ELECTION 2017
Nederpel will run for NDP CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER

A health care worker and union leader will run for the NDP in Kamloops-North Thompson in next year’s provincial election. Barb Nederpel announced her candidacy yesterday during an event at McDonald Park. “Terry Lake broke his promise to provide everyone with a physician by 2015,” she told reporters. In 2013, Lake picked up more than 50 per cent of the popular vote in the riding, widely held to be a bellwether electoral area that predicts the wider provincial outcome. KamloopsNorth Thompson has traditionally been a swing riding and a rejigging of boundaries made it more favourable to the NDP. Lake, B.C.’s health minister, is expected to announce next month whether he will run for a third time or return to his position as a veterinary instructor at Thompson Rivers University.
Kamloops man makes cross-country trek taking in every show on Tragically Hip’s final tour ANDREA KLASSEN

W
hen Colin McGaffin looks back on the hundreds of kilometres of driving and 14 concerts along the way, it’s an early moment that stands out. The owner of Fresh is Best Salsa was in Victoria on July 22, waiting for Tragically Hip lead singer Gord Downie to come onstage for the first show of a monthlong Canadian tour. Months earlier, Downie had announced he’d been diagnosed with a terminal form of brain cancer. The 14 shows ahead of him could well be the band’s last. “At the very start of the tour, you didn’t know how Gord was going to look and sound and his energy levels,” McGaffin recalled. “It was kind of up in the air, so it was great to see that show and how great he sounded and how focused the whole band was. It was pretty special to see that right out of the gate.” For the next month McGaffin followed the band through four provinces and 10 cities, attending every

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW A beautiful, greasy jungle of people gathered to toast dying front man Gord Downie and the Tragically Hip one last time at Riverside Park on Saturday. The Hip’s final concert on its farewell Man Machine Poem tour was staged in the band’s hometown of Kingston, Ont., and CBC aired the captivating, gut-wrenching, breathtaking, emotion-filled swan song. Nearly 12 million viewers tuned in across the country, a few thousand of them watching, cheering, dancing, sweating and crying together in downtown Kamloops.
More Inside Turn to A13 for more on the Hip’s final show concert along the way. It’s a feat he’s not sure anyone else accomplished — while
he met other fans who scored tickets for multiple shows, McGaffin said there didn’t seem to be anyone else with his ambitious plans. So, what do you get out of 14 Tragically Hip shows? More music, for one.
“They’ve been playing so many different sets and so many different songs that you just wouldn’t see if you saw one or two shows. Seeing their whole catalogue of songs this trip has been pretty special,” he said.
While there have been emotional moments, McGaffin said they’re hard to pinpoint — a lyric, or even just a few notes in a familiar song. See NETWORK, A12

DAVE EAGLES/KTW This sign prohibiting non-members of the Tk’emlups Indian Band from a beach near the Red Bridge was recently re-erected, band councillor Jeanette Jules said, in reaction to bad behaviour on the part of partiers. Jules said the move was also to cover the band’s legal bases in the event of a potential lawsuit.
TIB bans non-members from beach Band councillor says move comes in wake of unsavoury behaviour by visitors ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Tk’emlups Indian Band is banning nonmembers from its beachfront property after what one councillor says is years of bad behaviour. Coun. Jeanette Jules said the band recently put back up a sign declaring a beach stretching between the Red Bridge and the Silver Sage trailer park off limits after it was knocked down more than a year ago.
Similar signs have been used along the riverfront at various times for more than 20 years, Jules said. “We’ve had numerous complaints from band members just on people being drunk down there. The RCMP have spoken to us about people being drunk down there,” she said. Jules said the band also has to deal with litter and needles being left behind by visitors, as well as other unsavoury behaviour.
“There are no bathrooms down there and there are people defecating all over the place,” she said. While Jules said there are likely some band members making trouble at the beach as well, she said most of the problems appear to stem from people coming in from outside the reserve. An employee in the nearby Mount Paul Industrial Park told KTW the beach has been the site for rowdy partying and drinking for years,
and it’s common to see the beach littered with empty beer cans and garbage. “They’ve ruined it for everyone else,” he said. Jules said because the Indian Act sets aside band lands for the sole use of members, it’s able to restrict access to the beach. The move helps to protect the band from potential lawsuits, she said, since the TIB’s lone bylaw officer can’t effectively monitor the riverfront on her own.
“If somebody gets hurt, their family or whoever’s going to be saying, Kamloops Indian Band, you’re liable for this and this and this,” she said. Jules said the band is working with the City of Kamloops on how to deal with its waterfront issues, and hopes to eventually establish some betterpatrolled park space on the river. She expects the issue to come up at band council meetings this fall. Should the TIB create a waterfront park, Jules said it would be open to all.

Judge tells teen next stop could be in a jail cell CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A 13-year-old who went from being a straight-A student and rep sports player to convictions for break and enter and assault is one step away from jail, a provincial court judge warned yesterday. Judge Chris Cleaveley sentenced the youth, who cannot be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, to a year of probation for an assault that was recorded by a friend and posted on social media. The teen also pleaded guilty to three breaches of court orders. Earlier this year he was sentenced to a period of probation for a break and enter at at liquor store. Crown lawyer Andrew Duncan said the youth and his friend went an acquaintance’s house on Feb. 11 this year. The youth egged his friend on, encouraging him to beat the acquaintance. When he hesitated, the
youth threatened, saying “I’ll give you 10 seconds to take a swing.” The youth then took over, administering a beating that was recorded by his friend on video. It was later posted on social media, allowing police to review the incident. “He knows the next step is custody,” said defence lawyer Michelle Stanford, noting he went from success in school and sports to experimenting with drugs and hanging out with 18-year-olds. His family also went through a recent break up. Both parents were present at the sentence hearing. Cleaveley warned the next step for the youth is jail. “I wouldn’t put a 13-yearold in jail but, at some point, you’ll force everyone’s hand,” he said. Terms of the probation include he attend school, perform 25 hours of community service and write letters of apology to his victim and the liquor store owner.

“I don’t expect Terry Lake to run,” Nederpel said in response to a question. Nederpel said she expects the electoral dynamic to be different than in 2013, when just three parties — Liberal, NDP and Conservative — nominated candidates in Kamloops-North Thompson. Lake defeated the NDP’s Kathy Kendall by 13 per cent. “It will be difficult to compare it to what happened last time,” Nederpel said, predicting the Greens and Conservatives, at the least, will also run candidates next year. Nederpel trained and worked as a licenced practical nurse at Royal Inland Hospital. She now works in the respiratory therapy clinic at RIH. She is vice-president of the Hospital Employees Union and president of Kamloops & District Labour Council.
Constituency representative Michael Crawford said a search committee spoke to a number of prospective candiNEDERPEL dates. Nederpel is approved by the party and the deadline for challengers closed last week. Nederpel took aim at polices instituted by the Liberals under Lake, including a shift to surgeries at private clinics and understaffing at longterm health care facilities. She said she will also focus on jobs and the economy, noting a young local couple — her own daughter, a pharmacy technician and her partner, an apprentice electrician — were forced to relocate to Squamish recently to find work. The NDP has yet to nominate a candidate in KamloopsSouth Thompson to face Liberal Todd Stone.
City planners looking at balance, parks and infill development ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A city of Kamloops planner said plans to revise the city’s official community plan (OCP) to focus more on infill in core neighbourhoods is seeing a lot of support from the public, but also concerns as to whether anyone will want to buy the kind of housing the city hopes to promote. Planner John Locke told Kamloops city council last week that staff’s Think BIG plan — which stands for “bal-
NOTICE
Lake not likely to run again in 2017, Nederpel says Liberal health minister has been elected to legislature twice
anced, infill, greenfill” — got strong support during a public comment period earlier this year. The OCP update would shift the city’s planned growth from southwest neighbourhoods including Aberdeen and Pineview to the city centre. Where a status quo option also tested by the planning department would have seen about half of the city’s growth over the next 20 years planned for the southwest and 11 per cent downtown and around the Tranquille Market, the BIG plan changes
that to 31 per cent in the southwest and 36 per cent in the core. “People liked the idea of urban densification, being able to live, work and play in their neighbourhood, with less reliance on the automobile,” Locke told council. But, he noted that even supporters of the plan raised some concerns, including the potential for increased noise and pollution from auto traffic as the result of a denser population. Locke said concerns about the availability of single-family homes and market demand
for the kind of multi-family housing required to infill the core were also raised. He said the plan won’t try to do away with single-family homes, but will encourage developers to build multifamily homes that are similar in size to those available downtown. “We’re not looking at building high rises here like Vancouver,” Locke said. Staff will spend the remainder of the summer and fall writing the first draft of the city’s new OCP, which will go to the public for more comment in early 2017.

Kamloops city council should get an update on the statuses of two vacant cityowned properties this fall. CAO David Trawin said after months of working with various provincial ministries, none of which initially claimed responsibility for dealing the now-closed Stuart Wood school, councillors have secured a meeting to talk about the heritage building’s future during this year’s Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in September. While the city technically owns the Seymour Street school, a century-old covenant on the building requires it to be used for educational purposes. If not, ownership returns to the province. School District 73 moved its students out of the school earlier this year, in favour of

there, it’s going to be difficult for council to do anything with it.” Thompson Rivers University looked at the school as a potential site for a downtown campus, but did not move ahead with plans. September will also see council get an update on the Kamloops Daily News building, Trawin said. Earlier this year the city put out a call for ideas for the building from private citizens, groups and developers, and has been working on one of the proposals behind the scenes. Details of the proposal have not been made public. The update will take place at an in-camera meeting — as is the case for other city realestate deals. Trawin said it’s not yet clear when council would make a final decision on the fate of the building, which it had hoped to see become an arts centre and parkade.

The hot pink stripe was for sexuality, the red for life, orange for healing, yellow for sunlight, green for nature, turquoise for magic and art, indigo/ blue for serenity and harmony and violet for spirit. The flag was the creation of San Francisco artist Gilbert Baker, who had been challenged to create a symbol of pride for the gay community by Harvey Milk, the first openly gay person to be elected to public office in California. Over time, the rainbow design has been simplified to six colours: Red, orange, yellow, green, blue and violet. It has become an international symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) pride and LGBTQ social movements. At the time when the first flag flew in the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade in 1978, it was a dangerous time to be an openly gay person. In many places, homosexuality was a criminal offence and homophobic violence was common, even tolerated and sometimes encouraged. When Harvey Milk was assassinated by another city supervisor, his killer was convicted of voluntary manslaughter, not first-degree murder. One effect of the outrage generated by that verdict was greatly increased demand for the rainbow flag. Over the years, the symbol has evolved into the creation of rainbow crosswalks, the first of which was seen in West Hollywood in 2012 and have become a common sight around the world. As events in the U.S. have recently demonstrated, there are still people capable of directing violence and hatred at the LGBTQ community. In the face of that, there is still a need for a symbol of peace, pride and acceptance. — Langley Times

B.C. fails to save the world
A
B.C. Liberal operative was out with the online spin hours before Premier Christy Clark confirmed the much-leaked news in a Friday afternoon announcement at an obscure location in Richmond. The, er, freeze is continuing for B.C.’s ground-breaking, worldsaving carbon tax, which hasn’t changed since before Clark was elected in 2013. The spin was Olympicthemed, with a picture labeled to show B.C. as a swimmer far out in the lead in the pool, to symbolize that it’s the other provinces that need to catch up in the race to save the planet. Clark has been saying that for years and there is merit to it. Even without a tax on “process emissions” such as from cement kilns, B.C.’s carbon tax encourages imports of non-taxed cement from the U.S. and China. Alberta business professor Andrew Leach, who advised the Stephen Harper and the Rachel Notley governments on greenhouse gas policies, summed up the problem this way. “Until the rest of the world has policies that impose similar cost, you’re not actually reducing emissions to the extent you think,” Leach said. “You’re just displacing the emissions and the economic activity to other jurisdictions.” Alberta is moving to join B.C. with a modest carbon tax, but the NDP government plans to spend the proceeds rather than return them in income tax as B.C. has done. And Washington state and

VICTORIA most of the rest of the world have no carbon tax as such, so their businesses benefit from B.C.’s “climate leadership.” B.C.’s foreign-funded ecoradical community was, needless to say, appalled. The Pembina Institute’s Matt Horne and career protesters Tzeporah Berman and Merran Smith were named to the premier’s advisory committee last year, along with business, academic and aboriginal representatives. They concluded that increases to B.C.’s broad-based tax on carbon fuels should resume its upward march in 2018. Other committee members, including the mayors of Surrey, Comox and Burns Lake, were not heard from. Public discussion on this issue is now reduced to a staged conflict between those who demand a holy war on deadly carbon dioxide “pollution,” and those who don’t care if their grandchildren perish in a hell-fire of fossil fuel use. We’ve just come off another El Nino year, like the hot year of 1998. Regular readers will recall
the last time I discussed this topic was this spring, where I questioned the premier’s dire warnings of another horrendous forest fire season. What followed has been one of the slowest forest fire seasons in the last decade, although dry conditions have finally emerged this month. Climate predictions, like next week’s weather forecast, are less than consistent. I am regularly sent messages calling me a “climate change denier,” the nonsense term that continues to be used by federal Environment Minister Catharine McKenna among many others. I know of no one who denies that climate is always changing, at times dramatically. If you wish to believe that paying an extra seven cents a litre for gasoline in B.C. is helping to slow the very gradual increase in temperatures we’re seeing in the northern hemisphere, you are free to do so. You may even be persuaded to take a government subsidy and buy an expensive, short-range electric car. Me, I’m off to Prince Rupert and Revelstoke pretty soon, so I’ll stick with my little four-cylinder gas sipper for now. Hydro-powered B.C. represents a small fraction of the less than two per cent Canada contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. We’re not the problem, and no, the world is not looking to us for guidance. Tom Fletcher is B.C. legislature reporter and columnist for Black Press. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR LEADERS SHOULD STOP DEFENDING PUBLIC HEALTH CARE DEFENDING PAY, START FROM PRIVATE INSURANCE THREAT PROVING THEIR WORTH Editor: Re: KTW, Aug. 18: (Board chair defends IHA executive pay): It would be wonderful to read that, instead of defending executive pay, Malzer and his buddies would instead celebrate what executives have done in the way of efficiencies instead of telling us what they do, like attend meetings where, as we all know, little is accomplished. The provincial government provides pay guidelines in this area which is an open invitation to boards to exercise compensations without telling us what difference they have made. For example, what is the board and province doing to bring a radiation department to our city so that many of our ill citizens in Kamloops and surrounding areas do not have to make the drive to Kelowna day after day for weeks, in all kinds of weather and with severe personal health conditions? What do the pay raises do to increase beds for our hospital? As well, here is another institution, like our city, that looks across Canada or at other munici-
palities to justify its decisions, as in pay raises. So we can justify pay increases because others are doing it, even if other institutions are inefficient? It’s a stupid statement to make from a board chair. He knows as well as we do that we are tired of such spins away from responsibility. Malzer’s picture shows a man smiling and why not? Once again our trusted leaders have or are trying to pull the wool over our eyes. All of us need to stand up and reject the spins from our politicians and other government institution leaders. If private industry tried to do this dance, we would come down on them with all the will we could muster. If Malzer and his cushioned staff cannot give us a supporting list of their successes and efficiencies for the dollar spent keeping them at their jobs or on the board then they need to quit or retire, leaving us with hope we can have others fill their positions demonstrating quality leadership with a good return on our investment. Dennis Paget Kamloops
Editor: This month in New Brunswick a private insurance company denied a nine-year-old boy extended health coverage because of his “build.” Fortunately in Canada, private insurance companies don’t get to decide who gets basic health care coverage. Everyone is covered by public insurance — regardless of age, health standing or income — and can get necessary care. Cambie Surgeries CEO Brian Day wants to change that.
He’s leading a lawsuit against our public health-care system in an effort to bring U.S.-style care to Canada. If Day wins, private insurance companies will be allowed to offer coverage — and deny it — for necessary care in Canada. The N.B. nine-yearold’s mother, Josée Doiron, says she’s now worried about the cost of dental work and glasses for her son. That’s bad enough. Imagine if she also had to worry about paying for basic care — like visits to the doctor, or the
emergency room. That isn’t what we want for Canada. The BC Health Coalition is intervening in the Cambie lawsuit trial this September because we don’t want predatory insurance companies making decisions about who gets health care. We’ll be doing everything we can to defend care for all, not just a privileged few. Join us at savemedicare.ca. Edith MacHattie BC Health Coalition co-chair

Police had ‘tunnel vision,’ lawyer argues to judge Steven Bartkowski is facing seven weapons-related charges CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The lawyer defending a man on trial for weapons charges said police are guilty of “investigative tunnel vision” linking him to a rifle and pistol found in a North Kamloops home. Steven Bartkowski, 45, is on trial in B.C. Supreme Court on seven weapons-related charges, including possession of a restricted firearm and possessing a weapon obtained through an offence. Acting on a tip about a midlevel trafficking operation, RCMP raided a basement suite on Chestnut Avenue in March 2014. “They were dispirited with
finding a minuscule amount of drugs and no cash,” said defence lawyer Don Campbell. “What they did find is drugs consistent with someone using, or low-level trafficking.” While police found only trace amounts of drugs — and the Crown stayed drug charges Friday — they did seize a sawnoff rifle and pistol found in a duffle bag in a furnace area. Ease of access to the area by visitors and upstairs tenants is a central issue in the trial. Crown lawyer Adrienne Murphy acknowledged at the beginning of the trial the case against Bartkowski is circumstantial. There are no witnesses saying he had guns nor fingerprints on the weapons.
“They [RCMP] ignored evidence of others having access,” Campbell said in his closing argument. Justice Keith Bracken is expected to reserve a decision for a later date. RCMP also seized a Tasertype weapon, shaped like a set of brass knuckles, from the house. Bartkowski was one of three men charged following the 2002 slaying of Noel Thibault, whose charred remains were found in a vehicle abandoned at a gravel pit just outside Victoria. Originally convicted of firstdegree murder, he successfully appealed and was eventually handed a nine-year sentence for manslaughter.

No injuries after fire guts Westsyde home ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kamloops Fire Rescue crews were mopping up after flames tore through a home in Westsyde on Friday afternoon. Firefighters were called to the Karindale Road home just after 2:30 p.m. and found it fully engulfed. A neighbour told KTW the fire spread fast. He said he heard a boom, saw flames and called 911. KFR acting captain Dan Funk said a fire inspector will assess the scene and determine how the fire started. “He’ll be talking with the neighbour and the homeowner and any witnesses to find out what may have caused this fire,” Funk said, noting the blaze appears to have
started near the front of the house and worked its way back and up into the attic. He said the damage is significant. “It’s fairly extensive,” he said. “There’s a lot of damage — smoke damage down and up and a lot of fire damage to the upper ceiling, attic, roof.” No one was home when the fire started but Funk said a family pet did not survive the blaze. “All that was found was, unfortunately, one dog did not make it,” he said. “Firefighters tried to resuscitate the dog with no luck, unfortunately.” Funk said a city inspector will determine at a later date whether the home can be salvaged. The investigation into the cause of the fire is ongoing.

Investigators believe the man, whose age and identity have not been made public, met the woman online using an alias. He is alleged to have travelled to

Downie calls out to Trudeau and highlights the North in final show DAVID FRIEND
THE CANADIAN PRESS
KINGSTON, Ont. — Like a shooting star streaking across the Canadian sky, Gord Downie gave the country one exuberant burst of energy before bowing out. With a delirious sold-out crowd at the Rogers K-Rock Centre in Kingston, Ont., hanging on his every word — and countless more fans watching on TV at home or at public screenings — the Tragically Hip frontman delivered what many fear was his final performance. While the band was careful not to definitively say their now-concluded Man Machine Poem tour would be their last, the recent revelation that Downie is battling terminal brain cancer gave the hometown Kingston concert an aura that was both celebratory and sombre. Downie, who exuded manic energy throughout the nearly three-hour-long, 30-song concert, poured his heart into the unforgettable live show while paying tribute to fans who encouraged him on. “Thank you, people, for keeping me pushing and keeping me pushing,’’ he told the audience, dressed in one of the sparkling metallic leather suits now forever linked to the tour. The crowd responded with a chant of “Gordie!’’ It was one of countless moments throughout the sweltering evening when Downie seemed to feed off the energy and gratitude of his emotional fans, who often fought back tears. Some came dressed in Hipthemed hockey jerseys, while others mimicked Downie’s new look with their own variations on his shiny suits, feathered hats and prints of the Jaws t-shirt he wears on stage. Before the Hip took the stage, the crowd ushered in

their performance with an impromptu rendition of O Canada. Moments after cameras witnessed Downie hugging and kissing his bandmates backstage, the group launched into Fifty Mission Cap, followed by Courage (for Hugh MacLennan), Wheat Kings and At the Hundredth Meridian, all off the album Fully Completely. The Hip then covered all the bases, playing songs from their latest album, Man Machine Poem, and fan favourites from Music @ Work, Road Apples, Phantom Power, Up To Here, Day For Night and Trouble at the Henhouse. Fans ate up every musical morsel, singing along to each track and throwing their hands in the air to emphasize all the right moments. At other times, the energy would ease off a bit and some

in the crowd would go silent, staring blankly at the stage — perhaps absorbing the likelihood they were witnessing the grand finale of the Hip’s storied musical journey. Usually a man of few words, Downie used the national platform of the televised concert to campaign for Canada’s North. He twice praised Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who was in attendance. “Thank you to the prime minister for coming to our show, it really means a lot to all of us,’’ said Downie, who was pictured by Trudeau’s photographer before the concert embracing the prime minister. “We’re in good hands, folks, real good hands. He cares about the people way up North, that we were trained our entire lives to ignore, trained our entire lives to hear
not a word of what’s going on up there. And what’s going on up there ain’t good.’’ He added: “It’s maybe worse than it’s ever been, so it’s not on the improve. [But] we’re going to get it fixed and we got the guy to do it, to start, to help.’’ Downie took other breaks to show his lighter side. He extinguished a debate that has raged between Hip fans this tour by revealing that the scarf adorning his neck for most of the evening was actually two colourful socks linked together. “A singer needs to keep his or her voice always warm,’’ he said, briefly undoing the sock to reveal its heel before tying it back onto his neck. Downie also recalled the band’s humble beginnings on the streets near the arena. He joked about how they struggled early on, but also how they appreciated the support of their female fans, in particular. Saying goodbye for the first time, Downie left the stage with brief acknowledgment of the artificiality of inevitable encore performances. Still, he played along and waited for the crowd to cheer him back for three more songs. He made the crowd work a little harder for the second encore and, by the third one, the audience’s cheers for more reached a new peak as people banged the arena seats and chanted his name. Downie closed the show out with their biggest hit, Ahead by a Century. The band — rounded out by guitarists Rob Baker and Paul Langlois, bassist Gord Sinclair and drummer Johnny Fay — put down their instruments, stood arm-in-arm as the crowd screamed their goodbyes, and then walked off stage for good. According to CBC, 11.7 million Canadians tuned in to the three-hour broadcast of Saturday’s concert.

Too low a price leaves thousands of dollars on the table, and too high a price scares away buyers and leaves your home on the market for too long. Bring your questions, and let’s chat about pricing your home in Kamloops.

economist, said “home sales continued to trend lower while price gains further accelerated in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. “This suggests that sales are being reined in by a lack of inventory and a further deterioration in affordability. “The new 15 per cent property transfer tax on Metro Vancouver home purchases by foreign buyers took effect on August 2, so it will take some time before the effect of the new tax on sales and prices can be observed. That said, the new tax will do little in the short term to increase the supply of homes.”

and 28.8 per cent respectively. Accordingly, much of the national sales decline in recent months reflects slowing activity in B.C.’s Lower Mainland. “National sales and price trends continue to be heavily influenced by a handful of places in Ontario and British Columbia and mask significant variations in local housing market trends and conditions across Canada,” said CREA president Cliff Iverson. “All real estate is local and realtors remain your best source for information about sales, listing and price trends where you live or might like to in the future.” Gregory Klump, CREA’s chief

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

OTTAWA — The controversy surrounding health minister Jane Philpott’s travel expenses grew yesterday as evidence surfaced she billed taxpayers $520 for access to Air Canada’s executive airport lounges in North America and Europe. The Opposition Conservatives, who produced a receipt for her lounge membership, said she should repay the money. “This trend of excess and entitlement on the part of this minister and the government basically is continuing,’’ Conservative health critic Colin Carrie said. “It is another example of the minister’s lack of judgment and disrespect for the Canadian taxpayer.’’ Aaron Wudrick, the federal director of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, also called for a refund.
“
We are not asking ministers to bring bag lunches but these kinds of expenses, they’re really not necessary.
”
— CHARLIE ANGUS, NDP MP
JANE PHILPOTT: Federal health minister accused of faulty expenses.
“The things that are reasonable expenses are things that are directly related to their job,’’ he said. “I cannot see what the possible connection would be between her needing lounge access and ability to do her job.’’ Philpott’s office has not immediately responded to a request for comment. Last week, Philpott said she would repay $3,700 in high-end car
service costs after it was revealed she billed $1,700 on one day and more than $1,900 on another day. The minister’s department is also reviewing 20 trips to Toronto Pearson International Airport that cost a total of $3,815 to see if taxpayers were charged fairmarket value. The car service — used to take the minister between work events — was provided by a limo company owned by a volunteer who canvassed for Philpott in the last election. NDP MP Charlie
Angus said he is concerned about what could be a pattern of entitlement. “It is still early days, so we have to see whether these patterns are going to form into something,’’ Angus said. “What concerns me is this sense of entitlement right off the bat. “She doesn’t have access to the executive lounge so taxpayers should pay the $500 so she can go sit and have a free drink and get . . . taco chips. I think that attitude is of concern and it raises red flags.’’ Angus said he is also concerned about
the overall handling of the issue by the prime minister. “He said they were going to do government differently,’’ he said. “We are not asking ministers to bring bag lunches but these kinds of expenses, they’re really not necessary.’’ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made his first public remarks about the spending controversy in Sudbury, Ont. yesterday. “This situation was a reminder for all of us to be extremely careful about our expenses and about the public trust that we wield,” Trudeau said, standing in front of his cabinet including Philpott. Wudrick said his watchdog group welcomes the prime minister’s statement, but he said “talk is cheap” and words need to be followed by action. — The Canadian Press

Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes With your supervision your child can wash, peel and grate the carrot and attempt a fine dice with the onions too. Remind your child to set a damp tea towel beneath the cutting board to prevent it from slipping on the counter. Preheat oven to 180 C (350 F) and spray 2 foil-lined baking trays with canola oil. Divide meat mixture in half. Form each half into a big flat patty about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick and place one on each tray. Press a knife into each patty to form a 6-by-6 grid that makes 36 2.5-cm (1-inch) squares, but don’t cut all the way through Bake until a digital thermometer inserted at the centre of the meat reads 71 C (160 F), 15 to 20 minutes. (Meat may look cooked, but that doesn’t mean all bacteria are killed. Use a digital thermometer to check for doneness.) Let cool. Meatballs will break apart easily. Makes 72. Meatballs can be tucked away in the freezer and used in soups, subs, pizza toppings, pasta dishes, on skewers with chunks of pineapple and served with barbecue sauce. — The Canadian Press

Tips for parents looking to help support school activities September means back to school for families across Canada, and new and exciting extra-curricular activities for kids. Unfortunately, the fundraising landscape for schools is tough and securing the cash to keep programs going is not always straightforward. But there are ways to help. “Parents are a fantastic resource when it comes to supporting fundraising initiatives,” says Sherrie Mae Guthrie, educator and blogger. “No one is more invested in their kids’ activities, and by joining their school’s fundraising board, parents can play an active role in securing the necessary funds to keep programs going.” Guthrie recommends three kinds of initiatives parents can suggest to help raise funds for their school: • Tried and true: Tired of the traditional pancake breakfast or bake sale? To up the ante, approach local coffee shops to donate carafes of coffee to increase income. • Physical literacy: Get your heart rate up to raise funds for sports. An assembly hall or empty classroom makes the perfect place for a sponsored Zumbathon or dance-off, provided you can persuade your kids to let you dust off your best Macarena. • Fundraising 2.0: Be brand savvy — a range of partnerships are open to

schools, including the Buick Drive for Your Students program which offers Canadian high schools the opportunity to raise a significant amount of money. Schools simply register to become partnered with their local dealership to host a test drive event. For every test drive, Buick donates $10; if an event exceeds 100 test drives, the amount will be doubled to $20 up to a maximum of $10,000. Contact your child’s school to find out how you can make a real impact by joining fundraising efforts for the new school year. — newscanada.com

Everyone recognizes your ambition this week, Aries. Channel your energy constructively and don’t be ashamed to pursue your goals so strongly.
Taurus, tackle some slow and steady work this week rather than trying to be innovative or unique. There will be a time to innovate later on. Right now you need to prove yourself.
Libra, things have been going your way for some time now. It’s exciting waiting for whatever is just around the corner. This unanticipated good fortune is just what you need.
Open yourself up to a new way of thinking, Scorpio. While your way of doing things may be right most of the time, adopting a fresh perspective may help you see things more clearly.

Gemini, you are in the mood to get started on something new over the next few days. Think about some tasks you have been putting off and develop a plan to address them.
Cancer, take an intellectual approach to solving a problem that has been bothering you for quite some time. Ask a friend for advice if you find you need some help.
Leo, approaching someone who has not done his or her share of the work can be difficult. Tread gently because this person may have been distracted by something more pressing.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22
Your big ideas are highly valued,Virgo. Let others know what you are thinking and you may find that even more people are receptive to your ideas than you initially thought.
Sagittarius, try doing something on the spur of the moment. Spotaneity may give you a rush that you may not have felt in some time. This could be just the excitement you need right now.
Try to meet some new people, Capricorn. Add to your collection of networking contacts, which will help further both your professional and personal lives.
Aquarius, relax when a stressful situation presents itself. Add some humor to the situation so you and others can handle it in the most positive way possible.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20
Pisces, if others are uninterested in being social, find creative ways to enjoy some alone time. This may include music or artwork.

Earls experiment tip of the iceberg

”
JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
A
restaurant chain testing a bold new tipping policy says it’s not coming to Kamloops — but a local chef thinks the system is in need of an overhaul. “The server-to-kitchen split should definitely be more to the kitchen,” the local chef with more than 20 years experience told KTW on the condition of anonymity. Earls introduced a 16 per cent hospitality fee at Earls.67, a Calgary location used as the testing ground for the franchise. The fee applies to all tables and is charged to customers in lieu of tipping. Unlike tipping, where the money largely goes into the pockets of servers, the money is split between restaurant staff. Craig Blize, vice-president of operations for Earls, said the company came up with the experiment about two years ago as a way to make pay more fair. “We’re testing the no-tipping living wage program in that location only and whether we move forward with that should we do new concepts, we’ll find out in about six months when we get the results back in,” Cate Simpson, spokesperson for Earls head office in Vancouver, told KTW. While the policy will not land in Kamloops anytime soon, KTW caught up with industry locals to discuss the discretionary act heavily impacting their wallets. Tips are defined by some as meaning “to insure proper service” or “to improve proper service.” The basic premise is to give incentives to service providers while allowing consumers the guilt-free experience of ordering four glasses of water, ketchup and hot sauce one at a time. The local chef who chatted with KTW said the money servers take home is disproportionate to that of chefs. Working nights when liquor sales rack bills into the $200-range, he noted, servers can make $40 or $50 a table. Multiply that by 10 or so depending on the night, he said, and tips add up quickly.

Getting Schooled in Education Savings Plans
Because students often have little to no income, plus the availability of tuition and education income tax credits generally little to no tax is payable.
road. In order to qualify as a family plan, the children (beneficiaries) must all be related to the parents.
Growing up in a house where our parents were a school principal and teacher-librarian, we learned the value of education at a young age. We also learned the value of a good report card! Now that we have kids, we were keen to start saving for their education at a young age to help them realize their career aspirations when they grow up.
2. Free money! Not many things in life are free anymore, but our government supports education and will provide a grant of 20% to a limit of $500 per year and to a lifetime maximum grant of $7,200 per child until they turn 18 years of age. This means if you save $2,500 a year, you will maximize the grant and the government will contribute $500. The government provides an additional grant for families with lower net incomes.
Registered Education Savings Plans (RESPs) are a great tool to help fund post-secondary education for kids and grandkids. This is good news because according to TD Economics, the estimated future cost of a degree in 2027 is $102,000, and continues to grow three to five times faster than the rate of inflation!
Want to stretch things out further? The new Canada Child Benefit provides families an average of $2,300 a year. If you were to invest that into an RESP and receive the $460 grant from birth up to the age your child turns 18 and invested the proceeds at 5%, you will have $64,704 in education savings… without investing a dime of your own money!
RESPs have evolved over the years and offer greater flexibility nowadays. For example, post-secondary programs in Canada of at least three consecutive weeks can qualify. 1. Individual Plans versus Family Plans: In general, a family plan is more flexible than an individual plan. You have the ability to allocate your education savings across multiple children in a family plan, where as an individual plan is literally only for one child. There is no risk to opening a family plan in consideration of extra children down the
3. Tax Efficient: When you withdraw from an RESP for educational purposes, there are two portions or buckets to draw from. 1. Your original contributions or Post-Secondary Education Payments (PSE) 2. The accumulated income, grants and growth on all assets, also called Education Assistance Payment (EAP)
4. What if they don't go to school? With a family plan, funds can be redirected to another child attending school. Your son or daughter also has up to age 35 to draw down their RESP. Lastly, should they decide not to go to school, you can get your money out, less the provided grants and growth on the grant with some tax implications. 5. For grandparents and family: If you are wanting to help out grandkids, nieces, nephews etc. we recommend your first step be talking to the parents to see if they have an RESP setup, then you can decide who will open the account and who can help fund the account. Multiple RESP accounts for the same children are not recommended as they do not receive any additional grant, but can lead to complications and over-contributing. Given the many benefits of RESPs, we feel they are a great tool to help provide your kids or grandkids with an education. There are a few intricacies to RESPs which is why we encourage you to talk to an advisor to ensure you are getting the most out of your personal circumstance. Until next time…Invest Well. Live Well. "How is my education fund doing?"
No need to worry on tracking as this is done by your RESP provider. When you withdraw your original contributions (PSE), there are no tax implications as you are literally taking your own money out. The growth and grant portion (EAP) is taxed in the beneficiary's hands (your child).

Chef wants bigger cut of tip pool:‘It’s completely unfair’ From A29
“You’re walking away with $400, $500, so it’s insane. And then the kitchen might get tipped out $50 to split between four, five guys and that’s $10 per guy in the kitchen,” he said. When KTW asked the local Earls about its tipping policy, it was deferred to head office, but a former staffer told KTW she tipped out 4.75 per cent of total sales to bartenders, kitchen staff, hostesses, leaders and managers. She said they were required to pay it regardless of whether or not they received a tip.
At other restaurants, servers tip out as low as three per cent while automatic gratuity is sometimes utilized for parties of eight or more, guaranteeing a server won’t get snubbed on a timeconsuming table. When asked about hourly wage comparisons, the chef acknowledged servers make minimum wage compared to $15 to $20 as a cook. While he’d rather not see an automatic tip charged to the customer, like at Earls.67, he’d prefer team equality and a bigger cut of the tip pool, even if it means reducing his wage to match
that of servers. “I chose my profession, I can’t bitch about it, but I think it’s wrong,” he said. “It’s completely unfair.” — With files from The Canadian Press
Who gets tipped?
You might notice tip options when buying takeout or paying for a sandwich with plastic at a local Subway. Do you leave a tip? “We’ve got great staff and they deserve every penny of the tips they get,” said Grayden Flanagan, owner of nine Subway restaurants in the area. Flanagan likened the point-of-sale
option to having a tip jar and said most customers give $1, not as much as they would at a traditional sit-down, full-service restaurant. Flanagan said 100 per cent of tips collected go to staff, who pool and split them based on hours. “I think it’s a great option to have,” Flanagan said. “In our case, the person is serving them usually all the way through the process.”

cash straight to kitchen staff. “That’s the two things you’re going in for, food and service,” he said. So, what goes into his evaluation? “Were they [server] happy?” he said. “Did they smile? Did you have to wait a long time? Did they take your order down properly and did the food come out hot? Was your steak done how you ordered it? You know, just all of the above.” He recommends tipping 10 to 20 per cent, but said tipping nothing is acceptable for “terrible” experiences.

The B.C. government is hearing objections from businesses and individuals faced with increasing Canada Pension Plan contributions in the coming years, and is the last province needed to ratify the increase. Instead of joining other provinces in meeting the federal government’s July deadline to adopt the change, the B.C. government launched a consultation phase expected to run through August. And they are getting pushback on a plan that would increase payroll deductions and employer contributions starting in 2019. Jordan Bateman, B.C. director of the Canadian Taxpayers’ Federation, said he’s receiving hundreds of responses to his call to supporters to make their views known to the B.C. government. Most concerned are employers who would pay higher contributions for each of their employees. Employer and employee contributions are to go up from the current 4.95 per cent of earnings to 5.95 per

cent by 2023. For each employee earning $54,900, the employer contribution goes up $7 to $8 per month in each of the first five years of the phase-in. “Obviously, lots of people are concerned about having to pay more,” Bateman said. “But the interesting ones are the small business owners who talk about just how close to the edge they are financially.” B.C. Finance Minister Mike de Jong joined other provinces in agreeing in principle to the expansion in June. Federal Finance Minister Bill Morneau said he is concerned about the decline in workplace pension plans and wants the CPP to move from replacing one quarter of employment income to one third by 2025. The Canadian Federation
of Independent Business surveyed its members nationwide when the CPP plan was announced. More than 80 per cent wanted consultation and a delay of implementation. Morneau has indicated he plans to table legislation this fall. B.C.’s refusal to sign on could derail the federal plan, but it shows little intention of doing so. “British Columbia is committed to engaging with stakeholders in advance of ratifying the agreement in principle,” said the statement from de Jong’s office announcing the consultation. B.C. residents can find more information on the consultation at the website engage.gov. bc.ca/canadapensionplan/ or have their say by email at citizenengagement@gov.bc.ca.

Only Catharine Pendrel knows how good this moment felt. The mountain biker from Kamloops courageously recovered from an early crash to win bronze for Canada at the Olympic Summer Games in Rio on Saturday.
Heart, guts, glory, bronze ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
I
t would have been easy to count her out. When an early crash sent Kamloops’ Catharine Pendrel to the ground on Saturday morning in Rio de Janeiro, it looked like disaster for the Canadian cross-country mountain biker. The mishap relegated the three-time Olympian and Canadian medal hopeful to the back of the 29-woman field. A medal appeared all but out of reach. It would have been a disappointment reminiscent of the 2012 Olympics, which the 35-year-old led for much of the race,
only to finish ninth. Pendrel had come into Rio more focused than ever, but trying to have more fun. She was avoiding putting unnecessary pressure on herself. Instead, the race inserted the pressure — but rather than crumble, Pendrel got to work. The native of Fredericton pushed on after the crash, climbing from 17th to 14th. Somewhere between the first and third laps of Rio’s five-kilometre course, she moved into 12th. By the midway point of the race she had worked her way into the top 10. When she crossed the finish line one hour, 31 minutes and 41 seconds later, she looked exhausted. Sweat dripped from her nose as she answered questions in the near-40-degree heat.
But it didn’t matter — she was an Olympic bronze medallist. “I didn’t know if it would actually happen and I’m so excited that it did,” Pendrel told CBC after the race. Her time trailed winner Jenny Rissveds of Sweden (1:30:15) and Maja Włoszczowskaka of Poland (1:30:52). “There were so many moments in the race where I wasn’t sure how it was going to turn out and it did. I’m excited and I’m going to celebrate.” Pendrel wasn’t alone in her uncertainty on race day. At Reservoir Coffee in Kamloops, more than 50 of her friends and fans gathered Saturday morning to watch the event unfold live. The coffee shop was filled with excitement, its doors opening early so spec-
tators in their Canadian red and white could fill up on coffee and breakfast before the start of the race. Some showed up in bike shorts, having pedalled their way to the viewing party in an appropriate show of solidarity. Others wore shirts representing the biking community or Canada. One read, “Ride hard. Smile often.” Another, “Gold Canada Gold.” Behind the till, one of the servers wore a shirt emblazoned with “The Tragically Hip,” a sign of the other event that would captivate Canada on Saturday. “There she is!” cries erupted, as Pendrel first appeared on screen, exiting the starting gate in her first lap.

ed after the crash, some turned to their conversations with friends or taking care of kids. The group watched, but Pendrel made few appearances on screen. Despite the volume
of the television nearing its maximum, if there was any mention of the local racer, it was drowned out in the din. Most were unawares as Pendrel made her push. Jaws dropped
and the room erupted when, by the third lap, the Kamloops racer’s name appeared on screen with a No. 8 beside it. She was seventh with two and a half laps remaining, fourth after four circuits. By the midway point in the second-last lap, Pendrel had made her way onto the podium,

a position she would never relinquish. “I don’t even know what to say right now. It’s amazing. Catharine is so strong, she’s just such a fighter,” said Jayne Rossworn, a longtime friend who watched every moment Saturday. “Everyone was feeling a little bit worried for her, but we saw her fight her way back. Man, it was so exciting. “I think very few people in the world could do that.” Smiles and nervous laughter filled the room in the final moments of the race. Pendrel’s Canadian teammate Emily Batty took a stab at overtaking Pendrel in the final turns of the race, but came up short. Pendrel raised a fist in the air and smiled as she crossed the finish line. She said after the race that Rio didn’t feel like redemption for the London Olympics. It was just another race she had focused on doing well in. As for coming from so far back, she said she had to change her mindset when faced with the early hurdle. “Typically, I’m not a good starter, so I just changed my mind to, ‘OK, this is a good thing. You’re used to coming from the back. Do what you do. Maybe the other girls started too hard and you’ll just catch up,’” Pendrel said.
“I was thinking to myself, ‘Oh my goodness, this is all worst-case scenario.’ But then it turned out great.” Across the nation, fans tuned in to watch Pendrel’s performance. Midway through the race, Catharine Pendrel was trending on Twitter. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was one of many who later took a moment to recognize her accomplishment. For Canada, the medal marked its 22nd of the games, the most the nation has ever had in a non-boycotted Olympics. It was the Maple Leaf’s first medal in the crosscountry mountain biking since Marie-Hélène Prémont captured silver in the Athens Olympics in 2004. After the race, some thoughts turned to legacy. A reporter prefaced a question by noting it would be Pendrel’s last Olympics, at which point the Kamloopsian cut her off. “Well, maybe?” Pendrel said. “People always try to count me out.” After Saturday’s performance in Brazil, it’s hard to imagine anyone ever counting her out again.
Welcome home Pendrel is expected to arrive at Kamloops Airport today at about 1:45 p.m.
Ortiz wins Sunshine Howling winds did not stop Brandon Ortiz from lighting up the Kamloops Golf and Country Club (KGCC) en route to victory at the Sunshine Open on Sunday. Winds were gusting up to 80 km/h when Ortiz shot a scintillating 31 on his first nine holes, the KGCC’s back nine, and fired a 68 to win the overall low gross tournament by three strokes. “It’s probably some of the best golf I’ve ever witnessed,” said Brice MacDermott, the club’s head pro and general manager. Ortiz, from Kelowna, and the rest of the field of about 180 dealt with temperatures nearing 40 C on Saturday. Jeff Foley shot 135 to claim the overall low net title. In the seniors’ division, KGCC member Tim Rodgers carded 141 to win the overall low gross championship. Dave Mitchell shot 133 to claim the overall low net title.

third-place clubs will duel in a one-game semifinal, with the winner advancing to the best-offive championship final against the No. 1 seed. B.C. has traditionally done well at the Minto, with the province advancing to the final each of the last five years, but falling each time to the club from Ontario. Hamer-Jackson and his team are looking to become the first team since 2010 to bring the title back to Canada’s westernmost province. Following the national championship, Hamer-Jackson will enter the drafts for both the professional National Lacrosse League and the amateur Western Lacrosse Association. But right now, he’s just making sure to make the most of his final opportunity to win the championship that has thus far eluded him. “I’m taking it all in,” he said. “I’ve talked to my buddies that are graduated out of this league and they tell me all the time, ‘It goes by too quickly and you’ve got to cherish it.’ That’s what I’m trying to do right now.” For updates on the Minto Cup, follow along with KTW throughout the week.

He arrived in Delta to play for the Islanders with a handful of familiar faces. The club went on to defeat the Salmonbellies in the BCJALL playoffs, before taking out the Coquitlam Adanacs in the championship final to win the province. Hamer-Jackson said it was of course satisfying to knock off his old club en route to a provincial title, but it’s not the overall goal of the season. “It felt good, but that’s not the ultimate goal this year,” he said. “That’s obviously the Minto Cup. “We’re not satisfied yet.” Delta opened the Minto Cup with a pair of losses, falling 13-5 to Calgary on Saturday and 10-9 to Orangeville on Sunday. Hamer-Jackson had four penalty minutes and won 17 of 39 faceoffs in the first two games. Coquitlam and Delta squared off yesterday after KTW’s press deadline. At the conclusion of roundrobin play, the second- and

Tyrell Hamer-Jackson of Kamloops is playing for the Delta Islanders this week at the Minto Cup, the men’s junior A national lacrosse championship.
Tyrell Hamer-Jackson wasn’t sure he would get another crack at the Minto Cup. The junior A men’s lacrosse championship in Canada, the Minto brings together league champions from across the country, with four clubs contending for the national title in Canada’s official sport. For the 21-year-old HamerJackson, 2016 is his second and final shot at a national title. The Kamloops product played for the New Westminster Salmonbellies in the 2013 championship, but lost a heartbreaker to the Whitby Warriors, three games to one in the final. Ever since, making it back to the Minto Cup for one last shot at becoming a national champion has been all Hamer-Jackson has wanted. “It’s unbelievable,” he said of returning to the Minto in his final season of junior lacrosse eligibility. “It’s honestly a dream come true because it’s the hardest trophy to win in lacrosse. That’s why you start playing when you’re younger — you want to win a Minto Cup.” The 2016 tournament includes the Calgary Mountaineers, the Coquitlam Adanacs, Ontario’s Orangeville Northmen and the B.C. Junior A Lacrosse League (BCJALL) champions and tournament hosts, Hamer-Jackson’s Delta Islanders. Action began on Saturday evening at the Langley Events Centre.

Sun blank winless Broncos Three second-half turnovers and an anemic offence led to the Kamloops Broncos’ demise in Kelowna on Saturday. The Okanagan Sun bested the Broncos 31-0 at the Apple Bowl to improve their record to 5-0 on the B.C. Football Conference (BCFC) campaign, while Kamloops dropped to 0-5. Okanagan led 10-0 at halftime before pulling away with 21 points in the third quarter. If Kamloops is going to sneak into the playoffs this season, it will likely have to catch the Vancouver Island Raiders, who hold the fourth and final playoff spot with a 2-3 record. The Nanaimo-based Raiders, who have already beaten the Broncos once this season, will play Kamloops on Saturday in the teams’ last meeting of the regular season. Game time is 7 p.m. at Hillside Stadium. The game this weekend will be held on the club’s first annual Emergency Services Appreciation Night, at which police officers, firefighters, St. John Ambulance volunteers and paramedics with professional identification get in for $2. The Westshore Rebels of Langford and the Langley Rams are tied for second in the BCFC with matching 4-1 records. The Valley Huskers of Chilliwack are in the basement with Kamloops at 0-5.

Margaret Gertrude (Marge) Schleppe August 27, 1927 - August 17, 2016
It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our dear Mother, Nana and Great Nana, Marge Schleppe on August 17, 2016 at the age of 88. Marge was predeceased by her loving husband Clement Schleppe in March of 2015. Marge is survived by her loving son’s David and Wayne Schleppe and daughters-in-law Shirley and Connie Schleppe. She will be sadly missed by her grandchildren Jason (Erin) Schleppe, Jennifer (Denny) Coates and Katie (T) Bains, great-grandchildren Ronin and Brooklyn Schleppe, Maycie and Pyper Coates and Carter Bains. Her days were always a little brighter when the children came to visit. She also leaves behind her cherished sister’s Dorothy Smith and Lydia Schraeder. In her younger years, Marge was an avid golfer, a beautiful seamstress, fantastic cook and homemaker, as well as a wonderful artist. Her beautiful oil paintings that adorn our walls, will forever keep her in our hearts. A very special thank you to the staff at Kamloops Senior’s Village, Residential Care Unit, 2nd Floor for their wonderful care and kindness. You all made things a little easier for her and the family. A family gathering and interment of ashes will take place in Kelowna, at a later date.
Yesterday, you were here And today, you are gone. Our hearts are empty, But, your love will live on. BE AT PEACE MOM
Lottie belonged to the Retired Government Employee Association and the Ladies Moose Lodge. She also attended The Free Methodist Church. She loved music and singing, which were a big part of her life.

Lottie loved her family and friends dearly; she will be sadly missed by her son Ron (Helena) Leeking and daughter Brenda LeBlanc both of Kamloops, as well as her extended family Mary (Jim) Molnar of Trail, BC and Betty (Bill) Demesh of Medicine Hat, AB and all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by her loving husband Amsley Earl Baker, who passed away December 11, 1988, and her son-in-law Leonard LeBlanc and extended family Ida Patterson of Mackenzie, BC and Grace Adams of Prince George, BC.
You were an Angel to us all and will be sadly missed. What makes a Angel, I am sure that you know. It’s anyone whose heart is filled with love wherever you go. They never seek for themselves. But always help when you ask. It matters not what the favor They will gladly take on the task So don’t be afraid to talk to your Angel They’ll hear all that you say They smile and give you an Angel hug While all the time, for you, they pray! My Angel my Nana We love you and miss you, may God bless you and keep you in our hearts forever.
A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, August 25, 2016 at 11:00 am in the Schoening Funeral Chapel with Reverend Ray Parker officiating.

In her earlier years, during the war, Lottie worked at Otaco in Orillia, Ontario, making Mosquito Bomber parts. Lottie was a passionate person who loved to help others. She changed her career path going back to school to train as a nurse. Upon graduating in 1946 she became a psychiatric nurse, she worked at the Ontario hospital, in Orillia, Ontario until 1967 then the Tranquille Facility, in Kamloops till she retired in 1972.
Lottie will be missed by her dearest friends Debbie and Gerry Newman and also her church family at The Free Methodist Church. Everyone was drawn to Lottie’s positive attitude and the love she had for life. People were instantly drawn to her and would generally end up calling her Nana (She was everyone’s little Nana).

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

ies & In Memoriam
2nd Birthday
ESS ♥

Family owned & operated
I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny, This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story. He said when an angel misses you, They toss a penny down Sometimes just to cheer you up, Make a smile out of your frown So don’t pass by that penny, When you’re feeling blue It may be a penny from heaven That an angel tossed to you.
Pre-planning is a matter of taking the time to think about – and record – your end-of-life desires. It’s a thoughtful gesture to those you love, and a way to let go of anxieties about the future. Once done, you can relax, knowing your plans are in the hands of reliable friends or family.

OTHERS WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE By Joanetta Hendel, Indianapolis, Indiana
Others who have gone before Hold up my trembling hand. They comfort me in the blind despair I cannot understand. They suffer with me when I hurt, Weep with me in my pain, Remind me that we are not lost ... Though I must now remain. Those who’ve gone before me, Hear me when I cry. Sing softly with me soothing chords Of unsung lullabies. Mourn anniversaries never marked, A future I cannot keep. They gently kiss the pain away, And love my heart to sleep. The ones who’ve gone before me Hold me in my dreams. They gently stroke my furrowed brow, And calm my silent screams. They love me in my heartache, Wait quietly nearby., Hold patiently, one to another Till I join them by and by.
