‘How can we work together?’ October was Tk’emlups Indian Band hoping to partner with city hall to help protect archeological sites during development in ‘high-value’Thompson River valley ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

he Tk’emlups Indian Band is looking to the City of Kamloops to help it protect archeological sites spanning thousands of years of history along the river valley. At a community-to-community forum held between the two governments this week, TIB Coun. Jeanette Jules said she’s concerned about developments in the Dallas area, which are taking place without archeological oversight from the band. Jules said the area is home to nearly 70 known architectural sites, including an historic village which could be damaged by development. The valley is also considered a “high potential” site in general, meaning it’s likely developers could turn up new archeological finds. Jules said she wants the

projects in sensitive areas. “It’s not that we want to stop people from doing things,” Jules said. “It’s that there are some areas and how

warm and wet CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

October was soggy and warm but forecasters don’t know if that’s going to be the trend over the winter. Last month, the city saw 42.4 millimetres of rain, more than double the average for the month. “It’s the sixth-wettest October on record for Kamloops,” said Environment Canada meteorologist Mat MacDonald. The federal weather agency recorded rain on 15 days during the month, up from the normal nine. “It rained a lot and often. It was a very stormy month across B.C.” The average temperature for October was 9.5 C, up one degree from the long-term average. There were two days of frost measured at Kamloops Airport, compared to the average of six. Forecasters initially believed this winter would be influenced by the La Nina phenomenon in the southern hemisphere. That typically brings cold and snowy winters in B.C. MacDonald said the signals forecasters use to declare the phenomenon have since weakened. That has clouded the outlook and made predictions about this winter’s weather more uncertain. “The indices aren’t very strong,” MacDonald said. “Last winter, all the models were in agreement it would be a record strong El Nino.” The El Nino pattern brings warm and wet weather to the Interior. The short-term forecast has temperatures remaining in what MacDonald called “balmy” zone until at least the middle of November.

Tk’emlups Indian Band Chief Fred Seymour said residents of the TIB reserve — including those in Sun Rivers — would like to be included on transit routes, but that the band isn’t capable of footing the $250,000 bill on its own.

Milobar says TIB will be on hook for service hours if it wants in on BC Transit Tk’emlups Chief Fred Seymour says bus service to reserve is back on the table ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Bus service to the Tk’emlups reserve and Sun Rivers is back on the table, chief Fred Seymour told a gathering of city and band councillors Monday. The estimated $250,000-peryear cost for transit services is still a stretch for the band, he said. “It’s doable, but not all doable through our coffers,” Seymour said during a community-tocommunity forum with the city at Sandman Centre. Seymour said demand for bus service is increasing both from

band members and from the residents’ associations in Sun Rivers. Both feel the service would make the community more desirable to seniors, students and other would-be purchasers. In 2012, the band looked at bringing eight to 12 hours of transit service per day to the reserve, along with weekend service, at a cost of about $235,000, with another $220,000 coming from BC Transit — the same funding model as the city of Kamloops. But, then-chief Shane Gottfriedson was skeptical there would be enough ridership to

make the service cost-effective. “The level of service that was required and the number of riders just doesn’t add up,” he told KTW at the time. Seymour said bringing bus service to the reserve will require some action from Sun Rivers residents as well, who will have to make the cost a higher priority over other services their payments to the band fund, such as snow removal service. “It’s a matter of them coming together and prioritizing what has to be done,” Seymour said. Should the band decide to opt in, Mayor Peter Milobar said the city is willing to let it be a part of

its contract with BC Transit. “Basically you make sure all the routes are synced together and operating at the same time and that way you have the same mechanics and the same administrative backbone, so you’re not trying to duplicate that,” he said. “In a small system that becomes a huge extra cost.” Milobar said the band would have to pay for its own service hours, and the extra administration would have minimal cost. The two councils agreed to set up further meetings to discuss the band’s possible funding sources and other next steps for the potential project.

Health line targeting waitlists goes live

The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure is increasing capacity to the off-ramp from the Trans-Canada Highway to Sahali. Minister and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said the offramp for westbound traffic is often at capacity, requiring another lane. The $1.1-million project will add a dedicated right-turn lane to the off-ramp at Summit Drive. The ministry said, once completed, motorists will have access to three lanes: one for turning left, one straight through and a right-turn lane. It is expected to be complete in spring next year.

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops residents looking for a doctor can now put their names on a waitlist that Health Minister Terry Lake said will be “actively managed” to help connect them as soon as possible. The Health Link line — dial 811 — was created as part of the ministry’s creation of two primary-care clinics on the North Shore, which Lake hopes to see staffed early next year. He said those who call will be connected with locums or general physicians who may come to town in coming weeks and months. Seniors with complex health issues will be triaged through the 811 line and connected directly to services provided by Interior Health Authority. The phone number, dedicated to Kamloops and immediate region, was announced last month as part of a new effort to improve provision of medical services in the city, where an estimated 30,000 people are without a family doctor. Recruitment has been ramped up to bring family physicians and nurse practitioners to the two clinics located at Northills Shopping Centre and at the North Shore Health Centre at 370 Tranquille Rd.

At least 10 years in prison for Shuswap killer

Jordan Larry Barnes sentenced for his role in 2011 Blind Bay murder of Nicholas Larsen TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Family members of a Shuswap man who last week admitted to his deadly role in a 2011 turf war dabbed tears from their eyes in a packed Kamloops courtroom on Tuesday as Jordan Larry Barnes was ordered to spend a decade behind

bars without parole eligibility. The 30-year-old Blind Bay man pleaded guilty last week to one count of second-degree murder in connection with the June 1, 2011, shooting death of 24-year-old Nicholas Larsen. After the sentencing, Larsen’s friends and supporters could be seen hug-

ging outside Courtroom 5C at the Kamloops Law Courts. Barnes’ guilty plea to murder brought with it an automatic life sentence, but it was up B.C. Supreme Court Justice Gregory Bowden to determine how long Barnes would spend behind bars before being eligible for parole.

Crown and defence lawyers pitched a 10-year joint submission to Bowden, which he accepted. Details of the allegation cannot be published pending the jury trial of Barnes’ co-accused, Jeremy Davis, whose three weeks in court are expected to begin early next year. Police have previously

said the slaying was drugrelated and targeted. Barnes and Davis were arrested in July 2014. Davis’ trial is expected to begin on Feb. 6, 2017. In addition to the prison term, Barnes is also banned from possessing weapons for life and ordered to submit a sample of his DNA to a national criminal database. STARTS FRIDAY,

LOCAL NEWS CITY HALL

Municipal officials look for ways to cut false-alarm costs ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

The city of Kamloops may take a page from The Boy Who Cried Wolf, as it looks to deal with false alarm calls to police. At a workshop Tuesday, councillors heard a proposal that would see Kamloops RCMP stop responding to alarm calls from houses and businesses which have had too many false positives in a calendar year. As well, police would no longer respond to non-verified residential alarm calls from residences and only respond to non-verified alarms from business between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m. Community safety and corporate services director David Duckworth said verified alarms are those where a homeowner or designated person has been contacted by the alarm company and agrees police should be called — a step many out-ofthe-box alarm systems skip. The alarms are separate from panic or hold-up buttons, which would continue to trigger an immediate police response. Duckworth said police have been dealing with about 1,200 false alarm calls a year, representing about 600 hours of lost time. Most of the commercial false alarms are coming during business hours, when employees may accidentally trigger the alarm while opening and closing up shop for the day, he said. “This alone would eliminate most of the false alarms that we get right here,” he said of the hours restrictions.

1,200 600

FALSE ALARM CALLS PER YEAR HOURS OF LOST TIME CURRENTLY:

100 FINE PER FALSE ALARM

WITH TWO WARNINGS PER YEAR

NEW PROPOSAL:

200 FINE FOR SECOND FALSE ALARM $ 400 FINE FOR THIRD FALSE ALARM

AFTER THREE FALSE ALARMS, POLICE STOP RESPONDING

Staff are also asking council to sign off on stiffer penalties for homeowners and businesses who have repeat false alarms. Currently, businesses and homeowners pay $100 per false alarm, with two warnings per year. The new proposal would see that change to a $200 fine for the second false alarm and $400 for a third. After three false alarms, police would stop responding. Several councillors raised concerns that businesses could still be broken into, even if they’ve had many false alarms in the past. Coun. Tina Lange worried thieves could use the policy to trigger multiple false alarms at businesses. “Then they would know no one ever responds and they could just go in there and clean the place out,” she said. RCMP Insp. Sunny Parmar

said police are mainly concerned with motion alarms going off inside stores whose perimeters have not been breached, which can be differentiated from cases where a window is smashed and someone has entered the property. Police are already slow to respond to unverified alarm calls, Duckworth told council, with many only getting a response after one or two hours because they are considered low priority compared to other types of crimes. Duckworth said the goal of the changes is to encourage homeowners to make sure their alarm systems are well maintained, and to use alarm services where false positives can be caught before police are called out. A full policy update will be back at council for more debate in about three months.

Teichrieb’s preliminary inquiry scheduled to start in January

Brocklehurst resident accused of beating teen into coma TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man accused of beating a teenager into a coma in June will appear before a judge in the New Year. Kristopher Teichrieb’s fourday preliminary inquiry is slated to begin on Jan. 23. Teichrieb has been in custody for more than four months. The 39-year-old was arrested in the early-morning hours of June 19. Jessie Simpson, 19, has been on life support since the incident. Simpson’s friends and fam-

ily have said he was celebrating high-school graduation with a group of friends when he was attacked. Teichrieb is facing one count each of attempted murder and assault with a weapon. The alleged assault took place near Teichrieb’s Brocklehurst home. It’s not clear whether Simpson was on Teichrieb’s property prior to the incident, but police initially said a Clifford Avenue homeowner had confronted someone in his driveway. The incident is alleged to have taken place in the area of

Clifford Avenue and Holt Street. Teichrieb, who does not have a criminal record, was denied bail following a hearing in July. He has elected to be tried by a judge and jury in B.C. Supreme Court. Preliminary inquiries are provincial-court hearings after which a judge is to determine whether there is enough evidence for a matter to proceed to trial. Teichrieb is slated to return to Kamloops provincial court on Nov. 7 for a hearing ahead of his preliminary inquiry. Simpson remains in hospital on life support.

Local legion president Craig Thompson said Kamloops residents are generous with their money come poppy time. As this 2015 KTW file photo shows, plenty of red flowers are doled out for donations each November in Kamloops.

Poppy sales resume ahead of Remembrance Day CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Demand for poppies in November can ebb and flow with world events but Clarence Schneider isn’t going to run out before Nov. 11. Several months ago, the head of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch 52’s poppy campaign ordered an even 100,000 of the symbols of sacrifice. They will adorn everything from the lapels of dresses and blazers to the jackets of children. And, of course, everyone will need to purchase at least a second one due to their penchant for falling out. “I like to start with 100,000,” Scheider said. “I’ve got lots out there.” Sales increased last year with recent shooting death of

The poppies are located at about 500 shops in the region, ranging from shopping malls to convenience stores, and will be emptied to find change as well as the odd bill ranging up to $100. Volunteers based out of the office on St. Paul Street collect money for the campaign. “Kamloops is a very generous community and always raises upwards of $40,000 in the past several years,” said local legion president Craig Thompson. “I know Canadians appreciate what vets have done for

Thompson said there is a small amount of money available to local legions for ad hoc requests. “A veteran who is down and out or needs some help comes to us and says ‘I’ve got a good job opportunity and I need a pair of work boots and a bus pass.’ “We can help him out.”

Discount airline NewLeaf began flying in and out of Kamloops in July and suspended flights to and from the city last month. Now, a company official has told KTW Kamloops air travellers should not expect to see the carrier back at Fulton Field any time soon.

NewLeaf will not return to Kamloops in 2016, company official confirms ANDREA KLASSEN

Headed to Victoria or Edmonton in December? Don’t plan on catching a NewLeaf flight. A spokeswoman for the discount airline, which launched service in Kamloops in July and suspended flights from this city at the end of October, said it will not return to Kamloops before the end of 2016.

The company, which books Boeing 737-400s that are owned and operated by Kelowna charter company Flair Airlines, had originally suggested service could resume here as early as midDecember, when it acquires three more planes. “We have been looking at having other aircraft to service Kamloops but, unfortunately, at this time we don’t have this in place for December to resume service,” said NewLeaf director of corporate commu-

nications Julie Rempel. The company has also suspended service from Regina, Victoria and Saskatoon. Rempel said the company does plan to run flights out of Kamloops again, “we just have to make sure that the routing works and we have the aircraft where they need to be.” Rempel said the company will continue to focus on service from Edmonton, Abbotsford, Hamilton and Winnipeg, where it has seen

Kamloops Airport managing director Fred Legace previously told KTW the city hasn’t been the major source of passengers for the company’s Victoria-KamloopsEdmonton route, which ran Wednesdays and Sundays. A typical flight saw 20 to 40 tickets sold in Kamloops. The planes can hold 150 passengers.

While the six have not opened family practices, they are in the community providing locum (fill-in) support for doctors who are otherwise unavailable to patients. The fact the six have decided to stay in Kamloops to begin their medical careers is encouraging, as are plans for two primary-care clinics expected to open on the North Shore next year. Another highlight is the activation this week of the 811 HealthLink line that is adding names of Kamloops residents without a family doctor to a waiting list. The idea is to slowly cross those names off the list once the patient is attached to a doctor, nurse practitioner or clinic. KTW called the 811 line this week and learned the response thus far has been heavy. Obviously, there are many Kamloops residents without a physician who want one. Health Minister Terry Lake has said the days of a doctor for every resident are gone. This admission came after the B.C. Liberals promised, during the 2013 election campaign, a doctor for every resident. That pledge should be a reminder to political parties and voters alike that promises are just that — promises — until enacted. The problem of finding enough doctors for residents of B.C. is not one that can be fixed with a few words that form a clever slogan. It is not a problem that can be solved by virtue of one’s political party affiliation. Neither the Liberals, nor the New Democrats, nor the Greens will be able to attach a doctor to every resident after the May 9, 2017, election. What can be done is making incremental steps to try to fill the yawning gap — and the recent announcements are part of that methodical approach. If you do not have a family physician, call 811 and add your name to the list. Word is there should be an update on the situation in a couple of months.

Like winter, Cheer is back

ith all apologies to those still reeling from the idea it’s November, here’s another sign of the impending arrival of snow and coloured lights — it’s Christmas Cheer time again. Yes, it seems a bit early since we’re all still finishing off leftover Halloween candy and chips but, as you start to accept the reality of impending snow, we’re hoping you’ll take a few moments to help five of the many nonprofits that make Kamloops the great city it is. We’ve already had our first donation; a woman came into the office earlier this week with a cheque in hand and we thank her. Eventually, her name — if she has given permission to use it — will be at the top of the list of donors we will thank in our editions and online. Last year, the committee overseeing the fundraiser decided sustainability was important on two fronts — firming up the infrastructure of the campaign to take it into the future and also provide ongoing support to the chosen charities. First, the committee, which includes representatives of KTW, the United Way ThompsonNicola-Cariboo and the public, went through a strategic-planning session with Deb McClelland of the Kamloops Chamber of Commerce. It was helpful, fun and brought some necessary structure to running the campaign — but the reason for this column is to remind you of the good works you can support through the Cheer fund.

LEVEL The committee picked five of the many applications last year and decided to continue support for two years. Next year, it will again be accepting applications for support. Again this year, your donations will go to help New Life Community Kamloops (formerly known as the New Life Mission), the Sensational Soups lunch program at Mt. Paul United Church, Family Tree Family Centre, the Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre and the legacy charity that doesn’t have to apply each year, the Y Women’s Emergency Shelter. The shelter has that special status to honour Gregg Drinnan, who resurrected the Cheer campaign when he was a sports reporter in Regina and brought it here when he started at the Kamloops Daily News. The funds he collected in Regina went to support the city’s women’s shelters and the Kamloops shelter was also chosen each year after Gregg came here. In coming weeks, KTW will be checking in with each organization to find out how the past year

has gone, how the money each received from the $57,245 raised in last year’s campaign helped them and what kind of services it provides. We’ll also let you know what each means to the Kamloopsians it serves. Those are the real warmfuzzy stories, the tiny moments in people’s lives that speak volumes. For example, Delores Owen, one of the fantastic women behind Sensational Soups, sent this email to me a while ago in response to a request for some feedback from clients: “This past couple of weeks there has been a survey done with homeless youth in Kamloops and one of the youth left this comment with the person who was doing this survey on our soup kitchen days: ‘This place was warm, friendly, inviting, amazing food and service. Wonderful people, comfortable atmosphere. Felt more like lunch at Grama’s, not like our situation of being homeless.’ It certainly warmed our hearts!” The process to build the Cheer fund is simple. You can come to our office at 1365B Dalhousie Dr. during office hours to donate. You can also drop donations off at the United Way office downtown at 177 Victoria St. Donations can be made online at kamloopsthisweek.com, as well, which have the added benefit — if you donate $20 or more — of getting an immediate tax receipt. Those who donate cash or cheques for that amount will get receipts early next year. The campaign runs to the end of the year. We’ll be handing out cheques in January. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

SPENDING ON AJAX REVIEW WORTH IT USE OF Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ column of Oct. 28 (‘Good Money After Bad’): The answer to your final question as to why the city has agreed to pay SLR Consulting another $200,000 to finish their review of the Ajax mine application lies within your own article and incorrect assumptions. Your conclusion that “the environmental assessment process. . . has proven to be as robust as it claimed to be” is untrue. The public comment period generated 2,500 or more comments, criticisms, corrections, inaccuracies and noted many omissions and deficiencies. The process was so flawed, independent scientists and researchers and citizens of Kamloops and area had no trouble finding errors and omissions in the 18,000 pages of mine documentation. Have you actually read through the pub-

lic feedback on the EAO web site? To look at just one issue: KGHM’s claim to be able to mitigate 90 per cent of the dust is absent of any scientific justification and is not likely to be obtained. Look at the comments from Interior Health Authority, SLR Consulting and Dr. Dowe Steyn on this matter. The air quality modeling is highly flawed. And this does not even get into the issues of increased PM2.5, the contaminants that the dust will contain, the dust from the tailings and waste piles and the huge impact on the health of people living in the area. Look at all the weaknesses that SLR discovered. That alone is worth $300,000 and more. A lot of the socalled “science” from KGHM could not be validated, as you can see in the SLR summary. Look at the pathetic attempt by KGHM to cover restoration

process as described by the B.C. Grasslands Conservation Council. Regarding the magnitude of attention given to the process: Simply put, it’s because the province is contemplating allowing a giant dirty open-pit mine to be developed right beside a big city of 90,000 people, upwind, upstream and in a dry windy area. This would be a first for Canada and maybe the world. How it ever got this far is shocking to many of us. Regarding the Community Advisory Group (CAG): This was all window dressing. The BCEAO and KGHM took up very few suggestions of the CAG and refused to supply information such as assay data. Similarly, the community consultations were a joke. There was little transparency and hard questions were not answered. BCEAO froze the process at the request of KGHM.

Is it because the price of copper is so low the mine isn’t economically feasible? Is it because KGHM is being investigated in Poland? And why should the public not be able to respond to their answers to the 2,500 comments and criticisms? All smoke and mirrors. That’s why $200,000 is worth it: Good money for a bad idea. I do agree with you that a federal panel was the correct way to go and shame on the Conservative and Liberal governments to refuse this. But the idea the “authorities have gone above and beyond on the Ajax file” is not credible. Will history show the BCEAO working group members are incompetent or have been silenced the way Dr. Peter Barss, former Interior Medical Health Officer, was when he dared to speak up?

VULGARITY BY PRO-CHOICE PROTESTORS A POOR TACTIC

RE: LETTER: DOG DESERVED BETTER:

Editor: Re: Jenn Johnson’s letter of Oct. 25 (‘Feminazi’ as harmful as other racial, religious slurs’): I recommend she drive by the intersection of Third Avenue and Columbia Street and see the signs for herself. I would like to enlighten her on a couple of them. One sign held by a woman who is usually topless reads: “If I wanted the church in my womb, I would bang a priest.” Another reads: “If abortion is murder then blow jobs are cannibalism.” Try explaining to your six-yearold son what a blow job is as you drive by. That is after you explain to your little ones about public nudity and what “banging” is. There are two daycare centres a block up on Third Avenue. And then explain how intolerant these people are of the Church. Great showing for feminism. Oh, by the way, city bylaw’s number is 250-828-3409 if you want the rude signs removed.

BE BEAR AWARE

Bear conflicts have declined as winter approaches in B.C., but there are still hot spots — including Kamloops, where bear incident reports are the highest in a decade. Bears continue to be attracted mainly by exposed garbage, fruit and other attractants. Provincewide, there were more than 3,000 calls to the B.C. Conservation Officer Service about bears in October and 20,000 since April 1. Pumpkins are another attractant. Officers are reminding people who set out Halloween pumpkins to remove them now that the festivities are over.

The city’s real estate market continued its pace of strength in October with another double-digit increase over last year. A total of 258 residential units changed hands last month, up from 202 in October last year. The numbers in October are down from September’s totals, marking a typical slowdown that usually lasts until early next year.

“We’ve had a strong year,” said Katherine Rutherford, president of Kamloops and District Real Estate Association. “This October, compared to last year, was very strong.” The sales increases over last year run counter to trends in the Lower Mainland, where imposition of a 15 per cent tax on foreign workers has dramatically slowed sales and brought the market to a standoff. Rutherford said those in the industry are uncertain where the market will head.

whether it will affect prices and sales volumes here. “We’re going to keep an eye on how it affects us going forward. It focuses on millennial and first-time buyers. Will they buy more apartments and townhouses or stay at home and save up? . . . Will it drive prices down so first-time buyer can afford them?” The median price for a single-family home in Kamloops was $405,000 in October. Listings, at 1,340, are down about 20 per cent from last year — something that typically moves prices higher.

She has heard anecdotal reports of sales scuttled in Metro Vancouver that cascaded into killing contingent deals in Kamloops. In addition to uncertainty created by the tax on foreign purchasers is the change brought in by the federal Liberal government making it more difficult for first-time buyers to qualify for a mortgage by requiring a higher, “stress-test” mortgage rate.

Stollery commits $550K for TRU nursing-school facility MLA Terry Lake praises foundation, which says it plans to give $50K now and the remainder if construction is underway by 2019 DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

With the provincial government’s commitment to a new trades building at Thompson Rivers University confirmed, the city’s two MLAs will be promoting the next capital-project goal there — a new building to house the school of nursing. It’s been a priority for TRU for some time and got a big boost this week at a TRU Foundation breakfast, where the Stollery Foundation committed $550,000 — $50,000 now and the remainder if there are shovels in the ground by 2019. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said it’s his top TRU-based priority and he plans to do “everything I can do to advocate for a new nursing building.” Stone said he’s aware of the capacity challenge the current area the program uses in a building it shares with the faculty of science

and is equally aware an increased capacity could be filled quickly with students who want to study nursing. Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake, who is also the province’s health minister, said because of the $7.03 million the government is contributing for construction of the new Industrial Training and Technology Centre at the university, he couldn’t make any promises more money would be coming for a nursing school. Lake praised the Stollery Foundation for its donation, announced at the breakfast by Stollery board members Spencer and Janet Bryson. “They’re an important part of the philanthropic community,” he said, “and this helps make the case for the project but we have to look at the capital plan” the government has for investing in projects. The Stollery Foundation supports many non-profits and com-

munity projects in Kamloops. Janet Bryson said the decision to make the commitment for a nursing building reflects its belief “in health, education and alleviation of poverty.” TRU envisions a new building that would cost $32 million to construct. It would enable the university to admit more students who would be able to use innovative technology to learn about complex medical scenarios and fine systems that enhance patient-centred care, as well as enabling the university to offer certificate programs in specialty care areas including critical, emergency, perioperative (the three phases of surgery from pre-operative to post-operative), intensive, cardiac, senior, rural and home-care nursing. TRU estimates construction of the building will result in $47 million in direct and indirect economic spinoffs and create about T:10.3125” 305 new jobs.

Officials stay mum on potential sites From A1

Jules said there have been cases where the band has had to step in to stop work taking place on sensitive archeological sites, such as 5,000-year-old fish weirs. But, it has not escalated to the level of other B.C. communities, where bands have gone to the province for stop work orders due to development on heritage sites. “The city of Kelowna, the city of Victoria, Vancouver, in all of them there had to be major things that happened before they could come and talk to the First Nations people and I don’t think we should get to that point,” she said. “I think we should sit together and say here is the thing we need to do. There are some additional costs of getting an archeological monitor on site, just to review and then having someone do an archeological assessment.” While maps of known archeological sites exist, city of Kamloops CAO David Trawin

said they are not made public due to concerns over looting. The city does have copies and advises developers when their projects are close to heritage sites. But, he said high-potential sites have been a grey area for the city. Jules said she thinks most people simply aren’t aware of the area’s archeological significance. She suggested the city look to Prince George, which is creating an archeological risk framework tool to record First Nations heritage sites in the city so they can be preserved as future developments occur. Mayor Peter Milobar said the city has already agreed to consult with the band on storm sewer projects and other public works, in case of historic value. He said he doesn’t see the request as an obstruction to local development. “They’re just saying they want to make sure people are being respectful and getting the full historical protection we can,” he said.

ABBOTSFORD — Every school in the Abbotsford district has locked all but one of its doors after a female student was stabbed to death and another was injured in what an official says was a “random act of violence.’’ School district Supt. Kevin Godden said that suggests the suspect in the attacks on Tuesday didn’t know his victims. “What I can tell you is that he is not a student of this school now.’’ The site of the stabbing, Abbotsford Senior Secondary, remained closed yesterday so police could maintain the integrity of the investigation, Godden said. Officials were expected to make a decision later in the day about when the school would reopen. Godden praised the school’s staff for their actions under a difficult situation. “What I will say was in the middle of this horrific situation, they stopped this individual, first by just yelling at him and then the staff converged on him and got him,” he said. “The knife fell from his hands and they got him to take a seat while they held him in some restraint and then provided first aid to the students, who were obviously hurt.’’ Gabriel Brandon Klein has been charged with one count of murder

and one count of aggravated assault. Police have said a barefoot man walked into the high school early Tuesday afternoon and stabbed two girls. They said it appeared he was not a student at the school and it’s not clear if he even knew the victims. There is a video circulating of the stabbing, and Godden asked those sharing it to please stop. “This video is a trigger to trauma, not only for our students and our community but for any person that has been involved in a traumatic incident.’’ Police also asked that the video not be shared further. It was taken from what appears to be the second floor looking into the school’s atrium and shows a man in a grey T-shirt standing over a girl and frantically stabbing at her as she screams on the floor. A person in an apron then approaches the man, who suddenly drops his weapon and backs away. Godden said there was nothing to stop the man from walking into the school. “Our schools are closed campuses to the extent that we keep our kids in and have lots of adult supervision,’’ he said. “But there is nothing that would preclude any stranger from walking into school.’’ He said everyone who doesn’t attend the school or work there is expected to check in at the office.

Vancouver home sales plunge nearly 40% Real estate board points to market changes THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver says home sales plunged 38.8 per cent last month compared with October 2015. The board said 2,233 properties were sold in October of this year, down from the 3,646 home sales recorded in the same month last year. Board president Dan Morrison said changing market conditions combined with a series of government interventions in the real estate market contributed to the decline. “Potential buyers are taking a wait-and-see approach to try and better understand what these changes mean for them,’’ he said in a statement yesterday. “While sales are down across

the different property types, it’s the detached market that’s seen the largest reduction in home buyer demand in recent months,’’ Morrison said. Both the B.C. and federal governments have brought in a number of measures to address soaring housing costs, particularly in Metro Vancouver. In August, the provincial government implemented a 15 per cent tax for foreign nationals buying residential property in Metro Vancouver in a bid to stabilize the area’s housing prices, which have been among the highest in North America. Last month, the composite benchmark price for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver was $919,300 — a 24.8 per cent increase compared to October 2015, but a 0.8 per drop from September of this year.

Confidence high for B.C. consumers THE CANADIAN PRESS

B.C. still has the second highest consumer B.C. News confidence index in Canada, just behind Quebec, but the province could not sidestep what the Conference Board of Canada says is the largest drop in consumer confidence since January. The Ottawa-based think tank says B.C.’s confidence index dropped 8.7 points to 114.8 last month. The national index also fell 6.3 points in October to 96.7, and every other province and region except the Atlantic region was also down. According to the survey, compared with September, more respondents said their household finances were worse than they were six months ago and they also have lower expectations about future financial conditions.

BRIEFS

B.C. teachers call for quake upgrades The B.C. Teachers’ Federation is calling on the province to fully fund needed seismic upgrades at schools to ensure the safety of students and staff. The union wants all new and existing public schools to be upgraded to acceptable standards. BCTF President Glen Hansman said for the past 15 years, repeated promises to upgrade schools to withstand quakes have been broken and multiple plans have been delayed. He said that’s left teachers, school support staff, and students in unsafe and dangerous buildings.

Port Alberni stabbing injures one man A 51-year-old Port Alberni man has been airlifted to hospital in Victoria after a stabbing. RCMP in Port Alberni said the attack happened inside a fast food restaurant on Wednesday morning when the victim was repeatedly stabbed by another man. The 25-year-old suspect fled, but was taken into custody about two hours later. Police said they are still trying to determine the motive of the attack or whether the assailant knew his victim, but because of the arrest, they say there is no further danger to the community.

Two men hurt in crash in Nanaimo RCMP say a mother and her three-month-old child escaped unharmed, but two men were hurt in a two-vehicle crash in Nanaimo. Police said weather and road conditions appear to be contributing factors to the accident at an intersection early Wednesday. Investigators have determined a full-size sedan with two men inside went through a red light and was hit broad side by an SUV driven by the woman with her infant inside. Police said the two men in the sedan were sent to hospital for treatment and were expected to be released yesterday.

Police identify body found in scrap yard Police have identified a man who was found dead in a scrap yard in Maple Ridge. The Integrated Homicide Investigations Team said police were called Tuesday when a body was found with signs of foul play. The victim is 53-year-old Maple Ridge resident Bradley Nielsen, who police say was last seen alive on Monday. They said the act appears to be targeted, but the motive is unclear.

WOODSTOCK, Ont. — A nurse accused of killing eight seniors at two long-term care homes in southwestern Ontario has had her case put over to Nov. 18 after a brief court appearance yesterday morning. Elizabeth Wettlaufer, 49, was charged last week with eight counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of elderly residents at nursing homes in Woodstock, Ont., and London, Ont. Police allege Wettlaufer used drugs to kill her victims between 2007 and 2014 while she worked at the facilities.

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

MIAMI — After a year crammed with political shocks and head-scratchers, the contenders find themselves in the final days in a most familiar swing state. That’s Florida. Donald Trump has relentlessly campaigned in the state and was embarking yesterday on his third multi-day visit in recent weeks. Hillary Clinton has also been a frequent visitor in the campaign’s closing days, spending last weekend in the Sunshine State and then returning on Tuesday. In Miami, Trump touted his rise in Florida polls before warning his supporters not to take anything for granted.

“Pretend we’re slightly behind. We don’t want to blow this,’’ Trump said, urging his backers to cast early ballots. “OK, ready? Pretend we’re down! We’re down! We’re down!’’ Trump can’t win without carrying Florida, so Clinton can deliver a knockout blow if she captures the state’s 29 electoral votes. But Democrats are increasingly concerned about black voter turnout after some early voting numbers showed a drop-off from 2012, when president Barack Obama was on the ticket. If that decline holds true, it complicates the party’s path in other states, too, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Michigan.

ing to themselves, you know, we love Barack, we especially love Michelle, so it was exciting and now we’re not excited so much,’’ Obama said on the Tom Joyner Morning Show. “I need everybody to understand that everything we’ve done is dependent on me being able to pass the baton to somebody who believes in the same things I believe in.’’ Even with national polls narrowing, Clinton has many more paths to 270 electoral votes and victory than Trump. Her campaign underscored that political reality with a stop yesterday in Arizona, a state that has voted for Republican presidential candidates all but once since 1952.

Clinton’s campaign has announced plans to campaign in Detroit and Cleveland on Friday, two cities where African-American turnout is crucial. While Obama carried Michigan by comfortable margins in both 2008 and 2012, polls have shown Clinton with a single-digit lead over Trump. Obama, meanwhile, was hosting a rally with singersongwriter James Taylor in North Carolina yesterday, the first of two visits he’s planned this week. Early voting in North Carolina shows a five percentage point drop in ballots from black voters. “I know there are a lot of people in barber shops, in beauty salons, in the neighbourhoods who are say-

Rescuers say all 33 miners trapped in Chinese coal mine found dead Explosion on Monday sent rescuers working around the clock THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIJING — All 33 coal miners trapped underground in a gas explosion earlier this week have been found dead, state media reported yesterday, as worksafety officials vowed to punish those responsible. Two miners survived Monday’s explosion but rescuers working around the clock found no others alive. All bodies have been recovered and rescuers were shown bowing their heads in memorial for the dead.

Gas explosions inside mines are often caused when a flame or electrical spark ignites gas leaking from the coal seam. Ventilation systems are supposed to prevent gas from becoming trapped. The State Administration of Work Safety ordered an investigation into the blast, “adding that those responsible must be strictly punished.’’ Officials in Chongqing also ordered smaller mines to shut down temporarily, Xinhua, China’s official press agency, said.

China’s mining industry has long been among the world’s deadliest. The head of the State Administration of Work Safety said earlier this year that struggling coal mines might be likely to overlook maintenance. China is the world’s largest producer and consumer of coal but plans to shutter more than 1,000 outdated mines as part of a broader plan to reduce overproduction. According to officials, 598 Chinese miners were killed in accidents last year.

Tipoff tomorrow will mark the official end of the Pack’s pre-season, an extended nine-game slate that involved travel to Calgary, Ottawa and Victoria and just two home contests. On Tuesday, Reeves said all the time on the road was meant to prepare a young squad for a regular season that will include stops in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Prince George, Abbotsford and Regina. “It’s going to be, can we get through the grind?” the head coach said, asked what the identity of his team would be this year. “Can we be committed oncourt, in-classroom, buying into systems, understanding scouting reports? “This is all really new to them and probably a little overwhelming. I don’t put expectations on, we have to win this, we have to win that. It’s more a matter of are we getting better every single day? Are you better now than you were last week? If we’re showing improvement, in the long haul, that’s where it’s going to pay off.” The graduation of four

seniors at the end of last season — guards Jenna Quinton, Sarah Malate and Taiysa Worsfold and forward Kassie Colonna — has contributed to the Pack’s youth, but the club that will take to the hardwood in 2016-2017 isn’t completely inexperienced. Six players are in their third year of U Sports eligibility and two others are in their fourth and fifth seasons. But it will be a new guard of players taking over the leadership of the Pack in Reeves’ 11th season on the bench. “Dynamic changes every year,” said third-year guard Michelle Bos, who finished fifth in defensive rebounds in Canada West last season. “I think this year, it has a really good team feel because we don’t necessarily have one fifth-year that everyone is looking up to. Everyone is in this together right now. Everyone is at the same level. Everyone is a team.” The 21-year-old Bos said the pre-season was a grind, but helped the group come together. Despite some of the results — Thompson Rivers lost games to the Calgary Dinos, Carleton Ravens, Queen’s Golden Gaels, Alberta Pandas and Saskatchewan Huskies, while beating the Langara Falcons, MacEwan Griffins and Concordia Stingers — she doesn’t expect there to be too many growing pains to start the season. “You never want that to happen,” she said. “I think coach has prepared us a lot. We’ve kind of already gone through a couple struggles. We lost by 30 this weekend and then the next game we lost by four to Saskatchewan, who won last year. We’ve already gone through different hurdles and learned to get back up when we get knocked down.”

the judge disagreed. He said the league must prove its assertions the players’ demands would have such a bad financial effect on the clubs some would be forced to close. Neither league responded to a request for comment. While some teams in the leagues that provide

Obituaries & In Memoriam Tom Fukami

Cris Hemingway (Anthony Crispin)

Thomas “Tom” Fukami died October 8, 2016 at his wonderful care home, Pine Grove Lodge. Tom was born in Mission City and attended school until age fifteen, when his family was evacuated to Coaldale, Alberta in 1942. Tom lived in the area for 35 years and he owned and operated his farm. Tom married at the ripe old age of 55 years. We lived in Victoria four years then moved to Kamloops. He enjoyed golf at Rivershore, curling, skiing with the Sunpeaks Antiques, volunteering for Sagebrush Theatre, Summer Games, Briars and Strauss Cup. Tom coached teenage girls as he was a Certified Coach.

Cris passed away peacefully on October 21, 2016 in the Kelowna Hospice after a long struggle with cancer. Left to mourn are his loving wife Holly and her extended family, his mother Joyce Riches, the Hemingway family and many longtime friends and acquaintances.

Tom was predeceased by his father Katsube Fukami, mother Asa Fukami, nephew Bill Fukami, nephew Rick Saito, brother “Mack” Fukami and sister Marie Saito, sister-in-law Sachiko Van Staaldine, father-in-law Lewis Orr and motherin-law Phylliss Orr.

Cris lived and worked in Kamloops, Merritt, Quesnel and many years in Salmon Arm where he raised his family.

Tom is survived by his loving wife Sylvia Fukami, step-daughters Penni Osadchuk, Arlene Graham and step-son Grant (Sharon) Symonds and brother-in-law Ray Sharp. Tom will be dearly missed by his nieces and nephews, they were such a big part of his life. Alan (Rumi) Fukami, Terry (Diane) Fukami, Sharlene (Bernie) Lyczewski, Bob (Lorraine) Matsumoto, Gerry Matsumoto, Judy (Neil) McKinnon, Arlene (Bernie) McTighe and his dear and very active 95 year old sister Chiye Matsumoto. He had thirteen great nieces and nephews plus several great-great nieces and nephews.

Moving to Lake Country, he established his Peak Home Inspection business. Cris loved the outdoors, boating, fishing and hunting with friends, flying model airplanes, sports car racing and just tinkering in the garage fixing and creating things.

Special thanks to Dr. James Howie for his compassion and caring for Tom over the years, also to the staff at Pine Grove Lodge where Tom and I were part of their wonderful family. Our family of nurses and caregivers did all they could to ease Tom’s suffering. The support of our friend Arlene Weaver was truly appreciated. Special mention goes to Maggie Milne who had been Tom’s first caregiver over the years. Maggie made many visits to look in on Tom or keep him company when I was away. Without her help life would not have been as rich for Tom. Thanks also to Penni Osadchuk, niece Lillian Blades, niece Jennifer and Devon Chinook.

Lovingly remembered by his daughter Kathie (John) Danchak, grandchildren Matthew Danchak (Kamloops), Nicole (T.J.) Williams, Kaia and Jayce (Pinantan Lake), sister Alice Langstaff (Creston), nieces Belva (Jeremy) Lang, Rhonda (Dean) Backous. Predeceased by parents John and Emily McGill, wife Kay (Kamloops), son Danny (Sicamous), half-brother Orlie McGill (Oklahoma), half-sister Reland Plumb, niece Doreen Potts (Mission) and brother-in-law Rod Langstaff (Creston). Dad was born in Veteran, AB on June 26, 1927 and journeyed with his family to Alder Flats, AB to farm. A firm believer in hard work, he later found himself in the logging industry working at sawmills and logging camps where he met and married the camp cook, Kay. Together they settled in Sicamous where dad played an active part in fighting forest fires in the Shuswap area and in reforestation programs including tree planting. He often went back to check on his ‘charges’ to see how they were growing. Fishing was also a passion with dad and he sure knew where the ‘big fish’ hung out in Shuswap Lake. We were often treated to his smoked, pickled and just plain delicious Kamloops and Grey trout. After a move to Kamloops to be closer to Kay (Overlander Extended Care), Dad loved long walks in the downtown core and clocked enough kilometres to cross Canada and back. Often he would pick up an empty bottle or two and became a regular at General Grants; first in the morning line with his lot all counted and clean.

A loving man of many parts, he will be sadly missed. A Celebration of Life will be held – please contact 604-785-9759 for more information.

There will be a Celebration of Life for Tom at the Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association, 160 Vernon Avenue on Tuesday, November 15th at 2:00 pm with Bill Thomson officiating.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to The Terry Fox Foundation or The KGH Foundation.

No Koden or flowers please. If you wish to make a donation please consider Pine Grove Lodge Resident’s Society or Kamloops Japanese Canadian Association.

A quiet, unassuming man, he liked to read the bible and loved Psalms 37:11, the promise of an earthly paradise of peace. Until we see you there Dad, love you so much! Many thanks for your awesome support Dr. Tracey Smillie. You helped us at every turn in the road. Thanks to Dr. Faddegon, Paul Palmer (KFH), staff (special thanks, Serena) and residents (puzzle-room friends, best bud, Bud T.) of Riverbend Manor. No service by request.

Leslie Muir

July 27, 1957 - October 15, 2016 Leslie Muir passed away October 15, 2016 at the age of 59. She was born July 27, 1957 to Keith and Margaret (Bubs) Brown and lived her entire life in Kamloops. Leslie reluctantly attended her early years of schooling but with her mother’s loving prodding she attended Douglas Lake, John Todd and AE Perry. Leslie graduated from Norkam Senior Secondary in 1975 and worked in Kamloops as a gas jockey, a child care worker, parts delivery girl and finally as a receptionist for Balco Industries. In 1979, at the age of 21, she married Gordon Muir. Soon after, at the age of 22, Leslie developed the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis but wasn’t fully diagnosed until 3 years later. Once diagnosed she was able to continue her employment with Balco until the winter of 1986. She lived with Gord at their Kamloops home until 2006 at which time her doctors diagnosed that her increased level of care required placement into a Long Term Care Facility. Although Leslie was faced with many physical struggles she rose above them with class and dignity. After visiting with her, people would always say they came away feeling like a better person. She was proud, determined, loving, patient and had an incredible memory. Her very quick wit and keen sense of humour provided much laughter and enjoyment for Leslie and all those around her. She loved fast cars, first her Dad’s T bird and then her own red Camaro which she reluctantly parked in 1987 when she had to rely on her wheelchair for mobility. She also loved and adored her dogs Bimbo, Tasha and Chelsea. Leslie never let her mobility slow her down from enjoying the things she

wanted to do. Travelling to the sun and sand were highlights of her life and she often spoke about the trips she took with Gord, her parents, cousin Brenda (Doug) and long-time friends Garry and Mary. They travelled to Hawaii, Florida, Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta as well as the Yukon and Alaska where she could put her feet in the ocean and sip her favorite Appleton’s rum. She loved clothes and shopping and would embrace any opportunity to visit the mall and her favorite clothing stores. And of course there was Christmas and getting her picture taken with Santa and family members was always on the top priority list of things to do. Les also really enjoyed Blazer’s hockey which she attended for many years and developed a special ‘in’ with the mascot Digger. The Dreamweaver’s are a close group of individuals who also have MS. Leslie was a proud member of this group and together with family and friends participated in the annual Kamloops MS walk to help raise money and awareness. Leslie touched many lives and will be remembered with love and missed everyday. She is survived by her husband Gord, father Keith Brown, big brother Jim (Sally) Brown and older sister Kathie (Tom) Dunn. She also leaves to mourn her nephews Sean and Kevin, nieces Lindsay (Ryan), Allison and many favorite cousins, friends and caregivers. She was predeceased by her Mum in 2014. The family wishes to express their sincere gratitude to the many care aids and staff from Home Support Services, Ponderosa and The Hamlets. We would like to extend a special thank you to the The Gemstone Care Center for their outstanding support and careful attendance in all aspects of Leslie’s physical care and emotional wellbeing. A Memorial Service will be held at Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Drive on Sunday, November 6, 2016 at 1:00 PM. Following the Memorial, and at Leslie’s insistence, there will be a joyful Celebration of Life at the Brock Activity Center at 2:00 pm, 1800 Tranquille Rd. (located in Brock Shopping Center). In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the Kamloops Chapter of the MS Society in Leslie’s name. Condolences may be sent to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

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. 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.

Obituaries & In Memoriam MARIE ROSS (ROSITCH)

July 10, 1918 – October 26, 2016 Aunty Marie passed away peacefully at Pine Grove Care Centre, Kamloops at the age of 98. Born in Marysburg, Sask., she was the 4th of 14 children born to Frank and Barbara Rositch. She was raised on the farm, attended school to grade 8, worked at home and homes of others in the area before venturing out to Kamloops in the late ‘30s. She worked in retail and in Vancouver prior to obtaining her Practical Nursing Diploma through the Vancouver Vocational Institute in 1956. She spent a number of years working in hospitals in the Lower Mainland and coastal areas of BC before moving to Orange, California where she worked for many years at Children’s Hospital. Her skilled caregiving and love for her young patients was much appreciated by their families. After retiring, Marie relocated to the Wenatchee, Wash. area, then back to Kamloops, on to Penticton for awhile, and finally settled in Kamloops remaining here until her passing. A fiercely independent woman, she mastered the public transportation system wherever she lived, never owned a vehicle or had a driver’s license, walked when buses weren’t available and managed to get wherever she wanted to go. She was a skilled seamstress, loved swimming, travelling and exploring, especially in California, and enjoyed her trips to Hawaii immensely. Many of us recall trips to visit Aunty Marie in Orange and the great adventures going with her to Disneyland, Knott’s Berry Farm, the desert and so many interesting places thereabouts. Marie changed her surname from Rositch to Ross in 1958. She never married and had no children, but she had her very large extended family, and was always part of family events and occasions until it became physically impossible for her to participate anymore. Much as she did not want to be the last of her siblings to pass, she outlived them all by more than 10 years. She accepted this in her quiet way, but we know how much she missed them all. Therefore, we joyously celebrate her passing in the sure knowledge she is where she longed to be – in heaven with all those who were waiting for her with open arms.

Edna May Arnold

She is predeceased by her parents Frank and Barbara, and her brothers and sisters: Frank, Mike, Ernie (Norma), Fred (Hedy), Cee (Bert Gieselman), Tony, Laura, Jerry, Martha, Delores (Richard Petersen), George (Rose), Grace, and Elaine (Terry McDonnell), as well as six nephews, one niece and two great-nephews. She is survived by her sister-in-law Eileen (Tony Rositch d.), her cousin Caroline Haight, and many nieces and nephews, to the 3rd and 4th generations. We will miss her, none more so than her niece Regena Cameron. The Prayer Service will be held at 7:00 p.m. on Sunday, November 6 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, and Mass of Christian Burial will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, November 7 at the Church, Fr. Paul Simms officiating. Interment will be at the Hillside Cemetery. We extend our sincere thank you to all the wonderful staff at Pine Grove – you are loving, caring angels and Aunty Marie was so blessed and grateful for your kindness to her during these past 15 months. We also thank all the staff of Chartwell (Renaissance) where Marie lived for 9 years before Pine Grove. You, too, showed her such love and she had a good life there. A very special thank you to Dr. Mavis Hollman for all you did for and on behalf of Aunty Marie. We consider you to be one of our family. Donations can be made in Aunty Marie’s name to Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, St. Ann’s Academy or The Canadian Diabetes Association. Flowers gratefully declined. Condolences may be expressed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Edna May Arnold (nee Johnson) born in North Derbyshire, England on January 23, 1911 and passed away peacefully on October 28, 2016 at Pine Grove Care Centre. Edna lived a life full to the brim with family and friends. She was predeceased by her husband Frederick Arnold in 1996, daughter Grace Arundel in 2007, and son John Arnold in 2008. She is survived by her son Rodney (Della) Arnold; 10 grandchildren: Bruce (Shelley) Arundel; Earl (Karen) Arundel; Rosemary Saint Michaels; Sheila (John) Sutton; Ian Arnold; Michael (Caroline)Arnold; Andrea (Dylan) Chadsey; Janine (Maurico) Arnold/Fernandez; Derek (Michelle) Arnold and Kimberly (Dennis) England; 20 great-grandchildren, and 7 great-great-grandchildren. Edna loved her music and school and was always at the top of her class. She left Burton and went to college in Victoria (normal school) where she studied to become a teacher. But when she graduated, at the height of the Depression, there were no teaching jobs, so she took a job caring for the children of a Russian family. It was at that time she learned to play cards and drink homemade beer. She and friends would get-together on warm summer nights and visit, play cards and enjoy the coolness of the beer that was stored deep in the cellar. She married Fred Arnold, a hard working man that she knew growing up. They started their family in the Kootenays on the Arrow Lakes. They moved to Lumby where the family continued to grow; and by the late 40’s were living in a shack on Mission Flats Rd. Fred built the family home on Mission Flats Rd above the railroad crossing and there, together, raised their family. As the family expanded over the years; they were joined for many family celebrations with returning children and growing grandchildren. Grandma always said that her family was her most important life accomplishment and that she was very proud of all of them. She has been an inspiring woman all her life. She maintained that pioneering spirit and cheerfulness in the face of adversity. She was clever, funny and great company. She saw with an open heart and viewed each day with a positive attitude. She was always gracious and thankful for all that life offered her. A life well lived. A Celebration of Edna’s life will be held on Saturday, November 5, 2016 at 2:00 pm in St. George’s Anglican Church, 308 Royal Avenue with O’Della Grundy officiating.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Gerald (Jerry) Dennis Biollo

Tony Nigro

With heavy hearts we announce the passing of Tony Nigro on October 30, 2016, a life well lived at the age of 92. Tony is survived by his wife Aurora, his son Charlie, daughter Rose (Frank) and his two grandsons Maurizio and Antonio Saccomanno. He also leaves behind his nieces Teresina Petretti, Rose Rende, Franca Crasti, his sister-in-law, Maria Sicoli and many cousins, relatives, friends and longtime acquaintances. Tony was predeceased by his father and mother Pasquale and Rosina, his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Fiore and Luisa Sicoli, his sister Sarina Cuzzetto and his niece Marisa Malakoff. Tony was born in Grimaldi, Cosenza, Italy on June 1, 1924. He came to Canada in December of 1949 and worked on the railroad for a short time, but his true passion for welding soon took over. He opened up his own welding shop on Tranquille Road in 1956. Over this period of time, Tony saw the landscape of North Kamloops change, but the welding shop remained the same. To many in the Italian community, he became known simply as “Mastro” (teacher) for his creativity of all things iron. Over the last few years the “shop” was more of a meeting place than a workplace. For old friends and new, those who visited on a daily, weekly or occasional basis, it served its purpose well. Stories were told, opinions were shared and as memories grew shorter, the tales seemed to grow longer, however, everyone left as if all the world’s problems had been solved.

He will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved him and will forever remain in our hearts. Prayer Service will held at 8:30 p.m. Sunday, November 6, 2016 at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church, 635 Tranquille Road, Kamloops, BC and the Funeral Mass will be celebrated at 2:00 p.m. Monday, November 7, 2016 at the church, with the Reverend Father Paul Simms officiating. Interment will be at the Hillside Cemetery followed by refreshments in the OLPH Parish Hall. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

ERIC JAMES BROWN

It is with great sadness that the family of Eric Brown announces his peaceful passing on Monday, October 31, 2016 at Royal Inland Hospital after a brief battle with lung cancer. Eric was born in Kamloops on May 9, 1952, the 2nd of 3 children born to Andy & Barbara Brown. Eric grew up in Kamloops and continued to make it his home his entire life. Eric began working at Brown’s Repair Shop, the family business, in 1969. He proudly took ownership of the business, which has been in the family since 1922, upon his father’s retirement. Eric and his wife Shirley enjoyed camping and exploring in their motorhome, with their menagerie of animals, as well as many summers at Shuswap Lake. Eric was an avid reader! In the last few years he rediscovered his love of motorcycles and took great pleasure in riding to visit family and friends. His most recent adventures were to Gabriola Island to visit his daughter and granddaughters where he purchased a lovely property to enjoy future retirement. Eric is survived by his daughter Dianna Bonder and granddaughters Ekko and Nico Bonder. They were the absolute highlight of Eric’s life and he was extremely proud of them. He is also survived by his sister Elaine (Roger) Parkes of Kamloops, his brother Allan (Nancy) Brown of Calgary and their children Jared & Erin Brown, as well as relatives too numerous to mention. Eric was predeceased by his wife Shirley and his parents Andy and Barbara. Eric will also be dearly missed by the staff of Brown’s Repair Shop: Kim, Brenda, Tom and Mack.

In 1959, he entered St. Joseph’s Seminary in St. Albert’s, Alberta for 2 years of Philosophy and 4 years of Theology. On April 3, 1965, he was ordained a priest in his home parish of St. James, where he received his first assignment as Monsignor Miles ‘assistant.

After her passing, he lived and worked in various cities in the Okanagan. For the past 3 years, he has resided at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Shrine at Cache Creek. He loved it there, and enjoyed keeping the Shrine “up & running “. He shared his talents generously with his family and was always willing and eager to do a fix it job or a reno for them.They felt so lucky to have him in their lives.

CIBC staffer went above and beyond

Huge cheers go out to Kiley St-Amand at CIBC on Victoria Street for going above and beyond to help out a stranded young woman in Australia and her worried mom in Kelowna. You’re amazing. — Jennifer Lochhead, Lake Country

Thanks for returning parcel

DAVE EAGLES/KTW

I’d like to show there are decent, honest people in this city. Like many folks, we struggled to use up our Air Miles before they expired, so we ordered an expensive item. We waited for it to arrive but no luck. Then, a young man rang our doorbell with our parcel. Canpar delivered it to his house and, despite his efforts to get them to retrieve it, they never came back so he brought it to our house himself. He could have kept it and we would be none the wiser, but he did the honest thing. Kudos to him and boo hiss to Canpar and Air Miles.

IMMERSED EN FRANÇAIS

KTW’S DALE BASS VISITED LLOYD GEORGE ELEMENTARY TO GET A FIRST-HAND GLIMPSE AT FRENCH IMMERSION EDUCATION IN KAMLOOPS

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

ndrea Dwyer isn’t sure why her parents enrolled her in French immersion when she started school in Williams Lake. She suspects it was likely because they wanted to give her the best opportunity at life. Dwyer knows why she’s enrolled her own child at Lloyd George elementary, where she teaches Grade 5 — learning in French not only gave her a better opportunity at finding a job but it helped her simply learn. “I think it helps you focus

on learning in different ways,” Dwyer said. “It forced me to think about it, to think about learning differently.” With her daughter just starting her formal education, she’ll come home having learned a new word and she’ll try it out with her parents, working on what is essentially her new and engaging discovery that is fun to share. Canadian Parents for French promotes immersion, saying the program produces students with better listening and comprehension skills,

better able to communicate and express themselves and, by learning about another culture, learn to be respectful of differences. Dwyer said she had not planned to become a teacher in the system she learned in but, once she opted to go into education, realized being fluent in French would help her find a job. She said she finds most students can have fluent conversations in French usually by the time they are in the grade she now teaches, having built up a substantial vocabulary of words new toHOW them and learned all the grammatiIT cal rules. On the day KTW visited her WORKS classroom, only French was heard during the instructional

Accolades to Cascades, RIH, Holiday Inn

Accolades, kudos and many thanks to the casino, hospital and Holiday Inn. On Oct. 8, my husband Julio Kelly and myself arrived in Kamloops at 4:30 p.m. from Penticton to meet friends at the Holiday Inn Express. By 5 p.m., we were in the casino and, at about 6 p.m., my husband had a medical emergency. Casino security personnel were there in a flash and helped him in a professional and caring manner until paramedics arrived. At the hospital, staff were fabulous — especially Dr. Mark Langford, who didn’t give up until he diagnosed Julio’s problem. He was admitted and I stayed at the hotel four nights, instead of the intended one. Casino staff put the shuttle at my disposal for trips back and forth the Saturday night and followed up on Julio’s status. Hotel staff were also amazing. A big thanks to all. And, yes, we will return to Kamloops.

part. But, once it was snack time and then recess, students could be heard moving seamlessly in their conversations with each other between the two languages.

SD73 to look at continued increased interest in French immersion education DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

hen the new school year began, 20 students were on a wait list to start kindergarten at Lloyd George elementary — enough to create another class. It’s indicative of the growing interest in French immersion as a way of learning, a reality not just in Kamloops but across the province. Alan Blais, principal at the singletrack French immersion school on Pine Street, said the school couldn’t accommodate a second kindergarten class so those families were referred to the other single-track French immersion school in the city at South Sahali elementary on Summit Drive. The growing interest in students learning in the country’s second official language comes as enrolment in general has

Wait list this year at Lloyd George part of growing interest across the province been decreasing. The B.C. and Yukon division of Canadian Parents for French (CPF) reports in the past 18 years enrolment has been increasing, with 52,545 enrolled in it in the province last year, 9.5 per cent of B.C.’s entire student body. School District 73 assistant superintendent Rob Schoen said he’ll be looking at the growing interest in French immersion soon. It’s an issue that has been discussed by SD73 administrators and trustees for some time as they debate creating a single-track French immersion elementary on the North Shore. In 2014, 26 of the kindergarten students at the two South Shore schools came from the North Shore, he said, and he thinks it might be possible to open a third for those on that side of the river. Challenges include identifying a suit-

able school “and then there’s the Field of Dreams question — if we build it, will they come?” Calling it a great program, Schoen said he sees it “akin to enrichment for free” that provides great options for students. CPF president Patti Holm, a retired Kamloops teacher, said “French immersion is a well-tested and wellestablished program delivery model. “In fact, this madein-Canada program has been studied and replicated around the world, largely to preserve and protect native or minority languages. “French immersion is designed to help students become functionally bilingual by the time they graduate. It’s a powerful tool in your toolbox and graduates can use it in many different ways.” Stats Canada reports Canadians who speak both official languages earn

on average 10 per cent more and have a lower unemployment rate compared to those who only speak English. Researchers have also determined French immersion leads to stronger listening skills, improved focus and concentration, increased ability to understand complex problems and higher tolerance and insight of other cultures. Blais said he’s also seen those who study in French develop stronger skills with English as well. Students learn only in French from kindergarten to Grade 2 and, in Grade 3, English is added to their curriculum. He said French is a more structured language than English and students will learn important grammar rules that can help them with English, including the definitions and correct use of verbs, nouns, pronouns and plurals.

Refreshed Rogue loads up with technology, safety features WADE OZEROFF

DRIVEWAY CANADA

GREENSBORO, GA — The Nissan Rogue returns for the upcoming model year with updates and improvements all around, bringing a lifted face and reworked fascia to Nissan’s top-selling compact crossover ute for 2017. Sporting the latest update to the frontend brand-identity unification effort (the so-named V-Motion grille we are seeing on Nissan’s entire lineup) the Rogue maintains distinctiveness in a segment increasingly crowded with highlevel competitors. It’s a good look, I must say — simultaneously recognizable and upscale and an improvement over the unremarkable grid of past models — between the restyled headlamps. The Nissan Rogue, following three straight years of sales growth since the introduction of the completely redesigned second generation for the 2014 model year, takes another major step forward for 2017 with a new look, enhanced utility and an expanded suite of Nissan Safety Shield technologies. Nissan’s efforts

The interior of the 2017 Nissan Rogue has better ergonomics, complete with a cascading dash and centre console allowing freer range of motion in the front seats.

on the body, from new-look bumper to new-look bumper, are about improving flow — both in the design sense of causing the eye to follow the lowered lines along the car and also for improved airflow over the Rogue for lessened wind noise and resistance. In fact, Nissan claims an eight per cent reduction in wind noise on the 2017 Rogue and similar reduction in road and mechanical sound intrusion in the cabin. There haven’t been any powertrain changes for the 2017 model — the Rogue still runs on a 2.5-litre four-cyl-

inder gasoline engine (170 h.p., 175 lb.-ft. of torque; which is slightly less horsey than its major competitors, Honda’s CR-V and the RAV4 from Toyota, but only slightly.) Incidentally, there is a hybrid version of the vehicle, but it won’t be coming to Canada — at least not in the immediate future, according to Nissan. Externally, you won’t mistake the 2017 Rogue for anything else. It is still the shape that helped it become Nissan’s bestselling utility vehicle and the interior remains familiar, albeit with upgrades and

better ergonomics. The dash and centre console are more cascading to provide a freer range of motion for front-seat passengers (and less opportunities to bang a knee on it when entering the car). Third-row seating is available for the 2017 models (beginning with the SV trim level and allowing for up to seven passengers) and a cargo management system is available — Nissan calls theirs Divide N Hide, a multiway configurable divider for the rear space. A new suite of convenience-and-safety tech also becomes available for the Rogue as well, from more well-known systems (blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warning, rear cross traffic alerts) to first, for Nissan vehicles: radar-activated forward emergency braking, specifically designed to detect pedestrians. Intelligent cruise control and remote start are getting to be fairly common across the compact ute segment, as is the availability of a heated steering wheel (and seats, of course). Rogue joins a couple competitors in adding a motionactivated liftgate.

The feature allows you to open the rear hatch by sweeping your foot under the rear bumper. The 2017 Rogue breaks down into four trim levels and two major option groups (the family and technology packages, which group together the most desirable add-ons), starting with the base S trim and walking up through SV, platinum and finally the platinum reserve interior (PRI) package. PRI models are the most luxurious of the bunch, with distinctive quilted inserts and custom piping on the high-quality tan leather upholstery. It looks good and imparts an unquestionably uptown air to the interior. The PRI trim’s seats have more padding, which I find actually changes the shape of them (and also impacts the amount of support I feel from the adjustable lumbar support). Now, I’ll grant you, I am sort of a strangely shaped individual with more upper body than legs, proportionately (kind of like a ferret or maybe a salamander). But if you find yourself test driving the 2017 Rogue when they come to dealers in late fall, sit in one of these and also a regular platinum model and see what you think. Highlights of the Rogue line in general remain much as they have been for the last couple of years — if you like the driving and handling characteristics of previous years, you will like the latest one. Lowlights likewise remain primarily the lack of headroom in the second row, at least for me. Pricing is still being worked out for Canada, but expect the perennial Nissan favourite to continue comparing favourably with the big names in its class.

Spice up basic brownies KATIE WORKMAN

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

decided to take my favourite brownie recipe, the one I published in The Mom 100 Cookbook a handful of years ago, and turn it into something that says, “Hi, pumpkin season, how’ve you been?’’ The bottom layer is a fudgy brownie, dense and with a serious hit of chocolate. The top layer is a creamy pumpkin cheesecake, scented with fall spices. Then a bit of the brownie mixture (which you will reserve) is dolloped on top and swirled into the cheesecake mixture for a beautiful, brown and pale orange marbled effect. These brownies are thick, rich and the kind of dessert where you end up feeling pretty pleased with yourself. It’s a dessert to impress, with no fancy baking techniques required. You can store them at room temperature in a tightly sealed container for a day or in the fridge for several days. Let them sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature before serving. — Canadian Press

PUMPKIN CREAM CHEESE BROWNIES

Navigating wine terms in public

For the brownies: 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter 3 ounces unsweetened chocolate 1/2 cup cocoa powder 2 1/2 cups sugar 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1 tbsp. vanilla extract 3 large eggs 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour For the pumpkin cheesecake: 2 (8-ounce) packages cream cheese, at room temperature 3/4 cup sugar 1 tsp. ground cinnamon 1/2 tsp. ground ginger 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. ground cloves 2 large eggs 1 cup pureed canned pumpkin (not pumpkin pie filling) 1/3 cup heavy cream 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract Preheat oven to 350 F. Generously butter or spray a nine-by-13-inch baking pan with non-stick spray. Make brownie batter: Melt butter and chocolate in medium-sized pot over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and stir in cocoa powder, sugar and salt. Blend in vanilla. Beat in eggs one at a time, stirring quickly so they don’t have a chance to cook at all before they are blended. Blend in the flour. Scrape about 3/4 of the thick batter into the prepared pan and smooth top with a spatula. Set pan and remaining brownie batter (about one cup) aside. Make pumpkin cheesecake batter: In a large bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar with electric mixer until smooth. Add cinnamon, ginger, salt and cloves and beat, scraping down sides, until well combined. Beat in eggs, one at a time, and beat in pumpkin, cream and vanilla until smooth. Spread pumpkin batter over brownie batter in the pan and use a tablespoon to dollop remaining batter over the top in spots. Use a dull knife to swirl mixtures together on top, making sure to leave it streaky and not blend too much. Bake 40 to 45 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the middle of comes out clean. Allow to cool completely in the pan set on a wire rack. Cut into 24 squares.

othing makes you feel like a dummy like not being able to pronounce something. I’m not talking about ‘amblience’ or ‘pasgetti’ here. I’m talking about the words you see and read, but then can’t quite get around your tongue and through your lips like an educated adult. The wine world is full of those words. Well, I am here to help you out, my friends. Here are a few of the wine world’s craziest words and your path to navigating them in public: • Gewürztraminer: This is a white wine that originated in Germany. It is a ridiculous name but you can pronounce it ‘ga-vertz’ or ‘gwertz’ and totally get away with it. Or, if you are ordering, ask for the German white. Unless they also have a Riesling, then I recommend a pinot gris (peeno gree) or a beer. In a few glasses or so, give it a second try. It’s easier to say later in the night. • Sommelier: This is a guy or gal who can suck all the fun out of wine with their superpowers of wine knowledge. They are also great at giving advice on

BONNIE MCBRIDE

Sips in

THE CITY what wines you may or may not like based on a few answers from you. A sommelier (sew-mol-ee-ay) has an extensive education in all things wine. He or she probably doesn’t need this chart. • Marechal Foch: This one looks easy but it can lead to trouble. I have heard it both ways, with a soft ending and a tail end that gets you raised eyebrows and an elbow to the ribs. Most people drop the marechel and just ask for a foch. For the sake of your rib cage, just ask for the ‘fowsh’. This is a french red that is usually quite dry and heavy. It may also be better later in the night when pronouncing it whichever way will add to the fun of the evening. • Nk’Mip: Don’t avoid these wines in a restaurant because you can’t pronounce the name of the winery. Just ask for ‘in-Kameep’ wine. Named for the

First Nations Band that owns this winery, Nk’Mip (meaning bottomland) is named for the Osoyoos valley where the winery is located. They make great wine so don’t be intimidated when you face the menu. • Sauvignon: This beauty will pop up in both the red and white column as a Sauvignon blanc or a Cabernet Sauvignon. Being proud, bilingual Canadians, most of us can probably muddle through it. But, if you like, it is totally acceptable to just ask for the ‘Sav Blanc’ or the ‘Cab Sav’. It’s like you are on a first-name basis with the bottle. So, there you have it — your quick guide to a few top tonguestumblers on the wine menu. Don’t fear. I recently read an inspirational quote on Pinterest reminding me if someone mispronounces a word, it means they learned it by reading. I agree. Don’t be afraid to ask for a wine you can’t pronounce — it means you are trying new things. For a link to a great video with many wine phrases, check out my blog. Bonnie McBride is a wine blogger.
