‘Hunch’ tosses drug bust CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A specially trained Mountie who stopped a rented truck on Highway 5 North and found $60,000 worth of cocaine was acting on “a hunch” rather than for legitimate reasons, a provincial court judge has ruled. As a result, the cocaine cannot be entered as evidence and the Crown was forced to drop a charge of possession for the purpose of trafficking against Zobair Afzali. Const. Eric Thompson pulled over Afzali’s rented truck in Barriere in November 2014, testifying he was suspicious because it was travelling slightly below the speed limit. A database search determined the truck was registered to a Vancouver firm and was linked to 24 recent police investigations. See JUDGE, A6

Poachers shoot, butcher pregnant cow RANCH OFFERS $25,000 REWARD FOR INFORMATION LEADING TO CONVICTION CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A $25,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of those responsible for shooting a pregnant cow, butchering the back legs and tenderloins and leaving the rest of the animal on the ground. The poaching took place on Saturday on the Fish Trap Corrals on Westsyde Road. Dorman Ranch manager Jason Bishop said cowboys found the carcass Saturday during a round-up on the range shared by four operations. Another wounded cow was found nearby, shot in A poacher shot and killed this pregnant cow at Fish Trap Corrals at Dorman Ranch before butchering its back legs and tenderloins. the face.

That position was posted in Kamloops. “We’ve been pushing hard [for a replacement] just for this reason,” Boon said. “We have assurances it will be filled again, hopefully very soon.” Another cow was found dead on the range shared by the four ranches on the first day of hunting season in September, a death Bishop believes was a hunter’s error. The ranch manager said the best chance of catching cattle rustlers and poachers is through tips from the public. The Kamloops RCMP is investigating and has collected evidence from the scene, including a box of garbage bags the poachers appear to have used to cart off parts of the cow. Anybody with information on the latest incident is asked to contact Kamloops Mounties at 250-8283000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Conservative MP Cathy McLeod had the highest office expenses of regional federal politicians in April, May and June, according to a report released this week. But McLeod’s travel bill was among the lowest among the seven ridings that border each other. Expenditure reports for Members of Parliament for the second quarter of the year show McLeod’s expenses at $88,000. That amount includes everything from postage to staff salaries, office lease and travel. The Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo riding borders six other constituencies, the MPs of which all checked in with lower expenses in the second quarter of 2016: • Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies MP Bob Zimmer (Conservative): $78,000 • Central Okanagan-Similkameen-Nicola MP Dan Albas (Conservative): $75,000 • Cariboo-Prince George MP Todd Doherty (Conservative): $74,000 • North Okanagan-Shuswap MP Mel Arnold (Conservative): $74,000

Cathy McLeod has chosen a Conservative leadership candidate to back Page A5 • Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon MP Jati Sidhu (Liberal): $70,500 • Kootenay-Columbia MP Wayne Stetski (NDP): $65,000. In an email to KTW, McLeod noted she has a large riding population (95,347 electors) and a large geographical area (38,320 square kilometres), with offices in Kamloops and 100 Mile House. Geographical area in neighbouring ridings range from the largest in Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies (243,276 square kilometres) to the smallest in Mission-MatsquiFraser Canyon (21,208 square kilometres). Riding population ranges from a high of 97,554 in Okanagan-Shuswap to a low of 63,744 in Mission-Matsqui-Fraser Canyon. “But the most significant issue this year was having to relocate my office and pay for tenant improvements in Kamloops,” McLeod added.

McLeod said in Prince George, for example, two MPs share an office and associated expenses — something not possible in the KamloopsThompson-Cariboo riding. On the travel side of the ledger, Doherty had the highest tab, at $48,000 ($14,000 for family), followed by Sidhu at $41,000 ($6,000 for family), Zimmer at $39,000 ($11,000 for family), Arnold at $32,000 (12,000 for family), McLeod at $28,000 ($6,000 for family), Stetski at $25,000 ($2,700 for family) and Albas at $22,000 ($4,000 for family). Travel costs include flights to and from Ottawa for the MPs and designated travellers, dependents and employees, along with accommodation, per diem and secondary-residence expenses for MPs. As for secondary-residence expenses, Sidhu claimed the most between April 1 and June 30 ($9,600), followed by McLeod ($7,800), Doherty ($6,800), Stetski ($5,500), Albas ($4,400), Zimmer ($2,300) and Arnold ($2,300). Under federal rules, McLeod has the thirdhighest allowable financial limit for annual expenses — at $427,000 — of all 338 MPs in Canada.

A Kamloops mother who has admitted to killing her newborn son will learn her fate next month. Courtney Fawn Saul pleaded guilty in August to one count of infanticide. She had originally been charged with seconddegree murder, but the charge

was downgraded earlier this year. Court has previously heard George Carlos Saul was killed within hours of his birth on Dec, 15, 2011. The elder Saul was 19 at the time of the offence. Lawyers met on Monday afternoon and set a sentencing

hearing for Nov. 30. Infanticide carries a maximum sentence of five years in jail. Second-degree murder, on the other hand, brings with it an automatic life sentence with a period of parole ineligibility of at least 10 years. Saul is not in custody.

An Ashcroft man who beat his uncle to death in the front yard of his home will receive a sentence of life imprisonment. The only issue left for Shane Gyoba is to wait for a B.C. Supreme Court judge to decide how long he will spend behind bars for second-degree murder before becoming eligible for parole. The minimum sentence is life in prison with no chance at parole for 10 years, with the maximum sentence 25 years in prison before being able to seek parole. In June, B.C. Supreme Court

Justice Dev Dley found that the Crown had proven Gyoba killed his uncle two years ago. Ed Gyoba was beaten to death in the front yard of his Ashcroft home on June 2, 2014. During Shane Gyoba’s trial, he made frequent outbursts and threatened the judge and lawyers. Because of that, and other troubling statements Gyoba made to police investigating the incident, Gyoba was sent for a psychiatric assessment to determine whether he might be found not criminally responsible by

way of a mental disorder. In court yesterday, Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said the psychiatric report does not support such a finding. “Mr. Gyoba will be sentenced,” Flanagan said. “He has already been found guilty of second-degree murder. In view of the report, the Crown will not be making any further arguments.” Gyoba is expected to return to court for sentencing on Nov. 28. He was arrested a short time after his uncle was killed and has been in custody since.

KamloopsThompson-Cariboo MP Cathy McLeod is joining nine other Conservative members backing leadership candidate Erin O’Toole. “Certainly I think there’s a lot of fine individuals running,” McLeod told Kamloops This Week. “Erin joined our caucus in 2012 and I’ve been incredibly impressed with a whole lot of things he’s done.” O’Toole’s experience includes as a captain and navigator in the Canadian

ship candidates from that province. Others who have officially registered to lead the party include MPs Michael Chong, Maxime Bernier, Deepak Obhrai, Kellie Leitch, Andrew Scheer and Brad Trost. Scheer has the backing of 20 members of the Conservative caucus. Interim leader Rona Ambrose is not eligible to run for the position. Former highprofile Conservative cabinet minister Tony Clement’s threemonth campaign for leader ended last week when he withdrew from the race.

known to be a drug courier route to Northern Alberta. “In summary, I find that when Const. Thompson stopped and detained Mr. Afzali, he did not have any legitimate road safety or Motor Vehicle Act concerns,” Cleaveley wrote in his judgement. “Mr. Afzali was stopped and detained by Const. Thompson on account of his hunch of criminal activity relating to the number of police files associated to the vehicle, none of which involved Mr. Afzali.” Stopping and detaining Afzali based on that hunch was a breach of his rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Cleaveley ruled.

DOG RESORT

UNION SAYS JUDGES, LAWYERS, ACCUSED AT RISK IN COURT TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A shortage of deputy sheriffs at the Kamloops Law Courts is placing judges, lawyers and accused criminals at risk, according to the spokesman for the union representing the officers. “As far as the numbers go, we know that four or five years ago, there were 18 to 20 sheriffs at the Kamloops courthouse on average,” Dean Purdy told KTW. “Now they’re down to 13.” Kamloops is in line to receive one new deputy sheriff out of a class of 23 recent graduates from the Justice Institute of B.C. Purdy said that’s not enough. “To bring in one new deputy sheriff, that’s not even keeping up with what they lost,” he

said. “It’s not going to do much to deal with a vastly growing recruitment and retention problem across the province. “A deputy sheriff makes $57,000 a year. They could go work in the mines or in other higher-paying law-enforcement positions and make more money. The government has to do something. They’re not keeping pace and they’re leaving at an alarming rate.” The number of sheriffs in Kamloops has resulted in officials bringing in temporary fillins from other B.C. courthouses. Purdy said that solution makes no sense. “They’re deputies that come from different areas,” he said. “They have to put them up in a hotel for the night, pay for meals and mileage. It’s a greater expense.”

Generally, every open courtroom has a sheriff In Kamloops provincial court last Thursday, a crowded video courtroom usually staffed by a sheriff was left unattended for much of the morning except for occasional drop-ins from deputies. “They know which judges are OK with that and they know which judges demand a sheriff in their courtroom,” Purdy said, noting the situation is creating a potentially unsafe environment for judges, lawyers and accused criminals. “Right now, quite frankly, from our standpoint they are at risk,” he said. “From our perspective, every courtroom should be staffed by a deputy sheriff. It’s just a matter of time before something happens.”

Court of Appeal tweaks sentence TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Calling the case “unique” and “exceptional,” a three-judge panel in B.C.’s highest court has essentially upheld an illegal sentence imposed by a Kamloops judge on a local drug dealer. Steven Lloyd Currie pleaded guilty to conspiring to traffic cocaine. In February, he was handed a two-year conditional sentence — house arrest —

followed by three years of probation, including 500 hours of community service. Currie had no prior record. He was arrested when police dismantled a Kamloops dial-a-dope ring, of which Currie was described as the manager. Currie was one of a handful of men who pleaded guilty to drug charges in relation to the operation. Currie managed the operation for more than six months before he was arrested in October 2012.

City of Kamloops

Richard Crawford, the man at the helm of the operation, was handed a five-year jail sentence. Jean-Claude Auger, its supplier, was sentenced to four years behind bars. When B.C. Supreme Court Justice Hope Hyslop sentenced Currie, she erred on two counts — conditional sentence orders must be less than two years in length and the maximum amount of community service hours a judge can dole out to someone on probation

is 240. The Crown appealed, while defence lawyer Jordan Watt described Hyslop’s errors as “slips.” The Court of Appeal judges found Hyslop’s sentence for Currie to be “demonstrably unfit,” but they crafted similar terms to replace it. Currie is now required to complete 480 hours of community service and his two-year conditional sentence was reduced to two years less a day to make it legal.

CONSERVATIVES AT CROSSROADS

t is the season for political battles. While three men challenge for the right to carry the B.C. Liberal flag in Kamloops-North Thompson in the 2017 election, the party that ruled Canada for almost a decade is in the midst of choosing its new leader. And, depending on which leader is chosen, voters may see an altered Conservative Party of Canada next year. When Stephen Harper’s Conservatives lost their grip on power in the October 2015 federal election, the erstwhile prime minister gave up the leadership and, later, his job as MP. Harper was the first leader of the party that was born from the ashes of the Progressive Conservative/Canadian Alliance (Reform) coalition, a party created directly by PC leader Peter MacKay reneging on a written promise to fellow leadership candidate David Orchard to not merge the Progressive Conservatives with the Canadian Alliance. The resulting Conservative Party of Canada left many Progressive Conservatives without a home, some of whom drifted to the Liberals and others who tried to resurrect the venerable brand. Now that Harper is gone, the party will enter its second generation — and Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Cathy McLeod has chosen her horse. She is backing Ontario MP Erin O’Toole, noting she was impressed with how he performed in the charge of the difficult Veterans’ Affairs portfolio. O’Toole is facing a number of contenders, with more candidates expected before next year’s Feb. 24 deadline. Will the Conservatives decide on a candidate that carries on the Harper style of leadership or will they look back and embrace the “Progressive” side of the party lost after MacKay lied to Orchard? The Conservatives did become the Progressive Conservatives in 1942 while adopting a number of policies normally promoted by centre and left of centre parties. Perhaps what’s old will be new again.

Petroleum panic premature

he village of Bella Bella on B.C.’s remote Central Coast has had more than its share of attention

in 2016. In January, Premier Christy Clark joined forest industry and environmental representatives in Bella Bella to sign the final preservation and resource management agreement for the Great Bear Rainforest, the faux-aboriginal name bestowed by U.S. protesters on this great expanse of temperate forest. In September, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, better known as William and Kate, flew into the Bella Bella airstrip in what I’m told was a wild and wet landing. Their Royal Highnesses announced the forest is included in the Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy, a network of forest-conservation programs including all 53 Commonwealth countries. Last week, a Texas-owned tugboat pushing a fuel barge south from Alaska ran aground near the village and the nowfamiliar panic and posturing over transport of petroleum products resumed. This comes as we await the decision of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet on the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline across B.C. to its Westridge terminal in Burnaby. This project is likely to be approved, increasing oiltanker traffic from Vancouver to the point where it almost matches the daily Alaska crude tankers sailing past Victoria.

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA Back to Bella Bella. The Nathan E. Stewart is not a crude tanker, but rather a tugboat and 10,000-tonne barge that transports refined fuel. The barge was empty when it ran aground on Oct. 13 and the tugboat sank in shallow water. The chorus of protest spread as quickly as the one-moleculethick diesel sheen from the tug’s fuel tanks. A leading voice was Jess Housty, a Bella Bella resident who proudly describes herself as a Heiltsuk tribal councillor and “foreign funded radical.” Along with Twitter updates about the barge incident, Housty promoted a strident eco-blog report that Heiltsuk leaders are now demanding the Trudeau government formally legislate a ban on oil tankers off the B.C. coast and extend it to fuel barges. I had the pleasure of visiting Bella Bella on a sunny day in September — or at least viewing it from the deck of the BC Ferries vessel Northern Adventure. Bella Bella is the only stop on

the Inside Passage sailing from Port Hardy to Prince Rupert. With about 1,400 residents, Bella Bella is one of B.C.’s largest aboriginal communities. It has no road access. Private hydro is wired in from the long-defunct Ocean Falls pulp and paper mill, backed up by diesel generators. Heiltsuk Chief Coun. Marilyn Slett was quoted as saying clam beds at Hartley Bay up the coast have still not recovered from fuel that escaped when the Queen of the North sank in March 2006. If that is true, and I would like to see evidence that it is, perhaps it has something to do with another spill foreign-funded radicals don’t mention. That’s when 15,000 litres of diesel was spilled into Hartley Bay on Dec. 29, 2007, during a transfer from a barge to a large on-shore storage tank that supplies the village’s only power source, diesel generators. That was a one-day story, barely a blip in the ongoing hand-wringing about fuel still trickling out from the sunken ferry years after it went down and two people died. Day-to-day fuel use is the main risk. If the Heiltsuk protesters get their way, the risk of future fuel spills around Hartley Bay and Bella Bella would soon be reduced substantially. That’s because both of these villages would soon be deserted.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

REMINDER TO AMERICANS — REGISTER TO VOTE Editor: Are we not all in the thrall of the coming election in the United States? Do I not hear on CBC Radio a reference to the debates, tapes, polls and possible effects on Canadian trade and culture — even politics? Do I not marvel at the gusto with which Canadian television stations and newspapers and radio stations have gotten sucked into the drama of it all? Do I not cringe when once again there is a tidbit from a tape with one of the two candidates for president speaking out, most often the man’s voice? Will the thousands of Americans living in Canada, (more than 100,000 in the Lower Mainland) actually stop listening, tweeting, texting and talking long enough to make sure they are registered to vote? Are they planning to soon mail their ballot? Will those ex-pats who have renounced citizenship because of onerous tax laws recently

“

I make it my priority to follow politics in both countries . . .

”

enacted for dual citizens begin to doubt their decision to not participate in their birthright privilege to vote? I am a dual citizen, born in the U.S. and also a citizen of Canada for the last two-dozen years. I make it my priority to follow politics in both countries and vote in both countries and volunteer when I can in order to help expedite the democratic process in both countries. In my younger days, I was part of the vanguard of new feminists in the Pacific Northwest who pushed for new legislation, more women in leadership positions, new courses in universities, new perspectives on gender in children’s books and new “clicks” in the minds of women and girls worldwide.

COUNCILLORS AGAINST AJAX SHOULD FOOT BILL Editor: Here’s an alternate suggestion for the city. How about asking councillors who have publicly announced they are against the Ajax Mine to fund this extra $200,000 needed? You know, to further their preponderance and quest within their desire to get to the bottom of this. After all, KGHM donated

within an act of mutual cooperation and again good community spirit, $300,000 the first time around. Anyone in our city willing to ask councillors publicly opposed to Ajax Mine to open up their pocket books and privately assist this very important review? Les Evens Kamloops

Suddenly we “got it” — that it doesn’t have to be this way. It can be better and we deserve it. That was more than 50 years ago. Yes, 50. And it’s finally happening. We can change culture. We can change the political scene. Canadians can be a part of that change. The federal and provincial governments and the ordinary Canadian resident can be a positive force for good change. Paying attention to politics in the U.S. is a good thing; paying too much attention of the wrong sort and being dragged irrationally into promoting backwardness and cruelty is not a good thing. In the words of my favourite Canadian radio show: Let’s be brave, stay calm and wait for the signs. And then celebrate together as part of the world-wide focus come Nov. 8. Joy Belle Conrad-Rice Kamloops

CHARGE THOSE RESPONSIBLE Editor: Re: KTW article of Oct. 7, (‘Teary RCMP commissioner apologizes, announces harassment suit settlement’): Allegations of bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault in the RCMP have been mentioned in and by the media for years. Those responsible for this shameful conduct could not keep their lips

together, could not keep up their pants, could not keep their hands in the open and could not keep their impulses under control. Now, there is a $100-million fund for payouts to victims. Of course, the victims are entitled to justice and compensation. But, why are taxpayers responsible for the payout? We taxpayers are not

guilty of the shameful conduct. Those who committed bullying, discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual assault and those who ignored the complaints or pushed the complaints under the carpet should be held financially responsible for their actions. Not the taxpayer. Ray Jones Kamloops

Million-dollar job from storm of 2014 Another cleanup project stemming from a major storm in 2014 will begin this week. The City of Kamloops is advising drivers to expect some delays on the Summit Connector starting Thursday and continuing into November as work begins on the area’s storm-drainage network. The project, which includes a new detention pond at the hairpin turn on Summit Drive

and a storm drainage-pipe network, will see traffic drop to one lane in each direction during construction from Oct. 26 to about Nov. 15. The contract for the project, worth $942,700, has been awarded to Dawson Construction. The full budget for the upgrades, which will reduce the amount of sediment funnelled into the river during storm events, is $1.3 million.

Real Food NOW ON THE GO.

Download our app for specials, discounts and our loyalty program. KTW FILE PHOTO A spate of ferocious summer storms in recent summers past have caused significant damage across the city.

A neighbour heard screaming and called 911. His then-girlfriend was left with injuries to her nose and ear, as well as several broken teeth. Willard pleaded guilty last December to charges stemming from that attack. He was given 75 days of house arrest and ordered to pay $6,600 in restitution to cover his ex’s dental bills. In that case, the sentencing judge called the assault a “particularly nasty” attack. Flanagan noted the timeline as a cause for concern. “It is, I am sure, extremely troubling to the court that two violent incidents occurred in such a short space of time,” Flanagan said. “It can only be described as shocking conduct over a brief period of time last spring.” Flanagan said Willard’s attack on his father would be enough to earn a jail sentence of more than a year. But, he added, Willard’s father asked the Crown to give his son a break. “If this had happened in a fight about nothing outside a drinking establishment, I would likely be seeking a jail sentence in the range of 18 months because that’s where you start for sentences for these types of offences,” Flanagan said. “Really, but for his father, that’s where we would be in terms of sentence.” Defence lawyer Don Campbell said the attack, which he described as “an eruption,” was fuelled by steroids and booze. “It does seem to be some sort of combination with the human growth hormone, anabolic steroids, all these things combined with alcohol,” he said, pitching a

90-day jail sentence to be served on weekends. For his part, Willard apologized. “I’m really sorry to my family, especially my father,” he said. “I had a good life before this, a good job, everything. This has really turned things around.” Kamloops provincial court Judge Stella Frame had harsh words for Willard, but stopped short of sending him to jail. “Make no mistake — this was a crime that warrants a prison sentence,” she said. “There is no question it would have been appropriate. The reason you are not going to jail is because of your success to this point with your conditions.” Willard has been on conditions since the attack on his girlfriend in April 2015. He has been wearing an ankle-monitoring bracelet since pleading guilty 10 months ago. Instead of jail, Frame placed Willard on an 18-month conditional sentence order, the first six months of which will be served under house arrest. Once his sentence is over, he will be on probation for another year. “Now that you know that you have this rage within you, it’s up to you to learn how to manage it,” Frame said. “As much as these steroids and other substances may have had some impact on your control over it, the rage is yours. It lives in you.” Willard played with the Chase Heat in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League in the 2011-2012 season, amassing 16 points and 28 penalty minutes in 36 games. He also played one game for the Chase Chiefs, the Heat’s predecessor, in the 2009-2010 KIJHL season.

ISAAC WILLARD’S VIOLENT OUTBURSTS BLAMED ON STEROIDS, BOOZE A former junior hockey player who was given a break by a judge last year after a vicious attack on his then-girlfriend has once again avoided jail — this time for a violent, steroid-induced attack that landed his father in hospital for more than a month. Isaac Willard pleaded guilty to two counts of assault causing bodily harm stemming from an incident at his father’s home near Chase on May 2, 2015. Court heard the 24-year-old flew into a rage after picking his dad up from a social event. Willard levelled an attack on his father that required reconstructive facial surgery and a five-week hospital stay to remedy. He also broke the nose of a female relative who attempted to intervene. Crown prosecutor Neil Flanagan said Willard’s father still has problems with one of his eyes as a result of the attack. “There is no doubt the injuries inflicted were very serious,” he said. The attack seemed to happen at random, Flanagan said. People who saw Willard in the hours leading up to the incident described him as being in “good spirits,” court was told. The apparent unprovoked assault bears a striking resemblance to an incident that took place just two weeks earlier. In that case, Willard and his then-girlfriend were walking home after watching a hockey game at a Chase pub when he snapped. Willard grabbed her by the hair, forced her to the ground and began punching her in the face and kicking her in the ribs.

TNRD taxes on rise for water, sewer ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Taxes for water usage and sewage service are rising in the ThompsonNicola Regional District. The TNRD board of directors endorsed a host of recommendations from its utilities systems committee at its Thursday meeting, which will combine to increase taxes for anyone receiving water from a TNRD water or sewer service. Parcel taxes charged in water and sewer service areas for “other indirect costs” will be increased to $15 per parcel per month per service, from the current rate of $10. Any taxes that exceed the actual costs incurred will be transferred into a utilities capital reserve fund. Utility user-fee rates for each service will also be increased “sufficient to fund expected direct cost increases over the five year period from 2017 to 2021.” The current cap on user fees will be indexed for inflation and increased to a $125 maximum from a $100 maximum. All changes will take effect on Jan. 1. “Part of the problem is, the last time the board really took an in-depth look at this, it was 2010,” TNRD director of finance Doug Rae said. At the time, the board elected to roll out increases over a number of years, so as not to shock taxpayers. But by the time the new fee structure was fully implemented five years later, the rates were sufficient to meet 2010 costs, not those of 2015. “We’re a little bit behind the 8-ball already because we kind of waited to see how it went,” Rae said. The new changes were brought forth in an effort to put the systems on a more financially sustainable track. Rae said that, while the utilities department works to control and reduce costs, inflation is real and services need to be cost effective — under the current system, 2015 saw a shortfall of $92,480 for utility administration, not including salaries. The hope is the new system, with

rates set for a five-year period, will provide predictability and certainty to customers. While all areas will see increases in parcel taxes, some should see slight decreases in user fees. “People undervalue water,” said director Ken Christian, who also sits on the utilities systems committee. He noted the increases are the reality of what it costs to provide clean water via the systems. Electoral Area P director Mel Rothenburger made an effort to postpone the increases, citing the need for more consultation with parcel holders, before levying an increase. He said he was not arguing against bringing the services to a sustainable place, but rather that residents should be consulted about what needs to be improved and the best way of doing so before increasing taxes. The motion to postpone was defeated, with only Rothenburger and Electoral Area E director Sally Watson voting in favour. “The director of finance indicated there is some urgency to putting these water systems on a sustainable track,” Christian said. “I would suggest that we should put this in place now as the ground floor of what these water systems need to be sustainable moving forward.” Kamloops Mayor Peter Milobar echoed Christian’s thoughts. “Asking the public if they think paying more for water is a good idea, I’m pretty confident what the answer will be,” he said. The board heard that the utilities systems committee considered all impacts of the increases and had a “spirited debate.” Rae later clarified the increases will need to be brought back to the board as bylaws later this year, prior to which public consultation in affected areas will occur. The TNRD operates 11 water services and two sewer services. Pritchard is the only area serviced by the TNRD for both water and sewer. The Paul Lake sewer service does not charge user fees.

Additionally, they may make written submissions on the matter of the above-noted Bylaws via any of the adjacent options.

McLeod: ‘My heart goes out to Jim’s family and friends’ Local MP among those remembering former Alberta premier, killed in a plane crash last week Local MP Cathy McLeod has added to the flood of memories colleagues have of Jim Prentice, the former Alberta premier and federal Conservative cabinet minister who died Thursday night in a plane crash near Kelowna. Prentice, 60, was with a group of four flying out of Kelowna in a Cessna Citation en route to Alberta following a golf trip. The plane went down shortly after takeoff and RCMP have described the wreckage as catastrophic and unsurvivable. Also killed in the crash were Ken Gellatly, Sheldon Reid and pilot Jim Kruk. The plane crashed only eight minutes after take-off, killing all on board, the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) said. The TSB said

JIM PRENTICE: Died near Kelowna Thursday night.

the Cessna disappeared from radar at 9:40 p.m. only 11 kilometres north of Kelowna Airport. “Initial examination suggests the aircraft was destroyed from high deceleration forces after a vertical descent,” said Beverley Harvey, the TSB investigator-incharge. “There were no emergency or distress calls made,” she said.

Social media sites were filled with thoughts of Prentice, who was described as an honest politician and a good family man. Among those struck by the news was Kamloops-ThompsonCariboo MP McLeod. “My heart goes out to Jim’s family and friends,” McLeod wrote after the crash, as she travelled to Kamloops. “During my early years as MP, I found him to be a good support, class act and caring politician.” McLeod added thoughts on her Facebook page: “Like many today, I am reeling with shock and sadness at the passing of our former colleague, Jim Prentice. “As we share our memories, the stories are unique and together form a picture of a husband, father, politician, businessman and

He has left us too soon, but with a legacy that few will ever achieve.” Prentice left federal politics in 2010 and took a job as the senior executive vice-president of CIBC. He later ran for the Alberta PC leadership. Former Kelowna Lake Country MP Ron Cannan, who worked closely with Prentice from 2006 to 2010, noted they shared a lot of downtime having to commute back and forth to Ottawa together. “He always had time for people and was very well respected from all political parties and staff and media,” said

At a dinner one night, he told me the story of Marie, an 18th-century black slave for 19 years at Louisbourg, N.S., who worked very hard to regain her freedom. She went on to marry a Mi’kaq and they opened a tavern in the former fortress. “From a slave to a successful businesswoman, he was truly impacted by her remarkable Canadian story and historical significance. “The following day, she was to be formally recognized in a special ceremony which he was scheduled to attend, but issues in his portfolio as environment minister were forcing a cancellation.

Cannan, adding he related to Prentice as a family man above all else and the two often discussed their daughters in those moments. “He was a gentleman.” One instance of Prentice’s character that stood out to Cannan was when the then-industry minister was visiting Kelowna for business and they’d taken time out to play a game of golf. One of Cannan’s constituents had an idea for a business he wanted to pitch and Cannan invited him along. “He rode around on the course with [Prentice] for awhile,” said Cannan, noting the conversation eventually led to a local business being launched successfully. He said Prentice also formed a good relationship with the

Westbank First Nation when he was cabinet as minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Premier Christy Clark offered some insight into Prentice’s character in the hours after the crash. “This is a terrible loss for our country. It’s a rare privilege to meet people of Jim’s character in any walk of life. He was a man of his word, would keep confidences, and his handshake was worth more than any written agreement,” Clark said. “Simply by being himself, Jim Prentice elevated political discourse in this country with his dignity, kindness, and focus. Jim devoted his life to making Canada better — and he succeeded.” — KTW, Kelowna Capital News and Canadian Press

Nestle plans frozen ONTARIO PUTS TWOYEAR HOLD ON PERMITS FOR NEW BOTTLED WATER OPERATIONS THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — Nestle will have to wait two years before it can even test a well it purchased in a fast-growing southern Ontario community which wanted the site for its drinking water supply. The Ontario government has posted a proposed regulation that would impose a moratorium on issuing water taking permits for new or expanded operations that take groundwater to bottle and sell. It would also stop issuing permits for pump tests that determine the quality and quantity of the well water available for bottling until the province completes a review of its regulations. That means Nestle cannot test the water at the Middlebrook well it purchased last summer in Wellington Centre, 100 kilometres west of Toronto, which the township tried to buy for its drinking water needs. The public has 45 days to comment on the proposed regulatory changes, which would also reduce the length of water-taking permits for bottling companies from 10 years to a maximum of five years. Ontario is not proposing any immediate increase in the $3.71 it charges for every million litres of water taken, but it is “examining a range of pricing mechanisms . . . to help protect and conserve water for future generations.’’ Nestle bought the Middlebrook well as a backup for wells it owns in nearby Erin and Aberfoyle, where it operates a bottling plant that employs over 300 people.

CMHC raises red flag about housing Spillover from Vancouver, Toronto cited ALEXANDRA POSADZKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — The head of the federal housing agency is raising a red flag about the state of Canada’s real estate sector, saying affordability concerns have spilled over from the country’s two most-expensive cities to nearby markets. In an opinion piece published yesterday in the Globe and Mail, CMHC CEO Evan Siddall said the agency will raise its overall risk rating for the national housing market to “strong’’ from “moderate’’ for the first time when it issues its housing market assessment on Oct. 26. “Affordability pressures hurt lower-income households the most and cause real socioeconomic consequences,’’ Siddall wrote. “CMHC has recently observed spillover effects from Vancouver and Toronto into nearby markets. These factors . . . will cause us to issue our first ‘red’ warning for the Canadian housing market as a whole.’’ Siddall said high levels of debt combined with rising house prices are often followed by contractions in the economy.

The conditions “we now observe

T IM E

in Canada concern us.

”

— EVAN SIDDALL, CMHC CEO

“The conditions we now observe in Canada concern us,’’ he wrote. Siddall’s comments came the same day new mortgage rules introduced by Ottawa took effect. The rules require a stress test for all insured mortgage applications to ensure borrowers can still repay their loans in the event interest rates rise or their personal financial situations change. Until now, stress tests were not required for fixed-rate mortgages longer than five years. The federal government is making the change to try to stabilize the country’s housing markets, particularly in Toronto and Vancouver where prices have soared. Siddall said he supports the measure, even though it will cut into the purchasing power of some first-time buyers.

Suspect in Jays beer can tossing case no longer works for Postmedia THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — A man who was charged after allegedly tossing a beer can towards a Baltimore outfielder during a high-intensity Blue Jays playoff game is no longer employed at the media company he worked for. Ken Pagan was charged with mischief earlier this month after surrendering at a police detachment in downtown Toronto. He is scheduled to appear in court on Nov. 24. The 41-year-old Hamilton man was an employee at Postmedia Network Inc. and an online profile listed him as a sports copy editor. But a Postmedia spokeswoman said yesterday Pagan had left the company.

TH I S I S

Georgia Sourtzis would not elaborate on the circumstances of Pagan’s departure, but the company had said earlier it was conducting an internal investigation following the beer-tossing incident. A can thrown from the stands at a Jays game on Oct. 4 narrowly missed Baltimore Orioles player Hyun Soo Kim as he made a catch. The toss triggered a social media frenzy as many analysed photographs and video footage from the game to figure out where the

can had come from. Toronto police released a photograph of a person they called an “unsportsmanlike fan’’ as they investigated the throw and Pagan confirmed to The Canadian Press he was the person in the picture distributed by authorities. Pagan also told the Toronto Sun he was “drinking out of a cup’’ during the game. Pagan’s lawyer has said his client is presumed innocent and is going to wait until court to have his say. The tallboy tossing incident resulted in the Jays announcing they would not be serving beer in cans at the Rogers Centre in Toronto for the rest of the post-season. The team has said beer will be poured into cups throughout the stadium instead.

Efforts to pump fuel from sunken tug on B.C. central coast due to begin THE CANADIAN PRESS

BELLA BELLA — Efforts to remove thousands of litres of diesel fuel from a sunken tug are expected to begin on British Columbia’s central coast near the Great Bear Rainforest. The process, called “hot tapping,’’ is aimed at removing more than 200,000 litres of diesel fuel still aboard the Nathan E. Stewart, which ran aground on Oct. 13 while pushing an empty fuel barge at the mouth of Seaforth

Channel, about 20 kilometres west of Bella Bella. An oil skimming vessel, is also expected to reach the scene as the tug sits under about nine metres of water and continues to seep fuel from its damaged starboard and central diesel tanks. Fuel is bubbling up from the tug, but a report issued from the scene said it is being contained by a boom, while the exact amount of diesel spilled remains unconfirmed. The report also said an oily sheen is escaping contain-

ment and Fisheries officials closed nearby shellfish harvesting on Friday. The Heiltsuk Nation issued a news release calling the situation an unfolding environmental disaster because it threatens clam beds vital to the community’s culture and economy. “We don’t know how many years or decades it will be before we are able to harvest in these waters again,’’ Chief Councillor Marilyn Slett said in the release. Federal, provincial and Heiltsuk Nation representa-

tives are working with Texasbased Kirby Corporation, the owners of the tug, to plug the leaking vessel, and expect to begin night operations in hopes of speeding up the process. This comes as long-range weather reports show an approaching storm with winds of up to 90 kilometres per hour, due late Wednesday. It’s hoped the tug can be lifted from the water by crane and barged out of the area once its fuel tanks have been pumped out.

PM nominates N.L. judge to Supreme Court THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has nominated Justice Malcolm Rowe of Newfoundland and Labrador for the Supreme Court of Canada. Rowe was first

named a trial judge in 1999 and has been a judge of the provincial court of appeal since 2001. The fact he is from Atlantic Canada is significant: The federal Liberals have been under opposition fire

for indicating their selection process would not necessarily follow the custom of regional representation. Rowe replaces Justice Thomas Cromwell, previously a Nova Scotia Court of Appeal justice, who

retired on Sept. 1. Rowe is bilingual, a qualification which the Liberal government said was mandatory for the appointment. His legal work in private practice and on the bench has included constitutional matters,

foreign relations, the arbitration of maritime boundaries and the negotiation of conventional law through the United Nations. MP and senators will have a chance to question the nominee on Oct. 25.

EU, Belgium seeking solution to trade LUXEMBOURG — Talks to convince a small Belgian region to back and save a wide-ranging trade deal between the 28-nation European Union and Canada could spill over into this week’s EU summit of leaders. Under the EU’s complicated approval system, the fate of the trans-Atlantic deal depends on all regions in Belgium approving the deal, leaving some local governments representing only a few million people with powers to scuttle a deal affecting over 500 million EU citizens and 35 million Canadians. Belgium’s national government, which strongly backs the deal, in consultation with EU officials, has been looking to overturn the resistance by Wallonia, population 3.5 million, and the executive office of the capital, Brussels, to save a deal that took seven years to negotiate and has backing from all the other EU nations. “I hope we will come through tomorrow,’’ Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said ahead of Tuesday’s meeting of EU foreign trade ministers, where the deal was supposed to be signed off on. The main discussion points at this week’s summit, which starts Thursday, are Britain’s exit from the EU and relations with Russia. On Oct. 27, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is set to fly to Brussels to sign the agreement, but only if it has unanimous backing from all the EU nations. The deal is expected to yield billions in added trade through tariff cuts and other measures to lower barriers to commerce. The EU says it will keep strong safeguards on social, environmental and labour legislation which have given Europe some of the toughest standards in the world. — The Canadian Press

Save-On impact not yet known ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

ANDREA KLASSEN/KTW Workers remove one of the final wooden support beams from the roof of the Westsyde pool building on Friday. With the roof removed, crews will demolish the concrete walls on three sides of the pool tank before beginning work on a new steel-beamed structure by November.

Roof removed as Westsyde pool project proceeds ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The roof is off and the walls are next. Demolition at the Westsyde pool building reached a milestone Friday as workers removed the final wooden support beams from the building’s ceiling, carting away the rotting wood that prompted the $3-million repair job now being done by D&T Developments Ltd. The pool was shut down in June 2015 With the roof removed, city capitalprojects supervisor Matt Kachel said crews will turn their attention to removing the concrete block walls on three sides of the pool tank. A new foundation for the pool is already poured just outside the existing walls.

Kachel said the city will have to rebuild the three outer walls and roof from the ground up to avoid running into building code issues. The existing foundation wasn’t considered good enough for the building’s potential snowload. The walls should be down by the end of the month, with new construction beginning shortly after. “We’re fairly in line with where we were expecting to be,” Kachel said. “Obviously, building this time of year comes with some challenges in terms of weather, so that’s going to be the thing that really gives us a pain is if it snows. “So far, we’re okay.” The city is on track to re-open the pool in February, he said. At least some of the material now

coming out of the site will find new use around the city. The concrete walls will be ground and used as backfill, while the support beams are headed to the Tournament Capital Ranch to be repurposed. While the back ends and tops of the beams display varying amounts of rot, due to an internal moisture leak in the pool’s vapour barrier, Kachel said much of the wood is still in good condition and could even be used for load bearing projects, following some trimming. The city’s parks department has not yet decided what it will do with the wood. Previous reclamation projects have included an amphitheatre in Kenna Cartwright Park, which was built out of trees removed from the Old Courthouse property downtown.

A Kamloops liquor store owner said it’s too early to determine if Save-On Foods’ move into the wine business will hurt sales. Al Deacon, owner of Fox’n Hounds liquor store, said the Thanksgiving weekend, and his store’s own annual wine promotion, have kept numbers steady. “October we have a big sale and it does drive some pretty decent traffic, so it’s difficult for us to gauge,” he said. “We have had people come in who’ve gone to Save-On, had a look around and then come to our store to purchase the wine they want other than the VQA. Next month and December might be a better gauge from us, but October we’re just getting so many people we don’t normally see.” Deacon, along with other private liquor-store owners and BC Liquor Stores unionized employees, opposed the grocery chain’s application to sell B.C. VQA wines in its Sahali location, arguing the store would have unfair advantages over liquor-only stores, including the ability to use wines as a loss-leader to encourage grocery purchases. On May 1, the provincial government introduced minimum pricing rules in stores selling alcohol. The lowest price per litre wine can be sold is $8.60, including tax and deposit. “When Save-On has 17,000 people a week that go through their doors, it’s traffic that we have never, ever seen in our store,” Deacon said. “And just the power of suggestion — they walk in and see a nice, big wine display and if they grab one from them, they’re not going to be grabbing it from another retailer in town. “We’re just going to have to be keeping our pencils sharp and make sure we’re at the top of our game.” For Save-On, it was a successful first week in Kamloops. “We were absolutely thrilled with the customer response to our selection of wine,” said Steve Moriarty, director of wine sales. He declined to say what kind of numbers the store has seen in its first week, but noted local wine sales have been the strongest so far. “Of the stores we’ve opened, this was unique because in Kamloops, you only have three wineries. In the Okanagan, you’ve got 90 wineries in spitting distance,” he said. The store plans to continue selling local wines for the next few weeks before featuring other wineries from around the province.

Invest Well. Live Well. Real Estate versus the Stock Market Our family recently came across the original purchase agreement and trust indenture (mortgage) of our Grandparents' house in Vancouver, back in 1951. They purchased their home on West 36th Avenue and Dunbar Street in October 1951 for $10,500. Our grandparents lived there happily for many years raising their three sons, hosting countless holiday dinners and building a legacy of memories. As our grandparents grew older and their health began to fail, they sold in 1996. What is that property worth today? The 2016 BC Assessment was an incredible $3,022,000. Keep in mind the market value could be higher. So what does that return on investment look like? Well from 1951 to 2016, or 65 years, we have calculated the annualized rate of return to be approximately 9.2%. This does not factor in home ownership costs such mortgage, insurance, upkeep and property tax.

According to Morningstar®, the S&P/TSX Composite Index (S&P/TSX) average return during the same period was 10.2%, meaning the S&P/TSX has outpaced the second most expensive property market in the world. For comparison, and for illustrative purposes only: $10,500 invested in the Canadian markets during the same time would be worth an estimated $5,794,194 today (not including taxes or investment fees)! Last year, Russell Investments conducted research from 1977-2015 with the following annualized returns: Vancouver detached home:

8.2%

S&P 500 Index:

12.2%

S&/TSX Composite Index:

10.4%

We often hear "You can't lose with real estate." or "Real estate is a better investment than the stock market." We like to remind all investors that: 1) We believe owning a home is financially prudent. 2) Historically the Canadian and U.S. Stock markets have outperformed real estate. 3) During certain periods, there can be over or under performance from any of these three assets. Because a home is often ones' largest portion of their net worth, we encourage investors to diversify.

Until next time… Invest Well. Live Well.

Tourism Kamloops looks to redefine branding ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After 11 years, playtime is over. Tourism Kamloops is already at work on a rebranding effort to update and replace the “playtime, redefined” tagline it has used for more than a decade to entice visitors to the city. The rebranding effort is one of the top priorities in the organization’s new strategic plan, adopted by its board of directors earlier this month. Monica Dickinson, director of industry relations and communications, said staff looked at whether the long-held tagline still set Kamloops apart from competing destinations and felt it was time for a fresh look. “We’re really trying to identify the attributes of Kamloops,” she said. Tourism Kamloops is also turning an eye to the city’s attractions and offerings, looking to promote those that aren’t replicated in other cities — and to involve other organizations that can improve or expand those attractions. “We know that a lot of destinations have hiking or they have museums, but when you say Kamloops to someone, what actually pops into their mind?” Dickinson said. “For example, some of the stuff we’ve already begun to work on is mountain bike program development with the riders’ associations

and the City of Kamloops.” Dickinson said the mountain biking partnership will see the groups come together to look at new trail development options, improve signage, and make sure the existing trails are mapped and promoted to tourists. The organization used a similar approach this past summer, teaming up with the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association, Kamloops Chamber of Commerce and Rocky Mountaineer for an Alive After Five promotion, which saw some downtown businesses expand their hours at the end of summer. Other plans include developing more free wireless internet hotspots in the city and improving shoulderseason experiences in the city and region. In September, Kamloops hotel owners voted in favour of increasing the accommodation tax to three per cent from two per cent, a change approved by Kamloops city council earlier this month. Dickinson said the additional funds will be directed at spring, fall and winter tourism campaigns to bring in visitors outside of the city’s peak July and August season.

“These are people’s homes and tenant comfort is a top priority for our company.” Bill Henderson, partner, Carlisle Management Inc.

Are you sure you are really listening?

sking your prospect all the correct questions is wasted if you don’t hear what he or she says, either in words or, more subtly, in tones or partial hints. Being a good listener requires more than just keeping quiet while the other person is talking. Do you hear everything that is being said? Do you understand it completely? Here are some tips on how to become a more effective listener: • Focus in on the basic message. Try to pinpoint the main ideas the person is expressing. Ask yourself what the speaker is trying to say. If you’re not sure, ask. “Bill, I believe what I heard is _____. Am I on track?” • Understand what is being said. Keep asking yourself if you understand what is being said. If you don’t, ask for clarification — and keep asking until you are sure you fully understand. “Bill, I’m not sure I

JOHN GLENNON

Imropoving

YOU

understand how this relates to that. Can you help me out?” What you don’t understand, you can’t recall. Additionally, if you don’t understand what is being said, your mind is more likely to wander and your listening effectiveness diminishes. • Don’t get distracted. Don’t let trivial things like the speaker’s appearance or random noises divert your attention from what he or she is saying. Listen to the speaker’s whole sentence. Listen not only for content, but context. Any time you catch yourself being distracted by something that

draws your attention away from the speaker’s words, make a conscious effort to focus back on the words. • Listen with your gut. The speaker’s tone and body language will impart meaning. These subtle clues are quickly picked up by the unconscious mind and leave us with a particular feeling about the speaker. When you are left with a “feeling” about someone after a conversation — that they are sincere, that they are hiding something, that they can’t be trusted, etc. — it is a sign your unconscious mind has put two and two together and come up with an evaluation. • Become personally absorbed in what is being said. You can’t listen effectively if you are only going through the motions. Every subject has some interesting angle, some impact on you or something you can learn. In order to uncover those elements, you must first abandon your prejudiced or pre-

conceived ideas. If you enter into a conversation with the notion the other person has nothing of interest or importance to say, you will miss what is important. • Get involved. Keep your attention on what is being said and offer comments. If the situation permits, offer your own perspective on what is being said. Ask a question or relate a relevant story that reinforces what the person is saying or represents a different point of view. Ask yourself how what the person is saying relates to other situations or experiences. In summary, listen proactively. There is more to listening than just passively hearing the words someone is speaking.

Negotiations for a new deal to regulate Canadian lumber exports to the U.S. are continuing as the protection of the latest softwood lumber agreement expired last week. As of last Thursday, the U.S. industry is free to launch new unfair trade actions against Canada, although new tariffs can’t be imposed until six months after a formal complaint is filed. With most U.S. lumber exports coming from B.C., the temporary period of free trade may be the calm before the storm for the B.C. industry. The Canadian and U.S. governments issued a joint statement, promising to continue talks towards a “durable and equitable solution for North American softwood lumber producers, downstream industries

and consumers.” That solution may have to wait until after the U.S. election in November, with a campaign marked by anti-trade rhetoric from Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton. Whatever the solution, it will not be free trade in lumber. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and U.S. President Barack Obama agreed in June that a new agreement would be “designed to maintain Canadian exports at or below an agreedupon U.S. market share to be negotiated.”

The U.S. industry has long maintained that B.C. lumber is subsidized by an artificially low price paid for Crown land timber. Premier Christy Clark and other provincial leaders wrote to Trudeau in July, asking him to refute “unfair and inaccurate allegations of Canadian lumber subsidies” made by 25 U.S. Senators. Susan Yurkovich, president of the B.C. Lumber Trade Council, said the industry has been working for months to avoid “another lengthy trade dispute that creates uncertainty, hurts consumers and producers, and impedes the growth of the North American market.” B.C. Forests Minister Steve Thomson is heading a forest industry trade mission to Japan and China in late November, part of Canada and B.C.’s effort to diversify lumber trade beyond the U.S. market.

Ken Huber’s longawaited third professional bout is finally on the books. The Kamloops fighter known as Heavy Hands will head to Manitoba later this month, slated to fight boxer Devin Tomko in his hometown of Winnipeg on Oct. 28. The fight will be the third this year for Huber, who transitioned to the professional ranks in the spring. He’s 2-0 with two knockouts in the pros, while Tomko is 1-0 after debuting in North Dakota on Aug. 14, 2015. “He’s the hometown boy,” Huber told KTW. “This is my third fight out of the blue corner, kind of seems to be where I always fight out of. That’s the way it rolls.” Huber is coming off a long summer layoff, his last fight a third-round knockout victory against Ladner’s “Dyna” Mike Dowsett in Nanaimo. The Kamloops fighter had been scheduled to fight in June in Saskatchewan, but a bout never materialized. Now, under new management and with a fight on the horizon, Huber is back to the grind. He plans to stand in for three contests before the bell rings to end 2016. “It was actually a lit-

tle longer than I wanted to take off — I was hoping to just keep the train going,” he said. “But you’ve got to pick your battles, so to speak, at this point. There’s lots of opportunities out there, but opportunities that put me at a high risk — fight a guy that’s 8-0 or 10-0 at cruiserweight, who’s 6-foot-7 and 210 pounds. That’s not a good fight just to get a fight. “We’re working on trying to be smarter than bolder and pick the right fights. Get the guys that are good, but not going to put me in too much danger until I can settle into my shoes as a professional.” Huber said he doesn’t know much

about Tomko. But having turned 33 on the weekend, Heavy Hands is well aware he has nearly 10 years on his 24 year old opposition. “All of a sudden, the tables have turned. I’m kind of the older guy, the senior,” Huber said with a laugh. “Most of my career, I was just this young up and comer, just full of piss and vinegar, go and get at ‘er, and now I’m kind of the older guy. It’s kind of funny to look at. Wow, that changed quick.” As would be expected, he being the older fighter, Huber enters the bout with far more experience. He’s the owner of a 27-7 record as an amateur, a career that included a number

of title reigns, both provincially and nationally. Tomko, meanwhile, had 10 amateur fights before turning pro. The pair will fight at a catchweight of 190 pounds. Huber said he’s feeling confident and is pleased to have another fight date looming. He’s staying focused on himself and his training, letting his coach do the advanced scouting on Tomko. “My physical conditioning is better than it has ever been and I’m able to focus just on skills and technique,” Huber said. “I can feel the improvements every day. I think it’s just as much a mental thing as it is a physical thing.”

Kamloops Blazers’ goaltender Connor Ingram, 19, is aiming to crack Team Canada’s roster for the World Junior Hockey Championship in Toronto and Montreal this winter.

Ingram eyeing Canada’s crease MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Connor Ingram is all over Hockey Canada’s radar, homing in on the World Junior Hockey Championship. Fred Brathwaite, the national organization’s goaltending consultant, was at Sandman Centre last Wednesday to watch Ingram turn aside 29 shots in a 6-1 victory over the Spokane Chiefs. “We really like him for Team Canada,” said Brathwaite, who will be on the road studying goalies across the country for most of October, expecting to spend only five days at home in Ottawa. “Watching him here, it seems like he gives his team a chance to win every night and that’s something we’re looking for, hopefully, for Christmastime.” The world juniors will run from Dec. 26 to Jan. 5 in Toronto and Montreal, with the selection camp beginning about two weeks before the tournament starts. Among Ingram’s competition are Carter Hart of the Everett Silvertips, Zach Sawchenko of the Moose Jaw Warriors, Stuart Skinner of the

Hockey Canada goaltending consultant Fred Brathwaite had good things to say about Kamloops Blazers’ backstop Connor Ingram.

Lethbridge Hurricanes, Evan Cormier of the Saginaw Spirit and Callum Booth of the Quebec Remparts. “We’re not judging guys by one or two nights and that’s why I try to see them as much as possible,” said Brathwaite, a 43-yearold retired netminder who played in parts of eight NHL seasons with four teams. “It’s nice to see them live and see them do well, but everyone has an off night and a good thing is to see how they bounce back the next night. With those tournaments, it’s always short-term. We might lose a game and we need someone to be able to play the next night.” Brathwaite was in

Kennewick, Wash., on Friday when the Blazers fell 4-2 to the Tri-City Americans. Ingram allowed three goals on 36 shots. Among Ingram’s greatest assets is composure, said Brathwaite: “He looks like he’s never really that frustrated. He’s a guy who can always make the big save at the right time and that’s something we want to see.” KTW asked Ingram, 19, if he was aware Brathwaite was watching last Wednesday. “I have no idea when those guys are in the building,” said Ingram, who was selected 88th overall by the Tampa Bay Lightning at the NHL Draft in June. “I can just do what I can and they’ll do what they do.” Brathwaite saw Ingram play for Tampa Bay in an NHL rookie tournament in Florida last month and expects to see him at the CIBC Canada-Russia Series next month. Ingram set a Blazers’ franchise record in 2015-2016 with a .922 save percentage, displacing Corey Hirsch, who was atop the list with a .920 mark in 1991-1992. Ingram played 13 more games and stopped 409 more

shots than Hirsch. Not known to play his best hockey early in the campaign, Ingram has a .925 save percentage and a 2.40 goals against average after eight games with the Blazers this season. Ingram was at Hockey Canada’s Program of Excellence Goaltending Camp in Calgary in June, attended Canada’s National Junior Team SportChek Summer Development Camp from July 30 to Aug. 2 and represented the nation in a fourgame series against the U.S., Sweden and Finland from Aug. 3 to Aug. 6 in Plymouth, Mich. “It was a busy summer,” said Ingram, an Imperial, Sask., product. “I didn’t think it was going to be, but hockey never seemed to stop. I take pride in how hard I worked.” If Ingram cracks Team Canada for the world juniors, he will be out of the Blazers’ lineup for 12 or 13 games in December and January. “It’s always in the back of your mind, but it’s a long year and a long time until that selection camp,” Ingram said.

It took overtime to decided the latest instalment of Friday Night Lights football in Kamloops. The Valleyview Vikings edged the host Westsyde Blue Wave 13-12 in front of about 2,000 fans in BC Secondary Schools Football Association AA Varsity Okanagan Conference play. Westsyde scored first in OT, but was assessed a 15-yard penalty for excessive celebration and was unable to make good on the conversion kick. Valleyview took possession and quarterback Hunter Koopmans called his own number on fourth and goal, plunging in from two yards out to tie the game at 12-12. Vikings’ kicker Scott Poelzer booted the game-winning conversion. Valleyview was 0-for-7 on conversion kicks this season until Poelzer connected. “It was a strong team defensive effort with no single standout, although Justin Hues did recover a fumble for the only turnover,” Valleyview head coach Giuseppe Liberatore told KTW. Grade 12 standout Parker Matheson scored two touchdowns for the Blue Wave. “Our players came out focused and, for a change, our defence stepped up and carried the load,” Blue Wave coach Cory Bymoen said. “Full credit to them for their resiliency. They kept with their game plan and, in the end, it propelled them to victory.” The Blue Wave (0-2) scored in the first quarter and Vikings’ running back Evan Guizzo had a touchdown to tie the game at 6-6. “We were able to hold them without a score for three-anda-half quarters, but they seemed to wear us down in the end,” Bymoen said. “Obviously our players were disappointed, so we will try and take the positives from the game and go from there.” Valleyview (1-1) is next in action against

United, Liverpool fail to score in Monday match STEVE DOUGLAS

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LIVERPOOL, England — Manchester United blunted Liverpool’s prolific attack as England’s two most illustrious teams toughed out a 0-0 draw in the Premier League yesterday.

United manager Jose Mourinho’s tactics of containment worked well at Anfield, with Liverpool failing to score in a home league game for the first time in exactly 10 months. United was the opponent then, too, but under Louis van Gaal. When Liverpool’s

players did break free of United’s fierce pressing, they found David de Gea in fine form, with the Spain goalkeeper producing excellent saves to deny Emre Can and Philippe Coutinho in the second half. Liverpool started the league’s eighth round of games with the jointmost goals of any team and had scored nine

times in its two home matches so far. The hosts improved in the second half, especially after fitagain midfielder Adam Lallana came on as a substitute, but were never going to get the three-goal victory that would have put them top. United stayed in seventh place, five points behind table-

toppers Manchester City and Arsenal. Liverpool, with 17 points, is in fourth place, two points back of the leaders.

Gretzky says McDavid best 19-year-old he has ever seen JONAS SIEGEL

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — When watching Connor McDavid play for the Edmonton Oilers, Wayne Gretzky gets the urge to again don his No. 99. “I could get 60 goals playing with that guy,’’ the Great One said. “I’m truly amazed at how good he is.’’ Admiration runs deeps from the NHL’s all-time leading scorer when it comes to McDavid. Gretzky believes his fellow prodigy has all the tools for a truly special career, mentioning McDavid’s name in the same breath as Mario Lemieux, Gordie Howe, Guy LaFleur, and, of course, Sidney Crosby, who he said remains the best in the game today. “But I don’t think there’s any question that Connor’s the best 19-year-old hockey player I’ve ever seen and I saw [Mark] Messier, I saw Lemieux, I saw Lafleur,’’ Gretzky said in an interview to promote his new book, 99: Stories of the Game. “This kid is special.’’ Now, Gretzky continued, it’s up to McDavid, who was recently named Oilers captain, to live up to the potential. Gretzky, a former Oilers’ captain himself, noted how Crosby delivered on the hype by winning not only individual awards, but Stanley Cups for the Pittsburgh Penguins. “The Lemieuxs, the LaFleurs and the [Mike] Bossys, those guys did it, they accomplished it, they became Hall of Famers,’’ Gretzky said.

“Is McDavid on the right track? Absolutely. And has he got an opportunity to do some real special things? One hundred per cent. Has he got his head screwed on properly? One hundred per cent. He’s in the right organization [and] the city will take care of him. It’s a wonderful city for him to play in. Tremendous ownership. Great coaching. “Now, it’s going to take time. He’s still only 19,’’ Gretzky continued. “But he has everything in place to become the best player in the National Hockey League and go on to win some championships for the Edmonton Oilers.’’ McDavid became the first Oiler since Gretzky in 1987 to record at least six points in the opening two games of a season, totalling three goals and three assists in a pair of wins over the Calgary Flames last week. He had 48 points in 45 games as a rookie last season. Gretzky said if he could steal one thing for his own game from McDavid it would be his speed. The Newmarket, Ont., native has “one extra gear that I don’t think I’ve ever seen on a hockey player’’. And though Paul Coffey, his former Oilers teammate and fellow Hall of Famer, is still the purest skater Gretzky has ever seen, McDavid is even on a “different level’’. Gretzky believes McDavid’s greatness and best-in-the-game status will ultimately come from

Stanley Cups. Edmonton last won the NHL’s biggest prize in 1990, two years after Gretzky was traded to Los Angeles. What separates great players from the truly elite, he said, is championships. All the legends, from Messier to Howe and Bobby Orr, have won the Cup at least once and in some cases, several times. The foundation in Edmonton is there for McDavid to one day join them, Gretzky said. Though he acknowledged the difficulty in evaluating individuals on team success, Gretzky said it was fair when it comes to the all-timers, a class he sees McDavid eventually joining. Does he think Cup victories should determine Hall of Fame

Stadium on way in Vegas LAS VEGAS — Nevada’s governor signed a bill yesterday clearing the way for a Las Vegas stadium that could be home to the Raiders, although NFL owners still need to approve the team’s move to Oakland before Sin City becomes a football town. Republican Gov. Brian Sandoval and Raiders owner Mark Davis joined hardhat-wearing construction workers and mask-wearing Raiders fans for the ceremony at UNLV, whose football team would also use the 65,000-seat domed stadium. Cheerleaders shook pompoms and a marching band launched into Viva Las Vegas after Sandoval inked the deal. “Las Vegas is ready for this. Nevada is ready for this,’’ Sandoval said in an interview afterward. “The best brand on the planet is coming together with one of the best brands in professional sports.” Nevada lawmakers narrowly approved a deal in a special session last week that increases hotel taxes in the Las Vegas area to raise $750 million for

a stadium and more than $400 million to expand and upgrade the Las Vegas Convention Center. In raw dollars, it’s the largest public contribution ever toward an NFL stadium, although the public’s share of the total costs — 39 per cent — is on par with stadiums in other similarly sized cities. Billionaire casino mogul Sheldon Adelson is putting $650 million toward the project, while the Raiders and the NFL will kick in $500 million. Any relocation needs approval from three-fourths of NFL team owners — a historically conservative bunch that has shied away from Las Vegas because of its legal sports betting. Davis said he’s not going to speculate on whether enough owners will jump on board. Davis denied speculation that supporting the Las Vegas plan was a way to force Oakland, which is also trying to keep the team, to build it a stadium. — The Associated Press

status? No. Nor, he said, is one player responsible for delivering the game’s top prize. “But what I’m saying is if you want to get that elite status where they say you’re Bobby Orr or you’re Jean Beliveau to me you’ve got to win a Stanley Cup,’’ Gretzky said. “Winning a Stanley Cup is important and you should never lose sight of that fact. And with winning that Stanley Cup he’s going to win Art Rosses [for leading the league in scoring] and he’s going to win the Hart Trophy [for league MVP]. “All that stuff will come with it because he’s in a good organization with good coaching. He’s got a management team that understands who he is and they’re

going to be a good team for a long time. “Now, you’ve got to go to that next level. But listen, it’s not going to happen overnight, it’s hard to win, it’s going to take time.’’ Gretzky envisions McDavid following the same path Crosby set a decade ago, which included a Hart Trophy as an NHL sophomore and Stanley Cup champion two years after that. “Now, he’s going to cross all those bridges that Sidney had to, whether it be playing for a Stanley Cup, whether it be captain of the Olympic team, all those things are going to come his way. “But he’s ready for it,’’ Gretzky said.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Llewellyn Elliott Cumming

May 12, 1927 to June 22, 2016

Clifford Charles Gunderson

Born in Reserve, Montana on September 15th, 1918 and passed away October 10th, 2016 in Kamloops, BC. Dad’s parents Gus and Ida, decided to move the family to the Beachy, Sask. area in 1921 to homestead on the prairies. His father, Gus was a carpenter, building many homes and also some grain elevators in the area. When he was old enough, Dad was helping on the farm as well as some of the building, including the school where he received his education! The Great Depression forced a move for the family to Aldergrove, BC in 1936. Life was hard, but there was work to be had in the building trade, so Dad worked in construction for a while around the Lower Mainland of BC. He also found work in logging and sawmills.

Llew is survived by his daughters Bonnie (Jim), Penny (Al) his son Paul (Nancy), four grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and brother Robert. Llew was predeceased by his wife Fay, grandson John and two brothers Gerry and Terry. Dad is now free to explore a new venue for his poetry and metal detecting.

Logging on Vancouver Island was his next adventure. He started out hand falling the big trees, but soon moved on to power saws! He met Olaf Fedje while working in the woods and they decided that they would start a business to supply fallers and chainsaws to the various companies on Vancouver Island. After a few years of building a very successful business (Fedje and Gunderson) together, Dad was tiring of the pressure of his part of the business which was the mechanical side, so he decided to sell out to Olaf and go farming. He had a new family so after scouting many areas in the BC Interior, they moved to Vinsulla in September of 1953. He had married Hazel Urvold in 1949, and they were blessed with three children Brian (1950), Sandra (1951) and Norman (1953). Dad’s knowledge of construction was willingly given to many neighbours for the building of houses, outbuildings, etc. Also his mechanical ability and skills were much appreciated by many. Both sons soon learned that if you wanted something, you could make it yourself. Meanwhile, Sandra was developing her love of horses. Most years Dad would organize a hunting trip with his

father and some of his brothers to many areas of BC. In later years, it was with neighbours that would accompany him for the annual hunt. Brian also went along, as did Thomas, Brian’s son. Many happy times were spent out in the wilderness in his “Hunting Cabin” that he built to go on the back of the old 1948 Mercury truck and later on the 1966 baby blue Ford 1 ton. He later built a pop-up camper that he and Hazel traveled to many areas in, including Yukon, as far East as the Great Lakes and South to Texas. Fishing was also a source of relaxation for him either with family or an eager neighbour. In his retirement years he enjoyed working in his shop, building many fine pieces of furniture as well as a cedar strip canoe that was almost too beautiful to use! He also spent many hours cutting down the pine trees that were killed by the pine beetle infestation, and burning the huge piles of branches he had made. He was still running his chainsaw up to the age of 92! The loss of his beloved wife Hazel in July 2014 was a blow that he never overcame. With a broken heart, he spent the last 2 years of his life first in RIH, and then at Pine Grove Care Center where he received excellent care. Clifford is survived by his three children Brian (Sidsel), Sandra (Jim Moran) and Norman (Elna Borgenesset) as well as four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is also survived by one brother Roger (Judy) in Fanny Bay and his only sister Lorna Martin in Surrey. A Celebration of Clifford’s Life will be held October 30th at 1:00 PM in the Heffley Creek Community Hall. Anyone wishing to say a few words is welcome to do so, as the family would very much appreciate your thoughts.

First Memorial Funeral Service James Cyril Sloan

March 8, 1948 – October 11, 2016 With deep sorrow and sadness, the family of Jim Sloan announces his sudden passing. He is survived by his loving partner Debbie Nesbitt, his eldest son Scott Sloan, son Craig Sloan and daughter Carla Schneider (Les), brothers Randy (Mary) and David; nieces Lisa Marie (Stephan), Tanya, Chelsea, Jennifer (Andy). Jim was predeceased by his parents Cyril and Eleanor Sloan, sister Marlene and nephew Will. Jim was a dedicated employee of Trans Mountain for 33 years. He was an avid outdoorsman who loved nothing more than hunting, fishing, playing baseball or maintaining his perfect lawn and garden. He will be greatly missed and thought of often.

They were married in May 1958. The family then moved and settled in Kamloops. Guy worked for School District #73 for 21 years until he retired in 1997. Guy and Joyce enjoyed many winters travelling to Arizona, where they met many friends along the way. Guy was an avid golfer and dedicated Habs fan for life! Guy is survived by his beloved wife Joyce, son and favourite golf partner John (Dona), daughter Cathy (Ann), sister Claudette in Florida, grandchildren Ashlyn (Travis), Mallory (Taron), Lane, Zach and Becky and four beautiful great-grandchildren. A Celebration of Life for Guy will be held on October 23, 2016 from 1pm - 3pm in the River’s Room at Sandman Center.

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that’s best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes: Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven trees, Or softly lightens o’er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling place. And on the cheek, and o’er that brow, So soft, so calm, so eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow; But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind of peace with all below, A heart whose love is innocent!

Preserve the memories of your loved one not only for now but for future generations with your pictures. We will make a video that can be used at your service, if you choose, and also put it on our website where it can be viewed from anywhere in the world.

A Celebration of Life will be held Thursday, October 20, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. in the Kamloops Funeral Home, Tea Room, 285 Fortune Dr.

Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

She Walks in Beauty

Many thanks to all the Angels on the 8th floor of RIH and all the wonderful staff at Hospice who cared for Guy in his final days. A Bientot mon amour GO HABS GO

Footprints 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. 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. 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.” 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.”

Obituaries & In Memoriam Helen Louise Leavitt

October 2, 1919 – October 9, 2016 It is with great sadness we announce the peaceful passing of Helen Leavitt at the age of 97. Helen was born October 2, 1919 in Quimper, Saskatchewan. She moved to BC with her family at a very young age and they settled in Roe Lake. She married Frederick “Ted” Leavitt on October 6, 1939 at the historic Clinton Lodge on October 6, 1939. She moved to Williams Lake in 1949 with her husband and three young children. Her youngest son was born there in 1950. In the late 60’s Helen and Ted moved north to Fort St. John and then to Good Hope Lake where Ted continued with the Department of Highways. After Ted’s passing in 1977, Helen moved to Kamloops where she has resided since. Helen is survived by son Earl (Jean) of Kelowna and daughter Eleanor Worthington (Harvey) of Kamloops, seven grandchildren, several great-grandchildren and her sister Nina Haines of Williams Lake. She was predeceased by parents Forrest and Cora Bell, her husband Ted, daughter Merle Becker, infant son Keith and her sisters Bernice Litke and Pat Reed. We would like to thank the staff of Ponderosa Lodge for their wonderful care these last few months. There will be no service by request. Donations can be made to the charity of one’s choice.

Margaret Iglesias

October 5, 1924 – October 12, 2016 Margaret Iglesias (nee Carswell) passed away on October 12, 2016. Margaret was born in Sturgeon Falls, Ontario on October 5, 1924. Her early years were spent in Noranda, Quebec and that is where she met her husband John. He was a mining engineer, a job that allowed them to live from Newfoundland to British Columbia before settling in Quebec and Ontario. Margaret is survived by her three children: Stuart (Wendy) from Shearwater, BC, Sandra from Kamloops and James (Liz) from Toronto, Ontario as well as her niece Diane (Saskatoon). Her seven grandchildren and six great-grandchildren played an important part in her life. She is predeceased by her husband John and her sister Marion (Harold) Simpson. “With all of our love we remember our mother Margaret who lived life well and set an example for integrity and caring for all of us to follow in our own lives. Mom and Dad can be forever proud of the strong family they built with so many great memories over the years. Rest in Peace.” There will be an informal tea at Berwick on the Park on Friday, October 21 from 1:00 - 3:00 pm. A small service will be held when she is buried with her husband in Toronto. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Hospice or the Heart and Stroke Foundation.

Prayer

Wallace Gary Kanngiesser

For

Peace

1938 – 2016

With overwhelming sadness we announce the passing of Gary Kanngiesser, at his home in Salmon Arm, B.C.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy.

His career was in Calgary as controller for Stay Sales, Stampede Pontiac, and Shaw CMC. His retirement years were spent in Yuma, Arizona. Gary’s memoirs, complete obituary and celebration of life details are available at www.bowers funeralservice.com

Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
