Ajax ‘conditions’ to be debated ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops city councillor’s set of conditions for the city’s consideration of the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine will finally go to debate later this month. At Tuesday’s meeting, Coun. Denis Walsh put forward a notice of motion for what he calls his five community conditions, a series of targets and processes that would be required of mine proponent KGHM by city council. The proposals are modelled on the B.C. government’s five conditions for approval of heavyoil pipelines and include formal acceptance of the Ajax project by local First Nations, financial compensation for Kamloops,
the creation of an independent agency to monitor the mine and removal of current mine-monitoring duties from the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Ministry of Environment in favour of an independent agency. Walsh said the points have not changed much since he first proposed them in the summer, save for stronger language on tailings-storage facilities, which he believes should be dry stack, rather than the thickened tailings solution proposed by the company. “Without being able to reach that bar, we shouldn’t even consider this mine and we should vote against it,” Walsh said. When Walsh first laid out his proposal, there was mixed reaction from other councillors, with Mayor Peter Milobar arguing
much of the plan was best dealt with through negotiations the city is conducting with KHGM over mitigation and compensation. Walsh feels his plan, which also requires action from the province, is covering different concerns. While the five points are being presented as a package, Walsh said he’s been approached by some councillors who would like to debate and vote on each point individually. “I’m looking forward to the debate,” he said. “I think it’s good for the residents of Kamloops. To me, this is a long time coming. We should have done this years ago.” The notice of motion will be debated when council next meets on Nov. 22.
The national arm of the Canadian Union of Public Employees has taken control of CUPE 900, the union representing City of Kamloops employees and other municipal workers in the region. Kevin McConnachie, a national representative for the union now serving as administrator of the local chapter, said he expects to be in charge here for several months. “We expect it to be a short intervention,” he said. “It’s business as usual for the membership. There’s nothing happening to anyone, there’s no serious issues, it’s just our process for managing internal affairs.” McConnachie said “procedural matters” led CUPE national to step in to add more checks and balances to local operations. “The local has been going down, I guess you could say, something that contravenes our collective constitution, and it could be any number of things — it is any number of things,” he said. “It’s nothing so serious, but it’s something that we need to deal with.” CUPE 900 is what the union refers to as a composite local chapter, representing city workers in Kamloops and a number of surrounding communities, including Merritt. McConnachie said decisions are made by 12 unit chairs with an equal vote, but that process is breaking down. “It’s a procedural thing about how that process should unfold and how that falls in line with the bylaws of the CUPE institution, and it just hasn’t been working as of late,” he said. McConnachie said the daily operations of the union will not be affected.

The company behind the first new rental development to be built in the city in two decades is looking to bring another 375 units to an empty lot across from Thompson Rivers University. At its Tuesday meeting, Kamloops city council agreed to take to public hearing a proposal from Cross Developments for six new rental apartment buildings at 1261 Dalhousie Dr. and 821 McGill Rd. Cross Developments previously built Summit Village, a rental apartment complex located at
1415 Summit Drive, next to the Highway 1 on-ramp. At the time, the rental project was the first of its kind in the city in years. Owner Barry Cross said while his latest project will be located close to the university, he’s looking to meet rental demand in the neighbourhood at large. “There’s a lot of people who work around the university,” he said. “It’s not meant to be exclusively for students.” The development would include studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments and will likely take five years
to fully build out, Cross said. For the project to proceed, council will need to agree to rezone two lots from light industrial and public and quasi-public use to permit medium-density residences. The lot zoned for public use is owned by the province, but is now considered surplus land that will be purchased by Cross if the rezoning goes through. As part of the project, the neighbourhood will also get pedestrian improvements, said director of development and engineering services Marvin Kwiatkowski.
Kirkwood’s court date set for Dec. 8 From A1
Lorie Williston, president of Black Press B.C. North told KTW last month that Kirkwood is no longer employed with the company. When asked if Kirkwood left Black Press voluntarily or was let go, Williston, would only say, “At this point, I can only say he is
no longer an employee of Black Press.” A stalwart of the community, Kirkwood emerged as one of the personalities in what was dubbed Firestorm 2003 as the destructive McLure fire swept through the valley. Kirkwood spent 26 years with the Barriere Volunteer Fire Department, 23 of those as chief.
He joined Black Press in 1999 and served almost all of his 17 years as publisher of the two North Thompson Valley newspapers. Kirkwood is scheduled to appear in Kamloops court on Dec. 8. His access to the Internet and children is restricted as part of his release on a promise to appear.

Cross would be responsible for building a tree-lined sidewalk at the edge of its property, while the city would pitch in to connect the walkway to what has been built in front of other nearby developments to the east. Cross believes there’s much more room for rental units in the Kamloops market. “I just see a lot of demand for it,” he said. “It’s a sector in the economy that on the whole isn’t well addressed.” The rental vacancy rate in Kamloops is below two per cent.

McLeod, who supports Erin O’Toole for the leadership, said she disagrees with that approach. “I mean, how do you screen for values?” she asked. “And Canada has a good history of accommodation and everyone benefitting from our coming together. You look at Kamloops itself and relationships with the different cultural communities have been a significant asset for our community as a whole.” Milobar said it’s difficult to predict what a Trump presidency will mean for the country or B.C., but noted the election is another reminder of the power of individual voters and the room for error within polls. “It looked like a Clinton victory, but it was only a few percentage points ahead,” he said. “When you’re talking relatively tight races in some of the states, a few people can really make a big difference. “I think you see the same thing provincially, too. Riding by riding, the polls can say one thing, but it really comes down to getting out and supporting the candidate you would like to support.”
TRU dean says U.S. will be constrained in planned trade action From A1
Consenheim said he wasn’t fielding calls from anxious investors on the morning after Trump’s victory. He credited the slight uptick in markets for the day, after being down heavily in overnight trading, to a gracious victory speech by Trump — one he wondered if the president-elect wrote himself. “The approach was very soft,” Consenheim said. “He said the right things.” Venture Kamloops executive director Jim Anderson said potential tariffs on softwood lumber “already weighed heavy on the horizon,” noting the election of Trump and his anti-free trade rhetoric makes that horizon even more unsettled. “What does he think about softwood lumber?” Anderson said. “That’s the No. 1 question.” Kamloops Chamber of Commerce president Ryan Scorgie said uncertainty always arises when new governments are elected, but added the Republican sweep with the erratic reality TV star at the helm makes it far more uncertain.
“We could see big changes in foreign policy and trade,” Scorgie said. Another major export from the Interior to the United States is B.C. beef. Kevin Boon, executive director of B.C. Cattlemen’s Association, called any talk about opening the North American Free Trade Agreement “worrisome.” Nearly 50 per cent of Canadian beef that leaves the country goes to the U.S. But Boon said unilateral action by the Trump government could bring penalties under World Trade Organization rules. TRU’s Henry said, despite the Republican sweep, the United States will be constrained in trade action by its massive debt — much of which is owed to Chinese interests. While he doubts globalization will be turned around or even slowed much, Henry said one of the lessons of the evening is governments have ignored their own people harmed by open markets through loss of industrial jobs to developing countries. “Maybe there’s a lesson for us in Canada as we enter into major trade agreements,” Henry said.

Police say they have seized a dark-coloured Jeep found in the driveway of a Dufferin home on Monday and identified the vehicle’s operator. Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said investigators are working to determine whether the SUV was involved in a hitand-run collision in Aberdeen on Friday, Nov. 4, that killed a 16-year-old girl. Jennifer Gatey died after being struck by a vehicle at about 6:45 p.m. while walking to a bus stop on Pacific Way. The South Kamloops secondary student was one day shy of her 17th birthday. “The one vehicle we were looking at yesterday [Nov. 7], forensic identification has seized the vehicle and
is looking at it,” Shelkie told KTW. Shelkie said investigators have been in contact with the person who drives the Jeep. “I know they have spoken to the person who is controlling the Jeep,” she said. If forensic investigators are able to link the Jeep to the hit and run, Shelkie said, the next step would be to determine who was behind

the wheel at the time. “We’d have to know that it was involved in the hit and run and then, from there, determine who was driving it,” she said. The day after Gatey’s death, police released photos of a vehicle believed to be connected to the hit-and-run. The photos were taken from video surveillance at a house in the neighbourhood.

Probation follows bizarre actions by accused STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Kamloops man who broke into the home of two sleeping friends and used one of their hands to hit himself in the face will spend the next 18 months on probation.

The officer spoke to the man, who was Dhaliwal, and learned he was under court conditions. He was charged with breach. On Dec. 31, Dhaliwal showed up at another friend’s house and boasted about having choked his girlfriend. Court heard he said her body was in the trunk and wasn’t sure what to do with it. Dhaliwal ended up in a fight and eventually drove home. Police approached him at his Upper College Heights apartment and asked about his girlfriend. “He started laughing,” Murphy said. “He appeared to be high on drugs and his breath smelled like liquor.” Murphy wanted Dhaliwal sent to jail for the bizarre crime spree, but defence lawyer Sheldon Tate pushed for

Court heard Dhaliwal referenced that while hitting himself with one of the man’s hands. “Mr. Dhaliwal was saying, ‘You’re saying I’m not your friend anymore and, if you don’t like me, why don’t you hit me?’” Murphy said. Dhaliwal was arrested six days after the incident and put on conditions requiring him to abstain from drinking. Murphy said he first breached that condition on June 13, when a passerby outside the

NO-SHOW WAS IN BAD FORM
A
true leader — a person made of presidential stuff — does not leave her shell-shocked supporters standing before an empty stage, literally speechless. Not liking what she saw on the U.S. federal election scoreboard Tuesday night, Hillary Clinton picked up her ball and went home, leaving one of her handlers to tell her dejected followers in New York City to do likewise. Election night was the time for the Democrat leader to speak to the people who fought for her presidency for long months and years. Waiting until morning just doesn’t cut it. President-elect Donald Trump’s victory speech can only be described as surprisingly noble, at least until it started to sound like he was accepting an Oscar. Much was said during this horribly uncivil election campaign about who is fit to lead a great nation like the United States and about who is possessed of a president’s temperament — and who is not. Much was said, in speculation, about how Trump would respond to what almost every pundit predicted to be his imminent defeat at the polls on Tuesday. Clinton, in defeat, could have made the speech of her life in the wee hours of Wednesday morning. She could have tried to build bridges, as she often spoke of during her campaign. Now, that would have been a legacy. One from the heart, for the history books. Sleeping it off, to make a speech the following morning, is not what good leaders do. Good leaders rise to difficult occasions, especially on the world stage. Clinton could have shone. Instead, she disappeared when her supporters needed her most — and, in the process, gave Trump an even larger public spotlight.

hat to say? Frankly, words fail me right now, so I’d like to use this column space for the words of others. They come from a Facebook group to which I belong. The question posed on the day after Donald Trump was elected to be the next president of the U.S. was this: What did you tell your children about last night and how do we move forward? One mom, responding to her daughter’s text that she hates a girl wearing a Trump shirt, replied: “There’s enough hate in the world. I’m gonna work on putting out more love. I know it’s hard and I know you’re hurting like I am. But one of the things that I try to teach all of you is to treat others with respect and kindness, even when we don’t necessarily agree with them. That is a terribly difficult thing to do in situations like this, but we are hypocrites if we act just like they do.” A teacher wrote: “I told my students who asked what do we do now, that what we do is stand up for what we know is right. We protest the things we know are wrong. We have to live with what has been decided and we have to work together to make the world a better place.” Here are some other samplings: • “I told my daughters and my sons-in-law that we aren’t

LEVEL done yet and that the people who were manipulated by cheap tricks into voting for Donald Trump may not be bigots — just hurt, sad people who have been ignored by the party they, ironically, have voted back into power. We need to remember them as we work hard in our own communities to protect the climate, help the mentally ill, house the homeless and encourage critical thinking. • “I told them a lot of people in the country were and are still afraid and made decisions based on that fear, whether it’s fear of someone different, fear of being hurt, fear of losing a job, fear of not being heard. We all have the right to vote and we need to respect the outcome, even when we don’t like it. It’s our responsibility to learn as much as we can about the issues to make a good choice, not a choice based on being afraid. And it’s up to us to help all of our country be less afraid by being kind, being respectful, standing up for those who need
support, listening and letting all sides have a chance to talk.” • “My 10-year-old burst out crying as soon as I told her. I told her that our everyday life is not going to change and just to continue to be herself. I told her that there are still many, many people who are kind and believe in love and respect for everyone. I told her not to be afraid and I told her that just because he won doesn’t mean she can’t be anything she wants. We will have a woman president one day soon.” • “I told them that today we still hold our heads up high, continue to be kind, love each other and think about their destiny. They are more than any names anyone could call them. I believe in them and the world both young and old believes in them. Never stop fighting for what’s important to them and never let anyone tell them that they can’t be something, including me.” • “I simply said this: I told them to choose kindness, to stand up for the weak and most vulnerable. To protect those who need it the most. To think about Trump’s words and actions and to do better and expect better. They knew I was as confused and concerned as they were and I think that’s OK, as long as they know that there are people that will look out for us, just like we will look out for others.” dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

In those instances, First Nations, local governments and citizen groups are playing an important role in ensuring proper scrutiny of project risks. In my view, the city is taking the most responsible approach by clearly identifying the risks and ensuring all parties, including proponent KGHM Ajax, understand the full cost and appropriate responsibilities of all players if the project moves forward. At the end of the day, the federal and provincial agencies will move onto the next project, while three governments (City of Kamloops, Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn first nations and Thompson-Nicola Regional District) will be left to live in the community with the outcome.

WAKE UP TO THE REALITIES OF HOMELESS LIFE Editor: I was pleased to read the Nov. 1 story in KTW (‘Coldweather shelters offering nightly housing’) that the city’s homeless will now have a dry, warm place to sleep every night for the next five months. Thank you to the many people involved in assisting in these programs. Thank you for believing these folks deserve to have the choice of shelter every night, not just when the temperature drops below -3 C.
They deserve dignity and respect as much as anybody else and should have equal access to resources, just like people with residential addresses. Sadly, this is not the case. When a person does not have an address, they are not eligible for assistance and they are excluded from accessing resources that could enhance their well-being. There is widespread belief these people have made poor choices, which is why they have ended up on the streets.
These judgmental neo-conservative views are so outdated. It is time people wake up. Please open your minds and get educated to some of the real reasons our most vulnerable citizens are suffering, usually with very little hope things will ever get better for them. Stop being sheep, people, and think outside of the box. Stop believing everything you are told or perhaps question your ideologies and examine from where they have come. Think of who is doing the
telling of someone else’s story as it is not their story to tell. Don’t assume all people who live on the streets are raging drug addicts — because they are not. Think of how many people without homes you are not seeing because they are on someone’s couch. Think of getting involved and making a positive difference. Dayle Lynes Kamloops

New species of tick found in province CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A new species of bacteria that can cause Lyme disease has been found in ticks on dogs and, in one case, on a child in B.C. The B.C. Centre
for Disease Control (BCCDC) reported the finding this week to the public and medical community. The species is closely related to Borrelia mayonii, which previously was only known to be in the midwest-

ern United States. Borrelia mayonii is a newly discovered species of bacteria that can cause Lyme disease in people. The tick that carried the new species is found in B.C., including in the ThompsonOkanagan. While the finding is a scientific curiosity, Dr. Eleni Galanis, a physician-epidemiologist with the BCCDC, said it is considered a low risk due to its rarity. Neither the child in the Central Interior, nor the two dogs in the Lower Mainland, have shown signs or symp-
toms of Lyme disease since having the ticks removed. “We don’t know why it emerged here in B.C,” Galanis said, adding it may have been transported by bird or animal or emerged independently. Ticks that carry the typical bacteria that
may cause Lyme disease are found in the Thompson Valley. But this area is not considered a high risk for acquiring the disease. The highest risk areas are in Greater Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. The BCCDC said
less than one per cent of ticks tested in B.C. carry bacteria that can cause Lyme disease. The prevalence of Lyme-causing bacteria in B.C. ticks has remained consistently low. There were 20 cases of Lyme disease reported in B.C. in 2015, a number that is flat. That contrasts to parts of eastern North America, which are seeing an increase. The B.C. Centre for Disease Control also wants physicians to be aware of the new bacteria because it can cause symptoms
different than other Lyme disease-carrying bacteria. The B. mayonii bacteria that causes Lyme disease results in symptoms that include a high fever, generalized rash as well as nausea and vomiting. “We wanted to be public because we wanted people to know our testing is working well . . . and it’s a good idea to take precautions,” Galanis said. “We also wanted to inform the medical community.” About 1,000 ticks are tested every year in B.C.

A former provincial kickboxing champion is facing a prison sentence as long as seven years after being caught with a loaded sawed-off shotgun and a small amount of heroin. Kyle Walsh was found guilty last month of possession of a prohibited firearm and possession of heroin for the purpose of trafficking. RCMP were called to the Fountain Motel in downtown Kamloops in
February of last year for a report of a man with a firearm. Walsh was arrested outside, where his car was parked at the rear of the motel. Inside his car, police found a loaded sawedoff Mossberg shotgun. His lawyer, Jay Michi, made an unsuccessful Charter argument that police had no right to search Walsh because it was not obvious he was connected to the incident inside the motel. Walsh, a 27-year-old red seal ironworker, has a criminal record that

A passenger who assaulted an unsuspecting cabbie has escaped a jail sentence after a provincial court judge ruled societal condemnation does not require a stay at Kamloops Regional Correctional Centre. Kyle Martin Ferguson was convicted of assault for the incident that occurred in January. He said during sentencing he doesn’t remember what happened during the early-morning assault. Following trial, judge Stella Frame found Ferguson
punched cabbie Marty Tazelaar, who was substituting for a regular driver as a favour. The sentencing judge said she found Ferguson’s behaviour during the incident “peculiar and disturbing” — including with Mounties who arrested him. Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo asked for 21 days in jail, arguing cabbies are vulnerable people. He also noted an incident in August in Kamloops in which a cabbie was stabbed by a fare. “When it involves a vulnerable person like a cabbie or bus driver, it’s an aggravating factor,” Caputo said.

for a seven-year jail term, calling the incident “on the extreme range of seriousness.” Walsh’s defence lawyer asked for a four-anda-half year jail sentence. Walsh has been diagnosed with anti-social personality traits and may also suffer from post-concussive trauma as a result of his kickboxing matches. “He goes from job and family to a ‘snap’ — and then finds himself back in an offending pattern,” Michi said. He is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 25.
Marshall Putnam, the articling student who represented Ferguson, asked for a conditional discharge with a period of probation. A criminal record, he said, would cause the chef who works three jobs at times to lose his employment at a casino. The 29-year old supports two children and a spouse. Putnam presented a series of letters from people who vouched for Ferguson’s character. He has no criminal record and has since stopped drinking alcohol. “The only reason I pleaded not guilty is because I don’t remember anything about that
night,” Ferguson told Frame. “I’m still trying to comprehend what I did.” Frame said she needed to consider both societal condemnation for an attack on a vulnerable person weighed against Ferguson’s future and his family life. He told her he would lose his job and home if he could no longer work at the casino. Frame gave Ferguson a conditional discharge, meaning he will escape a criminal record. But she also imposed 18 months of probation, including 60 days of house arrest. During that probation, Ferguson cannot hail a Kami cab and cannot drink alcohol.

Walsh has a girlfriend and is a stepfather to two young girls. He has successful periods of work, but said his life spiralled downward after he was stabbed in a random incident. “The stabbing was the catalyst to my downfall,” he told Loo. “The morphine at the hospital started me injecting heroin.” He said he carried the shotgun because he was in a drug-induced paranoia.

Loblaw wins wine-licence auction COMPANY THAT RUNS TWO KAMLOOPS GROCERY STORES WON’T SAY IF CITY IS IN WINE-SELLING PLANS CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
Loblaw Companies Ltd. has the right to roll out the next six B.C. speciality wine stores. But the company has declined to detail its proposed locations, other than its first store, which will be in Surrey. Loblaw, which operates Real Canadian Superstore and Your Independent Grocer in Kamloops, won six auctions by the B.C. Liquor Control and Licensing Branch.
That follows earlier successful auction bids by rival SaveOn-Foods. Overwaitea Food Group successfully waged a battle at city hall in Kamloops to allow it to sell B.C. VQA wine at its Sahali Save-On-Foods store. “We are excited to be able to offer our customers in B.C. access to great, local wines in six of our stores, beginning with our South Surrey Real Canadian Superstore in mid-November,” the company told KTW in an email. Loblaw said it will have wine
in six stories by March, but would not name other locations. The company will require a variance from city council if it intends to bring the offering to Kamloops. In August 2015, city council created a bylaw in response to the province’s decision to allow sales of B.C. VQA wine in grocery stores. The bylaw prohibits new alcohol sales within one kilometre of existing liquor stores, unless granted permission by council through a variance.
Correction North Shore Business Improvement Association executive director Steven Puhallo is one of three candidates running for the B.C. Liberal nomination in Kamloops-North Thompson. An incorrect name appeared in an article in an article on page A11 in the Nov. 7 edition of KTW (‘Liberals prepping for 2017 election’).

Certain musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions have a hard time healing due to the development of unhealthy, disorganized tissue in the area of injury. Over time, this dysfunctional tissue limits the body’s ability to repair and heal itself. Research has shown Shockwave Therapy to be highly effective in treating musculoskeletal and orthopedic conditions by stimulating the body’s own natural healing response. Radial pressure waves, commonly called Shock Wave Therapy, is an excellent treadment consideration for these chronic conditions.

November arrives with record-breaking warmth November has been springlike through the first third of the month, with double-digit highs every day, spiking to a recordbreaking 21.5 C on Tuesday. Tuesday’s high shattered the previous record for warmest Nov. 8 in Kamloops, which was 15.5 C in 1980. The mark of 21.5 C also came within striking distance of the warmest November day ever recorded in Kamloops, which was 23.3 C in 1975, according to
Environment Canada data. In addition, Tuesday’s high temperature surpassed the high mark on 11 days in the summer months of June, July and August. The average temperature so far this month has been 15.9 C, which is well above the historical average of 6 C. In November 2015, the average temperature for the month was 4.2 C, with the warmest day being Nov. 1, at 13.2 C. Below-zero highs arrived on
Nov. 25 and remained there into December. Environment Canada is calling for sun and clouds through the weekend and into next week, with double-digit highs expected to drop to 9 C on Monday and 8 C on Tuesday. The Weather Network’s 14-day forecast for Kamloops is calling for the mercury to dip as the month progresses, with highs of 2 C expected by Nov. 19.

City looks at options other than bylaw court ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The City of Kamloops could ditch bylaw court as it looks for quicker and cheaper ways to settle fine disputes with residents. Bylaw services manager John Ramsay said an ongoing service review of the department will look at the pros and cons of moving to arbitration rather than court to deal with outstanding fines. Ramsay said the number of people taken to court by the city each year is low — an annual report for 2015 shows only 27 tickets disputed, with more than half resolved out of court — but the process requires multiple court appearances, which can be a burden for both sides. “It’s not only a lengthy process for the city to go through that, but it’s costly for the individual involved because they usually have to miss a couple days of work,” he said.
There are some limitations should the city move to arbitration, Ramsay said. While the city can charge up to $2,000 in fines using the bylaw court system, it would be limited to fines of $500 or less under arbitration. Ramsay noted in many cases the city is taking residents to court for far less than the $2,000 threshold. The city’s worst parking violators, for instance, tend to only have six to 10 outstanding tickets — a maximum of about $400 in fines. Compare that to Regina, where media reports last year showed owners of five vehicles each owed more than $20,000 in tickets. “To be honest with you, a lot of people in Kamloops do pay their tickets,” Ramsay said. “People take responsibility for what they’ve done. We do get people complaining to us, but it’s a small minority.” The bylaw services review will continue into 2017.

Outsider Trump earns stunning Clinton urges win to be 45th president of the U.S. an‘open mind’ CONCESSION
JULIE PACE
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump claimed his place yesterday as America’s 45th president, an astonishing victory for the celebrity businessman and political novice who capitalized on voters’ economic anxieties, took advantage of racial tensions and overcame a string of sexual assault allegations on his way to the White House. Trump’s triumph over Hillary Clinton, not declared until well after midnight, will end eight years of Democratic
dominance of the White House. Trump will govern with Congress fully under Republican control and lead a country deeply divided by his rancorous campaign against Clinton. He faces fractures within his own party, too, given the numerous Republicans who either tepidly supported his nomination or never backed him at all. As he claimed victory, Trump urged Americans to “come together as one united people.’’ Clinton, who had hoped to
become the first woman to be elected president, called her Republican rival to concede but did not plan to speak publicly until yesterday morning. She was leading the nationwide popular vote, though some states were still counting ballots. Global stock markets and U.S. stock futures plunged early yesterday, but later recovered, reflecting investor concern over what a Trump presidency might mean. The Dow Jones industrial average was flat after trading opened yesterday.
President Barack Obama called Trump to congratulate him and invited the Republican to a meeting at the White House today to discuss transition. Obama also called Clinton to convey his admiration for the “strong campaign she waged throughout the country,’’ White House spokesman Josh Earnest said. Trump, who spent much of the campaign urging his supporters on as they chanted “lock her up,’’ said the nation owed Clinton “a major debt of gratitude’’ for her years of public service.

after upset loss THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Hillary Clinton told supporters yesterday that they owed Donald Trump “an open mind and a chance to lead.’’ Addressing stricken staff and voters at a New York City hotel, Clinton urged acceptance of Trump’s stunning win after a campaign that appeared poised until Election Day to make her the first woman elected U.S. president. Clinton said she had offered to work with Trump on behalf of a country that she acknowledged “more deeply divided than we thought.’’ Flanked by husband Bill Clinton and daughter Chelsea Clinton Mezvinsky, Clinton’s voice vibrated with emotion at times, especially as acknowledged that she had not “shattered that highest and hardest glass ceiling.’’ Clinton then made a direct plea to “all the little girls’’ watching. “Never doubt that you are valuable and powerful and deserving of every opportunity in the world and chance to pursue your dreams,’’ she said.

Trudeau says he’ll work with Trump
of Kamloops
Canada’s prime minister sent president-elect congratulations following win ROB GILLIES
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
TORONTO — Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau vowed yesterday to work “very closely’’ with president-elect Donald Trump. The Liberal prime minister told students at an event in Ottawa that he will work with Trump not just for Canadians “but for the whole world.’’ He earlier offered his congratulations in a statement and said Canada has no closer ally and partner than the U.S.
But Trudeau’s openness to trade, refugees and the environment stands in stark contrast to Trump. Of particular concern to Canada is Trump’s vow to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement. A spokeswoman for Trudeau said the prime minister would not be taking questions from the media yesterday. Trudeau told the students he sees a message in the election. Trump awakened a movement of angry workingclass voters.
“The fact is, we’ve heard clearly from Canadians and from Americans that people want a shared shot at success,’’ Trudeau said. “We share a purpose, our two countries, where we want to build places where the middle class and those working hard to join it have a chance.’’ A positive for Canada could be the eventual approval of the Keystone XL pipeline from Alberta to the U.S. Gulf Coast. President Obama nixed it but Trump supports the
pipeline but has said he wants a share of the profits. The Canadian government confirmed yesterday the website for Citizenship and Immigration Canada became temporarily inaccessible Tuesday night as a result of a significant increase in the volume of traffic as election returns favoured Trump. Internet searches for “move to Canada’’ and “immigrate to Canada’’ spiked Tuesday night and “Canada’’ was a leading U.S. trend on Twitter, with more than 1 million tweets.

Seven ways Canada could feel Trump aftershock THE CANADIAN PRESS
WASHINGTON — When an unpredictable nationalist gets elected to lead the globe’s biggest superpower, the political shockwaves from the ground-shaking event will inevitably be felt by the next-door neighbour. Donald Trump’s

“I think any agreement can be improved,’’ said David MacNaughton, the country’s ambassador to Washington. “If they want to have a discussion about improving NAFTA, then we’re ready to come to the table.’’ He cited one example of something he’d like to see added to the deal — softwood lumber, a perennial trade irritant.
Oil pipelines
A Canadian pipeline company already says it’s hoping to chat with the administration. Trump has said he favours construction of the Keystone XL pipeline, killed by President Barack Obama. His campaign literature suggested he’d invite TransCanada Corp. to reapply for a permit. Then again, he’s made difficult-to-decipher comments about demanding a larger share of the profits for the U.S.; American companies and local governments always stood to profit from it.
Refugees
Trudeau differs dramatically with Trump here. Trudeau went to the airport to welcome refugees from Syria. Trump refers to them as a Trojan horse. His son even tweeted a comparison to a bowl of Skittles, where only one bad one can kill you. This issue could be connected to national security, and therefore potentially the border. Thinning the border to facilitate trade is a huge priority for Canada. It’s far from certain a Trump administration would be keen on more refugees next door.
Brain-poaching possibilities
The Citizenship and Immigration Canada website was groaning under the weight of heavy traffic Tuesday night. Even before the election, CNBC reported that the number of Americans searching for jobs in Canada had increased a whopping 58 per cent since last year on the jobs-post-
ing platform Monster Worldwide. The Canadian government did little Tuesday to dispel the idea that it welcomes a northbound braindrain, tweeting the following message (it had been previously scheduled, a spokesperson said) as election results rolled in: “In Canada, immigrants are encouraged to bring their cultural traditions with them and share them.’’ Young, collegeeducated Americans like those who populate Silicon Valley are among the most hostile to Trump.
Defence
Spending levels could become an irritant. Trump has threatened to leave allies to their own devices if they fail to meet the agreed-upon NATO target of spending two per cent of GDP on the military. Canada is nowhere close and recently said it has no current intention to get there. Here’s what Trump says about NATO allies: “The countries we are defending must pay for the cost of this defense and, if not, the U.S. must be prepared to let these countries defend themselves.’’
Bad Bromance?
Trudeau’s affection for the current president was obvious during their meetings. He’ll soon face a less-predictable interlocutor. Trudeau bit his tongue, mostly, during the campaign but did make clear his displeasure with Trump’s talk of a Muslim ban. Trudeau dedicated his first United Nations General Assembly speech to the danger of nationalist populism. Members of his government expressed concern privately about a Trump win. Now, they’ll be dealing with a president whose election drew a celebratory tweet from France’s National Front. A president whose default stance on trade irritants during the campaign was to vow punishment of trading partners.
CALGARY — TransCanada Corp. says it’s evaluating ways to engage the newly elected Donald Trump administration on the potential benefits of the Keystone XL pipeline. Company spokesman Mark Cooper said Wednesday that TransCanada remains fully committed to building the controversial project that U.S. President Barack Obama rejected last year. President-elect Trump has said he is in favour of the 1,900-kilometre pipeline, and invited TransCanada to reapply for approval as part of his platform.
THE CANADIAN PRESS
TORONTO — Canada’s biggest stock market rose while Wall Street hovered around record levels yesterday, as investors warmed to the idea that the victory of U.S. president-elect Donald Trump will be good news to business on both sides of the border. The optimistic tone helped push the resource-heavy S&P/TSX composite index higher by 103.07 points at 14,759.91, led by a strong rally in the gold, metals and materials sectors. The bounce in the stock market came as a surprise as most had been

TransCanada hopes to engage with Trump on Keystone pipeline
Last November, the Obama administration rejected Keystone XL, which would bring bitumen from Alberta’s oilsands to U.S. Gulf Coast refineries, deeming it not to be in the best national interest of the United States. In response, TransCanada has filed for NAFTA arbitration and is seeking $15 billion in damages, claiming the rejection was arbitrary and politically driven. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has supported the pipeline, while interim Conservative leader Rona Ambrose urged Trudeau in a statement yesterday to move quickly to push the project forward.
Stock markets warm to idea of Trump presidency
expecting a gloom and doom scenario if the brash billionaire clinched the White House over Democrat candidate Hillary Clinton. But at the open, the picture that emerged was one of cautious hope on Bay Street and Wall Street. “This is the best case scenario for how the markets are reacting,’’ said Kathryn Del Greco, a vice-president and investment adviser at TD Wealth. “We were certainly expecting — fearing — a significant sell-off in the market as a result of . . . a new president that is an unproven entity in political life. The market does not like uncertainty.’’

War memorials of Kamloops
M
emorials are dedicated to specific individuals or events in our shared history. Often, those events are wars that cost hundreds of thousands of lives. Local cenotaphs provide a place for communities to come together and honour those who sacrificed on our behalf. There are a number of memorials in Kamloops, including two in Memorial Hill Park, which sits downtown between Battle and St. Paul streets and Second and Third avenues The first was built in 1922 by students from Stuart Wood school in conjunction with the Imperial Order of the Daughters of the Empire. The cairn was constructed in memory of the 192 students who served in the Great War (1914 to 1918), the majority of whom did not return. A second bronze plaque was added to honour the students who sacrificed themselves during the Second World War (1939 to 1945). The second and the larger of the two memorials is the Kamloops Cenotaph. It was unveiled in May 24, 1925, and was the result of fundraising efforts by the Ladies’ Auxiliary to the Great War Veteran’s Association and City of Kamloops. The cenotaph was originally dedicated to those who lost their lives during the Great War. It subsequently came to memorialize fallen soldiers from the Second World War, the Korean War (1950–1953) and the war in Afghanistan, whose names were added to the cenotaph. It served as the site of Armistice Day

and Remembrance Day activities until the 1990s. The third war memorial is Memorial Arena, at 740 Victoria St. The memorial was the result of a dozen community organizations banding together to form the District Memorial Recreation Centre Society. Through strong support by the community, including a number of successful raffles, the arena was dedicated on Remembrance Day in 1949. As attendance at Remembrance Day outgrew Memorial Hill Park, a group of veterans’ organizations jointly organized the construction of a memorial cairn at Riverside Park dedicated to all lives lost during Canada’s conflicts.
Constructed out of river rocks, the cairn was completed in 1997 and has since become the main site of Remembrance Day ceremonies in Kamloops. Another site is the Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc memorial across from St. Joseph’s Church that honours band members who died in Canada’s wars. Sourcing information from the public, Heritage BC has recently created an interactive map of war memorials in the province, which includes many of the memorials in Kamloops. For each memorial site, the map features photographs, a location and a short description. Heritage BC continues to solicit submissions from the public for memorial sites to expand the map. The strong community support and initiative in building these memorials makes clear the profound impacts these events had on the national, local and international level. There was hardly a Canadian community unaffected by these events. In Kamloops, as in many other communities, people felt compelled to memorialize their fallen, to start the search for answers and to give grieving communities a place where they could lay wreaths, commemorate and start public and private healing. Continued support for projects like the cenotaph restoration by community members, businesses and the city underscores the importance to our community of remembering those who gave their lives in service.

Blazers talk Trump MARTY HASTINGS STAFF REPORTER sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
here are no Americans on the Kamloops Blazers’ roster, but the local WHL squad spends plenty of time across the line and team members were paying attention to the U.S. election on Tuesday. KTW went to Sandman Centre yesterday morning seeking opinions on the matter. “I think it’s pretty crazy,” Blazers’ forward Nick Chyzowski said. “It almost seemed like a joke and then it actually became reality. “Maybe Trump targeted all those people that maybe weren’t as smart as the rest of America. Maybe that was a strategy he used.” Blazers’ trainer Colin (Toledo) Robinson has his finger on the pulse of the team. “I heard one of our players talking today and one of them said, ‘Well, it’s not like he’s a dic-
tator,’ and another guy says, ‘Hey, wake up. Hitler didn’t start off as a dictator, either.’ I just can’t see it going too far that way,” said Robinson, who was surprised at Trump’s margin of victory. “On the positive side of things, the U.S. economy is really hurting. I think he might be the right person to get that side of it going and that will make America better.” Kamloops’ next game across the border is scheduled for Nov. 18, when the Tri-City Americans play host to the Blazers in Kennewick, Wash. “I was talking to one of my buddies who plays on Tri-City and he’s a bit worried,” Blazers’ goaltender Dylan Ferguson said. “He doesn’t know what’s going to happen. “My billet mom was talking about the dollar changing. I wonder if the league is going to have to do something about that.” Of the Blazers who spoke to KTW, none had any serious concerns about upcoming trips to

the United States. “I think the media has blown it up a little bit,” Blazers’ defenceman Dawson Davidson said. “It’s almost like they think the world is going to end now that Trump’s in. Life will go on. “It’s one person. It’s not like the country changes overnight.” Kamloops captain Collin Shirley was asked if he considered Trump’s behaviour to be presidential. “Not at all,” Shirley said. “You look at a guy like Obama. He was a respectful guy. Look at Donald Trump, I don’t think people get the same picture at all. “The guys in the room howled at some of the stuff he [Trump] was saying but, at the end of the day, it’s disrespectful and the stuff about racism is long gone and should be long gone.” Chyzowski will be keeping track of developments down south when Trump is sworn into office in January. “When we go next, I don’t think the changes will be that

dramatic that quickly but, through the next year and a bit, I’m sure we’ll start seeing some things,” Chyzowski said.
Sideroff, Ingram return
Goaltender Connor Ingram and forward Deven Sideroff of the Kamloops Blazers played for Team WHL in a pair of CIBC Canada-Russia Series games earlier this week. Elite junior hockey players from the WHL, OHL and QMJHL are pitted against some of Russia’s best in the six-game showcase series, which doubles as a proving ground for national-team hopefuls ahead of the World Junior Hockey Championship. Team WHL notched three third-period goals en route to a 4-1 triumph over the Russians on Tuesday in Edmonton. Everett Silvertips’ goaltender Carter Hart made 33 saves between the pipes of Team WHL. Sideroff was held off the scoresheet. Denis Alexeev scored in over-

time to give Russia a 3-2 victory over Team WHL in Game 1 in Prince George on Monday. Ingram stopped 18 shots in a losing effort. Sideroff had one assist. Both Blazers returned to Kamloops yesterday and will be available for tomorrow’s game against the Prince Albert Raiders. Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre. Invitations will be issued for the final Team Canada selection camp on Nov. 29. The camp will run from Dec. 11 to Dec. 15 in Blainville, Que. TSN hockey analyst Bob McKenzie on Hart and Ingram: “Barring unforeseen developments, they are expected to be Team Canada’s tandem.” McKenzie said the right-wing position for Team Canada is a wide-open slate and many, including Sideroff, are in with a shot of cracking the team. The OHL and Russia will square off tonight in Game 3 of the Canada-Russia Series.

SABRES SILVER IN VERNON
THREE-TIME DEFENDING CHAMPIONS UNSEATED BY SEATON ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Sa-Hali Sabres tried to put things in perspective — they had qualified for the AA boys’ provincial soccer championship. But the Okanagan Valley championship would be leaving Kamloops for the first time in three years and that was a tough pill to swallow. The Sabres lost to the W.L. Seaton Sonics in the championship final of the Okanagan Valley Senior AA Boys’ Soccer Championship in Vernon on the weekend, falling 2-1 to the hometown club. And, while Sa-Hali captured one of two berths at the B.C. AA playdowns in Burnaby from Nov. 21 to Nov. 23 — Seaton took the other — it wasn’t in the manner the Kamloops club had hoped. “They were happy that they had made provincials, but they were definitely upset,” said Mary Bartucci, who has coached the Sabres boys for 18 years, leading the club to three consecutive Okanagan titles from 2013 to 2015, provincial silver medals the last two seasons and a B.C. title in 2010. “They’re very close with the guys that have graduated and they know the last few years we’ve been successful. So they kind of felt like they let the older guys, and themselves, down a little bit,” she said. Sa-Hali seemed destined to capture its fourth consecutive Okanagan title in Vernon, winning pool games against Lake Country’s George Elliot Coyotes 5-0 and Vernon’s Kalamalka Lakers 3-1. The Sabres were the only team to win both their round-robin games in regulation time and they went on to defeat Penticton’s Princess Margaret Mustangs 1-0 in a Saturday semifinal. In the championship game, as a nil-nil draw dragged into extra time, the Sabres broke

the deadlock, scoring with roughly three minutes remaining. But a late free kick allowed the Sonics to again tie the game. Sa-Hali lost the contest in penalty kicks. “They were kind of beat up, we were kind of beat up,” Bartucci said. “I felt we had more of the possession, to be honest. We had multiple chances, couldn’t put it away. We scored in the dying minutes of overtime and then they got a free kick with literally 10 seconds left and it deflected off one of our players and went in to tie. Then we went into the shootout and I think nerves just kicked in at that point and so we lost the shootout.” Bartucci’s squad is a young one and its nerves, at times, showed that youth throughout the zone

WRAP playdown. But the Sabres also have talent. They showed well against AAA teams throughout the season and Bartucci said playing in a pressure-packed zone final will only help Sa-Hali at the 16-team provincial championship later this month. “The potential to play very well is there, it’s just a matter of whether the nerves kick in or not,” she said. “We had been fairly successful up to that point. To lose a game at this point is kind of a good wake-up call for us.” The Valleyview Vikes also played at the zone championship, but

The Valleyview Vikes finished third in the 27th annual Fulton Maroons Senior Girls’ Invitational volleyball tournament on the weekend, finishing the event with a 2-1 record.

The Westsyde Whundas, meanwhile, went 1-1, losing to the Seaton Sonics and topping the Panthers to finish fifth.

Rattlers capture lacrosse gold The Kamloops Rattlers made the most of championship weekend in the Tournament Capital, capping off the Interior Field Lacrosse League season with championship titles in under-18, U15 and U13 action. The Rattlers qualified teams for the provincial championship in all three age groups, the only divisions in which teams move on from league play to provincial tournaments. Kamloops’ U18 squad capped its 8-3 regular season with a dominant semifinal victory against the North Okanagan Legends and an 11-10 finals win against the Penticton Heat.
The U15 club, meanwhile, finished the regular season with 11 wins and three losses and drubbed the Heat in the semifinals of the playoffs, 13-2. In the final, Kamloops doubled up on North Okanagan, winning 16-8. The U13 Rattlers also captured a provincial berth after an undefeated regular season culminated in a 9-3 overtime victory against Penticton in the championship final on McArthur Island.

Blazers impress in Windy City invitational tourney The Kamloops Blazers played in the biggest hockey tournament in the world last week, travelling to Chicago for the Bauer World Invitational. The Windy City tournament included teams from around the world. Kamloops was the only Canadian city in its division — Elite U12 — and the smallest city in the tournament. The Blazers opened the tournament with an 8-3 victory over the Arizona Bobcats and played to a tie against the New Jersey Rockets, 3-3. The Blazers closed out the round-robin with a heartbreaking loss to Boston, 5-4. In the playoffs, Kamloops took on Krivo, the Slovakian national team, losing 3-1 to be eliminated from title contention. Carter Streek (4G, 3A), Matt Ward (4G, 2A) and Hudson Cameron (2G, 4A) led the club, which finished in the top 16, on the scoresheet.

CANADA WEST
NEW WESTMINSTER — Canada West, B2ten and Rugby Canada announced the launch of a rugby sevens pilot project yesterday, which will bring the sport to six institutions in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association. Beginning in January 2017, the Canada West Women’s
Canada will include scholarship opportunities for players at all six competing institutions. “The launch of the Canada West Women’s Rugby Sevens Series is a fantastic initiative that will see tremendous growth of female sevens players,” said Rugby Canada CEO Allen Vansen. “The competition will provide a new pathway to our national sevens pro-
opportunity to pursue their university studies in Canada,” said B2ten’s Dominick Gauthier. “We are pleased to join Rugby Canada, the participating universities and Canada West in support of women’s rugby sevens, a sport we believe Canada is well suited to challenge for gold in at the Olympic Games.” Through joint support, B2ten and Rugby
University of British Columbia, University of Calgary, University of the Fraser Valley, University of Lethbridge and University of Victoria. The three-year pilot project is part of B2ten’s ongoing mandate to help in the development of elite Canadian athletes. “This initiative builds a pathway to the sevens national team while offering student-athletes the
Rugby Sevens Series will provide Canadian female student-athletes with the opportunity to pursue the game of rugby sevens while studying in Canada. The project, which will include joint funding from B2ten and Rugby Canada, will see the creation of a three-tournament rugby sevens series involving six universities — the University of Alberta,
grams and will act as a great development tool for players.” The Canada West Women’s Rugby Seven Series opens Jan. 21 in Edmonton, as the Alberta Pandas host the inaugural event. The Vikes and Thunderbirds will host tournaments
at the University of Victoria (Feb. 4) and University of British Columbia (Feb. 18), respectively. The winner of the series will be crowned following its final tournament of the series, as determined by cumulative series points.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Dana Davies
Dana Davies of Kamloops, BC, passed away on October 28, 2016 at 68 years of age. She is survived by her loving partner Brian Avery and her daughter Erin Torry of Kamloops, BC, brothers and sisters: Marina Davies, Lloyd (Janet) Davies and Allan Davies, nieces and nephews: Maralee (Jeff) Webber, Morgan (Emma) Webber, Melissa (Daniel) Page, Lidia (Derek) Davies, Brandon (Samantha) Davies, Trevor (Becky) Gorgichuk, great nieces and nephews: Darby, Adam, Jackson, Samuel, Angelina, Gabriel, William, Georgina, Olivia, Sullivan and Raegan. She was predeceased by her brother Grant Davies. When Dana was born on March 7, 1948, who could have imagined all the lives she would enrich and the many friends she would make in the too-short span of her life? Her love for others was reflected back at her and, as her life came to an end, on October 28, 2016, there was an outpouring of love for Dana. Dana was a social person who found it easy to make friends. Anyone who went shopping with her, had better be prepared for a long stay in the store. She usually met a friend or two and had long, long conversations. Sometimes, these conversations in person were not enough, and later in the day, she and her friends would spend an hour or two, or three, on the phone, catching up on what they did not cover earlier. Oh yes, she had the gift of gab, and was reputed to have the ability to talk to a post. Fortunate post. Dana spent her first 18 years in Peachland, BC, developing a great love for the town, lake, and local friends and relatives. On graduating from high school she attended college in Nelson. From there she moved to Calgary where she worked in Grace Hospital. Then she moved to Kamloops where she worked in a doctor’s office. Later she became a forester. The work was hard but there were moments she cherished, such as flying over the forests in a helicopter.
This summer Dana and her high school graduating class attended their fiftieth high school graduating class reunion in Peachland. That was one of the events that capped off a life well-lived. The gardens at her home looked better than they had for a few years, with plenty of geraniums, her favourite flowers. Two events at North Barriere Lake made this summer memorable. First, a gathering of friends was a happy event, as usual. Later there was a gathering of family members which turned out to be one of the best. We are left with memories of Dana. They are good memories, and will be shared over and over with friends and family in coming years. We shall begin with a Celebration of Dana’s Life in March, at the home where she lived in Kamloops for the last thirteen years with her partner, Brian Avery. This was Dana’s final wish. Please contact a family member if you wish to join in the sharing of memories. The family wishes to extend a special thank you to the medical staff at Royal Inland Hospital. There will be no other service, at Dana’s request. If you wish to honour her, please donate to a charity of your choice.
Many of Dana’s friends still live in Peachland. Among her good friends is a group that call themselves the

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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.

“Princeton Avenue Girls”. Whenever they met, it was a cue for their spouses to find sanctuary elsewhere, because it was “girl time”. The guys were not totally ignored, though, and would be cheerfully welcomed when they returned, after the “girls” had talked themselves out. Well, that never quite happened.

Wild roses were blooming when Elizabeth began her life on a prairie homestead in Patience, Alberta. Lib had a close and loving relationship with her parents Harry and Mabel, and her two sisters, Jaffrey and Patience. Life was not easy for many families after WWI and during the great Depression; Harry (a veteran) left the farm, while Mabel and the girls went back to England. After a brief sojourn there, and sadly leaving Jaffy to be raised by English relatives, Lib, with her younger sister Pay and mother, returned to Canada, to reside with Mabel’s brother Jack, in Woodbridge, Ontario. Lib received her education at St. Mildred’s College and developed a life-long interest in drawing and painting, a talent and gift bestowed by her mother. During WWII, Lib worked as a typist in a factory where the first Lancaster bomber was built, then trained in Occupational Therapy at the University of Toronto. It was while working as an OT at Queen Mary Veteran’s Hospital in Montreal that she met an eager young intern, Douglas Robert Hunter, who was immediately smitten by her beauty, gentle kindness and quick wit. They married May 14, 1949 and together they raised nine children. Lib was a devoted sister, wife and mother who always put the needs of others ahead of her own. While living in various Ontario communities, Lib was very busy raising their growing young family and supporting Doug through his medical career. They had many family camping and canoe trips in Ontario, which started their tradition of month-long summer holidays in August. Rising to the challenges of camping in those early days with small children and babies, cloth diapers and canvas tents, was a testament to their determination to pursue an adventurous lifestyle. In 1964, they moved the family to Kamloops, BC, where they continued enjoying an active life, square dancing, skiing, sailing, canoeing and hiking. Lib, ever resourceful, competently coordinated the increasingly complex family activities. Then, in 1974, pursuing a latent dream, Lib and Doug purchased Twin Creeks Ranch in Upper Hat Creek,
250-554-2577
where they worked side by side for almost twenty years raising beef cattle. Lib loved sharing chores and activities with family and neighbours in the beautiful mountain valley and it was during this time that she reconnected with her long lost father. Lib and Doug sold the ranch and retired to Kamloops, where they continued to square dance, paddle and cross-country ski into their late 80’s. She and Doug were familiar figures on the Stake Lake ski trails, on the Goose Lake Road or resting on their walkers nearer their home. Lib continued her daily walks until shortly before her death. Over the years, inspired by nature, Lib continued to draw and paint whenever she had the opportunity, and when blessed with grandchildren, wrote and illustrated treasured stories for them. During her final days, family gathered around Elizabeth, sharing their memories, singing, reading and returning a small portion of the love she so selflessly gave to all. Lib imbued in her children a love of camping and nature. Her acceptance of hardships in the pursuit of experiencing the beauty and freedom of the great outdoors remains very much alive in her family. Elizabeth is survived by her husband Douglas, sister Patience, children Helen (Rick), Robert (Ann-Marie), Chris (Marilynn), Richard (Susan), Paul (Jennifer), Mary (Bruce), Martha (Mark), Cynthia, and Patricia (Luciano), sixteen grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. Mum will be truly missed by all who knew her. We would like to thank all the people who gave such generous and gentle care to our mother, the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village, Ponderosa Lodge, Royal Inland Hospital, Ridgeview Lodge, and especially, Doreen. In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the charity of your choice. In honour of Mum, enjoy a walk in the hills or perform an act of kindness for someone. A Memorial Service will take place at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral, Kamloops, on Friday, November 18th at 2:00 pm; reception to follow in the Church Hall. Arrangements under the direction of First Memorial Funeral Service, Kamloops, British Columbia. Condolences may be left for Elizabeth’s family at www.firstmemorialkamloops.com

Obituaries & In Memoriam SARA “SALLY” RICE
Rosaria Caputo
1937 – 2016
December 1, 1953 - November 6, 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved mother Sara Rice. Sara passed away, surrounded by her family, in the early morning hours of October 31, 2016 at the age of 79. Sara faced many challenges in her life and we always marveled at her resilience and strength. Sara is survived by her four children, Chris (Deanna), Rob (Lisa), James (Sheri) and Susan, eight grandchildren Jordan, Parker, Emily, Kate, Mary, Anna, Emma and Justin, sister Susan (Roy) and brother Richard (Susan) as well as many nieces and nephews. Sara was born in England in 1937 and received her nursing degree in 1960. She and some friends set out for Canada when she was 25 years old on what was to be a 1-year adventure. They arrived in Toronto and after a brief stay headed West to BC. Sara worked in Smithers, BC as a nurse for a few years before settling in Kamloops to raise her family. Sara was a devoted mother and grandmother. Her family was her greatest joy and she will be greatly missed.

Though her smile is gone forever and her hand I cannot touch, I still have so many memories of the one I loved so much. Her memory is now my keepsake which with I’ll never part. God has her in his keeping, I have her in my heart. Sadly missed but never forgotten.
After a courageous battle with cancer, Rosaria (Rose) Caputo passed away peacefully surrounded by the love of her family at the age of 62. Devastated by her passing is her loving husband John, children Mary (Doug) Laroche, Fran Boettger and Michael (Tamara) Caputo. Grandchildren (referred as “kidlets”) Jordan and Quinn Laroche, Haylee Boettger, Elliot, Mikara and Piper Caputo. Rose also leaves behind a sister and three brothers. She was predeceased by her parents Francesco and Maria Maio, father-inlaw Francesco Caputo, sister Lilian Persi, nephew Kevin Maio, and numerous aunts, uncles and cousins. Rose was born in Grimaldi, Cosenza, Italy and immigrated to Canada in 1959, where her parents settled in Edmonton, Alberta. In 1972, she married John, and he swept her away to Kamloops where she lived and raised her family. Although she lived most of her life in BC she was a dedicated Edmonton Eskimos fan. Rose was an avid reader who spent her summer days basking in the warm sunlight and tending to her flower garden. Rose always thought about her children and grandchildren before herself. She constantly gave unwillingly to her family and everyone she knew and cared about. She was blessed with true love from her husband John. Always beside her, he never left her side during her month stay in the hospital. The family would like to extend heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate nurses in ICU, palliative care and her final days in hospice making Rose’s final journey in peace. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church on Friday, November 11, 2016 at 1:00 p.m. with the Reverend Father Paul Simms Celebrant. Private family entombment service will be held at Sage Valley Mausoleum.

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 passed away peacefully with family by her side. She was born in Lymington, England and immigrated to Revelstoke with her family at a very young age. She spent her early years there and met and married Merle. They moved to Skookumchuck for a short time, then Merritt for 30 years, where she became well known for her home baked bread and buns, and finally to Kamloops in 1984. Mom always did the best she could for her family of which we are all very thankful. She looked forward to visits from her family especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren, whom she loved very much. You could always rely on her to tell a joke or two and for sure we heard the same jokes more than once. She will be missed by her husband Merle of 70 years, sons Terry (Gwen), Tom (Marsha) and Dan, seven grandchildren, seventeen great-grandchildren, one great-great-grandchild, brother Tom Renyard and sister Dolly Williams. We would like to thank Dr. Andrew, the nurses of 7N, her friends at Berwick on The Park and Drake Cremation and Funeral Services for their care and kind words. There will be no service by request.
Time speeds on, FIVE years have gone Sad & sudden was the call So dearly loved by one & all His memory is as sweet today As in the hour he passed away. Your loving wife forever Phyllis

BILL STRODL
September 15, 1951 – November 5, 2016 We sadly announce that Bill has passed over us, Saturday evening, November 5th. At the end, he was at peace and in comfort with no pain. Bill grew up in Prince Rupert. He would explore nature and all things that grew. A passion which he turned into a career when he attained a Bachelor of Science in Forestry at UBC in 1977 and became a Professional Forester in 1981. He worked throughout the province of BC for the Ministry of Forests, for 35 years, settling in Merritt and then in Kamloops. He learned to sail with the KSA at Quilchena and remained a member for 21 years enjoying race nights and weekend sailing. In his retirement he took up pottery and travelling. Bill loved to be at home where he was surrounded by his family and his garden. His favorite place was on the front porch where he would sip coffee, read the paper, watch the sky and hear the birds. Bill lives on in the memory of his wife Gisele, his son Marshall and his daughters Victoria and Olivia and his brother Rod. Bill was a loving husband and father and his devotion to his family was his greatest gift. A kind and patient man. He had brain cancer (GBMF), but never lost how to say “I love you”. Bill wished to return to the forest. There will be a small memorial at a future date. We thank Dr. V. DeKock and the staff of Interior Health, especially the caring staff of Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice and the support of good friends and neighbors. I’ll leave you never, love you forever, Someday I’ll find you again. Condolences may be made to www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Obituaries & In Memoriam
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.

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.

September 15, 1936 - November 4, 2016 It is with great sadness that the family announces that Dr. Kenneth G. Taylor passed away peacefully in hospice on Friday, November 4, 2016 in the afternoon. He is survived by his wife Lily, his children Norman, Renee, Colin, Hillary, stepchildren Holly and Tony Chan, his grandchildren Kendalyn and Landon as well as many members of the family of his younger brother Len. Ken was born in Winnipeg on September 15, 1936, and as a child moved with his father George, mother Eunice and Len to BC after the war. While living near the ocean in Deep Cove, he formed the first of his many lifelong passions, in this case, zoology (especially marine biology and entomology). He played rugby at high school, and became a member of the ski patrol at Mt. Seymour. While at UBC, he added bird-watching and hiking – usually in bad weather - to his interests. After working as a student entomologist at the Summerland Research Station, he graduated and became a high school teacher in 1962, working in the Kootenays. There he joined the local judo and rock-climbing clubs. After completing his doctorate at Washington State University, he and his family moved to Kamloops in 1970 as a Pioneer Faculty Member of Cariboo College, one of the very first biology instructors. He helped lay the foundations for many of the programs that now exist at Thompson Rivers University, and is warmly remembered by many of his colleagues and students. He spent much of his time in extra-curricular activities with students, notably biology field trips to the Marine Station at Bamfield and other locations. Strangely enough, many of these excursions also occurred in bad weather, much like many of the camping and canoeing trips that his children – eventually – fondly remember. During this time, his first marriage ended in 1979, and he married Lily Chew in 1997. He retired from the University College of the Cariboo in 1998 after 28 years of teaching. After retirement, he pursued his continuing passions for travel and bird-watching with Lily, as well as golf, reading and fiercely competitive bridge at the Kamloops Duplicate Bridge Club where he became a Life Master. Travel (especially involving birding) took him and Lily on many wonderful trips to at least 18 countries, several of them more than once. These included Australia, Borneo, Ecuador and Costa Rica. He was a member of the Kamloops Naturalists Club, going out on numerous bird counts for as long as he was able to do so. The family wishes to thank all those who came to visit him in the last months of his life, especially his good friends at the bridge club. In lieu of cards and flowers, they ask that a voluntary donation be made to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice in his memory instead (72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9) At Ken’s request, there will be no formal memorial service.

Kudos for upgrades
KTW FILE PHOTOS Why not build a slightly cheaper arts centre at the former Kamloops Daily News site? Why can’t the former Target location be turned into an aquarium? Students in Jenny Bubela’s Grade 11 class at Sa-Hali secondary school are asking these questions for a curiosity-based project that aligns with new curriculum rolled out by the province this year.
NEW CURRICULUM AT WORK
SA-HALI SECONDARY CLASS GIVES GLIMPSE INTO PROJECT-BASED CURRICULUM IMPLEMENTED THIS YEAR DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
here are clear messages in a project done by Grade 11 French students at Sa-Hali secondary for School District 73 administrators — they’d like the temperature in the school to be something other than freezing or sweltering, think the lockers should all be the same colour and would like to see the dress code applied equally to male and female students. Teacher Jenny Bubela said the goal was to have students work together to identify how they would improve either their school or the city. “It couldn’t be fluff,” she said.
“They had to look at who would do this, what were the benefits, what was the cost. They had to make their case.” Bubela wasn’t surprised groups making suggestions on improving Sa-Hali had similar ideas because the points of concern are common to them. The project fits with the new curriculum focus brought into schools by the provincial government this year, one that is project-based where students are encouraged to follow their interests in a subject, researching and learning more about them and then creating a project from the work they have done. “I saw this as a way to create a project that could have meaning to them,” Bubela said, “something they are interested in.”
She sees the new focus of following their curiosity rather than just learning by listening and reading textbooks as a positive move. Students are likely to be more engaged if they have an interest in the work. The new curriculum is in place for students in kindergarten to Grade 9 and is being brought in as a transition in senior grades. The focus is on thinking, communication and developing personal and social skills. Bubela said her students exercised all of those with the project. Once the work was done, they invited city, school district and business representatives to come to their class and hear their presentations. They also presented them to their parents and other interested people after school. Beyond information gathered, the students also expanded their French skills, Bubela said, because the reports had to be in French and they had to be prepared to present them and respond to questions in French, as well as English.

I would like to commend the City of Kamloops and its contracted landscapers for the beautiful upgrades at the Cenotaph memorial on Battle Street. My office is directly adjacent to the monument and I have had the privilege of watching this project transition from start to finish. Even as I write this, people are walking through the park and enjoying their lunch on the new stone benches. A couple just left after spending a few minutes in the sunshine to reflect on the names engraved on the monument. The finished project undoubtedly brings a sense of calm and Canadian pride, not just to myself, but also to others. What a wonderful tribute to our veterans this Remembrance Day. Congratulations on a job well done. — Lorianna Bennett, Kamloops
Thanks for honouring
We were at the Kamloops Blazers game on Nov. 2, when veterans were being honoured, with several vets wearing their uniforms. What caught the attention of my husband and I was a young boy, maybe seven or eight years old, going around our section, asking the vets for their autographs and asking them about their uniforms. It was really great to see this young lad inspired by these veterans. Thank you, Blazers, for honouring the military. — Deb Fransen, Kamloops DO YOU HAVE CHEERS OR JEERS?

Students propose changes to school, city From B1
KTW spoke with two pairs of students who focused on the school: Alyssa Hoeman and her project partner Jordan Rachinsky, and Charlotte Hutchison and partner Emilie Earl. Both groups talked about the need for better parking at the school, noting there is one access off Arrowstone Drive, creating a bottleneck as students and staff arrive for school and head home at the end of the day. Alyssa and Jordan looked for options, but only found solutions that would be difficult to pursue, including creation of another access that would connect with the highway or convert a nearby walkway into a road. Both would face roadblocks in cost and permission, they said. The two groups see something every day at school they would like fixed — the lockers should be painted red and blue, the school colours.
And both groups wonder why guys are allowed to wear crop tops to school but — as Jordan and Alyssa showed in their project through a photograph — a female student who had a top that revealed a tiny strip of skin on her back was told to go home and change. The options considered to improve the city were more wide-ranging. One of the groups KTW talked with wants to revive an idea that has already been brought to the public and the other has its eye on nearby Sahali Mall and how to revitalize it. Liam Costerton and Luciano Carnovale want to build interest in the city. One way would be to see more new and readily identifiable stores and restaurants — American Eagle, Olive Garden and other similar higher-profile outlets — come to town and, ideally, fill some empty footage in the mall. “Right now, people drive through the city,” Liam said. “If they saw an Olive
the doctor shortage. Emily Johnstone-Horstein and Nicola Costerton believe the city needs a performing-arts centre — but say the concept has to be expanded. Their project would revisit the idea of the city turning the former Kamloops Daily News property downtown into such a centre, but with fewer seats to bring the cost down to about $75 million. Recognizing many families might still not be able to afford tickets to big shows that would come to the centre, the pair wants to see more street performers sharing their talents downtown. They would also post radios throughout the area that would announce upcoming attractions and where street performers could be found. “It would create a reason for people to go downtown,” Nicola said. “People our age, there’s no reason for us to go downtown.”
Garden, for example, they might be ‘I know that, let’s stop and eat here’.” The pair have an idea for the vacant former Target site: replace it with a tropical aquarium along the lines of the Vancouver Aquarium. Liam and Luciano recommend doing it in stages as the city could afford it, but think it would be a definite tourism boon. They’d also like to see more colour in the city. Kamloops is “pretty brown,” they said, pointing to the Marigold Mile as something to be expanded throughout the city. They also suggest go-kart tracks be built on Tk’emlups Indian Band land, with courses designed for youngsters and for those with more driving experience. Finally, the students think Thompson Rivers University should create a medical school to bring more students to the city and perhaps graduate doctors who would remain in Kamloops, easing

JUMP RIGHT IN at Silver Springs TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.ca
W
hen I went to visit my cousin Brenda for the first time in ages, I asked her and her husband Sean if we could do a fun family hike on their
favourite trail. It didn’t take them long to think of the best place to visit during the July heat wave we were experiencing. The next day, we packed up the family van — along with their kids, Katie and Rylan — and made our way to the Silver Springs trailhead, where we parked the vehicle. We then climbed for about 10 minutes to the power line. From there, we hiked up a steep washed-out gravel road. In about 20 minutes, we reached the shore of the first lake. Most people stop in this area and hang out for the day basking in the sun and jumping off the cliffs into the refreshing turquoiseblue waters, but we wanted to explore the rest of the trail. The three-kilometre one-way trail cuts through the bedrock slopes of the surrounding mountains and goes through boulder fields on its way to the other two smaller lakes in the chain. The second lake is one of Sean’s favourite fishing holes and a quiet place to chill and enjoy nature, since most people don’t venture farther than the cliff-jumping area of the first lake. For all the years the Miller family has visited this gorgeous chain of lakes, the one thing they never tried was the one thing that
draws most people to the lake: cliff jumping. On our way back, we stopped at the first lake to change this. There are higher and lower cliffs from which to jump. While Brenda, Sean and Katie braved the tall cliff, me and Rylan played it safe by jumping off the lower cliff. Even from the lower cliff, the jump was exhilarating, leaving me with an adrenaline rush. It was also a relief to cool down from our hike in the 30-degree-plus weather. It was the perfect end to a perfect day. HOW TO GET THERE: From Highway 3, turn east into Elko. The turnoff is south from the gas station/restaurant along Highway 3 (I believe it is called Store). At this point, zero your odometer and turn east from Highway 3 into Elko and follow the paved road around several corners through the small town. After one kilometre, turn left downhill to the river and then, at 1.5 kilometres, cross the bridge onto the Elko/Morrissey haul road. Follow this gravel road 2.3 kilometres east from the bridge. The river bends away from the road for a couple of kilometres. At 3.8 kilometres, when the river flows alongside the road again, drive another 500 metres and look uphill on the right side for a small well-worn footpath. Parking is available about 200 metres past the trailhead, at a wider spot along the busy roadway. For more, go online to teresathetraveler.com.

Volkwagen’s E-Golf has a range of 140 kilometres on a full charge but a new version is estimated to have a range of 300 kilometres.
Volkswagen preparing for electric future ZACK SPENCER
DRIVEWAY CANADA
drivwaycanada.ca
V
olkswagen is promising an electric future and teased some of the Canadian auto press recently with some seat time in an E-Golf. A big update on its plans was hinted
recently at the Paris Auto Show and it now seems it will come as early as mid-November at the Los Angeles Auto Show. The E-Golf, sold only in 10 states at the moment, is an electric version of the successful Golf family and has a range of 140 kilometres on a full charge. A new version could have an astonishing
range of 300 kilometres. That’s a huge leap and would make it a real contender against the upcoming (arriving early 2017) Chevrolet Bolt with 383 kilometres of range. It would be comparable to the Tesla Model 3 and its estimated 320-kilometre range, which will likely follow many months later.
I had a chance to drive the current E-Golf in the United States and, if this product is any indication of the future car, VW will be right in the thick of the emerging electric market.
LOOKS
The current E-Golf is built on the same platform as the regular gasoline car, with room made for the
front electric motor in place of a conventional power plant, plus room for the battery pack. The only giveaway this is an electric car is the bold LED signature lights on the front bumper, along with subtle badging. The second piece of news is the car to be shown in L.A. will showcase the updated look for the VW Golf family.
This is a company that makes modest changes to its products — so expect tweaks to the front and rear bumpers and headlamps but not much else.
INSIDE
The interior of the E-Golf is almost exactly the same as the conventional car, with the exception of the instrument cluster.
There are special dials in the cluster providing the state of charge if the driver is regenerating electric power or engaging the battery pack for power. This is helpful to the driver because modulating the accelerator in bursts can provide enough energy to propel the car and also regenerate power when the car is coasting. See ELECTRIC, page B7

DRIVE WAY
Electric cars benefit from instant torque, sports car like acceleration and power From B6
The rest of the dash and cabin is fitted with the same high level of materials found in the current crop of VW products. There has been a major effort on VW’s part to improve the look and feel of its
products and it shows. Unfortunately, the steering wheel does not have any radio controls or other quick adjustment buttons.
DRIVE
Having had a chance to drive several electric vehicles in recent years, I can see
how electric vehicle owners might be reluctant to drive anything else. The vehicle is so quiet, with only a slight whir from the electric motor. Electric cars also benefit from instant torque, providing sports car like accel-
eration and instant passing power. The power from the electric motor is direct — there is no transmission — so the car will go as fast as the motor can spin. The output of the current E-Golf is 115 horsepower and 200lbft.
The torque is addictive and makes midrange passing maneuvers a snap. Electric cars really are best suited for city driving where the driver can keep regenerating power to the battery under braking, unlike highway driving when the power drain
is consistent.
IN CONCLUSION
This E-Golf will receive a new look when it hits the broader market. The current car is sold in the U.S. for $28,995 or $35,595 for the fully equipped model and before any
20
federal or state rebate. I’m hoping we’ll learn about VW Canada’s plans for the vehicle in L.A. After a year of bad publicity surrounding VW’s TDI cars, bringing in a modestly priced electric car would be a welcome distraction.
