. Mayor Peter Milobar said the city would be willing to pay for more police to keep the patrols running, but until Ottawa sends more bodies to the city, there’s not much council can do. The city asked for 10 additional Mounties as part of its 2015 budget, but the increased manpower has yet to arrive. “The city has the money sitting there. We don’t have the person to fill the seat. We’re working with E Division and the Southeast section to get those members here,” Milobar. “Obviously there’s vacancies in a lot of detachments, but Kamloops is very well

known as needing those positions filled.” Mueller said he’s hoping the city’s nonprofits and social agencies can find ways of their own to help deal with the issue. “By the time the police become involved people are in crisis, people are desperate. But there’s been a breakdown of a lot of other social functions before the police get involved,” he said. “We need everyone to take an active part in dealing with these issues. We can’t arrest our way through these issues.”

NORTH SHORE

As police and bylaw officers step up their presence in downtown Kamloops, the head of the North Shore Business Improvement Association said he wants to make sure his neighbourhood isn’t left behind. Steven Puhallo said businesses on the North Shore are concerned transient people who’ve been pushed out of the downtown could

arrive en mass in the Tranquille Market, without law enforcement following behind. “Our merchants are really worried that what happened in 2006 in 2007 will happen again,” he said, referring to years when the North Shore was home to the city’s red light district and seen as a hot spot for trouble. “It took us 10 years last time to get out from under this,” Puhallo told the city’s co-ordinated enforcement committee. Mayor Peter Milobar said he thinks any issues Tranquille could inherit from the downtown will be temporary. “I think what we’re seeing happen is as life becomes uncomfortable for the criminal element they’ll move around. And they’ll become uncomfortable again wherever they set up shop and eventually either because of the courts or them on their own volition they’ll decide to leave town,” he said.

‘Bike Guy’ pleads, but will keep tinkering TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

The black-market “Bike Guy” of Kamloops will be allowed to ply his

trade on stolen bicycles despite being busted red-handed this week while dismantling a stolen RCMP bait bike. Terrace Rudachyk pleaded guilty in

August 19•20•21 2016

Kamloops provincial court on Friday to one count each of possession of stolen property and possession of breakin instruments, as well as an unrelated charge of attempted theft from a vehicle. The 37-year-old was arrested last Thursday morning after police were alerted to a bait bike activation. Court heard the bike had been placed by police near the north end of Overlanders Bridge at about 8:30

a.m. and began to move about three hours later. Using GPS information, Mounties found the bike in a wooded area near the shore of the Thompson River off Tranquille Road. Officers spotted Rudachyk standing with the bike, attempting to dismantle the seat. He was with a group of women. Crown prosecutor Mike Wong said Rudachyk had a wrench and a bolt from the bike in his hand when he was

placed in handcuffs. Wong asked for a short jail sentence and a probation term preventing Rudachyk from possessing such tools. But, defence lawyer Jeremy Knight said, Rudachyk needs to be able to continue to help people with their bikes — even if they’re stolen. “He likes to tinker,” Knight said. “He’s become known a bit as ‘The Bike Guy.’ People bring him their bikes.” Knight said

Rudachyk is often aware the bikes he’s working on are stolen, but Knight said that doesn’t make him a thief. “He’s certainly wilfully blind to the fact that the bikes are stolen,” he said. For his part, Rudachyk said he’s always been a tinkerer and he likes helping others. “Most of the time, I do it for kindness,” he said in court. “But sometimes, if the person pays me, they pay me.

“It’s been a hobby of mine my whole life.” Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickey sentenced Rudachyk to a seven-day jail term to be followed by a year of probation — but he did not bar him from possessing tools. “I’m not going to make any restrictions on the use of tools,” Dickey said. “I do that because of what I’ve heard and the fact he has no prior record of property offences.”

Rio: After the finish line

TRU prof says consequences of hosting Games go beyond sport

JESSICA KLYMCHUK

STAFF REPORTER

jklymchuk@kamloopsthisweek.com

ne of Thompson Rivers University’s newest faculty members is weighing in on the controversy surrounding the summer Olympics. The International Olympic Committee was in the spotlight last week when it was revealed Russia ran a statesponsored doping program between 2011 and 2015, introducing another challenge facing the Rio Games set to begin Aug. 5. While the cheating scandal forced the committee to make an unprecedented decision on banning athletes, it has been less pressed to take responsibility for humanrights violations caused by hosting the Olympics. Thompson Rivers University law professor Ryan Gauthier — who was in support of a blanket ban on Russian athletes — said the IOC’s duty to protect athletes is just one of its responsibilities. Gauthier focused his PhD research on the accountability of the IOC and problems that occur when cities host major sporting events. Rio de Janeiro, like other cities that have hosted the international competition, is facing an economic crisis as a result. “Sochi set the bar really low,” Gauthier said. “Sochi was bad. “Rio is bad because the Games are being held in a country that has never organized the Games before. They don’t have the resources or the infrastructure. “No matter what, it was going to be risky.”

The Harvard Law graduate said while Sochi’s use of forced labour highlighted a major concern, human-rights violations have continued in Rio, where local government has used the Olympics as an excuse to clear out favelas, Brazilian slums. It has displaced thousands of people to make way for private developers to build Olympic infrastructure. “Nobody is held accountable for that,” Gauthier said. The IOC has historically denied responsibility for such problems, since it doesn’t organize the logistics of hosting the event and doesn’t have a human-rights mandate, he said. “They are recognizing that argument isn’t so good anymore. That’s only happened in the past year. So the big problem is no one is being held accountable.” Gauthier said it’s up to the IOC to demand organizers adhere to better standards and, if they don’t, to withhold TV profits or refuse to allow the country to host future events. But simply barring countries with substandard human-rights records from having the Olympics isn’t an option, he said. “You are going to run out of countries real quick. There needs to be a minimum bar of competence, but I don’t think the IOC needs to go and change human rights in a country. They need to at least make sure the folks who are working on the Games are treated properly.” The Rio Games have been plagued by concerns surrounding Zika virus but, Gauthier said, Guanabara Bay poses a much more serious health risk. Swimming and sailing events will be held in what the professor called a “cesspool”

IOC allows Russia to compete LAUSANNE, Switzerland — The umbrella organization representing national anti-doping agencies is disappointed that Olympic leaders did not ban Russia completely from the Rio de Janeiro Games. The International Olympic Committee has instead left it to individual sports to decide whether they want to exclude Russians from next month’s event. Joseph de Pencier, chief executive of the 59-member Institute of National AntiDoping Organisations, said the IOC “failed to confront forcefully the findings of evidence of state-sponsored doping in Russia corrupting the Russian sport system.’’ Pencier has also rebuked the IOC for not finding a way to allow doping whistleblower Yuliya Stepanova, who has been “treated disgracefully’’ by Russia, to compete in Rio. The IOC rejected an application by the 800-meter runner who helped to expose the doping scandal to compete under a neutral flag at the games because she has been previously banned for doping. Pencier said “it is a sad day for clean sport.’’

Decision welcomed by committees

Local government in Rio is using the Olympics to justify evicting residents from favelas, Brazilian slums.

that has proved to cause skin infections. Brazil has made little effort to improve environmental problems. Gauthier said the IOC has a responsibility to ensure athletes are competing in safe conditions. Lastly, the Rio Games are $1.6 billion over budget — not high in Olympic standards, but will economically cripple the city and impact health and education funding. Rio competed against Chicago, Madrid and Tokyo in the bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics and won by making big promises it couldn’t nec-

essarily live up to, Gauthier said. “Even before the economy had a downturn, Brazil just doesn’t have the money to deliver. It’s always risky when you host an event in a country like this.” Comparatively, Gauthier said Sochi’s Olympic venues have gone largely unused since 2014, calling it a “ghost town.” The continuing drain on national finances to keep facilities open causes a lot of problems, he said. “Rio is pretty standard for this kind of stuff. I don’t think anything is truly unexpected.”

The body representing the 204 national Olympic committees has welcomed the IOC’s decision not to impose a blanket ban on Russians from the Rio de Janeiro Games. The International Olympic Committee’s executive board decided to let individual sports federations decide which Russians should be eligible, following allegations of state-sponsored cheating by World Anti-Doping Agency investigator Richard McLaren. Sheikh Ahmad Al-Fahad Al-Sabah of Kuwait, president of the Association of National Olympic Committees, said the “allegations made in the McLaren report were shocking and directly threaten the integrity of sport.’’ But Sheikh Ahmad believes “banning the entire Russian team would have unfairly punished many clean athletes.’’ He endorsed the IOC’s decision to give “international federations responsibility to ensure clean competitions in their sports at Rio 2016.’’ — The Canadian Press

Lake Life

www.kamloopsthisweek.com

Invest Well. Live Well. Coming up with the cash: Cabins in BC (and virtually across Canada) are expensive. The majority of us will require some type of financing and lenders often have stricter rules around cabins. Some properties on even the most desirable lakes do not qualify for financing at all.

Our family loves spending time on many of the beautiful BC lakes. The other night around the campfire, a few couples got to talking about what it takes to buy a cabin on a lake or ski hill. Cabins provide the opportunity to gather, have great times & build a family legacy. Before jumping in head first, here are some considerations:

Generally you will need to come up with at least a 20% down payment and finance the rest using the available equity in your cabin or home through refinancing or using a home-equity line of credit. If you are selling investments to make the purchase, consider chatting with your advisor and accountant to make a tax-friendly plan.

Cabin wish list: From location to long-term use, create a list of what is important to you and your family. How far are you willing to drive? Are you looking for something with all of the amenities, or maybe something a bit more rustic? How often will you be hosting family and friends and potentially need extra space? Will you use the space year round? How much maintenance is required? (Landscaping, renovations, snow removal, etc.)

Draft a sample budget to ensure you can afford all 12 months of costs for perhaps only a few months of pleasure. Overhead such as taxes, leases, utilities, strata or condo fees and the like can easily add over $10,000 per year in costs. Remember to also budget for furniture, beds, linens, dishes, utensils and other sundries. Garage sales, classified ads and online communities can be a great way to save as you outfit your cabin.

We recommend trying the lifestyle for at least one or two years before committing a large amount of time and money into buying a cabin.

a tax specialist beforehand. Check your insurance. Do you need additional or special insurance if you are renting?

Plan for the long term: While you can picture yourself in a cabin now, be sure to think ahead three, five and 10 years: Do your kids/grandkids enjoy being at the lake? Does your family have busy sport or social schedules that will limit your enjoyment of the recreational property? Are your kids/grandkids only a few years away from being at an age where independence, friends and part-time jobs take over? Do you want to pass on your cabin to the next generation? What will this look like? Could you be in a situation where you need to sell quickly? Real Estate can take months or even years to sell. Lastly, if you own a cabin that has appreciated significantly in value, it may make sense to designate it as your primary residence and qualify for the capital gains tax exemption. The primary residence exemption allows every family (limit of one per couple since 1982) to designate one residence they wish to claim as their "primary residence" and would be exempt from paying capital gains upon sale. By doing so you could potentially save tens of thousands of dollars. This is a complex strategy with some moving parts and the use of a tax professional is highly recommended.

Considering renting it out? This can be a great way to help pay for your slice of paradise. Keep in mind the most popular weeks you want to be at the cabin are often the most lucrative for renting. Consider leaving the long weekends to the renters and enjoying top dollar revenues. A few tips: Do your research. Airbnb and VRBO are popular websites for seeing what comparable cabins are renting for. Get it is writing. A rental agreement covering items such as number of guests, pets, rules, and damage deposits can significantly improve your renting experience. Consult a professional. There are tax considerations for renting out a cabin and we recommend consulting

Hopefully this helps give you something to think about the next time you are sitting around a campfire. Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

PREMIERS BLAST U.S. LUMBER CLAIM

U.S. seeks to reduce cap on Canadian lumber sales

BLACK PRESS

remier Christy Clark and other provincial and territorial leaders have written to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, asking him to refute the latest lumber trade action by U.S. interests. “Unfair and inaccurate allegations of Canadian lumber subsidies” have been made by 25 U.S. Senators to U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman, seeking a reduced cap on Canadian lumber sales, the premiers wrote from their meeting in Whitehorse this week. The premiers cited decisions by the World Trade Organization and NAFTA in 2006 that found Canadian subsidies to be less than one per cent and ineligible for trade action. Trudeau and U.S. President Barack Obama reported progress on negotiating a new softwood lumber deal after their meeting in Ottawa in late June. Trudeau and Obama’s joint statement acknowledged the increase in cross-

New rules in effect for mine tailings ponds TOM FLETCHER

www.brukermarina.com

The latest changes to B.C. mine regulations bring the province closer to its goal of preventing another tailings pond failure, according an independent expert who investigated the 2014 dam breach at Mt. Polley mine in the Cariboo. Dirk van Zyl, professor of mining and the environment at the University of B.C. and one of three outside reviewers of the Mt. Polley failure, said the changes to B.C.’s Mining Code meet the recommendations made by engineers who examined the failure. “These changes put B.C. in a leadership position and clearly set the groundwork for a more comprehensive approach to consistent tailings management in the province,” van Zyl said in a statement Wednesday. “It is another step towards the overall goal of moving to zero tailings storage facility failures.” Energy and Mines Minister Bill Bennett said the changes to construction, water management and inspection can’t be expected to prevent every small release of water from a mine tailings pond in heavy rainfall. But he is confi-

Changes to mine regulations follow the dam breach at Mt. Polley on Aug. 4, 2014.

dent the new regime will prevent major failures, even when unknown factors such as the weak layer under the Mt. Polley dam exist. “Now we are prescribing a factor of safety that I think will account for the things you don’t know,” Bennett said. The proposed Ajax copper and gold mine immediately south of Kamloops initially had plans for a dry tailings stack, but has since revised its plans to create a tailings pond. Al Hoffman, B.C.’s chief inspector of mines, said the new code has specific requirements for inside “beaches” to reduce pressure on the base of a tailings dam, the height of water allowed, the number of motion detectors on the dam and the frequency of inspections. The new code requires every existing B.C. mine with a tailings pond to have an inde-

pendent tailings review board in place by the end of 2016, with annual reports to be posted online. That falls short of a recent recommendation by B.C. Auditor General Carol Bellringer that mine oversight should be independent of the ministry that issues permits and promotes mining investment. Bennett said he remains convinced that the technical nature of permits with hundreds of conditions makes the people who issue them the best qualified to enforce them. NDP energy and mines critic Norm McDonald said Mt. Polley was required to have supporting beaches and went for years without them, and also reported its water levels incorrectly before the dam failure. New rules will only make a difference if they are enforced, McDonald

said. The Mt. Polley independent report concluded that a layer of glacial till material at the base of the dam near Williams Lake wasn’t understood in enough detail when the dam was designed and built in 1997. Later raising of the dam to hold more water and tailings put pressure on the base layer and led to the failure. The B.C. Conservation Officer Service continues its investigation of the Mt. Polley incident and has authority to recommend charges for the environmental damage done by the failure. The Mt. Polley dam has been repaired by owner Imperial Metals and the mine reopened, with work continuing to rebuild Hazeltine Creek and the shore of Quesnel Lake, where a torrent of water and tailings poured down on Aug. 4, 2014.

NewLeaf flights to begin Saturday NewLeaf Travel Company took to the skies from Kelowna, Hamilton and Winnipeg yesterday as the nation’s latest discount air-travel company tries to establish itself in the market. NewLeaf, which is in partnership with Flair Air, is scheduled to begin flights from Kamloops to Edmonton and Victoria beginning on Saturday, July 30, and on Saturdays and Wednesdays thereafter. The total round-trip cost for both flights has been pegged at $158. When it originally launched in January, NewLeaf billed itself as an alternative to airline

juggernauts like Air Canada and WestJet by offering bargain-priced “no frills” flights. It advertises flights for as low at $79 oneway including all taxes and fees. But just a week after the company started selling tickets, it hit some turbulence over whether it needed a licence to operate. NewLeaf contended that it did not require a licence because it does not operate airplanes and only resells seats from Kelowna, B.C.based Flair Airlines. In late March, the Canadian Transportation Agency

(CTA) ruled in favour of NewLeaf and cleared the runway for the company to resume ticket sales. Flair Airlines owns and operates a fleet of Boeing 737-400 jets and is licensed under the CTA. Flair Airlines will provide the pilots and crew members. NewLeaf said it can offer discount airfare tickets because it flies out of smaller airports with lower landing fees and makes customers pay fees for extras like carry-on and checked baggage, priority board and call centre assistance. • Meanwhile,

NewLeaf has added a bidding process to its service with the help of Jump On Flyways. Bids on potentially unsold seats can be submitted on any of NewLeaf’s launch destinations at gojumpon. com. Jump On receives bids and presents them to NewLeaf, which may accept high bids at its discretion. NewLeaf may accept bids at any time, but no later than 48 hours prior to a flight’s departure. If a bid is accepted, the bidder’s credit card is charged and a ticket is issued by NewLeaf 48 hours prior to departure.

Clamping down on oil transport WELCOMES Pierre Etienne GIUSEPPE VALIANTE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Older and less robust railway tanker cars will not be able to transport crude oil in Canada as of Nov. 1, six months earlier than planned, Transport Minister Marc Garneau confirmed yesterday. The DOT-111 cars are the same kind that were involved in the Lac-Megantic, Que., tragedy in which 47 people died three years ago. The new directives are for crude oil only, Garneau said, and all other flammable liquid will continue to be transported by rail in the country by DOT111s until 2025. Garneau said while he was able to accelerate the phase-out of DOT-111s for crude, the government needs to be “realistic’’ about other materials.

“The reality is that in this country we transport a huge amount by rail — hundreds of billions of dollars worth a year — and you can’t do everything in one shot,’’ he told a news conference. “Here we have the opportunity to do something very concrete on the crude oil side — which is extremely important — and I am very proud of it.’’ DOT-111s without a thermal layer of protection will be banned from transporting crude on Nov. 1, six months earlier than planned. For tankers with the thermal layer, the ban kicks in on the same date, 16 months earlier than scheduled. By April 30, 2025, DOT-111s will not be able to transport any flammable liquids by rail in Canada. Garneau said tankers carry-

ing crude originating from the United States that are not up to code will not be able to cross the border and violators will face penalties. He wasn’t able to give details on the amount of the fines. Garneau said there are about 30,000 DOT-111s without a thermal layer transporting crude oil on railways in North America. He didn’t have a precise number for the cars with the protective layer. On July 6, 2013, a runaway freight train pulling 72 crudeoil laden DOT-111s derailed and exploded, killing 47 people and flattening downtown LacMegantic. Residents there want the federal government help pay for a bypass track that would remove all trains from running through the core of the town.

Special blankets can help newborns Newborns deprived of oxygen at birth will soon have improved chances of surviving without brain injuries thanks to a portable transportation cooling device in southern Alberta. Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary is one of the first care facilities in Canada to purchase the device, which is believed to be more reliable in keeping temper-

atures cool when babies are moved. Katie Kaminski and Curtis de Vries credit the cooling blanket for the condition of their daughter Tegan, who is now very active at 13 months, after doctors discovered the baby was in trouble when she was born. “They did an emergency C-section and the doctors realized she wasn’t breathing, she’d lost a lot of her blood. So

they initiated the cooling process and we’re really glad they did,’’ Kaminski said. “She stayed cooled for 72 hours and then they warmed her back up. She’s just been really healthy. We’re very thankful for everything everyone did for us.’’ The usual treatment has been to simply turn off heat sources or use cold gel packs to lower infants’ temperatures in

an attempt to prevent brain damage. But those methods have their drawbacks. “With those methods, it can be difficult to maintain a stable temperature,’’ said neonatologist Dr. Khorshid Mohammad, who spearheaded the purchase of the device. The machines cost between $35,000 and $40,000. — The Canadian Press

B.C. imposes foreign buyer tax on Metro land deals TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.caa

The B.C. government is imposing a new 15 per cent tax on property purchased in Metro Vancouver by non-Canadian citizens or residents. The tax is to take effect Aug. 2, Finance Minister Mike de Jong told the B.C. legislature yesterday at a special session called to deal with the spiralling cost of real estate in parts of urban B.C. The tax does not extend to municipalities outside Metro

Vancouver, but could be amended to include those later. De Jong said revenue from the tax will go into a new provincial fund to provide rental and social housing. Some revenue from a recent increase in B.C.’s property purchase tax on high-end homes may also be directed to the housing priority initiatives fund, which is being started up with $75 million in seed money from the provincial treasury. The new 15 per cent tax will be imposed on purchases by foreign nationals and foreign controlled

corporations, intended to discourage investment by non-residents. In the budget in February, de Jong increased the property purchase tax to three per cent on value of homes more than $2 million, and raised the exemption level to $750,000 for the purchase of new homes, in an effort to encourage new supply. The property purchase tax continues to apply at one per cent on the first $200,000 of resold homes, and two per cent on value between $200,000 and $2 million. It has produced a windfall of

revenues to the province in a hot real estate market in southern urban areas. Premier Christy Clark said there will be more details in the coming months on how the province will use the new housing fund. She said the 15 per cent foreign buyer tax was chosen after examining similar taxes in Singapore, Hong Kong, London and Sydney. “There is evidence now that suggests that very wealthy foreign buyers have raised the overall price of housing for British Columbia,” Clark said.

Oil spill triggers shutdowns THE CANADIAN PRESS

PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. — The sighting of an oily sheen on the North Saskatchewan River from last week’s Husky Energy pipeline leak has prompted the City of Prince Albert to shut down the intake at its watertreatment plant. City manager Jim Toye said the slick was spotted near the Saskatchewan community of more than 35,000 shortly after 6 a.m. yesterday. “Right now, we are not receiving any water into our plant from the North Saskatchewan River,” Toye said. Toye said the city’s reservoirs had a twoday supply of water and the city could get permission from Saskatchewan’s Water Security Agency to tap its storm retention pond for treatment and distribution. That would add another four to five days worth of water. Work was already underway to lay out a temporary pipeline stretching upwards of 30 kilometres to draw water from the South Saskatchewan River, should the water emer-

gency continue for a much longer period. It was hoped work on the line could be completed within the next two days. Prince Albert city council was also holding a special meeting yesterday to discuss what Toye called “drastic’’ water-conservation measures that would include no watering of private lawns, golf courses, city parks and water fun parks. Car washes, laundromats and any other businesses that consume high volumes of water would also be closed. Toye pointed out that anyone caught breaking the rules would face a $1,000 fine. “We need a deterrent. This is a very serious situation,’’ said Toye. “We don’t want anyone thinking this doesn’t apply to them.’’ North Battleford, which is farther upstream on the river, shut off its water supply intakes on Friday and is relying on a limited supply from wells. The oil pipeline that leaked near Maidstone, Sask., last Thursday runs from Husky’s heavy oil operations to its facilities in Lloydminster. It carries oil mixed with a lighter hydrocarbon, called a diluent, that is

added to ease the flow. Between 200,000 and 250,000 litres escaped. Husky has been working since last week to clean up the spill. But Wes Kotyk with the Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment said Sunday that about 100,000 litres had been collected so far. Kotyk also said officials don’t know how long the cleanup could take, since the plume of the spill has broken up and slicks can get hung up on bends and take time to move along the river. Environment and Climate Change Canada intended to use aerial surveillance to help build a model to determine the spill’s impact. Kotyk also said Sunday that three birds are confirmed to have been affected. He said Husky has established a program for recovery with the Wildlife Rehabilitation Society of Saskatchewan. Jan Shadick of Living Sky Wildlife Rehabilitation said three birds were brought to them on Saturday coated in oil. She said one died and the other two are recovering.

“And if we are going to put British Columbians first, and that is what we are intending to do, we need to make sure that we do everything we can to try to keep housing affordable, and to try and make sure those very wealthy foreign buyers find it a little bit harder to buy a house in the Greater Vancouver area.” The housing legislation introduced also imposes new regulation on the B.C. real-estate industry, replacing self-regulation with a new Real Estate Council appointed by the provincial cabinet.

Balancing crime, privacy HALIFAX — Judges, lawyers, legislators and law-enforcement officials from around the world are meeting in Halifax to discuss the unique challenges of delivering justice in the digital age. Members of the International Society for the Reform of Criminal Law say they will tackle issues such as cyber-stalking, cyberbullying and Internet luring at their 29th annual conference. Organizers say the anonymity of the online world, along with the lack of national boundaries, creates space for virtually untraceable criminal activity. But they say technology has also provided tools to fight crime through surveillance and informationsharing. They will look at international co-operation in the fight against cybercrime, human rights implications of sharing personal information, boundaries of surveillance and the use and potential abuse of personal data. — The Canadian Press

Broncos lose in Nanaimo Kamloops struggled on offence in season-opening game MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

In the words of the late Dennis Green: “They are what we thought they were.” The Kamloops Broncos struggled offensively, as the young, inexperienced unit was expected to early in the B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) campaign, and the Vancouver Island Raiders did not let them off the hook, cruising to a 37-14 victory in Nanaimo on Saturday. “Offensively, we couldn’t really get much going,” Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka said. “That’s where the struggle is and we knew that going into the game. We need to get the offence going to have any success. We struggled, but there are a lot of learning spots.” Standout players such as quarterback Stephen Schuweiler, offensive lineman Cameron Brown and receivers Devin Csincsa and Derek Yachison graduated from junior football after the 2015 BCFC season and the Broncos missed them on Saturday. Turnovers plagued Kamloops (0-1) and provided Vancouver Island (1-0) with advantageous field position on multiple occasions. To the home team’s credit, it made the most of the Broncos’ blunders. “Defence is pretty much just energy,” V.I. defensive lineman Nathan Warawa told the Nanaimo News Bulletin. “We came out, we get two and outs, we get two and outs, we get a pick in one play and then we go and sit and then watch the offence and they feed off that, too. So, if we get the momentum going, if we start it on defence, then it carries over.” Tailback Nathan Berg had an impressive day running behind the Raiders’ offensive line and scored Vancouver Island’s first

touchdown on a four-yard rush late in the first quarter. Rookie quarterback Jake Laberge threw two touchdowns, 15 yards to Dustin Rodriguez in the second quarter and 47 yards to Brycen Mayoh in the fourth quarter, and John Paisley found paydirt on an 80-yard punt return major. Not to be outdone by Paisley, Kamloops safety Jordan Angove roasted the Raiders’ specialteams unit and scampered 100 yards for a kickoff-return touchdown in the fourth quarter. “He came up big for us,” Yamaoka said of Angove, who also had an interception on Saturday afternoon at Caledonia Park. Angove echoed his coach’s sentiments, noting it was the “little things” that cost Kamloops — missed opportunities, indiscipline and, the big one, turnovers. “I thought the defence actually played really well,” Angove said. “I was quite surprised, in a way, because there are quite a few new guys. It’s hard to keep them to a low point total when they’re always starting in our half.” Quarterback Colby Henkel and receiver Brett Ablitt combined on the Broncos’ only offensive touchdown, a 20-yard strike in the fourth quarter. First-year linebacker Jesse Zajaros received special mention from Yamaoka for his performance, which included a fumble recovery. Garrett Kryzanowski also had a fumble recovery for the visitors. Recording sacks for Kamloops were Cory Yeast, Michael Ochoa, Kurtis Mutschmann and Oso Okojie. Defensively for the Raiders, Warawa had a sack and a fumble recovery. Kaelan Botel and Matt Hill also recovered fumbles. Alex Eberling had an interception and Cory Fletcher and Doug

Thornton each had sacks. “We turned the ball over a lot and we made a lot of rookie mistakes, I guess is the best way to put it,” Yamaoka said. “It was little things, fumbling a handoff, stuff like that, things that we can fix, things that aren’t indicative of the way we’re going to keep playing this season I hope.” Henkel and Sebastian Bel are fighting for the No. 1 job under centre for the Broncos. “Colby started and played well in the first half, once he got settled,” Yamaoka said. “Sebastian came in in the second half and played fairly well, but ended up getting hurt in his second series. “They both did good things. It didn’t make anything much clearer for us.” The Broncos will watch film and make corrections this week during practice at Hillside Stadium, aiming to prepare themselves for a daunting Week 2 matchup — a date with the juggernaut Okanagan Sun of Kelowna. Game time is 7 p.m. on Saturday at Hillside Stadium. “I thought we played all right, not great,” Angove said. “We made a few small mistakes that cost us the game. We’ll be able to fix those up and, hopefully, win next week.” SIDELINES — In other BCFC weekend action, the defending champion Okanagan Sun travelled to Chilliwack and defeated the Valley Huskers 56-14. The Kelowna-based Sun erupted for 35 points in the second quarter as new head coach Ben Macauley recorded his first Canadian Junior Football League victory . . . The Westshore Rebels hosted the Langley Rams on Sunday, with the Rebels winning 42-34. — With files from the Nanaimo News Bulletin

Track improvements at Kamloops BMX are nearing completion, with the local club set to host the Cactus Classic Nationals from Aug. 19 to Aug. 21 at its Ord Road home.

Nationals return

RIDERS FROM ACROSS CONTINENT COMING TO KAMLOOPS

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops BMX is going national for the first time since moving to its new home in 2014. The Cactus Classic Nationals — an event expected to attract between 800 and 1,200 riders from across North America — will run from Aug. 19 to Aug. 21 at the local club’s Ord Road track. “It’s been quite a few years since we’ve held it,” club president Jaff Babuin said. “We normally rotate through the Okanagan, between Penticton, Kelowna, Vernon and us, but because of the move of the track, we got out of the loop. Now, we’re ready to go.” Kamloops BMX moved to Ord Road in 2014 from its former home on McArthur Island, where it had been located since 1980. “This event is good advertising,” Kamloops BMX vicepresident Ryan Messere said. “It brings awareness that the

club’s there. We haven’t really been out promoting the track because we’ve been working on making the facility better. We’re almost done that.” The clubhouse and motoshed are nearing completion — and the track is in great shape, Messere said. “Even in the last four weeks, since we hosted provincials, we’ve put down blacktop, some recycled asphalt where there was dirt and we improved the corners and ridability of the track,” he said. The Cactus Classic Nationals, a BMX Canada event at which National Age Group points will be earned, are not just for elite riders and Babuin is inviting BMXers of all ages to the track. Spectators are also welcome. For more information, call Babuin at 250-682-6699, go online to bmxcanada.org or check out the Kamloops BMX Facebook page. Most of the big-name BMX pros will be riding on other circuits or strutting their stuff at the Olympic Summer Games

in Rio, but fully sponsored, elite riders are expected to attend the Kamloops event. Kamloops BMX hosts race nights each Thursday, with registration opening at 5:30 p.m. “BMX is a great sport for anybody who’s into riding bikes,” Babuin said. “It’s a great way to develop skills and crosstrain. Come check it out and see if you like it.” The club has rebounded from a burglary last October that saw about $10,000 worth of equipment go missing, including bikes, a compressor, a start box that runs the gate, a publicaddress system — and even the stickies given to kids following races. “We’ve had help from other BMX clubs and some local businesses and the Blazers Legacy Fund,” Babuin said. “We put it toward the moto-shed and getting that finished. There’s stuff we haven’t replaced yet, but we’re getting by without it.” The Cactus Classic Nationals should help put that dark chapter even further in the rearview mirror.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Memory Of

Julie MollyAnn Cowan March 3, 1969 – June 18, 2016

Kenna Eveline Cartwright

Julie MollyAnn Cowan of Kamloops, BC passed away on June 18, 2016 surrounded by her loved ones. Julie was 47 years of age.

June 4, 1938 - July 26, 1991

Julie Mattioli It is with sad hearts, the family of Julie Mattioli wish to announce that she has finally found rest with her loving God at the tender age of 94 and a half years on July 20, 2016. Mom was born in Humboldt, Sask, the 5th of ten children into a pioneer farming family that is still in operation today.

Julie is survived by her four daughters Jamie (Thomas), Amanda, Grace and Shaylyn, her siblings Tim, Quent and Kim Cowan and her grandchildren Brooklyn and Parker.

She was predeceased by her husband Tino in 2004 and her first grandchild Trevor Frolek in 2001. She will be sadly missed daily by her children Bob (Lynn) Mattioli, Donna (Ray) Frolek and Rick (Philomena) Mattioli and her daughter Kelly.

She is predeceased by her mother Dawn (Sharwyn) Iwanik.

She is also survived by grandchildren Brian (Julie) Mattioli, Bonnie (Brodie) Kempton, Trinity Frolek (Chad Affleck), Jason (Sophia) Mattioli, Stephen Mattioli, Ben Mattioli, Sarah Mattioli and great-grandchildren Amber and Jacob Frolek (Trevor’s children), Matthew and Beth Mattioli (Jason’s children), Mallory and Amanda Affleck (Trinity’s children) and Logan and Barrett Kempton (Bonnie’s children).

Julie was a devoted mother, sister and friend. She was a dedicated, longstanding employee of Independent Grocery. She will be remembered for her commitment to her family and to her work. She will be deeply missed by her family, friends and all who knew her.

25 years ago we lost an amazing woman. A woman we were truly blessed to have in our lives. Kenna was a daughter, sister, wife, mother, aunt, mother-in-law, grandmother and friend. She was a listener, leader, advocate, lab tech, sports enthusiast, nature activist, entrepreneur, author, photographer, politician and mayor. Not a day goes by that you are not thought of and missed dearly.

A small group of family and close friends will gather at Riverside Park on August 20, 2016 for a Celebration of Julie’s Life. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Julie’s memory to the Canadian Mental Health Association at www.cmha.ca

You touched the lives of so many people in such positive ways.

She will also be sadly missed by her dear friends of 70 years Sam and Eileen Corea.

You led by example every day of your life.

Many thanks to the first responders for their professionalism and kindness and to the doctors, nurses and staff of 5N for the exemplary compassion and care shown to our mom and family.

We strive to follow in your footsteps. Thank you for your selflessness, wisdom, courage and strength.

A tree will be planted in Julie’s memory at Riverside Park in the fall of 2016.

You continue to be an inspiration to us all.

Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Forever in our hearts, Stu and Kim Cody, Margo and Keegan Caitlin, Ryan, Isabella and Mason

250-554-2577

Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Friday, July 29, 2016 at 11:00 am at Sacred Heart Cathedral with Father Paul Simms Celebrant. Interment will follow at Hillside Cemetery at 2:30 pm.

John Henry Stewart May 29, 1931 – July 7, 2016

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of John Henry Stewart at Seniors Village in Williams Lake, BC. John, along with his twin sister Pamela, was born in Brantford, Ontario. He lived in Brantford until he was 21, when in 1952 he joined the Army and became a Lance Corporal in the Signal Corps. He later joined the motorcycle display team and performed in events all over North America. A signalling mistake during a motorcycle display landed John in the hospital; he met and fell madly in love with a nurse on his care team. John and Joyce (Marrs) later married and in 1955, they were both honorably discharged from the Army. John and Joyce relocated to Joyce’s hometown of Duncan, BC (Cobble Hill) where John decided to upgrade his schooling. Receiving his journeyman electrician papers from BCIT, John worked at the Bamberton Cement plant until it closed. In 1975, the family (including six children) relocated to Fraser Lake, BC where John worked at Endako Mines. Endako closed and in 1988 John was offered a semi-retirement job on a fish farm with his eldest son in Zeballos, BC. John loved Canada and spent many vacations traveling to the far reaches of the country with his wife and family. The couple also spent some time traveling Canada in a motorhome once their children had grown. In 1993, John and Joyce retired to a float house in Nuchatlitz Inlet in Nootka Sound. John spent his days fishing, exploring, hunting and entertaining visitors with his cookies. When storms battered the float house, the couple decided to move to dry land and settle in Celista, BC. Volunteering was a large part of John’s life. He had volunteered much of his time to various organizations in the communities the family resided in. John’s calm manner, wit and humor made him a very well-liked man. He had a bratty grin that said so much without saying a thing. John H. Stewart is predeceased by his brothers Roy, Albert and David. He is survived by his wife of 60 years Joyce, his twin sister Pamela and brother Daniel, children Rodger (Tanis), Kathleen (Scott), Andrew (Linda), Gordon (Jackie), Charles and Agnes (John), grandchildren Sean (Anita), Ashleigh (Rob), Graham, Nathan, Carver, David, Jordan, Taylor and Chase and great-grandchild Myla. He will be greatly missed. In memory of John, please dedicate some of your time to volunteer at one of your local community groups.

Should you move more than 100 kilometers from where your original advance arrangements were made, your prearranged funeral services are fully transferable and will be honoured by any Dignity Memorial provider in North America.

Garden Party for David A. Bossert

David’s family will be holding a “Garden Party” in his memory on Saturday, July 30, 2016. Friends, family and work acquaintaces are all welcome for a barbecue. No formal ceremony is planned so guests are free to come and go. It will be held at 822 Evergreen Place from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm, Kamloops.

Helen Aileen Stamp-Vincent Helen A. Stamp-Vincent passed away peacefully in Kamloops, BC on May 15, 2016 at the age of 94. Lovingly remembered by sons Brent Stamp-Vincent (Deidre) of Penticton, BC, Gordon Stamp-Vincent (Maatje) of Kamloops, BC, daughter-in-law Catherine Stamp-Vincent, grandchildren Fraser Stamp-Vincent (Sara), Catherine Border (Justin), Christopher Stamp-Vincent (Kathleen), Chelsea Stamp-Vincent and great-grandchildren Carter, Davis, Lucas, Frances, Liam and Quinn, nieces and nephews and dear friend of almost 90 years Terri McColl of Calgary, AB. Mom was predeceased by her son Robert (Bob) Stamp-Vincent in 1992. We would like to thank Dr. Hamilton and the staff of Kamloops Seniors Village for their kind and compassionate care for the past two years. She was so appreciative and as family it gave us great comfort knowing that in her final days she was surrounded by people that cared so deeply. Mom was born in Medicine Hat, AB in 1922, the 3rd of five children. She grew up in Magrath, AB, married Fred Stamp-Vincent in 1946 and moved to Ocean Falls, BC. Brent was born in 1947, Bob in 1950 and Gordon in 1956. Other than a very short period in Port Alberni, Ocean Falls was home until the family moved to Castlegar in 1960. Mom moved to Kelowna in 1994 taking great pride in her flower beds and enjoyed socializing with friends and neighbours. To Mike and Evelyn Caruk, you were truly special friends. Mom’s mobility began to suffer as she approached her 90th year. When Gordon and Maatje moved to Kamloops in 2013, Mom followed shortly after in the spring of 2014, finding a wonderful residence in Kamloops Seniors Village to live out her remaining days. A Celebration of a Life well lived will be held on Saturday, July 30 2016 at 2:00 pm at the Southwest Community Church, 700 Hugh Allan Drive, Kamloops, BC with Pastor Shane Wiebe officiating. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Messages of condolence may be sent to gordonsv@telus.net or 2898 Squamish Court, Kamloops, BC V2E 2K9.

Beverly Ann Todoruk We are deeply saddened by the passing of Beverly Todoruk on July 21, 2016 in Kamloops at 70 years of age. She was a devoted wife, daughter, sister, aunt, cousin and friend. Julian will deeply miss his beloved wife of 50 years. She will be mourned by her uncle Archie Delange, siblings Shirley McConnachie, Candy Delange, Rolly Delange, Dianna Gonchias, Donna Gonchias and Joan Gordon and also by the many loving brother and sister in-laws, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends. She was predeceased by her mother Georgina Sharkey, aunt Noreen Delange, Elaine (Lanny) Atchison, Debbie Delange, Penny Spencer, as well as her brother-in-law Merv Todoruk and in-laws Mike and Olga Todoruk. Bev was born in Wetaskiwin, Alberta in 1945 and shortly after they moved to the Okanagan where she completed high school and took her hair dressing course. Julian met Bev in Revelstoke over 50 years ago. Julian’s occupation took them to many locations throughout BC. Bev happily went with her husband to many small communities where she quickly set up her hair dressing chair. For 40 years, Kamloops was their home where she continued as a hair dresser for a total of 51 years. Bev loved to golf, garden, play games, take pictures, spend time with family, cook and bake for family and friends and spend some of the winter in Phoenix, Arizona.

A Vanished Friend by Anders Lim

Around the corner I have a friend In this great city that has no end; Yet days go by, and weeks rush on, And before I know it a year has gone, And I never see my old friend’s face, For life is a swift and terrible race. He knows I like him just as well As in the days when I rang his bell, And he rang mine. We were younger then, And now we are busy, tired men, Tired of playing a foolish game, Tired with trying to make a name. “Tomorrow, I will call on Jim, Just to show that I am thinking of him.” But tomorrow comes and tomorrow goes, And the distance between us grows and grows, Around the corner, yet miles away “Here’s a telegram, sir,” “Jim died today!” And that’s what we get, and deserve in the end, Around the corner a vanished friend!

RE/MAX Real Estate (Kamloops)

MARKET MOVING TO KAMLOOPS In 2015, the ThompsonOkanagan had the highest population growth rate in B.C., which stimulated the region’s overall economy. According to the CPABC Regional Check-Up, a report by the Chartered Professional Accountants of British Columbia, the red-hot Vancouver housing market looks to be making its way east, having spillover effects on the region. Some Lower Mainland homeowners are cashing out and relocating to the interior. This has resulted in higher prices and record real-estate sales.

The influx of roughly 8,000 new residents to the region resulted in a nine per cent increase in housing sales, which has driven housing values up by 3.1 per cent and spurred a 6 per cent increase in housing starts. The boom in the housing market was expected to stimulate job creation in both construction and real estate related services. However, while real estate was up by 500 positions, construction, particularly in road, utility and residential, showed a contraction of employment However, the decline in

residential construction employment suggests overstocked housing inventories may have been drawn down. Additionally, the population increase has led to a boom in the service sector, which saw its third consecutive year of gains. Seven of 11 industries within the service sector reported increased employment in 2015. The 3,800 new service sector jobs were concentrated in transportation and warehousing; other services; and the business, building, and other support service industries.

LINDA LOVE Living throughout BC over the years, I believe Kamloops is the best place to live and have made this city my home these past 16 years. All the moving meant buying and selling homes frequently, and I dealt with different types of Realtors — learning from each one and taking the best information they had to share. After 14 years as a Realtor I still like to treat my clients how I would like to be treated.

Location, location, location. Extensive views from all the windows on the front of the home. Mid-level entry 3 bdrm home all on a .50 acre lot. Professionally updated kitchen for the person that loves to cook with a heated floor. Beautiful wood burning rock faced fireplace up and down. Great patio for family barbecues and entertaining. An above ground pool and hot tub. Tons of updates done to this home, using modern colors on the walls, newer hardwood floors, roof, furnace, windows, sundeck, patio, asphalt and more! Close to shopping, eateries, University, schools and transit. Above ground pool and hot tub incl.

Timing is important in today’s hot market. See how I can help you beat other homebuyers to the hottest new homes for sale in Kamloops. I would “LOVE” to help you buy or sell your home.

KAMLOOPS AND DISTRICT MEET

Make the most of your first impression. New listings create a lot of interest, making it important for sellers to get their pricing right. I have spent my adult life in Kamloops, and have been a realtor for 11 years. I help sellers develop the right asking price to attract attention and get maximum return. Setting a fair market value on your home gets the most out of interested buyers. Too low a price leaves thousands of dollars on the table, and too high a price scares away buyers and leaves your home on the market for too long. Bring your questions, and let’s chat about pricing your home in Kamloops.
