Sun Rivers Golf Course to be sold LOWER ANNUAL FEES PLANNED, ALONG WITH NEW SIX-HOLE PAR-3 COURSE

ROMANCING THE STONES

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and Transportation Minister Todd Stone and wife Chantelle won the third annual Dancing Like the Stars fundraiser Saturday night at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre. The gala was held to raise money for the rapid access breast-health clinic at Royal Inland Hospital. The Stones learned their nifty dance moves under the guidance of Nuance Dance Studio. Four other couples also competed. Turn to page A12 for more photos and information from the night.

An investment group that has signed a letter of intent to purchase Sun Rivers Golf Course will lower annual fees in a bid to double membership. Bill Amy, an investor and spokesman for Ranchero Enterprises, said that is just one of the changes the prospective owners plan for Sun Rivers. Sun Rivers Partners announced yesterday it has a pending sale agreement with Ranchero Enterprises to sell the golf course and associated Hoodoos Restaurant. The sale price was not announced. The 53-hectare (130-acre golf) course was recently listed by Colliers International for $4 million. Investors plan an expansion that includes a six-hole par-3 golf course, pickleball courts and a renovated Hoodoos restaurant and sand bunkers. “We think we can turn Sun Rivers into something fantastic,” said Amy,

who has a background in marketing and retired to Kamloops from the Lower Mainland eight years ago. The six-hole course is unusual in Canada, but is a growing trend in the United States, Amy said. It is aimed at busy families, children and professionals in a hurry. It will have three different tee boxes at each hole, in theory allowing 18 holes on the short course. “Demographics of golf haven’t changed. Demographics of families has changed,” Amy said. “That’s one of the reasons we’re building a six-hole par-3 and will have a strong teaching program. We want to entice families.” The company is purchasing what Amy described as “slivers” of land from Sun Rivers Partners to fit in the new short course. Sun Rivers has about 200 members today, a number the prospective ownership group wants to double for next year. It will do that in part by lowering membership fees. The price for green fees will not decrease. See IMPROVEMENTS, A4

ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW Since the city’s new treatment plant opened in 2014, the decommissioned, cement-lined sewage lagoon has become a holding site for the treated sewage sludge produced during several stages of the treatment process. What happens to the material remains to be decided.

Waste not? City to decide fate of sludge ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

At first glance, the field of black soil behind one of the buildings at the Kamloops Wastewater Treatment Plant on Mission Flats wouldn’t necessarily catch the eye. A few tomato plants grow along its edges as seeds can’t be treated by the facility and, while most are strained out early on, tomatoes have sprouted up in several parts of the site. Otherwise, there’s little indication of the material’s origin. Since the city’s new treatment plant opened in 2014, the decommissioned, cement-lined sewage lagoon has become a holding site for the treated sewage sludge produced during several stages of the treatment process. But what the future holds for the approximately 70,000 cubic metres of sludge is still unclear. Public works director Jen Fretz said the city has several options, but must decide whether to keep the solids for its own use or pay someone to take them away and use them elsewhere.

“I can’t help but think keeping it here and doing something productive with it would be the best thing, as opposed to paying somebody to take a valuable resource away,” she said. That option would come with some costs. While the solids have been treated by the plant’s millions of micro-organisms, which use organic materials in the sludge for food, the biosolids would need further processing before they would be suitable for city use, Fretz said. That could mean composting the solids with other organics, a practice other B.C. communities have already taken up. Kelowna and Vernon send their solids to a regional compost facility, where they are mixed with wood ash and wood waste to form the growing medium OgoGrow. The city of Penticton also offers its composted biosolids for public sale. Other options include pelletizing or a gasification process. In all cases, Fretz said, the city would need to spend money to use its waste. While the city hired a consultant to come

DRAW DATE: OCT. 4TH

up with a biosolids strategy when the treatment plant first opened, Fretz said the results weren’t successful. Instead, staff plan to spend the next 18 months looking at options and determining what would offer the best long-term benefit. The review will include paying to have the solids taken away. Fretz said she’s also planning to speak with local businesses to learn what ideas they may have for the material. “There’s so many different options and they’ll all be expensive because there’s infrastructure required to do what we need to do with it,” she said. “So, rather than make a shortsighted decision that will impact us long term, we’re going to try to go through this value engineering process and see what’s best.” In the meantime, the lagoon is filling up. While another decommissioned lagoon is available, Fretz said it’s more likely the city will pay to have some of the solids trucked out. The sludge would most likely be used in a land application somewhere — agricultural and mining reclamation uses are common.

speaking Safe-injection site on city LOCAL NEWS

Tooth Sensitivity!

F A SUMMER ICE cream or a sweet cold pop this summer sends twinges up your spine... you likely suffer from one of the most Dr. Preety Desai common dental pains: tooth sensitivity. There are many causes of sensitivity but they all result in the outer tough enamel coating of the tooth crown being worn or destroyed, exposing the inner sensitive part of the tooth: the dentin, which has tubules and channels filled with nerves. Whether the sensitivity begins gradually and you ignore it until you can’t anymore or it begins with a broken tooth or a cavity and you HAVE to deal with it - common sense precipitates that treatment sooner rather than later is cheaper, easier and less invasive. Treatment of tooth sensitivity is dictated by how you got there in the first place:

council agenda today and street drugs they have obtained in advance under trained medical supervision — opened in the Tournament Capital before the end of the year. “Given that Kamloops is one of the largest communities in Interior Health and data from the B.C. Coroners Service indicates an increasingly high number of overdose deaths in the community, we feel Kamloops could potentially benefit from a safe consumption service,” Mema wrote in a letter to council. Mema noted there were 22 overdose deaths in the city in the first half of 2016, compared to seven deaths in all of 2015.

City council will get its chance today to weigh in on a plan to bring a safeinjection site to Kamloops. Dr. Silvina Mema, a medical health officer with Interior Health, will appear before council this afternoon to talk about the health authority’s efforts to deal with the rising number of drug overdoses in the region. Mema previously told KTW she hopes to see a safe-injection site — where users could take both prescription

She said Interior Health wants to locate the site alongside an existing service that works with people who could benefit from safe consumption services. “It would not be a standalone consumption site,” she wrote. Mema said council won’t be asked to weigh in on the issue today. However, when Interior Health applies for an exception to section 56 of the federal Controlled Drugs and Substances Act — which is required to set up a safe-injection site — councillors will be asked to pen a letter stating their opinion and any health and safety concerns about the plan. The 53-hectare (130-acre) Sun Rivers Golf Course was listed for sale at $4 million last year. The final price to be paid for the course and Hoodoos restaurant by Ranchero Enterprises has not been revealed. KTW FILE PHOTO

a) The drive to have super white hollywood teeth using whitening agents, is a major cause of short term sensitivity as the bleach leaches into the enamel but also reaches the dentin filled with nerves in the canals b) Periodontal disease is the main cause of dental sensitivity, resulting in bone loss followed by gum recession exposing the dentin again - obviously we have talked at length about gum disease treatment with laser earlier rather than later c) Excessive clenching, grinding or aggressive toothbrushing with and without an electric toothbrush causes gum recession independent of gum disease - today we can cover recessed teeth and get back some of what mother nature put there to cover the tooth’s dentin - the alternative is covering this dentin with white fillings but this plastic needs to be replaced and is invasive, unnatural and stains just like teeth do d) Short term fixes like desensitizing toothpastes need reapplication as the active desensitizing ingredient wears away - it is better to apply this toothpaste via finger tip to the sensitive surface as opposed to brushing with it.... you will find it abrasive and this is contradictory to relieving your sensitivity e) Finally the least invasive method of treatment is low level laser therapy (LLLT) as it works to heal and desensitize the dentin from inside out and “calms” the dentinal nerves but repeat episodes may be necessary - in the long run this is the best and least invasive. So if you suffer from even slight twinges of sensitivity - talk to your periodontist and dentist as treatment is cheaper and easier the earlier you seek it out.

Langley man due back in court on robbery charges TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A man described by police as a serial bank robber linked to crimes across Western Canada is expected to enter guilty pleas later this month to charges stemming from multiple holdups. Shaun Cornish was slated to plead guilty to seven counts in a Kamloops courtroom yesterday, but his lawyer asked for more time to deal with additional charges recently laid. Cornish was arrested on Jan. 30, 2015, at a hotel in Grande Prairie, Alta., two days after a bank robbery in nearby Dawson Creek, B.C.

The 28-year-old Langley native has been charged in relation to at least nine bank robberies spanning B.C., Alberta and Saskatchewan. The charges to which Cornish was scheduled to plead guilty yesterday related to robberies in Merritt, Vernon, Princeton and Aldergrove between December 2014 and January 2015. Cornish is also facing three charges stemming from the alleged Dawson Creek robbery on Jan. 28, 2015, as well as multiple charges in communities across Alberta and Saskatchewan. He is due back in court on Sept. 26 to set a date for a new hearing, at which guilty pleas are expected to be entered.

Hearing to determine if criminally responsible TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An Ashcroft man who beat his uncle to death two years ago may not be held criminally responsible for murder. Lawyers have scheduled a one-day hearing to determine whether Shane Gyoba should escape criminal sanction for the crime

due to a mental disorder. In June, after B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley found that the Crown had proven Gyoba killed his uncle, Ed, an assessment was ordered to determine whether the killer should be held responsible under Canada’s NCRMD (not criminally responsible by way of a mental disorder)

legislation. An assessment of Gyoba’s psychiatric state is ongoing and the hearing will take place on Nov. 29. Ed Gyoba was beaten to death in the front yard of his Aschroft home on June 2, 2014. During Shane Gyoba’s trial, he made frequent outbursts and threatened the judge and lawyers.

Police seek teenaged boy Kamloops Mounties are asking for the public’s help in finding a 15-year-old boy.

He has blond hair and was last seen wearing a black baseball cap, a black sweater, sweatpants and carrying a black backpack. Anybody with information on his whereabouts is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000.

Sarah Ross has had what she describes as an emotional summer. Her family’s home in Lumby burned down a few months ago and they have been living in a rental unit since. However, Ross’ summer is ending a positive note after winning the guaranteed $1-million prize in the Sept. 7 Lotto 6/49 draw. “It’s been an emotional time,” Ross said. “Our family and community have been so supportive throughout the summer. We’re very thankful.” Ross said she was on ‘“cloud nine” after checking her ticket. She quickly called her husband with the amazing news and is excited to tell her children next about the big win. “The first things I bought after winning Lotto 6/49 were stuffed animals for my kids,” Ross said with a laugh. “This is exciting because, when the time comes, we can help them with university.” The winning ticket was purchased at the Pharmasave on 30th Avenue in Vernon. Lotto 6/49 is a nationwide lottery game drawn on Wednesdays and Saturdays after 7:30 p.m. Kamloops time. Each draw includes a guaranteed prize draw of $1 million.

Jail time for weapons offences CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A 45-year-old man caught with a Taser-type weapon, gunpowder and shotgun shells in his home has been sentenced to a further four months in jail. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Keith Bracken acquitted Steven Bartkowski, 45, of four weapons-related charges related to a sawed-off rifle and stolen revolver found inside a duffel bag. But Bracken convicted Bartkowski of possession of a prohibited weapon (a Taser-type device shaped like a set of brass knuckles found in the suite) and for possessing a weapon or firearm (the gunpowder and shells) when he was prohibited from doing so under a lifetime ban. Acting on a tip regarding a mid-level drug operation, police raided the Chestnut Avenue basement suite in March 2014.

They found only trace amounts of drugs in the North Kamloops home. Bracken ruled the Crown did not prove beyond a reasonable doubt Bartkowski had knowledge and control of the contents of the duffel bag found in the furnace room. No fingerprints were found on the guns or duffel bag. The Taser-type weapon was not charged and no charging device was found in the home, what police described as a cluttered and chaotic drug house. No firearm matched the shotgun shells. While Bartkowski had a troubled childhood and has only a Grade 3 education, Bracken called him “an intelligent and capable man.” Bartkowski has worked as a heavy-equipment operator. He has a criminal record dating to 1983 that includes a 12-year sentence for manslaughter.

Defence lawyer Don Campbell said Bartkowski is drug-free for the first time since he acquired an opiate addiction when jailed in the late 1990s. Bartkowski spent about seven-and-a-half months awaiting trial. The Crown asked for a further 11 to 17 months in prison, while defence lawyer Don Campbell argued for 90 more days, to be served on weekends while Bartkowski otherwise lives at a recovery house. “I suspect it’s possible the accused can change his past lifestyle if he has help and, most importantly, chooses to do so,” Bracken said. The sentencing judge said the additional four-month prison sentence will give Bartkowski time to carefully map out his recovery and work plan once released from jail. He will also serve 18 months probation.

USE SEPTEMBER TO RECHARGE

ost people think of September as a time for back-toschool, the time when children put away their flipflops and beach gear and don their new clothes for the classroom. September can be a time for all of us to take a fresh look at where we’re at and where we want to go. Unlike the New Year, this point in the calendar year comes when the weather is still nice enough to be inspiring and offers numerous opportunities to get out into nature while planning for the coming weeks and months. (Check out the 10-day forecast for Kamloops, which is about as splendid as it gets in this marvelous month. Then compare it to Edmonton, which was issued a frost warning last night) When we look at September, it’s not just a month when the kids are returning to school. Many adults, young and not-so-young, are preparing to get back to hitting the books at our post-secondary and alternative-education centres. And organizations such as the City of Kamloops and community interest and activity groups are getting ready to launch their new programs and seasons (many of which can be found in the City of Kamloops and YMCA-YWCA fall guides, published and distributed by KTW). It truly is a time for renewal, whether it means cleaning up the flower beds and gardens and putting in those fall plantings, or getting back into a sports league or running group after relaxing or spending time away during the summer. The weather is changing, albeit slowly, as it gradually tries to remind us fall is around the corner—which it is. And September is a wonderful month to restart.

Safe-injection debate begins

his past weekend featured the annual Sagebrush neighborhood garage sale and membership drive. What a great time to meet neighbours and friends, and watch a bit of pickleball in the refurbished Cowan park courts. I still haven’t tried pickleball, but it looks like fun. What’s up elsewhere in town? A discussion of safe-injection sites, for one (beginning at today’s council meeting). Most I spoke with said we need to do something as the drug waste of needles and condoms left in alleys, restaurant washrooms, public parks and streets has become a big issue. If the drug garbage represents the number of people using drugs, then obviously there is a problem of much greater proportion than we thought. Who is using drugs? Not necessarily who you would think. Recent overdoses include a wide variety of people. The emergency room has folks brought in for overdoses on a regular basis. Accompanying a friend to the ER after a bad accident, we waited for a bed in the kitchen of the department for several hours while we heard the sounds of nurses and doctors dealing with overdoses. The place was packed. A photo posted by a U.S. police department on Facebook on the weekend showed a woman and man in their 30s who had overdosed on heroin

CITY HALL and passed out in traffic with their four-year-old boy in the back seat. Addiction affects many people of different ages, professions, ethnicities and cultures. As a city, we need to decide what to do — and where. A safe-injection site would have an effect on the neighborhood in which it is located. Consider Vancouver’s bizarre experience of having a safeinjection site at street level, right below a drug-detox centre. It hasn’t worked very well for the detox clients. Community consultation and planning is crucial for success. Right now, we have a number of pharmacies that give methadone to patients attempting to come off opiates. Could those locations host injection sites? Or could medical or hospital outpatient buildings in central locations, away from schools and children, have similar sites? What about agencies that serve clients? Health professionals and agencies are telling their addict-

ed clients to be safe and not to inject alone, to be around others in case they overdose. What does that mean in real time? Fast-food restaurants, parks, washrooms, malls, back alleys and even street corners are the new injection sites of choice. People think this needs to change as many feel the pendulum has swung too far in favour of those with addictions instead of considering what is in the public interest. They don’t want to take their kids for a quick dinner and watch someone inject drugs in front of them. Another consideration is the high cost of an overdose, in which a person needs an ambulance, attendants, nurses, doctors and a hospital bed, all of which could be avoided with a safe-injection site. The cost of a hospital bed has been estimated at $1,500 a day. Safe-injection sites would cut down on the number of people needing emergency hospital services and save lives — and health care dollars are tight. What do you think? Council will be wrestling with this issue in the coming month. Your ideas and comments are welcome. Marg Spina is a Kamloops councillor.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

GOVERNMENT, DEMOCRACY STABLE 150 YEARS Editor: I am not writing this letter to oppose or support changes to the Canadian electoral system, but to support the democracy of Canada that has existed since 1867 and is widely seen as one of the best places on earth to live. Canadians on average are well educated and responsible people. We have fewer bankruptcies and substantially lower violent crime rates than our U.S. counterparts. We typically will acquiesce to another person’s point of view if the logic and outcomes of an argument are justified. We are a nation of hard workers, but have compassion for people with less means than ourselves. We live in a democratic social-

“

We have come this far in a democratic and civilized fashion, so why change this to town hall discussions favouring whoever can plant enough supporters with loud voices at a town hall forum?

”

ist state that ensures those who struggle are not left behind and those who earn substantially more share in the costs of government at a higher rate than the average worker. We fund these systems, for the most part willingly, when the alternatives of other global opportunities can be compelling. Given this natural and justifiable propensity to be concerned and responsible citizens of this country, why would any gov-

ernment allow special-interest groups to have undue influence over the way we elect our leader? In almost 150 years, our country has continued to have one of the most stable governments in the world. We are not generally looking at costly and divisive election campaigns every one or two years, as was the case with our recent minority governments that fell apart over sectarian interests.

I am not saying it is a perfect system, but I am saying Canadians deserve a choice. We have come this far in a democratic and civilized fashion, so why change this to town hall discussions favouring whoever can plant enough supporters with loud voices at a town hall forum? A free vote on an issue that can have a profound effect on the way our country operates for the next 150 years allows all to express their views. Change for change sake may be exciting, but as an old proverb states, “May you be fortunate enough to live in dull times.” Scott Tupper president, KamloopsThompson-Cariboo Conservative Electoral District Association

WHAT’S HE DONE? CAUTION WARRANTED WHEN NAMING ALLEGED OFFENDERS

Editor: Peter Milobar wants to run for the B.C. Liberal Party? Let’s see what Milobar has done for Kamloops during his time as mayor: 1. Installed parking meters (hidden tax grab) and found out later he could not get rid of them. 2. Pay increases for city councillors. 3. Bought the former Kamloops Daily News

property for taxpayers (bought by taxpayers) and it still empty. 4. Increased property taxes. All of this was accomplished via the taxpayers’ hard-earned dollars. What about the costs incurred for the campaign in favour of the proposed performing-arts centre? Who paid for it? Frank Desmet Kamloops

Editor: I am always leery when someone claims mistakes are not possible. In reference to a KTW story on a Kamloops sheriff being featured on a Creep Hunter website (Creep Hunters is one of many groups that target online predators of minors), an online reader with the user name Twelfthnight made the following claim in a

comment on page A9 of the Sept. 1 edition of KTW: “There are no accidents here, no mistakes. You’re either a child predator or you’re not. You can’t accidentally be labelled one if you aren’t.” Oh? On page A5 of the same edition, KTW issued a correction and apology. It seems KTW identified the wrong person as being

charged with driving while prohibited. I do not believe that KTW’s error was deliberate, but KTW accidentally labelled someone as something he was not. Considering how explosive the area of child abuse can be, I believe caution is warranted in naming alleged offenders. Gene Wirchenko Kamloops

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: FOULDS: NO NEED FOR COSTLY BYELECTION:

“I also see no need for a useless byelection and I like that idea of having fixed election dates for all three levels of government. What a time and cost saving measure that would be: one trip to the polls for all your electoral needs. “My concern with both Cavers and Milobar running is they should have to resign their present elected jobs in order to campaign in another election. You can’t serve two masters effectively.” — posted by Snuffy the Seal “I agree, why have a byelection? Fill the spot with someone on council. It is not that running Kamloops is that important as opposed to the president of the United States, who is the leader of the free world. “The more important question is: who are we going to elect in the next provincial election? “Let’s not forget there may be some choices beyond who the Liberals choose as their candidate. Let’s not let this issue override the overall process of who is best equipped to represent the riding.” — posted by Fairminded

POUNDING PAVEMENT FOR PARKINSON’S

The Puhallo family, led by North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steven (at right with child on his shoulders), blazes the trail for all participants in Saturday’s annual Parkinson SuperWalk. The event raises money for research into Parkinson’s disease, a progressive disorder of the nervous system that affects movement. It develops gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. In December 2013, at the age of 40, Puhallo was diagnosed with a mild form of early-onset Parkinson’s. With daily medication, he has been able to carry on with his daily life, which now includes a run for the B.C. Liberal nomination in Kamloops-North Thompson.

An Alberta man was sentenced Friday to more than a year in jail after a reckless and impaired 200-kilometre highway trip ended when he struck a barrier on the Coquihalla Highway, shredding two of his tires. William Guy Elliott, 51, pleaded guilty in provincial court to impaired driving and dangerous driving. In the early evening of June 17, Crown prosecutor Laura Drake said, police received reports of a reckless driver on the Trans-Canada Highway between Salmon Arm and Chase. The driver was reported to be tailgating, swerving and attempting to pass on the shoulder. Calls continued to 911 over a 90-minute period as Elliott made his way eastbound to Kamloops and continued south on the Coquihalla Highway past Merritt.

Drake said six motorists called in reports on the black VW Jetta Elliott was driving. He was finally arrested by RCMP when the car he was driving struck the centre barrier on the Coquihalla. Motorists stopped and noted he looked “intoxicated and was staggering,” Drake said. Elliot also urinated inside his pants and an RCMP member who spoke to him could only make out the name “Robert” when she asked Elliott’s name. Elliott blew levels of 1.8 and 1.9 — more than twice the legal blood-alcohol limit for driving and three times the limit for which an immediate suspension can be given. He was under a driving ban at the time. “The fact Mr. Elliott didn’t kill himself or someone else, or seriously injure them, is amazing,” judge Roy Dickey said. Elliott has been in custody since he was arrested, giving him credit for about four months’ time served. Dickey sentenced him to another 14 months in

prison, saying the circumstances were at the most serious end of the spectrum for impaired driving and dangerous driving. Defence lawyer Don Campbell said Elliott became a crack-cocaine addict several years ago and his life spiralled downward. He split from his wife, who was convicted of fraud and arson amid the fiveyear marriage, and lost his young children to Alberta’s social-services agency. Elliott works with horses and on movie sets in Alberta. He has worked on television series Fargo and Hell on Wheels, as well as on the set for the film The Revenant. Asked to speak to the court before his sentence, Elliott said, “I really want to see my kids,” before breaking down into tears. Following a submission by Campbell, Dickey recommended Elliott serve his time at Nanaimo Regional Correctional Centre, which has a dedicated drug-treatment centre.

Whirling disease prompts warning Provincial biologists are calling on British Columbia anglers to take extra precautions following the discovery of a potentially fatal fish disease in an Alberta lake. Last week, Parks Canada closed Johnson Lake in Banff National Park after fish tested positive for whirling disease — the first known case of this disease in the country. Whirling disease is caused by a parasite that burrows into the head and spine of salmonids — salmon, trout, whitefish and char — making them

vulnerable to predators. The parasite can spread from one lake to another through contaminated bait, fishing gear, water and birds. Anglers are being asked to contain whirling diseases by cleaning their boats and fishing equipment before and after entering lakes or rivers, and by properly disposing of caught fish and body parts. Whirling disease can cause fish to swim erratically, hence the name.

IHA adding residential-care beds The Interior Health Authority is adding 243 residential-care beds to the region, including 48 in Kamloops. “By adding more beds throughout the Interior, we’re ensuring that seniors can have the best care possible closer to their loved ones,” said Health

Minister Terry Lake. “This announcement also aligns with our strategic vision of strengthening supports in the community.” Beds will also go to Cranbrook (30), Penticton (35), Salmon Arm (60) and Williams Lake (70).

The IHA now has 5,653 residential-care beds throughout its district. A request for proposals will be issued this month, with contracts expected to be awarded in the winter. New beds are expected to be in place by the summer of 2018.

Grazing areas to be audited this week The Forest Practices Board will this week audit the planning and practices on five range tenures for grazing cattle in the Thompson Rivers Natural Resource District. Auditors will examine range activities for compliance with the Forest and Range

Practices Act. Grazing areas to be audited range in size from 2,773 to 24,100 hectares and are located near Kamloops, Barriere, Cache Creek and Chase. Once the audit work is completed, a report will be prepared and any party that may be adversely

affected by the findings will have a chance to respond. The board’s final report and recommendations then will be released to the public and government. The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its

findings and recommendations directly to the public and government. The board audits forest and range practices on public land, as well as appropriateness of government enforcement. For more information, go online to bcfpb.ca.

Dancing Like the Stars WOMEN’S HEALTH FUNDRAISER

ransportation Minister Todd Stone and wife Chantelle Stone were crowned champions of the third annual Dancing Like the Stars fundraiser for women’s health at Royal Inland Hospital. Also dancing at Saturday’s gala were Susan Brown with Tara Gostelow, Daljit Sadhra with Brandy Walker-Gozda, Logan Giesbrecht with Raj Rana and TJ Connors with Cristina Ostapovitch. The event was held at the Coast Kamloops Hotel and Conference Centre, where hundreds of people helped raise money for the Rae Fawcett Breast Health Clinic. The clinic and the Rae Fawcett Simulation Centre — which were helped with a $1-million donation from Rae Fawcett and family — are located in the new clinical-services building at Royal Inland Hospital. “We are deeply grateful and touched by her generosity, commitment and support,” said Royal Inland Hospital Foundation CEO Heidi Coleman. “She believes in what we are doing and feels strongly about providing women and men in our community with faster access to breast cancer diagnostics and treatment as well as ongoing educational opportunities presented in the simulation centre.” The amount raised at the event will be released later this week.

School district remains mum on censure of trustee ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

School District 74 is keeping quiet on why a school trustee was censured at a special closed meeting of the board of education on May 17. Notice of the discipline meted out to trustee Jim MacArthur, the Gold Trail school district’s representative for the District of Lillooet, was revealed at the Thompson-Nicola Regional District’s board of directors meeting in June via a news release dated June 3. The release said the board of education passed the motion

of censure against MacArthur for “breach of board policy and inappropriate behaviour toward an employee of the board.” When contacted to clarify the meaning of “inappropriate behaviour,” the school district refused to elaborate. “We can’t talk about that,” board co-chair Valerie Adrian said, referring instead to the results of a request for information Kamloops This Week filed under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. “Really, there’s not much more I can add,” Adrian said. After learning a report was

prepared to inform the board in its decision to censure MacArthur, KTW attempted to obtain a copy of the document. But the FOI request produced only a series of heavily redacted records. Lines describing the situation that led to the censure were removed from multiple pages of the report. Five pages of the 19-page document were redacted in their entirety. Asked if the public has a right to know why an elected official was formally disciplined, Adrian said, “We have to really weigh the privacy of our employees as

well. I think that we have to really respect that. We have a third party here that doesn’t want their name out there and we respect that.” In a letter prefacing the report sent to KTW, the district said it withheld records that were subject to solicitor-client privilege, that were an unreasonable invasion of a third party’s personal privacy and that revealed the substance of deliberations of the board of education. Ken Rubin, an Ottawa-based public interest researcher and a well-known commentator on the right to information and secrecy practices in Canada, said it’s hard

to judge the board’s decision to withhold the information without knowing more about what is contained in the document. “There are documents that are withheld like that on disciplinary matters, but it’s the credibility of the actions, where you would hope public accountability would demand at least some summary of what it was,” Rubin said. “If there actually was censure, it’s not like he [MacArthur] went further, that he felt he was unjustly accused of something.” MacArthur declined to comment when contacted by KTW in June and did not return a request for comment this week.

TRU enrolment steady While the numbers aren’t yet firm, Thompson Rivers University expects its enrolment to be consistent with last year — and that’s a good thing, according to its registrar. The tentative enrolment includes 7,200 students on campus in traditional university studies and another 4,000 to 5,000 students in trades, apprenticeships or continuing education. About 24 per cent of the projected enrolment includes international stu-

dents from about 80 countries. Michael Blum noted universities are welcoming fewer school-aged students and some universities may have to shut down. “To see our enrolment steady is great,” he said. The graduating cohort in Kamloops, for example, is part of the declining-enrolment demographic the Kamloops-Thompson school district has experienced.

Doubts creep in on Energy East pipeline THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — A bank analyst said the chance

the Energy East pipeline project will be built has fallen to 25 per cent from 33 per cent after

members of a regulatory panel were forced to resign last week. CIBC analyst Robert

Hope said in a note to clients that poor prospects have gotten worse for the controversial

$15.7-billion pipeline, which would bring about 1.1-million barrels of oil per day from Alberta and

Saskatchewan to Eastern Canada refineries and a marine terminal in New Brunswick.

On Friday, the National Energy Board announced its three Energy East panellists had recused themselves following complaints that two of them met with former Quebec premier Jean Charest, a consultant for developer TransCanada at the time, last year to discuss the pipeline. The Calgary-based regulator also said board chairman Peter Watson and vice-chairwoman Lyne Mercier will not be involved in choosing a new panel to resume hearings at a later date to avoid “an apprehension of bias.’’ NEB spokeswoman Sarah Kiley said a new panel will be chosen by a temporary NEB chair from a roster of board members slated to grow with new temporary appointments made by the federal government. She said the new board members are necessary to ensure enough panellists are available to serve who are bilingual. She added the regulator still hopes to finish its review process by its current deadline of March 18, 2018, but that timeline may be extended if necessary to ensure a thorough review. Analyst Dirk Lever of AltaCorp Capital in Calgary says the pipeline regulatory process has become so “murky and messy” due to political pressure that it’s difficult to say that any pipeline approval can be assured.

Female majority on Supreme Court? PETER MACKAY SAID CONSERVATIVES GAVE IDEA ‘SERIOUS THOUGHT’ JOANNA SMITH

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The previous Conservative government at one point considered working toward giving women a majority of the nine seats on the Supreme Court of Canada, said former justice minister Peter MacKay. “I can assure you that there was very serious thought given,’’ MacKay said in a recent interview with The Canadian Press about the new appointments process proposed by the current Liberal government. The former cabinet minister from Nova Scotia said this was at the time leading up to the appointment of Justice Marc Nadon, a choice ultimately rejected by the high court on the grounds it did not meet the constitutional requirements for a Quebec justice. The short list of six candidates, which was later leaked to the Globe and Mail, included the names of two female candidates. Had one of them been chosen, the Supreme Court would have had four women on the bench, resulting in gender parity at a time when there was still another vacancy. “It was being considered as an important precedent, but also just the fact that at that moment in time the female candidates for selection were equally impressive as far as their qualification,’’ MacKay later wrote in an email in response to a follow-up question as to whether promoting more women to the high court was a deliberate goal.

Had things turned out that way, women would have made up a majority of the justices on the Supreme Court for the first time in December 2014, when Prime Minister Stephen Harper appointed Suzanne Cote, the first woman appointed to the high court from a career as a lawyer in private practice. MacKay shared the insight into judicial appointments history while making the argument that the Liberal government should be able to achieve its goal of diversifying the bench without abandoning the “constitutional tradition’’ that would see retiring justice Thomas Cromwell, who is from Nova Scotia, replaced with another judge from Atlantic Canada. “I think we really have to keep front and centre that criteria of legal excellence,’’ said MacKay, who is considering a bid for the Conservative party leadership. The Liberal government announced last month that a new, non-partisan advisory board will choose potential new judges — who must be “functionally bilingual’’ and reflect the diversity of the Canadian population — to sit on the high court. The board has been asked to include candidates from Atlantic Canada on the short list, but that does not mean one of them will get the job. MacKay, meanwhile, is being accused of engaging in some revisionist history when it comes to the controversial choice of Nadon. The appointment culminated in an unprecedented public feud between Harper and Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin after the Supreme Court nixed

the appointment. Harper ended up instead naming Justice Clement Gascon, from the Quebec Court of Appeal, in June 2014. Former New Democrat MP Francoise Boivin, who was one of the five MPs on the selection panel that reviewed the short list, said she felt what the government really wanted at the time was to appoint Nadon, a Federal Court of Appeal judge from Quebec. “I never felt [for] one second that their goal was really to have a woman,’’ said Boivin. Lorne Sossin, dean of the Osgoode Hall Law School at York University, pointed out that five of the seven Supreme Court appointments Harper made — or six of the eight, if one includes the failed attempt at naming Nadon — were male. “The record seems to belie that characterization of their approach,’’ Sossin said. MacKay landed in hot water in 2014 when the Toronto Star reported on comments he made to a group of lawyers that some interpreted as suggesting women were not applying to be judges because they feared the travel required by circuitcourt jobs would keep them away from their children. His office at the time said that 34 per cent of the federally appointed judges were women, arguing that was a 17 per cent increase over the previous Liberal administration. An analysis by The Canadian Press showed that despite this increase, the Conservative government actually appointed women judges at a lower rate.

Clement: jail if 24/7 monitoring impossible OTTAWA — Conservative leadership candidate Tony Clement said if people at high risk of committing terrorist acts cannot be monitored around the clock, they should be behind bars. Clement said court-ordered peace bonds — such as the one Aaron Driver was under while he planned his thwarted terrorist attack with explosives last month — are not enough unless security officials are able to monitor people 24 hours a day. The RCMP has acknowledged Driver was not under constant surveillance and that it was a tip from U.S. authorities that alerted them to his plans. Clement said if non-stop monitoring is impossible, people who reach the evidentiary threshold of peace bonds should instead be incarcerated following a judicial process until they are no longer a threat to the public. The Ontario MP and former cabinet minister revealed his position while unveiling his proposed plan for increasing national security to protect Canada from terrorist threats at home and abroad. The plan includes enhanced screening with face-to-face video-conferencing for potential immigrants, revoking the Canadian citizenship of dual nationals convicted of terrorism and setting up an independent government agency to monitor the activities of all charities to make sure they are not contributing to terrorism or radicalization. — The Canadian Press

Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan and Agrium agree to merge in massive deal THE CANADIAN PRESS

CALGARY — Potash Corp. of Saskatchewan and Agrium have agreed to merge in a deal that would create a global agricultural giant worth an estimated US$36 billion. The deal announced yesterday brings together Saskatoon-based PotashCorp’s huge fertilizer mining operations — the world’s largest by capacity — with Calgarybased Agrium’s extensive global direct-to-farmer retail network. “I wouldn’t be doing this deal if I didn’t think that this was the right time or the right deal,’’ Agrium CEO Chuck Magro told a conference call with financial analysts. “I look at the strategic fit and I look at combining the world’s largest fertilizer with the world’s

largest ag retailer. That makes an awful lot of sense to me.’’ The new firm would have close to 20,000 employees, with operations in 18 countries. News of the deal comes as the fertilizer industry struggles with a steep drop in prices in recent years following a ramp-up of production and the breakup of a Russia-Belarus potash trading cartel in 2013. PotashCorp reported an averaged realized price in the second quarter of US$154 per tonne compared with US$273 per tonne a year ago, and well off the 2008 peak of around US$900 a tonne. The companies said they expected to generate up to US$500 million in annual operating savings with US$250 million in the first year and the full amount by the end of the second.

“The integrated platform established through our combination will greatly benefit customers and suppliers, and support even greater career development opportunities for employees,’’ PotashCorp CEO Jochen Tilk said in a statement. Tilk would serve as executive chairman of the merged company, while Magro would be CEO. Agrium chief financial officer Steve Douglas would serve as chief integration officer. Under the agreement, PotashCorp shareholders would receive 0.4 of a share of the new company for each common share of PotashCorp they own, while Agrium shareholders would receive 2.23 shares for each Agrium share they own. PotashCorp shareholders would own roughly 52 per cent of

the yet-to-be-named company, while Agrium shareholders would own 48 per cent on a fully diluted basis. Analysts expect the combined company would be better able to control fertilizer output and may lead to mine closures. Potash companies have already made moves this year to cut costs and production, with PotashCorp shutting its recently opened Picadilly mine in New Brunswick in January and temporarily closing some Saskatchewan mines. U.S.-based Mosaic Co. has closed its potash mine near Colonsay, Sask., until market conditions improve. The industry has looked for consolidation in the past, with PotashCorp pushing for a US$8.7billion takeover of K+S Group

last year that was rebuffed by the German fertilizer group. PotashCorp itself was the target of a US$38.6-billion takeover bid by BHP Billiton in 2010, but the Canadian government ultimately blocked the offer as not having enough net benefit for Canada. Analysts expect the deal to face less scrutiny than the BHP proposal because both companies are Canadian, but it will still have to go through regulatory and Competition Bureau approvals. The Saskatchewan government formed PotashCorp in 1975 as a Crown corporation before it was privatized in 1989. Agrium was founded in 1931 as part of Cominco and became a publicly traded company in 1993.

International law firm Dentons hires former prime minister Stephen Harper OTTAWA — Former prime minister Stephen Harper has landed himself a job with an international law firm. Dentons announced yesterday Harper has teamed up with the firm to provide clients with advice on market access, managing global geopolitical and economic risk,

and maximize value in global markets. The law firm has on its roster former Liberal prime minister Jean Chretien, former ambassador to the U.S. Gary Doer, and James Moore, Harper’s former industry minister. The company calls the relationship with Harper a “strategic affiliation,” noting that

Harper remains chairman and CEO of his own consulting agency. Harper will work out of the Dentons office in Calgary. He officially resigned as an MP last month after stepping down as Conservative leader following the party’s 2015 election loss. — The Canadian Press

Executive director Deb McClelland said the Chamber saw an increase in unique nominations, with 166 more organizations nominated this year compared to 2015. The Chamber also reviewed criteria for many of the awards, creating more stringent benchmarks for nominees to meet.

First vice-president Joshua Knaak said the Chamber makes an effort to ensure the categories represent the current business community. “The Chamber wants to do whatever we can to support the businesses in our community and one of the great ways to do that is to ensure that those that really are putting the extra effort out there are recognized,” Knaak said. Two awards were added this year: Project of the Year, for which Cascades Casino Kamloops, the City of Kamloops and the Kamloops Wineries Association are finalists; and Not-For-Profit of the Year, for which BIG Little Science Centre, Interior Community Services and St. John Ambulance are finalists. In addition to honouring winners in the 16 categories, the

Chamber’s board of directors hands out the Business of the Year and the President’s Award, which goes to an “outstanding individual in the community.” “I think one of the challenges with being a business owner, business operator is that you hear about it when you’re not doing a good job, but it’s much less likely to hear about it when you are doing a good job,” Knaak said. “So, I think hopefully for those who were nominated, it’s a pat on the back so they recognize that they are appreciated and valued.” Winners will be announced at the Business Excellence Awards gala on Oct. 22. Tickets cost $115 for members and $135 for non-members and are available online at kamloopschamber.ca or by calling 250-372-7722.

System less taxing with planning

s my wife Ester and I, as well as some extended family, hit Day 18 on our trip through Italy and Greece, I have to say I am looking forward to getting home and sleeping in my bed, maybe exercising and possibly having a day without a glass of wine (maybe not). As wealth advisors, we are always looking at all levels of client planning and that involves tax planning. As I think about the PIIGS (Portugal, Italy, Ireland, Greece and Spain) that came to the front in the last market crash (2008 to 2009) and consider some of my experiences over the past few weeks, I see how an effective tax system should work. They were the countries in the worst financial state in the

I think we all appreciate roads, “schools, hospitals, police and fire departments, etc. our tax dollars pay for. It is with this in mind I say, ‘Tax me, please.’

”

LES CONSENHEIM

Magnus

CONSILIO developed economy after the crash. As we rolled through Italy and Greece, I would guess more than 50 per cent of any transactions I had were requested in cash and I started looking at what might be considered broken systems. I think we can all agree none of us like paying tax. I would argue we all do as much in our power (legally) to minimize our tax bill. That being said, I

think we all appreciate roads, schools, hospitals, police and fire departments, etc. our tax dollars pay for. It is with this in mind I say, “Tax me please.” I also see how lucky we are to be Canadians and how our system works to create a pretty effective government and stable place to live. In both Italy and Greece, there is very high unemployment and people are con-

cerned about their financial security. There are many variables at play in this but the tax system was the one that jumped out at me. The underground, sometimes called black market, where people trade in cash or barter (trading goods and services for other goods and services), seems like an effective option for the individual concerned because the avoidance of tax leaves

this person with more dollars to support their needs. The unfortunate side effect is this erodes the ability of governments in paying for services we, as Canadian expect, not to mention their national debts. There has been great improvement in some countries (Spain) but there are definitely challenges. Imagine being a government official

looking to get elected when everyone is looking for work and has a substantial disdain for the tax system. Get elected on the promise of jobs and then tax and get voted out. As we came from the airport in Athens, our cab driver went on a bit of a rant about property tax and how they should not have to pay it. There is no easy solution, but it comes with balance. In Canada, I know we feel like we pay too much tax. I know there are times when I look at my tax bill and wonder. That being said, as I mentioned earlier, we do have ways of planning to minimize this tax. Most of us have been introduced to the basic strategies like RRSPs and TFSAs and many of us are familiar with our ability to be

self-employed and create corporations that allow for substantial planning opportunities but more planning ideas are available when you dig deep. I know, as we work through in-depth financial plans with clients, we always discover new ideas. Les Consenheim is a senior wealth advisor with Scotia Wealth ManagementThe Consenheim Group.

elcome home, Kamloops Storm. In the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League’s debut at Memorial Arena on Friday night, the Storm shut out the visiting Sicamous Eagles 6-0. It was a dominant debut in the club’s new downtown home and the Storm followed with a 7-3 victory over the Chase Heat at Memorial on Saturday, the first regularseason bout between the clubs since Chase eliminated Kamloops from the 2016 postseason in five games.

“It was a good start for the season, for sure,” Storm forward Kole Comin said. “Nobody’s complaining. A lot of work still needs to be put in, though.” Friday’s contest was the Storm’s first-ever in Memorial, the club’s new permanent home after moving south of the river from the

McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre this summer. Speculation leading up to Game 1 of the regular season brought with it hopes for a more lively crowd and tighter, more physical hockey. The reality didn’t disappoint the predictions. The venue was loud. The game was fast-paced and physical. The attendance, while not astounding, saw 482 fans fill the technicolor yellow, green, blue and red of the benches in Memorial. That was an increase from the average of roughly 300 fans — an optimistic assessment — Storm officials said the club drew on the average night on McArthur Island. “I’m very happy,” Storm general manager Barry Dewar said. “The crowd’s great and people are having fun.

“There’s a lot of people I’ve never seen before, but a lot of old friends that came down, so I’m really happy about that. “I think it’s great. This is going to be fun.” Early reviews from the crowd Friday yielded responses much the same as those from Storm representatives. Kevin De Vries, a season-ticket holder who has been in the stands for all 11 of the franchise’s years in Kamloops, said he’s excited for what the year will bring — both on and off the ice. “I was a little skeptical, but I like it,” he said. “It’s a little louder and it’s a little closer to the action. I’m liking it.” Kamloops is back in action on Friday, with the Osoyoos Coyotes coming to town. Puckdrop is slated for 7:35 p.m. at Memorial.

No longer is the win column vacant. The Kamloops Broncos moved to 1-6 in B.C. Football Conference play with a 30-23 triumph over the Valley Huskers in Chilliwack on Saturday, erasing a 10-point halftime deficit en route to victory. “We made a few adjustments at halftime, the guys calmed down and we wore them down,” said Broncos’ head coach Brad Yamaoka, whose charges left the Huskers winless at 0-7. “That was one of the positives. We came from behind, we went through adversity and the young guys realized

we can play from behind.” Kamloops moved specialteams standout Trent Price to running back and the decision paid off, with his rumbling second-half runs sparking the Broncos’ offence. “He had a bunch of tough runs and broke five or six tackles on one run alone,” Yamaoka said of the Prince George back. “You get that spark and everybody else gets enthusiastic. It was a boost to the morale for sure.” Elsewhere in the conference on Saturday, the Westshore Rebels won a thriller over the previously undefeated Okanagan Sun of Kelowna, prevailing 29-23 in Langford on a last-minute touchdown. The hometown Langley

Rams downed the Vancouver Island Raiders of Nanaimo 32-17. Okanagan and Westshore sit tied atop league standings at 6-1, Langley is third at 5-2, Vancouver Island sits fourth at 3-4 and the Broncos and Huskers are fifth and sixth, respectively. The top four teams qualify for the post-season. If Kamloops is to keep its faint playoff hopes alive, it must earn a victory over the Rams at Hillside Stadium on Saturday. Game time is 7 p.m. “Building on a win, we haven’t been in this position before,” Yamaoka said. “Maybe the guys just needed that one win to crack that egg and now we can get at ‘em.”

Two WHL exhibition games ended in losses for the Kamloops Blazers on the weekend. Jake Kryski, who was traded to the Kelowna Rockets last month, had two goals and two assists in a 6-3 victory over his former team at Sandman Centre on Saturday. Carter Phair, who joined the Blazers last week, allowed five goals on 28 shots between the pipes for Kamloops. Rudolfs Balcers, Travis Walton and Matt Revel tallied for the home team. Walton, 6-foot-2 and 180 pounds, played last season with Yale Midget Prep Academy, racking up 17 goals and 26 points in 23 games. He was listed by the Blazers two years ago, but was expected to play in the junior A B.C. Hockey League this season and had

not decided to come to Kamloops until Thursday. Walton, a left-hand shot, joins right-hand shots Scott Mahovlich and Erik Miller in the group of 17-year-old Blazer forwards. Hometown Kelowna blanked Kamloops 1-0 on Friday, despite a 39-save performance

from Blazers’ netminder Dylan Ferguson, who will likely play a big role backing up No. 1 goalie Connor Ingram this season. Rockets’ forward Dillon Dube scored the winning goal in the third period and Kelowna backstop Michael Herringer posted the shutout.

Kamloops reassigned three 16-yearold players on the weekend — defenceman Devan Harrison and forwards Ryley Appelt and Carson Denomie. The Blazers finish their pre-season slate against the Cougars in Prince George on Friday.

Isabelle Hamptonstone almost dropped her groceries on the supermarket floor when she listened to the voice-mail message. Guy Charron, then-head coach of the Kamloops Blazers, was shopping for a mentalperformance coach ahead of the 2011-2012 WHL season — and she was atop the list. There was one problem and it was a fairly big one: Hamptonstone, a Welsh import and big-time rugby fan, didn’t have the first clue about hockey. “That year, when I first worked with the whole team, those boys broke the franchise record for number of wins in a row,” Hamptonstone said, noting she hopes to have played at least a small part in Kamloops’ 2012 B.C. Division banner. Hamptonstone, or Izzy, as she was known to the Blazers, continued to learn about the game and how to better impact those who play it. Flash forward to 2016 and she has written a book, Hockey Confidence, that will hit shelves across North America later this month. “I know the brain inside out,” said Hamptonstone, who lives in Sun Peaks. “I know how to tap into the power of the unconscious mind. I knew nothing about hockey. “That’s been a challenge and my work is usually so deeply personal, but I’ve put together real-world case studies and samples from hockey

BROUGHT TO YOU BY:

SMITH CHEVROLET CADILLAC

CHASKA, Minn. — When Davis Love III and the U.S. Ryder Cup team come to Hazeltine at the end of the month, they will be looking to avoid an unprecedented fourth straight defeat to the Europeans. The U.S. has spent two years planning and strategizing in hopes of turning the tide, and Love’s first three captain’s picks lean heavily on experience as they try to end the skid. Love chose Rickie Fowler, J.B. Holmes and Matt Kuchar yesterday. He has one more pick to make, too. The Americans haven’t won since Valhalla in 2008. They have only one rookie on the current roster, while the Europeans will be bringing six newcomers to Minnesota. “Experience is good. We know what to expect. We know how to handle it, how to deal with it,’’ Love said. “We’ve been there. We’re going to learn from our mistakes in the past and build on it.’’ Love didn’t surprise many people with his first three picks. Where he goes for the fourth and final spot may be a little more intriguing. Love said there was strong debate and discussion with vicecaptains Tiger Woods, Steve Stricker and Jim Furyk late into the

afternoon on Sunday before a consensus was finally reached. Those conversations will only increase before he chooses the final member of the team on Sept. 25 after the Tour Championship. The Ryder Cup begins Sept. 30. Holmes finished 10th in the Ryder Cup standings and called Love last week to tell him how important it was for him to be on the team. Holmes finished tied for fourth at the BMW Championship on Sunday and is one of the few active Americans to have never lost in the event. He went 2-0-1 at Valhalla. “Some of my greatest memories in golf were at the Ryder Cup at Valhalla,’’ Holmes said. “So just really excited to get back in the Ryder Cup format and get out there and play.’’ Fowler started the year with a victory in Abu Dhabi and was rolling at the Phoenix Open before losing a two-shot lead with two holes to play. He also lost the 54-hole lead at Wells Fargo and at Barclays, which prevented him from qualifying for the team on

points. Fowler was part of the Ryder Cup Task Force aimed at turning around the Americans’ fortunes in the event, but he is 0-3-5 in two previous Ryder Cups, both on European soil. Kuchar was thought of as a favourite for one of the picks given his ability to play with any partner in a team event where chemistry is crucial. He has just one victory in the last two years at the Fiji International, but made a big impression by winning bronze at the Rio Olympics. He is 4-5-2 in his Ryder Cup career and has played on three previous American teams. “It stinks for me to be sitting on the outside needing a pick,’’ Kuchar said. “I thought I had a nice year, but not nice enough to qualify on points. Team USA is certainly very strong. To have the picks we’ve had is fantastic.’’ The three captain’s choices join Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, Jimmy Walker, Brooks Koepka, Brandt Snedeker and Zach Johnson, who qualified in the final standings for the Americans. Left off the initial round of captain’s picks was Bubba Watson, currently ranked No. 7 in the world. He won at Riviera, but hasn’t won a singles match in three Ryder Cups. Furyk was also passed over despite finishing tied for fifth and shooting

58 at the Travelers Championship. He did not make it to the BMW Championship, but he lost four months of the season to wrist surgery and only started playing in May. “We’re a sports team and we have to draft the right player for the right position,’’ Love said. “There’s going to be a lot of stats and a lot of things to look at. But making our pairings, fitting into the team, doing all the little things you’re asked to do, these three guys fill incredible roles and a lot of different roles.’’ Kuchar said he had heard “rumours’’ of another candidate. “That last pick is going to be quite amazing. I don’t envy Davis’s position. So it’s a tough job. But gosh, imagine that, Tiger Woods playing for Team USA, being a captain,’’ Kuchar deadpanned. “That would be incredible.’’ “I was originally going to go with me and my son Drew and Tiger,’’ Love quipped. “But none of us have shown any form coming off of injuries.’’ European Captain Darren Clarke has named Martin Kaymer, Thomas Pieters and Lee Westwood as his three captain’s picks, joining qualifiers Rafa Cabrera Bello, Matthew Fitzpatrick, Sergio Garcia, Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose, Henrik Stenson, Andy Sullivan, Danny Willett and Chris Wood in Clarke’s 12-man lineup.

peacefully

Celebration of Life for

He was born into a large family in the Netherlands. Orphaned at a young age he struggled to survive as a teenage farmer through World War II. Seeking a better life he came to Canada in 1951, and his life was forever changed. After farming, house building and lumber grading on Vancouver Island, he ended up moving to Kamloops with his young family in the 1960s. He would work happily for Canada Post, being promoted to Post Master in Logan Lake and then in Chase, picking up accolades along the way. Martin knew everyone - if he forgot your name he knew your box number and was a warm smile waiting when you needed anything. He was a man of quiet resolve; busy with faith, family, friends and a little fishing. He lived a life of service and was always helping or organizing. His passion for the church and the Knights of Columbus kept him healthy and happy. He retired in 1993, and then village politics became a new pursuit. Martin was elected and served as a Councillor and then as Mayor of Chase for a combined nine years. His wife Tilly of 56 years and three children John, Sarah and Michael and five grandchildren had many great times together. A few years ago, he and Tilly moved to Chartwell Ridgepoint in Kamloops where a new family of friends was waiting. He loved every minute of it there - especially the cribbage games. Martin had time to reflect with family and friends in the last stages of his life with nothing being left unsaid. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice Home in Kamloops. Special thanks to the kind, caring staff and volunteers who assisted Martin and his family with his final journey.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightening they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

He is survived by his spouse, Francoise of Revelstoke; two children: Benjamin and Nicholas; parents Colin and Barbara MacPherson of Kamloops; brother Shane MacPherson of Calgary; many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and other extended family as well as a host of good friends. Messages of sympathy may be sent to Jason’s family by viewing his obituary at www.brandonbowersfuneralhome.com. Cremation arrangements are in the care of Brandon Bowers Funeral Home, Revelstoke.

Pennies From Heaven by Charles L. Mashburn 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.
