Safe-injection site could open in Kamloops this year, IHA says Health authority working now to find suitable site for facility DALE BASS

Interior Health Authority hopes to open a safe-injection site in Kamloops before the end of the year. “Ideally, we would want that,” said Dr. Silvina Mema, an IHA medial health officer overseeing the project. First, a location is needed and work is being done now to identify it, she said. IHA is looking at a model that would see the clinic located in another location that already provides health and harm-reduction services to people using drugs, rather than creating a stand-alone site. It also plans to open one in Kelowna. “We have a limited number of options where we can put it,” she said. The next step would be to take the plan to

Mema said Kamloops has been a frontrunner in harm reduction, noting Royal Inland Hospital was the first to offer naloxone kits that could be used to reverse opioid-related overdoses. In the first six months of the year, Kamloops had 22 such deaths, three times the total for all of 2015. The IHA has predicted this year’s total could be six times the seven deaths last year. “It’s not going to be shocking to Kamloops, we would hope,” Mema said of the plan. See DOCTORS, A10

Bishop Joseph Nguyen is taking over the reins of the Kamloops diocese of the Roman Catholic Church at a ceremony today.

Nguyen ready for new role CAM FORTEMS

he new Bishop of Kamloops will be joined by several thousand people today at the Sandman Centre to celebrate his ordination as the head of the Roman Catholic diocese.

THE ORDINATION The ordination and installation of Bishop Joseph Nguyen is set for 3 p.m. to 5 p.m. today at Sandman Centre. Among several thousand people expected are 18 Roman Catholic bishops from Canada and the United States and 100 priests, including from North America and Vietnam. A mass will be held tomorrow at Sacred Heart Cathedral downtown.

Thirty years ago, Joseph Nguyen shared a different kind of room: with 150 other men in a Vietnam prison, surviving on two

bowls of rice a day. One bathroom and four litres of water — drink it, flush it or wash with it. After six months,

Nguyen could no longer walk. A Catholic bent on entering the priesthood since he was a child, he was an enemy of the state who tried and failed to flee the country as one of thousands of boat people in the 1980s. It was not his first brush with a Vietnamese communist government.

Kami Cabs driver stabbed by fare Police on the hunt for suspect, who was last seen running away from the scene CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A cabbie who was stabbed early yesterday morning and remains in serious condition at Royal Inland Hospital is a “polite professional” trained not to argue with fares, said the manager of Kami Cabs. RCMP are searching for a lone male suspect who fled after stabbing driver Cal Huntington, who last reported to dispatch after he picked up a fare at the Sahali Husky station. “We’re all really concerned for him,” said Satinder Mann, general manager of Kami Cabs Ltd. Mann, company representatives and drivers attempted to visit Huntington Wednesday but were unable to see

THE SUSPECT

This is the man police believe is responsible for stabbing Kami Cabs driver Cal Huntington early yesterday morning. These images come from surveillance footage at a Sahali gas station from which the suspect was picked up, investigators believe.

him because he was in the intensive-care unit. RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said Huntington’s status has improved and his injuries are no longer consider life-threatening. He remains in serious condition.

Police were called shortly before 2 a.m. to Pleasant Street and Eighth Avenue for a report of a cabbie who was stabbed delivering a fare. Kamloops RCMP’s serious crime unit has been called in for the investigation.

Police released an image from surveillance video taken at the Husky station. The suspect is described as a white male with a slender build and dark, short hair. He was clad in a dark hoodie with “Crooks and

Castles” written on the front. Mann said the company is in the midst of setting up fund-raising for Huntington but details are not yet in place. He said Huntington, who has driven for Kami Cabs since 2007, is a polite and professional driver who is well liked. He typically works an evening shift late into the morning hours. Mann, who has experience as a driver himself, said the incident has shaken the company and drivers. He said it may be time to look at measures including protective glass or cameras in cars. “Things change over time. We’re looking into it,” he said. “We do feel scared and concerned. But we train people and tell them not to argue or fight. . . . Your safety is first.”

Four years in prison for Jail and a fine for businessman who didn’t stabbing security guard? That’s what the Crown wants for attack on Walmart employee KAMLOOPS PROVINCIAL COURT

pay taxes, fled Canada CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

An oilfield consultant who evaded taxes and left the country to avoid punishment was led away in handcuffs from Kamloops provincial court. James Kennedy pleaded guilty in 2010 for failure to remit $65,000 in GST between 1996 and 2008 — an offence under the Excise Tax Act. His sentencing was originally set for May 2011 but he did not show up. A warrant was issued and he was eventually arrested earlier this year at Vancouver Airport, returning from a job overseas. At the completion of the hearing, provincial court Judge Roy Dickey sentenced Kennedy to 90 days jail

and a $49,000 fine — adopting the position of federal Crown prosecutor Anthony Varesi. Kennedy had previously told Dickey he thought the matter was cleared and he was free to travel on work. But Dickey said emails provided by Kennedy show his lawyer in 2011 informed him he had to be present for a sentencing hearing. Kennedy also made no effort to repay any of the $65,000 he collected in GST but did not remit to Canada Revenue Agency. He must repay that sum in addition to the fine. Paying of GST by business owners “requires individuals to be honest,” Dickey said, calling failure to do so a breach of trust.

A Crown lawyer argued Tuesday a three- to four-year jail sentence should be levied on an offender who stabbed a Walmart security guard, resulting in surgery and lingering psychological damage. Connor Dufresne pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and theft for an incident at the Kamloops Walmart on Nov. 9 last year. He was 19 at the time of the incident. Prosecutor Adrienne

Murphy said Dufresne was seen in the late afternoon on a security camera exhibiting suspicious behaviour as he walked the aisles. A loss-prevention worker, Robert Burt, began to follow him as Dufresne used a computer bag lifted from the shelves to conceal a number of items, including valuable headphones and tools. Dufresne then bolted out an emergency exit at the side of the store, followed by Burt. The loss-prevention worker yelled at Dufresne to stop, saying he was under arrest and trailed him at about 10 feet — following Walmart policy. “After that Mr. Burt can’t relate what happened,” Murphy told B.C. Supreme Court Justice Robert Sewell. “He was stabbed five times.” One of those stab wounds entered Burt’s chest, an estimated quarter-inch from his heart. He was also stabbed twice in the neck.

In a victim impact statement read in court, Burt said he suffers from anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder. The 37-year-old can no longer work as a loss-prevention officer, instead taking a lower paying job with Walmart. After stabbing Burt, Dufresne continued fleeing. He ran into a BC Hydro compound nearby and was arrested by police on the roadway. Murphy said Dufresne’s only statement of remorse was to police immediately after he was arrested, saying, “I’m an idiot. I warned him — that doesn’t justify it.” To a probation official, however, Dufresne said, “I told him [Burt] I had a knife. . . . Once he touched me, he was done.” Dufresne attempted a fraudulent return at Real Canadian Superstore and was also convicted on a number of breaches. This is his first

offence involving violence. Defence lawyer Eric Rines called his client a “street youth” who was addicted to drugs, including heroin and crystal meth, at a young age. He claimed to be high at the time of the stabbing but no evidence of that was offered. He has memory problems and an inability to follow rules. Dufresne did receive an honours graduation at Kamloops Street School, with high grades in math and science. Rines argued for a sentence between 18 months and three years. Dufresne is credited with serving 11 months in jail already. Murphy said probation officials have been disturbed by Dufresne’s comments that it wasn’t his fault and what they saw as his cheerful and glib manner. Dufresne will be sentenced at a later date.

TRU garden bench named for founding co-ordinator The horticulture gardens at Thompson Rivers University have new walls — and a new recognition. A bench near new retaining walls at the gardens, named in a 2014 Huffington Post story as one of the province’s best sites to hold a wedding, has been dedicated to former faculty member Steve Wong, who was a founding member of the university’s horticulture department. He was its co-ordinator from June 1982 to June 1993 and, at one time, was the only instructor. Wong left the institution more than two decades ago to work for the provincial agriculture ministry. He later worked with the City of Vancouver’s park board and as a landscape architect.

The walls were paid for partly through the university’s innovative sustainability grant fund, created to encourage faculty, staff and students WONG to work on sustainability on campus. They replace creosote ties and were designed to be more aesthetic and were made from sustainable materials.

Correction The Kamloops Astronomical Society’s Four Planets at Dusk viewing will be on Saturday, Aug. 27, at

Stake Lake Star Park, starting at 8 p.m. An incorrect date was published in Tuesday’s edition.

Monte Creek Ranch Winery is one step closer in its bid to create an outdoor amphitheatre on its site nine kilometres east of Kamloops. The winery’s project was back at the Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s board of directors meeting last week, seeking a zoning amendment that will be required before it can break ground on the amphitheatre. The amendment passed its first reading. There are still hurdles ahead for the project. The TNRD expressed concerns related to noise and light intrusion from an outdoor amphitheatre. Monte Creek has retained a Vancouver acoustics firm, BKL Consultants Ltd., to assist with an acoustic study and the amphitheatre design. The project must come back to the TNRD for second and third readings of the bylaw, as well as a public hearing — at which point the study results will be delivered — before it can proceed. Monte Creek general manager Erik Fisher told KTW he would ideally like to return to the board of directors meeting on Sept. 22. The winery — which has been owned by the Sidhu family since 2009 — first brought the amphitheatre to the TNRD in January, at which point the application was forwarded to the Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) for consideration. The application included plans for the amphitheatre, a commercial assembly area on the front lawn of the winery — intended to host weddings, parties and corporate events — overflow parking west of

Monte Creek Ranch Winery is eyeing an amphitheatre similar to this one in Niagara on the Lake, Ont.

the winery building and a separate restaurant. For the changes to take place, land had to be taken out of the Agricultural Land Reserve for non-farm use. The ALC approved plans for the amphitheatre, parking lot and assembly area, but not the restaurant. “We’re going to revisit it,” Fisher said. “We’ve got lots of long-term plans. It wasn’t necessarily part of our immediate plan. We were advised to think long-term throughout the application process. “The amphitheatre is where we’re looking to focus at this point.” The amphitheatre, which will be built into a naturally occurring depression south of the Monte Creek building, will have a south-facing bandshell and will make use of existing topography for acoustics, cutting seating for roughly 1,800

people into the surrounding slope. The proposed assembly area will have capacity for 143 people and would host a maximum of 40 weddings annually. The overflow parking will cover nearly 4,000 square metres. No fill or paving is to occur. Fisher said he doesn’t foresee any issues arising from the acoustic study. The amphitheatre will face away from the winery — Monte Creek owns 936 acres of uninhabited land in its southerly direction. “There’s absolutely no residents back there at all, whatsoever,” he said. “I just had a drone go up and fly over and you can’t see a shack. It’s all just barren forest land that we own. “So, I don’t suspect there’s going to be any issues with the acoustics, but they obvi-

ously want to make sure that it’s done properly and that it’s going to have the least amount of impact to neighbours as possible.” For its part, the TNRD has been on board with the project, assuming no red flags arise from the study. In her report to the board, Regina Sadilkova, the director of development services, recommended the project be approved. “While we anticipate that there will be concern/opposition from some of the area home owners, we submit that the order of magnitude [1,800 capacity theatre] is not excessive — subject to good acoustical design,” Sadilkova wrote. “Planning services believes that agriculture, winery and the proposed ancillary uses are an acceptable mix at this location and thus recommend this application.”

WHERE IS THE SENSE WHEN IT COMES TO CAMPFIRES? It truly boggles the mind that wildfire crews in British Columbia are having to deal with unattended campfires this summer. In the first week of July, officials at the Kamloops Fire Centre had to deal with 22 unattended campfires. Last month there was another weekend where the number of unattended campfires — those that campers have carelessly left to burn — was higher than 30 over a weekend. In the Alberni Valley, crews were called out to Stirling Arm Main to put out a bonfire that was approximately five metres by 15 metres in size, in a popular — wooded — party spot. And the fire burning on Comox Main this week has been deemed ‘human-caused,’ although the Coastal Fire Centre has not pinned down an exact reason. What is wrong with people? The province is lucky the weather has been wetter this year, but campers taking chances with their campfires shouldn’t think that luck is going Campers taking to hold — Environment Canada has issued a warning for inland portions chances with their of Vancouver Island and the southern campfires shouldn’t coast for soaring temperatures, and precipitation is nowhere to be seen in think that luck is the forecast. going to hold.

See an outer-space marvel

orty-seven years ago — give or take a few days — my parents gathered my sister and I around our oh-so-tiny black and white television set to watch history unfold. It was probably sometime after 9 a.m. when we sat down to watch the grainy images that were, for my generation, simply incomprehensible. A man was about to step onto the moon. Everyone I knew had been following the journey of Apollo 11 and its crew of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Buzz Aldrin from when they first launched on July 16 to entering the moon’s orbit three days later. We watched the lunar module Eagle land in the Sea of Tranquility and celebrated when Armstrong finally stepped onto the surface. To this day, I still marvel at that accomplishment, so news of the discovery of a planet finally being identified in a nearby solar system that could allow for liquid water to exist is simply thrilling. Proxima b is a rocky planet orbiting Proxima Centauri, a small star that is about four light years from the sun. Discoveries like this have always intrigued me. The idea of heading out into space isn’t something I’d want to try but the fact we can do it remains magical. Kamloopsians have a chance to see another outer-space marvel on the weekend as the Kamloops Astronomical Society

LEVEL sets up a telescope at Stake Lake Star Park to watch five planets become visible just after sunset on Saturday. Four — Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Mars — should be visible to the naked eye; a telescope should also bring Mercury into sight. Venus should come into sight first just after sunset near the western horizon and should be almost aligned with Jupiter; scientists expect the two will be only one-tenth of a degree apart as they create a planetary conjunction. Mercury will be nearby. Looking into the southern sky, Saturn and Mars should make their appearance, as well. Society members are welcoming the public to their observing site at the lake from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. The society promotes and studies astronomy and other related sciences and meets monthly, either at Thompson Rivers University on the second Wednesday of each month at 7 p.m., or, for viewing events, at Stake Lake. The society’s website itself

holds a wealth of information for the truly star-struck, from clear sky charts for the B.C. Interior to challenges one can take to find bright stars. There’s a wonderful photo gallery, all pictures taken by society members. They are pictures that can only fuel the wonderment of this type of exploration. Younger generations who have grown up with rockets flying off, photographing and taking samples at other planets, may not appreciate the science as much as my generation does, which is why the Kamloops society is so vital to the area. It’s filled with people who share that quest to see more and learn more outside our own home. And they help keep that dream alive. The Canadian Space Agency shares that dream and recently ran a recruitment campaign for new astronauts. It wrapped up on Aug. 15 and saw 3, 372 applications come from across the country. Most came from Ontario — 417 from Toronto alone — with 11 per cent of applications coming from B.C. Most of the applicants are male (2,311). Yesterday, those who have met the basic requirements would have received an invitation to take the public service entrance exam. Selection of the new astronauts would be made next summer, with them moving to Houston, Tex., to start NASA’s basic training — and to keep the dream alive. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

ON AJAX: LET’S GET THIS RIGHT Editor: We the citizens understand why we vote: To ensure heath, safety and successful day-to-day operations within our city — urban as well outlying areas. Hot off the press is outrage toward Coun. Denis Walsh’s concerns about the proposed Ajax mine, its location and many unanswered concerns Writing a letter to Premier Christy Clark asking her to suspend the permitting process for said mine is 100 per cent correct in my view. I have no title within government nor any political party of choice, but what I do have, as a citizen, is my right to petition. It is Walsh’s right as well. I wont try and comment for this present government, but will challenge Clark as well as minister Bill Bennett to meet with Walsh and the entire city council. Meet with our First Nations, families, ranchers, farmers and with many more. Lets get this right. Canada has been built by some very unselfish individuals who knew that, at times, drawing a line in the sand and holding the line meant hardship or worse. Walsh knew full well voices must be heard on this very important issue. Let’s get this right. Karl E Wolfe Kamloops

MORTGAGE MATTERS Renters!! Are you ready to buy? People rent for very good reasons, and you may have many of them...but have you ever wondered if you are ready to buy? Here are a few considerations to review when deciding if you are ready to buy. 1) The Rental Market – What are the rents projected to be in the near future, how much

are you paying compared to similar rental units, what could your rental dollar do if it was put toward a mortgage payment?

2) Employment – How safe is your employment, are you committed to the work force or considering school, is your income showing signs of stability/ increase/ or decrease, are you happy with your job? 3) Happiness – Is your current home meeting all your needs today, will your needs change in the near future, can your home suit your future needs? 4) Rate Trends – Low interest rates can mean your payment dollar can go further. Taking advantage of periods with low interest rates can put you in a higher value home for the same monthly payment as a less expensive house with a higher interest rate. What are the interest rates expected to do? 5) Inventory – Perhaps most importantly ... what is available for sale in your price range, in the neighbourhood you prefer and in the style of home that you desire? A premature step into something that is only second best for you and your family begs a “for sale sign” in your future. Get it right the first time. Shop the market and be prepared to take a break if what you see doesn’t make you happy. 6) Down Payment – Down payment is not always an obstacle if you are ready to buy. Some lenders will allow a borrowed down payment. However, in most cases, lenders like to see a 5% down payment and 1.5% closing costs. This can come from a gift from family, savings, RRSP withdrawal etc.

Doctors hope safe-injection site will decrease overdoses From A1

Mema said the clinics are part of the authority’s harmreduction strategy to try and combat the increasing numbers of overdose deaths. Once that step is complete, the health authority would apply for an exemption from restrictions in the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The federal health minister can do that if it is felt a site is necessary for a medical or scientific purpose or would be in the public interest. Dr. Ian Mitchell worked in the emergency room at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver when Insite opened in the Downtown Eastside. He said the number of overdoses treated at his hospital decreased significantly almost immediately. Mitchell, who now works in the ER at Royal Inland Hospital, said having a hygienic environment staffed with trained personnel — nurses, counsel-

The workers can see when someone is ready for it.” It benefits the community by reducing drug use in public and discarded needles. And trained staff could intervene if there was a medical emergency, including an overdose. “The research is strongly in favour of injection sites,” Mitchell said.

Research has also shown such sites don’t attract drug users into communities. The process would see the person bring pre-obtained drugs to the site, be assessed to ensure they are eligible for the program and, once approved, receive sterile injecting equipment and instruction on safer practices. The person would be supervised by a nurse as they inject the drugs. They would then move to a second room to be observed for negative reactions. That is also where they would receive information and referrals about health or other social supports in the city.

Catholic church in need of young families, Nguyen says Auto thief busted by new truck’s GPS unit New Kamloops bishop will oversee 57,000 parishoners B.C. SUPREME COURT

From A1

In 1975, government officials entered the Catholic seminary where he was living and told the group they had 24 hours to leave. For eight years he lived with other students in the bishop’s house, a compound that served as an unofficial sanctuary. Eventually the government forced all the Catholic students and officials out. Nguyen lived back home for a year, still not ordained as a priest, until he tried to flee Vietnam the first time, landing him in the brutal prison. Undaunted, after his release, Nguyen tried to leave Vietnam a second time aboard a boat in the Pacific Ocean. This time, after three days, he was intercepted by a German ship, which transported him and the others to safety in the Philippines. Nguyen was eventually sponsored in Canada by his brother. He arrived in Canada with nothing.

A farmer and painter with no grasp of the English language, Nguyen said his prospects to enter the seminary and become a priest in the Catholic church were bleak. He began to work with little thought of going into the priesthood. “I gave up,” he said. Nguyen’s father, however, reminded him of the Biblical story of Jonah and the whale. “The German ship was the whale,” Nguyen recalled his father’s words. “God took you to Canada and you have to do something for the Lord. He brought you there.” Today, Nguyen becomes the sixth Bishop of Kamloops. He replaces David Monroe, who served 14 years here before retiring at 75 — mandatory under Catholic laws — to church-appointed housing in the Lower Mainland. Most recently, Nguyen served in Vancouver as vicar general for the archdiocese of Vancouver. The Kamloops diocese is one

Sentencing delayed for young killer A sentencing hearing for a 24-year-old man convicted in June of first-degree murder has been delayed until January. Crown and defence lawyers were set to argue next month whether the offender, whose name cannot be made public because he was 16 years old at the time, should be sentenced in adult court. Crown lawyer Evan Goulet said court-ordered psychiatric reports will not be ready for the September date. A jury convicted the man of murdering a romantic rival in Salmon Arm on Nov. 21, 2008. Tyler Myers was found shot to death by RCMP in a school yard. A trial for the man’s co-accused, a woman who was 17 at the time Myers was killed, is scheduled to begin in November. RCMP used a Mr. Big sting to obtain a confession from the woman.

of six in B.C. and the Yukon. When he is installed and ordained here, Nguyen will be one of about 5,000 Roman Catholic bishops in the world. Nguyen will head a diocese with about 57,000 parishioners and 20 priests serving 67 communities in an area that stretches south from Quesnel to Merritt and from Whistler and Lillooet in the west to Sicamous in the east. In the coming weeks and months, he will pore over staffing, budgets and building details while ministering to the spiritual needs of the communities. Nguyen said his diocese reflects Canadian demographics of an aging society. Among his goals are to bring in more families and young people to the church, including into the priesthood. “We need to have young families,” he said. “That’s the challenge in Kamloops right now.”

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A couple who just brought home a new truck used a remotely operated GPS unit to help RCMP locate their stolen vehicle the next day. The truck was stolen by Jimmy Rossetti, who pleaded guilty in B.C. Supreme Court to break and enter, assault, driving while prohibited and possession of stolen property for a series of events in early January this year. The couple noticed their new pickup gone the morning after they brought it home. Crown lawyer Monica Fras said later that morning they learned how to trigger the remote GPS locator, leading police to Cottonwood Street. RCMP arrested Rossetti inside. He admitted to taking the vehicle in addition to breaking into a shed the same day. Confronted by the pursuing homeowner, he twice sprayed him with pepper spray. Rossetti has a long criminal record, including for convictions of violence and property offences.

Calling the break and enter and assault an “invasion,” Fras asked Justice Robert Sewell to sentence Rossetti to 18 to 22 months in jail. With credit for time served, Rossetti has spent an equivalent to 11 months in jail Defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen argued Rossetti should be given probation and sent to a residential drugtreatment centre in Prince George, with no further jail time. While he has served more than three years in jail on a previous sentence, Jensen said the earlier sentencing failed to address his background as an aboriginal offender. Rossetti told a court official his father encouraged him to drink beer from age six, using it to make him sleepy. All of his offending is drug-related. “Mr. Rossetti is an adult and makes decisions to take drugs,” Jensen said. “With his background, he didn’t have a choice in that.” Justice Sewell reserved his judgment to a later date.

West Kelowna evacuees allowed to return home

www.surplusherbys.com

WEST KELOWNA — Residents forced out of their homes by a wildfire west of Kelowna can now return. The Central Okanagan Regional District says the evacuation order has been lifted for 105 properties near the Bear Creek wildfire, about 10 kilometres north of West Kelowna. A news release issued by the regional district said Westside Road — the main link between West Kelowna and Vernon — is

also open once again, but Bear Creek Provincial Park remains closed until further notice. The regional district said smoke and flames may still be visible in the area and people returning may find hazards on their properties as a result of the fire. Rachel Witt, an information

officer with the Kamloops Fire Centre, said 49 firefighters are working on the nearly 53-hectare wildfire and it is 85 per cent contained. Flames broke out late Sunday night, prompting evacuations and road closures, but no homes have been lost. Witt said another wildfire that was sparked at almost the same time near Okanagan Falls, at the south end of Skaha Lake, covered 16 hectares of grass and bush but is now 100 per cent contained.

Vernon man’s dial-a-dope acquittal overturned THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The B.C. Court of Appeal has ordered a new trial for a Vernon man acquitted of drug charges after a lower court threw out a key search warrant. The decision written by Chief Justice Robert Bauman sets aside the acquittal of Christopher Loewen and orders a new trial on charges of possession of cocaine, heroin and marijuana for the purpose of trafficking. Those charges were dismissed in January 2015 when a provincial court judge in Vernon rejected a warrant that led to

the seizure of drugs, cash and other evidence vital to the case against an alleged dial-a-dope operation. The unanimous decision by three Court of Appeal justices finds Judge Mayland McKimm was wrong to reject the warrant for what he considered a lack of “independently verifiable information’’ and “bald unsupported assertions.’’ The warrant had been heavily edited to prevent identification of confidential informants and the Crown refused a request to provide an unredacted version. In overturning Loewen’s acquittal, Bauman writes that

McKimm wrongly dissected details that supported the warrant, instead of assessing the material “in light of the totality of the circumstances.’’ In the 14-page judgment, Bauman says McKimm “should have found a very strong case for issuing the warrant.’’ “A search warrant is an investigative tool. Its justification rests on reasonable grounds, not proof beyond a reasonable doubt,’’ writes Bauman. “In my view, the judge’s reasons for finding the warrant insufficient simply do not reflect the detailed and compelling evidence.’’

TORONTO — Royal Bank CEO David McKay says the lender is “closely monitoring’’ the real estate markets in Vancouver and Toronto, where home prices have been climbing at a breakneck pace. “The short supply of singlefamily homes in both cities — coupled with strong demand fuelled by household formation, including net immigration — has driven strong price appreciation,’’ McKay said during a conference call to discuss the bank’s third-quarter results. “We have prudent underwriting practices in place and the necessary technology to closely monitor these markets and quickly react as situations may materialize.’’ McKay added that he supports Ottawa’s plan to form

a working group to study the housing market and develop recommendations to mitigate some of the risks stemming from the combination of soaring house prices and record levels of consumer debt. Executives at RBC, which reported $2.895 billion of net income in the third quarter, were peppered with questions about the bank’s residential mortgage portfolio during yesterday’s conference call. Analysts wanted to know what contingency plans the bank has in place in the event of a downturn in house prices. RBC’s chief risk officer Mark Hughes touted the bank’s “diligent’’ process for verifying the incomes of borrowers and noted the bank doesn’t participate in the second mortgage market or offer subprime mortgage loans. Hughes also highlighted the

Surveyed doctors want THC in recreational marijuana regulated THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The Canadian Medical Association says 72 per cent of doctors who responded to a survey it conducted want the federal government to regulate THC levels in recreational marijuana. A total of 788 doctors, or 19 per cent of the association’s membership, responded to the survey earlier this summer, the group’s annual meeting heard yesterday. Dr. Jeff Blackmer, vice-presi-

dent of medical professionalism at the association, said the survey was based on federal Health Minister Jane Philpott’s request for feedback from physicians. “We really want to take a public health view to this and represent the views of physicians the same way we would on other issues, for example, smoking or alcohol use,’’ he told the meeting. “It’s not to say that we do or don’t support legalization, it’s to say if it is legalized, here’s what we think that should look like.’’

THC is the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. Blackmer said doctors who responded to the survey were split on whether the government should combine recreational and medicinal marijuana regimes or deal with them as separate issues as part of legislation that is set to be introduced next spring. Over 57 per cent of survey respondents said they did not want medical marijuana to be sold in health-care settings, such as pharmacies.

fact that 48 per cent of the loan portfolio is insured, up from 46 per cent last year. The bank purchased additional portfolio insurance this quarter, Hughes added. “Overall, we remain comfortable with our exposure to the Canadian housing market,’’ he said. “Our clients’ credit profiles are strong and have remained stable.’’ Edward Jones analyst Jim Shanahan said that while having credit-worthy customers is important, it doesn’t insulate the bank from potential losses in the event of a correction or a crash. “If there’s a substantial decline in home prices in Canada, it’s unlikely that any Canadian bank wouldn’t feel some pain, whether they were selecting high-quality customers or not,’’ he said.

For Romans, the medieval hamlets 90 minutes away from the capital are popular spots for country houses. Lorenzin said the rescue operation functioned well. “Sadly we are used to this phenomenon,’’ she said. The quake struck central Italy, near Rieti, shortly after 3:30 a.m. and was followed by several aftershocks. Offers for help and well wish-

es came from far and wide. U.S. President Barack Obama called with condolences, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered Renzi rescue assistance and even the Vatican sent crews to the quake zone to help with recovery efforts. The Vatican press office said a six-man team from the Vatican City State’s fire squad went to Amatrice early this morning. A statement said the decision was taken as a “sign of the pope’s concrete proximity to the people affected by the quake.’’ Pope Francis scrapped his usual Wednesday catechism lesson for pilgrims to lead the faithful in prayer for the victims.

A 6.1 magnitude earthquake in central Italy yesterday left at least 120 people dead, said the country’s premier. Premier Matteo Renzi spoke yesterday in the provincial capital of Rieti after visiting rescue crews and survivors in the hardhit town of Amatrice and flying over other demolished towns in nearby Le Marche region. Renzi said 34 people died in Le Marche, the rest from the other towns. He also said the identification of quake bodies was a difficult process. Italy’s health minister said many children were among the victims of the earthquake in the country’s centre. Minister Beatrice Lorenzin spoke to the AP yesterday as she left the quake-hit Amatrice on foot, but didn’t specify how many children were among those killed or injured. She said that while there’s no immediate blood emergency in the quake-hit zone, residents

We’re going to do some great things.” The 20-year-old forward held court after the first on-ice sessions of the season at Sandman Centre and talked about his team’s deep defence corps, which boasts seven returning players and the recently acquired Joe Gatenby, who jumps into the leadership role vacated by Ryan Rehill. “He’s a huge piece,” Shirley said of Gatenby, who was shipped to Kamloops from the Kelowna Rockets earlier this month in a deal that saw 18-year-old forward Jake Kryski go the other way. “We battled through him all last year and in the playoffs. He’s tough to play against. I know I had some trouble with him in the series. That really builds up our D.” The goal-scoring left-winger shifted focus to the forward group, which includes another 20-yearold veteran, Matt Revel, NHLdrafted returnees Garrett Pilon and Deven Sideroff, bright young prospects Jermaine Loewen and Quinn Benjafield, Nick Chyzowski, who morphed into a leader and quietly racked up 15 goals last season, and tantalizing Latvian import Rudolfs Balcers, a San Jose Sharks’

draft pick with speed and skill to spare. Shirley didn’t need to speak about the goaltenders. Connor Ingram’s numbers do the talking. Last season, the Imperial, Sask., export set a franchise record with a .922 save percentage and thrusted himself into the World Junior Hockey Championship conversation. “Seeing how far we’ve come since I’ve been here is pretty crazy and, even in our meetings yesterday and on the ice today, everyone looks sharp and raring to go. There are a lot of expectations and we have a goal set and we’re excited to achieve that.” The Rockets edged the Blazers in Round 1 of the playoffs last season, winning Game 7 in overtime in Kelowna on the same night Team Canada lost to the U.S. in the final of the women’s world hockey championship at Sandman Centre. That was a brutal night for hockey in Kamloops, but likely easier to swallow for the Blazers than the Canadian women. The local WHL team was an underdog and damn near knocked off the WHL champs. Losing in the first round won’t be good enough this year, though. “I really believe you grow when you win in the playoffs,” said Blazers’ head coach Don Hay, who began his second tenure behind the bench in Kamloops in 20142015. “We’ve grown each year in the past two years and we want to take another step this year. We want to really push.” Kamloops doubled its win total from 2013-2014 and had the 19th most points in the league in Hay’s first year in charge, but missed the playoffs by two points. Year 2 of the Don Hay era saw the Blazers finish eighth overall in the WHL standings and push Kelowna to the brink in Round 1. So, what’s next? The ceiling this season seems high and optimism has returned

after a lengthy absence, but don’t start decorating Mark Recchi Way for a parade just yet. There are hurdles to jump — among them an extremely tough B.C. Division, handling life without Ingram should he play for Team Canada and navigating a tough early schedule with at least a few players away at NHL camps. Next Thursday, in Part 2 of this series, we’ll take a closer look at those roadblocks. But we’ll finish today with Jermaine Loewen, who stands 6-foot-4, weighs 216 pounds and will attend Sharks’ training camp later this month. He should be a crease-crashing, Jaws-like predator in 2016-2017 — and the Jamaican giant says his teammates taste blood in the water. “We need to push past last year’s first-round exit, push harder and break through the barrier,” Loewen said. “We need to push all season long.”

Training-camp schedule

With another WHL season just around the corner, the Blazers got back to work this week. Rookie camp starts tomorrow, with 62 players expected to attend, including the 2000- and 2001-born players on the Blazers’ protected list. Main-camp scrimmages will run on Sunday and Monday and the annual Blue vs. White intrasquad game will be held on Tuesday, with puck drop slated

for 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre. Tickets to the Blue vs. White game are $5 and available at the Kamloops Blazers Box Office. All training camp ice sessions until Monday are free to attend.

TRU profs discuss Rio legacy ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

It could be a decade before Rio de Janeiro knows if it has a parade of white elephants on its hands. Until then, Anne Terwiel said Brazil will be left to wait and see. Terwiel, the chair of the tourism management department at Thompson Rivers University, said her research has shown white elephants — a term used to describe a facility that is useless or problematic, especially one that is expensive to maintain or difficult to dispose of — don’t often surface until years after the Olympics have concluded. “A lot of times, the benefits you see are a decade on from the Games and that’s when you really know whether you have a white elephant on your hands or whether you’ve been able to sell it to events and have it utilized,” Terwiel said. “They’ll have a legacy. Whether it’s positive or negative is the question, right?” Terwiel’s research has analyzed the legacies left by the Games in each host city since 2008 and white elephants aren’t altogether uncommon in the realm of the Olympics, she said. Quebeckers, for example, are still paying for the 1976 Summer Games in Montreal, according to a story published in the Globe and Mail earlier this month. While the official Olympic debt took 30 years to pay down, millions of tax dollars each year go to the maintenance of the remaining, rarely-used facilities. In China, the Beijing National Stadium, also known as the Bird’s Nest, requires millions of dollars a year for upkeep and has

sat mostly empty since the 2008 Olympics. But there are examples of well-used facilities following Games, too. Vancouver, Sydney and London have repurposed stadiums following the Olympics, facilities which are constantly in use. Many of the Olympic facilities in Rio had already been used to host both the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2007 Pan American Games. Terwiel said a positive legacy often depends on host organizations and locales making plans during the bidding process for the eventuality of life after the Games. “I wouldn’t want to comment,” she said, asked specifically about Rio’s legacy. “Although, I would say that a number of the facilities that are being utilized for the Olympic Games were built for the FIFA World Cup, as well — so they’ve already hosted one large event. “Rio has the population base and the kind of tourism product that is event-oriented. It would surprise me if they weren’t thinking long-term with some of those projects.” Leaving a lasting legacy — whether in the realm of sporting, social, environmental, urban or economic — in host cities is a part of the Olympic vision and candidates for the Games are expected to have a strong idea of what the event can do for their citizens, city and country. There has been plenty of criti-

cism of Rio, its planning and its organization. But Terwiel said people shouldn’t be so quick to judge the Brazilian city. “I think you need to give a place the chance to be successful,” she said. “Beyond the stadiums, there’s often improvement in transportation, improvement in communication systems, that sort of thing, and those are hard to measure, but they make a huge difference for the people who are living there, in the end.” Not everyone’s outlook on Rio is as optimistic as Terwiel’s, however. Dr. Ryan Gauthier, an associate professor in the faculty of law at TRU, is skeptical of what the future holds for life in Rio after the Olympics. “Rio is really tricky because of the problems with the government, with the dysfunction there, with the economy tanking,” said Gauthier, who did his PhD research on the accountability of the International Olympic Committee for human rights violations caused by the organization of the Games. “I don’t know if they’re going to use a lot of the facilities. Golf is not a particularly popular sport in Rio and they had a couple of golf courses but, ‘No, we need to make an Olympic-level golf course.’ “What’s this going to mean for the future? I think all the disorder and the problems you’ve been seeing leading up to the Games, it’s just going to be more of that. There will be a few good things for Rio, some better transportation here and there, some better housing, possibly, here and there. “I would be surprised to see a really positive legacy coming from this.”

Shirley will captain Blazers this season ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

With a big grin on his face, Collin Shirley pulled the captain’s jersey over his head, marking the beginning of a new chapter in Kamloops Blazers’ history. Shirley certainly isn’t camera shy and the stage was his inside the Blazers’ dressing room at yesterday’s press conference. “You can’t be telling guys to do something if you don’t do it yourself, so that’s the first thing on my mind — being a good person and doing the right things on and off the ice,” said Shirley, the Saskatoon product who was traded to the Blazers from the Kootenay Ice in October 2013. “For the most part, and we talked about this, it’s just about being myself. It’s exciting and a huge honour.” With the C stitched on his sweater throughout his 20-yearold campaign, Shirley expects to be held to a higher standard.

Others were in the running for the coveted honour. Candidates for the captaincy included 19-year-old Nick Chyzowski from Kamloops, 20-yearold Matt Revel from Abbotsford and 20-year-old Dallas Valentine from Lousana, Alta. “They all wanted it,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “It was about seeing who would be ready for it. We came up with Collin. “The coach has to have a good relationship with the captain because, with my captains, we always discuss a lot of things together, to try to get

a feel for the players and to have the players get a good feel for the coach.” Shirley’s likeability factor is through the roof — players like him, media likes him, coaches like him and fans like him. But being a captain can often mean making tough, unpopular decisions, being stern with teammates and delivering tough love with honest, harsh words. Perhaps Shirley’s biggest challenge will be maintaining his jovial, affable, contagious personality, while also developing the nononsense intangibles a captain requires. “I like hanging out with the boys and I like

having fun, but, obviously, you’ve got to hold guys accountable, too, and there’s a more serious role that comes with it,” said Shirley, who led the Blazers in scoring last season with 79 points, 37 of them goals. “That’s something I’ve got to work on and something I’m looking forward to.” Returning players were asked for input during exit meetings

after the 2015-2016 campaign, with Matt Needham, only the second three-season captain in team history, graduating from the junior hockey ranks. That feedback was taken into account when Hay, general manager Stu MacGregor and assistant coach Mike Needham made the final call. “The captain has got to take hits for

the team sometimes,” Hay said. “The biggest thing is to take accountability for the group and how we play and how we act and how we present ourselves within the organization and in the community.” Chyzowski was likely in the discussion, being from Kamloops and with potential to be a two-season captain, but he will join the rest of the lead-

ership group in the conversation to hold alternate captaincies this season. “We’re always looking for who’s going to be the next captain also, so we want that person involved in our group, understanding what goes on before the position becomes his,” Hay said. “You don’t just become a leader right away. You have to learn the right way to act.”

Judging by the look on his face and the frog in his throat, it’s plausible to think Keith Wilson really meant it. Normally, when someone says it “took years off my life,” it’s usually pretty evident they’re not serious. But Catharine Pendrel’s husband might actually think the Grim Reaper was forced to alter his schedule after the women’s cross-country mountain biking race at the Olympic Summer Games in Rio on Saturday. “It was very, very tense the whole time,” said Wilson, three days removed from the trauma, its effects still audible in his quivering voice. “At the start of the race, I thought, ‘Ugh, this isn’t going to happen.’ Then it was really awesome because she’s up in third place. Then you go from celebrating to, ‘Oh, my god.’ “Then I’m watching the sprint and pulling my hair out. It just added so much drama to it. It wasn’t necessary. She didn’t need to do that. I think it took some years off my life.” Pendrel walked off a plane that hit the tarmac just before 2 p.m at Kamloops Airport on Tuesday. “Catharine, Catharine, Catharine!” was the chant from the crowd of about 100 gathered in the arrival area to welcome home its hero, the 35-year-old who momentarily stole breath from many Canadians with her bronze-medal victory at the Games. “It’s funny because travelling for racing and competing is usually such a big part of my life, but it’s usually simple: Come home, get in the car and go,” said Pendrel, overwhelmed by the showing of support. “It’s definitely pretty neat to have this kind of a reception.” During a layover in Toronto on Tuesday morning, Pendrel’s cellphone darn near blew up with messages of encouragement she was unable to field in Brazil. “I had a sim card, so I didn’t get the text messages that would normally come in,” she said. “Between Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, there are just so many amazing messages. It’s just really special.” Much like her army of social-media disciples, Kamloops denizens wanted to

say thanks for delivering an unforgettable Olympic moment. That’s what they did on Tuesday. “It’s not very often we have someone from Kamloops who wins an Olympic medal,” said 12-year-old Derek Buemann, clad in red and white. “It’s very exciting. I get to talk to a person who just won a bronze medal.” “It’s just incredible that she was able to persevere and to push on to catch up from being so far behind,” said Derek’s mother, Karen Buemann. “It’s pretty inspiring. It shows them [her children] what can be accomplished with hard work and dedication.” Kids crafted signs — “You rock,” one young boy wrote — on the airport floor, the

$7,500 STUDENT HIRING GRANTS

Miss Kamloops girls brought pageantry and Maple Leaf flags soared. The woman of the hour was last off the plane, meaning a flight full of people received an unexpected hero’s welcome as they filed in with stunned looks on their faces. Some of them revelled in the attention, going along with the smart-alecky cheers, lifting their hands in the air and accepting adulation for doing, well, nothing. Others shirked away from the microphones and cameras. Pendrel deserved the spotlight. She crashed at the start of the race on Saturday and the outlook was grim. She bolted toward the front of the pack and opened up a 30-second lead on fourthplace Canadian teammate Emily Batty.

She bit the dust again on the final lap (a tumble that did not appear on the live CBC broadcast). She picked herself up off the ground, just as she did after finishing ninth at the 2012 Olympics in London, and sprinted toward the finish, rolling over strands of her husband’s yanked-out hair en route to the podium. She clocked in two seconds ahead of Batty. “She was never going to say die until she got to that finish line,” said Carolynn Boomer, executive director for PacificSport Interior BC. “I was yelling, I was crying, I was standing up, then I was quiet and crying again at the end when she did it.” Pendrel has been caught in a whirlwind since Saturday — partying at the closing ceremony, dealing with hoards of media, entertaining new sponsorship opportunities and travelling across the continent. When the twister finally spits her out, she might add ‘Olympic bronze medallist’ to the About section on her Facebook page, collapse into bed and fall into a deep sleep, with a smile on her face and a medal underneath her arm. But don’t get too comfy, Catharine. Pendrel sits second in the World Cup standings with one race to go, in Vallnord, Andorra, on Sept. 4, and is one good result away from winning the overall women’s title for the third time in her career. When this season does come to a close, the two-time world champion can start thinking about her long-term future in the sport — which may just include another run at the Olympics. “People keep trying to retire me,” she said with a laugh. “I am for sure going to race next year and my manager has already sent me sponsorship proposals for a fouryear contract.” Starting a family might put a wrench in those plans, Pendrel said, but it’s too early to say and there are more pressing issues at hand, like celebrating an Olympic medal. “They only happen every four years, so it’s a unique experience to get to the Olympics, let alone to have the day that you want to have, so it’s definitely very special,” she said. “And I think the most exciting part about having a medal is getting to bring it back home.”

Lions kick off road swing with matchup in Ottawa LOWELL ULLRICH

Running back Anthony Allen, left, will get the start tonight for the B.C. Lions in Ottawa.

THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — It’s a good thing the B.C. Lions feel they’re at home on the road. B.C. (5-3) enters a delicate portion of its regular-season schedule with a road contest against the Ottawa Redblacks (4-3-1) tonight. It’s the first of two straight games away from B.C. Place Stadium against East Division opponents as the Lions will also visit the Toronto Argonauts (4-4) on Aug. 31. B.C. has played consecutive away games against East Division teams in the past, but will remain on the road after the Ottawa contest. It’s the first time since 2003 that the Lions under coach/GM Wally Buono have altered their East Division travel formula, which is why they’ve been preparing for the logistical challenges associated with this trip for several weeks. Although the Lions will continue to face returning East Division starting quarterbacks on their trip and have two improving West Division teams creeping closer to them in the standings, playing on the road couldn’t have come at a better time. East Division teams have a combined 4-11-1 home record so far with no club having more than one win in friendly territory. The Lions

KTW FILE PHOTO

are 3-1 on the road and have played considerably better than in games at B.C. Place Stadium. “For where we are right now, I’d rather have this [schedule],’’ said Lions’ veteran defensive back Ryan Phillips, who wasn’t with the team the last time it stayed on the road for back-to-back games. “To do this at the midpoint of the season, it could help us in Week

15 and 16.’’ The Lions haven’t yet organized any formal team activities for their weekend stay in Ottawa, but Phillips said he’d like to arrange a night for the Lions at a local bowling alley. Getting on the road to bond might be a benefit after the Lions’ disheartening 37-9 home loss to the Calgary Stampeders last week.

It was a game billed as a first-place showdown, but turned out to be a dud for B.C. The Lions are 10-12 at B.C. Place Stadium since the end of the 2013 season. Calgary held B.C. to no offensive touchdowns for the fourth time in the last six regularseason and playoff meetings. “We have to show more intensity and be more passionate about

what we’re doing,’’ said Lions’ quarterback Jon Jennings, who was pulled against Calgary and has been unproductive during his last five quarters of work. After narrowly surviving the return of Zach Collaros to the Hamilton Tiger-Cats on Aug. 13, the Lions must contend with Trevor Harris coming back to Ottawa’s offence. B.C. defeated the Ticats 45-38, but Collaros threw for 331 yards and two TDs in his first game after suffering a serious knee injury last September. Harris returns under centre for Ottawa after suffering a leg injury in the club’s 30-29 loss to Saskatchewan on July 22. And when B.C. faces Toronto, it’s expected veteran quarterback Ricky Ray will play for the Argos after missing three games with a knee injury. “Frankly, we were preparing for both [Harris and Henry Burris] this week,’’ Lions’ defensive co-ordinator Mark Washington said. “Sometimes you just draw those types of cards.’’ Defensive tackle Mich’ael Brooks will return to the Lions’ lineup tonight after missing three games with a high ankle sprain. B.C. will also switch from former Ottawa tailback Jeremiah Johnson to Anthony Allen in the backfield.

Dennis Eugene

October 12, 1949 - August 8, 2016 With deepest sorrow we announce the sudden passing of Dennis Eugene Loxterkamp at his home in Chilliwack B.C. Born October 12th 1949 to John and Caroline Loxterkamp. He spent his childhood in Cloverdale with his two sisters Joyce and Bonnie. Traveling the world at 19 he was an adventurous and curious man holding a respect and appreciation for people, animals, nature and all the experiences that life offers. After many years of moving throughout the B.C. areas, as far as Calgary AB, he chose to raise his two sons in Kamloops. Here he became an amazing father best friend and role model to his two sons whom he loved so dearly. Being an amazing father he himself was an amazing son taking us on countless trips to spend time with grandma on the coast. Dennis was preparing for retirement after 12 years with the men and women of Torbram Electric, spending time in Salmon arm, Nanaimo and Chilliwack, where he became like family to co-workers and customers alike. Balancing his interests, passions and responsibilities he was able to explore the open roads, camping and visiting loved ones along his way. Dennis is survived by his two sons Mathew and Zachery Loxterkamp. A celebration will be held in our Dads name on Saturday August 27th in Chilliwack B.C.

TO THE RESIDENTS OF WESTWOLD RE: PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF RURAL AGENCY STORE The Liquor Distribution Branch invites community input on a request to establish a Rural Agency Store (RAS) at Westwold General Store and Café in the community of Westwold. The intent of a RAS is to provide liquor service in rural communities and tourist destination resorts, in order to give people in these communities better, more convenient access to beverage alcohol products. RASs are established in rural communities where it is too small to operate a Government Liquor Store. RASs will be established, where there is a suitable business i.e. an existing independently-owned full service general grocery store. Only one Rural Agency Store authorization in a community is permitted.

Wanted: 19-24’ used Class C Motorhome. 1998-2007. Don 250-554-0333.

Written comments will be accepted until September 11, 2016. Your submissions may be used by the LDB in the decision process. LIQUOR DISTRIBUTION BRANCH, REGIONAL MANAGERS OFFICE 201 – 1740 GORDON DRIVE KELOWNA, BC V1X 3H2 REGIONAL MANAGERS EMAIL: THAD.ELDER@BCLDB.COM

Obituaries & In Memoriam Joe Gatien

February 8, 1954 — August 14, 2016 Joe Gatien passed away suddenly on August 14 at the age of 62, while enjoying a beautiful afternoon of biking with one of his closest friends. Joseph Andrew Gatien was born on February 8, 1954 in Kamloops to Mary (Kassiones) and Harold Gatien and was the youngest of three children. Mary Lynn had a caring bond with her baby brother, and would often push baby Joe around in a carriage from their family home to next door and across the alleyway where both sets of their grandparents lived in downtown Kamloops. Joe’s older brother Bert, was perhaps a contributing partner in Joe’s sarcasm, and love of teasing: Bert and Joe, although competitive (Bert would often make his little brother Joey eat grass), enjoyed many activities together: They loved water sports, and spent many days at Paul Lake and Shuswap, as well as skiing at Tod Mountain. Both the Kassiones and Gatien families have deep Kamloops roots. The family business of running the original Commodore Café played a huge part in his young life. When being disciplined by his parents a typical punishment would involve peeling potatoes in the basement of the restaurant. After selling the business, the Commodore changed names several times over the years. When it finally opened as the current Commodore Café it

pleased Joe to see his family legacy live on in name. Joe met the love of his life Pammie in the summer of 68’ in Riverside Park when they were 14 years old. Joe loved to tease, but would only ever tease those he loved and cared for so it was fitting that during Pam and Joe’s first interaction Joe bit off a piece of Pam’s popsicle and tossed her into the river. This was the start of a long and loving relationship. Joe graduated with top marks from UBC with a commerce degree in 78’, got engaged in April, and married on September 23rd of that same year. They later enjoyed a honeymoon road tripping along the Oregon Coast, a place that held such fond memories for the young couple, they later revisited years later with their four children. Pam and Joe bought their family home in 1980, where Joe began his journey of never ending renovations. Joe was a do-it-yourself, and do-it-right kind of man. He was a self-taught handyman and took pride in his hard work. Joe would never pay someone for a job he could do himself and there wasn’t much he couldn’t accomplish. Children soon followed after with the birth of their son Beau, and daughters Jamie, Elise, and Bria. Joe was a patient and gentle father, who always knew the value of little moments. Joe had a talent for braiding his daughters hair (usually in the Bento’s Day Lodge at the ski hill), and enjoyed sharing many hikes including backpacking the West Coast Trail with his only son Beau. Joe was always involved in his children’s many activities, and his striking blue eyes would light up with love and pride every time he looked at or spoke of his family. Joe had a deep love for nature and adventure. He had many passions including hiking, mountain biking, fishing and kayaking, but

Passing on his love of skiing to his grandchildren brought both Joe and his three little racers immeasurable joy. Joe was a hands on Poppa, who took the time to build tree forts, pick strawberries from his backyard garden, dig in the dirt and to simply sit and enjoy the delight his grandchildren brought to his life. Dylan, Austin and Dawsyn have so many fond memories and adventures to remember their Poppa by, and skiing will no doubt always be the place they will feel him closest to their hearts. Joe worked for BC Assessment for 28 years. He was a hard worker and a well-respected member of their team. Joe is lovingly remembered by his wife Pam, son Beau (Austin), daughter’s Jamie Lockwood (Blair, Dylan and Dawsyn), Elise (Stuart), Bria (Corey), mother-in-law Joan Kenny, sister Mary-Lynn Fornelli (Jim), brother Bert (Denise), nieces, nephews as well as many friends and relatives. The family will be honouring Joe’s wish for a small, private Celebration of Life. Should family and friends desire, donations may be made to the Sun Peaks Alpine Ski Club in honour of Joe’s memory and his love for the sport.

Johnny Peters Johnny Peters (J-Roc) passed away peacefully in Merritt, BC on August 21, 2016 at the age of 39. Lovingly remembered by his Mom Cathy Peters; Daughter Turiska Peters of Kamloops; Goddaughters Romi Peters of Kamloops and Ariel Peters-Munro of Merritt; God-son Trey Peters of Merritt; Brothers Raymond Peters, Trey Peters and Will Munro; Sisters Belinda Peters, Lily Shuter and Lloya Spahan; as well as many nieces, nephews, friends and relatives. Johnny was predeceased by his father Gene Peters. A Funeral Service will be announced at a later date. Should friends desire, donations may be made to Cathy or Belinda Peters in Merritt or Sue Peters in Kamloops. Service arrangements are entrusted to Merritt Funeral Chapel.

skiing was the embodiment of Joe’s life. No one escaped a ski lesson from Joe, his wife, children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and many other friends and family members were the lucky recipients of Joe’s expertise. Joe spent countless hours coaching and volunteering for the Tod Mountain/Sun Peaks Alpine Ski Club, as well as being a part of the Whistler Weasel Workers, volunteering for world cup events, and his biggest thrill being involved in the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Susanne Lorraine Haddock October 31, 1950 - August 9, 2016

Beloved Nana, Wife and Mom Our family is heartbroken to announce that after a courageous fight with lymphoma, Sue passed away peacefully on August 9, 2016 at the age of 65 years. She spent her last three days at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home surrounded by family, friends and wonderful hospice staff. Sue was born October 31, 1950 in New Westminster, daughter of Barbara and Gordon Cook and sister to Laurie (Dar) and Bonnie. She married her neighbourhood sweetheart Bernie at the age of 18 years. At this time, she gained a sister-in-law Doreen (Herb) and a family friend Pete with whom she became very close. Sue is survived by her husband Bernie of 47 years and children Doug (Sandy) and Nicki (Murray). She has four grandchildren who will miss their Nana dearly (Paige, Brooklyn, Hailey and Jake), as well as several nieces and nephews. Sue’s presence was larger than life no matter where she went. She always had a smile on her face and could find humour in any situation, including her hair loss. She could chat with anyone about anything and was often the life of the party. She especially looked forward to family gatherings and holidays. She adored her children and grandchildren and loved the moments she had with them. She wanted to attend every event that she could, despite her illness. Her life was dedicated to her family. Growing up, “Momsie” always enjoyed getting to know Doug and Nicki’s friends and had a reputation for driving everyone safely home in the “wee hours of the night.” Sue always stood up for what she believed in and was always there to support you in a time of need. You could rely on her for anything. Some of Sue’s fondest memories with her friends include a trip to Friday Harbour with Toni Lake and tea with Jackie Jones.

Do you know someone that has been touched by Identity Theft? Many people are not aware that Identity Theft can occur even after death. It can be expensive and time consuming for the executor. Government agencies (CPP and OAS are cancelled) and credit reporting agencies (credit cards and loans) are notified to make sure nothing new is issued in the deceased’s name. Call us for more details.

She spoke of these two friends often and missed them dearly when she lost them, also to cancer. Sue enjoyed friendly competition; whether it was bowling, curling, ping pong, lawn darts, board games, doing crosswords or playing cards, she discretely kept an eye on the score. This competitive side became more evident during family marshmallow fights and golf, which she developed a passion for later in life. Golf was something she enjoyed thoroughly with Bernie, up until 3 weeks prior to her passing. Her greatest golf accomplishment was a holein-one at Sun Shore Golf Club (2008). Sue wanted us to thank all the staff at the cancer clinic, notably Dr. Proctor, Dr. Van Heerden, Tracy, Deb and all the wonderful nurses who assisted her during her fight. We would also like to thank Dr. Trutsov, Dr. Chahal, Dr. Montgomery and Dr. Stinson, who were all instrumental in her care. Our family would like to send our deepest gratitude to all the ladies at hospice. Although Sue’s time there was brief, they were absolutely amazing and made her final days there as comfortable as possible. Their kindness, understanding and support is beyond words. Thank you so much Dr. Zee, Cherilyn, Danielle, Stacey, Melissa, Ashley, Kristin and all of the other wonderful human beings who work there. It takes special people to do what you do! We would also like to thank our family and friends for being there for “Momsie” and us, offering endless support. As per Sue’s wishes, no formal funeral service will be arranged. Instead, an open house to Celebrate her Life will be held on Saturday, September 17, 2016 from 2-5 pm at Hal Rogers Community Centre, 2025 Summit Drive, Kamloops, BC. Please feel free to drop in and share some stories, laughs and snacks. In lieu of flowers, Mom has requested that a donation be made in her name to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice at 72 Whiteshield Crescent S, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9. Rest peacefully now, Mom. You fought a hard battle. We love you and will miss you dearly! XOXO

LOVE ALWAYS REMEMBERS BY HELEN STEINER RICE

May tender memories soften your grief, May fond recollection bring you relief, And may you find comfort and peace in the thought Of the joy that knowing your loved one brought For time and space can never divide Or keep your loved one from your side When memory paints In colors true The happy hours that Belonged to you.

The more you give, The more you get, The more you laugh,

Al was born and grew up in Kamloops and graduated from UBC in Electrical Engineering. He spent his career with BCTel/Telus in a variety of engineering and management positions including as a Project Manager on the International Broadcast team for the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria and two on-loan assignments with the United Way. He was devoted to his family and was happiest when spending time with Keith and Gary one-on-one or together with Robbie on an outing, school project, supporting extra-curricular activities or just being together. He was a loving and supportive father and encouraged them to learn, explore the world, have empathy for others and to follow their own path. Al also had a passion for aviation and enjoyed Radio Control airplanes for more than 30 years. He was an accomplished RC pilot and scratch builder and spent many hours at flying fields and clubs throughout BC. What was especially meaningful to him was the comradery and friendship with fellow fliers and he was always willing to help others and share his knowledge. He also flew the Orca blimp at GM Place for more than 100 Canuck’s hockey games and worked with the UBC engineering heavy-lift teams and flying their planes at competitions in California and Texas. Following retirement he and Robbie bought a trailer in Mesa, Arizona and spent the winters enjoying the warm dry climate and longer days, golf and happy hours with friends on the back deck watching the sunset. Please join us to remember Al at a Memorial Service on Saturday, September 24th, 2016 at 2:00 pm at McCall Gardens - 4665 Falaise Drive, Victoria, BC. Special thanks to Dr. Andre Hugo (GP), Dr’s. Paul Clarkson and Kong Khoo (BC Cancer Agency) and the staff of 4B at the Kelowna General Hospital. If desired, donations may be made to the BC Cancer Agency or the charity of your choice.

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.

Frances Gucwa (nee Partridge) August 13, 1932 - August 6, 2016

Mom passed away peacefully August 6, 2016 at age 83, following a brief illness. Her son Johnny and his wife Deb were by her side. She is predeceased by her husband of over 50 years Walter, as well as all of her siblings. Fran was born in Salmon Arm, B.C., and raised on a farm in Tappen, B.C. She was the youngest of five children. Her life on the farm resulted in her being a life long animal lover, there was always a cat or dog in the house even a raccoon and skunk. She worked various jobs over the years, followed by 20 years as a Care Aide at the Tranquille School until it closed; she remained close to many of her co-workers over the years. Fran and Walter could be seen many mornings at A&W having breakfast and chatting and visiting with their friends before heading to Bingo; Fran’s collection of dabbers was amazing! She cherished her garden, preserving beets, peaches and pears and loved sitting in her back yard. She was an avid knitter and crocheted until her arthritis made it impossible to continue, but she always had an extra pair of slippers for whoever needed them. Mom would welcome you into her home and make you feel like it was yours. She was kind, friendly and generous. She will be dearly missed. She leaves her son John and his wife Deb to mourn her passing as well as her granddaughters Jessica and Elizabeth and great-granddaughter Harper plus many nieces and nephews. Special thanks to all the Caregivers at Gemstone Seniors home over the last year who where involved with her care. A Graveside Service will take place on September 2, 2016 at 2:00 pm at Pleasant Street Cemetery, Kamloops with Harry Bicknell officiating. You may be gone from my sight, but you are never gone from my heart. Should friends desire, memorial donations may be made to the Kamloops branch of the S.P.C.A.

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!

Make a move — all 108 of them Group promoting tai chi with free summer outdoor classes at St. Andrews on the Square JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen Danita Howard and friends from Ashcroft needed an outlet, they sought a yoga instructor willing to commute. “We went through Cariboo College at the time and she said, ‘We don’t have any yoga instructors, but we have a tai chi instructor. Would you be interested?’ And we said, ‘Yes, we’ll do it.’”

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW Danita Howard, 67, leads a tai chi class at St. Andrews on the Square, where free classes are offered until the end of August.

Almost 20 years later, the 67-year-old volunteers for the Funk Loy Kok Institute of Taoism — a global non-profit run by volunteers in 27 countries — practising and teaching tai chi. The Kamloops branch encompasses not only the River City, but also 100 Mile House and Ashcroft. Howard estimated about 200 people practise this form of tai chi in the area. It never exploded she said, but they’ve been encouraging new members this summer by offering free introductory classes at St. Andrews on the Square during the Saturday farmers and artisan markets. When KTW met with Howard, she led a group of about 14 people during part of the weekly summer program. Several beginners took their place in the middle of the rectan-

healthy mind, body and spirit. While it is common to hold poses in yoga, tai chi is fluid. It’s slow, but newbies get lost trying to follow each smooth transition and hand movement. Tai chi is usually practised indoors, so challenges outside include noisy distractions — live music playing in the background among lookyloos and shoppers — and balancing on uneven ground. The routine takes about 15 to 20 minutes to complete and Howard said the 108 movements are designed to exercise every joint, ligament and muscle in the body. See ‘TAI CHI,’ B2

TRU AWARDED FOR MENTOR PROGRAM Thompson Rivers University’s mentoring program has won a Conference Board of Canada award for innovative and creative partnerships in North America. Community Mentoring Program (CMP) co-ordinators Arlene Olynyk and Susan Forseille will receive the award next month in Oslo, Norway. The award was chosen by an international panel of judges and will be give, to them in Norway at the Global Best Awards, a biannual event that highlights outstanding and effective business, education and community organization partnerships that have significant impact on communities. “Being recognized internationally demonstrates that the kinds of partnerships we have built are over the top — what our career mentors are doing is not being done everywhere and people are looking to us as leaders in the field,” said Olynyk, alumni relations supervisor. Over the past six years, the CMP has grown from a grassroots level with 40 local mentors to generating regional, provincial, national and international partnerships to build a community of over 800 cocareer educators. The purpose of the program is to enhance career development and student

employability upon graduation. To date, more than 2,700 students have connected with career mentors throughout Canada, the United States, New Zealand, Iceland, Sweden, Australia and Africa. “Inviting mentors to share their career advice and insight, from their personal perspectives, was the beginning of what has proven to be an exceptional education

strategy with strong evidence supporting inspiring results,” said Olynyk. Olynyk and Forseille will deliver a café conversation at the conference, where they will present the CMP to other delegates and award winners. “We are excited to share best practices on career mentoring and how using community partners as cocareer educators immensely enriches career development

for students,” said Forseille, student employment coordinator. “We imagined a program that would bring the expertise, passion and energy from stakeholders together to provide students with enhanced insight on the tools, experience and avenues they will personally need to showcase their skills to potential employers and that’s what we’ve been able to do.”

Blueberries and cream ice pops Crisp white fresh a refreshing summer treat from the vineyard

t’s finally feeling like summer and gardens are loving it as much as Kamloopsians. There is nothing like sun and heat to bring out the full flavours your garden is capable of producing. Tomato season is in full swing and we set out to take advantage of it this week. A grilled zucchini and tomato lasagne was on the menu last week and my job was to show up with a great bottle of wine to complement this masterpiece. I set out with that in mind but wanted something to go with fresh tomatoes, too. I arrived at Monte Creek Ranch Winery and tried a few whites before settling on a bottle of their 2015 Reisling. This might be my favourite Monte Creek wine to date. I struggle to find white wine I like, one with lots of flavour, that isn’t sweet, and is crisp and fresh followed by a nice finish. I’m looking for a white that is like a good red, but with all the crisp, green flavour benefits of a white. The research has been exhausting. Monte Creek’s reisling

hese days, we can buy blueberries any time of the year. But summertime is the season for homegrown varieties and can be used in all kinds of recipes. One of my favourites is blueberries and vanilla ice cream — it’s sweet, tart and creamy all at once — so I thought I’d team blueberries and heavy cream in frozen pop form for Blueberries and Cream Ice Pops. Blueberries vary flavour and texture. They can be sweet or tart, large and soft or small and crunchy. Occasionally, they can also be bland, but even a bland berry can be pointed up with a few ingredients. All blueberries benefit from sugar and lemon, which balance their natural sweetness and acidity. There are fixed amounts of each in this recipe, but you should taste the berries and adjust

accordingly. If they’re extra-sweet, add more lemon and less sugar. If they’re extratart, increase the sugar and decrease the acid. Taste them again after you’ve pureed the berries and adjust accordingly. Fruit pop recipes usually call for sugar syrup rather than granulated sugar because the latter doesn’t dissolve well in a cold liquid. To avoid making syrup, I’ve use superfine sugar, which dissolves easily. If you don’t have superfine at hand, measure out 1/4 cup minus 1 1/2 tbsp. of granulated sugar and blend it fine. Set aside 1/2 tsp. for the cream, then add the blueberries and lemon juice and rock on with the recipe.

BLUEBERRIES AND CREAM ICE POPS

Courtesy Sara Moulton

1 pint blueberries (about two cups) ¼ cup plus ½ tsp. superfine sugar or to taste 1 to 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice or to taste ½ cup heavy cream 1 tsp. vanilla extract In a blender, combine blueberries with 1/4 cup of the sugar and the lemon juice. Blend until finely pureed and transfer puree to bowl. In medium bowl with electric beaters, beat cream until it forms soft peaks. Add remaining 1/2 tsp. sugar and vanilla. Beat to incorporate. Gently pour whipped cream on top of blueberry puree and with just a few strokes, fold cream into puree to form streaks. Don’t combine cream and puree — keep as separate as possible. Spoon mixture into ice pop moulds, leaving 1/2-inch gap at top and freeze solid for about eight hours. Makes four to six pops, depending on size of moulds.

Sips in

THE CITY has a punchy start, with bold aromas that scream summer is here. It smells like a walk in an orchard and tastes even more like one. This wine is wonderfully acidic, crisp and ‘green apple-y’ — which isn’t a word but could be if this wine catches on. Reisling is a German grape and is well-suited to our growing conditions. That shows clearly in this great bottle. The grapes were picked at their peak and, I’m no expert, but it just tastes like this wine was good right from the vineyard. Without a lot of fussing, it’s clean, streamlined and true to the fruit. Our first sips, sans dinner, gave the impression this wine weighed

in on the dry side, but as we made our way through dinner, we all agreed it was a little sweet. That’s OK. It paired well with our slightly spicy dinner and I wasn’t the only one who kept sneaking little smells as we went, savouring the aromatic lift this wine boasts. For me, finish — or aftertaste if you are a beer drinker — is as important as the rest of the components. It’s one of my favourite parts of wine drinking and wines without finish never make it back to the table at my house. This is what separates the men from the boys in the wine world. I love good finish. The reisling has a nice finish, which makes you think of green grass and dry spring air — perfect. At less than $20 from the winery, it’s a nicely priced treat to share with guests, show off as wine produced in our region or give as a gift when heading out of town, sharing a little piece of Kamloops craftsmanship.

OTTAWA — The first Jeep I ever saw was at my uncle Ralph’s ranch in southern Alberta back in the 1970s. The vehicle was already old by then, having been purchased as war surplus (one of those legendary deals in the aftermath of the Second World War,

Automotive company celebrating 75th anniversary with look back at history, special-edition features when they were reasonably priced and still in the crate) and still going strong after 20 years of hard use as a backcountry patroller. Being a child at the time, I don’t remember much about it except the tipdown windshield and the impressive climbing ability

of the beast when Ralph would take us out into the backcountry foothills near Stavely and Nanton. It could, for example, have been one of the original Willys-Overland built vehicles that originally answered the military’s call for a new service vehicle

After a few iterations of the CJ platform, the lineup expanded in the ‘40s and ‘50s with two pickup trucks, the Willys Wagon (which debuted in 1947 but didn’t get four-wheel drive until 1949). It wasn’t until 1967 the Wagoneer came along and arguably kicked off the era of the SUV for everyday people.

2016 Jeep lineup true to company’s military roots

The grille on the 2017 Jeep Cherokee Summit may look modern and swanky with its chrome detailing, but the Jeep line still boasts features set out by the military back when it was first designed.

The first to offer an automatic transmission with a 4×4 powertrain, this is the one that began to move away from the army-truck image and rebrand Jeep as a potential family car option. Of course, now that we are living in the utopian future, pretty much any of the Jeep lineup can be considered as a family vehicle and the company brought its stable of 2016 vehicles in its special edition, 75th anniversary package. Everything the company makes, from 2016 Renegade and Compass to the Grand Cherokee, can include the package, which adds new colour choices, wheel options and badging and interior trim commemorating three-quarters of a century of offroad prowess. I spent most of my event time in a Wrangler (in anniversary Jeep green paint), on road and off. As far as I’m concerned, it is the best of the bunch for sheer rock-crawling, hill-descending and mud-throwing fun which we got to do on a spectacular deep woods course not far from Calabogie Motorsport Park in Ontario. It handled all climbing and water-fording admirably and not because of my superior offroading skills but because of the presence of a dedicated group of hardcore enthusiasts from the Eastern Ontario 4×4 Club, on hand to coach us on the intricacies of operating the vehicles in the forest country of the Ottawa Valley. Naturally, the club guys were Jeep fans and owners and they brought their own prized possessions along, many of them classics in their own right. One of my favourites was the 1998 TJ owned by club member Nick Dufresne (he’s a secondgeneration club member, too, his father is one of the original cast), fully tricked out in 30-inch tires, front end stinger barrier and the latest in offroad extras — LED strip light bars, which replace the halogen bulb arrays of yesteryear. The 2016 lineup upholds the original intent of the Jeep brand, as outlined in the demands provided by the military; the steep angle of approach and departure that allows it to tackle the serious grades, the higher ground clearance and towing and hauling abilities remain — although the dimensions have changed considerably in all directions. Consider the original 1940s requirements for the vehicle that helped win the Big War: a 600pound load capacity, a gross vehicle weight of 1.300 pounds and a minimum of three bucket seats. The current, commemorative lineup meets and exceeds all of that, but as you might imagine, the army surplus discount Ralph bought his for is also a thing of the past. The low $20,000 (for a relatively base 4×4 Compass) is where you can begin shopping; but you can push it way, way up — an SRT Grand Cherokee I took out for some track laps at Calabogie came in at almost $80,000.
