ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

A review of the proposed Ajax mine could go more than 60 per cent over initial budget due to delays and difficulties in acquiring information, a report headed to city council today states. Allan Michener, environmental services supervisor for the city, said SLR Consulting will need about $200,000 more to finish its review of the planned KGHM Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. The city hired SLR Consulting in May 2015 at a cost of $300,000. Cash for the review came from KGHM itself. Michener said because of the delays in the Ajax assessment process and the difficulties in getting information from the company, the review is going over budget. “SLR has delivered on all required tasks to date; however, there has been a significant amount of effort required by SLR and city staff to work through KGHM’s application and to work with KGHM, the BCEAO [B.C. Environmental Assessment Office] and other members of the project’s Technical Working Group,” he wrote. “The official timeline was suspended due to technical components that needed to be worked out and significant work continues in the background to address these components.” See MINE REVIEW, A4

‘Starvation,’‘booby trap’ lead to $25K lawsuits TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Two inmates at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre have filed unrelated $25,000 lawsuits against the provincial government. One is suing for “pain and suffering related to starvation,” while the other wants compensation for injuries he suffered as a result of what he calls a “booby trap” created by other prisoners. Both lawsuits were filed in Kamloops provincial court on Sept. 27.

The provincial government has two weeks to file a reply to the claims. David Grant Mack wants the money because he claims his physical stature and workout regimen can’t be supported on three squares a day offered at the prison. “The B.C. Corrections diet is only made to support a 165- to 195-pound individual on a moderate activity level,” Mack’s notice of claim reads, noting he stands 6-foot-5, weighs 260 pounds and works a unit job at the jail. “I work out twice a day for two hours

in addition to my employment duties,” Mack’s notice of claim reads. “I am not receiving adequate nutrition and have had to live off of my canteen the last two years while incarcerated.” Mack is seeking $25,000 for “pain and suffering related to starvation for the last two years and also having to provide my own food from canteen.” In addition to daily meals provided by the jail, provincial prisoners can use their own money to purchase items from the canteen.

Civilians and a police officer were treated for non-lifethreatening injuries following a collision in downtown Kamloops on Friday afternoon. Emergency crews were called to the intersection of Sixth Avenue and Seymour Street at about 3:30 p.m. for a report of a two-vehicle collision between a police cruiser and a van. Cpl. Cheryl Bush said investigators are still working to determine who was at fault and whether the police vehicle had its lights and sirens activated at the time.

KFR crews make quick work of fire

A former high-profile Kamloops police officer accused of trafficking cocaine while still employed by the RCMP last summer is expected to enter a plea later this week. Randi Love did not appear in person on Monday for a brief hearing in Kamloops provincial court, at which her arraignment was set for Thursday. Her lawyer, Brad Smith, appeared in her behalf. The 40-year-old is facing three counts of trafficking cocaine stemming from a trio of alleged incidents on separate dates in June 2015. At the time, Love was on injury leave from her job as an RCMP constable. Police launched an investigation into Love in No one was injured as fire tore through a Sahali townhouse on Sunday. Kamloops Fire Rescue Capt. Chris Burnham said emergency crews were called to a home in Spencer Court, at 1580 Summit Dr., at about 11 a.m. He said the initial call indicated a person was trapped inside the

the weeks that followed. She submitted her resignation papers to the national police force in October 2015. Love made headlines in 2013 when she testified at the fraud trial of her former boyfriend, thenRCMP Const. Trent Wessner, who was convicted of bilking Costco out of $400 based largely on Love’s testimony. Wessner left policing following the conviction. In 2008, Love worked as the media-relations officer at the Kamloops RCMP detachment, acting as the de facto face of the city’s police. To this point, Love, who is not in custody, has not appeared in person for any of her court appearances on the cocaine-trafficking charges. She is not expected to appear in person for Thursday’s arraignment hearing.

burning building, but that turned out to not be the case. “When we showed up, the top floor was on fire,” Burnham said. “Our guys did a quick knockdown.” Burnham said one suite suffered extensive damage, while minor smoke damage was caused to another.

He said both homes will be unoccupied for at least a few days. There is no word yet on a cause. “Not at this time,” Burnham said. “A fire-prevention officer was on scene yesterday [Sunday] trying to figure out what it was, but I don’t have that information yet.” The investigation is ongoing.

Mine review still on hold From A1

KGHM’s review has been on hold since May as the company responds to questions and comments from the public, First Nations and SLR. The city’s consultant alone flagged more than 800 items in the Ajax application. It’s not clear when the process will resume, though KGHM has in the past suggested it could happen this fall.

Michener said the additional $200,000 would allow SLR to review new submissions from KGHM and prepare a final report to council. That report is intended to guide the city’s official submission on the project to BCEAO, the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency and the provincial and federal governments. In his report, Michener suggests the money could come

from the general reserve. Public works director Jen Fretz said staff can’t approach KGHM about paying the remainder of SLR’s fees on its own, but would if council directs them to do so today. Yves Lacasse, KGHM Ajax’s external-affairs manager declined to comment on news of the cost of the city’s review of his company’s application, noting the city has not contacted KGHM on the matter.

Inmate says he was targeted From A1

In August, Mack was handed a 15-month jail sentence for an attack on a fellow inmate. The other inmate seeking money, Derek Timothy Rocco, is in protective custody and claims to have been the victim of a booby trap on July 13. In his notice of claim, Rocco says the trap was set by general-population inmates targeting those in protective custody. “The floor just inside of the common room door was made excessively greasy with some unknown substance,” the document reads. “As an added insult, there was a newspaper clipping left on the window of the common room door of a rat with caption, ‘Rodents run amok.’

“The slip and fall was witnessed by the unit officer, who also confirmed the excessively greasy floor,” the document states, Rocco claims to have spent two months in a wheelchair following the incident and says he still uses a cane. “My position is simply that this never should have been allowed to happen, especially to someone in protective custody,” he says in the notice of claim. Rocco says he deserves $25,000 to compensate for his pain and suffering due to negligence. The 31-year-old has been in custody since March. He is facing charges in relation to an alleged bank robbery in Salmon Arm and is set to return to court on Oct. 11.

Bill aims to tackle fentanyl abuse CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod is promoting a private member’s bill from a Conservative colleague intended to combat abuse of fentanyl and other prescription drugs. Conservative MP Kevin Sorenson introduced a bill in the House of Commons to amend the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act. The intent of the bill is to restrict access to prescription formulations that can easily be turned into street drugs. “These are drugs that are legal, but get diverted to the black market,” McLeod said. Prescription drugs can be turned into street drugs by crushing substances and making them injectable, for example. McLeod said pharmaceutical manufacturers should be required to make formations that can’t be easily

converted to street drugs. McLeod said she was working on legislation when she was parliamentary secretary to the minister of health, prior to last year’s election. Those efforts have been channeled into the private member’s bill. Bob Hughes, executive director of ASK Wellness in Kamloops, said there’s no simple solution to the scourge of opiate deaths, but added enforcement and prevention — including the Conservative bill — are part of the solution along with education and harm reduction. Hughes also believes legislation should be put in place to restrict access to pill presses. “Unless you’re qualified and have certification, no one should have access to a pill press,” he said. There have been 264 fentanyldetected illicit drug overdose deaths in B.C. between January and July this year, according to the B.C. Coroners Service. That is a 222 per cent increase over the

88 who died in the same time period in 2015. Numbers in the Interior are staggering. Two fentanyl-detected deaths were reported by Interior Health in 2012, three in 2013, nine in 2014 and 22 in 2015. Forty-two had been reported through July of this year. In April, British Columbia became the first province in Canada to declare a public health emergency after a dramatic increase in the number of overdose deaths from illicit drugs such as fentanyl. Recreational drug users may cut or manipulate a fentanyl patch or smoke a gel form of the drug. Fentanyl can be deadly because people often don’t know it’s been cut into drugs such as fake oxycodone, cocaine, heroin or other pills and powders, nor do they know how much fentanyl has been added. Fentanyl is cheap to manufacture and is often brought into Canada and the United States from China, while Mexico is also a source of the drug in the U.S.

The province’s francophone school board is considering whether to appeal a B.C. Supreme Court decision issued earlier this month on provision of Frenchlanguage education in the province. The Conseil scolaire francophone de la ColombieBritannique (CSF) and the Federation des parents francophones de Colombie Britannique (FPFCB) have said the ruling by Justice Loryl

Russell gave them some victories, but included in the 1,601-page ruling are decisions the two bodies consider worrisome. The ruling follows six years of litigation into the question of equivalency of francophone and anglophone school buildings and provision of transportation of students, among other issues. The two groups raised concerns based on the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Russell ruled the province must develop

The Kamloops-Thompson school district is hiring a district sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) co-ordinator. The position will be partially funded by the ARC Foundation, a Vancouver-based not-forprofit that supports projects that address awareness, respect and capacity to improve those marginalized by their sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity or financial status. The Kamloops-Thompson board of education was told at its meeting last night in Vavenby that the co-ordinator will be responsible for raising SOGI awareness, for supporting teachers and students and for helping develop and implement policies and initiatives that align with new Ministry of Education policies and changes to the B.C. Human Rights Code. Job requirements

will include the following: • Conducting and documenting a thorough audit of existing local SOGI school resources; • Creating a SOGI toolkit for the school district that builds on local and international resources; • Establishing a local network of SOGI representatives from each school to share information and engage in professional development opportunities; • Supporting teachers and students with the creation of new gay, straight alliances (GSAs) in high schools and promoting existing GSAs to teachers, staff and administrators; • Providing guidance for teachers on incorporating SOGI awareness into grade-level curriculum, including the creation of lesson plans in support of SOGl issues; • Gathering and providing age-appropriate resource

Issues of concern, according to a CSF letter sent to its parents, include how the judge defined substantive equivalence of Frenchlanguage schools competing with Englishlanguage schools. Also of concern is Russell’s interpretation of other Charter challenges raised in terms of determining communities’ Frenchlanguage education needs.

A plan to prepare Kamloops for severe storms caused by climate change may have just become a whole lot cheaper. In her appearance at this past week’s annual UBCM convention in Victoria, Premier Christy Clark announced a new program, jointly funded by Ottawa and Victoria, that will offer up $370 million for sewage, stormwater and drinkingwater projects in communities across the province. Local governments would be required to contribute 17 per cent of a project’s cost. The City of Kamloops has several million dollars in stormwater upgrades it is hoping to put into place by 2020. During budget talks this year, city staff said not enough money has been put into its drainage system to deal with existing issues. At the time, council agreed to fund about $6.6 million in stormwater upgrades over the next several years, but staff said the full cost of getting the system to a steady

state could be closer to $21 million. Mayor Peter Milobar said the possibility of having the work funded 83 per cent by other levels of government would mean big savings for the city and taxpayers. “This is very significant,” he said. “That was our hope, that instead of doing a small project here and then another small project in a few years, we might be able to bundle several together and try to get a substantial amount of work done in short order for less of a hit on the property taxes.” The potential cash wasn’t the only good news at UBCM, Milobar said. More Mounties are also headed to Kamloops. Milobar said RCMP have committed to sending some of the 10 additional officers council asked for in 2015, as well as filling vacant existing positions. “That’s good and welcome news. It’s something we’ve been working with them on for a year now, so it’s nice to see some movement on that,” he said. Milobar said the new members should put the Kamloops detachment somewhere above 120

Mounties, with members arriving a few at a time in the next five to six months. “I know that doesn’t maybe seem quick, but in the RCMP world that is, considering they have to transfer people and they may have to sell property and things like that to re-locate,” Milobar said.

Meet second-vicepresident Singh

A Kamloops city councillor is on track to become president of the Union of B.C. Municipalities. Coun. Arjun Singh was elected second vice-president of UBCM at the annual convention. “It’s a big honour and it’s a good opportunity for some good information to come back to Kamloops, as well as some good representation for Kamloops,” he said. The organization lobbies the provincial and federal governments on behalf of municipal governments. Singh said this year’s convention, held in Victoria, featured a conversation on encouraging new rental housing projects he is eager to bring back to Kamloops’ staff.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE UBCM

very year, the province’s municipal politicians meet to discuss issues of importance to all communities and to debate resolutions to be taken to the provincial government. The annual Union of B.C. Municipalities convention does not produce scintillating headlines that provoke passion among readers — but much of the mundane work done at the gathering has serious implications for residents of Kamloops and other cities and towns in B.C. This year’s convention was no exception as Premier Christy Clark announced a new program, jointly funded by Ottawa and Victoria, that should help local taxpayers immensely when the now-expected summer storms produce flooding and the associated damage that flows from them. This past summer was the first in a number of years in which the city was not hit with a serious deluge. The program announced by Clark — and no doubt pushed toward becoming a reality by relentless municipal politicians — will see $370 million available for sewage, stormwater and drinking-water projects in communities across the province. Local governments such as Kamloops would be required to contribute 17 per cent of a project’s cost, which should result in future savings for city taxpayers. The City of Kamloops has several million dollars in stormwater upgrades it is hoping to put into place by 2020. Also revealed at this year’s UBCM convention was news the city will be welcoming more Mounties in the next half-year, which should finally see the Kamloops’ detachment’s numbers hit about 120, which is more than what the department has been working with for a number of years.

You can help direct future education plans in SD73

s the first month of school comes to a close, I’m pleased to share some important initiatives that have started this fall, which will guide how we deliver education services in the district over the next several years. Our five-year strategic plan is being developed to align with a new B.C. curriculum that has been introduced by the Ministry of Education and is being implemented in kindergarten through Grade 9. New curriculum for grades 10 through 12 will be introduced over the next year. The district’s strategic plan will enhance our ability to personalize learning experiences for all students, enabling them to learn through their interests and passions. Through the strategic plan, we will further define our organizational direction, which will help shape decisions on resource allocations. We’re confident this process will help our district create schools that provide students with the foundational

skills and competencies they need to realize their potential and become happy, contributing citizens. The development of strategic directions for SD73 will involve input from our education partners, families and the public. The plan will touch on themes related to the new curriculum, which is designed to address real-world problems by developing and applying competencies such as communication, critical thinking, creativity, cultural awareness and collaboration. We’ll inform our partners and the public about opportunities to participate in the

development of the strategic plan over the next month and provide links through individual schools, where stakeholders and families can contribute their ideas online. A second initiative advancing through the fall and winter is the SD73 calendar. The board, in consultation with our administration, is required to adopt a new school calendar guided by the following priorities: • A district and local calendar that ensures the best educational outcomes for students. • A three-year calendar to provide students, families and staff with continuity and predictability. Before changes are considered, we’re consulting with educators, staff, families and the public to gather input on the calendar. This outreach will occur through the same online process used to gather input on the strategic plan. We look forward to receiving your comments and ideas, which will assist the district in creating schools that truly reflect the needs of our students and community.

OBESITY FOCUS WORTHY OF HALL OF SHAME Editor: Sen. Nancy Greene Raine wants to delete advertising from the jerseys of sports clubs to stop obesity (‘Senator Greene Raine sets sights on fast-food sponsorship,’ Sept. 27). I’ve read some pretty stupid statements made by politicians over the years, but this one from Raines I’m hanging in my Hall of Shame. Does Raines or any other senator have nothing better

to do than to concentrate on sports advertising as the culprit to obesity? Where is her research? Taking away such sponsorship only damages recreation culture within a community that depends on such support. It will not stop the parents taking their kids to McDonald’s, Wendy’s or Subway. Teaching parents may be a good place to start in the work on ending obesity.

Bringing families up to a proper living wage so they can make better food choices may be a good place to start. I’m not going to debate the issue here as it is extensive. What Raines is planning as legislation is simply ludicrous. I remember a day when we didn’t have food banks. Now we have an industry with societies and executive directors and boards, etc. Instead of attacking the end

of the line, I think we need to concentrate on what can be done at the beginning of the procession — not only around food, but thinking also of the stress our youth are carrying.

LOCAL NEWS SUZUKI FOUNDATION CHAIR IN CITY NEXT WEEK

Building-permit numbers hit 500

ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The chair of the David Suzuki Foundation is coming to Kamloops for a series of free presentations. James Hoggan, president of a public-relations firm in Vancouver and co-founder of the website DeSmogBlog, will speak at Thompson Rivers University on Wednesday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. in the Alumni Theatre in the Clock Tower Building. His official topic is I’m Right and You’re An Idiot — The Toxic State of Public Disclosure. It’s a discussion on how misinformation campaigns can impact public discussions. On Thursday, Oct. 13, Hoggan will be at the Smorgasbord Deli, at Victoria Street and Seventh Avenue, for a 9 a.m. breakfast with local environmentalists to discuss the topic The Adversary Trap. Later that day, he will be in room 162 in the Arts and Education Building at TRU for a 2:30 p.m. lecture on foreign-funded radicals. Hoggan recently released a book that echoes the Wednesday theme. I’m Right and You’re An Idiot: The Toxic Stage of Public Discourse and How to Clean It Up looks at a fractured, confused society in which key debates are filled with misinformation and rhetoric designed to polarize opinions.

The City of Kamloops has now issued permits for more than 500 units of housing in 2016, busting through initial projections for the year. Permitting statistics from September show the city issued another 32 units worth of permits during the ninth month, about two-thirds of which were for single-family dwellings. To date, it has issued permits for 503 units, compared to the 279 issued by this time in 2015. Director of development and engineering services Marvin

Kwiatkowski said the city had expected to issue permits for about 375 units this year in total. “You get a few apartment complexes and that really helps those numbers,” he said. The city has so far given out permits for 335 multi-family units, compared to 101 in 2015, with at least one outstanding project — a 21-unit rental complex and furniture store in Valleyview — expected to be issued before the end of the year. The city saw increases in commercial and residential permit value for the month.

There were just under $10 million in residential permits issued, compared to $8 million in September of 2015, and $3.4 million in commercial permits handed out, compared to $2.7 million last year. But the city remains well back of last year’s permit numbers, with only $125 million in permits issued compared to $148 million at this time in 2015. Kwiatkowski said a slow commercial construction sector is to blame for the numbers. To date, the city has issued just under $18 million in commercial permits, compared to $46 million in 2015.

Proportional representation recommended CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A local committee formed to study electoral reform recommends dumping traditional first past the post in favour of some kind of proportional representation. The Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Election Reform Committee was formed this past summer after the federal Liberal government convened a parliamentary committee to study electoral reform, a plank of the party’s election platform last year when leader Justin Trudeau said the October 2015 election would be the last federally to use the first-past-the-post system. The committee will send its recommenda-

tion to the parliamentary committee on electoral reform that is touring Canada for submissions. It is not coming to Kamloops, which prompted the local effort. “First past the post has no support; referendum has no support,” said Murray Todd, one of the leaders and a former Liberal party candidate in Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo. The committee held a public forum earlier this month to look at the way Canadians vote for their politicians and alternatives used in other parts of the world. The consensus from the 100 or so people was a strong desire for change. While the forum and committee looked at a number of systems, Todd said it decided

against favouring one particular kind. Instead, it will advocate for proportional representation, but won’t recommend a particular kind — leaving it to the committee and House of Commons to decide. “We had a difference of opinion on the committee,” Todd said. “We felt it was up to the [parliamentary] committee in Ottawa to come up with a suitable form.” The Conservative party, including city MP Cathy McLeod, has repeatedly called for a referendum before changing Canada’s electoral system. Todd said the group rejected a referendum, noting there has never been a successful vote in favour of electoral reform in Canada.

THE MANY COLOURS OF FALL

Thompson Rivers University librarian Julia Wells joined her peers in showing support during the recent Pride Parade on campus. The third annual event attracted a large and diverse crowd.

A Kamloops candidate finished a close second in a provincewide vote to choose the leader of the Métis Nation of B.C. Dean Gladue, a former RCMP member with deep Métis roots, garnered 40 fewer votes than the winning tally of 731 by Clara Morin Dal Co, who was part of the existing leadership. Deborah Canada, who is also from Kamloops, came in third with 253 votes. “It was close,” Gladue said. “It sends a message to the establishment. I was the new kid on the block.” Gladue said he is getting involved with the local Two Rivers Métis Society and is already being asked to run again in four years. “It was a great experience and really great to understand the federal side of it,” he said.

INTEREST RATE WILL REMAIN LOW Last month, the Bank of Canada announced it was keeping its trendsetting target overnight lending rate at 0.5 per cent. The bank acknowledged that inflation risks were “tilted more to the downside since July” when it published its most recent economic forecast Normally, this would signal that it may lower interest rates in the near future. However, the bank also said it remains concerned about rising mortgage debt, throwing cold water on the idea that it might lower rates for fear of fueling further household debt.

Alberta premier wants pipeline for climate-change support Improved infrastructure would help province’s economic situation, Notley says DEAN BENNETT

THE CANADIAN PRESS

EDMONTON — Alberta Premier Rachel Notley drew a line in the oilsands yesterday when she said she will not support Ottawa’s climate change plan unless the federal government makes progress on new oil pipelines to Canada’s coasts. “An ambitious public policy move like this, even one as worthwhile as this, needs to be built on top of a fundamentally healthy economic foundation,’’ Notley said at an event at city hall. “And a new pipeline is what will give that, not only to Alberta, but to all of Canada.’’ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a national floor price on carbon as he kicked off debate in the House of Commons yesterday over whether Canada should

ratify the Paris accord on climate change. The federal plan calls for a $10-per-tonne price on carbon starting in 2018. That would rise by $10 per tonne each year until reaching $50 per tonne in 2022. It would be imposed on provinces that don’t at least match the tax with direct pricing or through a cap-andtrade mechanism. All revenue would go to the province or jurisdiction where it was raised. Notley’s NDP is bringing in its own broad-based carbon tax based on the equivalent of $20 per tonne of carbon emissions on Jan. 1. That is to rise to $30 a tonne in 2018. The tax will raise the price of heating bills and gas at the pumps, but middle- and lower-income Albertans will see some or all of that cost rebated. Notley said that to ask

Albertans to pay even more than the $30-per-tonne level — and to help the rest of Canada — the federal government needs to couple its climate plan with action on energy infrastructure such as a pipeline. “Albertans, as you know, have contributed to Canada’s prosperity for many, many years,’’ she said. “For us to continue doing that, in order for us to come back from the oil-price crash that we’re all experiencing, we need Canada to have our backs.’’ Notley had not previously tied support for a climate change plan to infrastructure, but did say it was hoped Alberta’s actions would build “social licence’’ to remove the province’s climate record as an impediment in discussions. Alberta is being hammered by low oil prices that have

turned multibillion-dollar budgets just a few years ago to a forecast $10.9-billion deficit this year, and unemployment and office vacancy rates are rising. A pipeline to the coast would allow the province’s oil to fetch a better price on overseas markets. Opposition Wildrose Leader Brian Jean said now is the wrong time for any carbon tax, given Alberta’s economic situation. And, he added, Notley should not be offering any quid pro quo. “Tying a single pipeline approval to [carbon] taxation sets a dangerous precedent. Alberta needs to make it clear to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this will never be acceptable,’’ said Jean. “Our province’s economic interests should not be held hostage by politicians in Ottawa.’’

for young Canadians. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had vowed to create 5,000 green jobs for young people annually, with thousands slated to be guides and interpreters at Parks Canada — part of a larger strategy to give young workers more opportunities to earn money and to combat youth unemployment. The agency employed 1,636 students this past summer, an increase of 435 over the students employed during summer 2015, Parks Canada data shows — but only one-third of the total promised by Trudeau, despite the millions of dollars that went into the federal youth employment strategy in the government’s first budget. The green jobs the Liberals promised are expected to surpass 2,000 by the end of the fiscal year next March, based on

figures provided by Employment and Social Development Canada, which oversees the federal youth employment strategy. The final tally won’t be known until fall 2017, the department said. Internal government documents suggest the result shouldn’t have surprised the government and warn that Parks Canada may be unable to help meet the promise in the remaining three years of the Liberals’ mandate. The agency warned federal officials shortly after the election that it was going to have “significant capacity challenges’’ in meeting the campaign commitment of hiring 5,000 young people as guides and interpreters. The concern was mentioned as part of a briefing note provided to a senior official at Employment and Social Development Canada in November.

Ottawa brings in new rules for real estate THE CANADIAN PRESS

The federal government has announced B.C. News new plans to stabilize the real estate market as concerns mount over rising housing costs in Vancouver and Toronto. Finance Minister Bill Morneau said Ottawa will close tax loopholes surrounding the capital gains tax exemption on the sale of a principal residence. Some said the rules have been abused by foreign buyers and Morneau said the changes will ensure only Canadian residents get the exemption. Morneau said he will also bring in a mortgage-rate stress test for all insured borrowers starting later this month following a report last week by a Swiss bank that warned Vancouver tops the global list of cities at risk of enduring a popped housing bubble.

BC Ferries adding extra sailings for Thanksgiving long weekend B.C. Ferries is adding an additional 70 trips to help avoid any major delays or back-ups over the Thanksgiving long weekend. Most of the extra sailings from Thursday to Monday will be on the busiest crossing, with 56 trips added on the Tsawwassen-Swartz Bay route. Twelve additional sailings have also been scheduled on the Horseshoe Bay-Departure Bay route during peak times, while an extra round trip will be provided between Horseshoe Bay and Langdale on Monday night. BC Ferries said Thanksgiving Monday is traditionally the busiest day of the year for foot passengers and it’s advising people to arrive at the terminals well in advance and to consider travelling before noon on the holiday Monday.

First Nations, environmentalists ask for federal review of Site C project The federal government is being asked to rethink approval of B.C’s Site C dam on grounds it threatens a national park that is a World Heritage Site.

They said the situation is so serious that they will ask UNESCO to put the park on its list of threatened sites. UNESCO investigators have been in Alberta visiting the park and are to report in November, with the U.N. agency to rule next summer.

TSB launches investigation into grounding of whale-watching boat A vessel belonging to a Vancouver Island whale-watching company is being brought to dry dock for repairs after running aground on the weekend. A spokesman with Jamie’s Whaling Station in Tofino said no one on board was hurt when the Stellar Sea got stuck during a bear-watching tour on Saturday. The Transportation Safety Board said vessel suffered some damage to its hull and an investigation into the partial sinking has begun. The grounding came nearly a year after six people died when another boat owned by Jamie’s Whaling Station was hit by a rogue wave north of Tofino, throwing 27 people into the water.

BACK IN THE SWIM OF THINGS IN FOUR MONTHS

Work on replacing the roof of the Westsyde Pool and Community Centre is well underway, with anticipated completion and re-opening of the pool on Jan. 30, 2017. The city has budgeted $3.1 million for the pool project, with $2.3 million of the cost for construction (the full figure includes engineering, contingency funds and other work). D&T Developments Ltd. is in charge of the project. The pool was shut down in June 2015 after the city discovered moisture from the pool had crept up through the ceiling, into the roof, rotting it from the inside out and requiring a total roof replacement.

2017 start to Tobiano’s planned golf condo-hotel CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A proposed condo-hotel at Tobiano resort’s golf course remains in the pre-sales phase, something that will delay development until at least next year. Terry Smith, general manager of Tobiano Golf Course, said the project needs sufficient pre-sales before it can commit to construction. Developers initially hoped to begin work on the project in late summer or early fall of this year. “We’re getting lots of interest,” Smith said. “It’s a process where people want to do a lot of due diligence.” The 17-unit condo-hotel will be a first for the golf course and will mirror condo-hotels typically found at ski resorts. Units, which can be split to rent a bedroom separately, are targeted at individual investors and rented to overnight guests. Called The Views, the condo-hotel will use a modular design from Horizon North Logistics, which has an office and production plant in the Mount Paul Industrial Park

on the Tk’emlups Indian Reserve. Smith said that modular design means it’s possible to construct the project in smaller phases, which may speed development. The golf course is owned by investors John Preston of Palm Beach, Fla., and Henry Bereznicki of Edmonton. It is owned separately from Tobiano Resort, the main real-estate development now controlled by local investors. Tobiano Golf will free up land for The Views by eliminating a putting green near the clubhouse. In August, when announcing The Views project, Smith told KTW the project is not intended to compete with hotels in Kamloops, where Tobiano golfers must currently stay. “We want ability for golfers to play and stay on-site,” he said. “We’re a resort without a hotel.” A hotel for Six Mile Ranch (later renamed Tobiano by original developer Mike Grenier) was first announced in 1991, when the parcel was purchased by Japanese firm ALM Vacation International. In 1997, Grenier announced his firm had purchased the land and planned a subdivision and resort project that would include hotels.

Invest Well. Live Well. Our Top Tips for Executors

Being appointed as an executor of an estate is an honor and tremendous responsibility. When asked after the fact, most executors would never want to do it again because of the time, energy and personal liability should there be any mistakes. Last article, we provided some estate planning strategies that may help ease the transfer of assets and save taxes. As a follow up, we want to emphasize some tips that executors could use if or when they must deal with an estate: 1)

Silence is golden, until it comes to estates - keep beneficiaries in the loop with progress, the next steps and timelines. A great tool is to use e-mail as it acts as a document showing your detailed correspondence. Do not allow anyone to keep the original Will, remove staples or write on it. Most financial institutions will make a copy and stamp the copy to note that they saw the original.

Keep copies of all transactions. There is an incredible amount to cover as an executor, and should anything come into question, you will want to have copies of everything. Make notes as to who you spoke with, when and the outcome.

Avoid paying costs from your own account. Banks and credit unions will create an estate account to pay household or pertinent estate bills when presented a bill or invoice.

Automate household bills (electricity, property taxes, house insurance, strata, gas, garage, city utilities, etc.) to help ensure they do not lapse.

Get help – it is natural to feel overwhelmed. Rely on a knowledgeable financial advisor, lawyer or accountant. In addition, you could opt for “executor assistance” whereby you consult with professionals who regularly deal with processing estates.

Stay organized - there are several books and checklists available for executors to help tackle an estate one step at a time.

We typically move all the investments into secure, liquid and guaranteed vehicles to help preserve the estate values and limit executor liability should the investments drop between death and disbursement. Beneficiaries tend to be upset if they receive less than anticipated! Investigate all insurance possibilities such as: personal policies, work or group insurance, credit card, mortgage and debt policies, annuities, segregated funds, etc.

10) Consider applying the taxable CPP death benefit (a maximum of $2,500) towards the estate's taxes. 11) A fairly unknown yet powerful tax provision allows unused net capital losses from prior years that remain after reducing any current year capital gains, to be applied against any income on a terminal return. For example, if the deceased lost money on Nortel or Bre-X, they may be able to apply this against ordinary income. Ordinarily, this can only be done when capital gains are available. 12) Upon the granting of probate, it is common to disburse a portion of the estate. However, it is generally not recommended to distribute all the estate proceeds until you have a clearance certificate. 13) Money and emotions are a powerful and volatile mix. If the estate is contentious, we strongly recommend professional guidance to help protect yourself, as well as, the beneficiaries. The estate would cover professional fees. It is difficult to cover all the potential issues regarding executors. There are several resources that we are happy to share with you. Since executors can be personally liable for errors, we feel it makes good sense to seek professional assistance.

The province needs to invest in infrastructure for water storage, B.C. Cattlemen’s Association told a committee of government and Opposition MLAs. The association was one of a number of presenters to the Select Standing Committee on Finance and Government Services that met in Kamloops recently. Association general manager Kevin Boon made the recommendations to the committee. “It’s an investment not just for agriculture, but there’s huge value to manage flows for fish and recreation,” he told KTW. The association is calling on government funding to maintain existing dams and create new areas in plateau regions of B.C. to hold back water, something he said is important to adapt to climate change. “We don’t have a snowmelt and runoff through the year — this April so much melted so quick,” Boon said. The association is also calling fort renewed funding to help slow growth of invasive plants, including knapweed, on Crown land.

NDP Leader John Horgan speaks to local government leaders at the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria on Thursday.

Horgan blasts Clark’s record TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

A combative NDP Leader John Horgan reminded B.C. community leaders Thursday that Premier Christy Clark’s ministers haven’t always been as welcoming to them as they are at their annual convention. Horgan recalled Clark pointing to local governments holding up new housing developments and Housing Minister Rich Coleman’s response to concerns about an affordable housing crisis, “and I quote, some people just have to get up and whine every day.” He also quoted Communities Minister Peter Fassbender telling Metro Vancouver communities two weeks ago to “suck it up” and pay for their share of new transit. The municipal share has dropped from 33 per cent to 17 thanks to an increased contribution from the federal govern-

ment, a fact Clark didn’t mention in her speech to delegates on Wednesday, Horgan said. Both leaders gave campaignstyle speeches to the Union of B.C. Municipalities convention in Victoria this past week, the last annual gathering of mayors, councillors and regional district representatives before next spring’s provincial election. Fassbender closed the convention with his speech Friday. Horgan repeated his vow that an NDP government would increase its provincial share for transit funding from 33 to 40 per cent, leaving local governments to contribute only 10 per cent. That formula would extend to costshared infrastructure in all communities, he said. Horgan said Clark’s top priority for the Lower Mainland is a $3.5-billion bridge to replace the Massey Tunnel under the Fraser River, a low priority for local communities.

Meanwhile, the Vancouver Board of Trade and the B.C. Federation of Labour are in rare agreement that increased transit should be the priority, he said. Horgan estimates his transit increase would cost the province an extra $50 million a year. Responding for the B.C. Liberal government, Advanced Education Minister Andrew Wilkinson called Horgan’s speech a “scattergun approach to government” and referred to the government’s recently announced $500-million fund to subsidize low-cost housing. “We’re hearing from the NDP that they want to build things, but we’re saying, let’s do things that work,” Wilkinson said. “Things like rent subsidies, things like housing for the vulnerable.” Horgan said the housing fund will be a constant source of new announcements, predicting a preelection spending spree after years of denying that a housing crisis exists.

ometimes, there is reluctance when students are asked to come forward and talk with the team that brings ReachOut to secondary schools. But once it starts, often there are more who want to get involved than can be accommodated during the presentations that bring music and brain science together to educate young people and their teachers about psychosis. The concert tour lands in Kamloops this week, with performances tomorrow at NorKam, Thursday at Westsyde and Friday at South Kamloops. The group will be at each school through-

out the mornings and in Salmon Arm and Merritt in the afternoons. Tour co-ordinator Susan Nase, who has been with the program for four years, said they bring music courtesy of the band Froghead, composed of Mike Young, James Meger, Gavin Youngash and Aaron Klassen. Nase said the dialogue involves the performers bringing a level of comfort and ease for the audience to learn that psychosis is a health issue, nothing to be ashamed of and something that cannot be ignored. For example, Young talks about his high school years, when he had depression that caused some psychosis. A friend helped him get treatment in 2003 and he has been sharing his story with stu-

There were three Kamloops Community Football teams in action on the weekend, two of them posting victories. The local atom squad downed the West Kelowna Tiger Cats 34-14 and the River City’s peewee white team blanked West Kelowna 48-0. West Kelowna beat the junior Kamloops Broncos 28-6.

Marsh a celebrity in the hockey world From A19

“I just sit back and I know that nobody is going to get hurt,” Fred told KTW in an interview earlier this year in his home in Kamloops, which has doubled as the Marsh Pegs head office for nearly 20 years. “I just think, ‘Wow, I did that.’” The pegs made Fred a celebrity in the hockey universe. He met the likes of Wayne Gretzky and Gordie Howe. He was interviewed by Ron MacLean and Don Cherry. He accepted a Manning Innovation Award for the invention in 2000, appearing on the cover of a Montreal newspaper with Montreal Canadiens’ great Serge Savard, whose professional career was nearly ended after colliding with a net — frozen into the ice, as was the norm dur-

ing Savard’s career — and fracturing his leg in five places. “He was a great guy,” Cherry said on Coach’s Corner on Thursday evening in a segment remembering Fred. “You people don’t know what he’s done for hockey.” Fred beat the odds in his battle with cancer. He was diagnosed with lung cancer three-and-a-half years ago and, at the time, doctors didn’t think he had much time left. “He walked into the room with dad’s file and he said, ‘You know, in my 40 years, I’ve never seen a case like this. Did you know that you’re the miracle man?” Laurel said, recalling a recent anecdote with Fred’s oncologist. “We didn’t know it at the time when he was first diagnosed, but they suspected that he only had weeks to live and

my dad made it three-and-a-half years after that. “He did very well.” The Marsh Peg was a labour of love for Fred and Sheila — in the years he spent developing the product, Fred nearly gave up, but Sheila pushed him to keep going. He passed the company along to his grandson, Dallas, in July. The Canadianmade product will remain in the family. “When I first came up with the idea, they just laughed at me,” Fred said in January, recalling that even his family thought it was a silly idea. “Now, he’s everybody’s favourite uncle,” Sheila said with a smile. In lieu of flowers, the Marsh family is asking donations be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association, whose care provided comfort to Fred and his family in his final days.

‘I’m just saying thank you — and I’m so happy’ From A19

“We have to move on,” said Irene, who broke briefly from packing to chat with KTW. “The party, it was beautiful, lovely. “The club was Henry’s whole entire life. It’s time to move on, but it will take some getting used to.” Henry is no longer the young buck who joined the club nearly 60 years ago. He had a heart attack on Christmas Eve last year after scraping ice off his driveway. The Uyedas, who have three daughters and six grandchildren, need to downsize and want to be closer to family on the Coast. When Henry began instructing in 1963, his goal was to pay respect to the club’s founders, Yosh Yoshida, Kaz Yokoyama and Frank Maeda. The longtime Kamloops Ford Lincoln employee never pictured a nearly 60-year tenure at the KJC. “Henry basically has been the judo club since 1999,” said sensei Rick Pollon, who has taken over the head instructor role. “He’s been the foundation of the club and Irene has been letting him do this for the past 58 years or so. “It’s his whole entire life and, for me, he’s been an inspiration.” The Uyedas’ house was hollow as movers traipsed through rooms lifting the last of the furniture to the truck outside. There was a feeling of emptiness, a vacuum of life which the judo club will surely experience in the coming weeks, woth its longtime sensei no longer around. Pollon guessed Henry has impacted about 9,000 students. “It’s a huge legacy,” Pollon said. “I joined in 1998. I’ve seen how many students come and have moved on, but he remembers every one of them. “They might have left when they were nine, but they come back in and he looks at them and says, ‘Oh, where have you been?’ Like, really, how do you know all these people?” Henry has taken instructors and students on trips to Japan and spent thousands of hours and dollars on club excursions. “I’ll communicate with him always,” Pollon said. “He’ll always be my sensei. He was so big on respect and teaching about community.” The club started in the basement of the Kamloops Buddhist Temple, then moved to different halls throughout the city between 1956 and 1975.

Irene Uyeda (above) took in the sights and sounds at the Kamloops Judo Club’s 60th anniversary celebration at Columbo Lodge on Saturday. The celebration doubled as a sendoff party for Irene’s husband, sensei Henry Uyeda, who has been with the club since 1959.

teers, Yosh Yoshida built the Kamloops Dojo and an opening ceremony was held on May 24, 1975. Henry has helped guide the club through many transition periods and endeavoured to keep it afloat during lean years, especially in the last decade. “There were more members earlier on because they didn’t have all the big draws kids are going toward now, with soccer and all the other types of martial arts that came in,” Irene said. “Before, it was just judo.” “You work hard and you don’t get too much members and it’s kind of disappointing,” said Henry, who took over the head instructor position from Yoshida in 1999. “You struggle, but you keep on going.” Irene was asked if it had sunk in yet, the thought of

leaving Kamloops, the city in which she was born and raised. “Probably not. There are lots of memories, finding old diaries and pictures, tossing out things we can’t take with us,” she said. “It’s nostalgic and forward-looking the same time.” When they merge onto the Coquihalla and head toward the Lower Mainland, perhaps then Henry and Irene can spend a few hours reflecting, with the stress of moving in the rearview mirror, along with a lifetime of memories. “I just wanted to do a good job, so I respect those people who came before,” Henry said. “I’m so proud to be part of the Kamloops Judo Club. I’m so proud that the club is going strong. I’m just saying thank you very much — and I’m so happy.”

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Nick Chyzowski of the Kamloops Blazers scored a goal in a 5-2 triumph over Dante Hannoun and the hometown Victoria Royals on Saturday.

Blazers drop two of three on road Three games in as many days produced one win and a pair of losses for the Kamloops Blazers, who played twice on Vancouver Island before wrapping up the three-game road swing in Langley against the Vancouver Giants on Sunday. The Giants posted their first win of the WHL season, disposing of the visiting Blazers 3-1 at the Langley Events Centre. James Malm scored twice and Kamloops product Brendan Semchuk added a single for Vancouver (1-4), which went with Ryan Kubic between the pipes. Kubic made 27 saves, while Connor Ingram stopped 22 shots in a losing effort in net for the Blazers. Luke Zazula scored for Kamloops, the 16-year-old defenceman’s second goal of the campaign. The Blazers earned a split against the Royals, losing 1-0 on Friday before bouncing back with a 5-2 victory on Saturday. Kamloops had goals from five players in the win on Saturday, with Quinn Benjafield, Nick Chyzowski, Deven Sideroff, Matt Revel and Jermaine Loewen finding the net. Collin Shirley had three assists for the visitors. Ingram stopped 21 shots and posted the win between the pipes, while Griffen Outhouse made 24 saves in a losing effort for the Royals.

Neither team clicked on the power play on Saturday, the Blazers finishing 0-for-2 and the Royals 0-for-6. Kamloops played well on Friday, but were stymied by Outhouse and the Royals in a shutout defeat. Ingram stopped 23 shots in the loss. The Blazers (2-3) will be in Red Deer to play the Rebels tomorrow, the first tilt of a three-game swing through the Central Division. Kamloops will play the Hitmen in Calgary on Friday and the Tigers in Medicine Hat on Saturday. The Blazers’ next home game is slated for Oct. 12, when the Spokane Chiefs roll into town.

Blazers reassign two players

The Blazers reassigned 16-year-old forward Brodi Stuart and 17-year-old defenceman Tylor Ludwar to their respective midget teams yesterday. Stuart played in four pre-season

games and one regular-season game with the Blazers. The Langley product had two assists in the pre-season. He will play this season with the Fraser Valley Thunderbirds of the B.C. Major Midget Hockey League. Ludwar was pointless in four preseason games. The Regina native will play this season with the Regina Pat Canadians of the Saskatchewan Midget AAA Hockey League. The Blazers’ roster sits at 24 players, including three goaltenders, eight defencemen and 13 forwards.

Steeling honours

The Western Hockey League announced yesterday Regina Pats’ forward Sam Steel is the WHL Player of the Week for the period ending Oct. 2. Steel registered seven points, four of them goals, in two games to help the Pats post a 2-0 record on the weekend. He scored twice on Friday against the Edmonton Oil Kings and concluded the weekend with a five-point effort in a 7-2 triumph over the Red Deer Rebels on Sunday. The 18-year-old product of Sherwood Park, Alta., was returned to the Pats from the Anaheim Ducks last week. He is tied for third in the league with four goals.

KAMLOOPS’ NO. 1 AUTO-BUYERS’ GUIDE

Five cars that shone at Paris show horsepower gasoline engine. Prices start at 50,900 euros ($74,908 CAD) and head north to 74,300 euros ($109,344 CAD).

DAVID MCHUGH

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

PARIS — An obscenely powerful hybrid sports car, a family-friendly SUV with enough space for seven adults and an electric vehicle that promises to keep going for over 300 miles (500 kilometres) on a single charge — these are some of the notable vehicles shining on the display stands under bright overhead lights at the Paris auto show. Executives at this year’s show are talking about how the industry can adapt to — or, better yet, profit from — disruptive change such as electric engines, networked vehicles, car sharing and autonomous driving. All that could start coming together between 2020 and 2025, some think. Right now, however, they have some cars they want to sell. Here are five of the vehicles getting the most attention at the Paris Mondial de L’Automobile, which runs through Oct. 16.

Laferrari Aperta

This limited edition of the Ferrari’s LaFerrari supercar offers the pleasures of open-top driving in a car that performs pretty much like a Formula

Opel Ampera-E

The 2017 Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid impressed at the Paris auto show. The car goes on sale in November.

One racer. It’s a hybrid, meaning its electric motor assists the monster 12-cylinder internal combustion engine to add even more powerful acceleration. The car does 0-100 kph (0-62 mph) in less than three seconds, and offers a top speed of 350 kph (217 mph). With the top off, aerodynamic design channels away the airflow so that the two occupants can conduct a conversation even at high speeds. That’s if they’re not relishing the finely tuned roar of the engine, or its “soundtrack,’’ as the company puts it, promising “full, harmonious sound that’s more

intoxicating than ever.’’ All 200 are already sold at prices of 1.8-2.0 million euros ($2.0-$2.2 million).

Porsche Panamera 4 E-Hybrid

It’s a comfortable four-door sedan. No, it’s a high-performance sports car. If it’s the Panamera, it’s a little bit of both. The all-wheel drive car draws on the technology used in the company’s 918 Spyder supercar so that the electric motor continually adds power; the car accelerates to 100 kph (62 kph) in just 4.6 seconds and reaches a top speed of 270 kph (168 mph).

DRAW DATE: OCTOBER 4TH

It can go up to 50 kilometres (31 miles) on just the battery — making the vehicle a little quieter than, say, the company’s 911 sports car — and emits a relatively low 56 grams per kilometre of carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas blamed by scientists for global warming. The vehicle goes on sale in November. The price in France is 110,222 euros ($162,210 CAD), including value-added tax.

Jaguar Land Rover Discovery

large SUV has room for seven adults in three rows. The seats can be rearranged remotely through a smartphone app even when the operator is outside the vehicle, and the second and third rows can fold flat in 14 seconds. The suspension automatically lowers the car four centimetres to make it easier to get in and out. There are six charging points, places to store iPads, nine USB ports, and a 4G WiFi hotspot that can handle up to eight devices. There’s no shortage of power for towing, with three diesel variants of 180, 240 and 258 horsepower and a 340

This is the European version of the Chevrolet Bolt five-door hatchback going on sale this year in the United States and early next year in Europe. It has attracted attention by getting a range rating of 238 miles (383 kilometres) under the U.S. standard on a full charge; the company promises a 310-mile (500 kilometre) range as measured by the European standard. It claims drivers can add 150 kilometres (93 miles) in 30 minutes of charging. Those distances may not be equaled in everyday driving, with the European test standard, for example assumptions relatively gentle acceleration. Many obstacles remain before allelectric vehicles reach widespread acceptance. Will this car be a significant jump toward making electrics seem more practical to priceconscious regular car buyers? As always, the market will provide the answer. The U.S. manu-

facturer’s suggested retail price is $37,495 ($49,188 CAD) which doesn’t count the tax break of up to $7,500 ($9,840 CAD).

BMW X2

BMW showed off a potential new addition to its X-series of SUVs and crossovers. This one offers a sportier take with a flat roofline and big air intakes giving the grill a wider, more aggressive look. The company calls it a “sport-activity coupe,’’ referring to its lower roofline — more like the sloping shape of a coupe than a boxier SUV. BMW tweaked the trademark kidney shaped twin grilles, flipping them upside down so that they narrow from bottom up. The look is enhanced with a different slant to the windshield and lower stance. “The BMW X2 is really tapping into a new market, the sortof coupe style SUV.” said Jim Holder, editorial director of Autocar, automotive magazine. “It is showing that SUVs are not just about being practical, they can be fun and they can be sporty as well.’ It’s still a concept car, meaning no date for it to go on sale or price information.

FUN NAMES

This puzzle is not so math-oriented. Instead, try thinking about things differently. Can you have fun with company names and how the fun version might be marketed? When I lived in Bellingham, I came up with a spoof version of Horizon Bank: ”Tired of dealing with banks with their headquarters in huge skyscrapers? Deal with a bank that is down to earth. Come to Horizontal Bank. Member FDIC.” Give the correct (or known-by) name of a company your fun name (one point), and marketing message (optional and also one point). Note that the fun version need not be in the same business. It just has to sound similar. Now, keep doing it. How many points can you get out of Kamloops?

The answer to this week’s puzzle will be published in the October 11th edition of Kamloops This Week.

A meaningful conversation with the right person may occur this week, Aquarius. It could mean a step in the right direction for you and help to further your career.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20

Pisces, your emotions are so strong this week that you may feel alienated from those closest to you. If so, make an effort to stay connected.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Robert Kelly Dahl

June 13, 1957 – September 26, 2016 It is with heartfelt sorrow that we announce the passing of Robert Kelly Dahl on September 26, 2016 at Kelowna General Hospital. Kelly leaves behind his loving wife of 19 years Camilla, daughter Amy, son Jeremy, step-daughter Robyn (Derek) Sampson and little Avery who will miss her Papa Kelly so much. In addition, parents Robert and Margaret Dahl of Osoyoos, sister Patti (Ron) of Lacombe, AB along with nephew Christopher and niece Emily of Lacombe, AB. He will be truly missed by his black lab, beloved and faithful companion Meia. You rarely saw one without the other. Kelly is pre-deceased by his brother Mark. Kelly grew up in a Military family where both his parents served. The military life took them to Alberta, Quebec, Germany, Arizona and Cold Lake, AB where he eventually graduated high school from Grand Centre High. Kelly was always an outdoor enthusiast. He loved the water, the mountains and had an incredible passion for downhill skiing. He could not be outskied on the mountains. He worked as a ski instructor in Jasper where he became a Level 3 ski instructor with the Canadian Ski Instructor’s Alliance and eventually taught his whole family to be avid skiers. During his time in Jasper, Kelly worked in a local Japanese restaurant called Tokyo Tom’s where he learned some amazing culinary skills. He was always inventive and creative in the kitchen. While working in Jasper National Park, he decided to pursue a career as a National Park Warden so he enrolled at Lethbridge Community College Environmental Science Renewable Resource Management program in the fall of 1982. During his college years, he was employed as a Student Temporary Employment Program (STEP) officer with Alberta Fish & Wildlife and was posted in Nordegg and Valleyview in Alberta. It was during this timeframe that he recognized he wanted to become a Conservation Officer versus being a Park Warden. He preferred conservation over preservation. In 1986 Kelly was hired by the BC Ministry of Environment as a Conservation Officer and was initially posted in Chilliwack. While in Chilliwack, Kelly started to dabble in utilizing wildlife decoys as an enforcement tool and eventually became one of the go-to persons in the use of decoys for the province. His involvement and dedicated work in the Steelhead Society earned him the prestigious Cal Woods Award in 1988 given out by the BC Steelhead Society. This was one of Kelly’s most prized

awards. After three years, Kelly took a promotion to Smithers in 1989 as the District Conservation Officer. Kelly had become a tenacious and determined field officer. While in Smithers, Kelly gained the reputation as a game warden who you didn’t want on your trail. In 1994, he was named Conservation Officer of the Year for outstanding service in the Conservation field; an award so deserving of his love for conservation. This was another award he cherished. Kelly met his wife Camilla Gale, a BC Environment office assistant, in Smithers and they were married in March 1997. In the summer of 1997 Kelly, Camilla, step-daughter Robyn and his faithful yellow lab Rocky moved to Kamloops. Kelly took on various CO roles in the Kamloops office. While in Kamloops, Kelly and Camilla increased their family size with Amy in 1998 and Jeremy in 2000. Kelly’s family was very important to him and everything he did and worked for was for his family. They held family season ski passes to Sunpeaks every year since moving to Kamloops and Kelly was always adamant the family skied together. While in Kamloops, Kelly took on various lead roles in many investigations and was called on throughout the country as an expert witness for many court cases. In 2014, Kelly became the lead investigator for the Mount Polley investigation which is the largest environmental investigation undertaken by the Conservation Officer Service. In 2015, he was appointed lead Inspector Officer in Charge for the Mount Polley task force with the Major Investigations Unit, a position he excelled in. His honour, integrity and meticulous work, led him to be highly respected by family, friends, co-workers and many provincial and federal departments throughout the province, country and parts of the US. A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday, October 15, 2016 at 2:00 pm at the Summit Drive Church, 1975 Summit Drive, Kamloops. Kelly had a nature you could not help but love, and a heart that was purer than gold. To those who knew him and loved him, the memory of Kelly will never grow dim. In lieu of flowers, a bank account at Royal Bank of Canada Kamloops (Sahali branch) has been set up for both Kelly’s children. Cheques may be made out to Amy Dahl and Jeremy Dahl. E-Transfers are also accepted at kidsofkelly@gmail.com. You may also choose to donate to the BC SPCA (Kamloops branch) in Kelly’s honor. A huge and sincere Thank You to the staff in the ICU at both Royal Inland Hospital Kamloops and Kelowna General Hospital, Alternatives Funeral & Cremation services and the BC Conservation Officer service especially Mike Sanderson, close friend and co-worker to Kelly.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Frederick James Marsh on September 28, 2016 at the age of 81. He fought a courageous battle with cancer for 3 and a half years. Left to mourn are his devoted wife of 60 years Sheila, his four children Greg (Nancy), Laurel (Cal), Kelly (Marg) and Freddie (Dave), his seven grandchildren Dallas (Trish), Josh (Suzie), Dustin (Joelle), Shannon, Dana, Dayton and Tayler, his four great-grandchildren Isla, Julia, Grayson and Bentley and his three step-grandchildren Colton, Pharrynn and Kingston. He also leaves his brothers Roy and Ray (Alvera), sisters-in-law Joan and Maxine and numerous nieces and nephews. Fred was predeceased by his parents Reginald and Clara and siblings Bob, Earl, Dorothy and Jean. Fred was born on November 30, 1934 in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan. He was an athlete whose primary sports were hockey and golf. As a boy, Fred spent as many hours as he could on the golf course. He would caddy to earn money to play a round, and if he didn’t have enough money, he would get up early to get in a “free” game before the course opened. In the winter, Fred spent countless hours playing hockey on frozen ponds and on the street. As the youngest of five brothers, he would have to borrow an older brother’s skates and stick, but nothing got in the way of his love of hockey. Fred was very talented at both hockey and golf and they were lifelong passions for him.

It’s lonely here without you we miss you more each day. For life is not the same to us since you were called away.

Love Audrey and Family

Doreen will be greatly missed by her sister Shirley, children Tracy, Bruce, Max, and grandchildren Robert (Lindsay), Valerie, Justin (Faith) and Alyssa.

Her passions in life were cooking and baking, her grandchildren and hockey. She will be remembered for her cookies and tarts and her buttered buns at the Anavets. No funeral by request. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, October 29, 2016 at Anavets #290, 9-177 Tranquille Road, Kamloops at 10:30 am.

Doreen Clark

Fred and the love of his life Sheila were happily married for almost 61 years. They had a true partnership and were each other’s best friends until the day Fred died. They lived in Moose Jaw and Saskatoon for the first part of their marriage and then moved to Kitimat where they remained until they retired to Kamloops. Fred worked for over forty years in arenas at every level of operation from icemaking and maintenance to management. This experience led to the development of many innovations in arena equipment, including the MARSH FLEXIBLE GOAL PEGS in 1984, which continue to prevent injuries to hockey players all over the world. Fred will be greatly missed. A Memorial Service will be held for family only. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Kamloops Hospice Association. Their devoted care provided immense comfort to Fred and his family during his final days.

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.

Footprints

Rose Ebl New 1927- 2016

Rose Ebl New of Kamloops passed away on September 30, 2016 at 89 years of age.

One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.

Rose is survived by her children Tom (Karen) New and Valerie (Jim) Kershaw all of Kamloops, grandchildren Michael New, Charles New, Mark Kershaw, Kyle Kershaw and numerous great-grandchildren, niece Rosemary, Nephews Doug, Joe, Gord, Fred, Bill, Leonard and Greg along with numerous greatnephews and nieces as well as great-great nephews and nieces.

When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.

She was predeceased by husband Bob New and sister Emily Filek. Rose was born in Nordeg, AB on September 4, 1927 to Joseph and Rosie Fabry. She moved to Luscar, AB, then to Kamloops, BC at age 10. Rose completed her education at St. Ann’s Academy.

This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”

She married Bob in 1965 and worked for the Government Agents Office until 1966 when she retired to look after her new family. Rose loved dancing, gardening, fishing, bus trips to Reno and walking around McArthur Island. When the yard work got to be too much Rose and Bob moved to the Shores Retirement Residence where she lived until recently moving into the Renaissance. Rose was a beautiful loving woman. Small of stature with a huge heart. She will be greatly missed. Prayers will be recited at 7:00 pm on Wednesday, October 5th, 2016 at the OLPH Church.

The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

A Funeral Service will take place at 11:00 am on Thursday, October 6, 2016 at OLPH Church. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to OLPH Church. Arrangements entrusted to Alternatives Funeral & Cremation Services 250-554-2324 Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of David Robin Lee Landstad. Born on February 19th, 1934 on a farm near Rama, Saskatchewan.

His granddaughters Nadia (Paul Davis), Alayna (Jesse Steele), Elizabeth and Lindsay and his greatgranddaughter Mariah. He will also be deeply missed by his dear friend, Barbara “Bunny” Chudyk. He was born to Andrew and Beatrice Landstad. They immigrated to Canada from Norway. Dad was fiercely proud of his Norwegian Heritage. David was the fourth oldest of five children. He had one sister Muriel and three brothers Alden “Bud”, Carroll “Colly” and Jerome “Jerry” and who have all passed away. He married Yvonne “Bonnie” Landstad on June 30th, 1958 (deceased from A.L.S.

heavy equipment such as draglines and cranes. He was also called on to fight forest fires. Gardening was a huge passion of Dave’s. His yard always looked like another room of the house. His favourite flowers were Rhododendrons and Clematis. Sports were Dave’s favourite, especially watching baseball and hockey. He played slow pitch and was the pitcher. His first team was the Balco Bushwhackers. He played slow pitch into his mid-70’s. He was an avid skier, both downhill and cross-country. He built many of the original ski runs at Tod Mountain (now Sun Peaks). Golf was also a passion of dads. Dave and Bonnie loved to travel. They saw many countries in the world before she passed away. A few years after Bonnie passed away, Dave met a lovely lady, Barbara “Bunny” Chudyk. They loved to travel to Yuma, Arizona for the winters. However, due to his diagnosis with Alzheimer/Dementia they had to stop travelling. Bunny took good care of Dave before he moved into a full care facility.

THE LITTLE UNICORN

by Peggy Kociscin,Albuquerque, New Mexico There lived a little unicorn (From when the earth was new), His coat so white it glistened, His eyes a sparkling blue.

To love meant to be happy, And yet it also brought him pain; For those he loved could hurt him Again.. and yet again.

In innocence and beauty, He danced through woods and streams. The animals danced with him, His heart aglow with dreams.

His mother held him lovingly And tried to ease his fears About the sadness life could bring... The lonely, bitter tears.

He laughed and played with rainbows, So happy all day through, He loved to kiss the flowers As their petals shone with dew.

She said, “Life is like a mountain, (And surely this is true) That we must climb as best we can. There’s no ‘around or ‘through.’” The unicorn tried tirelessly, And gave the climb his best; But he felt it was not good enough, He felt he’d failed the test.

He wandered through the meadows In the moon’s soft, silver light. He loved to gaze at all the stars That lightened up the night. He listened to the music Of the birds that graced the trees. He frolicked with the butterflies And raced the gentle breeze. But, as he grew and learned of life, The sparkle in his eye Grew misty as he realized Just what it means to cry. He learned that there are shadows In spite of shining sun. The more he grew, he found that life Was never always fun. For now he’d learn of feelings That come from deep within; No longer in the “dream world” Where (for so long) he’d been. His gentle heart desired But to know the pleasure of To give and to receive The very precious gift of love.

He could not understand it When he felt himself rejected – When all his gentle being asked Was but to be accepted. All this was just too much for him, He knew not what to do. That he was special as himself, Somehow, he never knew. His spirit crushed, he felt defeated, And lonely tears would start. Not understanding how to love, It simply broke his heart. But now he’s in a loving place Where all his pain has ceased, Where all accepted him and his love, Where all he knows is peace. A loving Being tells him, “You’re delightful as you are.” His spirit free, his brilliance now Outshines the brightest star!
