Hit, run suspect sought Police are trying to track down a driver who fled the scene after striking a jogger over the weekend, landing the runner in hospital with serious injuries.

Kamloops RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird said the collision took place just before 7:30 a.m. on Sunday on Athabasca Street West on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. Two joggers were running along the side of the road, he said, when a stolen vehicle struck one of them and sped away. The vehicle was found abandoned a few hours later near the Halston Bridge.

Aird said police want to speak with anyone who saw a person of interest exhibiting strange behaviour on the Halston Bridge about 20 minutes after the collision.

The person of interest is a young man who was wearing a black hoodie and a white backpack. Aird said a witness reported seeing him walking in circles on the roadway portion of the bridge.

“It is felt he may have been given a ride as he was not located minutes later when city police officers patrolled the area,” Aird said.

Information can be called in to Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

Sheriff ensnared in Creep Hunters sting TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police are investigating a Kamloops deputy sheriff who appears to have been caught by a vigilante group targeting online sex predators.

Kelowna Creep Hunters posted a video to Facebook on Saturday allegedly depicting deputy sheriff Kevin Johnston, who works out of the Kamloops Law Courts, fleeing from people involved with the vigilante group in a Kelowna parking lot.

Johnston appears in the video to have driven from Kamloops to Kelowna to meet a fictional teenager with whom he believed he had been flirting online.

Another video uploaded on Saturday shows one of the group’s members, Steph Cotts, apparently talking on speakerphone with Johnston.

In the conversation, Johnston appears to admit a person he had been chatting with online had described herself as a 14-year-old girl. He also appears to admit to sending nude photographs to the person and offering instruction about how to perform lewd acts.

As of KTW press time, the speakerphone video had been viewed more than 60,000 times.

“I’d posted a Craigslist ad just saying I’d just moved to Kelowna and wanted to find somebody to chat with,” Cotts, who lives in Kamloops, told KTW. “He replied to my ad.”

Cotts said she told Johnston in her second message that she was 14. In the speakerphone conversation, Johnston appears to tell Cotts he thought she was lying about her age and was actually legal.

Cotts said Johnston sent her a photograph of himself in his sheriff uniform, making it clear he worked in law enforcement.

That photo, and others, were also shared by the group online.

In addition, Kelowna Creep Hunters has posted on its website transcripts of the email conversations appearing to depict Johnston’s interactions with Cotts. One message appears to show Johnston admitting he could be “going to jail” for interacting with a young girl.

Cotts said the videos were shot in Kelowna on Friday. Since they went online, Cotts said, she has been in contact with police.

RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk confirmed police are looking into the allegations.

“Our investigators have been made aware of the incident,” he said.

“Any information received regarding the victimization of a person who is under the age of consent for sexual purposes or exploitation is thoroughly investigated.”

If new rules allowing urban hens have sparked a backyard craze, the City of Kamloops hasn’t yet heard about it.

So far, community development co-ordinator Ben Chobater said, only one person has used the city’s online chicken registration system, located at kamloops.ca/urbanhens.

While city staff is aware of more Kamloops hens — many of which were clucking on urban lots well before a bylaw made their presence legal — Chobater said the city has not yet done an advertising push for the website, which may explain the low

number of submissions.

“I think people are just starting to hear about it now,” he said.

Chobater said registration will help the city respond to any complaints or issues that might arise because of the hens. It’s also a way to get homeowners thinking about the amount of work they will have to put in for their backyard eggs.

“A big part of it is to get them to that website,” Chobater said.

“There’s a lot of good information on it.

Anyone who reads through that website is going to have a healthy understanding of what’s required, from setting it up to when the hens pass and everything in between.”

Paper copies of the registration form are also available at city hall at Victoria Street and First Avenue.

The city plans to host a public information workshop on hen keeping, which will likely run over two nights in November, Chobater said.

While an exact number of unregistered chickens in Kamloops is hard to come by, Chobater said he doubts the number is vast.

“People want urban hens, but not a lot of people actually take it up,” he said.

“It’s a fair bit of work and a lot of planning and everything like that. I know even before the bylaw change, there were a few people out there with hens, but it wasn’t that many.”

Fundraiser for cab driver who was stabbed A cabbie stabbed while on duty last week is recovering and responding to visitors through gestures.

Cal Huntington remains in Royal Inland Hospital, where he was taken by ambulance in the early-morning hours of Aug. 24.

Satinder Mann, general manager of Kami Cabs, said family and friends have visited Huntington, whose injuries are no longer con-

sidered life-threatening.

“He is getting better,” Mann said.

Kami Cabs Ltd. is overseeing a fundraiser for Huntington. It has raised $2,700 so far.

Donors can drop off cheques 24 hours a day at the Kami Cabs office at 209 Leigh Rd. in North Kamloops, where they will be placed in the company safe.

Restrictions for off-road riding CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The province hopes to better protect sensitive grasslands when it enacts restrictions as of Thursday for offloading riding in Lac Du Bois and lower Noble Creek areas.

The new rules better define areas where riding quads and dirt bikes is allowed and where it is restricted, said Noelle Kekula, a recreation officer with the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Development.

Along with the closures, two popular riding areas will be given designation and signage.

“People always ask, ‘Where can I go?’” Kekula said. “Now there’s four areas.”

NEW RULES BETTER DEFINE AREAS AROUND KAMLOOPS FOR USERS OF DIRT BIKES, ATVS Those areas designated for riding are upper Noble Creek, Lafarge, Greenstone and the designated area at Lac Du Bois immediately north of the Batchelor Heights subdivision.

It follows off-road riding closures in Cherry Creek, Six Mile and Tunkwa Lake areas several years ago.

The designations will allow riding at Lac Du Bois in a 470-hectare area, while banning it in two neighbouring areas immediately to the east and west, totalling about 500 hectares.

Kekula said signage will be placed showing closed areas.

Also in the works are designating zones inside the riding areas

for dirt bikes or ATVs. Typically, dirt bikes use singletrack, while ATVs, trucks and side-by-side vehicles need a much wider trail.

The goal is to protect species at risk in the rare grassland ecosystem.

The ministry has worked with recreational groups on the program.

“We wouldn’t have the areas without the clubs,” Kekula said.

“They’re doing the work on the ground.”

Kekula said other areas that may see restrictions in the future include Barnhartvale and Inks Lake, where there is a rancher holding grazing rights.

Overdose Awareness Day at tomorrow’s farmers’ market STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

When her son, Tyler, died earlier this year, Sherry Robinson didn’t want to talk about it.

Even with family and friends it was a challenge because she felt shame and saw only the stigma of addiction.

Tyler was 23 years old when he died from a fentanyl-related overdose in the late-night hours of Jan. 27.

He left behind his mom, dad, grandparents, brother and extended family members.

Since his funeral in February, Robinson has moved past her reluctance and become involved in what she calls her “grief walk,” taking a hard look at what contributed to Tyler living under a bridge and struggling with addiction.

The walk will see her take part in International Overdose Awareness Day tomorrow at the Kamloops Farmers’ Market downtown.

Robinson will be at a booth

with Sandra Tully, another Kamloops mom whose son, Ryan Pinneo, struggled with addiction and also died from a fentanyl-laced drug overdose, just one week before Tyler’s death.

They will be alongside people from the Phoenix Centre to talk about some of the health-care system gaps they believe made it hard for their sons to get help and for them to advocate for treatment.

What they want, Robinson said, is for someone in government to step up and take a leadership role that will move on the report the province’s independent representative for children and youth, Mary Ellen TurpelLafond, issued last March.

The report is an 80-page document in which Turpel-Lafond wrote: “The child-protection system, the health-care system, social-service agencies, the education system and police consistently failed in their responsibility” for one of the overdose deaths she reviewed.

“It is time for our society to

PUT YOUR BUSINESS

recognize this as a public-health concern and not a moral issue,” Robinson said.

“It is time to take a stand against society’s shaming stigma for people suffering on the addiction spectrum.”

Robinson said she watched her son “slip through the cracks” and, once he was considered a legal adult at age 19, her ability to be accepted by the healthcare system as an advocate for him diminished.

She referenced a study that estimates there are 68,000 youth between the ages of 15 and 24 who have substance-use issues, but the province has only 22 health-care beds in treatment centres.

“When they’re ready, when they want help, when they know they’re ready, they have to wait,” she said. “It’s hard to wait for the services.”

The Kamloops Farmers’ Market, at which the International Overdose Awareness Day booth will be set up, runs from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the 400-block of Victoria Street.

KTW FILE PHOTO Following a five-year absence, the Provincial Winter Fair is returning to Kamloops. The fair, which moved to Barriere five years ago, will celebrate its 78th year at the Circle Creek Ranch in upper Sahali from Sept. 23 to Sept. 26. The Barriere event will continue — also under the banner of the 78th Provincial Winter Fair and on the same dates. The two groups are in the midst of a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court, with both claiming rights to the annual event.

Circle Creek Ranch to host annual fair CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Organizers of this year’s Provincial Winter Fair in Kamloops are hoping to bring the tradition back to the city by staging the event close to home.

The 78th annual fair will be held at Circle Creek Ranch in upper Sahali from Sept. 23 to Sept. 26.

“We’re trying to put the fun back into the fair,” said organizer David Arduini.

“With the setting we have, it’s perfect for a country fair . . . It’s very well-groomed, manicured to the nines and close to town.”

Circle Creek Ranch includes a covered building and outdoor areas for the event that sees 4-H students showcase animals that includes beef, sheep and rabbits.

The traditional beef auction will be held on Monday, Sept. 26.

Food trucks, a farmers’ market and a climbing wall are planned.

Farm 2 Chef will also host a event that pairs food and wine.

“We’ve never done that before,” Arduini said.

The fair returns to Kamloops after a five-year run in Barriere — the result of a split between rival agricultural groups.

The Barriere event will continue — also under the banner of the 78th Provincial Winter Fair and on the same date. The two groups are in the midst of a lawsuit in B.C. Supreme Court, with both claiming rights to the annual event.

Organizer Evelyn Pilatzke said the Barriere group has had “overwhelming support” from the 4-H community.

Organizers in Kamloops concede the Barriere event this year will be larger.

“We’ve got people coming from all over B.C., Pilatzke said, noting organizers of the Barriere event expect similar attendance to last year.

CALLED OUT FOR CROSSING LINE

T

wo of Canada’s closest allies in the Western world — the United States and France — are democratic countries, but have decidedly different political and social philosophies.

Both are struggling with how to deal with other cultures as our borders become less restrictive.

In the U.S., a growing number of people this past year have voiced the desire to keep out so-called foreigners, latching on to presidential candidate Donald Trump’s voiced derision of Mexican immigrants and his call to “temporarily” ban Muslims from entering the country.

In France, elected officials have enacted a “burkini ban,” with police officers challenging and fining Muslim women who choose the covered-up swimsuits instead of so-called appropriate “secular” beachwear, while other beachgoers reportedly cheer officers and jeer the women.

All Canada can do is try to show a good example.

It’s no coincidence that both the U.S. and France have been the targets of terrorist attacks on domestic soil and abroad and it’s clear that this has influenced the current surge of intolerance. But it would be twisting logic to suggest the latest moves represent anything other than xenophobia.

In the U.S., there is still time for the majority to reject such dangerous views. In the case of France, we can only politely suggest the ban — and the heavy-handed actions of police in enforcing it — are unbecoming a society that has long celebrated acceptance.

The argument has been made that banning the “burkini” is an attempt to empower Muslim women who are being told what to wear by the male leaders of their religion.

But how empowering is it to have government and police, instead, dictating their attire?

There are very complicated civil liberties issues involved and attitudes that — however odious we may believe them to be — will not change at the stroke of a pen on a government edict.

The very old maxim holds true: Two wrongs still do not add up to one right.

Roots of ‘homeless’ crisis

V

ictoria’s infamous tent city has been evacuated, as others have before it around B.C., with more than the usual ongoing public pain and expense.

The showers, toilets and privacy fencing have been hauled away after serving through spring and summer of the 10-month occupation of Crown land beside the downtown courthouse.

Mayor Lisa Helps said she wasn’t around there much, but her main regret was that these services hadn’t been provided sooner, although feces and needles continued to litter the area after they were installed.

As the campers’ daily quarrels subsided, a couple of parting gifts were left for the neighbourhood. A pulse of rats spread out from large nests that had formed under the stolen or donated lumber that had covered most of the filthy lot.

What used to be a pretty little park is now a bare wasteland, dead or dying ornamental trees and shrubs removed, topsoil scraped away and the remaining large trees monitored behind steel fencing to determine if they will survive.

The self-styled housing activists who bussed in protesters to the site returned to Metro Vancouver, setting up a similarly media-handy squat in the Downtown Eastside and occupying a condemned apartment block in Burnaby.

As they offered the usual Marxist remedies via banners

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA and bullhorns, a long-running street-side drug camp in North Surrey also came to the attention of the Vancouver media.

It is assumed by many the flood of campers is locally grown, although most of the specific evidence I see is to the contrary: drifters from less welcoming parts of B.C., as well as Alberta, Saskatchewan and Quebec that I have been able to identify.

They are assumed to suffer from “mental health and addictions,” as B.C. housing czar Rich Coleman habitually describes the condition. The province plans to provide residence and treatment for about 200 people at the former Riverview Hospital in Coquitlam, although half of that project will replace existing adult and youth facilities in Burnaby.

Victoria, by my count, now has about 800 existing or planned “transitional housing” or shelter units.

So many buzzwords are used it’s difficult to establish categories, but most of the hundreds of new rooms appear to be mod-

ern equivalents of the singleroom occupancy slums of the Downtown Eastside — containment rather than treatment for this alleged epidemic of “mental health.”

My summer reading included an unusually frank discussion of this worldwide cultural problem, written by British psychiatrist Theodore Dalrymple. Life at the Bottom: The Worldview that Makes the Underclass was published in 2001 and chronicles his experience working in a hospital and prison that serve the rougher part of London. It stands up well today and seems to have anticipated the urban subculture we now see in Canada.

He quotes a still-popular Pink Floyd song to describe the culture that has replaced the discipline of family, religion and work among the lower classes: “We don’t need no education/We don’t need no thought control” is now read as a sort of gospel.

Street drugs are the preferred method of escaping the supposed thought control of orderly society. Getting a tattoo of one’s girlfriend’s name is a preliminary step to abandoning her and their shared child. The so-called sexual revolution led not only to a rise in neglected children, but also to an escalation of abuse of poor women that he has to treat.

Dalrymple reserves a special scorn for the mass-media obsession with injustice in the most just society ever created and the notion that poverty causes crime.

I’ll discuss that in a future column. tfletcher@blackpress.ca

LOCAL NEWS

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LET’S FOCUS ON WHAT WE PUT INTO OUR BODIES Editor: Re: Don McLaughlin’s letter of Aug. 26 (‘Universal health care needs new thinking’): I totally agree with his conclusion that our universal health-care system needs an overhaul, particularly diagnosis and treatment procedures beyond the regular family physician.

In his letter, McLaughlin uses colonoscopies as an example of a more than simple routine with long waiting lists.

This may not be the best example because, in my opinion, people need to be far more

responsible for what goes into their stomach.

I can’t believe the crap in people’s shopping carts as they go through the checkouts.

I can’t believe the lack of knowledge about digesting healthy food and the side effects of processed food as it passes through their digestive system.

All this information is available to everyone via pamphlets and the Internet, yet it seems ignorance is bliss.

My point is we shouldn’t put the total blame on our health-care system.

Long wait lists would also be reduced if

people took more responsibility for what they eat.

My complaint is also toward physicians who don’t or won’t become far more vocal toward food-processing companies that manufacture and sell unhealthy products in the first place.

I suppose if everyone became really healthy, the medical community would experience a drop in income.

STACKING THE CLOUDS

Kamloops This Week reader Gordon Gore captured this stunning lenticular cloud formation while pointing his camera south from The Dunes at Kamloops Golf Course on Friday afternoon.

Such cloud formations have been the subject of so-called UFO or flying saucer sightings due to their distinct shape.

Editor: I am wondering if anything is being done about the poor air quality in Kamloops.

While I was sleeping one night last week, the odour coming through the open window was so pungent that it woke me up.

This has happened a lot this year.

I live in Brocklehurst and really notice the pulp-mill smell and the haze over the valley and city.

This can’t be good for us.

A Kamloops man who avoided jail after killing his friend in a drunken crash in 2012 now stands accused of violating the driving ban he was handed in place of a prison term.

Sean Tomlin, 30, was charged with dangerous driving causing death and impaired driving causing death — both of which carry mandatory jail terms — following the May 26, 2012,

death of his friend, Ben Kirkey.

Tomlin had been drinking before he got behind the wheel of his truck to drive Kirkey, who had been injured in a shooting accident, to meet an ambulance.

Both men were among a group celebrating a stag at Scuitto Lake south of Barnhartvale.

Calling it “a truly exceptional case,” the Crown opted to drop the serious charges and accept a guilty plea to a lone count of dangerous driving.

In October 2014, Tomlin was placed on six months of house arrest and handed a two-year driving ban.

According to court documents, Tomlin has been charged with operating a motor vehicle while disqualified stemming from an incident in Vinsulla on March 3.

Tomlin is slated to stand trial on the charge in B.C. Supreme Court.

A date for that hearing has not yet been set.

Police discourage tactic From A1

Moskaluk cautioned against vigilante groups conducting elaborate investigations of alleged online sex predators.

“This work should be left to police officers who can do this in a controlled environment,” he said. “This way, evidence can be obtained to support charges, which is the best way to get dangerous offenders off our streets.”

Civilian investigations can actually harm criminal cases, Moskaluk said.

“We are always concerned when people decide to bypass law enforcement and take matters into their own hands,” he said. “When that happens, there is a risk that investigations can be jeopardized and key evidence can be lost.

“This activity is not something the RCMP would condone or recommend. Individuals who engage in this type of action can risk their personal safety or the safety of other youths and the community.”

When contacted by KTW, Johnston referred questions to his lawyer, Jeremy Jensen, who also took a crack at the vigilantes.

“It would be premature to offer any comment on a specific case that isn’t directly before the courts,” Jensen said.

“Mr. Johnston has not been charged.

“It’s also my understanding that the RCMP and other policing authorities have actively discouraged these types of vigilante sites as they elevate risk for everyone involved and they have the potential to compromise legitimate police investigations.”

B.C. Sheriff Service Insp.

Kent Gannon, head of the Kamloops sheriff office, referred questions about Johnston’s duty status to a media-relations office in Victoria. Calls to that office were not returned by press deadline.

Fishing shut down BAN ON TROUT ANGLING FOLLOWS CLOSURE OF SOCKEYE FISHERY The province has temporarily shut down fishing on Nicola River, Coldwater River and Spius Creek to help protect steelhead and other trout from health risks associated with rising water temperatures.

The closure will remain in effect until further notice.

It mirrors a federal steelhead closure on the same rivers.

When stream temperatures rise above 20

C, the mortality rate of catch-and-release trout increases.

Earlier this month, grim forecasts for return of sockeye on the Fraser River have shut down the annual First Nations inland fishery at Kamloops Lake for the first time in a decade.

The decision to leave fishing boats on dry land this year comes after the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans has already shut down

all sports and commercial fishing on the Lower Fraser River and Thompson areas.

The year marks a lowpoint in the four-year cycle of returning sockeye. But test fisheries and forecasts have come in far below expected low numbers.

The Pacific Salmon Commission now estimates as few as one million sockeye salmon will return to the Fraser River system.

WHL debate leads to court An Alberta truck driver accused of beating his girlfriend with a soup can over a period of hours in the cab of his rig as they drove through B.C. will have to wait until at least next month to learn his fate.

Ernie Horwath stood trial in Kamloops provincial court on Friday, charged with assault with a weapon.

His ex, who said she believed she was being “murdered,” was the Crown’s lone witness in the one-day trial.

Court heard they were travelling from Vancouver to Edmonton on Dec. 30, 2015, when an argument ensued over whether Western Hockey League players are paid athletes.

The woman told court she was suffering a migraine and trying to sleep in the truck’s bunk when Horwath pulled over and began to assault her.

“He came back and started hitting me, punching me,” she said. “Then

he’d go back to his seat and drive some more.”

The woman said she was struck with a soup can multiple times and began to record the incident on her cellphone because she was scared for her life.

“I thought he would kill me and maybe someone would see the video,” she said.

Court was shown a video clip recorded on her phone. In it, she pans to her face, which appears bruised.

The woman said she called 911 from the bunk and was met by police at a gas station in Kamloops, where she jumped out of the still-moving truck in the parking lot. Horwath denied beating his ex. He said she threw numerous food items at him while he drove.

Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand reserved his decision until Sept. 19 at the earliest.

Talks on energy, climate change and economy THE CANADIAN PRESS

BOSTON — The New England governors and Eastern Canadian premiers praised their working relationship yesterday as they wrapped up an annual meeting in Boston they described as a continuation of talks started last year on energy and climate change.

Prince Edward Island Premier Wade MacLauchlan said they expect to have a strategy ready by next year on how they can meet targets for greenhouse-gas reduction.

“We intend for that work to

continue at the officials level and it may well be that the governors and premiers will take some part in that between now and when we meet in 2017,’’ he said.

Last year, the premiers and governors committed to lowering greenhouse-gas reductions by 35 to 45 per cent of 1990 levels by 2030 and upwards of 85 per cent by 2050.

Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Dwight Ball said he took the opportunity to promote the Muskrat Falls hydro project, but the emphasis now is getting it completed.

“Our concern right now is

to finish this project, get it on schedule, and to get it on budget as best we can,’’ he said at the closing news conference.

Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker said green energy from Canada will play a big role in helping to reduce the use of traditional power sources.

“We are currently in the process of working with our colleagues from Connecticut and Rhode Island on a three-state procurement of hydro and wind from Canada, upstate New York and Maine which I think has the potential to help us to reduce our carbon footprint,’’ Baker said.

The governors avoided wading too deep into the conversation about the upcoming U.S. election, instead emphasizing the strong economic relationship between the New England states and eastern Canadian provinces.

“The value of these relationships are much bigger than any one person,’’ Baker said.

New Hampshire Gov. Margaret Wood Hassan — who is running for a seat in the Senate — went a bit further, when asked specifically about Donald Trump.

“I do think it is fair to say that Donald Trump does not reflect

the people or the ethos of my state,’’ she said, adding the election results should not impact the relationship between the states and provinces.

“The Canadian-American relationship is so strong, as you see represented here, when we remember what binds us together and what we have in common, we do great things together.’’

MacLauchlan said the premiers and governors will invite businesses from the six states and five provinces to next year’s meeting in Prince Edward Island in an effort to generate more trade.

Canadians charged in US$23-million cocaine case THE CANADIAN PRESS

SYDNEY, Australia — Three Canadian cruise ship passengers were charged with drug smuggling yesterday after police in Australia allegedly found 95 kilograms of cocaine in their cabin luggage.

The haul, valued at 31-million Australian dollars (US$23 million) was the largest seizure in Australia of narcotics carried by passengers of a cruise ship or airliner, Australian Border Force commander Tim Fitzgerald said.

Andre Tamine, 63, Isabelle Lagace, 28, and Melina Roberge, 22, were arrested

Sunday after the MS Sea Princess, operated by California-based Princess Cruises, berthed in Sydney.

The three did not enter pleas when they were charged in the Sydney Central Local Court with importing a commercial quantity of cocaine.

They face potential life sentences if convicted.

The trio will remain in custody until the next court appearance on Oct. 26.

The three Canadians had boarded the ship at the British port city of Southampton.

Police are investigating whether they boarded with the drugs or sourced them

from one of several South American ports the ship visited on its way to Australia.

On Sunday, Australian Border Force officers boarded the ship when it berthed in Sydney Harbour and, with the help of detector dogs, searched a number of passenger cabins.

Fitzgerald alleged 35 kilograms of cocaine were found in suitcases in a cabin the women shared and 60 kilograms of the drug were found in the man’s luggage in a separate cabin.

He thanked the U.S. Department of Homelands Security and the Canada Border Services Agency for helping identify the

three as “high-risk passengers’’ among the 1,800 on board.

Clive Murray, assistant commissioner of strategic border command with the Australian Border Force, said the incident was an example of international co-operation in the fight against international drug syndicates.

“These syndicates should be on notice that the Australian Border Force is aware of all of the different ways they attempt to smuggle drugs into our country and we are working with a range of international agencies to stop them,’’ he said.

Further arrests have not been ruled out.

NEB cancels first day of hearings GIUSEPPE VALIANTE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

MONTREAL — Protesters forced the cancellation yesterday of the first day of hearings in Montreal into TransCanada’s Energy East Pipeline project, with police making three arrests.

A spokesperson for the National Energy Board (NEB), the federal regulatory body reviewing the project, could not confirm as of Monday afternoon if Day 2 of the hearings would go ahead as planned today.

One man charged at the three NEB commissioners seated at the front of the room minutes before the hearings were set to begin, but was grabbed by security officers, allowing some time for them to flee.

“TransCanada will not pass,’’ he

793 NOTRE DAME DR. 250.374.3960 www.fiestamexicana.ca

screamed as police dragged him away from the downtown conference room.

A 44-year-old man and 29-year-old woman were charged with obstruction and released, while a 35-year-old man was charged with obstruction and assaulting a police officer and remained detained as of yesterday afternoon.

Police originally said the 44-year-old was also charged with assault.

Montreal Mayor Denis Coderre, along with the mayor of nearby Laval and other municipal representatives, walked out of the hearings not long after the demonstrators charged in.

Coderre was the first person scheduled to give testimony, but chose instead to leave, calling the protests a “masquerade.’’

He and many provincial politicians and First Nations groups oppose TransCanada’s

“There are too many problems we are witnessing to accept the project,’’ Coderre told reporters after he decided to leave the hearings.

“We’re saying the project [TransCanada] presented is wrong, it’s bad and we don’t have the answers. And, frankly, one of the main issues is contingency plans, everything regarding safety.’’

Coderre asked last week for the hearings to be suspended after media reports revealed that two of the three NEB commissioners overseeing the review process met former Quebec premier Jean Charest, who was at the time a lobbyist for TransCanada.

He said he wasn’t calling for the commissioners to resign, but that there was a perception of bias.

Nonetheless, Coderre said it was important for him to give testimony in order for the NEB and the rest of the country to appreciate the concerns of local citizens.

Federal Natural Resources Minister Jim Carr said the review process is designed to hear from Canadians.

“Whatever their point of view might be, we think they should all have a right to say it,’’ Carr said in Edmonton. “And if there were circumstances that didn’t allow people to speak on a very important national subject, I’m sorry about that.’’

Wine on Save-On shelves by Thanksgiving?

Construction of wine vendor inside Sahali grocery retailer underway with plans to feature local wineries ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

B

y the time Kamloops shoppers head out to collect this year’s holiday turkeys, they’ll also have the option of picking up a bottle of vino just a few aisles away.

After a turbulent approval process at City Hall, Overwaitea Food Group director of wines Steve Moriarty said the Sahali Save-On Foods is on track to open its wine section in early October.

“I’m pretty confident we’ll be selling wine before Thanksgiving,” Moriarty said.

Using a VQA wine licence purchased from the nowclosed Discover Wines, the Sahali store plans to offer about 1,000 B.C. wines.

(VQA wines are regulated by the B.C. Wine Institute, and must be produced from 100 per cent B.C. grapes and pass a panel taste-test.)

The section will resemble those the company has already opened in Kelowna and the Lower Mainland, and will have a dedicated team of staff who are able to make recommendations to customers. Moriarty said he expects the team will be slightly larger than the staff originally in place at Discover Wines.

Preparations are already underway at the store, located in the Columbia Place shopping centre where a section of aisles have been curtained off in preparation for wines.

Moriarty said the current job for staff is to find ways

to make room within the store.

“Right now it’s like a giant puzzle,” he said.

“Everything needs to be restructured so we can fit all of the current products that we have in there, in addition to the additional square footage we need for the wine department. It’s like rearranging the furniture.”

Bringing wine to its shelves hasn’t been a straightforward process for the company.

Its first attempt to gain permission from Kamloops city council was shot down for being overly broad — in addition to VQA wines, the language initially given to city hall included for B.C. cider produces, sake and meads in the store’s product mix, though company and B.C. Wine Institute representatives have said those would not have been allowed with a VQA licence.

City councillors also raised concerns about health impacts from increased alcohol presence in the community and the store’s effect on nearby government and private liquor stores, which opposed the wine section.

When the store tightened its application earlier this summer, council agreed to let it proceed.

DAVE EAGLES/KTW This construction site in the middle of the Save-On Foods store at Columbia Place — near the frozen food section not far from the till area — will soon be home to a wine vendor. An official with the Overwaitea Food Group said the plan is to have the wine section open in October.

Moriarty said the company is happy to be moving ahead.

“We’re candid that we’re

thankful and it’s a great opportunity for us, and we’re looking forward to selling British Columbia

locally produced wine in that store, and we know our customers are supportive of it,” he said.

The store will likely kick off the new section with a promotion featuring Kamloops wines.

BUSINESS Index funds increasingly popular

SHOULD WE INVEST ACTIVELY OR PASSIVELY?

C

ould you imagine going into a grocery store and buying one of everything on the shelves?

All good stuff and I am sure you would enjoy the adventure and discover all sorts new and wonderful foods.

It could be a little tough getting it all into our cupboards.

As we are experiencing the early stages of automated banking and robo advisors, the topic of indexing continually comes back to the forefront in the investment world.

For those of you who have not been exposed to index funds, they are funds or pools designed to mimic a stock market index.

ing companies are doing.

If everyone is actively managing, then the market should be at fair value and the index would be cheaper.

In reality, it is more of a spectrum because there are both active and passive managers out there and the market is never 100 per cent either way.

Indexing is definitely becoming more popular.

Vanguard manages approximately US$3.5 trillion and grows by more than US$1 billion a day and it is not even the largest (Blackrock is).

Some of the index funds are getting so large they create another interesting situation.

It is estimated Vanguard owns around five per cent of every US public company.

index, so why try?

Just buy the index and sit back.

Being raised and educated in the active investment world, this has always seemed a little foreign to me.

It always made sense to go out, research and invest in companies that had more value than their trading price.

I was having a chat with a colleague about this recently when we came upon a simple theory around this.

Want to invest in the Toronto Stock Exchange? You can buy the index fund that buys all 300 stocks.

There are all sorts of derivations, but we will leave it at this for now.

The index fund was pretty much fathered

by John Bogle and his firm Vanguard 40 years ago.

Many indexers believe active investors can’t meet/beat the performance of the

If everyone is investing passively (index funds), then we would invest actively.

If everyone is investing actively, then buy the index.

The argument goes that if everyone is buying the index, there should be substantial opportunities for the active manager because the index does not discriminate.

Everything goes up or down with the market regardless of how well the underly-

If the trends continue, how long will it be until they begin to influence and/or direct the companies they own?

In the world of portfolio management, I still lean toward active investing.

Indexing has its place but for now, as one of my portfolio manager buddies put it, “Would you buy every business on Victoria Street?”

No. Many of us would have differing opinions as to which businesses are doing well and which are not.

Room for another discussion would be our biases to those businesses.

Just because we love a store does not mean it does well.

We will use index funds from time to time but simply from

a risk-management perspective.

A smaller (around five per cent) exposure has shown to reduce the overall volatility of a client’s portfolio.

As with anything, it is all about balance.

Keg to close downtown tomorrow STAFF REPORTER

The Keg in the historic CN Railway Station building in downtown Kamloops is closing this week. The franchise operated in the city for more than 40 years.

KTW FILE PHOTO

Locals will notice a Keg-sized hole in the restaurant scene come Thursday.

The steakhouse in the historic CN Railway Station in downtown Kamloops is closing tomorrow.

“Everyone’s sad, very sad, but it’s just kind of one of those things,” said owner Mike Culos.

Since the June announcement of the closure, Culos said the restaurant has been busy.

He said customers are sad to see the restaurant shut its doors for good, leaving the franchise without a location in Kamloops after more than 40

for $1 in exchange for the tax revenue generated by a private owner. The building has a covenant on its title protecting its historic value and alterations require city approval.

With the restaurant closure, the building is listed for sale at $1.5 million.

“We’re not going to do anything with it right now,” Culos said.

“We still think the best thing is to sell it to someone who wants to make it a restaurant.”

Culos noted several renovations done 15 years ago and said the building would also be appropriate

years in operation.

When KTW spoke with Culos associate Fred Marin in June, he said the decision to close came after attempts to renegotiate a franchise agreement

fell through.

He said a 10-yearfranchise agreement expired three years ago and new Keg branding had since come into effect, making the “old style” Kamloops

location virtually obsolete and in need of upgrades.

“We were not prepared to do the things required to bring it up to Keg standards and the Keg was not

prepared to allow us to continue without doing those upgrades,” Marin said in June.

The City of Kamloops sold the historic train station to Culos Group in 2013

for an engineering or accounting firm.

“There’s been people poking around and having a look, but nothing we can put on paper,” Culos said.

The development company is based in Kelowna but has worked in Kamloops for 25 years, including revitalizing Lorne Street and its current Landmark project across from Thompson Rivers University.

The Keg has restaurants across Canada and in five U.S. states.

Anyone with outstanding gift cards may use them at other locations, such as in Kelowna and in the Lower Mainland.

Teck Resources ‘disappointed’ with court order to pay $8.3M Ruling comes after environmental contamination in Washington IAN BICKIS

THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Vancouver-based Teck Resources says it’s “disappointed’’ with a U.S. District Court ruling ordering it to pay US$8.25 million in legal costs, as part a long-running legal battle over environmental contamination in Washington State.

The company declined to say if it would appeal the latest ruling, but said it’s “reviewing the implications with counsel.’’

The ruling filed earlier this month by U.S. District Court Judge Lonny Suko orders the company to cover the legal and investigation costs that the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation have spent trying to prove that Teck contaminated their waterways.

The same judge ruled in 2012 that Teck was liable for costs of cleaning up contamination in the Upper Columbia River.

Suko said the company knew for decades that the grainy, heavy-metal-laden byproduct of its Trail smelter was flowing 10 kilometres downriver into the U.S. and was likely to cause harm.

This latest ruling awards the

Colville Tribes, representing 12 tribes in Washington State, US$4.86 million in legal costs and US$3.4 million in investigation and expert analysis, plus interest — with some costs going back as far as 1999 when members started appealing to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to investigate the contamination.

Final costs of any cleanup, estimated to be $1 billion, have not been agreed to.

The Colville Tribes said in a statement that there shouldn’t be any delay in the cleanup of the roughly nine-million tonnes of slag released between 1930 to 1995, which blackened the shores of the Upper Columbia River.

“The river is the natural resource and cultural lifeblood of the Colville Tribes and must be protected and restored,’’ they said.

“It is critical that the sediments in the Upper Columbia be cleaned up to assure returning fish have the chance to thrive in a healthy river environment.

Only cleanup will create that opportunity.’’

Teck spokesman Chris Stannell said in an email that the

company and its affiliates have spent over $75 million studying the potential risks to human health and the environment on the river from historic operations at the smelter, as part of a settlement reached with the U.S. EPA. He said that results to date show water quality is better than standards in both the U.S. and Canada and fish are as safe to eat as those from any other water body in the state of Washington.

Last year, the company completed cleaning up 14 residential properties that had soil contaminated with lead and arsenic.

That agreement also called for Teck to clean up, at a later date, at least three Colville tribal allotments that showed high levels of contaminants.

Additionally, the company has invested $1.5 billion to modernize and optimize the Trail smelter.

But it has still been the source of several major leaks in recent years, including 25,000 litres of lead refinery solution released into the ground in 2011 and a similar amount of chemical solution released into the Columbia River in 2014.

U.S. court revives lawsuit against Vancouver reseller of Trader Joe’s THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN FRANCISCO — A U.S. federal appeals court has revived a trademark lawsuit by grocery chain Trader Joe’s against a Vancouver man who purchases the company’s products and resells them in the city’s Kitsilano neighbourhood at a store called Pirate Joe’s.

The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court

of Appeals ruled Friday that a district court in Washington did have the authority to hear the lawsuit’s federal trademark claims even though the defendant, Michael Hallatt, does not sell the products in the United States.

U.S. Circuit Judge Morgan Christen said Hallatt’s conduct could harm Trader Joe’s reputation, decreasing the value of its

American-held trademarks.

Christen also pointed out that Hallatt buys the Trader Joe’s goods he resells in Washington state.

The Ninth Circuit overturned part of a lower court ruling dismissing the suit.

In 2012, Hallatt began taking weekly trips to Trader Joe’s in Bellingham and buying items to resell in Vancouver.

Receiver Brody Bernier goes deep and makes the catch for Kamloops Broncos’ lone touchdown against the Vancouver Island Raiders Saturday night at Hillside Stadium.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

RAIDERS CRIPPLE BRONCOS’ PLAYOFF HOPES MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

It was Emergency Services Appreciation Night, but not even the paramedics on hand could rescue the Kamloops Broncos’ playoff pulse on Saturday.

The Broncos held a 10-point lead at halftime, but were held off the scoreboard in the second half and the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo escaped with a 16-13 victory on a drizzly, dark night at Hillside Stadium.

“I don’t know what happened to us,” Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka said. “I think we stopped playing and got down on ourselves after a few botched plays.

“It’s not understanding how to get ourselves out of those holes.

It’s part of being young.”

With one minute remaining on the clock in the fourth quarter, Vancouver Island took possession after Kamloops failed to move the ball on offence, continuing the two-and-out trend that plagued the home team throughout the second half.

Raiders’ quarterback Jake Laberge connected with Brycen Mayoh through the air for a first down and, on the next play, running back Nathan Berg busted a lengthy run to put VI in field-goal position.

James Parker booted the game-winning 18-yard field goal with 19 seconds left on the clock.

“We’re lucky to come out of here with a win, but we’re very happy,” Raiders’ head coach Jerome Erdman said.

The Broncos dropped to 0-6 on the B.C. Football Conference campaign and will need a miracle to reach the post-season.

Vancouver Island (3-3) holds the fourth-and-final playoff position and won both meetings against Kamloops this season.

Remaining on the Broncos’ schedule are two games against the Valley Huskers, also 0-6, and one each against the Westshore Rebels (5-1) of Langford and Langley Rams (4-2).

“It sucks,” said Broncos’ receiver Brody Bernier, who scored his team’s only touchdown. “I

SEPTEMBER 9, 2016 Modified Scramble Registration: 8:30am - 10:30am Shot Gun Start: 11:00am Sharp The Dunes at Kamloops

thought we had a good chance to take it from them. Losing close ones is always tough.”

Both teams missed field goals in the first quarter as fans in attendance waited for something to cheer for and shielded themselves from intermittent rain with umbrellas.

Anthony Arduini put Kamloops on the board with a 22-yard field goal early in the second quarter and the Broncos’ D shut down the Raiders on the next drive.

Quarterback Colby Henkel thanked his defence by throwing a long bomb to Brody Bernier, who was wide open and cruised in for the game’s first major.

to give Kamloops a 10-0 lead.

Parker’s 44-yard field goal accounted for the Raiders’ only points of the first half and the Broncos’ defence continued to make plays.

Casey Powell and Oso Okojie took turns stamping out Raiders’ drives by sacking Laberge and Jordan Angove showed incredible hand-eye co-ordination in making an interception.

But the Broncos — who abandoned their ineffective run game early in the contest — only turned those big plays into three points, another Arduini field goal, and would eventually pay for their lack of killer instinct.

WolfPack stun Vikes, blow lead to T-Birds ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

On Saturday afternoon, Justin Donaldson made no attempt to hide his frustration with Thompson Rivers WolfPack’s loss.

On Sunday afternoon, he made sure it wouldn’t happen again.

Donaldson had three first-half goals against the Victoria Vikes on Sunday at Hillside Stadium, leading the Wolves to a 4-0 win against the Canada West’s 2015 silver medallists.

The victory came just 24 hours after Thompson Rivers collapsed and blew a 1-0 first-half lead against the Canada West defending-champion UBC Thunderbirds, eventually losing the home-opener 2-1.

“We all should be upset that we lost,” Donaldson said Saturday.

“We’re coming out this year to battle every team, we’re not coming in to just get points.

We want to win every game. If someone is not upset on our team, they really should be because we came out hard today.”

Donaldson scored the WolfPack’s only goal against the T-Birds and channelled his T H E

frustration to get his club off to an early start on Sunday against the Vikes.

The 22-year-old, who himself played two seasons in Victoria for the Vikes, scored in the seventh minute of Sunday’s contest, firing home a pass from the WolfPack’s Ryan Glanville to get his club on the board.

Donaldson would score again in the 31st and 43rd minutes, his second goal a I N T E R I O R ’ S

rocket from 25 yards out and the hat-trick marker a header on a Mitch Popadynetz corner kick, to put the game out of reach for Victoria.

Recognized by both his teammates and coaches as the most impressive player in the Pack’s pre-season training camp, the Kamloops product carried his strong play into his first regular-season weekend in the black and orange.

L A K E ,

“Obviously, for him to come in as a new player in our program and start contributing immediately is fantastic,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov said of Donaldson.

“There seems to be good chemistry happening between our

front four, front five guys.”

The weekend through the Interior was a tough one for both the Thunderbirds and the Vikes. Victoria headed back to the Island with an 0-2 record, falling to the UBC-Okanagan Heat

before getting shelled by the WolfPack.

The T-Birds, meanwhile, needed a second-half comeback to defeat the Wolves and played to a draw the following afternoon against the Heat.

Antulov said the weekend was an indi-

cator the Vikes had lost some key players, but also that Thompson Rivers and UBCOkanagan are closing the gap on the traditional powerhouses.

“Victoria is going to be there at the end,” he said of the Vikes.

“I think we’re going to get better as well. I think we’ve improved, but we still have a long way to go and to improve.”

With road matches this weekend against the Fraser Valley Cascades (0-0) and the Trinity Western Spartans (2-0), Antulov said it’s still too early to say the WolfPack has put the Canada West on notice.

Another solid weekend may change that.

“Our division is so tough and so tight, you could have one great weekend now, but you have to be able to back it up the next weekend,” Antulov said.

“The two teams we’re playing this weekend are no slouches either. They’re not going to take us lightly and we’re not going to take them lightly. It’s going to be a battle.”

Back to School

Are they vaccinated?

Ministry of Health reminds parents to immunize As families prep for back to school, the Ministry of Health is reminding parents to make sure their children’s vaccines are up to date.

“By kindergarten or Grade 1, children should have received booster shots that protect against measles, polio, chicken pox, whooping cough and more, and kids in grades 6 and 9 should receive follow-up vaccinations,” said Dr. Bonnie Henry.

“These immunizations are all part of B.C.’s free, routine immunization program.

“As well, starting this year, students in Grade 9 will be further protected against more types of meningitis with a new quadrivalent vaccine booster, which protects against meningococcal infection caused by strains A, Y, and W-135, alongside C.”

While vaccine preventable diseases “ seem like a distant memory, we still see outbreaks in under-immunized — Dr. Bonnie Henry. communities.

”

Henry said there is help available to parents to make the process easier.

Visit immunizebc.ca to find the closest publichealth unit, create a personalized vaccination calendar and get appointment reminders.

Immunize Canada has developed a free app to help parents track immunizations. It also provides alerts on disease outbreaks in the area.

Download it at http:// immunize.ca/en/app.aspx.

“Nurses at local public health units can check records for any missing immunizations, administer routine shots and provide vaccination records for parents to provide to

schools,” Henry said.

“Immunization records are extremely helpful to school and public health personal in determining who may need to stay home during an outbreak.

“While vaccine preventable diseases seem like a distant memory, we still see outbreaks in underimmunized communities.

“Diseases like whooping cough and measles can spread very quickly, have major health implications and can be fatal for babies.

“I know this is a busy time of year, but keeping your kids’ shots up-to-date is an important step in getting ready for back-toschool. And it could be lifesaving.”

ST. ANN’S ACADEMY ESTABLISHED 1880 The St. Ann’s Childcare Centre is now offering three different programs for children ages 2½ to 12 years, including a licensed daycare, preschool, and before/after school care!

Back to School SCHOOL LUNCHES: BIG-BATCH SPEEDY SQUARE MEATBALLS Adapted from Canada Beef by registered dietitian Carol Harrison, yummylunchclub.ca.

1 kg (2 lb) lean ground beef 2 eggs, lightly beaten 250 ml (1 cup) dry breadcrumbs (preferably whole wheat) 150 ml (2/3 cup) each of finely grated carrot and finely diced onion 15 ml (1 tbsp) Worcestershire sauce 2 ml (1/2 tsp) each of salt and pepper

THE FIRST MONTH IS

FREE!

Prep time: 30 minutes Cook time: 30 minutes

Low Single and Family Rates Ages 5 to Adult ~ Families can train together

With supervision, children can wash, peel and grate carrots and attempt to fine dice onions, too. Remind children 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 two 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.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22

Aries, once you have your mind set on something, it is hard to get you to think about anything else. This dedication can be an asset at work in the days ahead.

Taurus, you are in good spirits this week and it could be due to some good news that provides you with extra energy. Tackle some tasks at hand and then have fun

Libra, recognize that some things are beyond your control, no matter how hard you try to influence the outcomes. Do your best and things will work out for you.

Scorpio, sometimes the best way to help someone is to refrain from offering advice and let him or her work it out. This week you’ll be put to the test in this line of thinking.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 2

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18

Gemini, it may be time for a change of scenery, especially if you feel like you need recharging.

Plan a getaway that allows you to unwind free of distractions.

Accept help when it is offered, Cancer. Doing so will considerably cut down on your workload and put you in a better frame of mind. Someone has a proposition that’s promising.

Leo, though you often enjoy being the center of attention, you will enjoy a much-needed break from the limelight in coming days. Use the time to reflect.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22

Virgo, when a job opportunity pops up, jump on it without delay. This could be the break you’re looking for, so don’t pass up the opportunity to get on board.

Sagittarius, do your best to address a financial issue in the weeks ahead. It may take some time, but use this week to lay the groundwork for your future financial security.

Capricorn, a pleasant surprise has you wanting to share good news with anyone and everyone.

However, it may be wise to keep things hush-hush for a while until you know all the details.

There’s no time like the present to perform a self-analysis in an effort to better yourself, Aquarius. Expect the support of family as you look to make positive changes.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, positive thinking and taking action can help you overcome difficult obstacles. Good news is coming your way.

CRITTERS

Here are two groups of imaginary critters.

Group one consists of the ferocious: reamble, nozgot, jeret, plogleno, ugluckon.

Group two consists of the rather meek: friddert, stardby, enstalbgir, apprin, ytterinkob.

What do the critters in group one have that the critters in group two do not have? (It has to do with their name words.)

Vivian Isabelle Weller (nee Kunst) May 17, 1934 – August 24, 2016

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Vivian Isabelle Weller (nee Kunst) of Kamloops at 82 years of age.

Vivian is survived by her loving husband of more than 60 years Richard (Dick) and their children Victoria (Christian Martinez) Weller, Dana (Marcel) Gibeault and David (Elizabeth) Weller, and their grandchildren Chelsea and Dakota Martinez and Christopher and Sean Weller and best friends George and Chris Hart. She is predeceased by her mother Anna Kunst.

Vivian was born in Winnipeg and as a young woman she moved to Toronto where she worked for Tamblyn Drugs as a comptometer operator, and met and married Richard. All three children were born in Toronto and in 1969 the family moved to Kamloops where Richard and Vivian owned and operated Living Lighting at the new Thompson Park Mall. Later Vivian opened The Panhandler/Rafters in Sahali Mall. Good times included picnicking at The Maples, renting cottages at Ingolf and other Ontario lakes, taking trips to Hawaii, touring England and enjoying the backyard pool with family and friends.

Special thanks to Vital Air, Dr. Anders, Dr. Bishop, the nurses throughout Royal Inland Hospital and in particular those on 3rd Floor West, and our wonderful neighbours in Arbutus Heights.

Vivian loved cats and memorial donations may be made to the SPCA. A Celebration of Life will take place at a later date.

Pennies From Heaven

by Charles L. Mashburn 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.
