Bylaw debate on hold until next year Unarmed Kamloops bylaw officers have asked to carry pepper spray, batons and handcuffs ANDREA KLASSEN

A debate over arming city of Kamloops bylaw officers is going on the back burner until 2017. Corporate services and community safety director David Duckworth said the city wants to complete a review of the bylaw department’s priorities before it returns to the issue.

“There are too many variables to consider at this point until we complete a service level and priority review for the entire bylaw division,” Duckworth told KTW via email. “This review will look at many things including priorities, resources, et cetera. “If foot patrols, transient camps, et cetera, are still deemed a high priority, then the defensive tools will be considered further.”

uncommon for B.C. bylaw services. Duckworth said officers’ duties have changed in recent years, putting them in more volatile situations. “We patrol riverbanks,

we take down homeless shelters, we deal with transient people, panhandlers in the downtown core,” he told council at the time. “Those people can be suffering from addictions issues, from mental-health issues, and a lot of them that do live on the streets have their own self-protection.” The services review will take six to eight months to complete, Duckworth said.

CRIME

Police targeting gangsters Eight people were arrested and 130 vehicles were checked as anti-gang police officers descended on Kamloops over the weekend in what the local detachment’s spokeswoman is calling a proactive measure. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said officers from the Uniform Gang Enforcement Team were in the Tournament Capital to help stop criminal activity and prevent organized crime groups from further establishing a presence in the community. “The joint efforts over the weekend targeted those individuals participating in illegal activities and resulted in both enforcement and disruptive measures being taken,” she said. Shelkie said 23 residences were checked and gang officers conducted 15 curfew checks. She also said three vehicles were impounded. “The elimination of all organized criminal activity from the city of Kamloops remains a priority,” Shelkie said.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW The City of Kamloops expects to spend $3.1 million on upgrades to Westsyde Pool. Work on the pool, which has been closed for a year, is expected to begin this week.

Construction at Westsyde Pool is on track to begin this week. Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said the tender for the pool has come in on budget. Kamloops city council voted earlier this summer to allow staff to approve the tender — so long as it came in on target — to prevent work from being delayed by its sparser

summer meeting schedule. The city has budgeted $3.1 million for the pool project, with $2.3 million of the cost for construction (the full figure includes engineering, contingency funds and other work). Crundwell said the tender from D&T Developments Ltd. came in at $2.5 million — but the sum included some optional additional work on the building’s HVAC system that will likely be dropped to keep the proj-

HVAC or mechanical systems. “There was some minimal stuff that we had to do but because of the nature of the work we’re doing we put that in there.” Crundwell said there is

no cost penalty if the city decides not to do the extra work. The contractor has already set up fencing at the pool, Crundwell said, and the city is still optimistic the pool will have re-opened by late January. Westsyde pool closed last summer after the city discovered moisture from the pool had crept up through the ceiling, into the roof, rotting it from the inside out and requiring a total roof replacement.

No one was seriously injured when an RCMP cruiser was struck while pulling a U-turn on the Trans-Canada Highway in Kamloops early yesterday, police say. The accident happened at Grand Boulevard and East Trans-Canada Highway in Valleyview. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the accident involving a marked RCMP cruiser and a passenger car happened at about 8 a.m. She said the cruiser, with lights and siren activated, attempted a legal U-turn on a green light in pursuit of a another car. A second vehicle ran a red light and collided with the cruiser. The Trans-Canada Highway remained open in both directions but police said traffic was temporarily alternating single-lane while debris was cleared.

Five arrested with U.S. counterfeit cash: police Five Lower Mainland men have been arrested after trying to pass counterfeit U.S. money at multiple Kamloops businesses, police say. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said Mounties received a call from a local business on Saturday afternoon saying a customer had attempted to pass a fake U.S. bill before getting into a cab and leaving with others.

“Police intercepted the cab a few blocks away and five individuals were arrested,” she said. “Approximately 15 counterfeit $100 U.S. bills were located on the suspects.” Shelkie said two other businesses later contacted police to say they had received funny money, as well. She said the five men are

between the ages of 22 and 23 and all are known to police. They are slated to appear in court on Sept. 12. Shelkie asked any local businesses that have recently received suspicious U.S. money to call police. The names of the arrested men have not yet been made public because they have not been charged.

Bike link moving ahead The city isn’t getting provincial cash for a bike link between Sahali and the downtown, but could still move ahead with the first portion of the trail system. In a report headed to Kamloops city council today, city staff are asking for approval to spend up to $330,000 on consulting fees to design the first 1.7 kilometres of the Peterson Creek pathway, which would stretch from Glenfair

Drive to Summit Drive. The project, which is the first of three phases, would cost an estimated $3.25 million. A detailed design for the trail would be complete by next spring, according to the report. Council previously gave staff permission to seek Bike BC funding for the project, but that submission was unsuccessful. “Identification of further potential grant funding

sources is included in the consultant’s scope of work,” the report notes. The consultant is also charged with holding at least two open houses in the project — one during design and one before construction would begin. The trail is considered the highest priority connection of its type by the city. The consulting fees would come from Kamloops’ active transportation budget.

Street-legal golf carts coming to Chase Pilot program will see vehicles allowed to operate on streets in daytime CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The hottest new model on the road in Chase may be a golf cart. Minister of Transportation Todd Stone has unveiled new regulations to allow golf carts on certain streets in Qualicum and Chase in a two-year pilot program. It will be expanded to other communities, typically rural, based on the pilot program’s success. “There’s a real need for as

many forms of transportation as possible,” Stone told KTW. “People just want to get from the house to a doctor’s appointment to the grocery stone and back home.” Motor Vehicle Act regulations have been amended to allow the slow-moving vehicles. They will be restricted to 30 km/h, daytime only. Carts must also insured be outfitted with signals, mirrors and seatbelts. Stone said both Chase and Qualicum have a large number of lightly travelled side roads within the municipality.

Get Slim, Very Slim. Lose inches, weight, tone-up fast, improve your circulation, reduce stress levels or simply improve your overall energy and ﬁtness. We have the solution for you.

“There was significant requests for us to look at this.” A number of U.S. states, including Arizona, have widespread use of golf cars on public roads. Chase Mayor Rick Berrigan said he would like to see upwards of 100 carts licensed and used on local roads within the municipality. While golfers who already have carts are an obvious market for the new rules, Berrigan said it’s not about golf. “Running errands, going downtown instead of in a great big car they don’t feel

comfortable with,” he said. Stone said cost to upgrade a used cart with all required safety features runs from $300 to $600. New carts come with all needed features other than seatbelts, which can be added at low cost, he said. ICBC has filed proposed cart rates with B.C. Utilities Commission. Stone anticipates insurance will be available next month. “We’ve asked ICBC to make the product as affordable as possible — in the hundreds of dollars, not thousands.”

ELLIS STUMPING

B.C. Conservative Party leadership candidate Chloe Ellis, flanked by campaign manager Ryan Warara (far right), was at Kamloops’ McGowan Park over the weekend meeting potential supporters ahead of next year’s provincial election. Ellis, from New Westminster, ran under the federal Conservative banner in the 2015. Last month, she announced she would be seeking the provincial leadership. In the last provincial election, the Conservatives received less than five per cent of the popular vote and failed to win a single seat in the Legislature.

One year in jail for duct tape break-in Police found Jason Teskey’s fingerprints at the scene CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A floor layer found guilty of breaking into a home based on four fingerprints found on duct tape on a window has been sentenced to a year in jail. With credit for time served, Jason Teskey has another 140 days remaining on his sentence. He was found guilty after a trial in B.C. Supreme Court of break and enter and theft of firearms from a Valdes Drive home in February 2014. The conviction was based solely on four fingerprints found on duct tape placed on a window in order to gain entry.

I don’t believe Mr. “ Teskey’s evidence.”

— B.C. SUPREME COURT JUSTICE ELLIOTT MYERS

The homeowner returned from vacation to find the house ransacked and taps turned on to flood the home. About $12,000 worth of goods was missing. Teskey testified he gave a former employee and roommate six strips of duct tape so he could fix a broken truck window. “Mr. Teskey’s evidence is so incredible it doesn’t leave me with a reasonable doubt,” B.C. Supreme Court Justice Elliott Myers said.

Teskey testified he only knew his former employee and tenant’s name as “Scott” and made no attempt to find him following the charges. Myers also said there is no reason why Teskey would not have simply given him a roll of duct tape, rather than ripping off strips. The Crown also put to Teskey during cross-examination a post on his Facebook wall made in the days before the break-in, saying “duct tape can’t fix stupid but it can muffle the sound.” “I don’t believe Mr. Teskey’s evidence,” Myers said. “It’s hard to accept he wouldn’t give Scott a roll of duct tape.”

Man tells judge he beat Chihuahua rescue dog to death in self-defence Christopher Mathes pleaded guilty to an animal abuse charge stemming from the beating death of his family pet CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The fate of a Kamloops man who claims to have beaten a Chihuahua rescue dog to death in self-defence is in the hands of a provincial court judge. Christopher Mathes, 41, pleaded guilty to causing pain or suffering to an animal, an offence under the Criminal Code. The millwright and father of two told provincial court judge Roy Dickey on Friday he killed the dog, a Chihuahua named Jersey, out of self-defence and fear after it earlier bit his sixyear-old daughter in the face, causing a cut under her eye. It was the latest in a string of attacks by the dog on other dogs and people. “I was scared,” Mathes said. “I didn’t know what to do. I wish I turned and ran.” Crown prosecutor Alex Janse, who asked for a six-month conditional sentence including a three-month curfew for Mathes, presented another picture: An angry father reacting in frustration by beating the 10-pound dog to death with a fence post. She compared it to taking a friend’s child, who had bit other children in the face, outside and beating it to death. “Mr. Mathes was in a position of trust,” she said. Court heard the dog was

inside the house on Oct. 11 last year during a Thanksgiving meal. Mathes and his wife had friends over to their home. The dog earlier bit their friends’ dog in the face a number of times. Mathes’ lawyer, Chris Thompson, said it had bitten five people in the two weeks preceding. After the dog bit the couple’s daughter, it was moved outside. That’s when Mathes told the

judge he was going to put it in the garage. It became aggressive when he attempted to move it. “He was not mad, he tells me,” Thompson said, pitching a conditional discharge for Mathes — a sanction that would leave him without a criminal record. “He was agitated.” The couple adopted the dog from a rescue agency about a month earlier. It was brought to Canada from California The family had other pets and were also involved in horse training. Janse also asked for a 10-year ban on Mathes having a dog in his home. Dickey reserved his decision to a later date.

OLYMPICS BRINGS OUT THE HEART IN US ALL A lot of residents have their eyes glued on Rio, Brazil. The Olympics bring out the every-four-years sports fan in a lot of us, with folks hitherto oblivious to the state of women’s rugby sevens following with bated breath as Canada’s team goes for a medal. This year, there’s been a lot of controversy surrounding the games before they even opened on the weekend. From the state of polluted water venues to athlete accommodations lacking basic finishes as teams arrived, to safety in a city and a country where people have been struggling with crime, poverty and the Zika virus in recent years, there was a lot of speculation that 2016’s summer games would be a disappointing affair. So far, these complaints have been mere background as the athletes have taken centre stage (as they should), their exploits dominating the spotlight. But still front and centre in a few instances has been the Russian doping scandal. Russian athletes faced a possible blanket ban from Rio 2016 just weeks before the games opened, with a scathing report delivered to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) detailing elaborate cheating in Sochi. But the IOC, in what could be seen as a rather cowardly abdication of responsibility, left it up to the individual sport federations to determine if Russian athletes would be allowed to compete in Rio. Russians aren’t the only ones to ever be caught doping, of course. But the revelation that there was actual state sponsorship of cheating in Sochi is shocking. So why continue to watch? Everyone has their Olympic year favourites, from beach volleyball to the sports we rarely see like handball and water polo. Diving, rowing and pole vault all have a place in our Olympic hearts. That’s why we watch — when our Canadian athletes step up to compete in their disciplines, the culmination of a lifetime of work, we stand up there with them, proudly cheering for the maple leaf. Their achievement overcomes any disappointment over scandal. — Cowichan Valley Citizen

With five commissioners led by B.C. judge Marion Buller and a budget that has swelled by a third to $54 million before it even starts, this inquiry has one big advantage over all the previous studies of Canada’s intractable problems of poverty and violence in aboriginal communities. In this case, the politicians all agree what the outcome is going to be. They’ve been saying so for months, since the Justin Trudeau government was elected on this and other passionate, if questionable, promises. Justice Minister Jody WilsonRaybould, a member of the We Wai Kai Nation on the B.C. coast, a former Crown prosecutor and chair of the B.C. Treaty Commission, announced the terms of reference earlier this month. She stressed the inquiry will not attempt to retry cold cases, but to examine the root causes of the high numbers of missing and murdered women. Next up was Indigenous Affairs Minister Carolyn Bennett, who has no doubt at all what those root causes are: racism, sexism and the lingering effects of colonialism. Bennett has been meeting steadily with grieving families since being appointed, and now accepts that racist, indifferent cops are the main root cause. Bennett explained this conclusion from New York in April, while attending a “Women of the World”

VICTORIA summit. It’s an “uneven application of justice,” she told The Globe and Mail, a phrase we’ll hear again and again. “You end up with people who have been told it’s an overdose, or a suicide or an accident,” Bennett said. RCMP have reported close to 1,200 unsolved cases of murdered or missing indigenous women since 1980, a figure that Bennett scoffs at. What’s her evidence? She’s talked to families, and knows it’s “way more” than that. One of the previous inquiries was by a United Nations official, James Anaya, in 2014. He noted the alarming statistics of education outcome and violent offences against women and referred to 660 cases documented by the Native Women’s Association of Canada. He also described being besieged by demands for a national inquiry, as he went through the stacks of studies that have already been done. “Since 1996,” Anaya wrote in his UN report, “there have been at least 29 official inquiries and reports dealing with aspects of

this issue, which have resulted in over 500 recommendations for action.” As the latest inquiry was being launched, Perry Bellegarde, the current Assembly of First Nations national chief, recited Bennett’s speaking points about the conclusions it will reach. Bellegarde told CTV the problem is vastly under-reported because “. . . oh, it’s an accidental death. Oh, it’s a suicide.” Then he called for more money for housing and other programs from the failed Indian Act system. There are several glaring factors that apparently will not be discussed, because they fall outside the politically correct boundaries of this pre-determined narrative. One is the even more alarming number of aboriginal men and boys who are victims of violent crime. Another is the rate of domestic abuse reported by indigenous women, which Statistics Canada estimated this year at about 10 per cent of their population. That’s three times the national average, but it was not mentioned amid the demands for justice at the inquiry. Another key issue that is forbidden from discussion is the social and economic viability of remote communities. Some of them haven’t been able to maintain clean water and safe housing, much less education and employment, despite billions in spending every year.

Jury hearing slowspeed chase trial CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

An RCMP corporal described in B.C. Supreme Court Monday the slow-motion chase of a fleeing truck and trailer in June this year that ended at the Sandman Inn after police deployed a spike belt. Jonathan Phillips is charged with break and enter to commit theft, possession of stolen property, failure to stop for police and operating a vehicle in a dangerous manner. He is representing himself in front of a 12-person jury. Prosecutor Frank Caputo told the jury the trial will hear from police and civilian witnesses. The Crown is attempting to prove Phillips broke into an office of Bayer Crop Science in the 1200-block of McGill Road in the early morning of June 18 and stole a truck and trailer unit. Shortly after an alarm went to a private security company, RCMP Cpl. Kelly Butler testified she saw a Ford 550 truck towing a trailer with a John Deer tractor aboard. “I thought it was unusual to see a truck pulling heavy equipment at

that time of the morning.” Butler testified she followed the unit into Dufferin Court, where it stopped at a home and then left again. The RCMP member activated her lights and siren but the truck continued down Hillside Drive at a speed of 40 to 50 km/h, When Butler pulled alongside, the driver rolled down his window and shouted “he wasn’t violent and wasn’t armed,” Butler testified. “I told him to pull over. He didn’t. He just kept going.” She gave up the chase after pulling in front of the truck and attempting to slow and stop it. Butler testified it veered around her and drove in the wrong lane in order to continue down the hill toward downtown. Caputo told the jury the truck was eventually stopped, nearly riding on its rims after hitting an RCMP spike belt, at the Sandman Inn downtown. Police had to strike at Phillips to get him to remove his hands from the wheel. He was then arrested and charged. The trial is expected to continue today.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Crown alleges an offender with a lifetime firearms ban was in possession of a prohibited rifle, handgun and Taser-type weapon found in a furnace-room area of a house rented to tenants on two floors. Steven Bartkowski is charged with 11 offences, including for firearms and drugs seized in an RCMP raid in March 2014 at 259 Chestnut Avenue in North Kamloops. Crown lawyer Adrienne Murphy said in B.C. Supreme Court Monday police seized a sawed-off rifle, prohibited handgun and an electrical stun-gun shaped like a set of brass knuckles.

Also found were methamphetamine, LSD and cocaine. The weapons were found in a duffel bag in a furnace room. Both Bartkowski, in the basement suite, and the tenant of the top floor had access to the room. “The central issue is whether the Crown can establish Mr. Bartkowski had possession of the weapons,” Murphy said. “It’s a completely circumstantial case.” No fingerprints were found on the weapons. Cst. David Bonner-Corriveau testified the RCMP’s targeted enforcement unit received information drugs and guns were located in Bartkowski’s suite. The trial is scheduled to last two to three days.

Home sales fall in Lower Mainland area THE CANADIAN PRESS VANCOUVER — Home sales across the country fell 1.3 per cent in July, led by declines across Greater Vancouver and the Fraser Valley. The latest figures from the Canadian Real Estate Association show the third consecutive month of slower housing sales. The association said that since February, sales in Vancouver have tumbled 21.5 per cent, and 28.8 per cent in the valley, but price gains continue to accelerate across the Lower Mainland, which it says is a further sign of a lack of inventory. The national average price for a home sold in July was nearly $481,000, up almost 10 per cent compared with a year ago. But if Vancouver and Toronto are cut from the calculations, the average price was about $365,000 — a seven per cent hike over last July.

Boy found after night lost in the bush

COURTENAY — A three-year-old Vancouver Island boy is fine after spending the night alone in the bush. The boy wandered away from his home near Union Bay, south of Courtenay, on Sunday evening and a full-scale search was launched by 9 p.m. Members of six Island search and rescue teams, bolstered by a large contingent of RCMP officers searched through the night, eventually locating the child on a remote logging road. Search spokesman Paul Berry said the boy’s face was smeared with berries after eating them but he was otherwise fine, despite his ordeal.

Arson charges laid against 35-year-old

MISSION — A 35-year-old Lower Mainland man has been charged with three counts of arson linked to a series of deliberately set fires near Stave Lake, north of Mission. The charges relate to an investigation that began in 2011, following a series of suspicious fires around Stave Lake between 2008 and 2010. Although the fires occurred in different years, they were all sparked in July and in the same geographic area, leading investigators to suspect a connection, although they haven’t said what led them to a single suspect.

Trudeau talks Supreme Court, Olympics as Atlantic visit begins THE CANADIAN PRESS

CORNER BROOK, N.L. — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says regional representation is important but won’t commit to ensuring the country’s top court has a judge from Atlantic Canada. Trudeau said yesterday his Liberal government is weighing several factors as it considers the next vacancy on the Supreme Court of Canada. “We need to make sure that we’re folding in all sorts of different aspects to get the best possible people to sit on the Supreme Court,’’ he told reporters in Corner Brook, N.L., as he began a string of East Coast visits. “Having the perspective from Atlantic Canada is an

extremely important one and we’re looking forward to making sure we make the right choice.’’ Justice Thomas Cromwell from Nova Scotia retires next month but Trudeau appears to be departing from the convention of automatically filling that place with another judge from the region. That prospect drew criticism last week after the government announced it would make the selection process more transparent by having a new non-partisan advisory board develop a short list of potential new judges. The seven-member independent panel led by former prime minister Kim Campbell will review candidates from across the country.

Trudeau’s mandate letter to Campbell asks her to ensure prospective judges are “functionally bilingual’’ and reflect Canada’s ethnic diversity. Candidates from Atlantic Canada are expected to be on that short list and are encouraged to apply. The president of the Canadian Bar Association, Janet Fuhrer, wrote to Trudeau and Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould, urging them to respect the regional appointment custom. The prime minister was greeted by hundreds of selfieseeking people as he visited a Memorial University of Newfoundland campus in Corner Brook. He made a brief morning stop there after meeting with Liberal Premier

Dwight Ball on his way to the St. John’s region. He was to travel on to New Brunswick later in the day yesterday. Trudeau said he was up late Sunday night watching Olympics coverage of Andre De Grasse becoming Canada’s latest athletic hero with a bronze medal in the 100metre sprint. It was the first medal for a Canadian male at these games. “It is 2016, which means the girls are doing extraordinarily well,’’ he said. “But I must admit I stayed up late to watch Andre De Grasse do just an extraordinary job in the 100-metre. “We’ve got a great Olympic team and all of Canada is incredibly behind them.’’

Alberta will ban Three days, no verdict in spear hunting Montreal shooting trial after bear video sparks outrage MONTREAL — Jurors at Richard Henry Bain’s first-degree murder trial will deliberate for a fourth day after failing to reach a verdict yesterday afternoon. Aside from a few minor issues, Day 3 went by without word from jurors, who will get back to work this morning. Earlier on yesterday, Superior Court Justice Guy Cournoyer and the lawyers had to deal with the issue of a protester standing outside the Montreal courthouse. Constables guarding the jurors told the court a man wearing a Quebec flag and carrying a French sign reading “R.H. Bain Guilty’’ was within view as they arrived for deliberations.

Cournoyer and lawyers elected to not address the issue and decided to trust the jurors would not be swayed by outside influences. Bain, 65, is charged with firstdegree murder in the death of stagehand Denis Blanchette, as well as three counts of attempted murder. The charges are connected with events outside the Metropolis nightclub in September 2012 as thenpremier designate Pauline Marois was inside celebrating the Parti Quebecois’ election win. Bain’s lawyer has argued he was mentally ill at the time and should be found not criminally responsible. But the Crown has argued Bain was of sound mind and that the shooting was premeditated and triggered by his anger over the PQ election victory.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — The Alberta government says a video showing a black bear being killed by a spear is unacceptable and it plans on banning the practice. The online video posted in June on the account of Josh Bowmar, who runs an Ohio-based fitness company with his wife, set off a deluge of outrage before it was made private. The 13-minute video shows Bowmar launching a spear — with a camera attached — at a bear from 11 to 14 metres away and captures his jubilant reaction when the animal was pierced. It credited John and Jenn Rivet, who run a hunting outfitting business in Swan Hills, Alta., north of Edmonton for organizing the hunt. In a statement, a spokesman for Alberta’s Ministry of Environment and Parks called spear hunting archaic and said a ban will be introduced.

Environmental assessment review panel announced by Liberal government BOB WEBER

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The federal Liberals have announced details of a long-promised review to examine environmental assessments for projects from pipelines to new mines. Environment Minister Catherine McKenna said yesterday a four-person panel has been asked to study how the assessments are done to ensure decisions are based on sound science, avoid duplication and serve and involve the public. The review was included in the mandate letter McKenna received from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau when she was appointed to the post last fall. Neither industry nor environmentalists have been happy in recent years with the way environmental assessments are done. One side says they are too complex and lengthy, while the other says they don’t protect fragile ecosystems and leave out important considerations. During the federal election,

Trudeau spoke about the need to reform a process that he said had lost the trust of Canadians. That promise was repeated in the throne speech. The first Liberal budget committed $16.5 million over three years to improve consultations already ongoing and support First Nations involvement. The new review promises extensive opportunities for pubic input, as well as direct consultation with interested organizations. Meetings are to be held in areas where projects have been through an environmental assessment. The panel will be led by Johanne Gelinas, a former federal commissioner of environment and sustainable development. Retired Teck Resources vicepresident Doug Horswill and environmental and aboriginal lawyers Rod Northey and Renee Pelletier round it out. The panel is expressly instructed to engage with First Nations individuals and groups. It is also instructed to work

together with other reviews being done by Fisheries and Oceans, Natural Resources and Transport Canada. The panel is to begin next month and finish by the end of January. Environmental groups welcomed yesterday’s announcement. “This review marks the beginning of a rare opportunity to build a next-generation environmental assessment law for Canada,’’ said a statement from Jessica Clogg of the West Coast Environmental Law Association. “With widespread conflict over projects like oil pipelines and dams, the stakes have never been higher.’’ Stephen Hazell of Nature Canada said in a release he was pleased by the panel’s makeup and terms of reference. “We look forward to working with the panel in the coming weeks to develop proposals for the next generation of laws to ensure that development is sustainable and nature is conserved.’’

McDougall, who was 26, was shot at his home after police responded to an altercation. The officers involved were never charged and police have maintained that McDougall wouldn’t drop a knife he was holding.

The Snowbombing Festival (shown in recent years above) includes winter activities, music performances and themed parks. It is expected to draw thousands to Sun Peaks for its April 6 opening.

Festival expected to have $4-million impact Snowbombing Festival to land at Sun Peaks in April, global headliners to be announced this fall DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Europe.

idan Kelly has his own idea on why Sun Peaks was chosen to host the first Snowbombing Festival outside

“Once you’ve got someone here at Sun Peaks and they see what they have, they

get excited quickly,” said the resort community’s director of sales and marketing. For those unaware of Snowbombing, it’s been likened to the Glastonbury of skiresort festivals — and Glastonbury ranks pretty high up on the world’s most popular music festivals. Kelly said organizers of the annual snow and music event have wanted to bring it to North America for some time. Begun in 2000 in France, it has made its home in Mayrhofen, Austria, since 2005 and has had musical lineups each year featuring electronic, indie/rock and DJ.

The template includes a lot of winter sports activities alongside music performances and themed parks in interesting or unusual locations. That’s one feature Sun Peaks offers, Kelly said, from the village to the mountain tops to the valley. With the final contract and actual dollar figures yet to be firmed up, Kelly estimates when the event opens on April 6 next year, every hotel room will be booked, restaurants will be busy, all the technical aspects required to mount a four-day series of concerts will be in place and the economic impact will be significant.

In announcing the move to Sun Peaks, the festival’s Canadian public-relations people said the 2017 lineup will be released this fall and include global headliners and world-class artists. Full event and package details will be announced mid-August with package pricing including accommodation and festival tickets. Kelly estimated, assuming an attendance of 4,000 people, the economic impact would be about $4.2 million for the event. See SNOWBOMBING, A15

I was a little late for the 1960s (kind of hard to be a hippie when you’re five) and the only thing I remember about the 1970s was big hair and nasty wide pants.

CONSILIO in 1980? Well, it looks like the trends may be changing. The US Census Bureau has released its population estimates for 2015 and there are interesting changes on the horizon. In a ranking of the top 10 ages in a given year, here is what we see: • 2010: Of the 10 most common ages seven are between

46 and 52; • 2015: Of the 10 most common ages seven are between 22 and 28; • 2020: All 10 of the most common ages are between 25 and 35. In 2015, it was estimated the North American population was fairly equal at around 20 per cent for each of baby boomers, gen-Xers (approximately early 1960s to late 1970s) and millennials (born early 1980s to late 1990s). By 2028, it is estimated millennials will be at 23 per cent with boomers and gen-Xers

at around 18.5 per cent. Yes, the kids are taking over once again. I commented on the rates back around 1980. Five-year mortgage rates peaked at more than 20 per cent. Zoom ahead 35 years and with the help of central bankers, those same rates are in the three to four per cent range. This is great if you would like to buy a house because the cost of borrowing money has become a bargain.

That being said, because it is a bargain to borrow, housing prices have gone up substantially and many are saying we are in a housing bubble. Just to highlight this housing and interest rate situation, I will relay a story I heard from an analyst. Imagine living in Denmark, having a mortgage on your house and having your bank give you $38 per quarter on your mortgage. When you have a mortgage rate of negative 0.0562, that’s what happens. I don’t think it will happen in Canada, but I would love it. So with the lowest interest rates since around 1790 (yes, pre1800), housing prices in a possible bubble and baby boomers

heading into retirement and looking to downsize, what can we expect? I would guess the following: First, housing prices are high and we may see some correction (but most likely not extreme) with the millennials hopefully picking up the slack in home purchases. If we can get them to move out of the basement, that is. Second, interest rates may not make any large moves for some time because central banks will not move unless they see inflation risks and for that you need strong economic growth. Finally, stock markets could be challenging but will most likely continue to gain as boomers look for

any place to find yield. A four per cent dividend is still easier to live on than a 1.5 per cent GIC. As always, let me know your thought, opinions and questions.

Last winter, Sun Peaks set an all-time record for hotel-room stays at about 70,000. It expects to get another boost in the spring, when Snowbombing hits the village and fans flock for global headliners.

Snowbombing fans expected to follow festival to Sun Peaks

10,000 rooms occupied. And with news of the $1.4-billion sale of Whistler Blackcomb to Vail Resort, Kelly expects that will be good for Sun Peaks. “It’s good news for the ski industry as a whole in Western Canada,” he said of the deal, bringing more attention to the quality runs B.C. has to offer. While they may seem to be in competition, Kelly said the ski resorts in the province work closely with each other to attract visitors. “If they do well,” he said of Whistler Blackcomb, “we do well. What happens there will have an impact on us, as well.”

$105,748 raised to send kids to camp youth with life-threatening illnesses and chronic disabilities to camp in the Fraser Valley. A record 52,874 Pirate Paks were sold, ensuring 70 children

and youth will be going to camp at Zajac Ranch

in Mission. White Spot chipped in $2 from each to the cause. Since the event’s inception in 2008, more than 300 kids have gone, with $555,748 raised.

Snowbombing festivals. At some point, hotel-room capacity will be insufficient for the numbers coming to stay — and that would bring Kamloops hotels and motels into play, with the potential of having regular shuttle buses back and forth. “It’s great for us,” Kelly said, “and the potential spinoff is a great story for the entire community.” Landing the festival is just one of the reasons Sun Peaks is celebrating. Last winter saw it set an all-time record for hotel-room stays at about 70,000. July’s hotel bookings were up 21 per cent from the same month last year, with about

One of the other benefits that came with deciding on Canada, Kelly said, was the willingness of the Coors Light beer label to be the title sponsor. The plan going into the partnership is for it to be an ongoing agreement, Kelly said, but he acknowledged that will be dependent on how the first year comes together. “We don’t know what we’re both getting into here,” he said, “but the intention is for it to be a long-term relationship.” Kelly anticipates the festival will bring many new people to the community. Through the years, Snowbombing has created its own annual following of regulars who have already been showing interest in coming to Canada and building on to the festival with a longer vacation. That bodes well for the rest of the province, Kelly said, as does the potential of annual

It’s great for us and the “potential spinoff is a great story for the entire community.”

Back to school spending is 'economy insensitive' and set to grow, experts say PETER GOFFIN

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Retail experts are forecasting an increase in Canadian back-toschool spending this summer thanks in part to the low loonie and the new Canada Child Benefit. Business consulting firm EY, formerly Ernst and Young, predicts retailers will see a 4.5 per cent increase this year over 2015 sales as students stock up for another year in the classroom. EY's forecast is based on factors that include province-byprovince employment numbers, housing markets and consumer spending habits over the past 12 to 18 months, said EY's Daniel Baer. EY also asked retailers across the country for their own sales trends and expectations. Back to school is the second-biggest shopping season after Christmas, Baer said. "What we've been seeing is stronger retail

sales for a few reasons," Baer said. "The Canadian economy has been relatively strong [and] there's been some more government spending in terms of child-care benefits . . . putting money into the hands of families." This year, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau replaced existing childcare benefits with a program that will see the average family get $2,300 per year. The new Canada Child Benefit is expected to push tens of thousands of Canadian children above the poverty line and could help stimulate the economy. The weak loonie has also encouraged more Canadians to shop on this side of the border instead of going to the U.S. to stock up on supplies or buying

from American online retailers, Baer said. And a number of Americans are travelling north to shop in order to take advantage of the exchange rate, too, giving a further shot in the arm to the Canadian economy. EY doesn't expect all provinces to reap the rewards of increased back-to-school spending. The struggling oiland-gas industry and rising unemployment in the Prairies point to lower spending, especially in Alberta, said Baer. But Alan Middleton, a marketing professor at York University's Schulich School of Business, said backto-school spending is relatively immune to a weak economy. "They may not get the top-of-the-line laptop . . . if [they are] under economic threat, but there's still going to be a whole bunch of other stuff they're [buying]," he said. Electronics stores might see fewer people shopping for new

tablets or laptops, but big-box retailers like Walmart will still sell the same number of essential items, said Middleton. "Clothing, uniforms, paper, crayons, the whole caboodle is really quite economyinsensitive," he said. "People have to buy them." Another factor that fuels back-to-school sales is the constant growth of the length of the season. "If you go back a decade or a decade and a half, you probably didn't really see anything happen until the last week in August," Middleton said. "Now you're going to see it after the August holiday weekend." Stores use a marketing pitch of "don't wait to get it, we have good deals now," he added. Retailers don't want everyone to cram into stores at the last minute because the crowds put off some shoppers, Middleton said. "Whereas if some

Work at first U.S. offshore wind farm in final phases THE CANADIAN PRESS

NEW SHOREHAM, R.I. — Construction on the first offshore wind farm in the U.S. is in its final phases. Deepwater Wind's five-turbine wind farm off Block Island, R.I., is expected to be making electricity this fall. Crews at the site are working on the tower sections for the fourth turbine this week.

They'll begin working on the blades in the coming days, then the tower sections for the fifth, and final, turbine. The $300 million project is expected to power about 17,000 homes. Developers, federal regulators and industry experts say the opening will pave the way for many more wind farms that will eventually provide power for many Americans. Deepwater Wind says it proves wind farms can be built along the nation's coast.

Buffett's company adds to stakes in Apple and Phillips 66 THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

OMAHA, Neb.— Warren Buffett's company is taking an even bigger bite of Apple stock and adding to its sizeable stake in Phillips 66. Berkshire Hathaway filed an update with regulators Monday on its roughly $130-billion U.S.

stock portfolio. Berkshire said it held 15.2 million Apple shares at the end of June, up from the 9.8 million share stake it first disclosed in the spring. The Apple investment raises eyebrows because Buffett has always been reluctant to invest in technology companies, but it

may have been the work of one of Berkshire's two other investment managers. Berkshire now owns 78.8-million shares in oil refiner Phillips 66, up from 75.6 million. It also cut its WalMart investment to 40.2-million shares at the end of June from 55.2 million shares in March.

people buy some stuff early, the observation is they're still buying even at the end [of the back-to-school season]. So the total amount of buying builds up." Baer agreed backto-school promotions are starting earlier and ending later. "You're seeing a lot of promotions starting in July and going to the middle of September, even after school has started again."

Back to School 2x4 8 Appetizing kid-friendly bites \\

c AaBb BACK TOCSCHOOL

Children can be picky eaters, making it challenging for parents to find foods their kids will consume. This September, prepare lunches kids are certain to devour by thinking outside of the traditional lunch box. Using some creativity and building off of kids’ favorite foods is the key.

Make it miniature

Mini versions of kids’ favourite foods can be entertaining and entice children to try things they normally wouldn’t. If it’s fun-sized, it can be swallowed in one bite. Think about mini sandwiches cut into fun shapes with a cookie cutter. Or use little condiment cups to hold chicken salad, soup or yogurt.

Offer variety

Give kids a bit of a buffet inside of their lunches. This way, if something isn’t tickling their taste buds, they still have other healthy options at the ready.

This technique also ensures kids will not get hungry after skipping meals. Lunch buffets do not have to be complicated. Include half of a sandwich, a piece of fruit or an applesauce cup, some trail mix and a granola bar. Look for complex carbohydrates and protein so little bellies will feel full.

Go with what works

If a child really enjoyed the previous night’s dinner, offer up a repeat for lunch the next day. Some schools have a microwave where hot foods can be reheated. If that’s not available, invest in a thermos or a durable, insulated container that can keep the foods at a comfortable temperature. Lunchtime at school occurs not too far into the day, and it’s feasible that food can still be warm if heated right before leaving the house.

Sneak in some nutrition

If kids are bound to eat the same thing over and over again, mix it up in subtle ways. Add a slice of tomato to a plain cheese sandwich and serve it on whole-wheat bread for added nutrition. Blend cauliflower into mac-and-cheese so it’s barely noticeable. Add flavor to lunch meats with a piece of bacon. Bake up nutritious cereal bars on your own that pack a nutritious punch and could have pureed fruit as the base.

Steve Seibel of Kamloops is officiating at the Olympic Summer Games for the third time.

SEIBEL RELISHING OLYMPIC EXPERIENCE ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Teresa Seibel turns the TV to basketball at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games in Rio de Janiero, she’s not watching the NBA players in Team USA jerseys, the European professionals wearing the colours of France and Croatia or South Americans representing the likes of Argentina and Brazil. She’s not even tuning in to see Toronto Raptors’ point guard Cory Joseph and Team Canada. No, Teresa is instead looking for the man with the whistle, the official running up and down the court, her husband, Steve. “The word isn’t surreal, it’s more pride,” she said of seeing her husband on TV at the Games. “I’ve seen him on the [TV] screen, we’ve streamed some of his other games, but at this calibre, where everybody else is watching him, not just me watching him, I feel a really deep pride.” Steve, who away from the hardcourt is a lawyer at Kamloops’ Cundari and Seibel LLP, got his start in officiating as a junior high student in the Tournament Capital, at the behest of longtime friend, and now NorKam Saints

Future NBA Hall of Famer and LA Lakers’ legend Kobe Bryant lets referee Steve Seibel of Kamloops know he appreciates the work he is doing at the 2012 Olympic Summer Games in London, with Luis Scola of Argentina and the Brooklyn Nets looking on. Keep an eye out for Seibel in action this week in Rio.

basketball coach, Lindsay Karpluk. It was the start of a passion for Steve. He has since refereed high school, CIS, NCAA and international levels of basketball. He even had a cup of coffee with the NBA, before deciding the grind of the professional ranks wasn’t for him. Now, refereeing his third Games — he also officiated the 2008 Olympics in Beijing and the

2012 Olympics in London — Steve said he is relishing the opportunity to be back at the Olympics. “The Olympics are the pinnacle of sport and I cherish the opportunity that comes with the responsibility of officiating at the Games,” he said in an email from Rio. “I walk out on the floor each time knowing that the players, coaches and competing countries

expect a level playing field and that is what we attempt to bring each game.” Steve will be in Brazil for the duration of the Olympics. He is notified of his game assignments on a daily basis and saw a lot of action in the first week in Rio, including games between the United States and Serbia, Serbia and France, Lithuania and Brazil,

Spain and Croatia and the U.S. and China. He also had the opportunity to attend the opening ceremonies of the Games and explore the Olympic Park and a variety of Rio’s other venues. “The Olympic Spirit is prevalent throughout Rio,” the 45-yearold said. “Each Olympics take on their own personality and each are fuelled by the passion of the host city, the enthusiasm of the spectators from different countries and the achievements of the athletes. Rio has been no different and has brought all of that and more.” The Rio Olympics are the first that Steve has attended on his own. In both 2008 and 2012, Teresa and the couple’s two kids, Sol and Sophia, tagged along. Teresa said safety at the Games was among the reasons she elected to watch the action from her couch rather than the stands, but she isn’t fearful for her husband while he’s working in South America. While the experience is worklike for Steve, Teresa said it’s also his passion. “He loves the thrill of sport,” Teresa said. “It doesn’t have to be basketball, he is one of those guys that loves every sport. It could be golf, football, hockey, he loves the agony and the ecstasy of it.”

There was no stopping the Westshore Rebels’ running attack on Saturday at Hillside Stadium. The Langford squad racked up 416 yards on the ground — 238 of them from the B.C. Football Conference’s leading rusher, Jamel Lyles — and outlasted the resilient Kamloops Broncos to win 45-32. “For the rest of the year and into the playoffs, they’re going to run the football,” Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka said of the Rebels. “If any team can stop that run, I don’t think they win many football games. They’ve got some big O-linemen and two good backs. [Stopping the run] has always been our Achilles heel and we’re trying to figure it out.” Lyles, who has 697 yards rushing after four games, scored three touchdowns and his partner in the backfield, Trey Campbell, shredded the Broncos for 158 yards and one touchdown on 10 carries. Campbell also caught a touchdown pass from Rebels’ pivot Scott Borden, who finished 15-for-21 for 201 yards, two touchdowns

and one interception. Despite their inability to tame the two-headed rushing monster, the Broncos kept pace with the Rebels and entered the fourth quarter down only three points, but Westshore outscored Kamloops 14-4 in the final stanza to sink the home team. “We had them on the ropes and then it’s just the little things . . . we’re third down and one on about their 20-yard line and we just couldn’t execute,” Yamaoka said. “Those are the little things we need to be able to do.” The Broncos bounced back from a dismal performance in a 51-7 loss to the Langley Rams in Week 3 with a better showing on Saturday. Quarterback Colby Henkel, 18, led the way on offence, completing 22 of 40 passes for 401 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. “He’s on track. There’s still lots of little mistakes he makes and those are expected, being a young QB, but we’re very happy with the way he’s playing and even happier with the way he conducts himself at practice.” Kamloops receivers Colin Mather, Austin Semeniuk and Broden Romanovitch caught touchdown passes and Brody Bernier found pay dirt.

Anthony Arduini kicked one field goal and four conversions. On defence, Tevin McCarty had five tackles and a sack, Jesse Zajaros and Jordan Angove each had six tackles and Connor Thornewell had an interception. The Broncos are 0-4 on the season and the going gets tougher on Saturday in Kelowna, where the Okanagan Sun will look to improve on their 4-0 mark at the Apple Bowl. Okanagan topped Kamloops 45-30 at Hillside on July 30 in a game that remained close until the fourth quarter. “We’re hanging in,” Yamaoka said. “As coaches, we’re just trying to find ways to make sure these guys stay engaged. We knew going into the season we were going to take our lumps. “We’ve got to make sure we stay together as a team and not divided.”

Good news

Kamloops running back Reece Barber was taken away from Hillside in an ambulance on Saturday after a collision with a Rebel. Yamaoka said Barber reaggravated a back injury and is expected to make a full recovery, although he will almost certainly miss this weekend’s game.

Canada is back in soccer’s medal round at the Olympics — and this time the team wants more. The Canadian women surprisingly reached the podium four years ago at the London Games, beating France 1-0 for the bronze medal. The Canadians again knocked off the higherranked French in the quarter-finals in Brazil, earning a semifinal match against Germany today in Belo Horizonte. Kickoff is slated for noon. Canada, ranked No. 10 in the world, has had a brilliant run in Brazil with wins in all four of its matches — three of which came against top-five teams. “I’m super proud of every single player. We have this neversay-die attitude and defensively we’re not going to give up much. Teams are going to have to work to break us down,” Canada captain Christine Sinclair said following the victory over France in Sao Paulo. If Canada gets by No. 2 Germany for the second time in Brazil, the women will get a shot against either Sweden or Brazil in the gold-medal match in Rio de Janeiro on Friday. With the victory over No. 3 France, the Canadians became the only team from London to return to the semifinals.

Melissa Tancredi scored twice for Canada in a 2-1 victory over Germany in round-robin play at the Olympic Summer Games in Brazil last week. The two nations meet again today in semifinal action in Belo Horizonte, with kickoff slated for noon.

The three-time defending champion United States was ousted by Sweden in the quarter-finals, Canada eliminated France and Japan (silver) didn’t qualify for the tournament. The Canadians are no doubt also seeking some redemption after the disappointing 4-3 overtime loss to the U.S. in the London semifinals. Sinclair scored all three of Canada’s goals, but Abby Wambach nailed a penalty kick

shortly after a questionable call — the Canadian goalkeeper was flagged with the rarely used call for time wasting — sending the match into extra time. Alex Morgan scored the game-winner. Afterward, Sinclair commented on the officiating, eventually drawing a four-match suspension from international play. Now 33, Sinclair has played well in Brazil with a pair of goals to move her into a tie with Brazil forward Marta

for third on the career Olympic goal list with 10. Brazil’s Cristiane has the most with 14. Also having a good tournament is Janine Beckie, who has three goals. Veteran Sophie Schmidt scored the only goal in the quarter-final victory over France. The Canadians will face a German team that very well could be looking for revenge after falling 2-1 to Canada in group play. Melissa Tancredi scored both goals for Canada. But the Germans nonetheless earned a spot in the semifinals with a 1-0 victory over China on Friday in Salvador. Melanie Behringer scored the only goal for the reigning European champions. Canada’s return to the semifinals also gives U.S. fans something to cheer for after the Americans lost on penalties to Sweden. It was the earliest U.S. exit ever in a major international tournament. “I’m proud on what we’re showing,” Canada coach John Herdman said. “We’re on the medal rounds. We’re here, but we’re not done yet.”

ANSWERS TO THE CROSSWORD PUZZEL ON PAGE A25

Andre De Grasse won bronze in the 100-metre dash for Canada at the Olympic Summer Games in Rio on Sunday and will be looking to collect more hardware later this week. De Grasse is aiming to qualify for the 200-m dash final, which will be held at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday. He is also part of Canada’s 4x100-m relay team, which has its sights on reaching the Olympic final. That race is slated for 6:35 p.m. on Friday. De Grasse ran a personal-best 9.91 seconds in the 100-m final, outdone only by silver medallist Justin Gatlin (9.89) of the U.S. and three-time Olympic champion Usain Bolt (9.81) of Jamaica.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory Of

Gary Kenneth Dyer March 20, 1959 - August 15, 2014

Grief never ends, but it changes. It’s a passage, not a place to stay. Grief is not a sign of weakness, nor a lack of faith … it is the price of love. Words cannot express how much we miss you Babe, and Kels-Kels, Dude and Lu; but we will be ok, one day at a time. Just not today.

Until we meet again, Betti and Gabriella

Thank You

August 16, 2015

The family of Nellie Hay would like to express their thanks to friends and family for the kind expression of sympathy extended to them. It was such a comfort to know that our mother/grandmother had touched so many lives in her special way. A special thank you to Rev. LeAnn Blackert, your support and words helped us to cope at this sad time. A special thanks is also extended to Kamloops Funeral Home Staff for the kindness and ease you showed us at this time.

DO NOT STAND AT MY GRAVE & WEEP MARY FRYE (1932) Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there, I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glint on snow.

ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE DAY YOU WENT AWAY

Today’s the anniversary of the day that I lost you, And for a time it felt as though my life had ended too. But loss has taught me many things and now I face each day With hope and happy memories To help me on my way.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift, uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft starlight at night.

And though I’m full of sadness That you are no longer here, Your influence still guides me And I still feel you near.

Do not stand at my grave and weep.

Your memory will never die It lives within my heart, Bringing strength and comfort always While we are apart.

I am not there, I did not die!

I am not there, I do not sleep. Do not stand at my grave and cry.

Forever Loved and Missed Your Loving Family

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman

Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
