Suspect, vehicle targeted TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

DAVE EAGLES/KTW Kamloops Mounties were at a home in Dufferin yesterday, where a black Jeep was behind police tape. The vehicle matches the description of a vehicle of interest in connection to Friday’s hit-and-run death of 16-year-old Jennifer Gatey in Aberdeen.

Police have identified a suspect in Friday’s hit-and-run crash that left a Kamloops teenager dead on a residential street in Aberdeen, KTW has learned. The suspect did not turn himself in to police. Mounties spent much of the day on Sunday and yesterday morning at a home in Dufferin, where a black two-door Jeep could be seen sitting on the driveway with a blue tarp over its hood. Investigators had previously released surveillance video showing a similar vehicle in the area of Pacific Way and Abbeyglen Way near the time 16-year-old Jennifer Gatey was struck and killed. Gatey died at the scene after being struck by a vehicle less than 100 feet from her Aberdeen home while walking to a bus stop on Pacific Way. The fatal collision took place just before 6:45 p.m. on Friday. The suspect is expected to be arrested at some point. He was in contact with police yesterday, but had not been taken into custody as of KTW press time. A neighbour who lives next door to the home where the tarped Jeep sat in the driveway on Monday said the vehicle belongs to her neighbour. “He’s a nice guy,” she said. “He broke his hip and he’s been on medication. He’s young, probably in his early 40s.” See JEEP, A5

When Cameron Gatey saw two Kamloops RCMP officers outside his Aberdeen home, he hoped they were there to say his 16-year-old daughter, Jennifer, had been caught shoplifting. “That wasn’t the type of girl she was, but that’s what you hope for in that scenario,” he told KTW. “It’s the best-case scenario.” The Mounties were there to inform the Gateys that Jennifer had been killed. She died just after 6:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 4, after being struck by a vehicle on Pacific Way, less than 100 feet from her family home. The driver did not stop at the scene.

“We weren’t aware of anything until the police knocked on our door,” Gatey said. “It’s the scenario I think every parent dreads, is the police knocking on your door when you have a teenager. “The thing that goes through your head is, ‘This is not good.’ They said, ‘She’s been hit by a car and she is dead.’ The words ‘she is dead’ hit you like a ton of bricks — the finality of it.” The Gateys have lived in their Aberdeen home for more than a decade. It backs onto Pacific Way near Abbeyglen Way. A gate in their back fence and a bus stop across the street made it easy for Jennifer to come and go, to and from school and the gym.

“Friday was a day like any other,” Gatey told KTW as he sat in his backyard. “I’ve been battling this cold, so I left work a couple hours early. I came home and sat out here — right here. Just before 4 p.m., Gatey exchanged a series of text messages with Jennifer, trying to decide what the family would do the next day to celebrate her 17th birthday. “It was, ‘What if I wanted pizza for dinner?’” Gatey said, holding his phone in his hands. “The last text says, ‘It’s your day. Whatever you want.’” A few minutes later, Jennifer walked through the gate and chatted with her father a bit more about her birthday. She then had a bite to eat, Gatey said, grabbed her gym bag and set off out the back door to catch a bus to the Tournament Capital Centre. “That would have been when it happened,” he said. “There were no sirens coming up here. I’m sure if there were sirens, we would have heard them. That’s one of the heartbreaking things, to know that she was lying out there for an hour or two hours while the police were doing their thing.” Police have said they were called to the area at about 6:45 p.m. for a report of a pedestrian struck. Mounties are searching for the driver of a darkcoloured Jeep-type investigators have labelled a “vehicle of interest.” Gatey said the fact the driver did not stop is making it harder for his family to grieve the loss of Jennifer. “That’s one of the things that makes a world of difference,” he said. “I understand that accidents can happen, but it would have made a world of difference to me if I’d known that the person who hit her stopped. They didn’t do that. They drove on. “I spoke to the coroner and they said it was instant. Her head hit the sidewalk and the trauma was such that she would have died no matter what. But that doesn’t excuse the fact that they drove on.” In speaking about his daughter, who was in

Grade 11 at South Kamloops secondary, Gatey’s speech flowed back and forth between past and present tense. He said he wants to tell Jennifer’s story so she is remembered. “She was shy, or shier,” he said. “She wasn’t the outgoing life-of-the-party person that was making things happen, but she was fun-loving.” Gatey said his daughter enjoyed playing piano and guitar and longboarding and skiing. On Father’s Day this year, he said, she got back into golf — a game Gatey said brought them closer together. “I got to spend a lot of quality time with her out on the golf course,” he said. “And, boy, she could hit a ball.” In the days since Jennifer was killed, Gatey said it’s been a blessing and a curse to live so close to the scene of her death. “I’d say there are two ends of the spectrum,” he said. “One is, because there’s so much raw emotion, it’s been cathartic to open the back gate, walk over there and, I’ll admit it, have a good cry. “The other, it’s almost Pavlovian. We’d hear the bus stop, we’d hear her come in the back door, she’d be home for the evening. If she didn’t get off that bus, that’s when I’d send her a text. One of the challenges is hearing that sound, the bus, all the time. “Another aspect is having her killed, essentially in the backyard. We’re seriously thinking about moving from this house.” Friends and family held a vigil on Saturday at the scene of Jennifer’s death. Gatey called it a moving experience. “The reaction of our friends and neighbours and family to the news has been what you’d expect,” he said. “But what I saw last night, it was just something on a whole other level. “The place that I arrived at is Kamloops is really a good place — the people that live here. That really revealed that the people in Kamloops are amazing.”

SALESPERSON OF THE MONTH

OCTOBER 2016

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW Marking from RCMP investigators remain on Pacific Way just above Pacific elementary. A 16-year-old South Kamloops secondary student died after being struck by a vehicle on Friday, Nov. 4, at about 6:45 p.m.

School memorial for Jennifer DALE BASS

STAFF REPORTER

dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Counsellors’ doors are open and there has been a memorial set up just inside South Kamloops secondary for Jennifer Gatey, the Grade 11 student killed by a hit-and-run driver on Friday. Students and staff have placed candles, balloons and stuffies in front of Jennifer’s locker, while a glass case is being used to house letters and flowers placed there in her memory. Alison Sidow, superintendent for School District 73, said staff are giving students

the space they need to work through the emotions stemming from the girl’s death one day before her 17th birthday. It has affected how the school is operating this week, with teachers aware students may need to sit quietly or access some support. The art department cancelled its reception for this year’s calendar of works created, a fundraiser that was supposed to begin last night. Sidow said there’s nothing specifically happening at the school other than the memorial and the understanding that

Jeep was parked much of weekend From A1

The neighbour said it was surprising to see police tape around the house next to hers. She said the Jeep had been parked on the driveway for much of the weekend, but could not recall if it had damage to its front end. “It was there the whole time,” she said. “We didn’t think much of it.” She said the tarp was placed on the vehicle yesterday. Another neighbour, Alexander Zachary, said he was not expecting to see police while out walking his dog yesterday morning. “It’s a nice, quiet neighbourhood,” he said. “It’s good people. I never would have thought it would be in our neighbourhood.” KTW will not name the suspect unless charges are laid.

“

We’ll move through it, but we won’t forget Jennifer.

”

— ALISON SIDOW, SD73 superintendent

things aren’t going to be normal for a while. She said teachers are trying to model a calm, open environment, but noted they, too, are grieving.

Sidow said she expects the situation to continue through the week, adding teachers will also try to maintain some structure “because that’s what the students also need.” Sidow, who spoke with KTW just after spending some time at the school, praised the staff and students and how they are handling the girl’s death. “It’s just a tragedy,” she said. “We’ll move through it, but we won’t forget Jennifer.”

Gun owners were given October to turn in, no questions asked CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Gun owners responded to what RCMP called a gun amnesty by turning in more than two dozen firearms to the local detachment. Kamloops RCMP wrapped up the program earlier this week. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said five handguns were turned in, along with 27 rifles and shotguns, five

pellet guns and five boxes of ammunition. Police said the program was a way to remove firearms from the community and ensure they would not end up on the street. Previous gun amnesty programs in 2006 and 2013 yielded more than 5,000 firearms provincewide, including 900 handguns and two machine guns.

ty” for guns that are not illegal, advertised a competing service by offering to buy firearms. “I’m a gun owner, not a criminal,” he said. “I’ve done nothing wrong. I don’t need an amnesty.” He acknowledged he cannot purchase a firearm from someone without a firearms licence. Anderson estimated his pitch to compete with the RCMP program brought in about five handguns and 20 long guns.

MOVING ON FROM OBAMA YEARS

oday is E-Day in the United States. For many Americans living in Canada, it represents the chance to cast a ballot that will shape the future of their country and, by extension, the world. For many Canadians who have watched the campaign unfold with gruesome fascination, today marks the beginning of the end of a political battle that bested anything Saturday Night Live and other satirical shows could have possibly created. As of KTW press deadline late yesterday afternoon, the BBC crunched the data from five recent national polls and found Democrat Hillary Clinton had a 48 per cent to 44 per cent lead over Republican Donald Trump. The remaining percentages are assigned to third-party candidates, notably Libertarian Gary Johnson and Jill Stein of the Greens. Knowing how unreliable polls have been in recent years (recall the last elections in B.C. and Alberta), and recognizing how many times Trump has been written off, only to surge forward once again, polling numbers should be taken with more than a few grains of salt. One of the larger questions being asked as election day arrives is what Trump and his followers may do if Clinton is declared winner and the next president of the United States of America. Will he surprise us all, offer a gracious concession speech, wish Clinton well and urge his supporters to support their new president? Or will he, as some fear, claim the process was rigged, thereby inciting some of his more rabid followers to protest — or worse? One cannot help but reflect on the Canadian campaign of a year ago and contrast it to the mess below the 49th and offer thanks for a comparably sane situation in which we live. Good luck to all candidates for president and good luck to our American cousins as they transition forward from the Obama years.

Ajax, Hillary, Donald, champagne, bad whisky and best interests

few days ago, amid my obsessing and agonizing over the U.S. election, I received a few emails from supporters of the Ajax mine proposal. “Arjun Singh”, one began, “it appears you are fence-sitting again re: decisions.” The email went on to make what I consider important and reasonable arguments. Then, this line: “If you think we can thrive on clean industry alone, like tourism, you have your head in the sand.” How does calling out someone who you don’t personally know for “fence-sitting” or having their “head in the sand” convince them you may be right? My initial, and often foundational assumption, is that we are all trying to do our best by our own individual values and opinions. Think the best of people and often they will think the best of you. I have found these assumptions to be powerful and effective. In this spirit, I know the author of the email wanted to powerfully get points across. It’s not the first time I’ve been called a fence-sitter. Calling me a fence-sitter is one activity that sometimes seems to bridge the divides on Ajax in our community. I just want to share how that comes across on the receiving end — to me and, I imagine, to many elected officials. It’s simply harder to consider the substantive points thoughtfully when you start thinking defensively. • Shifting to my obsession and

CITY HALL agony over goings-on down south, today is the big day. I’ll admit I have had a very hard time thinking the best about Donald Trump. I am one of the thousands, perhaps millions, who have lost bets predicting he would never get this close to the most powerful office in the world. I feel strongly that Hillary Clinton is a much better candidate. I am torn between two strong competing and very different arguments as to why. And if you promise not to call me a f**** s*****, I am happy to elaborate. Many argue Clinton is the best choice of two bad options. Surveys have shown Trump and Clinton to be the two most unpopular major party presidential nominees in history. Others argue Clinton is the best qualified person ever to run. She has chosen to offer her incredible lifetime of experience and demonstrated dedication to serve when she could be simply enjoying life without the incredible scrutiny and nastiness of this campaign. I think I subscribe more to the

second argument. There is still plenty not to like about Clinton’s record. I’m hoping the U.S. media will carefully watch a new Clinton administration and hold her accountable. What if, though, you are reading this column in the first days of a Trump presidency? I know good people who have found their issues, ideas and grievances well represented by Trump. Instead of my expected mild champagne hangover, I might be nursing a bad hangover caused by bad whisky. But it is important to me the results are respected, short of any obvious widespread electoral shenanigans. As my beloved father used to say: “Democracy is the worst system except for everything else.” The email I received about Ajax ended with: “Please remember why you are on council and vote with city’s BEST interest in mind.” I try to do this every council meeting and I know all my council colleagues do, too. Still, the votes are not always unanimous. If there was unanimous agreement on BEST interests, we wouldn’t need elections and councils and agonizing presidential elections. Very best wishes for a great week!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

HEARTFELT THANKS FROM GATEY FAMILY Editor: On behalf of my family, I want to say thank you to all of our friends and neighbours in Aberdeen and throughout Kamloops who braved the cold wind on Saturday, Nov. 5, and attended the candlelight vigil for our beloved daughter, Jennifer.

Our heartbreak at her sudden and tragic death on the eve of her 17th birthday is immense, but the caring, support and love of the people in this amazing community has made dealing with it a little bit easier. Words alone cannot adequately express how much your actions mean to us, but

please know we are grateful for and appreciate all you’ve done for us during this painful time. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Cameron Gatey Kamloops

ONE’S VIEW ON AJAX PROPOSAL COMES DOWN TO TRUST Editor: Re: Christopher Foulds’ Oct. 28 column (‘Throwing good money after bad’) on Kamloops council’s decision to spend $200,000 to have SLR Consulting complete a review of KGHM’s Ajax mine application. If I am reading the column correctly, Foulds is implying the SLR review of the Ajax project should stop because other agencies and groups are already doing reviews. But council must make the best informed decision it can on the project. The SLR review was contracted as a type of objective process without potential for bias, so the city could make formal informed comments to higher levels of government. It is the city’s obligation to be fair to the proponent. It is also council’s obligation to its citizens to be as fully informed as possible when making decisions. The question about whether one supports council’s decision to spend $200,000 of taxpayer dollars to complete the SLR review can be viewed from different angles. I would vote “No” and “Yes” for different reasons.

“

It the city’s obligation is to be fair to the proponent. It is also council’s obligation to its citizens to be as fully informed as possible when making decisions.

”

The reasons I think KGHM Ajax should pay the remaining $200,000 are two-fold: 1. The lack of air modelling submitted for the new tailings pond design and its dust-generating larger beach (modelling was based on the old wet, rather than thickened tailings, design) and claims such as mitigation of dust to 90 per cent (as a couple of examples) need to be addressed fully. But work has been added for the reviewers compared to if updated tailings beach and different levels of dust-mitigation air modeling had been submitted in the first place. 2). KGHM Ajax issued a press release on March 22: “The city

contracted SLR to perform an independent review of the application. KGHM was pleased to provide $300,000 to make it happen because we are committed to having the most thorough and robust environmental assessment possible.” What has changed? I think it would be good business practice for the city to request an interim work report from SLR on what information the company has received from KGHM and what opinions they have and/or further questions. In other words, what has the $300,000 paid for?” I also think the city should again formally ask KGHM for an updated

defined timeline for its submission of final answers to the reviewers. Is more back and forth expected? I see what Foulds is saying about Coun. Dieter Dudy’s comments, but such important decision-making has to be done as fully informed as possible, not while the cake is still in the oven. It’s the city’s responsibility. Completion of the SLR review also honours the $300,000 KGHM Ajax has already spent. At this stage, if major questions are still not answered by KGHM Ajax to the satisfaction of SLR and other reviewers at the table, even that revelation will be informative in of itself — for both council and Kamloops residents. Finally, independent of the SLR review, the fact KGHM Ajax submitted an application in January including air modeling of the outdated plan — rather than of its new tailings storage-facility plan — says a lot about the process, the science used and the company. Each person must form their own opinion. For me, it comes down to trust. Dr. Jennifer Takahashi Kamloops

LOCAL NEWS MESSAGE IN A JAR

BLACK FRIDAY EVENT

Kamloops chapter of the Council of Canadians chair Anita Strong (centre), was joined by Tony Brumell (left) and Leslie Tucker as they presented a jar of water from the Thompson River to Kamloops MP Conservative MP Cathy McLeod’s constituency office on Seymour Street. The water was collected on World Rivers Day in September, with the hope McLeod will deliver it to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to bring attention to what the Council of Canadians believes is the Liberal government’s lack of attention to address the previous Stephen Harper Conservative government’s “gutting” of the Navigable Waters Protection Act.

the 21,000 homes] are in the five to 10 per cent increase range,” Held said. While modest, the increase would be the largest in at least five years. Previous years have seen values either flat or up by about five per cent. In 2011, assessment values decreased for the first time in a decade.

The official assessment notices form the basis for city property taxes. While price increases are relatively modest, the boost to sales numbers in the key period looked at by B.C. Assessment Authority were in the range of 13 per cent. Held said that growing sales number provides better data to set values.

Seven hen registrations thus far ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

If an online registry set up by the City of Kamloops is to be believed, only a handful of hens are living in Kamloops’ residential neighbourhoods. Bylaw services supervisor John Ramsay said seven households have registered their chickens since the form to do so went live on the city’s website at the end of August.

The registration form came on the heels of city council’s decision earlier this year to legalize the keeping of urban hens on lots less than an acre in size. Though registration is mandatory according to city bylaws, it’s up to hen owners to do so. Ramsay believes there are more hens in backyards across the city yet to be discovered. “A lot of this will come over time. If we get complaints and they’re not

registered, then we’ll register for them,” he said. Ramsay said the city has had plenty of calls about urban chickens since they became legal — but they’ve almost exclusively been questions about the bylaw and its requirements rather than complaints. “I think people are learning how much work is involved, because there’s a lot of work in keeping up with chickens,” he said.

A Kamloops woman who was jailed last year for scamming a senior to pay for fake breasts is facing more than a dozen new fraud-related charges. A arrest warrant was issued for Brandie Bloor in Kamloops provincial court on Monday. The 40-year-old is facing 14 charges spanning a 20-month period between July 2012 and March 2014. According to court documents, Bloor is facing six counts of fraudulent personation relating to six separate individuals, three counts of fraud, two counts each of uttering forged documents and possess-

ing identity documents and a single count of forgery. The fraud charges Bloor is facing identify Scotiabank, Dearborn Ford and an individual listed on one of the personation counts as complainants. In June 2015, a Kamloops judge sen-

The man had never met Bloor, court heard, but she used his stolen driver’s licence to obtain a loan for her breastenhancement surgery. Bloor initially denied the fraud, but police found a tattoo on her stomach that matched the description provided by the doctor who performed the surgery. She eventually pleaded guilty. Bloor is believed to be living in Alberta. The warrant issued yesterday is intended to allow police in Alberta to return her to B.C. to face the charges.

tenced Bloor to nine months in jail and ordered she repay more than $17,000 to an 83-year-old man she bilked in her bid for bigger breasts. Court heard Bloor was arrested after the man received a call from a clinic telling him he was in arrears.

Liberals prepping for 2017 election CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Fifty local Liberal delegates, including all three candidates for the Kamloops-North Thompson nomination, were at the largestever B.C. Liberal convention on the weekend — an event capped by a show of support for leader Christy Clark. “The general feeling at the convention was the party and everyone it is getting ready for the next election,” Kamloops-South Thompson incumbent Todd Stone said. “But we’re not taking anything for granted.”

Stone said the fact nearly every riding in B.C. send a full complement of delegates to the Vancouver convention, combined with the fact 42 of 48 MLAs are running again, bodes well for confidence in the premier. “Typically, you have one-third turnover,” Stone said of the number of incumbent MLAs who usually step down between elections. The convention was relatively light on policy and was focused on election-readiness. While the party is running ahead in the polls, Stone said the message to members is it will take grassroots work to get

candidates re-elected. “We’ll be ready to fight the election,” he said. “We’ll be the bestorganized, trained and prepared than ever before. We’re doing that because we’re asking for a fifth mandate.” Stone said 66 Liberals are nominated thus far out of a total of 87 ridings in B.C. — running far ahead of what he said is the NDP’s 14 candidates nominated.

Mr. Lidster was not well. The 70-year-old’s lips were blue — signs of cyanosis from inadequate oxygenation of his blood. His breath was raspy and he had a nasty cough. It wasn’t easy to speak as his breathing was so laboured. It was obvious his chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) was not under control. The challenge facing those gathered around his bedside, medical equipment nearby, was to figure out what was causing his condition and determine what they should do about it — just another day of learning for the respiratory therapy (RT) students at Thompson Rivers University. Mr. Lidster didn’t mind how long it took the students to do their tests, analyze the results, consult with each other and determine the next steps to restore easy breathing to him, since he is a high-tech mannequin controlled by computer program to simulate virtually any medical condition students might one day face at work. With test results in, X-rays done and information from Mr. Lidster obtained via computer, students Gurtej Purewal, Aman Gill and Traci Boss determined their patient had developed pneumonia. With his COPD, that was making it hard for him to breathe. The students are pursuing a career they hadn’t considered when they started their university education. Instructor Heather Noyes said most who are studying respiratory therapy have other degrees. Purewal, for example, said he didn’t know what an RT was two years ago, discovering it as he looked for better odds on an interesting job. Student Bryana Thacker said many of her peers in the pro-

gram were looking for a career in acute care “that is more handson.” There are 80 students in each of the first and second years of the program, Noyes said. The third year is one devoted to clinical study only, with students placed in hospitals in Kelowna, Victoria and on the Coast. Royal Inland Hospital used to be involved, but is no longer. Learning has come a long way from when Noyes was studying at Cariboo College. Back then, she said, they didn’t have the kind of simulators — the program also has a baby-sized one to go along with neonatal RT courses — that give a close-to-reality-aspossible experience. That’s only one part of the program. Students also work with people who might

have sleep apnea or other respiratory issues. Classrooms are filled with equipment, from large boxes in which patients sit for a variety of breathe-inbreathe-out tests that measure lung volume to ambulatory bloodpressure monitoring to sleep studies and oral appliance consultations. Practical experience is best, Aman said, “a good confidencebooster using the simulations and working with patients.” The program is hoping to see more fleshand-blood breathing patients engage with the students, providing them with unique real symptoms from which they can learn. Student Lindsay Brown said the list of potential people who might benefit from their studies — while also helping the students learn — include people who have a his-

tory of snoring, disrupted sleep, restless leg syndrome, headaches upon waking, exhaustion during the day, difficulty concentrating, forgetfulness or performance problems at work or school. Even something as apparently unrelated as behaviour problems in children can be reviewed to determine if the underlying issue is a sleep disorder. People can refer themselves or ask their doctors to send them to the program. The sleep clinic that focuses on apnea has a variety of monitoring devices people can use at home to record their sleep patterns. The students review the information gathered and provide information to the person and their physician. For more information, contact the centre in the faculty of science at 250-371-5952.

Court sides with city in ongoing property battle CAM FORTEMS

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has rejected a lawsuit filed by a North Kamloops homeowner who claimed the city had no right to trespass on her property in a bid to clean up a neighbourhood blight. Justice Hope Hyslop ruled in favour of the City of Kamloops against Lynda Watt, who owns the home at 356 McGowan Ave. The home has been a problem for neighbours for eight years. It was damaged in a fire in 2008, but was not repaired. A number of reports found it was at times full of garbage and home to guests that included pigeons, vermin and squatters. The city attempted to encourage Watt in 2011 and 2012 to clean up her property, which was deemed by officials to be a health and fire hazard.

Kamloops council took a series of actions available under provincial legislation that allowed officials to enter the property and home to do repairs. In January 2014, city officials and contractors, escorted by RCMP, entered the house to make bids. A contractor was hired to replace drywall and surfaces in order to make indoor air quality safe. They ripped out drywall and insulation to make repairs. Hyslop rejected an argument by Watt’s lawyer that the city trespassed, that she was never served with legal documents and that she was overcharged for work by the contractor. “The plaintiff was in breach of city bylaws and she knew this,” Hyslop wrote in her ruling. “Her statement reflects a complete indifference to her neighbours.” Hyslop ruled the city is entitled to its costs of $58,000 for remediation. Watt must also pay court costs.

‘TIED TOGETHER’: IMPACTS OF U.S. ELECTION Canada’s neighbours to the South hit the polls today to vote Clinton or Trump OTTAWA — The elephant is grunting and twitching. Pierre Trudeau’s famous analogy of Canada’s precarious place sleeping next to an American leviathan is top of mind during today’s U.S. election, which has barely glanced at its northern neighbour. “Living next to you is in some ways like sleeping with an elephant,’’ the father of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Americans at Washington’s National Press Club in March 1969. “No matter how friendly and even-tempered is the beast, if I can call it that, one is affected by every twitch and grunt.” Friendly and eventempered is not how anyone would describe the 2016 presidential race between Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton and Republican nominee Donald Trump. This thrashing nightmare of an election year has long since alarmed Mexico, Canada’s other partner in the North American free trade bed and a primary target for

Trump’s sharp antitrade, anti-immigration elbows. But unlike Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto, who has made no secret of his concern about a Trump presidency, Justin Trudeau remains above the fray. “Any responsible government is looking at what various consequences could be for Canadians, for the Canadian economy, of various measures or various policy positions that the potential next president of the United States — our largest trading partner — might take. That’s simply responsible,’’ Trudeau said last week while waving off a question about today’s outcome. “I’m going to have faith in the American political process and reassure Canadians that I will work with whomever gets elected to continue to defend Canada’s interests and grow our economy.’’ Bruce Heyman, the U.S. ambassador to Canada, was similarly sanguine yesterday in an interview with The Canadian Press. “First of all the headline is I’m confident, no matter who

occupies the White House, the United States and Canada will continue to be engaged neighbours, prosperous partners, stalwart allies, best of friends,’’ Heyman said. Trudeau and Heyman both offered safe, predictable responses to an election that doesn’t feel safe or predictable. The president of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce is far less reassuring. “There’s a great deal that’s at stake here,” Perrin Beatty said in an interview. “I would like us to be in a position where the discussion is going to be [about] how rapidly and how imaginatively can we deepen our partnership. Instead, what I think what we’ll be looking at is, how do we maintain the progress we’ve been making?” And it’s not just about whether Clinton or Trump prevails to win the White House. Today’s voting will also determine the composition of the Republicandominated House of Representatives and of the Senate, which could conceivably see a majority of Democratic senators elected. Both

will in large measure bind the hands of the new president. Beatty said there’s a clearly protectionist tilt to this U.S. election season and he doesn’t discount Clinton’s tough talk on NAFTA and the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership as mere posturing. Canada is vulnerable to any thickening of U.S. border security, a constant Trump theme. Canada requires policy collaboration on climate change, especially given the looming national carbon price starting in 2018. The country will need to find some U.S. goodwill to resolve the never-ending softwood lumber dispute and Canada must also fend off any new Buy American provisions — to name just a few bilateral issues. Craig Alexander, chief economist at the Conference Board of Canada, said financial markets “would unambiguously prefer a Clinton victory and a Republican Congress’’ — thus ensuring the greatest likelihood of policy continuity. Trump is the wild card. “The financial market reaction would

likely be enormously negative in a knee-jerk fashion.” Bilateral issues are not Canada’s sole concern, Alexander noted. The hangover from the deeply divided electorate and the trash-talking of America’s democratic institutions will make U.S. governance more difficult. “From a Canadian point of view, we actu- Fill in the blank cells using numbers 1 to 9.

Local boxers to fight for Team B.C. ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Each club will play four opponents every season — for Thompson Rivers those clubs are the UBC-Okanagan Heat, Fraser Valley Cascades, UNBC Timberwolves and Victoria Vikes — and will have contests against six of the remaining 12 opponents every other year. Over a four-year rotation, every team will play every opponent at least twice and will visit every gym in the Canada West at least once. “If I had a bellyache, that would be my one bellyache — there are not two teams in the conference that play the same schedule,” men’s head coach Scott Clark said. “To call it a schedule, I think, is a misnomer in that I believe we just play some games and at the end they’re going to compare everybody.”

Barry Adkins expects both his fighters to be in medal contention when the bell rings at Boxing Canada’s 2017 National Championships in March. The head instructor of Lions Roar Boxing Club, a division of the White Crane Martial Arts Centre, Adkins said Josh Slager and Kali Gawley will be looking to build on the success they had at the 2017 Boxing B.C. Provincial Championships in Abbotsford last month. “Kali, it’s always a fight,” Adkins said. “I think Kali has a good chance of medalling. Kali is very strong and I’ve got a lot of confidence in her. I expect her to be in the medal rounds. “Josh, because the men’s division is much broader, he’ll have his hands full,” the instructor continued. “But he’s at a very good developmental stage. Josh has got a couple of things that stand out for him. He’s a very hard hitter — that’s always a good thing to have going into these things. His movement is getting very good, he’s harder to hit. My expectations are he’ll be in the medal rounds.” The two local fighters had differing results at the provincial championship, though both put forth strong outings. Gawley won her exhibition fight against Nanaimo’s Ivy Richardson. The Kamloops boxer is a 29-year-old who fights at 141 pounds and came in second at the Canadian championships last year. Both Richardson and Gawley will be headed to nationals as the lone representatives of their divisions. “It was a very, very dominant fight for Kali,” Adkins said. “She’s an aggressive boxer. She’s very, very strong. It would be difficult to find a stronger girl than her.” Meanwhile, Slager lost his fight in a split decision, but he put in an incredible performance against veteran boxer Nanaimo’s Jag Seehra. “It was the fight of his life,” Adkins said. “Jag has 120 fights and Josh was at 24. “I thought he won the bout. Sometimes it’s hard to beat somebody like Jag unless you stop them. Josh came very close to doing that a couple times.”

PACK WEIGH IN ON CANADA WEST

ANOTHER NEW SEASON, YET ANOTHER ARRANGEMENT FOR TRU BASKETBALL ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

top if you’ve heard this one before — the Canada West Universities Athletic Association has voted to change the format of its basketball conference. It has been six months since Canada West’s AGM, where athletic directors approved another change to a conference that has seen more than a half-dozen such changes in the last decade. In the last 10 years, the Thompson Rivers WolfPack have played under the same format in back-to-back seasons just a handful of times. So, with the 2016-2017 Canada West campaign having opened on Friday at the Tournament Capital Centre, how do the WolfPack’s coaches feel about the new arrangement?

“I think there’s always good and bad — you could choose one side or the other,” women’s head coach Scott Reeves told KTW, though he did lament that a system never seems to last more than two years. “I don’t really choose to engage on whether a schedule is good or bad — a schedule is a schedule. I have to play it, irregardless of what I think of it.” Beginning this season, all 17 of the Canada West’s basketball teams have been lumped into a single conference, doing away with the Pioneer and Explorer divisions used the last two seasons. Under the previous arrangement, clubs were placed in divisions based on their history in the league, which led to talk the conference had been tiered. Under the new system, teams will still play 20 regular season games, but will have more variety in opposition and will all compete for the same playoff berths.

With no Western Canadian championship planned for this year, the next step for both Kamloops fighters is the national championships in Quebec City. They will be part of Team B.C. and will compete for positions on Canada’s highperformance team. Adkins said he has been training boxers at White Crane for a number of years, but only recently took out a charter with Boxing B.C. The trip to nationals is just an indication of the vibrancy of the sport in the Tournament Capital. “The health of boxing — there’s always interest,” he said. “Especially kids that are finished either university or high school and there’s not as many sports to go to and people want to stay active. They look at martial arts in general and boxing is one of the options.” Lions Roar also had a pair of fighters with bouts outside the tournament bracket in Abbotsford. Bryan Adkins won his fight against Jordan Schneider of Seattle in a unanimous decision. Mike Basran won by decision in his first career fight, an exhibition bout against Brennan MacBlain of Abbotsford.

BRIEFS Cougars this weekend at the Tournament Capital Centre.

Wolves sixth in Vernon meet

The Thompson Rivers WolfPack captured 16 medals — six gold, seven silver and three bronze — en route to finishing sixth at the Vernon Fall

Invitational Swim Meet on the weekend. The nine-team meet included 196 swimmers. First-year swimmer Breena Rusnell led the Pack, qualifying for the Canada West Championships in four events later this month, while capturing gold in the 200-metre individual medley and 50m butterfly, silver in the 50m freestyle, 100m freestyle and 50m backstroke and bronze in the 100m backstroke. She was also sixth in the 800m and 100m freestyles.

Joelle Young won gold in both the 100m and 200m breaststrokes and captured silver in the 200m IM. She was third in the 50m backstroke. Gabrielle Dagasso won bronze in the 200m backstroke. Jagdeesh Uppal won gold in the 100m and 200m breaststrokes and silver in the 50m breaststroke. The first-ever WolfPack relay teams partook in the women’s 4x50m medley relay and 4x50m freestyle relay, finishing second in both events.

WolfPack will have double the travel in 2016-2017 From A17

Reeves has similar concerns. “The one criticism I have would be the playoff structure,” he said. “The playoffs — that’s how you get to the national tournament. So, if there’s an imbalance in the schedule, that really doesn’t sit well with me, in terms of seeding for the playoffs.” Speaking of the playoffs, 12 teams will be bound for the post-season when regularseason action wraps up on Feb. 12, the top four of which will receive automatic byes to the conference quarter-finals. The remaining eight clubs will square off in best-of-three series at the home of the higher seed. No. 5 will play No. 12, No. 6 will play No. 11 and so on. This past weekend, the WolfPack men lost 96-60 and

78-67 to the UBC Thunderbirds, while the women fell 72-46 and 58-38. And, while neither Thompson Rivers coach is a real fan of what they currently have to work with, they both agreed a solution is hard to come by. “It’s no fault of whoever makes the schedule. It’s a 17-team conference — it’s monumental,” Clark said. “Really, you can’t [have a schedule] with 17 teams. Everybody was opposed to our divisional play last year. The truth, was I ever a real fan of it? No. But my opinion was always that the conference needs to be divided.” For teams from the Tournament Capital, the new scheduling format will mean more travel. This year, Thompson Rivers

will play road contests in Winnipeg, Edmonton, Prince George, Abbotsford and Regina, adding up to roughly 3,950 kilometres. Last season, the club’s regular-season road action included stops in Prince George, Calgary, Kelowna, Edmonton and Abbotsford — about 1,740 kilometres. It’s a wrinkle Reeves hopes a travel-heavy pre-season has prepared his club for. “This life is a grind,” he said. “They had to get thrown into what a grind would be like — back-to-back roads, out to Ottawa, out to Victoria. We have now, next week and the week after to go to Manitoba and then Alberta. “So, it’s not like we haven’t done that before. I just wanted to prepare them for what this life is going to be like.”

height 6’00” Weight 183LB Age 19 Shoots RIGHT Home Town KAMLOOPS Birthday APRIL 14, 1997 WHL DRAFT: Listed as an undrafted forward at the conclusion of the Blazers’ 2012 training camp. FUN FACT: Sideroff made his professional debut last season, playing a single game for the AHL’s San Diego Gulls.

Rudolfs Balcers taps in a goal against the Medicine Hat Tigers. BELOW: Deven Sideroff and company celebrate a goal on Friday.

Pilon, Balcers, Sideroff a dynamic combo The line of Garrett Pilon between Rudolfs Balcers and Deven Sideroff combined for nine points in the Kamloops Blazers’ 5-2 victory over the Medicine Hat Tigers at Sandman Centre on Friday. Balcers added another goal Saturday in the Blazers’ 4-2 loss against the Prince George Cougars. “Ever since I’ve started playing with Pilon and Balcers, we’ve kind of been clicking,” said Sideroff, who finished with one goal, four points and first-star honours Friday. “Every single game, our chemistry is getting better and better.” Medicine Hat (11-5-1-0) entered the game having scored the second-most goals in the WHL, but the Tigers’ potent offence was stifled by an undermanned Blazers’ defence corps and forwards willing to backcheck. “We played a really efficient game tonight,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “It was important for us to get the lead and play with it.” Veteran defencemen Dawson Davidson, Shaun Dosanjh and Dallas Valentine were out of the lineup injured. Tylor Ludwar, 17, made his WHL debut on the Blazers’ back end and 18-year-old Danny Gatenby, who has played sparingly this season, filled in admirably. Sideroff and Kamloops captain Collin Shirley notched second-period goals. Ondrej Vala’s marker at 7:03 of the third period made it 3-0. The Tigers found life when Dylan MacPherson’s point shot beat Blazers’ backstop Connor Ingram through a screen, but one of the league’s hottest

lines quickly quelled the comeback. Sideroff set up Balcers beautifully and the Latvian import tallied seven seconds after MacPherson’s goal. Off the ensuing faceoff, Pilon charged up-ice and fed Balcers, who used his skate to kick the puck past Tigers’ netminder Duncan McGovern. Under new-this-season WHL rules, kick-in goals are allowed, so long as contact with the puck is made outside the crease. Balcers’ second of the night came just 21 seconds after his first. Mark Rassell scored for the Tigers at 19:29. Hockey Canada goaltending consultant Fred Brathwaite was in the building, taking another look at Ingram ahead of the World Junior Hockey Championship.

Ingram steered aside 36 shots and was named the game’s third star. McGovern made 38 saves in a losing effort. The Blazers (10-9-1-0) were stymied in Prince George on Saturday, the Cariboo club sitting atop league standings at 14-3-2-0. Balcers’ goal and a shorthanded marker from Shirley marked the only goals for Kamloops. Dylan Ferguson stopped 34 of 38 shots for the Blazers, while Ty Edmonds turned aside 37 of 39 for the Cougars. The Blazers will be at Sandman Centre for a pair of games this weekend. The club will take on the Prince Albert Raiders (5-11-1-0) on Remembrance Day at 5 p.m., before getting another crack at the Cougars on Saturday at 7 p.m.

Annual General Meeting Logan Hwang (901) of Westsyde secondary leads the pack in the junior boys’ race. DIANNE HWANG PHOTO

Hwang runs to silver STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Logan Hwang had been beaten by a few of these runners before. On Saturday, it was his time to shine. Hwang, a Grade 10 student at Westsyde secondary, won the silver medal in the junior boys’ division of the B.C. High School Cross-Country Championships in West Kelowna on the weekend, finishing one second back of the leader, Logan MacDonald of Chilliwack’s Sardis secondary. Hwang crossed the line second in the 4.5-kilometre race, finishing in 17 minutes and 10 seconds. “He did really, really well,” Jason Hwang, the cross-country coach at Westsyde and Logan’s father, told KTW. Jason said the pack in West Kelowna was made up of runners that Logan had raced against previously, not always to the result the he had wanted. Saturday, it was only MacDonald he trailed. “He’s very happy with that

and knowing that he’s able to perform at a provincial level,” Jason said. Westsyde qualified one of two teams from Kamloops that ran in the provincial championship. The group finished 14th in the junior boy’s category. Caleb Campbell (105th), Jax Anderson (153rd), Dylan Barrett (160th), Austin Krug (191st) and Alex Toplak (193rd) rounded out the school’s team. The coach said Westsyde’s performance was particularly impressive given that, while all its racers were multi-sport athletes, none consider themselves runners. Also racing in the junior boys’ category was South Kamloops’ Trevor Laupland, who finished 60th in a time of 19:02. A total of 202 entries participated in the race. In the 197-runner junior girls’ category, Tegan Heshka of Sa-Hali came 11th in the 4.5-kilometre race, finishing in 20:31. Maia Vitoratos of St. Ann’s finished 39th with a time of 21:37. Representing the

Tournament Capital in the 6.7-kilometre, 222-runner senior boys’ race, Calum Carrigan finished 58th in a time of 28:04. Jordan DeVries crossed the line 102nd with a time of 29:56. Both were running for South Kamloops. South Kamloops also qualified a team for the senior boys’ championship, which finished 23rd. Impressive in their race was two Grade 8 runners — A.J. Timewell (181st) and Christopher Crowe (176th) — ran for the team amongst the senior runners. Carrigan, DeVries and Ethan Wenger (190th) rounded out the team race for South Kam. “To have two teams qualify for the B.C. provincials has never been done in Kamloops before,” said Yvonne Timewell, South Kamloops’ coach and A.J.’s mother. She then turned her attention to her team and, in particular, the performances of Crowe and Timewell. “They basically were running against Grade 11s and 12s,” she said. “They held their own.”

STORM LOSE TO EAGLES, DOWN POSSE The Kamloops Storm picked up points in both their contests on the weekend, falling 4-3 to the Sicamous Eagles in overtime on Friday and winning a 3-0 decision against the Princeton Posse on Saturday.

Aris Anagnostopoulos was between the pipes for both contests. The Storm had goals from Morgan Poirier, Hayden Dick, Nate Pelletier, Rowan Lougheed and Evan Walls, with two.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Alma Mable Dollman Voros

Alma Mable Dollman Voros, age 92 passed away peacefully, November 3, 2016 in Kamloops, B.C. She was born on March 3, 1924 in MacNutt, Saskatchewan. She was one of nine children born to parents Richard and Annie Brummund. She is survived by one sister Irean Milke of Kelowna, B.C. and one brother Ron Brummond of Medicine Hat, AB., and nine children, Linda Anderson (Don), Caroline Knox (Jim), Shirley Krusel,(Al) Rick Dollman (Diane), Marilyn Acheson (Randy), Elaine Tylor, Gord Dollman(Katrina), Danny Dollman (Shaun) and Gary Dollman. She is also survived by 34 grandchildren and 36 great-grandchildren. She is predeceased by her first husband Leonard Dollman, her second husband Frank Voros, her sons David Dollman, Lenny Dollman, and her grandson Curtis Dollman. Five brothers and one sister, Albert Brummund, Leonard Brummond, Eddie Brummond and one sister Edna Brummund. As well as Mom and Dad Brummond, Richard and Annie. Mom’s greatest accomplishment was having babies and raising them to adulthood. She gave birth to 11 children six boys and five girls all in a span of 16 years. That was her vow to the Lord she would often declare. The Lord blessed that vow as she left quite a heritage behind, and there still coming in multiples. She Married her first husband Leonard Dollman on June 19, 1948 to whom all 11 children belonged. Dad passed away July 24, 1996 after 48 years of marriage. It was one year later that Frank Voros, a widower himself caught my mother’s eye and they were married a year and a half later December 14, 1997. That union lasted nine years as Frank passed away October 15, 2006 to be with the Lord. Mom later lived a number of years at Brock Housing Complex in her own apartment next door to her long time friend Vera Mertz. She later moved to the senior’s apartment complex “The Shores Retirement Residence” with awesome staff that took good care of mom in her self contained suite. Most of mom’s spiritual side comes from her Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, and the church family she called home. That is “Full Gospel Church” in Kamloops. Mother was one of the five families back in 1960 that church planted “Full Gospel” She moved to Vancouver for nine years but sent her tithes and offerings back home. Some of Mom’s favourite sayings were “It bears repeating” and “Forgive and love again” Mothers favourite colour was red, her favourite number was ten. To all her friends she leaves behind and loved so dearly, she doesn’t say goodbye but she says “Good night” Much thanks and appreciation goes out to the Kamloops Ponderosa Lodge where mom received expert care with gracious hands that really cared during her final months of her life. Funeral Service to take place at “Full Gospel Church” 1550 Tranquille Rd. Kamloops, B.C on Saturday, November 12, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. Pastor Darrell Hellquist Officiating.

Marjorie Keene

January 8 1918 - October 27 2016 It is with great sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Marjorie Keene at Salmon Arm Hospital. Marjorie was predeceased by her husband Lloyd in 2007. She will be lovingly remembered by her three sons Jim (Julie), Doug (Mary), Bruce (Catharine), daughter inlaw Dee, youngest sister Nora Dixon, and many nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren as well as the residents and staff at Parkside in Chase where she resided for her final years.

EACH LOSS Each loss is very different, The pain is so severe. Will I ever stop missing This one I loved so dear?

Marjorie Stewart was born in Sedgewick, Alberta. She later moved with her family to their new homestead at Last Lake near Brownvale, Alberta. She attended Blue Hawk School and Peace River High School, and later graduating from the McTavish Business college in Edmonton.

Good times we had together, The moments that we shared We didn’t have to tell each other How much we really cared.

She began her business career with the Alberta Dairy Pool in Hardisty, and later the Canadian Bank of Commerce in Berwyn and at various locations in Alberta, then on to Yellowknife where she met her future husband Lloyd. They were married in Edmonton on September 30th, 1947.

I never dreamed you’d go away, Never thought of sorrow. So sure you’d always be here Took for granted each tomorrow.

They resided for a short time in Victoria - where Jim was born, then White Rock and then on to 150 Mile House and Williams Lake where Doug and Bruce were born. They later moved to Dawson Creek, then retiring to Kamloops in 1978 where they spent many happy years on the river. Mom and Dad downsized in 2005 - moving to Chase, where Mom spent the last 3 years at Parkside assisted living.

Now my life is all confused Since you went away. You took a part of me And for help I daily pray.

A Celebration of Life will be held at 2:00 pm on Saturday, November 12, 2016 in the Kamloops Funeral Home Chapel, 285 Fortune Drive. Should friends desire, a small donation in Marjorie’s name to the Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society, or to a charity of your choice would be appreciated. Turtle Valley Donkey Refuge Society (7877 Skimikin Road, Chase BC, V0E-IMI). Turtlevalleydonkeyrefuge.com Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com 250-554-2577

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.

Brian Ivan James Rasmussen

April 8, 1933 – September 15, 2016

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Brian Ivan James Rasmussen on November 4, 2016, at the age of 77. He was surrounded by his loving wife of 56 years Laverne Rasmussen, and his children and grandchildren at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, in Kamloops, BC. Brian was born on January 7, 1939, in Winnipeg, Manitoba to Henry and Edith Rasmussen, he was the youngest of 4 children. In October 1957, Brian went to Regina to join the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. He was first stationed in Ottawa at Parliament Hill, and then in 1959 Brian was stationed in Campbell River where he met the love of his life Laverne Daniels. Brian and Laverne were married in 1960. Throughout the years of being stationed in various cities in British Columbia, such as Campbell River, Port Alberni, Malliardville, Keremeos, Fort Nelson and Grand Forks, Brian and Laverne raised four children; Todd, Craig, Colin and Paige. After retiring from the R.C.M.P. in April of 1982, Brian worked for the British Columbia Coroner Service and settled in Kamloops, with his wife and family. Brian is predeceased by his parents Henry and Edith Rasmussen, his brother Bill (Ellen), his sister Bernice (Len), his in-laws Victor and Evelyn Daniels, and his sister in-law Marlene. Brian leaves behind his wife Laverne, brother Bruce (Anna), son Todd (Nola), son Craig (Aaron), son Colin (Tannis) and daughter Paige (Darren). Also left to miss him are his grandchildren Becky (Jeremy), Brynn, Zachary (Lindsay), Dexter (Kourtney), Molly (Mitchell), Joshua, Nathan, Abby, Olivia, Emira, Kaden and Ainsley, and three great-granddaughters Ava, Stella and Thora. Brian was a man who loved life, and a man who squeezed every last ounce of love, joy and fun out of life. He was always the first to welcome you in, crack a joke, and offer you something to drink. Brian had a deep love for sports, which he passed on to his children and grandchildren. He never missed a game, whether it be his children’s, grandchildren’s, or a professional game on TV. Brian loved football, hockey, baseball, curling, soccer, golf, lacrosse, figure skating, and dance. He was always everyone’s biggest supporter. Brian will be missed for his love for life, sense of humour, his undying love for his family and friends, and his love for sports. Brian lived a life like the George Strait song says “ I ain’t here for a long time, I’m here for a good time”. Until we meet again, we love you. A Celebration of Life will be held at Kamloops Curling Club, 700 Victoria Street, Friday, November 11, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. All are invited to join us. In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate a donation be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice House, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops B.C. V2E-2S9.

collections in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. A lover of music and particularly opera, Ted was also an avid fly fisher and spent much of his leisure time trout fishing on lakes in and around Kamloops, often together with well-known Kamloops angler, Jack Shaw, and with close friend, Phil Claydon. Much of his work reflects the landscapes of these trips. Ted was predeceased by his parents, close cousin, Tom Newbury, life-long friends and supporters, Reinhold and Lore Dominik, and long-time artistic supporter and former Executive Director of the Kamloops Art Gallery, Jann LM Bailey. He leaves in mourning members of his ‘adoptive’ family, Annette, Barbara and Kathrine Dominik, and close life-long friends, Phil and Mary Kay Claydon, Marie Scott, Martha Hivon and Nigel Minchin (owners of the former Oasis Gallery), and Gerhard Lietz, as well as many friends in the art community. We would like to thank Dr. Susan Vlahos for her compassionate care of Ted in his last years and the Kamloops Art Gallery for their continuous support of his work. A Celebration of Life will be held for Ted at the Kamloops Art Gallery on Saturday, November 26, at 2:00 p.m. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to the Kamloops Art Gallery.

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of James Edward “Ted” Smith, well-known painter and a kind and gentle man. Ted was born in Vernon on April 8, 1933, the only child of stock buyer and brand inspector, James Alexander Smith and teacher, Alma Louisa Smith (nee Johnson). After spending his first years in Lumby, Ted’s family moved briefly to Barriere and finally settled in Kamloops in 1942. Upon graduating from high school, Ted worked for the CN and completed several years of university, first at Victoria College, and then at UBC before finding his way to the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University). He completed the 4-year diploma in painting and drawing, studying under teachers such as accomplished artists Jack Shadbolt and Don Jarvis. In 1964, he returned to Kamloops, which was to remain his home for the rest of his life. Ted dedicated his life to painting, exhibiting notably at the former Oasis Gallery, in private local exhibitions, and at the Kamloops Art Gallery, which curated many exhibitions of his work, including Ted Smith: Three Decades of Colour, April 16 to May 17, 1992 (Solo exhibition), Home Grown: Five from the Region, December 10, 2000 to February 4, 2001 (Group exhibition), Ted Smith and A.Y.

Alice Mae Berner

Leonard Sterle

Alice Mae Berner of Kamloops, BC passed away on October 30, 2016 at 87 years of age. She is survived by her loving husband Gordon Berner, grandson Jamie Lee Berner, sister Trudy Pizak, sisters-in-law Lairise Keen, Lavina Berner and Mary Berner, brotherin-law Carol Berner, daughter-inlaw Donna Berner as well as many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

1929 - 2016 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Leonard George Sterle on October 31, 2016. He was 87 years old. Len was born in Bushnell, Nebraska USA on June 28, 1929, and regaled in his stories of his boyhood growing up on a homestead and the struggles and joys it provided. In 1949 he joined the US Navy, was stationed in Hawaii, and served on the submarine rescue ship USS Coucal ASR-8 during the Korean War. After graduating from California State University, he started a teaching career in Arcadia and eventually made his way to Canada where he settled in Kamloops to teach at Kamloops High until his retirement in 1993. Len was also a Ranger for the US National Park Service and had the honour of being a Ranger at Yosemite National Park for 7 years during off seasons from teaching. It is here that he says were some of the happiest times of his life riding his horse through the various passes in the High Sierra Mountains.

THE COWBOY’S PRAYER Oh Lord, I reckon I’m not much just by myself.

With all of the facets of his remarkable life, one thing remains at the top of his accomplishments- he was an incredible son, brother, uncle, husband, father and grandfather. Len was loved by his wife of 30 years- Jozefina, his sons Gary Sterle and Joe Pek, his daughters Karolina Pek and Paulina Pekova (Cam), and his numerous family members throughout the US. His grandsons Sasha and Pavel Ryga will forever cherish their memories of their beloved Grandpa who would take them camping, make flapjacks for them and tell them stories of his adventure filled life.

I fail to do a lot of things I ought to do.

Our lives are forever enriched to have known and loved him and the graceful way in which he supported and encouraged the people that he loved so dearly. If a life’s success is measured by the people a person loves and impacts in a positive way- then Len was immeasurably rich.

I do not care how many flowers they send.

There was no service at his request, and the family expresses deep appreciation to the wonderful Staff at Royal Inland Hospital, the Kamloops Hospice Association and Drake Cremation & Funeral Services.

She was predeceased by her son Greg. Alice was born in Saskatchewan. It was here that her love for music began. She played with her mom and dad and when she was 12 started to perform with her dad at the school dances. In 1950 she married the love of her life Gordon and they spent many happy years together. They both continued on with their love for music and they were the original starters of the Old Time Fiddlers Branch 12. Alice could play the piano, guitar, bass guitar and she could also sing. When Alice and Gordon would go down south she would play her music there as well. People had been heard to say, “I don’t know where this lady came from but she sure can play that bass Guitar!” The family would like to give a special thanks to Marilyn and Marv Dressler for all your help and support. There will be no formal service by request.

For you to say to me, “Let’s ride, my friend.”

Memorial donations may be made to the British Columbia Lung Association.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Idanna Campagnaro

Arthur Allan Duggan

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Idanna Campagnaro. Idanna was born in Paris, France in 1936 to Arturo and Caterina Cividino and the family eventually emigrated to Canada from Italy in 1952.

September 28, 1930 – November 1, 2016 Art passed away peacefully at the age of 86. He was, and will always be loved and cherished by his six children Leila (Rick) Davis, Louise (Bill) Monk, Lynnette Duggan, Andrew (Judy) Duggan, Donna Walker, Deanna (Duncan) Gay, twelve grandchildren Pamela (Robert) Clements, Donald Davis, Dawn Thoreson, Christopher Winfield, Terri (Eli) van EkVeenstra, Justin (Jennafer) Duggan, Kevin (Megan) Duggan, Cale Walker, Tyler Walker, Lucas Walker, Brandi (William) Walter and Jessie Gay, fifteen great-grandchildren Mark, Monica, Raistlin, Viktor, Kitira, Dalamar, Rikus, Draven, Willem, Thomas, Daniel, Logan, Piper, Oliver, Charlotte, and one great-great-granddaughter Leliana.

Idanna was very active in the community and was a founding member of the Can-Ital Ladies Society in Kamloops. She was always a fixture at the July 1 celebrations in Riverside Park and was proud to promote the Italian culture within the Kamloops community. Idanna leaves behind her husband of 60 years, Giovanni, daughter Adriana (Brian Cavazzi), son Robert (Deborah) and her three granddaughters Elena Cavazzi and Alexandra and Danielle Campagnaro. She will also be greatly missed by her sisters Fernanda Gnoato (Bruno), Gabriella Campagnaro (Lino) and brother Ezio as well as numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. Other members of the Campagnaro tapestry that will miss Idanna are Guido Campagnaro (Maria – deceased) and ‘The 1936 Club’ that Idanna and Gianni celebrated many happy occasions with over the years.

Art served as Chief of Firehall 6 until his retirement in 1990. In 1973 Dallas became a part of the City of Kamloops and Art went to work for the City’s Water Department as a pump mechanic and continued there until his retirement in 1995. Throughout their marriage, Art and Norma spent many happy times with their family, camping and fishing in the Kamloops area, and enjoyed gardening and woodworking together.

The family extends their sincere thanks to the wonderful staff at Pine Grove Care Centre for their excellent care. The kindness shown by the staff to both Idanna and Gianni was incomparable and truly made Idanna’s last few days very comfortable. The family would also like to thank all of her friends and family who visited her at Pine Grove. The Memorial Mass will be celebrated at Holy Family Catholic Church on Wednesday, November 9th, 2016 at 11:00 a.m. with a private family interment to follow. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests that a donation be made to the Pine Grove Care Centre or The Parkinson’s Society of Canada.

In lieu of flowers, donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice (where Norma spent her final days) or the Salvation Army would be greatly appreciated. Please join the family at the Barnhartvale Hall, Saturday, November 12th, 1pm - 4pm to Celebrate Art’s Life

Idanna soon adjusted to life in Canada and eventually met her life long partner – Giovanni Campagnaro. They were married in 1957 and made their life in Kamloops. They were blessed with two children, Adriana and Rob.

Art was predeceased by his parents, his sisters Iola and Thelma (Babs), his wife Norma and his son-in-law Dale Walker. Art was born in Victoria, BC and lived in various communities around Vancouver Island. In 1948, Art joined the Navy and then in 1949 this handsome sailor met Norma Johnson, the love of his life. They married in 1950 and raised 5 children on a farm in Metchosin (near Victoria). Art continued his service in the Navy until 1956. After that he worked at the Navy Ammunition Depot and was active in his community serving on the Community Hall Committee, square dancing and playing an instrumental role in the organizing of the local volunteer Fire Department. In 1963, transferring to the Kamloops Ammunition Depot, they moved to Dallas (which was not part of the city at that time) and added one more child to the family. They helped organized the volunteer Fire Department and Ladies Auxiliary, raising the funds to purchase a fire truck and build a fire hall.

Maybe there’s something to active investing

ack in September, I wrote about passive versus active

investing. For those who missed it, the discussion revolved around two styles of portfolio management. Active is the age-old practice of looking for good companies selling below their value and buying them. Passive is based on the theory most active managers can’t beat the index, so you are better served to buy the index. Being raised and educated around active management, I must admit my bias to that mindset. A few weeks ago, I was on one of my due diligence trips to Toronto and had the pleasure of meeting with one of our investment partners who, by

LES CONSENHEIM

Magnus

CONSILIO chance (not really), are active managers. We had a great meeting and I thought I would pass on a few interesting points. 1. A study was done comparing asset classes and how they performed over the 20-year period ending in 2015. What was found was remarkable. Over that 20-year period, inflation ran at 2.2 per cent, oil went up 3.2 per cent, homes increased by 4.9 per

cent, gold 5.2 per cent, bonds 5.3 per cent and the S&P 500 Index had an annual rate of return of 8.2 per cent. What was remarkable is over that same time, the average investor gained 2.1 per cent per annum, the worst-performing asset class. 2. Safety and growth names versus our investment partners’ active management choices. Our discussions highlighted what was considered a safety

name in Kellogg. They trade at a 23 times price to free cash flow (P/FCF) and have an expected revenue growth rate of -1 per cent. In their words, you are paying 23 times to lose one per cent of your capital every year. Their average P/FCF is 15 with expected growth of six per cent. 3. Patience. The most interesting slide they presented was a list of 54 companies their global fund owned that had gone down in value after

they bought them. The drop in share price of these companies ranged from 66 per cent to 11 per cent. They have sold every position with gains ranging from 10 per cent to 367 per cent. One interesting point is one that went down 66 per cent was the one they eventually sold for a 367 per cent gain. Patience is a virtue. During our conversation, one of the managers said he wished everyone would buy

index funds. When asked why, he advised index funds create great mispricing in the market and substantial opportunities for active managers. Most people have a superficial understanding of index funds, which is what creates opportunity. The S&P 500 Index tracks the 500 largest publicly traded companies in the U.S. This index is capweighted, which means the bigger a company gets, the more of the index gets allocated to it. Just think about Nortel and Valeant in the Canadian index. Bigger does not mean better. As a final note, the S&P 500 Index (in Canadian-dollar terms) has a five-year rate of return of 13.73 per cent. The MSCI World Index has a five-year

return of 16.93 per cent and our investment partners global fund, which is currently approximately 70 per cent U.S., has a five year return of 20.65 per cent per annum. Maybe there could be some merit to active investing. Les Consenheim is a senior wealth advisor with Scotia Wealth Management-The Consenheim Group.

STAFF REPORTER

he first impression one might have when entering Sona MD Skin and Hair Solutions is that you’ve walked into a spa. With pristine white furniture, original art on the walls and a list of treatments dominated by the esthetic side of skin care — botox, dermal fillers, laser skin rejuvenation — it’s a natural reaction. The reality is Sona, located in the Landmark Centre at 755 McGill Rd., is the only place in town with a doctor still registered through the province’s Medical Services Plan (MSP) to do dermatologic assessments and treatments. The other reality for Dr. Harpreet Lotay, the doctor who divides her time between Sona and her practice in Kelowna, is she needs to offer the esthetic side to ensure she stays in business because of the low MSP fees paid for doctors who did dermatology.

It’s the reason the city’s longtime dermatologist, Dr. Richard Lewis, is no longer paid for his services through MSP. Fees paid to doctors in his specialty are higher in virtually every other province in the country. For Lotay, though, the esthetic side has another benefit, one that appeals to the visual artist inside her, to the student who used to sit and sketch pictures and who enjoys creating her own art. “It’s what got me started in esthetics,”

Lotay said. “It draws me to it and it gives me a chance to use both sides of my brain.” To get to that point, she completed a postgraduate diploma in clinical dermatology at the London School of Medicine and was certified in primary-care skin-cancer medicine at the University of Aukland. She also studied hair loss at women’s College Hospital in Toronto under Dr. Jeff Donovan, a leading dermatologist in hair loss. Lotay also addresses many conferences on clinical dermatology, medical lasers and dermoscopy — the examination of the skin that, among other uses, can help diagnose melanoma. She was the goldmedal winner in surgery at the University of Alberta. Lotay’s clinic has all the equipment and staffing to deal with preserving or delaying the signs of skin aging, treating rosacea, acne and sunspots — those

brown spots known to an older generation as liver spots. She has a Halo laser that can deal with those signs of aging, sun damage, discolouration, enlarged pores and uneven skin, equipment that is safe for skin, from the sensitive to the hardiest. Lotay has equipment that draws inspiration from Popsicles to deal with skin. She explained that particular tool was created from research that discovered when children hold a Popsicle inside their mouths next to their cheeks, the cold causes fat in the skin to disappear. “That kind of dimpling, when it’s a child, resolves itself. Children can make more fat cells,” Lotay said. “But, once you’re an adult, you can’t.” Called cold-sculpting, it’s a process that permanently reduces fat cells without harming surrounding tissue. “It’s like liposuction, except you walk out of here. There’s no down time,” she said.

Lotay said opening the clinic — she is there on Thursdays and Fridays, while other staff provide esthetic services on days she’s not there — “was a way to serve the community. “One of the things that deters dermatologists is the MSP payments are so low,” she said. “You have to have a balance of both things. This allows us to still run a business.” Lotay said it’s possible she’ll be adding other days — not only does it provide her a chance to have mom cooking meals for her when she’s in Kamloops, she said “there is so much dermatology [assessment] needed here.” Sona — which means “beautiful” in Hindi — will be hosting an open house tomorrow, from 2:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. Landmark Centre is at the corner of Summit Drive and McGill Road. Parking is at the rear.

BUSINESS CANADIAN ECONOMY

PART-TIME JOBS UP, FULL-TIME JOBS DOWN IN OCTOBER THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The economy gained 44,000 net new jobs in October but the gains were entirely in part-time employment, Statistics Canada said Friday. The overall increase was driven by 67,000 additional part-time jobs for the month, while the number of full-time jobs fell by 23,000. The unemployment rate held steady at seven per cent as more people entered the labour market.

Economists expected a loss of 10,000 jobs overall and the unemployment rate to remain unchanged, according to Thomson Reuters. The increase in October follows a gain of some 67,000 jobs in September that saw gains in both part-time and full-time work. Compared with a year ago, there were 140,000 more jobs in October including a gain of nearly 16,000 full-time jobs and 124,000 part-time positions. For October, the goods-producing sector gained nearly 21,000 jobs, boosted by a gain of 24,000 in the construction industry.

More recalls by Samsung THE CANADIAN PRESS

Nearly three-million Samsung washing machines are being recalled in the U.S. following multiple injuries, including a broken jaw, due to “excessive vibration.’’ Samsung is the South Korean company that last month was forced to recall millions of its of Galaxy

‘EXCESSIVE VIBRATIONS’ BY WASHING MACHINES CAUSING INJURIES Note 7 smartphones after batteries inside began to overheat and catch fire. Safety officials cited 733 reports of malfunctioning, top-loading washing machines and nine injuries, including a broken jaw and an injured shoulder.

The recall Friday affects 34 models of washing machines manufactured between 2011 and this year. Samsung is offering free repairs, a rebate on the cost of a new machine or a full refund for machines purchased in the last 30 days.

The natural resources sector also gained 10,000 jobs, its first notable increase since March 2015. The services-producing sector added more than 23,000 jobs as wholesale and retail trade jobs climbed 19,000 and the “other services category’’ increased by 18,000. The educational services group climbed by 16,000. Ontario gained 25,000 jobs in October, while British Columbia increased 15,000. The number of jobs in Newfoundland and Labrador fell by 5,600. Statistics Canada also reported that

Canada’s trade deficit hit a record $4.1 billion in September due to the import of a component for the Hebron offshore oil project in Newfoundland and Labrador. Economists had expected a deficit of $1.7 billion for September. Imports rose 4.7 per cent to a record $47.6 billion in the month as import prices gained 2.4 per cent and volumes increased 2.3 per cent. Exports climbed 0.1 per cent to $43.5 billion as a 0.9 per cent increase in prices was offset by a 0.8 per cent decrease in volumes.

BMO poll: Balancing work, family hardest on business start-ups The Bank of Montreal recently polled small businesses across the country and learned women are finding it easier to run start-ups than their male counterparts. The report, conducted by Pollara, concluded women found it less difficult to balance work and family life, get advice on starting a business, earn profits, make decisions, build a customer network and obtain enough money to get the business going. The most challenging of those

characteristics for both demographics was balancing work and family life, with 87 per cent of men finding it difficult and 83 per cent of women finding it difficult. The least difficult category was making decisions, with 55 per cent of men finding it difficult and 33 per cent of women. The survey was conducted through phone interviews with a random sample of 304 Canadian small business owners and managers in September. The margin of error is 5.6 per cent, 19 times out of 20.

PHOTO CONTEST

Wal-Mart sets out plan as consumers seek green items ANNE D’INNOCENZIO

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Wal-Mart is laying out its environmental map for the next several years as it tries to satisfy customers who want green products at affordable prices. The world’s largest retailer says it will seek to reduce emissions in its own operations by 18 per cent by 2025 and work toward adding no waste to landfills in key markets like Canada and the United States. It also plans to be powered by 50 per cent clean and renewable energy sources. Wal-Mart’s goals, announced Friday by CEO Doug McMillon, follow a plan set in 2005 as the company sought to deflect criticism of its practices and burnish its image. Wal-Mart has extended its effort since then into its supply chain, which because of its size — more than 10,000 stores globally — gives it outsized influence on the overall industry. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer is under pressure from consumers, especially millennials, who want

environmentally friendly items. Wal-Mart is looking at technology to let shoppers scan food to learn its origins and other information, beyond tagging products with green labels. Kathleen McLaughlin, a WalMart senior vice-president, said she couldn’t estimate how much the programs will save or cost. While they have an impact on society, they overall make good business sense, she said. Some areas of focus include: • Sustainability: The company will use a combination of energy-efficiency measures and expand its use of clean and renewable sources to reduce emissions in its operations. Wal-Mart says it will be the first retailer to have an emissions-reduction plan approved by the Science Based Targets initiative in partnership with the Paris Climate Agreement in

December 2015. The Science-Based Targets initiative is a partnership with World Wildlife Fund, World Resources Institute and others. Wal-Mart will also work with suppliers to scale back emissions by one gigaton by 2030, which it says is equivalent to taking 211 million cars off the road a year. Wal-Mart hopes to be adding zero waste to landfills in Canada, Japan, the United Kingdom and the United States by 2025. It plans to refine how it buys food so less of it goes unsold and any that does is converted to pet food or fertilizers or diverted to charities. • Products: The company wants its private-brand packaging to be 100 per cent recyclable. It also plans to double sales of locally grown produce by 2025. It’s also working with suppliers and its private-label products to eliminate certified synthetic colours and

artificial flavours and get rid of other food additives where possible. • Workers: WalMart plans to work with industry groups and others to ensure workers globally in sectors like seafood, produce, clothing and electronics are not forced to pay fees to land jobs and are not taken advantage of by recruiting agents. It plans to train suppliers to monitor whether workers are being exploited. Wal-Mart was among the companies to which an Associated Press probe last year traced seafood that came through a fishing industry that used slave labour. The seafood was also linked to supermarkets and pet suppliers such as Kroger, Whole Foods and Petco. Diane Regas, executive director at the Environmental Defence Fund, said Wal-Mart deserves credit for more than meeting its sustainability commitment. “I think that surprises people,’’ Regas said. “There is a huge amount more to be done.’’

Cancer, it can sometimes be beneficial to escape from the hectic pace of daily life and spend some time on your own, especially if it means recharging. Make the most of an upcoming respite.

Capricorn, embrace others for the people they are. Each person brings something different to the table, and embracing those differences can help create lasting friendships.

Leo, the ride may prove bumpy for the next few days, but it’s nothing you can’t handle. Expect little time to yourself, but when you get a break, make the most of it.

Most of your plans are going to go perfectly this week,Virgo. Enjoy this stroke of good luck because you have earned it. Invite some loved ones along for the ride.

Aquarius, connecting with other people may become a bigger part of your job in the near future. Start polishing your social skills so you’ll be ready.

SNAKES

Snakes are not so darling to most of us, but may well be prone to disappearing. They went off to find some place warm.You have been busy trying to find them. There are 10 of them. Some have red bands, some yellow and some blue. They each have at least one colour of bands and maybe more. There are no more than three snakes of any colour combination. There is at least one snake of each one-colour combination and all one-colour combinations have a different number of snakes. There are seven snakes that have either red or yellow banding (or both), but not all three colours. There are six snakes that have either red or blue banding (or both), but not all three colours. There are five snakes that have either yellow or blue banding (or both), but not all three colours. The highly poisonous red-yellow-and-blue-banded variety is commonly misunderstood and just wants to be left alone. In this case, alone with your aquarium where it is warm — and there are fish to chow down. How many of the red-yellow-and-blue-banded snakes are there?

Déjà Vu White This Bordeaux-style blanc may give you a little déjà vu, but our New World twist will have you saying ‘ooh la la’. Lemon, lime, and subtle grapefruit aromas lead in to the true pièce de résistance – a dry, crisp palate with fresh citrus and melon flavours, rounded out with soft oak and gentle vanilla notes.

Enchanté Red This vibrant blend has a certain je ne sais quoi that is sure to leave you charmed. Cherry and currant aromas rendezvous with notes of oak; rich avant-garde flavours of cherry, currant, and plum are accented by oak and a soft tannin finish.
