A First Nations grandmother claims her arm was broken and ribs were cracked at the hands of a Kamloops Mountie. Vancouver resident Sherry Peters was in Kamloops last week visiting family. She said she suffered multiple injuries while being arrested after having a medical incident on the North Shore. The 57-year-old told KTW she laid down and clutched her chest on a North Shore sidewalk on Aug. 2, worrying she might be having a heart attack. A passerby called an ambulance and police were also dispatched to the scene. “An ambulance came and they said it doesn’t sound like you’re having a heart attack,” Peters said. “All the sudden, a cop came up and really grabbed me. “They were telling me to do something and I didn’t hear them. All the sudden, I get slammed to the ground. Then stomp, right on my arm.” Peters admitted to having consumed liquor earlier in the day but said she was sober when police and paramedics showed up. She was arrested and taken to the drunk tank. The officer Peters claims assaulted her is a senior member at the Kamloops detachment with the rank of corporal. Once in cells, Peters said, she asked another officer for medical help. “I says to the constable, ‘Look at my arm,’” she said. “He just looked

enough growing up in foster homes being abused. Why should I be abused from officers?

Jodi Shelkie confirmed Peters was arrested on Aug. 2, but that’s about all she would say. “If she wishes to come in to the Kamloops RCMP and make a public complaint, she’s welcome to do so,” she said. “Or, alternatively, she can use the CRCC [Civilian Review and Complaints Commission] process.” Shelkie said any potential internal investigation wouldn’t take place until a complaint had been filed. “Unless there’s a complaint, we wouldn’t investigate anything — we wouldn’t know what to investigate,” she said. “But, we more than welcome her to come in.” Peters said she planned to meet with a Kamloops lawyer on Monday before returning home to Vancouver. “I want them to know they can’t get away with doing this stuff,” she said. “I went through enough growing up in foster homes being abused. Why should I be abused from officers? “They’re supposed to be out there protecting us, not punching us out or breaking our arms.” DL 30329

'I had no idea there were rats in Kamloops' ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

When Dale Wagner went out to water tomatoes one morning in late July, it became clear the rodent she’d been trying to trap for the last several days was no ordinary mouse. “The tomatoes were completely hollowed out, just kind of a tomato skin hanging on the vine,” she said. A few days later, the same creatures were in her nectarine tree, chewing the fruit down to the pit. Wagner, a Thompson-Shuswap master gardener, assumed she was dealing with squirrels or the pack rats native to the region. The large black rats she trapped were an unwelcome shock. “I had no idea there were rats in Kamloops. None whatsoever,” Wagner said. A visit from a pest control company confirmed it. Black rats — sometimes known as roof rats — had burrowed under her garden shed. Wagner pulled out what remained of her garden and continued laying traps, eventually catching six rats. “If they’d been in those boxes looking for food, I wasn’t going to eat it. So I took it all down,” she said. Wagner isn’t the only Valleyview resident reporting rats this summer. Michelle Jean discovered the rodents after finding birdseed scattered on the

WILDSAFE BC PHOTO

Watch the video online at kamloopsthisweek.com/rats WildSafe B.C. recently released video footage of a large rat searching for food in a residential composter in the Interior. Provincial co-ordinator Frank Ritcey said the rat population is booming in Kamloops due to milder winters and an abundance of food.

ground in her yard. Between her trapping efforts and the family cat, she told KTW she’s caught eight black rats. “They’re stupid smart,” she said. “They’ve been able to get bait out of the traps without setting the trap off, which is a problem because they just keep coming for the bait.” When Jean turned to Facebook, more reports of rat sightings rolled in. She’s concerned the city could be looking at the same population boom that’s plagued communities in the South Okanagan, where rats have became enough of a concern that the Regional District of Okanagan Similkameen offered to cover 50 per cent of extermination costs for homeowners last year. Biologist Rick Howie, who plans to mount a study of

the city’s rats this fall in partnership with Thompson Rivers University, said so far only roof rats are confirmed in the city. While there are rumours of Norway rats in the city, he has yet to see a local specimen. Howie suggests the rats may have come on trains or trucks from the Lower Mainland, before spreading to a number of neighbourhoods, including Brocklehurst and Westsyde. WildSafe B.C. provincial co-ordinator Frank Ritcey agrees the rat population in Kamloops appears to be booming, fuelled by milder winters and an abundance of available food in the city. “If people aren’t tending their compost properly, if the food isn’t breaking down fast enough, there is a ready food source for the rats. It is an issue and I think that people

have to start managing for rats,” he said. Birdfeeders will also attract the rats, which are adept climbers, and Ritcey said chicken feed from newly legal urban hens could also bring rodents if residents choose to scatter food on the ground instead of using troughs. While communities in the Okanagan are beginning to take action, city of Kamloops sustainability supervisor Glen Cheetham said he hasn’t heard many reports of rats here yet. “We’ve heard anecdotally, like you have, that a couple people have concerns, observations, but there hasn’t been any evidence that this is anything other than normal encounters with rodents,” he said. Cheetham said he plans to reach out to regional districts already battling rats to see what tactics they’ve used and encourages residents to seek expert help if they believe they have rats on their properties. “We’re going to make sure we’re on top of it and make sure we’re aware of things,” he said. For residents who want to tackle the issue themselves, Mary Ellen Dalgleish, Purity Feed’s resident trap expert, said it’s better to use traps than poison, and to look for traps suited to the type of rodent. “Try and figure out what you’re after, more than anything else, and then address how to trap it,” she said.

Man handed 15 months for KRCC attack CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A KRCC inmate was triggered by his own sexual abuse as a child when he carried out a vicious beating on a man who was jailed for child luring, his lawyer argued in B.C. Supreme Court. David Mack, 40, pleaded guilty to assault causing bodily harm on Stewart Kerr. Crown lawyer Catriona Elliott said

Mack, Kerr and another inmate were in a small holding area in March last year waiting for a doctor’s appointment. Video from the holding cell shows Mack walking over to Kerr and delivering a series of punches to his head, throwing him to the concrete floor and kicking him. Kerr did not move for at least a minute after the attack but eventually got up and collapsed on a bench. Afterward, both the

victim and perpetrator made efforts to clean up blood in the room. His injuries included a broken orbital socket, broken cheekbone and extensive damage to his teeth. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said Mack’s attack was triggered by conversation during which Kerr “downplayed” his conviction for child luring. Kerr was transferred to KRCC the day before. According to a Vernon Morning Star

story, Kerr was arrested when he attended a fast food restaurant in Vernon to meet what he thought was a boy he was communicating with online. The person on the other end was an RCMP member, part of the force’s integrated child exploitation unit. “He [Mack] was severely sexually assaulted when he was approximately the same age as Mr. Kerr’s [alleged] victim,” Campbell said.

“Mr. Mack has a son about that age.” Mack has a long criminal record, including for violent assaults. The Crown asked for two years jail, while Campbell argued for the 11.5 months Mack served awaiting his sentence. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Keith Bracken sentenced Mack to 15 months jail along with a year of probation. With credit for time served, he has another 3.5 months left to go.

Nuisance house bylaw low on council's list CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city is bringing in a bylaw — slowly — to deal with nuisance houses like the 13th Avenue home where RCMP recently responded to a report of shots fired. In 2014, Kamloops council gave the go-ahead for staff to develop a nuisance property bylaw modelled after a policy in Nanaimo. It also received the support of RCMP.

David Duckworth, director of corporate services and community safety, said the bylaw was recommended by the last council. While it remains on the books, it is a lower priority for current councillors, which is slowing its development. The bylaw is officially dubbed nuisance abatement and cost recovery. Late last month, shots were fired at a home on 13th Avenue. Police found a shotgun in an alley. Several

STEEL NEVER HAD IT SO COMFORTABLE.

months prior, police responded to what was reported as shots fired at the home but was determined to be fireworks discharged from a balcony. A week later, a 41-yearold man was arrested and later released. RCMP said he has links to organized crime. The landlord, Raquel Hernandez-Lazo, recently told KTW she is powerless to police her tenants and doesn't plan to take action. A nuisance home bylaw would allow the city to bill owners each time

police, paramedics, bylaws staff or any emergency services workers attend a property. "We've had properties where there's been 200 or 300 calls," Duckworth said, noting the experience in Nanaimo has seen problems cease once bills start rolling in. The city administrator expects the bylaw will come for approval late this year. He predicted it would only be used in one or two instances annually.

Extortion, arson charges follow alleged hostage-taking Three Kamloops United Way employees held for $500 ransom TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man is facing a string of serious charges after allegedly attempting to set downtown buildings on fire before holding three United Way employees hostage and demanding a ransom. Leonard Joseph Cantin is charged with three counts of arson and one each of extortion, unlawful confinement and assault with a weapon stemming from a brief crime spree last week. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said it started at about 6 a.m. on July 26, when three separate fires were set downtown. Court documents list the addresses as 301 Victoria St., 91 Seymour St. and Sacred Heart Cathedral.

Just before 9:30 a.m., Shelkie said, the suspect entered an office on Victoria Street and demanded cash from three employees. That agency was the United Way Thompson Nicola Cariboo, and executive director Dana-Lee Baker said the culprit, who she called Leo, was a homeless person who has been living near the office for some time. “He’d been hanging around for quite a bit — quite a nice guy,” she said. “But he was quite agitated.” Baker said the man entered the office and demanded a cash ransom. “He just said he needed $500 and he was wanted for murder, which I don’t think was true,” she said. Three United Way employees went with the sus-

pect into a boardroom to talk to him and he barricaded the door, Baker said. “One of the staff members was able to get out and they called police,” she said. Shelkie said the man stayed in the office until police arrived and was arrested without incident. Baker said she hopes the incident will lead to better access to services for people experiencing mental-health crises. “We feel disheartened about it, but everyone’s safe,” she said. “We’ve had a lot of debriefing about it. I hope it starts a different conversation in Kamloops. I hope we can have a better conversation about these issues.” Cantin, 54, is being held in custody with his next court appearance slated for Aug. 18.

Thompson-Okanagan jobless numbers up sharply CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The regional jobless rate is up sharply from a year ago, with fewer people working or looking for work. Statistics Canada’s labour force survey showed the unemployment rate for Thompson-Okanagan at 6.9 per cent, up from 4.6 per cent a year earlier. In B.C. the unemployment rate was 5.8 per cent, down slightly from a year ago. Across Canada, the market lost 31,200 net jobs in July, an unexpectedly steep decline that included the biggest one-month drop in full-time work in nearly five years. One positive for the regional economy is an increase in population by about 5,000 people compared to July last year, to more than 436,000. But, the num-

bers also show fewer of those people are either working or looking for work. On trade, the fresh figures showed Canada’s deficit with the world — the balance between imports and exports — ballooned to a record level of $3.6 billion in June. “The overall story here is the Canadian economy is barely growing,’’ BMO chief economist Doug Porter said. “And the drag on the economy is in the export sector, the one area of the economy where I think there were very high hopes. We’re basically still incredibly dependent on consumer spending and housing to keep pulling the economy along.’’ Combined, Porter said, the disappointing jobs and trade numbers increase the likelihood that the Bank of Canada will decrease its

already-low benchmark mark since September Canadian labour marmonths earlier. During dropped 0.2 per cent interest rate before the 1994. ket had 0.4 per cent that same period, howwhile part-time jobs end of the year to help Overall, the more jobs than 12 ever, full-time work climbed 3.1 per cent. boost the economy.

NEW LAW ABOUT SIMPLY RESPECT The best thing about the recent updates to the B.C. Human Rights Code by the province’s Liberal government is how little uproar there has been. Justice Minister Suzanne Anton announced the legislation that will explicitly protect transgender persons from discrimination. One member of the Liberal Party dissented and abstained from the vote. There were some kind words said by members of the transgender community. And that was about it. No storm of protest, though there will no doubt be a few letters to the editor across the province. Despite the lack of drama, the legislation was necessary. NDP MLA Spencer Chandra Herbert has been pushing for the change from within the Legislature for years, while activists pushed from without. The government held back largely on the grounds that transgender individuals were already covered implicitly by existing rules. But the new rules ensure that there is no doubt that everyone in B.C. should enjoy the same rights and privileges and the same treatment. The legislation was necessary both for its own sake — to clarify protections — and as a statement about the direction of our society. Politicians who opposed gay marriage or recognition of transgender rights have changed their minds, as have many members of the general public. — Chilliwack Times

There’s no place like home

hat a powerful testament of good will and community spirit this past weekend was for Kamloops Rotarians, volunteers, the people of Kamloops and the many visitors we hosted. The Daybreak Rotary Rib Fest, Dragon Boat Festival and Hot Nite in the City show and shine came and went in a blaze of success, thanks to our Rotary and community volunteers, our city workers and city volunteers. You made us proud. Judging by the thousands of people streaming downtown to take in the Kamloops Farmers’ Market on their way to these outstanding events in Riverside or Pioneer parks, this was one heck of a successful weekend. No parking was to be found as far away as Columbia Street between First and Sixth avenues. Despite the clogged streets and long lineups, happy faces ignored the traffic jams and parking snarls to enjoy the events. Where else could you find opportunities to get out and do that without a hefty entrance fee? Kamloops does this very well. Music in the Park is a great example of free public entertainment suitable for all ages. The dragon boats festival garnered audiences up and down the river park corridors and many of us wondered if it was time to try the sport. Dragon boating is great exercise and it is beautiful to watch the boats swoop along, powered by many arms paddling. I saw people wandering up and down Victoria Street looking to see

CITY HALL what vehicles were displayed by their proud owners. Many were the stories and tall tales about who, what, when and how fast back in the day. Vintage-car owners were happy to see the interest in their vehicles and chat. Driving by McDonald Park, the new water splash park was full, with children running in the water and having a great time, their parents laughing and visiting with each other. Picnics were the order of the day. Westsyde’s splash park is equally popular and provides another great place for families to gather and have fun together. Both are new recreational additions to the areas. What is a community after all? It is you and me, our neighbours, families, friends, colleagues, business community and our visitors. Having opportunities to get together, enjoy music and free activities build friendships and community. This year should be declared the year of Know your Neighbours! With an aging population and many folks living on their own

without families visiting, it could make a huge difference in someone’s life. I know some seniors who bake pies and make jam and cookies for the neighbours who shovel their driveways in winter. As our population continues to grow, I sometimes wonder if being bigger will change the great reputation and feel of our city. When people come to Kamloops from other parts of the country, they are blown away by the warm greetings or smiles from people they pass on the street. In 2011, Governor General David Johnston challenged us to imagine our country as it could be — “a smart and caring nation where all Canadians can succeed, contribute and develop their talents to their fullest potential.” Kamloops has taken on this challenge, as evidenced by this exciting past weekend. Our collective strength is in our pulling together to help our city and to reach out to those less fortunate, with the certainty that we always come through when it counts!.Whether it is a flood in Cache Creek or fires in Fort McMurray or a child with serious illness, we can always be counted on for help. When there is a call for volunteers for a sporting event or tournament, the PIT Stop kitchen, coaches for youth sports, United Way or Special Olympics, Kamloops always shines with volunteers stepping up. I am proud to say I am from Kamloops and to serve you as a city councillor. mspina@kamloops.ca

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PUT SAFE PRODUCTS FRONT, CENTRE Editor: The Canadian Cancer Society told council how vulnerable children are when exposed to pesticides. Pets, persons with compromised immune systems, elderly, pregnant women and people with illnesses are among the most vulnerable. Signs may appear immediately and be life-threatening. Or there may be a buildup damaging a person later. Everyone is different. Some may develop cancers, neurological damage or other issues. Just because products are being sold

does not make them safe. There are several lawsuits taking place against products such as Roundup and The World Heath Organization has cautioned people about it’s use. I would like to request stores selling pesticides to add nontoxic/safe products to displays. Now that we have a pesticide ban, people are searching for healthier alternatives. Safe products should be out in the open. People are more aware of their health and the damage toxins cause. More families are turning to organics

and are showing more concern in food products. Our laws have been updated to allow property owners to keep bees and hens on city properties. Again, this is due to health concerns. Getting into bee keeping or keeping hens are costly ventures, and both are susceptible to pesticides — another reason safe natural products should be used instead of toxins. Remember, pesticides don’t stop at property lines or fences. They end up in our air, soil and water. So many of our

citizens have displayed serious concern about health effects, should that new mine open. Pesticides should also be a serious concern. They are dangerous. They cause illnesses and sometimes death. If you need information about having a beautiful, healthy, nontoxic lawn or garden, we have an excellent group here, in the city, that can give you information. They’re known as The Master Gardeners. Wishing everyone a safe, healthy and happy summer. D. Czyzewski Kamloops

YIKES — SEEN THE PRICE OF STAMPS LATELY? Editor: I just purchased a letter postage stamp which cost $1. In May, the same stamp cost 89 cents. This is an increase of more than 11 per cent. If this greed continues, many small businesses that depend on postage will be forced out of business. When I asked for a postage rate card, I was advised to go online. They are forcing consumers to pay their bill electronically. The greed of Canada Post and unions are creating more business loss and unemployment. Carry on, Canada. Johnny Pogatcha Chase

WITH KERR, FAIRMAN — HOW COULD WE LOSE? Editor: (Re: ‘Life loops back to Kamloops,’ Aug. 2): Thanks to Dale Bass for her article on Blain Fairman. Tom Kerr, after teaching one year in Dawson Creek, came to teach at Kamloops Senior High School. Blain followed Tom to the Kamloops High School. Tom mentioned the B.C. Drama Festival was in Kelowna and said the teachers should put a play in the festival. Teachers from Kamloops second-

ary school and North Kamloops secondary school started to rehearse a play called Johnny Dunn. Blain was Johnny Dunn. The following weekend, we were in Kelowna on the Saturday night to present our play. We won first place. With Blain as Johnny Dunn and Tom Kerr as director — how could we lose? Just another example of a teacher’s influence on a student. Alwilda van Ryswyk Kamloops

in UBUNTU (The Cape Town Project.) MacDonald said there are four key pillars to how he envisions theatre. First, it’s important to bring outstanding works from outside a community onto the local stage to share works from around the world. It’s equally vital to help develop new works “to add to the pantheon of world theatre.” MacDonald has been involved with the development of more than three dozen new Canadian plays including Miss Shakespeare, which won a Jessie Richardson award in B.C. for outstanding production. Education is key, MacDonald added, as is audience outreach and advocacy. He’s beginning his position on Sept. 1.

Study shows regional glaciers are receding CAM FORTEMS

The glaciers studied are located east and north of Tumtum Lake and north of Shuswap Lake’s Seymour Arm.

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A preliminary analysis of regional glaciers done for a Shuswap conservation group found they receded by 15 to 35 per cent in the past three decades. The project was conducted by Forsite Consultants Ltd. on behalf of Shuswap Environmental Action Society. Using satellite photography, it looked at three glaciers in the Adams Lake and North Shuswap region. “We did a preliminary study and just wanted to get some idea how fast glaciers are melting,” said society founder Jim Cooperman. The glaciers studied are located east and north of Tumtum Lake and north of Shuswap Lake’s Seymour Arm. The project analyzed images from 1985 and compared them with images in 2015. Both sets studied were in late August or early September in order to eliminate variation from snow cover. The two glaciers east and north of Tumtum Lake receded by about 16 per cent while the glacier north of Seymour Arm lost 36 per cent of its surface area. The numbers are similar to larger estimates done for the provincial Ministry of

The goal is to gather as much “ information as possible and present a report to cities and local governments and get them interested. — JIM COOPERMAN,

Shuswap Environmental Action Society

Environment, which found ice coverage as a whole across the province decreased by more than 2,500 square kilometres over the period. The Ministry study determined changes in temperature are the root cause of the shrinkage. While snowfall can vary from year to year, a warm summer can melt gains from more than one previous year. It also noted the International Panel on Climate Change believes warmer temperatures are related to climate change. Cooperman cautioned the regional study looked only at surface area. There are other, more intensive methods including looking at ice depth. The society wants to build on the project by gathering more esti-

mates and looking at long-term outcomes of the shrinkage. The biggest concern is disappearing glaciers will cause a corresponding loss of freshwater for streams and rivers in late summer and early fall. That could translate into drinking water shortages and loss of water for the famed Adams River sockeye run. Another proposed step for the project involves bringing in a hydrologist who can map out what the shrinkage may mean to stream and river volumes over the next decades. “The goal is to gather as much information as possible and present a report to cities and local governments and get them interested,” he said.

Whistler Blackcomb sold to U.S. resort company THE CANADIAN PRESS

On August 10, I’m inviting everyone over. KEN HASLAM, AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2013. CHARTWELL.COM

VANCOUVER — Whistler Blackcomb Holdings, the owner of one of Canada's biggest and most popular ski resorts, is being sold to Colorado-based Vail Resorts under a friendly deal the two companies announced yesterday. Dave Brownlie, CEO of Whistler Blackcomb Holdings, said the takeover would help his company fulfil its plans to grow and give it greater marketing exposure. "Whistler Blackcomb has enjoyed tremendous success by delivering an exceptional mountain experience for our passionate and loyal guests — both locally and from around the world," Brownlie said. "That's going to continue as we work with our new colleagues at Vail Resorts as well as our employees, local businesses, community and government stakeholders to make Whistler

Blackcomb better than ever.'' When it opened in 1966, the Whistler resort featured a fourperson gondola, a double chairlift and a day lodge. It has since grown to become one of the premier ski destinations in North America, serving as a host site for the Olympic Winter Games in 2010. Vail Resorts CEO Rob Katz said he is committed to further expanding the all-season resort, located about 125 kilometres north of Vancouver. "Whistler Blackcomb is one of the most iconic mountain resorts in the world, with an incredible history, passionate employees and a strong community,'' he said in a statement. "With our combined experience and expertise, together we will build upon the guest experience at Whistler Blackcomb while preserving the unique brand and character of the resort as an iconic Canadian destination for guests around

the world." Whistler Blackcomb shareholders are being offered C$676 million of cash and Vail stock worth about C$715 million, making the deal worth nearly C$1.4 billion when it was announced. Whistler Blackcomb shares closed in Toronto on Friday at C$25.14 — giving it a market value of about C$960 million prior to yesterday's announcement. Shares of Whistler Blackcomb jumped to a new all-time high when markets opened Monday, rising above C$36 per share in Toronto. In New York, Vail Resorts stock was also trading at the highest in at least a decade, trading at about US$150 shortly after the open. Vail Resorts operates nine mountain resorts and two ski areas in the U.S. and Australia. The deal is expected to close this fall.

GRANBY, QUE. — A lion at Quebec's Granby Zoo attacked an employee yesterday, fracturing her backbone, the head of the facility said. The woman, in her early 20s, was in hospital in stable condition but zoo director Paul Gosselin called her injuries severe. He said the zoo is still investigating the circumstances

of the attack. The employee had been performing the morning preparation routine at about 9 a.m. in the lion den, home to the zoo's three lions, when one of them attacked her, Gosselin told reporters. A second employee sprayed the lion with water from a hose and managed to distance the animal from the injured woman. "What we know is that she suffered a cer-

vical fracture and a few lacerations,'' Gosselin said. "She is stable and was conscious throughout the whole intervention, from the time emergency crews got here to her transportation to hospital.'' Gosselin said the employee had been working at the zoo since 2011 but he didn't know how long she had been responsible for the lions. The park remained

open but the three lions were confined to their interior grounds, which are not visible to the public. "The zoo is one big family and when something like this happens we are all affected by it,'' Gosselin said, adding the zoo has offered counselling to employees who need it. Quebec's workplace safety board was notified of the attack. Granby is 80 kilometres east of Montreal.

Protein found in 250,000-year-old tools THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — It's supposed to be impossible to squeeze blood from a stone, but a Canadian-led team of archeologists has extracted rhino blood from a Stone Age hand axe dated at 250,000 years old, the oldest evidence of early human hunting activities. The University of Victoria-led researchers has found protein residue remains of butchered horses, rhinos, cows and ducks on stone tools discovered at an archeological site near Azraq, Jordan. Expedition leader April Nowell, a UVic paleoanthropologist, said the discovery reveals early humans were capable of taking advantage of a wide variety of prey in a challenging environment hundreds of thousands of years ago. "What makes this study significant is that our results are not only the oldest identified proteins in the world but they also provide direct evidence of exploitation of specific animals by those early hominins," she said. "Often, as archeologists, we have bones and stone tools in association with each other, but what we have found with this protein residue is direct evidence . . . of what these early humans were butchering.'' The previous such evidence from early human stone tools was dated at 11,500 years old. "It is huge," said Nowell, about the 238,500 year

leap. "I think that's why we were so, so excited about this and there are bits and pieces of other evidence of the long-term survivability of organics that are starting to appear." The team, which also includes researchers from universities in the United States and Jordan, excavated 10,000 stone tools over a three-year period in an area of northwest Jordan that is desert today but was once a wetland oasis. Among the stone tools were scrapers, flakes, projectiles and hand axes, known as the period's Swiss Army knife, said Nowell. Of those tools, 44 were selected for testing and 17 tested positive for protein residue, with blood and other animal products, she said. She said the researchers were able to confirm the proteins through a residue matching process involving animal antibodies. She said the study has the potential to revolutionize knowledge of early human diets now that the ages of proteins and other food byproducts can be increasingly measured. "Once people start to realize these organics do survive much better than we had thought, people more and more will start looking for them and the amount of data we're going to have about the diet and the strategies of these early humans is just going to skyrocket," Nowell said. The research will be published in the Journal of Archaeological Science next month.

Study: Flu shots higher in provinces allowing vaccination by pharmacists THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A study has found people who live in provinces that allow pharmacists to give flu shots are more likely to get vaccinated against the seasonal bug than those living in jurisdictions without such a policy. Researchers found over the seven-year

period of the study, the overall uptake of influenza vaccine among Canadians declined. However, a higher proportion of residents got their shots in provinces where pharmacists are allowed to administer them — 30 per cent compared to 28 per cent in provinces where they aren't. Lead researcher Dr.

speaking Oilsands project will stay NATIONAL NEWS

Flossing goes viral!

N MY WILDEST dreams, I could not have imagined so many people discussing flossing in restaurants, over a latte, in yoga class and in pubs! Dr. Preety Desai I feel compelled to shed some light and respond this month to the most humblest of dental preventions when long time patients and my own children question the need to floss! On the one hand, the Associated Press is correct that the research on flossing is dated and was executed with the scientific standards of the 1950s and 60s and provides no clear benefit to flossing alone vs toothbrushing. But what is clear is that: a) One cannot assess and evaluate research done 70+ years ago according to today’s scientific research standards - it is akin to comparing rotary dial phones to the capability of today’s smart phones - totally unfair and ridiculous on so many different levels b) Secondly, the main critic of the data admits to using interproximal piks as his main oral hygiene device (which is a perfectly viable option) c) When something so common sense and understood from a clinical standpoint as evidenced from every dental professional’s viewpoint as “the truth” then what is the value of spending millions of dollars to prove the obvious? to satisfy the AP? A proof of point study was published by the British Medical Journal in 2003 on the value of randomized controlled studies. The paper concluded that “there are no randomized controlled studies to prove that jumping out of a airplane at 25,000ft without a parachute is unsafe”. Similarly, one could then conclude that using a parachute for this purpose is unnecessary. This is how ridiculous the conclusions from the AP are. Every one of the 25 flossing studies quoted are antiquated and today we periodontists approach the hypothesis from a different perspective of .... “what is the downfall of not flossing”? Well my practice is full of those that had early intervention of flossing and home care through education - those people maintain their teeth longer - obviously! Then the other half of my practice is full of those that had NO early intervention of flossing and home care and now I am replacing their teeth with implants which actually have to be flossed! So one must decide whether you want to floss your teeth and keep them or floss your implants that replaced them and protect them from the same disease that was responsible for tooth loss. Either way, stop viewing floss as your enemy! Floss or any interproximal device removes debris in between your teeth and the only other way is visiting your dental hygienist!

shut until crude cracks US$50 THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — One of Canada's oldest oilsands projects, which was shut down during the wildfires in Fort McMurray, Alta., will remain closed until benchmark oil prices rise above US$50 per barrel, its operator said yesterday. The Hangingstone thermal oilsands project, operated by Japan Canada Oil Sands Ltd. since 1999, was shuttered in May as a precaution when staff were evacuated due to the wildfires.

Satoshi Abe, the company's executive vice-president, said the facility won't be restarted for economic reasons. "It was our plan before the wildfire to shut it down temporarily because of the very, very weak oil-price market," Abe said. "With WTI [West Texas Intermediate] in the lower $40s, we are losing money for every barrel we produce. So we decided to suspend production to improve our short-term results while at the same time leaving resources in the

ground to be produced when market conditions get better.'' The project was built with capacity of 10,000 barrels per day (bpd)to test the use of steam to produce bitumen from wells but had been producing only about half of that in recent years. At full capacity, Canada's oilsands industry produces about 2.5-million bpd. Abe said construction continues on the company's nearby $1.8-billion Hangingstone expansion project, which is expected to be com-

pleted by the end of the year and begin producing by the middle of next year. Japan Canada Oil Sands is planning to ramp up capacity of that site to 20,000 barrels per day, with room for a future expansion to 30,000 bpd. Japan Oil Sands, owned by a consortium of Japanese companies, doesn't expect layoffs from among its 200 permanent staff because they will be needed during construction and when the new project opens, Abe said. Analyst Michael Dunn of FirstEnergy Capital said the Japan Canada operation had higher than average costs per barrel because of its relatively small size, the age of some of its wells and equipment and the fact

it was trucking its product to market instead of using a pipeline. He said the expansion project, which will be connected to a pipeline, will be more economically sound. Abe said about 800 people were evacuated from the construction site and about 40 from the operating site when the wildfire erupted. They were able to return by late May. The projects are 25 per cent owned by Nexen Energy, a subsidiary of Chinese stateowned firm CNOOC Ltd. The Alberta Energy Regulator recently reported provincial oilsands production in May dropped by about 25 per cent, mainly because of the wildfire and the resulting evacuation of about 90,000 people from the region.

Nominate UNESCO sites THE CANADIAN PRESS

GRAND PRE, N.S. — For the first time in more than a decade, Ottawa is asking Canadians to nominate favoured places as candidates for UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna made the announcement yesterday in Grand Pre, N.S., home to one of Canada's 18 UNESCO sites out of more than 1,000 worldwide. "As we look around here today, we can feel how special this place is to Canada," McKenna said, "because it takes a very special place to make the list of UNESCO World Heritage Sites." McKenna invited Canadians to suggest places of cultural, historic and natural significance for Canada's list of nominees for world heritage status by the United Nations Organization for Education, Science and Culture. She said the additions to the nomination list, last updated in 2004, will be revealed in 2017 in honour of the 150th anniversary of Confederation. "As anyone who has had the privilege of exploring our great country knows, there's no shortage of spectacular places," McKenna said. The minister is putting together a committee of heritage experts, including indigenous representatives, to review submissions for Canada's next world heritage bid. Five of the 11 sites on Canada's current nomination list have been inscribed as world heritage sites — most recently Mistaken Point, N.L., which was recognized by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee in Turkey last month. Mistaken Point is one of seven world heritage sites in Atlantic Canada. The rocky stretch of coastline on the southeastern tip of Newfoundland's Avalon Peninsula is home to some of the oldest known evidence of complex, multicellular life.

Ratna Thapa recently opened Koh-I-Noor at 550 Columbia St. DAVE EAGLES/KTW

‘I wanted a better life for my family’

hen Ratna Thapa left his homeland of Nepal for Republic of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean, he had one goal in mind — to make a better life for his family. That was more than a decade ago and the experience of working as a cook in a restaurant there still leaves a bitter taste.

It’s one Thapa doesn’t talk about much, but he will acknowledge the money he hoped would help him move his family away from his homeland was not there in the end.

In 2005, Thapa looked to Canada as a way to fulfil his dream. “I wanted a better life for my family,” he said. Eleven years later, he’s found that happy ending — one that

includes fulfilling his dream of opening his own restaurant, Koh-INoor at 550 Columbia St. His friend Jim Knowles describes Thapa’s story as simply a rags-to-riches tale

New Indian restaurant on Columbia Street a rags-to-riches tale for family from Nepal that, at one point in 2009, saw the entire family living in a hotel room. Thapa had been working in Kamloops for some time and had finally saved enough money to bring his wife and two children to the city, but they couldn’t afford a home at the time. Knowles met the family through Ratna’s son, Pramod, who had become involved in the adaptive ski program at Sun Peaks. Knowles has been

along for the ride as the family went from the hotel room to a two-bedroom apartment furnished courtesy of a fundraiser at Sa-Hali secondary, where Pramod studied, to their own home. There were other surprises along the way. Pramod has cerebral palsy, a condition that qualified for financial assistance from the federal and provincial governments — money Ratna never expected

to receive to help the family look after Pramod. “If we had stayed in Nepal, he would have no life,” Thapa said of his son. “There is nothing there for the handicapped.” For many years, Ratna worked for Flavours of India — but the dream of owning his own restaurant never died. He and Knowles, a local real-estate agent, started looking for a spot to start to create

the vision. “Thirty years as a chef and, now, I can show the people my experience, the good food, the good taste of northern India and Nepalese cuisine,” Thapa said. He’s proud everyone in the family works with him at the restaurant, including his sonin-law. And he’s hoping to expand the Nepalese part of the menu as people become more familiar with the dishes he offers.

10 Signs You Could Be Ready To Retire

balance between helping out family and having adult children who have yet to achieve a level of self-sufficiency.

"When Can I Retire?" and "How much do I need?" are two of the most common questions we hear as we meet with clients.

3. Your parents are financially independent: The baby boomer generation is also known as the sandwich generation as some are caring for aging parents, along with adult kids. Try to ensure that your parents are in a stable financial position, or have some plans around long-term care or living arrangements should they be in a tough financial spot.

The answer they get but do not want to hear, "It depends." The reality is everyone has different goals and vision of retirement. We have found that some common questions can help as a guideline. This by no means is an exhaustive list, nor must all be answered positively, but hopefully this will help give you a sense of your retirement readiness.

4. You qualify for CPP and OAS: Additional government pensions in the form of CPP and OAS will help supplement your retirement lifestyle and can reduce the need to draw from your investments.

1. You own your home: Carrying large debts into retirement can be a crippler. Living on a reduced cash flow in retirement and having to spend most of it towards debt servicing can impact your ability to enjoy things in retirement. Downsizing can be an option, but the reality is most people downsize into a small, yet nicer home of equivalent value.

5. You have a pension plan: Similar to above, the more sources of retirement income you have, the better prepared you can be. For those who do not have company pensions, all is not lost. You will need to be disciplined and ensure that you have saved more in Retirement Savings Plans (RSPs) and Tax-Free Savings Accounts (TFSAs).

2. Your children are financially independent: Hopefully they are at a point where you need not worry about them financially any more. If you are still helping fund schooling, housing, or other expenses, you may not be ready for reduced income in retirement. There is a

6. You have hobbies: If you work until 65, retire and just stop, odds are you will not be happy nor healthy in retirement. Humans need physical and mental activity to stay healthy and often work provides some form of social interaction. Not everyone golfs, and fewer people golf seven days a week. Hopefully you have multiple hobbies to fill your retirement cup. Ask yourself, if you retired last month, what would you do today?

7. Your friends are retired: Having friends who share common hobbies and interests can help provide you with things to keep you active in retirement. 8. You have tried the retirement lifestyle: Build a budget for retirement and take it for a test-drive. According to a 2015 BMO Survey, the average retiree spends $2,400 a month. Set your own amount for your desired lifestyle and try it for six months to see how you make out. 9. You have an up-to-date retirement Plan: When have you last reviewed your retirement plan with your advisor and is it up-to-date? Is he/she aware of your target retirement date? Life and financial goals evolve and change over the years. We recommend have your plan reviewed every 3-5 years, or if there has been a major life event. 10. Your job is affecting your health: Health is number one. If you feel your job is impacting your health, talk with your doctor and see if you need to revise your retirement plans. We cannot think of one retired client who has said, "I wish I spent more time at the office." A couple of factors to be careful of are predicting inheritances and real estate values. Admittedly these can have a significant impact on one's retirement, however if, when and how much can be a risky mindset when establishing your financial independence. Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well.

Grab a Pirate Pak, help send kids to camp Pirate Pak Day returns tomorrow, when $2 from the sale of each Pirate Pak at White Spot will be used to send kids to Zajac Ranch for Children, a local charity that gives kids and young adults with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities a unique summer camp experience. Pirate Pak Day has raised more than $450,000 since its inception and has sent more than 300 people to camp. White Spot Week at Zajac Ranch runs from Aug. 15 to Aug. 19 and includes activities ranging from kayaking and climbing to swimming and horseback riding. “Pirate Pak Day is a big event for us, one that both our guests and staff look forward to every year,” White Spot president Warren Erhart said. “Money raised on this special day helps young mateys facing difficult challenges and wouldn’t be possible without the participation of our valued guests. We’ll be dressed up in our best swashbuckling outfits, so come join the merriment.” In addition to traditional burger Pirate Paks, White Spot will also be donating $2 from select entrees, sandwiches and salads from its Pirate Pak Day menu. “White Spot has become integral in our ability to enrich the lives of kids who need support,” said Mel Zajac, founder of Zajac Ranch for Children, which is near Mission. “Community initiatives like Pirate Pak Day help us offer illness-specific camps that put smiles on the faces of these kids. For instance, many of our campers get to ride a horse for the first time in their life.” Did you know? • Almost a million Pirate Paks were sold last year (45,463 of them were on Pirate Pak Day alone). • Since 1968, more than 24-million Pirate Paks have been sold. • The Pirate Pak boat is 100 per cent recyclable and compostable. • For the first time this year, select entrees have also been added to the menu and will also generate a toonie for Zajac ranch.

RED HOT HEADING TO RIO MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

atharine Pendrel has put the world on notice. The 35-yearold Kamloops mountain biker pedalled to gold at the fifth Union Cycliste Internationale World Cup race of the season on Sunday in Mont-Ste-Anne, Que., the final tune-up before the female cross-country showdown at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio on Aug. 20. “I kind of led that race almost from start to finish,” said Pendrel, speaking to KTW from an airport in Quebec yesterday morning. “As a confidence boost to know that your training has been successful, it’s good to have that in the final two weeks leading into the Olympics.” The Luna Pro Team rider finished 43 seconds ahead of Gunn-Rita Dahle of Norway and one minute and 38 seconds in front of bronze-medallist Emily Batty, the Ontarian who will join Pendrel in Rio as the second member of Canada’s female cross-country mountain biking team. If this were not an Olympic year, the Pendrel narrative would be focused on her second-place standing on the World Cup circuit with one race to go, in Vallnord, Andorra, on Sept. 4, but the prospect of claiming her third overall elite women’s title is an afterthought for now. While some opted to skip the Mont-Ste-Anne event on Sunday, choosing instead to focus on training for the

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Catharine Pendrel finished atop the podium at the fifth of six races on the female cross-country mountain biking World Cup circuit in Quebec on Sunday, a clear sign the Kamloops resident is in good form heading into the Olympic Summer Games in Rio.

Olympics, Pendrel still left in her dust the first-, third-, and fourth-ranked riders on the World Cup circuit, along with many more of the world’s best. “It shows that I definitely have the form to be competi-

tive there [in Rio],” Pendrel said. “A lot can happen and play out in a race, but I’m going there ready and I’ll just give my best on the day. Hopefully, that works out well.” Pendrel, who won World

Cup overall titles in 2010 and 2012, is 56 points behind Annika Langvad of Denmark in the 2016 standings. At the final race in Vallnord, 250 points will be awarded for first place, 200 for second and 160 for third. “It’s always important to have things like that, outside of the Olympics,” Pendrel said. “Where athletes get into trouble is when they put all their focus on the Olympics and they don’t have goals outside of that. If it doesn’t go the way they want, they can be drifting a little bit. It’ll be finish the Olympics and right back on task.” The Fredericton product is in Ontario and will train this week near Toronto on the 2015 Pan Am Games course. That track and the Mountain Bike Centre venue in Rio share similar obstacles. Pendrel will be on a direct flight to Rio from Toronto on Friday. Race time on Aug. 20 is 8:30 a.m. “It was a really great weekend for the team and some good feedback that the preparation was right,” Pendrel said. “I’m going to ride that confidence, but also knowing in a few weeks time it’s going to be a much more ferocious battle even than that.”

Canada thumped a shellshocked Great Britain side 33-10, leading the showdown for third place from start to finish. “Oh my God. I am totally still shaking and crying,” Andrea Moleschi, Kayla’s mom, told the Williams Lake Tribune. “I just want to go see my girl.” Great Britain had beaten Canada 22-0 in round-robin play on Sunday. Australia, which downed Canada 17-5 in semifinal action, topped New Zealand 24-17 to win gold. Moleschi is pictured celebrating Canada’s 15-5 victory over France in the quarter-final round.

The bodybuilding fast track CHISELLED RUBEL PREPARING FOR PROFESSIONAL DEBUT ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Vivi Rubel was excited just to be going to the 2016 Canadian Bodybuilding Federation Nationals in Winnipeg. She had no idea she would return home from her first national championship last month with a professional card from the International Federation of Bodybuilding and Fitness (IFBB). “I had no expectations, really, going into these shows,” Rubel told KTW. “Everybody looks so fantastic and they work so hard. I kind of was just like, ‘OK, let’s have fun, let’s do this.’” Rubel’s journey to nationals started with the Western Canadian Championship in Kelowna a year ago, followed by a provincial show, both of which she won. But part of her planned for that to be the end of the line. The Kamloops stay-at-home mom was considering not attending the national championship in Winnipeg until her

nine-year-old son, Logan, gave her the push she needed to make the trip. She thanked him by becoming the first person from B.C. to earn her IFBB professional card in the span of a year and one of just a handful from Canada to ever accomplish the feat. “People do this for 10 years to get this pro title and we did it in a year,” Rubel said. “I really had no expectations of it. It’s something I fell into and I love. I love to be on the stage. I’m amazed, still, that it even happened.” The card gives Rubel the status of a professional athlete and allows her to earn money at the shows she will now be competing in. As an unsponsored competitor, prize winnings would help her offset the variety of expenses that come with show preparation, training and travel. Rubel and her trainer, Michael Grayer, will now turn their focus to her professional debut, which will come in Vancouver next year. After that, Rubel said she hopes to compete in both Toronto and New

York, deciding on future events from there. She will continue to work out at her gym in Kamloops, Planet Woman Ladies Fitness, with a new set of goals on the horizon. It has been quite the year for the 38-year-old who, prior to beginning her training for that first event in Kelowna, hadn’t seen the inside of a gym in more than five years. “It’s just amazing, a really amazing experience that I’ve had. It’s so motivating and positive. I just really want to represent the bodybuilding world now and put it out there and say that this is a Cinderella story and it can happen for anybody,” Rubel said. “I went to Winnipeg just having fun and loving the sport. I was just coming for the show. I really did not, in my wildest dreams, think that I was going to win my category, let alone take a pro card. That was never in my mind.” For more information on sponsorship opportunities, Rubel can be reached at vivirubel@gmail.com.

Penny minted in history DONNA SPENCER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

RIO DE JANEIRO – Penny Oleksiak’s nickname “Typical Pen” is also her Instagram handle. Her talent in the pool is anything but typical. There being not much demand for a six-foot-two gymnast, Oleksiak made the right call switching to swimming at the age of nine. The 16-year-old Toronto teen moves a lot of water with her long limbs. Oleksiak has emerged at the Summer Games in Rio as Canadian swimming’s Next One. Her Olympic debut has included lowering her own world junior record in the 100-metre butterfly, punching her ticket to Sunday’s final in that race and anchoring the women’s 4x100-m freestyle relay team to a bronze medal. Having never raced a world championship, Pan American Games or Commonwealth Games before, the Olympics are essentially Oleksiak’s first senior meet. “I’m really happy with how I’ve done so far,” she said. Oleksiak is also one of Canada’s busier swimmers in Rio. She has four events remaining — the 100-m freestyle, the 200-m free, the 4×200-m freestyle relay and the 4×100-m individual medley. “I’m only 16 so I just don’t get as much lactic acid,” she said. “When I was age-group racing I had maybe five minutes between races.” There is a freedom that comes with being an unknown quantity in your

Penny Oleksiak swam into the hearts of Canadians on the weekend at the Olympic Summer Games in Rio — and she’s not done yet.

first Olympic Games. Oleksiak is racing unburdened of expectations. “She’s just been so amazing keeping her composure and not letting anything get to her head and staying focused,” teammate Michelle Williams said. Oleksiak’s father Richard was a multi-sport athlete and mother Alison a swimmer. Six-foot-seven brother Jamie is a Dallas Stars defenceman and fivefoot-10 sister Hayley a Northeastern University rower. The youngest Oleksiak estimates she’s grown a couple inches in just the last year. Training can be hard when muscles are catching up to a sprouting body. Oleksiak is genetically “gifted more than most people,” her coach Ben Titley said after her breakout performance at April trials. “We just kind of need to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves on expectations for her,” Titley said then.

“That’s not to put limits on her. She can always swim to her maximum.” Oleksiak trains alongside older relay teammates Chantal Van Landeghem, Williams and Sandrine Mainville at the Pan Am Centre in Toronto. “Having her around the other athletes who are very professional, very mature and nice girls, (they) go around to her house to help her with her homework at school for example,” Titley said. “If she’s flunking, they’ll grab her and say ‘no, you’re coming to our house to study today because, if you’re not studying, your mom’s not going to let you train and then Ben will go nuts.”‘ Oleksiak confirmed if her grades slip, Alison would put the brakes on training. Mainville helps her with French and Van Landeghem “basically everything because she’s so smart,” Oleksiak said. Oleksiak leads a typical teenage life outside the pool “always on Instagram.”

beat out veteran Josh McCown, whose future with the team is uncertain. Jackson promised to name his starter before the exhibition opener Friday against Green Bay. Griffin,

whose career has been on the decline since his rookie year with the Redskins, played well in a scrimmage last week, connecting with rookie wide receiver Corey Coleman on several long passes.

It may take a little extra effort to solve a particularly puzzling problem this week, Aries. It’s not an insurmountable obstacle, just one that takes patience.

Taurus, all of your efforts thus far in relation to personal challenges have been well worth the sacrifices you have made. Keep doing what you are doing.

Friends may prove a distraction this week, Libra. It will take a lot of energy to focus on what you need to accomplish rather than getting sucked into other plans.

Scorpio, adjusting to a changing situation at work will require some patience and trial and error. Keep your head down because you will grow comfortable before you know it.

Gemini, you cannot control the actions of others all of the time, but you can change the way you react to certain situations. Take time to develop a response.

Cancer, you will have to adapt when your schedule gets turned upside down. Let others see how capable you are by modifying the situation as needed.

Leo, an unconventional approach to a problem may see things fall into place. While others are following one path, you’ll be marching to the beat of a different drummer.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, it’s time to get your head out of the clouds for a little bit. Focus on the priorities in your life, which may include family and work responsibilities.

Drama seems to find you this week, Sagittarius. But you can handle whatever comes your way. Remove yourself from gossip and keep a low profile until things seem to dissipate.

Capricorn, resist the temptation to dive in when you sense a potential conflict brewing. It may be difficult to stay out of the fray, but you will ultimately be glad you did.

Aquarius, you need to be more assertive at work, especially if you want to receive the acclaim you feel you deserve. Be confident in your abilities.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, it may take some time for things to develop, but plans will start to go your way. This could be a week of big change.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Adam Pouliot

In Loving Memory Of

June 11, 1990 – July 27, 2016 Adam Pouliot suddenly and tragically passed away on the morning of July 27th, 2016 in Vernon, B.C. He was 26 years old.

Jack Horutko February 28, 1933 – August 8, 2014

He was the youngest son of Leo and Melanie Pouliot’s three children. Adam embraced life and lived every day to the fullest. He was gentle, caring and had a vibrant, charismatic nature. His wit and charm would light up a room. He had a great sense of humor and liked to tease. He was physically active, enjoying and excelling in many sports. He especially loved golf, skiing and recreational body building. He loved the outdoors, camping and nature. Adam was great with children and made them feel special and loved. His greatest desire in life was to marry and have a family. Adam was skilled in many trades specializing in iron work and cladding. He had an impeccable work ethic and gave 100% to everything he put himself into. He was a great conversationalist, inquisitive, always challenging the norm in traditional thinking. Adam always made an impact. He was a talented musician, following the path of his oldest brother Marc, playing and composing songs on his guitar. Adam joins his brother Marc as they soar on the wings of eagles, playing their music in our hearts and reminding us to live, laugh and love deeply and passionately. Adam is survived by his loving parents Melanie and Leo Pouliot and his brother James Pouliot. Adam is predeceased by his oldest brother Marc Pouliot, his Grandma Nadine Collingridge Hillis, Grandpa Jim Collingridge, Grandma Gisele Pouliot Burnside and Grandpa Jean Pouliot. Should friends desire, donations can be made to the Wulf Trotter Memorial Bursary for Adaptive Sports at Sun Peaks, www.adaptivesportsatsunpeaks.org. This perpetual bursary will offer students of ASSP opportunities to further develop the same love of the mountain experience as Adam and his family have enjoyed for many years. A Celebration of Adam’s Life will be held in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel on Saturday, August 13, 2016 at 3:00 pm with Pastor Dan Sczebel officiating. Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577

Bruce Willis Hunter June 9, 1924 – August 3, 2016

Bruce passed away peacefully, surrounded by family, on Wednesday, August 3, 2016 at Berwick on the Park, Kamloops, BC. He was 92 years old. Forever remembered by his children Bob (Donna) Hunter, Dave (Bonnie) Hunter, Carol (Ron) Dunlop and Ron Hunter; eleven grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren; his brother Arthur (Elaine) Hunter; brothers-in-law Lance McCormac, Ted McCormac and many nieces and nephews. Sadly predeceased by his parents, wife Elinor (2008), his sisters Muriel Hunter and Edith Doucette, stepmother Celia and sister in-law Gladys McCormac. Dad was born and raised in Armstrong, BC and very proud of it. He rarely missed the famous IPE (now in it’s 117th year) and Sunday car drives always included a history as well as ice cream. (Thank goodness). In 1945 he enlisted in the R.C.A.F in Vancouver as a mechanic. During this time he was introduced to Mom (a riveter for Boeing aircraft) and so the story of country-boy meets city-girl begins. They married August 31, 1946 and returned to Armstrong where four children, Bob (1947), Dave (1949), Carol (1952) and Ron (1959) arrived on the scene much to his delight. Many good years were spent in IPE country but a move to Kamloops was in their future when a logging contract came up. In 1969, with only little Ronnie and Duke (the family dog) in tow, Mom and Dad ventured north. Being from the Okanagan, fruit trees and berries had to be planted almost immediately! When Dad retired in 1979 they bought a lakeshore lot in Chase and built the home of their dreams. Dad supervised!! (he wasn’t quite in retirement mode yet). They enjoyed the “good life” for almost 24 years until Mom was forced to move to a care home in Kamloops in 2002. Dad spent many hours driving back and forth to Berwick on the Park (regardless of the weather) until her death in 2008. His last 21 months were also spent at Berwick. Bruce, our dad, was a man of strong convictions. He was hard working and tireless and always provided for his family and community. A true hunter and fisherman... we will surely miss his candied smoked salmon at Christmas. He had 3 little chief smokers!. It is comforting to know he has been greeted by his wife, Elinor and Tinker the bichon. Forever in our hearts.. The family would like to offer a very special thank you to everyone at Berwick for the wonderful care Dad received during his time there. It is greatly appreciated. In lieu of flowers please make a donation to a charity of your choice. It was at Dad’s request that there be no service. Condolences may be expressed to the family at www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

250-554-2577

No one knows the silent heartaches, Only those who have lost can tell Of the grief that we bear in silence For the one we loved so well. Deeply loved and missed by wife Iris, sons Derald (Arleen), Ron (Earleen), grandchildren, b`rothers and sisters and their families and many wonderful dear friends who knew him.

September 20, 1925 - August 3, 2016

It is with profound sadness and relief that we announce the passing of our mother Joan Dorie. She endured a very long and difficult journey and now deserves to rest in peace. Joan was born and raised in Kelowna. She came to The School of Nursing in Kamloops, graduated in 1947 and here she stayed to marry and raise her family. She was most comfortable behind the scene and was there to lend a hand always. She volunteered at the RIH Auxiliary Gift Shop and Well Baby Clinic for many years. Joan had many challenges to be met and she worked tirelessly to meet them. She will be missed. She was predeceased by her parents Al Biggs and Jessie Biggs Pedersen (nee Hall) an infant brother, her husband Terry, her eldest daughter Eileen Camille and her infant son Allen James. She is survived by her daughters June Dorie, Patricia Kingsnorth (Ed), Darlene Iadarola (Oz), Katherine Dorie and her son Tom (Phillis) Dorie as well as ten grandchildren and six greatgrandchildren. We honor her request of no service. In lieu of flowers, you may donate to a charity of your choice. We wish to thank the many kindnesses and loving care extended to our mom by the staff on 2B at the Kamloops Senior Village. Condolences may be sent to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Margaret Evelyn Keizer 1925 - 2016

Margaret passed away peacefully with her family by her side at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in Kamloops on Thursday, July 28th just as the sun was rising, eight days before her 91st birthday.

Margherita Neagele (nee Tucci)

Margaret (Mom) is preceded by her parents (Malcolm and Florence), one sister (Edith) and three of her seven children (Wayne, Debbie and Brian). Margaret is survived by her youngest sister Lyla McKaeg, brother George F. Walker, her eldest son Roy Keizer, daughter Beverly (Danny) Leighton, daughter Sharon (David) Woodley and daughter Diane (Ernie) Stasiuk. Mom (Nanna) will be deeply missed by her seven grandchildren Christopher Leighton, Jenny Stevens, Sara Jane Leighton, Matthew Jesse, Joseph Jesse, Shawn Neve and Shannon Neve. Mom also referred to as “Big Nanna” will be sorely missed by her seven great-grandchildren, Brooke, Emma, Robbie, Benjamin, Connor, Hunter and Nikita. Mom’s life was not an easy one as those that knew her understood. But one thing that was certain, Mom lived her life for her family. Her family was truly her heart and soul. She loved us all unconditionally. Her happy time was always family time. She worked so hard as a single mother of six children, working her way through School District #71 in the Comox Valley. Eventually retiring from SD#71 from her position as secretary to the Superintendent’s Office in August 1989. Her family, especially her three daughters Bev, Sharon and Diane want to thank the fourth floor nursing staff at Royal Inland Hospital. We would like to give a huge thank you to Dr. Howie for his care and compassion for his patient “Miss Margaret” as he called mom. We also want to acknowledge the wonderful staff of the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice who provided the most loving, caring and protective care for both mom and our family. Words are simply not enough to be said for the care they provided. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. At Mom’s request the family will be holding a private Celebration of her Life at a later date at Long Beach on the West Coast of Vancouver Island. In lieu of flowers, a donation in our mothers name can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in Kamloops BC.

Margherita passed away peacefully in Kamloops on July 31, 2016 at the age of 86. Margherita is survived by her son Florien. She is predeceased by her husband of 55 years Ludwig Neagele. Margherita was born in Prada, Italy. She came to Canada in 1958 and in 1961 she married Lou and they moved to Clinton, BC. No Service by request.

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.

MR. KEVIN CARSWELL

CINDY LEIBEL I have been a Realtor for just over 14 years, being born in the Kamloops area, I have raised my family here and am very proud of living in such a Beautiful, Friendly City.

B U Y

1. Avoid big purchases (like a car) before getting pre-approved for a mortgage

I specialize in the Residential and Recreational market, from waterfront acreages to compact homes and bare land parcels.

To me, this is a definite asset in welcoming new people as well as introducing current Kamloopsians to other areas of this fantastic region.

2. Know your down payment

3. A realtor is your quarterback. Go get one 4. Be open-minded on the home (it’s called a “starter” for a reason)

Working with buyers to find the perfect property and getting as much of the wish list to suit their budget is a challenge that I love to pursue! My clients deserve the highest level of service and commitment from me... along with mutual respect and integrity.

5. Spring is very busy for home sales; be ready and be decisive

S MR. CARSWELL L L

(KEVIN) A first home is an exciting time. Call me to discuss a move that fits your lifestyle — and your budget. Kamloops

Déjà Vu White

Enchanté Red

This Bordeaux-style blanc may give you a liħle déjà vu, but our New World twist will have you saying ‘ooh la la’. Lemon, lime, and subtle grapefruit aromas lead in to the true pièce de résistance – a dry, crisp palate with fresh citrus and melon avours, rounded out with sođ oak and gentle vanilla notes.

This vibrant blend has a certain je ne sais quoi that is sure to leave you charmed. Cherry and currant aromas rendezvous with notes of oak; rich avant-garde avours of cherry, currant, and plum are accented by oak and a sođ tannin nish.
