WITHOUT SERVICE CUTS, TAX HIKE LIKELY years ago. Increased hydro and natural-gas rates, and $1 million in debt payments for recent city works, will also increase this year’s tax hike. Mayor Peter Milobar said there may still be some room to lower the increase, as the city doesn’t yet know exactly how much money it will get from new growth or its 2016 surplus. Council also has yet to make decisions on its list of supplemental budget items, which include proposed projects such as a roof repair at Norbrock Stadium, a boiler replacement at the Brocklehurst outdoor pool, upgrades to the North Shore community policing station and lighting and bleacher upgrades at Sandman Centre required by the Western Hockey League.

A tax increase of more than three per cent next year is looking likely unless council wants to cut services, said city CAO David Trawin. The city is heading into this year’s budget deliberations with a tax increase of about 3.25 per cent to cover cost increases from this year. In years past, the city’s early propertytax increase estimate has come down by several percentage points over the course of budget debates, but Trawin said this year staff have held the city’s operating budget nearly flat from 2016, with an increase in costs of 0.22 per cent over last year. Many of the costs are out of the city’s control.

Finance director Kathy Humphrey said this year’s major costs include $565,000 for RCMP wage increases, which are negotiated without city input, $813,000 for firefighter pay, which the rest of the province negotiates based on wages set in the Lower Mainland, and $700,000 for CUPE and management wage increases, which were set out in contracts negotiated several

Forensic tests completed POLICE AWAIT RESULTS ON JEEP IN FATAL HIT-AND-RUN PROBE TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police have completed forensic testing of a Jeep seized earlier this month from the driveway of a Dufferin home in relation to the investigation of a hit-and-run crash that killed a 16-year-old girl. Jennifer Gatey died on Nov. 4 after being struck by a vehicle on Pacific Way, less than 100 feet from her family’s Aberdeen home. The South Kamloops secondary Grade 11 student was one day shy of her 17th birthday. Gatey’s father, Cameron, has told KTW his daughter was walking to catch a bus to the Tournament Capital Centre for an evening workout.

Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said investigators have completed their forensic analysis of the Jeep and are awaiting results. Shelkie said the Jeep, seized on Nov. 8, is the only vehicle police have tested. The dark-coloured twodoor Jeep seized appears similar to a vehicle captured on video surveillance at a home in the area of the crash at about the time Gatey was killed. Police have been in contact with the Jeep’s owner. According to Shelkie, there is no timeline as to when results of the testing will come back. “It’s wait-and-see because it’s totally up to the different places that we send it and how long they take,” she said. “We have no idea.”

Bail review for man charged in beating KRISTOPHER TEICHRIEB, 38, FACES ATTEMPTEDMURDER COUNT IN CONNECTION WITH JUNE ASSAULT OF TEENAGER JESSIE SIMPSON TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A Kamloops man who has been in jail since allegedly beating a teen into a coma in June could be released from prison tomorrow. Kristopher Teichrieb is charged with attempted murder in connection to an assault that landed 19-year-old Jessie Simpson in hospital, where he remains in critical condition. Simpson was attacked by someone with a baseball bat in the early-morning hours of June 19. His friends and family have since said he spent the evening leading up to the assault celebrating high-school graduation with friends. Tomorrow, lawyers are expected to argue in a Vancouver courtroom whether Teichrieb, 39, should be released on bail — a hearing that will be live-streamed on video in a Kamloops courtroom. He was denied bail in July following a hearing in Kamloops provincial court, but is entitled to a bail review in B.C. Supreme Court. Teichrieb became eligible for a B.C. Supreme Court bail review 90 days after he was detained. The evidence heard at Teichrieb’s first bail hearing is bound by a court-

ordered publication ban. The alleged assault of Simpson took place near Teichrieb’s Brocklehurst home. It’s not clear whether Simpson was on Teichrieb’s property prior to the incident, but police initially said a Clifford Avenue homeowner had confronted someone in his driveway. Teichrieb, who does not have a criminal record, has elected to be tried by a judge and jury in B.C. Supreme Court. His four-day preliminary inquiry in Kamloops provincial court is scheduled to begin on Jan. 23. His bail review, expected to begin at 10 a.m. tomorrow, is slated to be shown on video in Courtroom 5B at the Kamloops Law Courts. A fundraiser to help the Simpson family (https://www.gofundme. com/2adhpvg) has been online since the attack, raising $11,000 as of yesterday afternoon, The fundraiser’s cre-

ator is Christina Forde, who lives next door to the Simpson family in Savona, the town about 30 minutes west of Kamloops. Forde posted an update on Simpson’s condition on Nov. 12: “As a result of the beating, my dear friend and direct neighbour still remains in critical condition in hospital, fighting for his life,” Forde wrote. “Among the many injuries he has had due to this, he was left without a portion of his skull and brain flap. “It was shattered to the point it was unrepairable. “He is awaiting this very serious and extremely important surgery, where they will attempt to replace his brain flap with an artificial one. “But he has not as of yet been healthy enough to undergo this surgery as the surgery is extremely dangerous. “My dear friend lays in a bed day after day unable to do anything aside from breathing on his own.”

DALE BASS STAFF REPORTER dale@kamloopsthisweek.com

Online postings by parents have prompted the Kamloops-Thompson school district to begin crafting a social-media policy that would apply to them. Assistant superintendent Rob Schoen said the move was prompted by an issue taken to the district parents’ advisory council about comments on a Facebook page that was created by a school’s parent group. The page included inflammatory posts. “We just thought it’s probably time we have the same expectations of parents as we do of children” in terms of social media and online posts, Schoen said. School District 73 already has a policy in place governing student code of conduct that includes as unacceptable conduct that bullies, harasses or intimidates others. Schoen said the district also has the obligation of ensuring staff are also protected from that kind of behaviour. “That negative stuff really does affect a school’s culture,” he said. The policy being considered would only apply to websites that have a school’s name attached to it. The policy would not impact, for example, a private Facebook page open to teachers that, in past years, included comments about administration that led to a lawyer being retained to review the posts. Administration will consult with parents’ councils in the district and take a proposed policy to the committee level of the board of education in January. At the earliest, it will be brought forward for approval at the trustees’ meeting scheduled for Jan. 16.

Sewer rates to rise in 2017 ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops residents are looking at a $41 per-household hike to their sewer utility fees in 2017 as the city looks to bank more money for a decade of upcoming pipe repairs and replacements. In particular, finance director Kathy Humphrey said the 15 per cent increase to sewage fees will allow the city to start putting money away for a $10-million sewer main replacement along Tranquille Road, into which sewage systems across the North Shore feed. The project is on the books for 2019 or 2020, though Humphrey said it could be

bumped up — and future 15 and 10 per cent increases to sewer fees lowered significantly — if the city gets grant money for which it has already applied. But, Humphrey added, the project won’t be awarded until after this year’s budget is set. Milobar said the cost isn’t one the city can avoid. “If we don’t do it, half the city’s not able to flush toilets. “Sometimes we have discretion in things, but there are some pieces you really don’t have the ability to say no to,” he told council at a Tuesday morning budget workshop. The city’s solid-waste and water

Council rejects Walsh’s five points ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

On paper, it was a debate over five potential conditions to secure the city’s approval of KGHM’s proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Aberdeen. But a council debate Tuesday afternoon revealed more clues about the city’s first-round negotiations on a communitybenefit agreement with the mining company. In a split vote, Kamloops council shot down a motion from Coun. Denis Walsh. His motion included calls for First Nations approval of the project, the creation of an independent mining watchdog for Kamloops and monitoring of provincial mines by agencies outside of the Ministry of Energy and Mines and Ministry of Environment. Walsh argued the points in his motion would fill some gaps left in a draft proposal for a community-benefit agreement, which the city hopes to

negotiate with the company. Walsh said the proposal — which has been submitted to KGHM, with no response so far — has more of a focus on revenue-sharing and recovering costs than on the mine’s potential effects on the community. “There needs to be a little bit more focus on community effects, not just finances,” Walsh said. Mayor Peter Milobar argued the document, which has only been debated by council incamera, is about more than money. “There’s lots of different clauses in there and we don’t know what ultimately will make the cut, both monetary and non-monetary,” he said. Responding to a question from the mayor as debate began, Walsh said that if all five conditions were met by KGHM, he would likely still be opposed to the mine, calling the conditions minimum requirements. “They highlight at a high level the values that city council supports,” Walsh said.

COUN. DENIS WALSH

His motion was defeated by a 4-4 vote (motions are defeated on tie votes). Walsh and councillors Donovan Cavers, Tina Lange and Dieter Dudy were in favour and Milobar and councillors Arjun Singh, Marg Spina and Ken Christian were opposed. Coun. Pat Wallace was absent. Councillors voting against the motion argued the five conditions could muddy the waters if the city has more concerns once the province, federal government and city-hired SLR Consulting report back on the mine’s application for environ-

mental permitting. “There is more than five things we need to worry about and I couldn’t agree that these, in isolation of all others, make or break it for me,” Milobar said. “You have to see what’s being proposed in its entirety.” Spina wants to ensure there are more city-specific issues raised in whatever response council sends to the province, including questions about slope stability in Aberdeen and the area’s dusty climate. “I don’t think it’s the right time,” she said. “I think we should wait for SLR. I think we’ve got the cart before the horse and we’re saying what the heck, we don’t need more information, we’re going to stir the pot again.” Lange argued the resolution could “put the government on notice.” “It says we have very high expectations of monitoring by the Ministry of Environment,” Lange said. “And it says we know they don’t have the capacity there.”

fees won’t change from 2016, though Humphrey said smaller increases of about two per cent are likely in the works for the water utility in future years, due to capital works projects up to 10 years out. While the city also has the option to borrow cash for its utility upgrades, Humphrey told council she’d like to see the city avoid taking on debt for routine maintenance, saving it instead for large projects that may come up once every several decades. “We would very easily overwhelm the tax budget with debt payments if we didn’t start setting things aside,” she said. In December, council will set utility rates for 2017.

Mayor calls CFJC web column erroneous ‘conspiracy theory’ ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

In a highly unusual move, Mayor Peter Milobar used Tuesday’s council meeting to criticize an online opinion column he said included factual inaccuracies and conspiracy theories. The column by Bill McQuarrie, posted on the CFJC-TV website, may also contain information from an in-camera meeting leaked by a councillor or highlevel staffer, said city CAO David Trawin. In the column, McQuarrie claims Milobar and councillors Pat Wallace and Dieter Dudy have been negotiating a community compensation and mitigation deal with KGHM Ajax in secret, without the knowledge of other councillors. “While we nor council were informed, I’m guessing but pretty confident in doing so, that the Ajax negotiating team was in constant touch with their team at KGHM,” McQuarrie wrote. “Their communications likely included all details on the process and progress of each successive meeting and would have included such things as plans and strategies

for the next round of talks, along with advice on likely outcomes of those various strategies.” Not true, Milobar countered during his mayor’s report, because so far there have not been rounds of talks, negotiations or any response to the city from the mining company at all. Milobar said he, Dudy and Wallace met with KGHM to present a draft proposal, which council gave them the go-ahead to do at an earlier public meeting. That was the last the city has heard from the company. Milobar said councillors were given an update on the contents of the proposal just before this year’s Union of BC Municipalities convention in September — a point on which he and McQuarrie agree — in a closed meeting. While copies of the agreement weren’t available that day (another point on which McQuarrie’s column and the mayor’s version align), Milobar said a copy has been available to councillors for months since. Later in the meeting, Coun. Denis Walsh said he has read the entire document. “Post-UBCM, there has not been one meeting with KGHM about this document. The con-

spiracy theory that’s been washed with innuendo in this piece is totally offside,” Milobar said. Trawin said he’s concerned because the date and contents of the in-camera meeting could only be passed on by someone who participated in that closed-door session. “When we’re dealing with things and negotiating with people in-camera and things get leaked, there’s a liability potential for the city, which is why those things are kept in-camera,” he said. The column was briefly pulled from the web Tuesday, but has since returned with an editor’s note referencing the mayor’s displeasure. In March 2010, McQuarrie was at the centre of a controversy regarding what appeared to be a private message inadvertently posted on his Facebook page. The message referred to a yetto-be announced decision by a co-generation company to pull its proposed gasification plant out of Kamloops. The message included unflattering remarks about Terry Lake, then the environment minister. McQuarrie denied posting the message, suggesting his Facebook page had been hacked.

If voters in Kamloops-North Thompson send Mayor Peter Milobar to Victoria in the May provincial election, at least one councillor is already willing to take the job that would be left behind. Coun. Ken Christian said he would resign his seat and stand for election as mayor should the city call a byelection next year in the event of a Milobar victory in the MLA race. “I suspect lots of other people would as well, but that’s if there is a byelection and that’s up to Peter,” Christian said. “He’s the mayor and, as you can tell, he’s doing a very good job.” Christian said he hasn’t spoken with other councillors about what should happen if Milobar is elected to the legislature. Several other councillors have suggested they would prefer to avoid the cost of a byelection and either appoint an acting mayor or create some sort of rotation for the remainder of the term. Christian said he’s not a fan of their option. “You can have a rotating mayor, but for the most part, I believe you need somebody at the helm to dole out the tough

love when it needs to be doled out, and I don’t think you’d be incentivized to do that if you were the deputy mayor for the month,” he said, noting that option could put the city in a “holding pattern” until the civic election

in November 2018. As to the option of council electing a new leader internally, Christian said the idea doesn’t sit well with him. “The citizens have to decide,” he said. “It could be me, it could be someone else, but at least the citizens would have put us in.” Asked why he’s interested in the job, Christian said he doesn’t want to start campaigning until it’s clear there’s a vacancy to fill. That could come once the polls close on May 9.

Residents using the Ord Road recycling depot will have to go elsewhere to drop their cardboard and mixes recycling at the end of the year. Kamloops city council voted Tuesday to shut down the depot, which staff said has become a costly headache due to illegal dumping and contamination. Public works director Jen Fretz told council the site is a hot spot for illegal dumping, with mattresses, electronics and other garbage often needing to be hauled away. Paint, gasoline and other chemicals are also often dropped at the location. Recycling that does make it into the designated bins is regu-

larly contaminated by garbage and ends up in the landfill. The city estimates it will save about $40,000 with the closure. Fretz said while some have suggested putting surveillance cameras at the depot would be costly without much reward. “It’s very difficult to charge people or take them to court,” she said. “Other than public shaming, which I’m not sure is where we want to go, we haven’t found them particularly effective.” To get decent pictures, Fretz said the site would need better lighting, which she estimated would cost $40,000, as well as $25,000 for the cameras themselves. Councillors Ken Christian and Denis Walsh suggested the city look at moving the depot instead.

Fretz said staff was not able to find a spot where similar issues were unlikely to occur, or which wouldn’t cost the city more money. An unmanned depot remains on Bunker Road. Fretz said because of its proximity to the public works yard, it doesn’t experience the same issues as Ord Road. Recycling can also be dropped off at the General Grants depots on Fortune Drive and Camosun Crescent and at the Lorne Street Bottle depot. Councillors voted 6-2 to do away with the depot, with Walsh and Coun. Donovan Cavers opposed. Coun. Pat Wallace was absent. “It’s wonderful to offer a service to the community, but when it’s abused like that and misused, I see no reason to keep it,” said Coun. Tina Lange.

Free parking on Saturdays Step away from the kiosk. From Dec. 1 to Dec. 24, parking in downtown Kamloops will be free on Saturdays. At its Tuesday meeting, city council agreed to a request from the Kamloops Central Business Improvement Association to waive parking fees for four Saturdays before Christmas Day. However, maximum time limits will still apply despite the lack of fees. According to city staff, the move will slash about $10,000 from this year’s parking revenues.

On behalf of myself and my fellow Kiwanians,

We thank you.

Court wipes away non-compete claim

STAFF REPORTER

A Kamloops window-cleaning business failed to shut down a recently established competitor after a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled a non-complete agreement is not valid. See Thru Window Cleaners Inc. sought an injunction in B.C. Supreme Court barring Adam Mahood from operating a window, gutter or pressure-cleaning business in Kamloops for three years after he left its employ. Mahood worked seasonally for See Thru since 2008 and signed non-compete agreements in 2008 and 2010. Those agreements stated he would not start a rival business in Kamloops for three years. But Mahood took parental leave in November 2015 and in January resigned to establish rival firm Adam & Eaves Window and Gutter Cleaning. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Emily Burke ruled Mahood, after signing the non-compete clause, was first given a layoff in November 2011. That started the three-year clock ticking on the non-compete agreement. He was not asked in subsequent years to sign a similar clause. Burke also ruled the non-compete clause was too restrictive because See Thru had unequal power in the relationship with its seasonal employee. “Mr. Mahood has said he felt financially compelled to sign the agreement, which was presented to him at the time he was re-employed, as a condition of his re-employment,” Burke said. While See Thru argued Mahood was “the face” of its business, Burke said he was a foreman who was not privy to client or pricing lists. “While he had some authority as a working foreman, he did not determine the direction or direct the operations of See Thru,” Burke ruled.

TIME TO REFOCUS ON B.C. POLITICS

ith many B.C. residents still trying to process the idea of a Donald Trump presidency, the focus close to home is slowly but surely beginning to shift to our own politics. The Liberals, New Democrats and Greens have already begun the process of confirming candidates for the spring 2016 provincial election. While residents likely won’t start seeing candidates pounding the pavement and knocking on doors until after the new year, voters can begin now to look at who’s out there and start thinking about what kind of government they’d like to see in power in B.C. Trying to figure out how people are thinking is something political parties and candidates have done for countless elections. Many use polls to help determine strategy, as Hillary Clinton’s campaign did in the U.S. But polls showing her leading Trump heading into election night came under fire in the wake of his shocking victory. The broad critique of polling in general reminded us of the last B.C. election, when polls showed the NDP leading the Liberals late in the campaign before the stunning election-night defeat that prompted then-NDP leader Adrian Dix to quit the job. Analysts then said the Liberals did a better job of getting their supporters to the polls, while the New Democrats — normally masters at that game — saw their traditional supporters stay away thinking the win was in the bag. We don’t think any party or candidate will take voters for granted this time around.

A new day dawning?

all me a silly optimist, but I’m foreseeing a renaissance in journalism. Maybe it won’t be a return to the glory days of journalism, those years when newsrooms were filled with mostly white males, almost all of them wearing white shirts and skinny black ties. Many had a bottle in their desk drawer and a drive to go out and, in the words of Finley Peter Dunne, “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable.” Let us pause here to examine the entire sentence the American reporter, one who worked during the age of muckraking journalism, actually said in its totality because it may be more relevant now than it has been in recent years. Dunne, writing in his alterego creation of Mr. Dooley, an Irish immigrant who lived in Chicago and spent much of his time in an Irish pub on the south side of they city, wrote: “The newspaper does everything for us. It runs the police force and the banks, commands the military, controls the legislature, baptizes the young, marries the foolish, comforts the afflicted, afflicts the comfortable, buries the dead and roasts him afterward.” Now, it’s not likely the media is going to be doing all of that, but Dunne’s observation speaks to the role it plays in society, a role it needs to re-examine and ramp up as we move forward in these strange and unpredictable times. Journalism — real, driven,

DALE BASS

Street

LEVEL doggedly determined and impassioned journalism — has changed society through the years. In doing so, it has given us role models to at least admire, if not emulate. My generation had Bob Woodward, Carl Bernstein, Seymour Hersh, Barbara Frum, Doris Anderson and June Callwood. Today’s crop would likely include Glenn Greenwald, Rosemary Barton, Robyn Doolittle, Tim Bosquet and Kevin Donovan, among others. For some of us, journalism has always been a calling, not a career — hence lousy pensions and an inability to not see everything, including the spelling on menus, through the eyes of a reporter. And, recognizing the emphasis on the concept of objectivity, many of us have also never seen a perceived wrong we didn’t want to right or felt a desire to bust through that secretive wall put up by a bureaucrat, politician, organization or business. There’s no shortage of those scenarios starting to unfold south of the border.

“Now is a time when none of us can afford to remain seated or silent,” renowned retired reporter Dan Rather said. “We must all stand up to be counted.” Don’t think it’s a reality only in the U.S. There are worrisome realities coming to light in Canada, too. Let’s skip past the scary zealotry of would-be Conservative leader Kellie Leitch, she of the “Canadian values” who sees the election of Donald Trump as an “exciting message” for us (although she’s certainly someone the media has to not just watch, but continue to question). Instead, let’s start at the top with our own “anti-Trump,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Sure, he’s charismatic, can work a crowd and isn’t Stephen Harper, but Canadian media are starting to realize they need to pay attention to what he actually does, not what he says or how many smiles he flashes as he says it. There are challenges ahead we never anticipated and, for many young journalists, have never experienced. Not all of them are going to be on top of it, but that’s OK because there’s going to be that group, those crazy people like my reporter friend who once drove up toward a wildfire as everyone else fled — because that’s what the story was — who are going to feel that burning sense Dunne talked about. And they’ll do something about it. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

TOO EASY TO GET CONFUSED AT TAX TIME Editor: With respect to the latest announcement that our city taxes might go up approximately 3.5 per cent next year, I encourage people to actually compare what they end up paying when they get their tax bill at the end of June. I did this for 2015 and 2016 and found the increase in actual dollars and cents worked out to about 6.6 per cent, due to the adjustments in the assessment values. Unless you really follow the whole process, it’s easy to become confused. Over time it makes a big difference.

So, unless you receive a raise in pay or some other increase of income, your disposable income shrinks. One of the biggest sectors of the population is baby boomers. Many of them (us) are going to realize just how important this becomes as more and more of us learn to live on a fixed pension. In addition, what exactly are “contractual” increases? I’m not sure what the $800,000 increase request for the RCMP comprises. Is it for new members or new equipment? Or is it all for wages and benefits? Maybe I need to do more research or

make sure I have all the information, not just some of it, but I think we all believe what we hear and read in the news, right? After all, perception is reality in a lot of situations. I think we are lucky to have all the services and supports in place. I just hope the next generation can and will be able to afford all the annual increases. I am simply curious to know if I am way off base here or if others think along the same lines. Brian Husband Kamloops

A MOMENT OF SILENCE LEARN FROM MISTAKES IS ALL BEING REQUESTED Editor: I never intended to get into a long discussion on the subject of CP’s muscling in on the Remembrance Day ceremony. It is interesting that Hubert Plante, a CN veteran, noted in his letter of Nov 17 (‘Railway companies do honour our soldiers’): “We had an order to stop all trains, clear all crossings and residential areas and blow the whistle for a minute.” The corporate brass got that 90 per cent right. In Mike Lo Vecchio’s letter of Nov. 18 (‘CP proud to honour those who have served’), the company spokesman is effusive in acknowledging CP’s recognition of Remembrance Day. No one is questioning that. I would like reasonable silence to

listen to the speeches, then a minute’s silence and the Last Post without the noise of two 6,000-horsepower locomotives deliberately parked overlooking the ceremony. Make no mistake, every train’s position is known to and controlled by CP in Calgary. It would take very little effort on its part to move the trains away from downtown for an hour once a year.

Editor: I’m hearing about overdose deaths in the news. How is this possible? My son is Paul Adkin and his life was sacrificed so no one else would have to die. Everyone was to have spoken to everyone they know, who was to talk to everyone they know, so there would be no more deaths and no more recreational drug use. PAUL ADKIN WAS 27 This is sheer insanity. WHEN HE DIED OF AN Everyone reading this must talk ACCIDENTAL DRUG to everybody they know about this OVERDOSE IN SEPTEMBER. epidemic of overdoses. Two people die every day in B.C. from drug overdoses. This poison is in every type of drug out there. The revolver is fully loaded. How can I make this any more clear? Why don’t people learn from other people’s mistakes?

A selection of comments on KTW stories, culled online RE: STORY: KAMLOOPS SEWER FEES LIKELY TO RISE BY 15% IN 2017:

“The City of Kamloops is like a teenaged girl — it always needs more and is always going to take it from the Bank of Mom and Dad (or the taxpayers, in this scenario). “Citizens are getting railroaded here. A massive hike in what we pay Emterra, high property taxes and now a double-digit hike in sewer fees. “And still somehow we aren’t properly prepared for weather, whether it be snow or heavy rains.

in Kamloops. RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird said the driver and lone occupant of a GMC pickup truck was travelling westbound on East Shuswap Road, about three kilometres east of the Lafarge Bridge, at 6:40 a.m. when he came across some black ice as he rounded a corner. Aird said the truck went into a four-wheel sideways skid, crossing the road and rolling once. It struck several trees and came to rest on its wheels.

Paramedics took the Kamloops man to Royal Inland Hospital. He suffered head and chest injuries, but was reported to be in good condition. “Police are reminding the public that colder conditions are bringing frost out on many roads even without snow cover,” Aird said. “Ensure you have proper tires with sufficient tread and drive to the road conditions, including being prepared for changing conditions.”

co-accused, Kodi Tower, were arrested in May of this year in Kelowna. Both were granted bail in Kamloops on June 3. Details of the allegations against Boffa and Tower have not been made public, but Crown prosecutor Chris Balison called the charges “serious” at the June bail hearing. Boffa and Tower were both released on conditions barring them from contacting any

potential Crown witnesses or members of Painter’s family. Both men were also ordered to reside on curfew with family in the Okanagan — Boffa in Enderby and Tower in Kelowna. According to court documents, Boffa is alleged to have breached his bail by missing his curfew and failing to reside at an address on Emeny Road in Enderby. He is expected to seek bail on the breach charges on Dec. 1.

In the four years since it opened its doors, the Kamloops Innovation Centre has made a name for itself in technology circles as the place to go for business support. But executive director Lincoln Smith is hoping the Link Up: Business Development Summit coming to the city on Dec. 1 will get the business community at large interested in what his organization has to offer. “There are more and more people dropping in and hearing about us through different avenues, but part of going to this event would be getting the word out to people who aren’t in those circles,” Smith said. The non-profit society offers programs to help entrepreneurs grow their businesses, hosts networking and skillsbuilding events and offers office rentals and co-working spaces for startup companies. Smith estimates the centre has worked with about 25 companies since its launch. While its focus is on technology, Smith said businesses that may not think of themselves as tech companies can still draw on KIC’s services. “There aren’t too many businesses that don’t have technology involved in what they do, so our mandate is more technology and technology-enabled companies,” he said. “Even traditional companies are going to be looking at providing services in new ways or leveraging new tools that didn’t exist five to 10 years ago and bringing those into their business.” Companies looking to develop now products, for instance, can take advantage of mentorship programs or make connections to other business supports in the community. Smith will also be speaking in his capacity as Thompson Rivers University’s director of research partnerships and enterprise creation, where he is hoping to encourage businesses to consider working on research with the university.

Child protection to indigenous communities TOM FLETCHER

BLACK PRESS

tfletcher@blackpress.ca

The B.C. government is renewing efforts to keep aboriginal children in their home communities when they are removed from their parents. The approach has long been a government goal and was called for again this week when Grand Chief Ed John presented a report he was asked to do by Premier Christy Clark.

John’s 85 recommendations centre around keeping families and communities intact and giving them more support to take care of children without them being placed in foster homes or group homes. Both Clark and John noted that aboriginal children are 15 times more likely to be apprehended and placed in government care than non-aboriginal children. Clark said the number is in decline, but is not being reduced as quickly for

aboriginal children. Clark said the transition will take a substantial new financial commitment from the province and the federal government, to recruit more aboriginal social workers and locate them in the communities they serve and to improve services. “We need indigenous wisdom from indigenous leaders to solve this problem,” Clark said. The Ministry of Children and Family Development has

struggled to maintain staffing and services in remote communities, and delegated agencies have had their own problems. Outgoing Representative for Children and Youth Mary Ellen TurpelLafond has issued investigation reports on cases such as that of Alex Gervais, an 18-year-old who fell to his death in September 2015 from a fourthfloor hotel room in Abbotsford. The ministry had moved him

there after the group home he was in, run by a delegated aboriginal child welfare agency, was shut down due to inadequate conditions. Turpel-Lafond said earlier this month there remain 10 ministry child protection offices operating with emergency staff, allowing little continuity on cases. She said the waiting time for youth mental health treatment continues to be up to two years, and delays have meant more severe

cases that end in injury or death. Stephanie Cadieux, minister of children and family development, said work is well underway on the recommendations in John’s report, but it will take time and money to transfer child welfare services back to communities. Aboriginal and Métis community agencies must have the same financial support as government agencies to perform child protection services, Cadieux said.

ICBC out of high-end business CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Owners of high-end luxury cars will find themselves buying private, and potentially costly, basic insurance after the B.C. Liberal government announced it will no longer subsidize them through the struggling public insurer. Todd Stone, minister of transportation who is responsible for ICBC, told reporters yesterday that drivers of everyday vehicles are subsidizing motorists who own Lamborghinis, Ferraris and Bentleys. Under current rules, whether you “purchase a $25,000 Honda Civic or a $200,000 Lamborghini, basic rates are similar, while the cost of repair is widely different,” Stone said, As an example, ICBC officials showed two cars with the same basic crash damage. A written-off Corolla costs ICBC $6,000, while a total loss for a Ferrari is $300,000. A bumper cover alone for the Italian

Transportation Minister Todd Stone.

car is estimated at $6,000. Minor door damage on a Bentley Flying Spur costs $38,000 because it has a carbon-fibre skin. The measure will apply to vehicles valued at $150,000 and higher, but will not include motorcoaches, RVs or pickup trucks. There are about 3,000 of these vehicles on B.C.’s roads, a 30 per cent increase over three years. Stone said Greater Vancouver has one of the highest owner-

ships of these vehicles in North America. The B.C. Liberals are under pressure after the B.C. Utilities Commission asked ICBC for hypothetical rate scenarios — information the Crown corporation initially refused to provide. It did release those numbers yesterday. They show a best-case increase in a single year of two per cent — assuming fewer crashes and positive impact from other changes. In the worst case, rates would rise each year until they hit a 9.5 per cent boost in 2019. ICBC is asking for a 4.9 per cent increase in 2017, about $40 a year on basic insurance. The province is working with ICBC to bring increases in line with inflation. It is battling higher personal-injury awards, higher repair costs and increased claims. Stone said measures to bring down rates will include cracking down on fraud and continued targeting of distracted drivers.

Kamloops Mounties were at the corner of Collingwood Drive and Westsyde Road yesterday morning, across from which a body was found.

Death not considered suspicious TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

Police and the BC Coroners Service are investigating after a body was found on Westsyde Road on Wednesday morning. A Westsyde resident told KTW the body, near the Darfray Trailer Park in Westmount, was first

spotted just after 7:30 a.m. It was removed by police and coroners just after 10 a.m. Kamloops Mounties say the death is not believed to be suspicious, but the investigation is ongoing. “The Kamloops RCMP and BC Coroners are examining the scene of a death in the 1600-block of Westsyde Road

this morning,” RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said. “At this time the death has been categorized as non-suspicious. No further information is being released at this time.” The scene affected traffic in the morning rush hour and, given its location, drew some onlookers, including children on the way to area schools.

Ice conditions lead to highway crashes Snow has arrived and Kamloops Mounties are reminding drivers to be roadready and weatherwise. While the city proper has remained

dry, with relatively warm conditions, the situation on roads a few minutes outside of Kamloops can change rapidly. Yesterday morning was a case in point as

paramedics and firefighters were called to a number of accidents on the Coquihalla Highway, about 15 minutes south of the city. Icy conditions near

the Lac Le Jeune interchange led to vehicles leaving the highway, including reports of one vehicle rolling on to its roof and its occupants being rescued by emergency personnel.

VANCOUVER — Author Steven Galloway has issued his first statement since he was suspended a year ago by the University of British Columbia over what it has only described as “serious allegations.’’ He was fired as creative writing chairman in June under a veil of secrecy. He said in the statement issued yesterday by his lawyers that the “harm flowing from UBC’s conduct’’ has reached such a level that he asked his counsel to provide clarity. Galloway confirms that he was accused of sexual assault but says the only complaint substantiated by a former judge’s investigation was that he had an affair with a student. “Mr. Galloway profoundly regrets his conduct and wishes to apologize for the harm that it has caused,” the statement said. “He does not seek to minimize it or to hide from it. “He seeks fair treatment for all involved, and an end to the scurrilous assertions and accusations that have proliferated in the vacuum of information.’’

It remains bound by privacy law from detailing the allegations against Galloway without his consent. Boyd has said she cannot comment due to a confidentiality agreement. The authors’ open letter said Galloway had been barred from speaking publicly while the faculty association grieved his firing. However, the statement issued yesterday by his lawyers — who are not affiliated with the grievance — said he has “avoided’’ commenting out of respect for the grievance process. Galloway’s statement says the association filed its first grievance in December following his suspension and filed another in July after his firing. The grievance is proceeding to arbitration, the statement says, and Galloway’s position is that his termination was unreasonable.

Experts urge B.C. to cut taxes, encourage business THE CANADIAN PRESS

VICTORIA — A panel of experts is recommending the British Columbia government chop taxes to provincial businesses by about $1.1 billion a year in an effort to spur lagging investment. The Improving B.C.’s Tax Competitiveness report made four recommendations including exempting businesses from the seven-per-cent provincial sales tax on capital expenses for items like machinery and equipment. The report also recommended exempting the PST on electricity costs and other energy, and suggests the province implement a made-in-B.C., value-added tax. It said the value-added tax would address problems with

the PST, including investment disincentives and an increase in business costs. Commission spokesman Bev Dahlby said the reforms are required to improve business investment in B.C., which is currently behind most other provinces. Removing the provincial tax on capital investments for machinery and equipment would cost the province $640 million annually, while taking the PST off electricity and other energy costs amounts to $520 million a year. But the report said those measures would be offset by increased investments by businesses and likely higher wages for workers, which increases income revenues for the province. “The PST is a very complex

tax that places a significant amount of burden on businesses, especially small businesses,’’ Dahlby said in the report. He said during public meetings, many businesses said they would rather the province tackle PST reforms than reduce corporate taxes. “One small business said the complexity of the PST means it acts like a tax on entrepreneurship,’’ he said. The report said the complexity of the PST creates a major burden on businesses, diverting effort from more productive and potentially growth-creating activities. The report did not examine B.C.’s carbon tax or a return to the harmonized sales tax, which British Columbians turned down in a referendum more than five years ago.

Trudeau visiting Madagascar, Liberia on first official trip to Africa JOANNA SMITH

THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — Justin Trudeau plans to discuss LGBTQ rights in a speech later this week at the summit of la Francophonie, where his audience will include countries that still discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation or forbid homosexuality outright. The prime minister will raise the subject during Saturday’s opening ceremony in Antananarivo, the capital city of the island nation of Madagascar, which is hosting this weekend’s summit of the International Organization of la Francophonie. The global group of 80 governments and states from mainly French-speaking nations comprises many countries, including nearly a dozen in Africa, where sexual acts between same-

sex couples are illegal. In others, including the host country of Madagascar, homosexuality is frowned upon or otherwise not tolerated. Trudeau is leaving Ottawa today en route to Monrovia, Liberia — a West African country that was hit hard by the Ebola epidemic in recent years. It marks Trudeau’s first visit to the continent since becoming prime minister last year. The Liberal government plans to use the trip to highlight a promise of renewed engagement with Africa on international development assistance. With 31 of the members of la Francophonie hailing from the African continent, including several with associate and observer status, the summit offers an ideal setting for such talks. The speech by Trudeau,

who is leading the Canadian delegation and will be attending plenary sessions at the summit, will also address the global fight against climate change and the empowerment of women and girls — a key international development priority for the Liberal government. As part of that focus on gender equality, Canada — the second-largest contributor to la Francophonie — is also putting forward a joint resolution with Benin on early and forced marriage. “Forced marriage is a glaring example to work on for me, because it is an important element that limits the development of girls’ potential,’’ said International Development Minister MarieClaude Bibeau, who is also attending the summit. Bibeau, who is already in Antananarivo, issued a

“friendly reminder’’ in a speech yesterday that Canada won’t shy away from the issue of discrimination against gays and lesbians in African countries. Western countries always need to avoid being seen as lecturing the developing world when it comes to social issues, said Pablo Idahosa, a professor of development and African studies at York University in Toronto. That’s where Idahosa said the youth and charisma of Trudeau could come in handy. “I think he may have a certain amount of political capital as someone who might be willing to have initiatives in Africa that don’t have a hard language around human rights, but gets in there around more softer issues, around engaging issues of youth and young women and in particular girls,’’ he said.

Defence minister promises action as report shows 18 military suicides in 2015 Sajjan says care for troops will be ‘resourced’ THE CANADIAN PRESS

OTTAWA — The federal government will spare no expense in caring for Canada’s military personnel, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said yesterday after a new report revealed 18 service members took their lives in 2015. The report, compiled and published by the top medical officer in the Canadian Forces, also concluded many of the 18 military personnel had sought some type of mentalhealth treatment shortly before their deaths. Brig.-Gen. H.C. MacKay’s report also found growing indications that army members are more likely to take their lives than those in the navy or air force, as are soldiers who served on missions overseas, such as in Afghanistan. The issue of military suicide is “a little more personal for me,’’ said Sajjan, himself a veteran of the Afghan combat mission. The same is true for another Afghan vet: Gen. Jonathan Vance, the chief of the defence staff, he added. “Every time I find out [about a military suicide], it’s too much for me,’’ Sajjan said. “So we are seized with this.’’ The Liberal government is drawing up a new defence policy which will lay out a vision for Canada’s

military for the next 20 years, touching on issues like equipment, troop numbers and the main security threats the country faces. But Sajjan said the policy will also pay significant attention to supporting Canada’s military personnel, the subject of much debate and criticism in recent years. Regardless of whatever is decided, Sajjan said, “the care of troops will be something we will always be sure is properly resourced.’’ Of the 18 members who took their own lives last year, 14 were men who were full-time soldiers, while one was female. The other three were male reservists. Yesterday’s report focused on full-time males due to the relatively small number of female and reservist suicides. The 14 suicides mark the thirdhighest total on record since 1995, exceeded only by 21 in 2011 and 16 in 2014 The report said there have been 239 suicides involving full-time servicemen in the 20 years between 1995 and 2015, and 82 alone between 2010 and 2015. Nearly two-thirds were suffering from more than one mental-health issue, including depression, posttraumatic stress disorder and substance abuse.

Trump names his first women to cabinet posts THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald World News Trump has chosen South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, the first woman tapped for a top-level administration post during his White House transition so far. It will be a Cabinet-level position, and Haley has accepted, Trump said in a statement yesterday. Jason Miller, a transition spokesman, indicated in a telephone briefing with reporters that Trump would be picking another Cabinet member yesterday. He said Trump has interviewed more than 60 “qualified people’’ for administration jobs. “Governor Haley has a proven track record of bringing people together regardless of background or party affiliation to move critical policies forward for the betterment of her state and our country,’’ Trump said in the release. “She is also a proven dealmaker, and we look to be making plenty of deals. She will be a great leader representing us on the world stage.’’ Haley, an outspoken Trump critic throughout much of the presidential race, would become his first female — and first minority — cabinetlevel official if confirmed by the Senate. She’s the daughter of Indian immigrants and is the second Asian-American to serve as a U.S. governor. Also yesterday, Trump named Betsy DeVos, a wealthy Republican donor from Michigan, his education secretary.

BRIEFS

Experts ask Clinton to push for recount NEW YORK — A group of election lawyers and data experts have asked Hillary Clinton’s campaign to call for a recount of the vote totals in three battleground states — Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania — to ensure that a cyberattack was not committed to manipulate the totals. There is no evidence that the results were hacked or that electronic voting machines were compromised. The Clinton campaign yesterday did not respond to a request for comment as to whether it would petition for a recount before the three states’ fast-approaching deadlines to ask for one. President-elect Donald Trump won Wisconsin and Pennsylvania by razor-thin margins and has a small lead in Michigan. Each of the three states had been reliably Democratic in recent presidential elections.

Airstrikes disrupt IS supply lines in Iraq MOSUL, Iraq — An airstrike by the U.S.-led coalition yesterday “disabled’’ a fourth bridge across the Tigris River in Mosul, leaving only one intact crossing in the northern Iraqi city and further disrupting the Islamic State group’s supply lines. The IS-run Aamaq news agency and an Iraqi military commander in Mosul reported the predawn airstrike, the second to target a bridge this week. Two other bridges were destroyed by airstrikes last month. The airstrike was followed by intense fighting in an eastern Mosul neighbourhood where Iraq’s special forces are slowly advancing toward the city centre, hampered by suicide car bombings, snipers and concern over the safety of civilians. The Tigris River runs through the centre of Mosul, and until now most of the fighting has been on the eastern bank. Iraqi forces are expected to use pontoon bridges when they reach the river.

NO PLANS FOR STUDENT HOUSING – YET &

First phase residential, market condos current focus of The Reach at TRU DALE BASS

Reaching far and wide

STAFF REPORTER

ffordable housing for students might not be part of the university village project at Thompson Rivers University now — but that doesn’t mean it won’t be at some time. Reacting to media reports the project won’t have student housing, TRU Community Trust CEO Finlay Sinclair said that information is incorrect. “We’re not a normal developer,” Sinclair said of the project, known as The Reach. “We are building something that will happen over about 30 years. We’re not targeting this much of this and that much of that. “We may put out [a request for proposal (RFP)] for student housing but right now, we are concentrating on our first project.” Chantelle Stone, the trust’s marketing and communications manager, said the goal is to have ground broken for construction by next spring. Responses to the first RFP to develop land on University Drive to the north of the Old Main Building were received earlier this month and are being reviewed. That first phase would see about 90,000 square feet of

Phase one of The Reach, as shown above, will see about 90,000 square feet of residential and market condominium housing built. About three-million square feet of residential space in the university village project at Thompson Rivers University.

residential and market condominium housing built. Eventually, it’s anticipated there will be three-million square feet of residential space, 40,000 square feet of office space and 78,000 square feet of retail space developed, along with other potential amenities. “But if you ask me, ‘Will we be building a restaurant?’ I don’t know right now’,” Sinclair said. The trust has to conform with the university’s master plan, released in 2013. It lists its first key priority as developing student housing, amenities and shopping opportunities. It goes on to identify land just south of the Campus Commons as one designated for mixed-use academic, a description that also includes “intermingling between retail uses, academic spaces and student housing. “ . . . The capacity for more student

housing on campus will improve academic engagement, reduce commuting and improve personal safety by having more people and eyes on pathways within a pedestrian friendly campus. “More student residents will provide a critical population mass to support a greater variety of academic and personal services operating with longer hours on campus. Providing a greater variety of housing types recognizes the increasing diversity of students.” TRU has about 1,200 student-housing units. According to TRU media relations and communications manager Diana Skoglund, there are still some empty units between the three buildings that provide them — Upper College Heights, the Residence and Conference Centre and McGill Residence.

A committee has started to develop a list of new capital-works projects on campus, she said, one that “may well decide more student housing is needed” as it sets a priority list of potential projects in coming years. While the trust responsible for creating The Reach village has about 90 acres of TRU land, Skoglund said the university owns more land that could accommodate new buildings, be they academic, research or housing. Sinclair said the best way to look at it is that the trust is charged with creating a multi-generational community. “We’re trying to build a community for everybody,” Sinclair said. After the next phase, Stone said, development is expected to take place on the land at the corner of McGill Road and Summit Drive.

The community project Thompson Rivers University hopes to start building by next spring has attracted attention from outside the province. Western Investor, a publication that focuses on commercial real estate, franchising and business opportunities in Western Canada, has Kamloops at the top of its list of communities that hold the most potential for real-estate returns. It calls The Reach at TRU “the largest such opportunity in the region.” Editor Frank O’Brien wrote of Kamloops, poised for an economic breakout next year. “With a diversified economy, relative proximity to Metro Vancouver and world-class skiing, lakes and golf, it is also a central transportation hub with three regional highways and two rail lines,” O’Brien wrote. “House prices are lower than the Canadian average and about a third of those in the Lower Mainland. The Kamloops rental vacancy rate is tightening, yet investment condominiums can be found for less than $200,000.” TRU’s university village plan is a long-term project over several decades to create a community on 90 acres, one that could see up to three-million square feet of residential options. Rounding out Western Investor’s top five communities that hold the most potential for real-estate returns are Coquitlam, St. Albert — the only Alberta city on the list — Terrace and Nanaimo. — Dale Bass, KTW

Out of hot water

I went into my furnace room one afternoon and noticed my hot water tank was leaking. I phoned Interior Plumbing and Heating at about 1:30 p.m. After a couple of questions, they dispatched a serviceman with a new tank, which was installed before 4 p.m. My wife and I were totally impressed with the prompt and efficient service and the polite, cheerful technician. — Richard Berry, Kamloop

What I call service

I dropped a necklace, which was a gift from my daughter, down the sink. I called Roto Rooter and they advised they were booked. I decided to pay overtime as the necklace meant a lot to me. The Roto Rooter owner showed up after closing, got the job done and would not take any money for his efforts. Now that’s what I call service. — Darlene Spychka Kamloops

Thank you 6 South

I recently underwent a surgical procedure at RIH. The food notwithstanding, the care I received was outstanding. Doctors Otem and Cameron, who made sure I was fully informed as to what to expect before and after surgery, and the staff of 6 South should be commended for the care and dedication I was shown. What a great team. The student nurses went over and above to help, even though they were not being paid. If they are any indication of our future healthcare workers, we will surely be in good hands. — Walter Jedyk Kamloops DO YOU HAVE CHEERS OR JEERS? EMAIL EDITOR@ KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM.

COMMUNITY David Pitt-Brooke wrote Crossing Home Ground after a seven-leg trip over the years exploring B.C.’s grasslands. The author is in Kamloops to speak about the book and his experience tonight.

(an effort at no-trace camping because there is nothing close to a series of hiking camps). In Osoyoos, he finds himself in the ridiculous position of hiking into a car-camping provincial park and unable to find a spot, booked solid with

trucks, motorhomes and generators. Other times, the hiker and naturalist thinks he’s found the right spot after an exhausting day in his boots, only to find it garbage-strewn and far-from-pristine — such is the nature of the province’s

grasslands. Some of the best hiking and grasslands can be found as close as Lac Du Bois provincial park and as remote as Churn Creek and Junction Sheep Range in the Chilcotin. South, north and in between, Pitt-Brooke muses on everything from development to nostalgia for the Vernon of his childhood. A veterinarian by training and a naturalist by heart, PittBrooke details birds, wildlife and plants along the way in B.C.’s grasslands along with the geology they rest upon. While Pitt-Brooke names Lac Du Bois as one of the best and most accessible places in B.C. for grasslands hiking, he is dismayed by its compromises. “The term ‘Protected Area’ seems to be a form of newspeak, a retreat from

full park status to something, in fact, much less well ‘protected.’ Many activities that would be prohibited in British Columbia parks . . . will be permitted here: continued grazing of livestock, hunting, motorcycle and ATV access, agriculture research and so on . . . One hopes there will be no real estate development, but nowadays one never knows.” Years before he set foot, Pitt-Brooke pored over maps and guides, much of that time without access to Google maps because he spends lots of time off-the-grid, either in Hat Creek Valley or Tofino, where he splits his time. It’s impossible, of course, to separate grass and cattle in British Columbia. Horses, too. Pitt-Brooke is familiar with the

theme, promoted by Grasslands Conservation Council of B.C., that ranching is the best way to preserve the rare ecosystem in B.C. — without ranches, there would be hundreds of ranchettes and acreages running with dogs, horses, ATVs and fences. Despite oversight of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, Pitt-Brooke finds examples of damaged grassland, some grazed to the dirt by horses which chew so close to the ground they ingest soil along with grass. He advocates protected areas shielded from cattle, preservation of ecosystems that developed without grazing before the arrival of horses and cattle in North America. Like the grasslands themselves, Crossing Home Ground is quiet, a place for musing and discovering something that’s right before our eyes.

How would you improve taking the bus? BC Transit to host open houses in Kamloops beginning Nov. 30, with survey also available online ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

BC Transit wants to know what would improve bus travel in the Tournament Capital, as Kamloops prepares to add another 3,000 hours of transit service in September 2017. Starting Wednesday, Nov. 30, the transit company and the city of Kamloops will host a series of open houses aimed at pinning down long wait times, slow connections and other places where the transit system could be improved. Minister of Transportation and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said the new hours amount to enough to add two

DAVE EAGLES/KTW GPS and smartphone technology are expected to allow transit riders to track buses via an app by next year.

new city routes, but will likely be spent improving connections and increasing bus frequency on existing runs.

“There are some neighbourhoods, like Juniper Ridge, that would say they would like to see some added hours of service

up there. “It’s really just figuring out how to best allocate these hours across the system,” he said.

Transit riders can also fill out an online survey at tinyurl.com/z6o2nuk, or tinyurl.com/ jf9xfu3 for students

and parents. Both are online until Dec. 14. Open houses run as follows: • Lansdowne transit exchange, 7:30 a.m. to 9 a.m., Nov. 30; • Thompson Rivers University Old Main Building, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Nov. 30; • North Shore transit exchange, 7 a.m. to 9 a.m., Dec. 1; • Lansdowne transit exchange, 2 p.m. to 4 p.m., Dec. 1; • Northills Mall, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m., Dec. 1; • Sandman Centre for the Kamloops Blazers’ home game, 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Dec. 4.

Technological transit An app that will allow transit riders to

track the movement of Kamloops’ buses with their cellphones is on track to roll out next year. Stone said a tender for the bus-tracking application will be posted by the province soon, which should see the system in place for spring 2017. The app will allow riders to better gauge when their bus is likely to roll up to its stop, Stone said, using GPS technology. New buses arriving in the province next year, including 19 compressed naturalgas buses headed to Kamloops, will be equipped with the systems necessary for tracking, and older vehicles will be fitted in time for the app roll out, Stone said.

From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day, local wineries will welcome visitors to enjoy some vino and seasonal activities, which will take place at Harper’s Trail, Monte Creek Ranch and Privato

The volunteers at the PIT Stop lunch program at Kamloops United Church would love to have someone give them a portable sewing machine. It’s not necessarily at the top of their wish list for items to include in gift bags they will hand out for the annual Christmas dinner at the church on Dec. 11 — but it’s one that will be put to lots of use throughout the year. An estimated 250 gift bags will be distributed at the dinner and donations are being accepted at the church at St. Paul Street and Fourth Avenue. On the list are: gloves or mitts, washcloths and hand towels, underwear (briefs to long-johns), disposable razors, small toiletries, lip balm, packages of hot chocolate, baby wipes, diapers and powdered formula, winter hats and scarves, warm socks, pocket tissues and toilet tissue, combs or hairbrushes, pet treats, cloth shopping bags, small boxes of chocolates and any other Christmas candies. Donations will be accepted until Dec. 8 at the church office. The organization also accepts donations of the clothing, coats, jackets, shoes, boots, sweaters, backpacks, blankets and sleeping bags they make available now through to February. Cash donations are also accepted and tax receipts will be issued.

ProMaster to compete with Ford Transit series, Nissan, Sprinter

iat-Chrysler’s hardest-working brand brings changes to trucks under the Ram umbrella for 2017. Driveway was on scene earlier this summer for an allmodels showing at the company’s Chelsea, U.K. proving grounds. Here is a rundown of the new model year.

The ProMaster commercial van only slightly changes, with improved interior lighting and additional rear-door reflectors. The company also said it is now the bestin-class performer in fuel economy.

The ProMaster seeks to compete against Ford’s Transit series, Nissan’s growing line of commercial vans and its old friend Sprinter (now from Mercedes) in the expanding segment. The big van offers

two engine choices (a gasoline 3.6L V6 or 3.0L diesel) on its highly customizable platform. On the pickup front, the ever popular 1500 leads the group with its — gosh, what is it, 10 trim and package levels in Canada? Add to that three cab styles. I won’t go through

them all, but a couple of notable changes include: The Rebel model gains a backup camera and rear-park assist, anti-spin differential and a jazzier gauge cluster, along with FCA’s latest Uconnect 8.4 display and media hub on the centre stack.

If you are shopping for any of these vehicles, ask for a demonstration of the newgeneration Uconnect system. I found the interface handy and easy and FCA claims enhanced friendliness with both Apple and Android devices. See CHARGER, A24

Charger Pursuit designed for law-enforcement From A23

The 1500 Sport gets a new remote start and security alarm. The Laramie Longhorn adopts a number of features, from the limited trim to better flesh out its equipment level, LED bed lighting, keyless start and rain sensing wipers are now standard. All the Ram trucks also get an upgraded, five-micron cabin air filter. The real work trucks of the Ram family, the 2500/3500 series, expand its lineup with

choices (still including of course the 6.7L Cummins diesel) and a suite of available options and add-ons. News from the Dodge arm: the company continues to thrill the enthusiastic core with updates to the Challenger lineup — including the introduction of two more choices for 2017. Challenger T/A and Challenger T/A 392 borrow styling and performance cues from the Hellcat model — mostly airflow management (the Hellcat-derived ‘air T:10.25” catcher’ headlamps)

Dodge’s new-generation Uconnect system is user-friendly, compatible with both Apple and Android devices.

a new-for-2017 four-byfour off-road package for the 2500 (it gets hilldescent control, skid plate, LSD and Bilstein shocks), and a new Power Wagon trim. Power Wagon features a standard 6.4-

litre Hemi engine in addition to its unique cabin, grille and graphics package. Heavy-duty Rams offer the same extensive array of configurations as the 1500, with three cabs, three engine

and the availability of the extra-bolstered sport seats and performance steering wheel with paddle shifts. Outfitted with either engine (eight-cylinder HEMIs, of course, in 5.7- or 6.2-litre displacements) the new models bring the performance you expect and the stopping power you’ll want — the high performance Brembo system on 392 models is especially effective — while maintaining the menacing curbside stance so important to the Challenger mystique.

Offering more practicality is the Charger sedan group, which also gets a couple of allnew trims in the form of the Daytona and Daytona 392. It offers the same engine choices as the Challenger, but with four doors. Probing the lawenforcement market is the Charger Pursuit. Designed to accept the equipment and tactical tech demands of the profession (it has a 12-inch display screen for the Uconnect system, which Dodge states will

FRANKFURT â€” Volkswagen hopes to bounce back from its diesel-emissions scandal with a shift in focus to more battery-powered cars, digital services such as ride-sharing and more SUVs for the U.S. market. Herbert Diess, head of the Volkswagen core brand, said the goal of the Transform 2025 plan was â€œto fundamentally change Volkswagenâ€™â€™ as it tries to overcome a crisis over cars it rigged to cheat on diesel-emissions tests. The plan foresees new investments in electric-car technology and software that would enable new ways of using and sharing cars. Diess said the Volkswagen division alone expects to sell a million electric vehicles a year by 2025. Including the companyâ€™s other brands, such as SEAT and Skoda, the Volkswagen Group expects to sell up to three-million electrics by then. He said the company would also â€œmassively step upâ€™â€™ its capacity to develop software, aiming to create industry-leading programs and hardware systems for digitally connected and autonomous cars by 2025. Another element of the plan is increasing sales in the U.S. by introducing products more appropriate for the market, such as more SUVs and larger cars. This year, Volkswagen-badged cars have only 1.8 per cent of the U.S. market through October, badly lagging competitors such as General Motors, Ford, Fiat Chrysler and Toyota. Diess also said the company would start making electric vehicles in the U.S. by 2021. Currently Volkswagen makes Passat sedans at its plant in Chattanooga, Tenn. â€œFor years, a concept for success in the U.S. has been lacking,â€™â€™ Diess said at the company headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany. He said the group had been â€œnot on the bandwagonâ€™â€™ for shifting market trends there. He said regional managers would get

No Deception — these falls well worth the hike TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.ca

learned of Deception Falls from the information centre in 100 Mile House. I was told they were named due to the deceptive nature of the trail leading to them. The 0.8-kilometre, 20-minute one-way trail is a narrow path heading uphill, hidden under a forest cover. You are walking uphill the entire time, but your eyes trick you into thinking it’s a flat path. Your lungs, however, are fully aware of the constant incline. When you reach the cliff’s edge, a fence provides a barrier between you and the large drop. From there, you can safely view the falls. Continue on the trail along the fence. When it ends, you come to a great viewpoint. From there, you see the falls at a closer distance. It takes an hour to get to Deception Falls from 100 Mile House.

The road is both paved and gravel and eventually narrows to a single-lane dirt road. On the way back, we accidentally ended up on Bridge Lake Road and took the Yellowhead Highway back to Kamloops, which made for a great circle-route drive. HOW TO GET THERE — From 100 Mile House, travel north for one kilometre. Turn right on Canim-Hendrix Road. Continue past Forest Grove, following the signs to Mahood Lake. Watch for the gravel 8100 Road leading to Wells Gray Park. Enter the park and drive past the campground. Continue driving to the trailhead that is on the left. There is a small sign at the trailhead. Park on the side of the road. Teresa Cline is a local outdoors enthusiast whose website and books open up a world of day-trip possibilities. Find her online at teresathetraveler.ca.

FULL-DECK LINEUP ELUDING BLAZERS MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

on Hay is still waiting for a good, long look at his complete arsenal of players. And, while the Kamloops Blazers’ head coach may get a quick peek at the whole puzzle next week, the Blazers’ top guns likely won’t be assembled for long, with the World Junior Hockey Championship in Toronto and Montreal just around the corner. Connor Ingram, who has a WHL-best save percentage of .932, Rudolfs Balcers and Deven Sideroff, who are one-two in Blazers’ scoring, and shut-down defenceman Ondrej Vala could be called on for international duty in early December and may not return until mid-January. “That’s a group of guys that are really important to our hockey club that we could be losing,” Hay said. “But not having a full lineup, every team goes through that.” The 2016-2017 WHL season started with some of the league’s best players away at NHL camps, rounding out training-camp rosters while the World Cup of Hockey was taking place in Toronto. Ingram, 19, and forwards Garrett Pilon, 18, and Deven Sideroff, 19 — three of nine Blazers who attended pro camps in mid-September — missed the first two games of the regular season, a home-and-home set against the Kelowna Rockets. They returned in time to join the Blazers for a stretch of six straight road games that took them to Victoria, Langley, Red Deer, Calgary and Medicine Hat, a tumultuous period in which the team struggled to find its feet, but discovered the injury bug. The Blazers were 3-5 and missing one of their best defenceman — Dallas Valentine, 20, dislocated his elbow against the Hitmen in Calgary on Oct. 7 — when they returned home to play Spokane on Oct. 12. “It’s been a long journey sitting out and watching a lot of hockey,”

Ondrej Vala would like to play for the Czech Republic at the 2017 World Junior Hockey Championship this winter. He’s not the only Blazer with international intentions. ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

Valentine told KTW. “I’m excited to be close to coming back here. “We’ve got a lot of guys who stepped up and filled those roles.” Kamloops players missed 86 games due to injury in 2015-2016. They had missed 55 as of yesterday. Valentine has been sidelined for 19 games, but might return to the lineup tomorrow when the Blazers play host to the Eastern Conference-leading Regina Pats (16-1-3-0). Game time is 7 p.m. at Sandman Centre. The Blazers were without forward Jackson Shepard and defenceman Luke Zazula from Oct. 27 to Nov. 5, while both 16-year-olds represented Canada at the Under17 World Hockey Challenge in Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. Forward Jermaine Loewen, 18, was hurt on Nov. 12 against Prince George, but was expected to return to the lineup against Spokane in a game played last night after KTW’s press deadline. Find the result online at kam-

loopsthisweek.com. Defencemen Dawson Davidson, 18, and Shaun Dosanjh, 20, each missed a few games earlier this month due to injury and Shepard has been out with an upper-body injury since Nov. 11. Shepard is not expected to return this weekend, but may be back in the lineup in time to play Seattle on Nov. 30 at Sandman Centre. Barring any other injuries, the Blazers will have an empty infirmary and their full complement of players against the T-Birds. “It’s going to be nice to get everybody back and healthy, playing with the right line combinations and right defence pairings,” Hay said. “A coach is always happy when you can get everybody healthy.” Home games against Vancouver on Dec. 3 and Brandon on Dec. 4 should give Hay more time to analyze his team at full strength, but the luxury won’t last long. Ingram and Sideroff will likely receive invitations to the final Team

Canada selection camp, which will run from Dec. 11 to Dec. 15 in Blainville, Que., meaning their last game in blue and orange will be against Brandon on Dec. 4. Should either player make the national team, they could miss as many as 14 WHL games and be absent until the Blazers play host to Everett on Jan. 13. “You always have injuries you have to deal with,” Blazers’ general manager Stu MacGregor said. “But we haven’t had a goaltender leave us in the middle of the year since . . . I can’t even remember when.” Whether Vala cracks the Czech Republic’s roster or Sideroff squeaks onto Team Canada remains to be seen, but Ingram is a good bet to don the Maple Leaf and Balcers is expected to play for Latvia. Balcers will remain with the Blazers until Dec. 15 before heading east. Backup goaltender Dylan Ferguson will likely be thrown into the fire as the Blazers fight to hold onto ground recently gained

in the B.C. Division, before the cavalry returns in January. “That’s pretty late, only about two months until playoffs when those guys get back, but we have a good group and a deep team this year,” Blazers’ captain Collin Shirley said. “We just have to stick to the systems when guys go missing.”

Aris Anagnostopolous, pictured here playing for the junior B Kamloops Storm earlier this season, is aiming to stay with the junior A Prince George Spruce Kings. Storm GM Barry Dewar says losing good players is tough, but part of the team’s development model.

Forward Josh Maser and starting goaltender Aris Anagnostopolous appear to be in Prince George for the long haul. Speaking with KTW this week, Storm general manger Barry Dewar confirmed Anagnostopolous and Maser would be with their respective clubs for at least another month, possibly for the remainder of the season in Maser’s case. Dewar admitted it can be tough to steadily lose players to other levels of hockey, but reiterated that helping players develop and move up the ranks of junior is the primary goal of Kamloops’ junior B franchise. “We get good players because we don’t stand in their way and our coaches can help them move on,” he said. “They’re all good young players that want to advance their hockey careers and we want to help them. It’s a good thing.” Anagnostopoulos last played for the Storm on Nov. 12, recording a 3-2 overtime loss to the Wranglers in 100 Mile House. He has yet to play a game with the B.C. Hockey League’s Spruce

Kings — a junior A franchise — backing up former Storm goaltender Tavin Grant on Nov. 18 and Nov. 19. “It feels good to be staying here,” Anagnostopoulos told KTW. “I’m trying to make the most out of this opportunity, that I haven’t been given before, in the short amount of time I have up here. “I finally have the shot I’ve been waiting for, so I just need to stick to the game I know I can play and, hopefully, things will look bright in the future.” In 16 games in Kamloops this season, Anagnostopoulos was the model of consistency, often the club’s most effective player.

He played to a 7-6-11 record with a 2.63 goals-against average and a .916 save percentage. The Kelowna-born goalkeeper entered his first KIJHL season with a chip on his shoulder, battling a reputation as a player who didn’t care — a reputation with which he said he was unfairly saddled. “I feel like, with good performances, I’ll prove the critics wrong,” he said. “I haven’t proven anything yet.” Maser, meanwhile, has been out of the Kamloops lineup since Oct. 29. In six games with the Storm, he recorded 12 points, including seven goals. Maser came to Kamloops after he was traded to the Prince George Cougars by the Prince Albert Raiders. His recent stint in PG has been spent with the major-junior club, the Western Hockey League’s best, and has not yet seen him enter the lineup. “It was quite a jump from playing in Kamloops — the pace of practice has been a lot faster, so I’ve been improving by playing at a faster pace,” Maser said. “It would be great if

they could get me into the lineup, but with the team they have and the depth throughout the lineup, it won’t be easy.” The Storm will be in action twice this weekend, tomorrow in Kelowna against the Chiefs and on Saturday at home to Armstrong’s North Okanagan Knights. The club split action last weekend, winning 7-2 at Memorial Arena against the Sicamous Eagles, a night after losing 1-0 in the Houseboat Capital of Canada. It has been an upand-down season for the Storm and Dewar said he expects the most recent roster losses will see his team hover around .500 in the coming weeks. He admitted some frustration at losing impact players. But, he said, without such a development model, most of those players wouldn’t come to the Storm in the first place. “You don’t get a Garrett Ewert and an Evan Walls because you want to win a championship,” he said. “You get a Garrett Ewert and an Evan Walls because they want to move to the next level.”

PREMIER LEAGUE CHAMPS

Kolton Storzuk and Jared Keim of Kamloops are EA Sports BC Soccer Premier League champions. Both players are members of the under-17 Thompson Okanagan Football Club squad that edged Mountain FC in the League Cup final last Saturday in Surrey. Kamloops players Allison Amy, Kiera Howaniec and Liesl Milovick were part of the first TOFC team to win a BCSPL title, the under-13 girls’ group that topped Coastal FC 3-1 in the league championship final in Kelowna in June. TOFC fields girls’ and boys’ teams in under-12 to under-18 divisions in the league, which had its inaugural season in 2012 and features many of the best the province has to offer in those age groups.

SABRES NOT THRILLED WITH 12TH ADAM WILLIAMS

STAFF REPORTER

adam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The Sa-Hali Sabres have built their program on zone and provincial successes. But even good teams have difficult seasons. The Sabres finished 12th at the 2016 B.C. Secondary Schools AA Boys Soccer Championships yesterday, losing 1-0 to Delta’s Sands Scorpions in their final game of the tournament. It was tough to swallow for a program that has come to expect medal contention every time it steps on the pitch. “Obviously, we’re disappointed. We always strive for higher,” said Mary Bartucci, who has coached the Sabres for 18 years and led the club to three consecutive Okanagan Valley championships from 2013 to 2015, provincial silver medals in 2014 and 2015 and a B.C. title in 2010. “But there were some really good teams there this year and they were good battles,” she continued. “In normal tournaments, you have the super, super strong

and then you have the definitely much weaker. It was way more even this year. Teams that were playing for 14th, 15th, 16th were still strong teams.” The Sabres opened the 16-team provincial championship with a draw, playing to a 1-1 result against the Pitt Meadows Marauders. Sa-Hali went on to lose 6-0 against North Vancouver’s Bodwell Bruins before picking up a 3-1 win in its final round-robin game against the Charles Hays RainMakers of Prince Rupert. In the Okanagan championship earlier this month, it was a last-minute goal that sank the Sabres — Vernon’s W.L. Seaton Sonics scored with 10 seconds remaining in overtime to force penalty kicks, the Sabres eventually losing to finish second. Against the Marauders, a last-minute effort again hurt Sa-Hali, this time with Pitt Meadows scoring with five seconds left to replace the Sabres’ win with a draw. “That one will sting for a while because that would have put us second in our pool and we’d have been playing for fifth to eighth [place],” Bartucci said. “That one stung a little bit,

but that’s just experience. Those things happen in sport.” The Sabres are a young team, much of which will be back next season. Bartucci said the provincial championship was an opportunity for her Grade 9 and Grade 10 students to get a look at what they would be facing down the road — to begin to prepare. Still, no one in the Sa-Hali uniform was satisfied with the team’s finish, whether it was a young group or not. “My guys always want more,” Bartucci said. “They have very high standards for themselves. “So, there is a level of disappointment, but they’re also fairly realistic. The disappointment is there, but I think they’ll be able to put it where it belongs fairly quickly.” The Saanich-based St. Michaels University Blue Jags went on to capture the provincial crown, defeating Bodwell in the championship game, 2-1. The Sonics, who defeated Sa-Hali in the zone championship to take the Okanagan Valley title, lost the bronzemedal game to the Langley Fundamental Titans in penalty kicks, 1-0.

Sun Peaks to open Saturday Sun Peaks will open its 2016-2017 skiing and snowboarding season on Saturday, a week later than planned. Opening day will feature all lift tickets at half-price. Warm temperatures and a lack of snow

postponed the planned opening day of Nov. 19. The forecast this week at the resort 45 minutes northeast of Kamloops is for some snow and cooler temperatures, which will allow for the snowmaking system to be used.

While terrain will be limited, more details will be released as the week progresses. Plans include likely downloading on the Sunburst chair, with skiing and riding at mid-mountain elevations. Conditions per-

mitting, Sun Peaks will also open limited Nordic skiing trails on Saturday. The outlook may improve today or tomorrow. Go online to sunpeaksresort.com for the latest.

SEVENS HEAVEN No Luck on their side THE CANADIAN PRESS

VANCOUVER — The HSBC Canada Sevens slated for Vancouver in March is 85 per cent sold out, according to organizers. Last year’s debut Canadian stop on the men’s rugby sevens circuit saw 60,418 fans take in the tournament over two days at B.C. Place Stadium. The event sold out the 28,000 lower bowl, with organizers subsequently putting 5,000 upper bowl tickets each day on sale. Tournament CEO Bill Cooper called the 2016 sales “a tremendous milestone for rugby in Canada, to have achieved that so many months before the tournament [March 11 and March 12].’’ Organizers made the 5,000 upper bowl seats available from the get-go this year. That could push attendance

to 66,000 over the two days with the possibility of more upper bowl seats being sold if needed. Cooper, however, said organizers would be watchful that the atmosphere not be diminished by empty seats in the upper bowl. “That’s a huge priority for us . . . The more likely scenario is we stick with 66,000, protect the atmosphere,’’ he said. General admission tickets are $99 for the weekend, with single-day tickets available Monday at $55. Premium and reserved seating are sold out. The Vancouver stop is one of 10 on the World Series, which opens on Dec. 2 in Dubai. Fans witnessed 272 tries and 1,694 points scored over two days and 45 games last year at B.C. Place.

Szabados returns CALGARY — Goaltender Shannon Szabados has returned to the Canadian women’s hockey team. The two-time Olympian, who was the winning goalie in both the 2014 and 2010 Olympic women’s hockey finals, was among the 22 players named yesterday to the Canadian team for a two-game series against the United States in December. The 30-year-old from Edmonton hasn’t played for Canada’s women since her 27 saves in Olympic women’s hockey final in Sochi, Russia, in 2014. She spent the last two seasons in men’s pro hockey playing goal for the Columbus Cottonmouths of the South Professional Hockey League. Her overall record was 20-20-6 and she carried a save percentage better than .900 each year. Szabados started this season with the SPHL’s Peornia Rivermen, but was released after their opening weekend in October. She played parts of two games with a goals-against average of 6.10 and a save percentage of .792. The Fort Saskatchewan Chiefs, a men’s senior triple-A team in Alberta, announced Sunday that Szabados has joined their team. The Canadian women face the United States on Dec. 17 in Plymouth, Mich., and in Sarnia, Ont., on Dec. 19. (Canadian Press)

MICHAEL MAROT

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

INDIANAPOLIS — Pittsburgh Steelers coach Mike Tomlin guessed wrong. He expected Andrew Luck to overcome a head injury and suit up for tonight’s primetime game. Instead, the Indianapolis Colts ruled out their star quarterback yesterday after he missed practice for the third straight day. The likely replacement will be the rarely used Scott Tolzien, whom Tomlin doesn’t have much tape on because Tolzien hasn’t played since the pre-season. But Tomlin didn’t win two Super Bowls without successfully devising contingency plans — and he’ll have to rely on that experience to win at Indy. “I just think it’s prudent for us to prepare for Andrew and then react to whatever may transpire that’s different than that, as opposed to the other way around,’’ Tomlin told Indianapolis reporters during a conference call before yesterday’s injury report was released. Indy (5-5), of course, did a good job keeping Luck’s status shrouded because that’s how NFL teams operate. Pagano didn’t drop any hints about his backup plan, either, when he told reporters on Tuesday simply that the Colts had “options.’’ The most likely scenario, of course, is that Pagano sticks with Tolzien. Otherwise, Pagano could go with Stephen Morris, a practice squad player who was promoted to the active roster yesterday, some combination of both or use running back Frank Gore in the wildcat formation as the Colts have done sporadically the past two games. None of those options, of course, would be as promising as having Luck. There’s no choice now, and Pagano can’t afford to fret with a critical game looming between two playoff contenders. “It’s just football. It’s life in the National Football League,’’ he said. “They’re not cancelling the game and so we’ll put our best foot forward.’’ Complicating matters is that Pittsburgh (5-5) has posed major problems for the Colts. They’ve won the past three in the

series, the past two by a combined score of 96-44. Losing Luck, who entered the concussion protocol Sunday night after complaining of concussion-like symptoms following a victory over Tennessee, won’t help. But with only four days between Sunday night’s diagnosis and this week’s game there wasn’t enough time to get him cleared by doctors and the Colts finally made the decision to hold him out. “You can rub dirt on a lot of things, but you can’t rub dirt on the brain so you have to be smart with that,’’ said Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.

He was the father of two sons John (Maureen) and Phil (Tevis), grandfather to Liam, Andy, Kathy, Ailish, and Conall and great-grandfather to Elliot and William. He also leaves behind many relatives in Canada and England. With his family, Gordon immigrated to Canada from his home in Liverpool, England in 1957, settling first in Kelowna and then Kamloops, before retiring and finally moving to Qualicum Beach in 1996. Gordon was defined, as were many of his generation, by his service to his nation in WWII, in his case as a pilot in the RAF. He was bright, interesting and loved for his gentle nature. Gordon’s greatest commitments were to his family and his faith. His love of Peigi was inspirational. A Memorial Service will be held at 1:00 pm on Monday, November 28, 2016 at St. Stephen’s United Church, 150 Village Way in Qualicum Beach, BC.

First Memorial Funeral Service

Vince was born on August 17, 1944 in Lago, Cosenza, Italy. There he developed a love of the outdoors which included hunting, fishing and gardening. He learned the art of making salami and wine which he continued to perfect throughout the course of his life. Vince also spent some of his earlier years working in Germany. In 1975, with the help of his brother Sergio, he brought his family to Ottawa, Ontario where they spent five wonderful years there reconnecting with many close family and friends. In May 1980, he moved his family to Kamloops. He worked for CN Rail for many years and retired as a welder. In retirement, Vince really got to enjoy his hobbies again which included the outdoors. His “green thumb” was the envy of many as seen in his garden, lawn and orchard. He was a master pruner of trees and many friends benefited from his skill. He enjoyed many bocce games at home and as a long time member at the Colombo Lodge. Vince was an avid walker for many years and could be seen walking every morning at McArthur Island Park, rain or shine. Some of Vince’s cherished memories include mushroom picking, cod fishing at night, overnight hunting trips and completing his prized cantina and cold room. He was a man of many talents and for this he will be truly missed by all his family and friends. Time spent with all his very close friends and acquaintances especially over these last few years will not be forgotten by Vince or his family. He would rearrange his schedule and drop everything to spend time with everyone who wanted to visit. You all brought a big smile to his face and your visits stayed with him long after you had gone home. The family would like to extend heartfelt thanks to Dr. Pretorius, Dr. Montgomery and all the amazing, caring nurses and respiratory therapists on 4N at R.I.H. As per Vince’s request, a private family service was held on November 18th, 2016. Should friends desire, in lieu of flowers, a donation may be made for a memorial bench in Vince’s name at any Royal Bank of Canada Branch, (account number 03520-003-504818-6).

Timothy Edward Arduini

James Edward (“Ted”) Smith April 8, 1933 – September 15, 2016

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of James Edward “Ted” Smith, well-known painter and a kind and gentle man. Ted was born in Vernon on April 8, 1933, the only child of stock buyer and brand inspector, James Alexander Smith and teacher, Alma Louisa Smith (nee Johnson). After spending his first years in Lumby, Ted’s family moved briefly to Barriere and finally settled in Kamloops in 1942. Upon graduating from high school, Ted worked for the CN and completed several years of university, first at Victoria College, and then at UBC before finding his way to the Vancouver School of Art (now Emily Carr University). He completed the 4-year diploma in painting and drawing, studying under teachers such as accomplished artists Jack Shadbolt and Don Jarvis. In 1964, he returned to Kamloops, which was to remain his home for the rest of his life. Ted dedicated his life to painting, exhibiting notably at the former Oasis Gallery, in private local exhibitions, and at the Kamloops Art Gallery, which curated many exhibitions of his work, including Ted Smith: Three Decades of Colour, April 16 to May 17, 1992 (Solo exhibition), Home Grown: Five from the Region, December 10, 2000 to February 4, 2001 (Group exhibition), Ted Smith and A.Y. Jackson: Familiar Territory, March 26 to May 28, 2011 (Group exhibition), and most recently, a major solo exhibition, Ted Smith: A Retrospective, June 28 to August 30, 2014. His works are found in many private collections in Canada, the U.S. and Europe. A

Vince was dearly loved by his siblings Pina, Maria, Franco, Iole, Sergio and Silvana along with their families. “Zio” will be missed by his many nieces and nephews in both Italy and Ottawa, Ontario. He is also survived by his in-laws, nieces, nephews and a host of long time friends in Kamloops. He was predeceased by his parents Silvio and Luigina.

It is with deep regret we announce the passing of Timothy Edward Arduini at the age of 70 years in the early hours of Thursday, November 17, 2016.

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

He had a lifelong interest in the outdoors - hunting and fishing with friends and family. He enjoyed making wine and took great pride in his gardens. He loved the antics of his little dogs who proved to be such wonderful companions for him. As a lifelong resident of Kamloops, Tim leaves many behind to remember him. At his request there will be no service.

THE TIME IS NOW (Author Unknown)

If you are ever going to love me, Love me now, while I can know The sweet and tender feelings Which from true affection flow. Love me now While I am living. Do not wait until I’m gone And then have it chiseled in marble, Sweet words on ice-cold stone. If you have tender thoughts of me, Please tell me now. If you wait until I am sleeping, Never to awaken, There will be death between us, And I won’t hear you then. So, if you love me, even a little bit,

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the charity of your choice.

Let me know it while I am living

There is a special place in our heart for the one we call brother.

So I can treasure it.

Obituaries & In Memoriam William Harold (Bill) Stager William Harold (Bill) Stager passed away peacefully in the loving presence of his family on November 13, 2016 after a short illness. He is survived by Marjorie his wife of 51 years, and his children Mary (Andrew) and Geoffrey (Tracey). Bill was born to Harold Kimberley and Mary Elizabeth Stager on December 11, 1937 in Preston (Cambridge, Ontario. The youngest of four children, he is survived by older siblings John Stager (Joan), Charles Stager and Elizabeth Acford (Darrell). Bill grew up over the funeral home that his family owned and operated on Queen Street, Preston. The Stager family enjoyed summer vacations at cottages on Lake Couchiching and the Severn River where Bill developed his love of fishing and the outdoors. At a young age, Bill followed the family’s passion for golf and went on to win the Ontario Juvenile Boys Championship twice, in 1953 and 1954. He eventually followed older brother John out to Vancouver B.C. in 1958 where he studied sciences at UBC. Bill worked in various nightclubs most notably The Cave, where he developed his love of jazz. Eventually he embarked on his career in sales working at Lance Bissett where Bill learned the construction trade and met Marjorie Camm; the two married on August 28th, 1965. The newly married couple settled in Kamloops where they happily raised both children Mary and Geoff. Bill trained to be a designer and worked at MacDonald Supply where he was the first to offer microwave cooking classes to anyone who purchased a

microwave oven (the new technology of the time). Bill then went into a successful partnership with his friend Werner Windbiel opening the doors to Designer Kitchens and Interiors in 1983. For over thirty years, Bill’s talents as a salesman and designer earned him the respect of the Kamloops business community. Bill’s passion for golf stayed strong as Bill joined the Kamloops Golf and Country Club in 1971, serving as club president twice; he played his beloved game three times a week until his illness. In 1997, Bill was excited to attend the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia with his good friend Bill Wright. In his retirement, Bill enjoyed fishing, cooking, reading and his weekly football pools at the Fox and Hounds pub. He and Marjorie made two trips to Europe where they enjoyed sightseeing with a group of friends and family. Bill’s trip to St. Andrews Golf Club in Scotland was a personal highlight. Throughout his life, Bill was known for his honesty, his sense of humour, his generosity and his kindness. His beautiful heart will be greatly missed by many. The family would like to say thank-you to all the doctors and nurses in the ICU at Royal Inland Hospital for their exceptional care of Bill in his final days. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC in Bill’s honour. A Celebration of Bill’s Life will be held at the Kamloops Golf and Country Club on Sunday, December 4th, 2016 at 2:00 pm. Please join us to tell stories of Bill’s life and to celebrate this wonderful man. “Goodbyes are only for those who love with their eyes Because for those who love with their heart and soul There is no such thing as separation.” -- Rumi

Kim Eileen Ward 1961 - 2016

Kim Ward suddenly and tragically was entered into rest Monday, November 14, 2016. Kim was a mother, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a daughter, a grandmother, a friend; an angel who lived on earth. She lived for others selflessly and was looking forward to her retirement that was soon approaching: “freedom 55!” She said “This year is for me.” Kim parted too soon and had plenty more to see and memories to make. She is in Heaven tending the gardens and it is more beautiful now she is in it. Kim is longingly remembered by her eternal loving husband Wendell, and her daughters Shandell, Kassandra and grandson Jaxson, pets Molly and Ebony and countless friends and family. She was predeceased by her grandog Jake. A Memorial Service will commence at 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, November 26, 2016 at St. Andrews On The Square, 159 Seymour Street, Kamloops, BC. Should friends desire, donations may be made to the BC SPCA in her honour. On-line condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Never Quit

AUTHOR UNKNOWN

When things go wrong as they sometimes will, When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill When funds are low and debts are high And you want to smile, but you have to sigh, When care is pressing down a bit, Rest if you must, but don’t you quit. Success is failure turned inside out – The silver tint of the clouds of doubt, And you never can tell how close you are, It may be near when it seems so far, So, stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit – It’s when things seem worst that You must not quit!
