While they’re delighted to see the interest, some Kamloops-Thompson board of education trustees are concerned at the size of some of the classes. In a report to trustees this week, School District 73 assistant superintendent Bill Hamblett reported no elementary classes with more than 30 students, but 28 such classes at the secondary level. Twelve of those classes are ones that often have more students than is recommended — music, band, choir, drama and physical education — while the other 16 classes teach core curriculum subjects. Trustee Meghan Wade said while she’s glad to see so much interest in the academic subjects, she will be watching to see if the classes continue to exceed the Ministry of Educationrecommended maximums. Board chair Denise Harper echoed Wade’s comments and concern. Music classes are at the top of the

list of oversubscription. Brocklehurst middle school has one with 44 students and one with 42. Westsyde secondary has a class with 41 students. Other classes with more than 30 students include: • Brocklehurst: math honours (31), hockey academy (32), dance (34), gym (31), aquatics academy (39); • Kamloops School of the Arts: choir (36), physical education (31); • NorKam senior secondary: chemistry 12 (34), human performance (31), foundations of math (33), IB English 11 (32), IB geography 11 (32), pre-calculus 12 (34), social studies 10 (33 and 31); • Sa-Hali secondary: communications 12/English 12 (32), foundations of math and pre-calculus 10 (31); • South Kamloops secondary: biology 12 (32), chemistry 11 (31), drama 9/10 (31), human performance 11/12 (32), boys’ physical education 10 (31), physics 11 (31), sciences 10 (32), sciences humaines 10 (32). Hamblett reported other class size averages include kindergarten (20.1), grades 1 to 3 (22.2), grades 4 to 7 (27.3) and secondary grades (23.8). • MORE STUDENTS, PAGE A11

ngila Wilson’s six-year-old son got out of bed and walked to the door of his room. He awoke to a noise — “bam bam,” as he described it — and went to investigate. He opened the door and peeked outside. “He saw dad drop mom on ‘the soft part,’ the carpet,” reads a police report read into B.C. Supreme Court yesterday. “He said, ‘Dad dropped mom on her head.’” The boy told his father, Iain Drummond Scott, that he had wet his bed. “His father tells him to go get changed,” Crown prosecutor Adrienne Murphy said. “He said, ‘Mommy is sleeping.’” Mommy was dead. Scott had stabbed

Wilson, his estranged wife, 11 times — including twice each in the face and back — leaving a bloody mess in the 33-year-old Clearwater woman’s home. Scott took Wilson’s body and placed it on the floor in the bedroom she shared with her seven-year-old daughter, who was, by then, lying awake in bed. Murphy said the girl looked down and was puzzled. “She did not know why her mom was sleeping on the floor because she usually

sleeps with her in bed,” Murphy said. “She heard her dad talking to her mom, but was unable to make out the words. She heard her dad laughing.” Court heard Scott then rounded up his children and said they were leaving. As he ushered them out of the house, the daughter noticed the mess left behind by her mother’s violent murder. “She saw red paint all over the walls, but did not see any paint can,” Murphy said, noting Scott told his three kids it was paint.

“The conversations Mr. Scott is having with his children, he’s cogent. “When he’s asked about the blood, he says, ‘Oh, it’s paint.’” *** Wilson was killed on April 20, 2014, at some point between 9:17 p.m. and 9:29 p.m., court heard. At 9:17 p.m., she was on the phone with Scott’s sister, talking about his erratic behaviour, when the phone went dead. The last words Scott’s sister heard Wilson say during their phone conversation were: “What are you doing here? I’m going to call the police.” At 9:29 p.m., Scott was captured on surveillance video at a Clearwater liquor store buying a bottle of Fireball whisky — the same item he purchased at the same store four hours earlier.

Taxpayers will pay $200K to finish study CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Some councillors lashed out at KGHM Ajax Tuesday for denying top-up funding to help complete a city-commissioned independent study on its proposed mine. Despite that furor by mine opponents, however, council voted unanimously to spend $200,000 of taxpayer dollars to complete independent work by engineering firm SLR Consulting. KGHM Ajax rejected a request by the city for an additional $200,000 to pay for the independent scrutiny after paying the original $300,000 tab. The new money is required due to the length of the environmental-assessment process, which has been put on hold until at least the end of the year. On May 4, the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office (BCEAO) paused its 180day review of the mine’s impacts at Day 107 so KGHM Ajax can answer questions about its 18,000-page application from First Nations bands and other groups. SLR alone has 800 questions about the company’s application. In a letter to Kamloops council, KGHM Ajax project manager Chris Wild said the company will not offer more than the $300,000 it originally committed to fund the study. In September, Allan Michener, environmental services supervisor for the city, said

SLR will need about $200,000 more to finish its review due to delays in the Ajax assessment process and the difficulties in getting information from the company. “I’m shocked — not surprised but upset,” Coun. Donovan Cavers said of the mining company turning down the request for the additional funds. “It’s because there’s so many issues with the original application — that’s why this is happening.” Cavers was joined by councillors Tina Lange and Denis Walsh, who expressed disappointment KGHM Ajax will not continue paying for work done for the city. Coun. Dieter Dudy suggested council “cut our losses” and “see how the chips fall.” But Mayor Peter Milobar said some of the same councillors who castigated KGHM Ajax for not coming up with additional money were opposed to taking the corporation’s money in the first place. “It seems to me when we first asked KGHM for the $300,000, there were people around this table, although they voted for it, they had grave concerns about asking them for money because it would look like they were bribing the city,” Milobar said. “And we shouldn’t be taking any of their money and it should just be taxpayer-funded. And now, because they won’t give us a halfmillion dollars, only $300,000, suddenly it’s a massive insult to the same people.”

Milobar said council asked for the independent SLR study because, as a council, there was a lack of trust in the B.C. Environmental Assessment Office and its process. “I’m not surprised they [KGHM] said no,” Milobar said. “But we decided we should go out and hire SLR to replicate the exact same work that is being paid for by taxpayers. “Health Canada came up with the same list of questions and concerns that SLR did, so did the BCEAO office, so has the working group. “The reason SLR has been engaged is because enough people around this council have such a lack of trust on a process that has been demonstrated to be actually doing the work that we have been told it would always do. Now, SLR seems like a duplication of that work.” Nevertheless, Milobar added, the city is now “in for a penny, in for a pound” as he successfully urged councillors to support the additional spending to see the project through to its completion. Jen Fretz, the city’s public works director, said SLR brings expertise not available on city staff. Coun. Marg Spina said she’s grateful city taxpayers weren’t required to pay the entire $500,000 bill, although some councillors expressed skepticism the total cost will not come in higher when the process is complete.

CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city will butt out of attempting to regulate where pot shops locate, Mayor Peter Milobar told a group of concerned Mount Dufferin residents Tuesday. A number of residents of Hillside Lofts, a condominium building on Hillside Drive across from Aberdeen Village shopping centre, asked council to stop a budding marijuana dispensary from setting up shop. Cannaclinics is in the process of opening a storefront operation next to a strip of businesses, above which sit the condos. John Stewart, a spokesman for the group, said the proposed storefront is inappropriate for the zoning and shouldn’t be near children who live there. Dispensaries are not legal in Canada, but are operating in a grey area until the federal Liberal government comes out with rules for legal medical and recreational sale of marijuana, expected in the spring. Cannaclinics will join at least three other such stores that have operated in Kamloops this year, but has yet to apply for a business licence. The company had not responded to KTW phone and email requests from last week, seeking comment. “It’s not an easy question to answer,” Milobar said of allowing marijuana shops to set up in Kamloops.

Neither the city nor RCMP have taken action against dispensaries recently, unlike in some municipalities, including Chilliwack, Toronto and Nanaimo, where authorities have cracked down. “We’re all in a grey area right now,” Milobar said. “Everyone wants to see what’s happening with the federal government.” City CAO Dave Trawin said the city does not issue business licences to sell marijuana. “We’re monitoring it,” he said. “We’ve liaised with RCMP and are looking as these things pop up that safety issues are dealt with.” Last week, Supt. Brad Mueller told KTW Mounties will take action in marijuana-related cases on “a case-by-case basis” due to legal uncertainty after the federal court declared last winter that Canada’s existing medical-marijuana system is invalid. “Kamloops RCMP is currently conducting a risk-based assessment of all dispensaries and working closely with the City of Kamloops in regulating and setting enforcement strategies to ensure the safety of the general public in regards to any medical cannabis dispensary concerns,” Mueller said. Following the presentation to council on Tuesday, Stewart told reporters residents want the city to understand the proposed Cannaclinics location is not the right place for sale of marijuana. “It’s not the use,” Stewart said. “It has to be in the right location.”

John O’Fee knows what it’s like to have to line up early at a walkin clinic for medical care. While O’Fee has a doctor — one he has had since he was 17 — his wife and children do not. “I’ve stood in that line and I’ve been annoyed waiting,” he said. O’Fee is convinced there has to be a better way and sees the two new primary-care clinics scheduled to open next year on the North Shore as an example of how health care can evolve. It’s a belief he brings to his new position as chair of the board of directors for the Interior Health Authority, a body he was appointed to earlier this year. O’Fee said he doesn’t come with a lack of experience in the field, having already been on the board of the Provincial Health Services Authority that oversees a budget of $2.4 billion. The authority oversees agencies including B.C. Children’s Hospital, Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children, B.C. Centre for Disease Control, B.C. Women’s Hospital and Health Centre, Cardiac Services B.C. and Perinatal Services B.C. One of the realities fuelling the health-care shift, O’Fee said, is the

reality many new young doctors aren’t interested in running a business. They don’t want to buy a building and equipment, O’Fee said, and “manage staff, deal with the photocopier.” They want to be able to walk into a clinic already established and provide medical care to patients without the other aspects of running their own practice — a turnkey operation like the two clinics planned on the North Shore. O’Fee said he feels a bit of frustration when he hears people complain the IHA isn’t doing enough to bring doctors to Kamloops, where an estimated 30,000 don’t have a family physician and between 15,000 and 20,000 of that population actually need one. “We’re not getting a 45-year-old doctor to pull up stakes and move here,” O’Fee said, arguing the way to attract doctors is to target younger physicians and

give them a business model that works for them. It also means offloading some of the medical work from the physician to others, he said, relating it to his own occupation as a lawyer. “If you hire me to be your lawyer and I’m typing letters for you, that’s not a good use of your money,” O’Fee said. “I have people who can do that and do it better than I can.” It’s why he’s pleased the new clinics will have other medical professionals on staff through the IHA to provide specific services in areas like geriatrics, mental health and substance abuse. O’Fee would also like to see changes made to the clinic model in the province. At one of his first board meetings after being appointed in July, the discussion turned to creation of the new clin-

ics and he asked how they will be scheduled. O’Fee said it makes no sense to have people lining up at walk-in clinics to have a prescription renewed or other minor medical requirements addressed. He would like to see a scheduling application created so people can book appointments for prescriptions and the like. They would then not be forced to join the queue and wait with others whose ailments are more serious. O’Fee is also optimistic about the relationship between the IHA and the University of British Columbia medical school, one that sees up to 10 young doctors come to Royal Inland Hospital to study and work with established family physicians in the community. They are more likely to stay, he said, particularly if they can work at a turnkey clinic.

He’d been in the liquor store earlier,” Murphy said. “There was really no reason for Mr. Scott to attend to buy Fireball whisky. Crown theorizes this is a clumsy attempt by him to establish some kind of alibi.” *** Scott’s 10-year relationship with Wilson was a turbulent one, especially in the weeks and months leading up to her murder. “It was a relationship, a life, built on a house of cards — some good times, some bad times, some long, long tales and some Fireball whisky,” Murphy said. Fireball was Scott’s drink of choice, Murphy said, and his drinking drove many of the problems he and Wilson had. There had been breakups and reconciliations but, Murphy said, Wilson meant it when the couple split in early 2014. On March 7, 2014, Wilson signed a lease on the Clearwater home that would six weeks later be behind police tape. Scott did not take the breakup well. “He was not accepting that his wife has moved on,” Murphy said, noting Scott’s text messages to Wilson painted such a picture. Murphy read some of the messages in court. Wilson’s replies were cordial, but firm. “I do not want to hear that you love me anymore,” she texted him on March 29. “I want you to respect my wishes because I don’t feel the same way about you.” Around the same time, Wilson talked to friends about her feeling Scott was “keeping track” of her. He was. Murphy said Scott had a friend doing drive-by checks of Wilson’s new home and asked others to do the same in vehicles she would not recognize. *** In early April, Scott began to spiral out of control. After using cocaine with friends at a party on April 5, Murphy said, he had hallucinations about a police tactical team surrounding his house and chasing him through the woods. Three days later, he visited the Clearwater RCMP detachment to ask officers if the event had actually happened. “The police, the following day, go see Angila Wilson,” Murphy said. “It arises from this strange report.” On April 10, Wilson confronted Scott at his home after a friend told her she had seen him speeding through a stop sign while on his way to pick up their children from school. Scott responded by throwing a 40-pound bag of rock salt through

the windshield of her car, Murphy said. Wilson left with the kids and Scott cut his wrists. Police found him drunk and with superficial wounds to his forearms in the basement of his home. “He was cycling through his emotions and was very intoxicated,” reads a police report filed after the incident. Scott was taken to Royal Inland Hospital and held overnight. He was released on April 11 after being interviewed by a psychiatrist. Following his release, Scott stopped at a downtown Kamloops store to buy Wilson a hat. Murphy said Scott never intended to kill himself, but feigned the attempt in an effort to keep police from investigating the rocksalt incident. The same day Scott was released, the Ministry of Children and Family Development became involved, working on a “safety plan” for Wilson. *** Wilson spent April 11 in an improvised “safe house” — a room at a Clearwater hotel. Police hid her vehicle so Scott could not find her. Wilson did not like being in hiding, Murphy said, and left with her kids the following day, running into Scott outside a Clearwater grocery store. “He comes up to the vehicle where the children are and she says, ‘You shouldn’t be here,’” Murphy said. “Then he says to Angila, ‘Hey, look, I got you a hat,’ and he gives her that present.” Five days later, Wilson was in a Kamloops courtroom getting a protection order against Scott. While she was in court, Scott was in nearby Royal Inland Hospital recovering from surgery on a broken arm he suffered in a bike crash. In hospital, Scott was held until he could be checked over by the same psychiatrist who released him the previous week. He was released again on April 17. Murphy said Scott talked to the doctor about his hopes of reconciling with Wilson. In his notes, the psychiatrist said Scott did not present signs of being “psychotic, suicidal or homicidal.” *** April 18, 2014, was Good Friday. Wilson spent the day doing church activities and taking part in an Easter egg hunt. The protection order, granted on April 16, had not yet been served on Scott. Murphy said staff at the Kamloops courthouse had not been able to fax a copy to Clearwater RCMP or get an original to Wilson. “The circumstances may have been different had that order been served, but it had not,” she said. Two days later, Wilson took her kids to Easter dinner at a friend’s house. While she was celebrating the holiday, Scott was sitting at

a picnic table outside her empty house sending her text messages. “I love you more than all the universe,” read one. Scott left before Wilson and their children returned home, but he returned at 9:17 p.m., interrupting Wilson’s phone call with his sister. “It appears Ms. Wilson died not very shortly, if not immediately, after Mr. Scott’s arrival at the residence,” Murphy said. *** Wilson’s friend phoned police the following day after noticing blood on the door of her home. Police found her body inside and zeroed in on Scott, surrounding his house with a tactical team — not unlike the hallucination that first landed him in Royal Inland Hospital. The children were rescued by police. Court has heard no evidence that they were physically harmed. After an hours-long standoff, during which time Scott would not answer the phone for a police negotiator, officers entered Scott’s home and found him lying in bed. He was arrested without incident and has been in custody since. “The house of cards had, in essence, come to an end,” Murphy said. *** Scott pleaded guilty to seconddegree murder, meaning he will automatically receive a life sentence. The hearing taking place this week is to determine how long he will spend behind bars before becoming eligible for parole. Murphy is seeking a period of 14 to 15 years. “Ms. Wilson was killed in her own home while her children were sleeping in their beds — and, if not sleeping, awake and observing what was happening,” she said, noting Scott left his children alone after the slaying to go to the liquor store. “There is a form of abuse that occurred when the father left his kids at that crime scene.” Defence lawyer Ian Donaldson has pitched a 10- to 12-year period of parole ineligibility. A decision on sentencing from B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Austin Cullen is expected today. *** Wilson and Scott’s children are in the care of the Ministry of Children and Family Development. They are undergoing counselling that, to this point, had been stunted because of the unknown outcome of the case against Scott. With the guilty plea, the children will now be able to receive full counselling. Until now, ministry counsellors had to be careful about how they discussed the situation so as not to influence their potential testimony at their father’s trial. Wilson’s family and Scott’s sister are both seeking custody of the children.

The knife-wielding suspect in the Oct. 25 robbery at the Mac’s store at 205 Tranquille Rd. on the North Shore.

Police seek Mac’s robbers Two robbers got away with cash and cigarettes after using a knife to hold up a convenience store on the North Shore early Tuesday morning. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jody Neuls said two men walked into the Mac’s store at 205 Tranquille Rd. at 6:30 a.m. and robbed the clerk at knifepoint. There were no injuries. Neuls said the bandits took off in a black 2010 Kia sedan, possibly bearing the licence plate 923 XPH, that was reported stolen from the South Shore the night before. The suspect holding the knife is described as being a white man about 30 years of age. He had a brown beard with no moustache, stands 5-foot-10 and has a medium build. He was wearing a green, horizontal-striped hoodie, a camouflage bandana and a black cap. There is no description of the second robber. Anybody with information is asked to call police at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800222-8477.

Living-wage policy dies at council table CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops council will not study the costs of implementing a so-called living-wage policy that would require municipal contractors to pay workers more than $17 an hour. Councillors voted 6-3 Tuesday against a motion to do so by Coun. Donovan Cavers. That motion came after a presentation from Thompson Rivers University law student Sonja Luck, who presented information from her master’s degree study at Simon Fraser University. Luck told councillors she looked at examples of implementing a living wage, an hourly amount that looks at basic costs of shelter, food and other expenses for two parents with two children. In Kamloops, that works out to $17.21 per hour. The cost to implement a livingwage policy for the City of New Westminster was $70,000 annually on an $80-million budget.

It affected library shelvers and concession workers. The Royal City was the first city to adopt the policy. Since then, Parksville, Port Coquitlam, Quesnel and Vancouver have adopted the policy, which typically affects contracted workers to the municipality. Cavers and councillors Arjun Singh and Denis Walsh were the only votes in favour of costing out the plan for the city. “It’s to set a good example,” Walsh said. “We’re just looking for research right now.” Mayor Peter Milobar said he is skeptical of the impact of the policy because it would affect few workers. “It looks good on paper and it hasn’t affected anyone’s working life,” he said, adding he is uncomfortable dictating to city contractors what they should pay their workers when he does not pay a minimum $17.21 to staff at the Aberdeen liquor store he operates. “I can’t afford that in my own business,” Milobar said.

KEEP THE HO’S FOR CHRISTMAS

e never seem to get out of the Halloween season without at least a few incidences of people protesting the types of costumes both worn and available for the spookiest night of the year. Some of the outrage might be a little dramatic. However, other people irked by some of the dress-up clothes mass manufactured for Oct. 31 have a point. Sometimes things that were once considered OK by the masses aren’t any longer. Case in point: the nickname of a certain NFL team. We imagine that many a child of yesteryear dressed up as an “Indian,” for example — something that has since fallen clearly under the heading of cultural insensitivity. But walk into any of a number of seasonal Halloween stores, in Kamloops and beyond, and you will come face to face with a Squaw costume, complete with what is supposed to be a sexy deerskin dress/skirt. Then there was the ill-considered Tranny Granny costume that has been pulled this year from Amazon and Walmart for obvious reasons. Having seen pictures, we can’t imagine this would have been a great seller anyway, quite aside from its perpetuation of outdated gender stereotypes. And, while clowns have captured the headlines — Canadian Tire and other stores are pulling such costumes in wake of the rash of clowns scaring the bejeesus out of people across the world — consider this item from the Children of the Street Society. The society has resorted to begging parents not to send their children out trick-or-treating as a pimp or a “ho.” It’s horrifying to think there are enough parents encouraging or allowing this that an organization felt the need to send out a media release. What parent thinks it would be fun to send their kid out dressed as someone in the sex trade? It’s not funny or clever or edgy. It’s just sad — and beyond bad taste.

Who will speak for the kids?

t’s a sad week in this province — and proof the provincial government isn’t concerned about our most vulnerable. This week marks the end of the decade British Columbians have had Mary Ellen TurpelLafond holding the government to account in her role as the Representative for Children and Youth. It was her job, along with those who staffed her office, to review results of government involvement with children and youth. She often reviewed the kind of stories that made headlines and no doubt prompted a lot of tears, not just from the people involved in the individual cases, but from the average British Columbian who wondered how these tragedies could occur. I’ve certainly been one of them. In the 10 years since she was appointed to the job — one created in the aftermath of a report by retired judge Ted Hughes, who was hired to conduct an independent review of the province’s child-protection system — Turpel-Lafond has reviewed 17,000 cases and made more than 200 recommendations to government. In her final report, TurpelLafond outlined what has worked and what needs urgent attention. Among successes, she wrote, was the advocacy her office did on behalf of children and youth, providing them with a voice they might not otherwise have had. That advocacy led to almost doubling of the number of cases

Street

LEVEL she reviewed, starting her decade with 1,191 in 2007 and finishing this year with 2,096. That, she wrote, was her greatest success. The number of children in care has declined during her watch. In 2006, there were 9,097; this year, there are 7,198. However, the percentage of aboriginal children and youth in care has increased to 61 per cent from 50 per cent. “This despite the fact that aboriginal children and youth comprise only about nine per cent of B.C.’s total child and youth population,” Turpel-Lafond wrote. A report that stands out for her involved a former Kamloops teen, a young girl identified only as Paige. At the time of its release last year, Turpel-Lafond called it one of the most horrific cases she investigated, one that led to Paige dying at the age of 19 in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. Virtually every person and agency involved in Paige’s short life failed her, including the child-

protection system, health-care and social-service agencies, the education system and the police. Areas that need urgent work include helping youth leave foster care, improving indigenous childwelfare services and improving services and supports to children and youth with high needs. Government also needs to figure out a way to help children and youth in a cross-ministerial way, not through ministerial silos that now exist. Turpel-Lafond’s final urgent call is for government to put children at the centre and be accountable. That’s an interesting one to end with because, while knowing her term was coming to an end, the government has not appointed anyone to replace Turpel-Lafond as the representative for the province’s most vulnerable. A committee was struck in the spring to hire one, but has not done that. There is no succession plan, no opportunity for transition from one to the next. Turpel-Lafond has not been shy in her criticism of government. Even as she leaves, she has said Victoria often worked against her, left her feeling as if it was retaliating for what she was saying and reporting. Hughes has said TurpelLafond proved the need for the position and the value it has in identifying deficiencies in the child-protection system. It makes one wonder just what the future is for this position. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR EXPENSIVE INTAKE VOTE JUST ABSURD Editor: It is with surprise and dismay that I learned of the majority vote in council for an alternative water supply on North Thompson River should a spill occur in the South Thompson River, from where Kamloops gets its water. A spill in the South Thompson from the CP Rail line has not happened in 150 years and, if it did, CPR would be somewhat accountable for getting our water flowing quickly. I wonder if the four councillors who supported the motion checked with any of the hundreds of towns and cities in Canada bordering rivers to determine if they ever had such an emergency. I live on the river and all trains in Kamloops slow down and stop in Kamloops for crew changes. Did councillors consider that CN Rail runs right along the North Thompson? I cant imagine a more ridiciulous expenditure of taxpayers’ money. I hope the six members who voted for the money will run in the 2018 civic election. I will be at each of the public election forums and ask each to explain their reasons for supporting this absurd project. John Hart Kamloops

“A lot of good points, but the bottom line is the impact the closure of Lafarge has on its employees and the employees of companies that serve as suppliers to Lafarge. It is extremely hard on families” — posted by Lawrence Beaton

HALLOWEEN WASTE IS HORRIFYING Editor: Halloween, sandwiched as it is between Thanksgiving and Remembrance Day, often gives me pause to consider what an entitled and wasteful bunch we have become. Being neither a farmer nor a nutritionist, I don’t have exact figures on the amount of energy it requires to grow the truckloads of jack-o-lanterns or the food value of the flesh and seeds that will be, for the most part, smashed on city streets or thrown in the garbage.

With pumpkin seeds in the bulk section selling for $1.10 per 100 grams, I can only imagine we are throwing away a tidy sum of money. Looking even briefly on the Internet, there seems to be an endless supply of healthy pumpkin recipes for soup, loaf and muffins, not to mention pie. One wonders how much time and energy would be required to mobilize willing and able volunteers to arrange pick up or dropoff locations on Nov. 1 so those beautiful pumpkins and their

seeds can be turned into nutritious food for so many in our city requiring help from wonderful groups like our food bank. I won’t mention the load it would remove from our landfill or people will start to get the idea I’m just another one of those left wing, pinko, environmental types trying to spoil all the fun on another of our kids’ religious holidays. That’s all from here. I have to go stir the pumpkin seeds. Sheldon Shore Kamloops

Wi-Fi at B.C. rest stops The province will provide Wi-Fi service at key highway rest areas, beginning with five installations that will include the Britton Creek facility on the Coquihalla Highway, just north of the former tollbooth location. Todd Stone, Kamloops-South Thompson MLA and minister of transportation, said the service is aimed at the trucking sector, as well as tourists. ICBC and Telus are partners in the project. ICBC CEO Mark Blucher said one of the goals is to deter distracted driving by luring motorists

The four other initial installations are on Highway 16 east of Tete Jaune Cache; on Highway 23, 49 kilometres north of Nakusp; on Highway 16, seven kilometres north of Smithers; and on

Highway 4, 37 kilometres west of Port Alberni. Those areas will be in service by the spring, followed by installation at 20 other rest stops in later years. Special Wi-Fi highway signs (including the one pictured above) will be installed to alert motorists.

With a terse, “I’m done,” Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond left the B.C. legislature Monday with a month still to go in her tumultuous 10-year term as B.C.’s independent Representative for Children and Youth. Turpel-Lafond gave her final report to an all-party committee of MLAs, highlighting successes and tragedies in the B.C. government’s struggles with children in provincial government care. Her term ends Nov. 27. Staff in B.C.’s firstever independent child and youth watchdog

office are carrying on their investigations until a replacement is appointed by the legislature. Turpel-Lafond said Children and Family Development Minister Stephanie Cadieux has refused to meet with her in the past year and she has had little communication with legislature Speaker Linda Reid on the issue of her replacement. Turpel-Lafond’s final report shows improvement, with the number of children and youth in care down from more than 9,000 in 2007 to about 7,200 this year. But the number of aboriginal youth in care has come down by only

about 100 from 4,551 in 2007. A key to the dispute between the B.C. Liberal government and TurpelLafond was a report by former deputy minister Bob Plecas last year on the ministry’s handling of a child-protection case in which the father was accused of sexually abusing his children. Turpel-Lafond told the committee Monday that Plecas not only made errors in his report, he turned it from a case review into a performance review of the independent office. Plecas recommended the independent office be phased out and replaced by an internal “contrarian” to investi-

gate ministry response to deaths and serious injuries. Turpel-Lafond has issued detailed investigations on cases such as that of Alex Gervais, an 18-year-old who fell to his death in September 2015 from a fourthfloor hotel room in Abbotsford. The ministry moved him there after the group home he was in, run by a delegated aboriginal child welfare agency, was shut down due to inadequate conditions. Plecas argued TurpelLafond’s continuing focus on high-profile individual tragedies eroded morale in a ministry already struggling to hire and retain staff.

Quilchena campground, marina to get TNRD nod? store, hotel, full-service guest ranch and two golf courses.

ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Thompson-Nicola Regional District is expected to hold a public hearing today to consider the development of a campground and marina on an eight-hectare portion of Quilchena Ranch, roughly 15 kilometres northeast of Merritt. The property, which needs to be rezoned by the TNRD board of directors before the project can move forward, is located across Highway 5A from the Quilchena Golf Course, on the eastern shore of Nicola Lake. In her report to the board, TNRD director of development services Regina Sadilkova recommended public-hearing input be considered and, if no amendments are proposed, that the zoning amendment bylaw enabling the project be read a third time for approval. The applicant — the Douglas Lake Cattle Company and DS Cunliffe Engineering Services — is proposing the creation of an RV campground on lakeshore land currently used as a hayfield. In 2002, the TNRD approved a maximum of 100 campsites

Shooting for more room

as part of the Quilchena Legacy Project. There are 26 sites in an existing campground beside the nine-hole Quilchena golf course. Preliminary plans for the new project are for a 40-site campground, but up to 74 sites could be developed. Meanwhile, the proposed marina would be built on lands formerly leased to the Kamloops Sailing Association and developed for the 1993 Canada Summer Games. The applicant intends to build a marina clubhouse and

restaurant. An existing boatstorage area remains, but the old dock has been removed. The proposed marina would include a new dock with 25 boat slips, along with a commercial dock. It would not include the storage or sale of marine fuel. Sadilkova’s report said TNRD staff recommended approval of the project on the basis it preserves and increases productivity of agricultural lands and local food production, will allow a high-production cattle ranch to diversity operations and because economic-development policy

generally supports tourist-oriented developments. The re-development of the eight-hectare property was previously forwarded by the TNRD to the Agricultural Land Commission, where it was supported if the ranch would exchange less-productive lakefront property for another more productive area in the Agricultural Land Reserve. The TNRD has previously approved a number of developments for Quilchena Ranch, which has been operating for 100 years and includes a general

The Heffley Creek Rifle, Shotgun and Handgun Club has its sights set on expanding the range that has been its home for more than 30 years. The TNRD is expected to hold a public hearing at its board of directors meeting today to consider a proposed expansion of the sport shooting range north of Kamloops. The club has a number of plans for the expansion, including the addition of permanent structures that will serve as a clubhouse and a caretaker dwelling. It will also establish a shortterm dry camping area, which will be limited to member use during occasional weekend events. The expansion would have to occur within a 1.5-hectare lease area. The Heffley Creek Gun Club was registered as a society in 1983, but was used informally as a gun range previously. It offers a range of shooting experiences.

Inmate out of segregation after four years KEITH LESLIE

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — An inmate who has been held in segregation for the past four years in a Thunder Bay jail has been moved to a regular cell. Ontario Correctional Services Minister David Orazietti said Adam Capay is now in a standard cell. Unlike the previous

Plexiglas cell in which he spent the past 52 months in segregation, the lights can be dimmed. Orazietti said the 23-year-old Capay now has access to a day room, telephone and television, but he does not have a cellmate and he will be kept separate from the general population. The minister said it is his understanding Capay would rather

be in the new cell than be transferred to another institution while he awaits trial in connection with the 2012 death of another inmate. Orazietti admitted there is an “overreliance on segregation in the correctional system,’’ but noted inmates can ask to be held in isolation to protect themselves. New Democrat critic Jennifer French said

the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled a “reasonable delay’’ in getting to trial should be no more than 30 months. “Adam Capay has waited nearly twice that long,’’ French said. “Worst of all, it’s for a crime for which he has not yet been convicted.’’ Capay’s case came to light after a guard tipped off Ontario Human Rights

Commissioner Renu Mandhane when she was visiting the 90-year-old Thunder Bay jail earlier this month. The government ordered a second review of the use of segregation in jails after receiving the results of a previous review earlier this month, which prompted Orazietti to announce a 15-consecutive-day limit on

inmates being held in disciplinary segregation, down from 30. He said the government wants to see segregation used only as a “means of last resort’’ in any jail. The province also wants a weekly segregation-review committee created at each correctional institution to conduct case reviews of all inmates held in isolation. “Segregation is used across institutions in our correctional system, both at the request of an individual for their safety and for the safety of othVANCOUVERWHEN ers in the institution,’’ Orazietti said. There are many

reasons for delays in getting a case to trial, Orazietti said, noting Capay’s case is unusual for its length of pretrial custody. “The four years speaks to the fact that the court system and the Crown attorneys need to bring cases as quickly as they can to court,’’ he said. Earlier this year, the province’s ombudsman urged the government to end indefinite segregation, saying the office had received many complaints. The ombudsman also called on the government to keep no inmate in isolation for more than 60 days in a year.

HOME PRICES RISING AT A FASTER RATE

CMHC’s risk rating at highest level for first time ALEXANDRA POSADZKI

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — There is mounting proof home prices are rising at a faster rate, Canada’s federal housing agency said yesterday as it increased its risk rating for the national housing market to its highest level for the first time. In July, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said there was little indication of price acceleration, which occurs when home prices are climbing faster than the historical average. But in its latest housing market assessment report, released yesterday, CMHC said it now sees moderate evidence price acceleration is occurring on a national level. Accelerating prices are a possible sign that speculation — buying and selling homes to turn a profit — is taking place, according to the agency. CMHC also said there is strong evidence increases in income and population growth have not kept up with the rise in home prices over the last quarter. The two factors combined prompted CMHC to raise a red flag about possible risks in the national housing market for the first time ever, hiking its risk rating from moderate to strong — something CMHC signalled earlier this month it was going to do. However, the agency is predicting the market will start to balance itself out next year, with both sales and the pace of housing starts expected to decline next year before stabilizing in 2018. “When you have an imbalance like what we’re seeing right now in that the level of prices is beyond what fundamentals can support, over the medium term, those kinds of things historically have been resolved,’’ CMHC chief economist Bob Dugan said during a conference call. “So, we would expect to see prices

moving more in line with fundamentals rather than the spread just becoming wider and wider.’’ Royal LePage president Phil Soper agrees. “The market does self-regulate and in only rare cases do you get a Vancouver situation, where in a relatively limited geographic area you see spiking home prices — typically due to a sharp imbalance in supply and demand,’’ Soper said. Ottawa’s recent move to tighten rules on insured mortgages will help prevent the chasm between prices and economic fundamentals from becoming too wide, Dugan said. “The imbalances resolve themselves over time, but the greater the imbalance becomes, the harder that correction can be,’’ Dugan said. “So, having measures that help promote stability in the market can help prevent sharp corrections in house prices.’’ Earlier this month, the federal government announced a number of changes that will affect the realestate market. Among them is a new requirement that took effect Oct. 17, in which all insured mortgages have to undergo a stress test to determine whether borrowers are still able to make mortgage payments if interest rates rise or their income declines. Previously, such stress tests weren’t required for fixed-rate mortgages longer than five years. CMHC’s housing market assessment is intended to be an early warning system to alert Canadians about problematic conditions developing in the country’s real estate markets. It covers 15 regional markets and the national housing market as a whole. CMHC said there is strong evidence of problematic conditions in Vancouver, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina, Toronto and Hamilton. Edmonton, Winnipeg, Montreal and Quebec City show moderate evidence of such conditions, the agency said.

BRUSSELS — In a race against the clock, the European Union edged closer yesterday to being able to sign a free trade deal with Canada today after Belgium made progress in lifting the veto of one of its regions. But it remained unclear to everyone — including, it seemed, the federal Liberal government — whether Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would be able fly to Brussels for an official signature ceremony today, seven years after negotiations began. EU President Donald Tusk told EU legislators that “the summit tomorrow is still possible’’ after days of talks in Brussels between the national government and its regions seemed to be heading for a breakthrough. Belgium needs all its regions to sign on and the EU, in turn, needs unanimity among all its 28 states. Trudeau, in his response to a query about the agreement during question period yesterday, suggested he’s prepared to wait out a longer timeline. “We are confident that, in the coming days, we will see a positive outcome for this historic deal,’’ the prime minister told the House of Commons. Belgian Foreign Minister Didier Reynders said during a break in talks that “all necessary documents’’ could be sent to EU officials later yesterday for a final vetting among member states. Rudy Demotte, leader of the Wallonia-Brussels federation, which is closely aligned with the francophone

Wallonia region in Belgium’s byzantine constitutional structure, said “we still need a bit of time for some verification and political contacts to see if the conditions are respected and if the texts match legally what we want to express politically.’’ Paul Magnette, the leader of Belgium’s holdout region Wallonia, said that some details still need to be clarified, notably in the agriculture sector, where he wants his farmers better protected. If the regional leaders agree, the

deal would likely still have to go back to the regional francophone legislatures for approval. It makes the deadline for signature ever tighter, making it more likely by the hour that today’s EU-Canada summit could be either scrapped or delayed. Politicians in Wallonia, which has a population of 3.6 million compared to more than 500 million in the entire EU, argue the proposed accord would undermine labour, environment and consumer standards.

Proponents say it would yield billions in added trade through customs and tariff cuts and other measures to lower barriers to commerce. At the same time, the EU said it will keep in place the region’s strong safeguards on social, environmental and labour issues. He said Wallonia’s insistence on a better deal would bolster EU standards and set a strong precedent for other trade talks between Europe and trading partners like the United States or Japan.

With 39 named and countless unnamed waterfalls trickling down the mountains in its boundaries, Wells Gray Park has earned its nickname: Canada’s Waterfalls Park. Triple Decker Falls is one of the named falls. It is lesser-known and less visited, despite the fact it’s the first falls you come to as you drive up the main road into the park. There is no sign indicating the trailhead. Unless you know it’s there, you would easily pass it by. I heard about it during my hike to Trophy Mountain. I met a fellow hiker who told gave me directions to the secret trailhead. On my next visit to Wells Gray, I was determined to see the falls. My two hiking buddies and I did just that. At the end of a long day of hiking, we stopped and took the 500-metre trail down the hill to the falls. They are gorgeous, at 60 metres high. From there, we returned to the car; however, a

trail continues on. The River Trail is a seven-kilometre oneway hike that takes you past volcanic and river formations. You see amazing bluffs, natural land bridges, waterfalls and river features. It ends at the end of Dutch Lake Road. It is recommended you park a vehicle on each end of the trail.

HOW TO GET THERE:

From Kamloops, drive to Clearwater. At the traffic circle, drive up Clearwater Valley Road, the main road into Wells Gray Park. Farther up the road, you will see a small pullout on the left with a sign that says “Woodlot license No. 301.” Parking is available and you will see the trailhead.

Things are getting creepy around Kamloops With Halloween just around the corner, we’ve compiled a list of spooky local happenings RDC PHOTOGRAPHY PHOTOS

he rules are clear: dress like a zombie, walk like a zombie and absolutely no acting normal. The 11th annual Zombie Walk returns to the downtown core on Saturday, with enough blood and guts to make you feel like you’re filming an episode of The Walking Dead. Those with a hankering for brains can join the walk in zombie attire by meeting in the parking lot behind the Grind Coffee Shop on the corner of Fourth Avenue and Lansdowne Street at 1:45 p.m. The walk starts at 2 p.m. When it wraps up, participants are invited to join for a beer at Red Collar Brewing, at 355 Lansdowne St. All are welcome to join, but common sense is in order: don’t wander in front of vehicles, obey traffic lights and don’t smear blood on windows of downtown businesses. For more information, search for the event on Facebook.

Corn mazes, haunted houses and more:

The annual Zombie Walk returns to downtown Kamloops on Saturday. If you’re interested in participating, grab some makeup, search for a tutorial on YouTube and head down to the parking lot of the Grind Coffee Shop at 1:45 p.m. If not, grab lunch downtown and take it all in. It’s sure to put people in a spooky mood.

“Creating safe communities means protecting the environment and the people.” – Dion Arnouse, Emergency Management Consultant, Kinder Morgan Canada

Trans Mountain’s emergency management team has connected with over 100 Aboriginal communities along the BC-Alberta pipeline route. We assess each community’s capacity to respond to a civil emergency, then provide support to upgrade emergency response skills accordingly. The primary objective is to ensure an organized response to a spill. However, as the chances of a spill are low, local residents who are trained well with a safety mindset are equally prepared to respond to a more likely natural event, such as a fire, flood or ice storm. Putting safety first is our number one priority.

•

There is a constant focus on community safety, emergency preparedness and environmental protection.

•

Emergency preparedness training benefits include skills in dealing with all hazards, including fires, floods and extreme storms.

•

To date, 40 Aboriginal communities located along the pipeline and marine corridor in British Columbia and Alberta have signed Mutual Benefit Agreements.

•

For both Trans Mountain and Aboriginal training, we conduct exercises and drills year-round in all seasons and conditions – on land, water, even on ice – throughout the entire system.

•

We have connected with more than 100 Aboriginal communities along the entire pipeline route.

•

There are 15 equipment caches along the pipeline and over $3 million will be invested in new emergency response equipment.

Not your average pep rally About 1,000 secondary school students gathered at the Tournament Capital Centre yesterday for a Youth Leadership Development Rally aiming to inspire students to a make a positive impact in their community. Health Promoting Schools co-ordinator Sherry Stade said the event resulted from several meetings with leadership students in School District 73 who showed an interest in working as a collective and learning more about how to give back, hence the theme “knowing your community.” “They are very curious about each other,” Stade said. “So we’re bringing them all together so they can get pumped up, to inspire them to go back and work on projects that are meaningful and relevant to their own school and their neigh-

bourhood.” Stade said the district chose to partner with the United Way to help students understand the role non-profits play. The rally included a series of local speakers presenting Ignite sessions, including Kristi Rintoul from the United Way on the impact of empathy; Jennifer Casorso from the City of Kamloops on social capital; Jo Berry on building community through movement; and Jessica Vliegenthart from the Kamloops Adapted Sports Association on resilient communities. Two motivational speakers also presented: Vancouver’s Melanie Levenberg, who communicated a message of healthy living and thriving in your community through her dance session, and Toronto’s Ian Tyson, whose “comedy with a message” focused on creating a sense of community.

Know of a family in need?

Habitat to break ground next year

The Kamloops branch of Habitat for Humanity is looking for two families in need of housing for its next build. â€œWeâ€™re still in the planning stage,â€? Celine Calfa, executive director of Habitat for Humanity Kamloops told KTW. â€œWeâ€™re hoping to break ground in March next year.â€? Calfa invited interested families to an information sessions on Monday, Nov. 7, at Westsyde Fellowship Church at 2833 Westsyde Rd. The project will be a duplex on Westsyde Road. â€œWeâ€™re looking for families with children, No. 1, but also their current home is unsuitable and weâ€™re looking at how much they spend on rent,â€? she said. â€œThe families, of course, have to commit to 500 volunteer hours.â€? To date, Habitat for Humanity has built eight homes in Kamloops. â€œWe try to do one every two years, so one year is spent getting contractors on board, doing fundraising,â€? Calfa said. â€œThatâ€™s where weâ€™re at right now.â€? For more information, go online to habitatkamloops.com.

ESTEREL, QUE. — Is Mazda’s self-confessed “tireless pursuit of Jinba-Ittai” just mumbo jumbo? My confession: I’ve regularly dismissed it as the latter and rolled my eyes every time I heard some earnest young Mazda technical person from HQ in Japan preach the philosophy. However, I think plain-speaking Rob Murdoch, Mazda Canada’s National Manager of Technical Services, made a believer out of me. I saw the light at the Canadian midcycle relaunch of the refreshed Mazda3. That’s auto-industry talk for an upgrade in looks and equipment a couple of years or so before a new model is introduced, but I digress. First, what the heck is Jinba-Ittai? “It’s about the fundamental thrill of pushing past your biological performance envelope,” Murdoch explained. What? “Unifying the horse and rider or oneness between car and driver really . . . a car so natural it feels like an extension of your own body. To consistently achieve Jinba Ittai, we must tune our cars to please the driver’s subconscious.” Nearly lost me again, Mr. Murdoch. But then we got the Westernized translation for plebes like me. The idea is whether turning, braking or simply cruising, the

— ROB MURDOCH, Mazda Canada’s manager of technical services

G-Vectoring Control technology provides precise control, adjusting the ride and handling according to steering wheel feed back from the driver.

driver controls the vehicle as naturally and easily as if it were an extension of his or her own body while walking or running. We subconsciously make adjustments in our body position and stride in reaction to the elements and gravity. This technology mimics that natural act. The convincing began with video showing people driving cars with and without what Mazda calls G-Vectoring Control technology. The difference in required steering wheel adjustments while taking corners and just keeping the car on the straight and narrow was dramatic. And the resulting reactive body movements were pronounced. The road test of this technology in the brand’s top seller over

a variety of terrains in La Belle Province completed my conversion. It truly provides a more restful and enjoyable drive and enables precise control, adjusting the ride and handling according to steering wheel feed back from the driver. There’s a long technical explanation how this achieved but I can sum its effectiveness in two words — it works. The next most striking improvement in the 2017 Mazda3 sedan and sport (hatchback) is the lack of noise. Significant improvements enables normal conversation at highway speed between the driver and front seat passenger. Much appreciated as yours truly and my co-driver had much gossip to catch up on, when we weren’t debating the differences between Western and Eastern

philosophies. On the looks front, Mazda said of the 2017 edition: “Flowing beauty that reflects a mature sense of composure Embodying the KODO — soul of motion design language . . . that conveys a sense of vitality and dynamism.” Okay, let’s not go there today. There are subtle changes in the cabin and externally but I’ll let the images on this page paint that picture. Personally, the sedan’s looks are more appealing to me than those of the sport edition. There are three trims available for 2017: GX, GS and GT. The base engine is a two-litre power plant with six-speed manual and auto transmissions available. The GT has a 2.5litre power plant and manual transmission.

All trims are comparably equipped to their major market rivals. In other words, they are loaded with standard features, especially on the safety front. The base GX sedan starts at $15,900, the GS $20,300 and the GT $24,000. The sport trims mirror the sedan but the base starts at $19,550. The GS and GT add $1,000 to the corresponding sedan trims. The 2017 fuel economy numbers are being estimated differently across the board this year due to regulatory changes on both sides of the U.S.-Canadian border. The base engine is estimated at 8.5/6.2 L/100km (city/hwy). After treating readers to a lesson in philosophy of Jinba-Ittai, I can’t resist ending on a light note. Bill Reiter, the Burnaby-based comic, once asked me: “What did the Zen Master ask the hot dog vendor?” He paused as I offered only a puzzled look in response. Then he informed me: “Make me one with everything.” I laughed aloud. The guys at Mazda clearly took the punchline seriously.

It doesn’t concern Chad Grimm that the Thompson Rivers WolfPack didn’t pick up a win in eight pre-season contests against Canada West opposition. “For me, the pre-season is the pre-season,” the head coach of the women’s volleyball program said Tuesday. “I don’t — especially early in the season — I don’t play for results, it’s more play for the process.” Grimm said his club needed to sort out its depth chart before getting the season underway, while at the same time building trust and learning each other’s tendencies. The Pack went 2-8 in the pre-season, with both victories coming at Vancouver’s recently held West Coast Classic tournament, against the Ryerson Rams and the Western Mustangs. “I think the girls know they can compete at this level,” Grimm said. “The pre-season doesn’t really concern me.” The Wolves will open the 2016-2017 regular season tomorrow, at home to the Alberta Pandas. The match gets underway at 6 p.m. at the Tournament Capital Centre. The clubs will also play Saturday at 5 p.m. Grimm is entering his third full season at the helm of the women’s volleyball program at Thompson Rivers. Last season, the Pack finished 12-12, qualifying for the Canada West playoffs for the first time since 20112012.

Alberta Pandas @ Thompson Rivers WolfPack

6 p.m. Tournament Capital Centre But a different team will take the court in 2016-2017. Having lost libero Alyssa Wolf, setter Katie Woo and outside hitters Brianne Rauch and Krista Hogewoning to graduation in the spring, the starting lineup for Thompson Rivers has been revamped. “As far as stability, we’re not there yet, but I think our top end can be higher,” Grimm said. “I think we have the athletes that can get us there and it might not be, right now, as stable as we might want. But I think on any given night, we can beat anybody.” The club has two setters in second-year Savannah Guttman and freshman Abby Spratt, who will be expected to step into leading the offence. Hali Drezet, who was an alternate on Canada’s junior national team this summer, has been the WolfPack’s libero through much of exhibition play. Middle Morgan Kolasa and outside hitters Alina Sopizhuk and Julia Niemczewska are entering their final seasons and will be expected to take over some of the volume vacated by graduates.

Thompson Rivers will also benefit from the addition of hitter Rachel Windhorst — the former Atlantic University Sport rookie of the year and a CIS first team all-star — who left St. Mary’s University in Halifax and was a redshirt with the WolfPack last season. But make no mistake, this offence will still run through Canada West and CIS player of the year Iuliia Pakhomenko. Last season, the fifth-year hitter led the Canada West in kills (425), kills per set (4.67), service aces (50), points (496.5) and points per set (5.5). “There’s always room to grow,” Pakhomenko said, reflecting on the pre-season. “Of course, we lost a lot of experienced players, but we also gained a lot of younger players who are ready to step up and improve our game this year. “I’m expecting to be more consistent and help the team as much as I can this year.” Following this weekend against the Pandas, Thompson Rivers will head to Manitoba to face the Brandon Bobcats. The Wolves will then host weekends at the TCC against Calgary’s Mount Royal Cougars and the UBC Thunderbirds, before wrapping the season’s first half in Edmonton against the MacEwan Griffins. “We start with Alberta and Brandon, two teams ranked within the top 10, so I think, right off the bat, that’s a good test to see where we stand,” Grimm said. “Things happen fast, so things will start to sort out in a hurry, as well.”

MANNY SHOW ROLLS ON

B.C. Lions’ receiver Manny Arceneaux doesn’t just catch touchdowns. He blocks, too. After catching a pair of touchdowns in a 32-25 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos last weekend, Arceneaux will be looking to stay hot against the Roughriders in Saskatchewan on Saturday. Kickoff is scheduled for 4 p.m. With 10 touchdown receptions this season, Arceneaux is tied for the league lead in that category with Ernest Jackson and Chris Williams of Ottawa. B.C. and WInnipeg are tied for second in the West Division with two games left on their schedules. Winnipeg is playing host to Ottawa on Saturday. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

WHL replies through press release From A25

“We don’t do a press conference for every single exemption we make,” Bond told the Sun. Owners of five of the six B.C. teams have combined to donate more than $200,000 to the Liberals, according to the NDP release, which makes special mention of Giants’ owner Ron Toigo. Tom Gaglardi is majority owner of the Kamloops Blazers Hockey Club, which has made two donations totalling $2,900 to the B.C. Liberals since 2005, according to Elections BC. Sandman Hotels, owned by the Gaglardis through the family’s Northland Properties company, has made 27 donations totalling $109,875. Sandman also donated $300 to the NDP. There is no evidence that points to the donations being given in return for anything. WHL players are given a monthly stipend of $250, in addition to receiving one year of tuition, textbooks and compulsory fees to a post-secondary institution of their choice for each season played in the league. Players are also provided with top-of-the-line equipment, coaching and training facilities, along with room and board. Travel costs are also covered. “If our WHL clubs were required to provide minimum wage in addition to the benefits the players currently receive, the majority of our teams would not be in a position to continue operating,” a WHL press release said. “Any change to the status of our players as amateur athletes would result in our clubs having to adjust the benefits currently offered to players.” Simpson wants to see evidence of the WHL teams’ finan-

cial struggles, documentation that proves the order was necessary. “I have no idea what money they have,” Simpson said. “They’re saying, “Exempt us from the law and we’ll be good,’ without having to provide evidence. “If this is a sector that has a case to make, then let them show the case and show why they should receive an extraordinary exemption. “And the government hasn’t provided anything to the public saying, ‘Here’s why we had to do this for the viability of the teams.’” A recent study prepared by Kevin Mongeon, an assistant professor of sport management at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ont., placed values on franchises in the WHL and Ontario Hockey League, producing numbers that suggested some clubs can afford to pay players. The study was commissioned by lawyers for former junior players in a lawsuit against the CHL, a fact that leaves its credibility in question to many of those siding with the league. At the top of the list were the Calgary Hitmen, valued at $68.95 million. The Blazers were pegged at $5.39 million, the 12th-most valuable franchise in the WHL. “Recent reports have grossly overstated WHL club revenues and franchise values,” the WHL press release said. “The majority of WHL clubs either break even or lose money on an annual basis and we commend our WHL clubs for their commitment to preserving the benefits provided to our players despite the challenges they face.” The governments of Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and

Washington state have also legally exempted players from employment law. Gaglardi was asked for comment. The Blazers replied by referring KTW to the WHL press release. “We commend the leadership shown by the government of British Columbia in making the clarification to the regulations and believe it supports our position that Western Hockey League players are not employees, but rather are amateur athletes who receive a world-class player experience at the highest level in the Canadian amateur hockey system,” the release said. Todd Stone, the province’s transportation minister and B.C. Liberal MLA for KamloopsSouth Thompson, has not yet replied to KTW’s request for comment. Each of B.C.’s six Western Hockey League teams would fork out approximately $228,000 annually to pay a 24-player roster the province’s $10.85 minimum wage, assuming a 35-hour work week during 25 weeks of the year. The NDP has pledged to raise minimum wage to $15 per hour over its first term in office, if elected on May 9, 2017. Simpson was asked if WHL players would receive minimum wage on top of the education compensation they already receive, should the NDP win the provincial election. “I don’t know how that would work, but we are not going to be a government that easily dismisses or throws out the Employment Standards Act or other laws without justification,” he said. “If they’re deemed to be employees, then, as employees, they should probably get paid.”

It’s always Miller time RONALD BLUM

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

CLEVELAND — David Ross marvels at Andrew Miller and the break on his sinister slider. “He’s hard to catch,’’ said the Chicago Cubs catcher and Miller’s teammate in Boston three years ago. “When you know he’s hard to catch, you know he’s hard to hit.’’ Miller escaped a pair of jams to pitch two scoreless innings and help the Cleveland Indians beat the Chicago Cubs 6-0 in the World Series opener Tuesday night. Game 2 was played yesterday in Cleveland after KTW’s press deadline. A 6-foot-7 lefty with an enormous wingspan, Miller has developed baseball’s most unhittable pitch. He is perhaps the biggest factor in Cleveland’s first AL pennant since 1997, a throwback willing to close or enter in the middle innings. “It kind of sets the tone for our mindset as a club, just trying to figure out a way to help your team win,’’ Cleveland closer Cody Allen said. Now 31, Miller was acquired from the Yankees on Aug. 1 for four prospects. He has thrown 22 scoreless innings in postseason play, including 13 2/3 innings with 24 strikeouts this year. He was voted AL Championship Series MVP, a rare setup man to gain a post-seasonhonour. “I would say before that, his resume is not too shabby, either,’’ Indians manager Terry Francona said. “There’s a reason we gave up what we did for him. “We thought that he could be a guy that we could leverage in situations like we have. And it would make our bullpen that much better and give us a chance to keep playing.’’ In New York, Miller was the baby-faced member of the hardthrowing No Runs DMC bullpen trio that included Dellin Betances and Aroldis Chapman, dealt to the

Cubs on July 25. New York’s closer in 2015, Miller embraced his new role as Chapman’s setup man. With Cleveland, Francona has brought him in as early as the fifth inning, and like an understudy shifting parts each performance, Miller relishes his interchangeable roles. “The best thing that could possibly happen is to be on a winning team and that’s what I enjoy,’’ he said, his face partly obscured by a beard regrown following his exit from the clean-cut Yankees. “If that requires me to pitch the second inning or the ninth inning or play shortstop, I don’t really care. I want to be a part of it.’’ Selected by Detroit with the sixth overall pick in the 2006 amateur draft, Miller struggled with the Tigers, Marlins and Red Sox, compiling a 21-29 record from 200611, when most of his appearances were as a starter. “The start of my career wasn’t anything that you’d brag about or write home about,’’ he said. His career started to change in 2012, on March 20 to be precise. Boston manager Bobby Valentine suggested he work from the stretch fulltime to lessen the movement of his big frame, and Miller injured his left hamstring on his third pitch in an exhibition game against Toronto. When Miller returned, he was relegated to the bullpen. “The hamstring had a lot to do with it when you look back at it, probably an awful lot to do with it,’’ Valentine said. “He wasn’t going to be able to be stretched out enough to compete for the starting role.’’ Miller simplified his repertoire in the bullpen, ditching his sinker and changeup and limiting himself to his fastball and slider. He had a career-best 3.35 ERA, striking out 51 in 40 1/3 innings. “There were no ros-

MLOOPS AN FITNESS

ter spots in the rotation, and the bullpen was the way to go,’’ he said. “I think in hindsight it was a really good thing. It was a blessing in disguise. But you don’t know it at the time.’’ After a torn ligament in his left foot caused him to miss the second half of the 2013 season — and Boston’s run to the World Series title — he struck out 103 in 62 1/3 innings the follow-

ing year with the Red Sox and Orioles, who acquired him at the trade deadline. “He was trying to figure out himself. He’s had some failure as a starter and he struggled through what a lot of starters go through early in their careers, and look at him now,’’ said Juan Nieves, Miller’s pitching coach with the Red Sox in 2013 and 2014.

Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night DYLAN THOMAS Patricia Anne Richmond December 1945 October 2016 Passed away peacefully October 10th, 2016 at home with her husband and daughter by her side. Forever loved and missed by her husband Del, daughter Melissa & grandson Ethan. Survived by her mother Dora Mills and sister Christine Scaife. Pat was an employee of Keyfacts, formally Equifax and was involved with the White Rock Skating Club. Service to be held Saturday, October 29th, 11:00 am, at the Lighthouse Fellowship Church, Kamloops. 7848144

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

He is survived by his three sisters Olga Savovich, Jelena (Craig) Beeson, Anka (John) Meyers and his nieces and nephews Angela (Ryan) Dale-Johnson, Matthew Beeson, Crystal Meyers and Julie Meyers. We are so proud of the work Alex did for 20 years as a Certified Driller, Blaster and First Aid Attendant. He worked for R.F.Welch, Cougar Rock (Joe Postarero) and Chimera Springs Rock Works (Mike Hall) helping to keep roads, highways and railroad tracks safe for travellers in BC. His first job in Kamloops at the age of 16 was working for Frank Swiatkewich’s Postal Delivery Service. After retiring from Rock Scaling, he worked at the C Restaurant, the Plaza Hotel and more recently for The Kamloops Daily News. Five years ago, he started up his own small business called North Okanagan Powerwashing Service. Alex suffered from chronic pain and developed a respiratory disease called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disorder. This made it very difficult for him to breath. Despite his illness he worked hard and was a devoted and loving friend, brother, son and nephew. He was an amazing chef often delighting us with his culinary expertise being able to serve up dishes from ethnic cuisine around the world - insisting on the best and freshest ingredients for his dishes. Alex was also a talented gardener, carpenter, plumber, brick layer and all around handyman; a generous, warm, kind, sincere brother, son and friend. He liked to read, to watch movies and to learn. He was a true lifelong learner. He especially loved his dog Loki-Alexis and together they would enjoy daily nature walks. “God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be so He put His arms around you and whispered “come to me.” With tearful eyes I watched you and saw you pass away although I love you dearly I could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to me He only takes the Best.” Alex is the best brother that a sister could ask for and he cared deeply for his sisters and their families. We shall miss him more than words can express. He will be with us in our minds and hearts forever. A Prayer Service will be held on Thursday, November 3, 2016 at 7:00 pm in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of All Saints, 1044 8th St, Kamloops, BC. The Funeral Mass will be held on Friday, November 4, 2016 at 10:00 am in the Church. Reverend Father Roman Trynoha and Very Reverend Miroslav Dejanov, Father Timolean Prattas Co-Celebrant.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear? Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared. I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow. Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray. But when God sent you to me He never said that you were mine, That I could keep you always – Only borrowed for a time. Now, He’s called you home, I’m sad and I shed tears. Yet I’m glad He loaned you to me And we had these many years.

Obituaries & In Memoriam

Edward Winston Dance November 28, 1941 October 23, 2001

Caroline Marie Dance Skretka June 9, 1944 October 27, 2012

Dr. Allen Russell Ciastko February 23, 1943 – October 18, 2016

A prince of a man has passed Allen, a pediatrician, photographer, adventurer and master of dollar store disguises left us on October 18th, 2016. He was cherished by his wife Val, son Martin, stepdaughters, Jennifer (Dave) and Megan (Danny) and simply adored by four grandchildren Milo, Iggy, Aslan and Tavis. He will be deeply missed by sisters Carol and Lisa (Smiley), brother Norman and nieces Hayley and Lindsay.

Those we love don’t go away. They walk beside us every day... Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still missed, and very dear! You will remain FOREVER in our hearts!

He was a doctor who built a slide on the end of his examining table, transforming his medical office into a playground for his small patients. With wonder and imagination, he used a camera lens to capture landscape and humanity in all its forms. A connoisseur of corny jokes, he was undeterred by lukewarm responses. Through his ego-less, perfect spirit, he captured and held dear the hearts of all who met him. Receiving a diagnosis of Parkinson’s in 2007, our food-loving paddler, hiker and swing dancer soothed us: “I have to die from something!” A stroke in Mexico, a place he and Val loved dearly, diminished his body but not his soul. His compassionate generosity and his magnificent, elfish grin endured. Allen’s family, many friends and fans treasure his memory and will gather to celebrate the stories of his wonderful life on November 5, 2016 at St. Andrews on the Square, 159 Seymour Street, Kamloops at 1:30 pm.

Don Davidson It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Don Davidson on Friday, October 21st, 2016 surrounded by friends and family at the age of 63. A true rags to riches story, Don was raised as a child laborer at a crowded foster home until he was rescued at age 11 and taken to The Everdale Place, Canada’s first free school in Hillsburgh, Ontario. There he flourished and became known as a creative, honest, dedicated businessman. These traits became the hallmark of Don’s entire career. Don thrived in the forestry industry, first as a logging contractor, working all over Canada, then transitioning into heavy equipment sales. His colleagues, employees and managers would remark at Don’s capacity to work long, hard hours cheerfully and always with his trademark ear-to-ear smile. His love and knowledge of the outdoors led Don to be an accomplished fly fisherman and his passion for it inspired many to take up the sport themselves. Don was even known to purchase a first fly rod for those who expressed interest in ‘wetting a line.’ As recent health challenges began to mount, Don faced many painful operations, procedures and chemotherapy sessions with strength, positivity and dignity. Don’s healthcare providers were surprised and pleased by his strength and good humour. They noted that it prolonged his life long past their expectations. Don is survived by his wife of 40 years Linda, his sons Matt and Steve (wife Chelsey) and his three grandchildren - Kylee-Mae, Damien and Ryker. A Celebration of Don’s Life will be held at The Kamloops United Church on Tuesday, November 1st, 2016 at 1:00 pm. The family asks that in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.myalternatives.ca
