Loan program unveiled for homebuyers CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The B.C. Liberal government will match down payments for first-time homebuyers through a loan program intended to make housing more affordable for young people. Premier Christy Clark said yesterday the province will partner with first-time buyers through the B.C. Home Owner Mortgage and Equity Partnership. The program will provide a loan matching a buyer’s down payment up to five per cent or $37,500 of the purchase price. “We’ve invested in affordable rental housing, we’ve invested in transitional and emergency housing and now we’re partnering with firsttime buyers to make the purchase of their first home more affordable,” Clark said in a statement. Under the terms, there is no interest or repayment on the loan for the first five years. It is then conventionally financed over the next 20 years at the prevailing rate of interest. Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone said the program is aimed at buyers who can afford a mortgage, but are struggling to come up with a larger down payment. “We want first-time buyers who are qualified for a mortgage to know they’ve got a partner in the B.C. government to put that final piece of the financing puzzle together,” he said. Stone gave an example of a typical $360,000 home in Kamloops.
“We would provide an interest-free, payment-free loan of $18,000 (five per cent). The first-time buyer would come up with the other $18,000.” Michael Henry, Thompson Rivers University’s dean in the school of business and economics, applauded the province for devising a way to help young people squeezed out of the market by inflation, despite historic low interest rates. “In my view, if we didn’t do something, we wouldn’t be addressing the social contact we have with young people . . . In the last five years in many jurisdictions, it’s been almost impossible for them to buy a house.” Under the program, buyers would suddenly find themselves with a second loan in their sixth year of ownership — another payment that will be on top of children, job loss or other circumstances. But Henry doesn’t see parallels with the mortgage crisis in the United States, where buyers were given interest-only loans that were converted to high-leverage debt in the markets. “On the surface, I see it as a responsible way for government to support the entry-level market,” he said. City mortgage broker Starr Webb said it will take weeks to determine how the program will affect first-time buyers. The program begins on Jan. 16, but she said lenders need to determine how the loans will affect their own risk and books.

“The first question is: How are lenders going to view these funds?” Webb said. “The second one is: Are we just postponing future debt for people?” The program comes in the wake of the federal government moving to cool some markets by requiring buyers with high-ratio mortgages to qualify under the Bank of Canada’s five-year rate, a so-called stress test. That requirement is making it harder to qualify for a mortgage at the same time as the province is making it easier. But Stone said the federal and provincial programs do not conflict. “They’re not at cross-purposes. One of the eligibility criteria is you have to meet all the federal mortgage criteria. This will help people who can afford the payments, but are challenged to some degree to come up with a down payment,” he said. “We’re trying to help people with a down payment. They still have to meet the stress test.” B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver blamed the province for policies that have led to rampant speculation and inflation in the Lower Mainland market. He said the homebuyer program is setting young people up for decades of debt. “We have seen the dangerous consequences of this type of policy in the United States. It became easier and easier for people to take on unaffordable mortgages, leading to crippling debt, the collapse of the housing market and first-time home buyers losing their livelihoods,” Weaver said in a statement.

LOCAL NEWS WATCHING THE RIVER FLOES
The North Thompson River remains choked with ice floes as the Arctic blast maintains its frigid grip on the Tournament Capital. The mercury will remain mired in the deep-freeze territory for the next few days, with a reprieve expected next week. Environment Canada is calling for a balmy high of -3C by Monday and a relatively sweltering high of 2 C by Wednesday. DAVE EAGLES/KTW
HAVE YOU BEEN SERVED? Being served with a legal claim can be troublesome. In addition to the stress of being sued, you only have a limited amount of time to respond to the claim. If you don’t respond in time, the party who initiated the claim might be able to obtain “default judgment” against you. This means that the party who was sued can obtain judgment without having to prove their claim before the court. This is not good for you!
SO... WHAT DO YOU NEED TO DO?
Lafarge tax impact minimal
It’s crucial to respond to a claim within the timelines provided by the rules of court. However, you need to know that there are different types of claims and different levels of court. The type of claim and the level of court will determine how long you have to respond.

Despite fears of a hit to the city’s bottom line, there appears to be no looming property tax loss due to the mothballing of Lafarge’s cement manufacturing operation. Acting assessor Graham Held said Lafarge asked for what is known as a “closure allowance” under the Assessment Act following the announcement in late October it will no longer produce cement at its east Kamloops plant. A closure allowance allows capital equipment that is shut down, but not removed, to be reduced to 10 per cent of its taxable value. But the age of equipment at Lafarge means it was already at, or near, full depreciation, Held said. “It’s not a complete shutdown and we’re not slashing the value,” he said.
Lafarge’s cement plant in east Kamloops.
The B.C. Assessment Authority has now set the value of Lafarge’s assets, some of which will still be in operation at the distribution plant, at $3.9 million, down about $400,000. That is not expected to make a difference to the city budget, nor shift more than a few tens of thousand dollars of cost to the two remaining heavy industries remaining in Kamloops: Domtar Corp. and Tolko Industries Ltd. City taxation and revenue
manager Parissa Bhullar said it’s too early to determine the tax loss from Lafarge’s reduction of operations, but she acknowledged “it’s not going to be significant.” Lafarge paid about $550,000 in property taxes to the city in the most recent year. Domtar is the city’s largest contributor, at about $5.1 million a year. It has consistently asked the city for tax breaks for heavy industry for more than a decade.

uddled over a warm bowl of chili, he said you have to be lazy to go hungry in Kamloops. “There’s one or two meals every day,” said one person Tuesday at Mount Paul United Church on the North Shore, where students from the Girls Group at Twin Rivers Education Centre (TREC) were serving lunch for the homeless. Finding a meal isn’t much of a challenge, said the man, who wished to remain anonymous. Keeping warm has been, with temperatures reaching near record-setting lows. Last night, the mercury was predicted to drop to -29 C with the wind chill. But several people who spoke to KTW said they prefer being outside, finding a spot on the riverfront where the embankment blocks the freezing wind.

spots, one said. A couple of them will head to St. Paul’s Anglican Church for Out of the Cold on Wednesday and Sunday nights. But they won’t bother to seek nightly shelter at Emerald Centre, saying they prefer to do without the various rules. Instead, they will wander into malls to get rid of the chill in their bones and anticipate their next stop. By 1 p.m. Tuesday, at least two weren’t sure where they’d be spending the night. “We’re really trying to find out what’s holding them back from coming inside the shelters,” said Bob Hughes, executive director of ASK Wellness Centre. “When it gets this cold, we try to get our outreach teams out there even after hours and see if we can make some headway. “We still have a significant number of people who are not coming inside.” Hughes’ team has ramped up its street outreach efforts in response to the opioid crisis, working closely with Emerald Centre and Out of the Cold to offer overnight housing. ASK has 30 motel units to offer as an alternative to the
shelters, specifically reserved for extreme winter conditions. “Not a slight on either facility, but there’s requirements and rules and, for some people, they say, ‘I will not go to the shelter’ and they’ve said that all along,” Hughes said, noting Kamloops is without a shelter that allows couples. Emerald Centre has 42 beds that are full several nights of the week, said executive director Christa Mullaly last week. But the shelter is admitting everyone who comes to its door and has turned no one away since Nov. 1. On some nights, they will have a surplus of 15 or 20 people. An additional 25 overflow beds were made available at New Life Community Kamloops as of Monday, with an average of 22 people staying each night this week. “It’s really been busy for staff over there,” said executive director Stan Dueck. “Really hectic, but it’s gone really well so far.” Bud Forbes, chairman of Out of the Cold, said numbers have remained consistent since the twice-weekly program started Nov. 1. It has 28 beds that are full every
Wednesday and Sunday night and another 20 people who come in for just the meal. Many will return to their outdoor camps without complaint. Numbers haven’t significantly increased since the extreme weather alert was issued last week, Forbes said. “They say it’s much easier to stay warm right now than it is to stay warm when it’s -2 because it’s totally dry and they just layer up,” he said. “People are still sleeping on the river. We get people that come in for just the meal and they just can’t stay, so they head back to wherever they’re going. They’ve got all their sleeping bags and their tarps and they say it’s fine right now.” One man, wrapped
in a thick blanket Tuesday at Mount Paul United Church, said he has considered starting a small fire at his riverbank camp, but he’s managed to stay warm with sleeping bags and blankets. Another, who spent the last seven years on the street, relied on propane heaters and candles. This year, he found a motorhome for the winter. Others will seek out friends for an overnight bed. “This cold snap is really hard,” said a young man, who would only go by ‘G.’ “Any other time, it’s not that bad. But when it’s this cold, it’s hard. “When you have other people doing it with you, you push yourself to keep going. You keep each other warm.”

THE HOT AND NOT OF THE WEEK Kamloops This Week looks at the stories of the week — the good, the bad and all in-between:
NOT: The provincial government’s B.C. Home Owner Mortgage and Equity Partnership program, which will give first-time homebuyers 25-year loans to a maximum of $37,500 or up to five per cent of the purchase price, loans that match the buyer’s down payment. The loans are interest-free and payment-free for the first five years. While Premier Christy Clark said the program will help more people enter the market, it seems to be contrary to decisions by Ottawa to tackle the issue of people holding unaffordable mortgages. B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver’s words should be heeded as this program progresses: “Instead of tackling the real problems that are causing out of control housing prices — like deregulation and speculation — the government is announcing a bandaid solution that will build an even bigger housing crisis down the road. “We have seen the dangerous consequences of this type of policy in the United States. It became easier and easier for people to take on unaffordable mortgages, leading to crippling debt, the collapse of the housing market and first-time home buyers losing their livelihoods.”
OUR
VIEW
HOT: City of Kamloops crews and associated contractors for the impressive response this week when a sewer main burst in Lorne Street, sending effluent into the street. Digging up the road, finding the cracked pipe, removing it, replacing it and trying to stem the flow of sewage from nearby homes and the South Thompson River was a daunting job made more difficult in frigid temperatures. The job was done about 13 hours after the leak was first noticed. Kudos to the crews for a job well done.

Hoarding history
T
here’s a terrific story in yesterday’s sports pages about a time machine that landed in KTW’s newsroom and took some of us to the glorious past. The time machine is in the form of a fascinating collection of hockey ephemera handed over by Joanne Lifford, the widow of Doug Lifford, a sports fanatic who died in July. I never met Doug, but I feel a kinship with him as I, too, tend to hang on to just about everything that comes my way. Some (most) is true junk, but the rest constitutes bookmarks to my life — a ticket stub here, a T-shirt there, a Grade 4 report card that showed a young Christopher Foulds headed for a life of crime, if the series of X’s in the behaviour boxes were an indication of the future. But true gems can be found in the other stuff, gems worth not much on the open market, but which I consider priceless. There are the various original newspapers heralding the history-making headlines of the day: when John F. Kennedy was assassinated on Nov. 22, 1963, when man landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, when a killer tornado roared through Edmonton (and four blocks from my townhouse, from which I watched in terror and fascination as the midnight-black funnel cloud sweep into the city) on July 31, 1987, when former prime minister Pierre Trudeau died on Sept. 28, 2000, and when son Justin became PM on Oct. 19, 2015. There are sports-related
CHRISTOPHER FOULDS
Newsroom
MUSINGS memories, far too many for one man to have and not one of which will leave my possession. There’s a baseball autographed by Barry Zito in his Cy Young-winning year of 2002, his inscription dedicated to my then-one-year-old son: “To Atticus: Long Live the Expos!” Zito wrote on the official MLB ball in impressive cursive. There’s a coaster on which Wayne Gretzky penned a message to me in the mid-1980s, courtesy of my eldest sister, who then worked in The Boiler Lounge in Edmonton, a favourite haunt of the dynastic Oilers. There is also the 10-pin bowling pin standing proudly on a bookcase at home, the one featuring a self-portrait of Jeffrey Lebowski, sketched by The Dude himself — Jeff Bridges. “For Chris,” he wrote above the portrait with a Sharpie, below which he signed his name. Such treasures are possible when your brother works in the film business. Like I said — priceless. Doug’s box of Kamloops and
regional hockey history were, undoubtedly, as priceless to him — and understandably so. There is a trend now to declutter, to rid our homes of those unnecessary items that are clogging up our drawers and banishing our vehicles from garages. It will clear your head, they say. It will cleanse your soul. It will re-establish your being on solid ground. But those who purge regularly and don’t think twice about tossing that ticket stub from the Grey Cup game or the last Hip concert will never understand. They will never experience the feeling of opening that box of stuff that has been under the stairs for a few years and finding hours pass by a though they were minutes as hands sort through a lifetime of experiences. Sure, you can snap some photos and download the images onto your laptop, thereby transforming the tactile into cold bits and bytes and ones and zeroes — and try to remember to back it all up on a hard drive for when the laptop finally crashes, as it most certainly will. My NHL scrapbook from Grade 7, however, remains in admirable shape as a toothless Bobby Clarke smiles out at me from the box in which it resides. I bet Doug got that. I bet he, like me, wasn’t a declutterer. And I bet he was richer for it. Never forget — hoarders hold history. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
ONLY FAMILY COMING FIRST IS CLARK’S RICH PALS Editor: When will the B.C. Liberal government stop lying and deceiving taxpayers of B.C.? As a senior couple reliant on government pensions and savings for a modest income, we were encouraged by Premier Christy Clark’s announcement in September to scrap the increase in MSP premiums that was to come into effect in 2017, along with a promise to review MSP fees if re-elected. She stated this was possible based on a larger than expected tax surplus and was a means of giving back to British Columbians. However, as was stated at the time of the announcement by
CTV, the devil was in the detail, cautioning British Columbians that, despite Clark’s promised relief, 530,000 couples without kids would see their premiums rise on Jan. 1. This includes most seniors. I am now in receipt of my MSP billing for January 2017: It is $150, up from $136, a whopping 10.6 per cent increase. It is yet another example how the Gordon Campbell/Clark government has had a total disregard for seniors. When the Liberals came to power in 2001, the monthly MSP premium for a family of two was $64. When I retired in 2009, it was $109. The 2017 rate reflects an increase of 134.4 per cent
since this government was first elected — or 37.6 per cent since I retired — a far cry from the meagre inflationary increases seniors have realized in their pensions, based on Canada’s Consumer Price Index. And let us not forget B.C. is the only jurisdiction in Canada that levies a health-care premium. All other jurisdictions fund health care through income taxes. Furthermore, this government routinely reminds us we have the lowest tax rate in Canada, which is only true for those couples with a taxable income greater than $106,000. For the rest of us, this statement is at best misleading and probably an outright lie when
one considers MSP premiums (a regressive tax on the middle class), along with dividends (yet another form of taxation that targets lower- and middle-income earners unfairly) paid in by BC Hydro ($520 million 2016-2017) and ICBC ($360 million in 20162017). Frankly, I am at a loss to explain how anyone, and in particular seniors, with a taxable income of between $42,000 and $106,000 could possibly support this government. When Clark proudly trumps her “family-first” policy, remember it is in reference to the B.C. Liberal family and its rich friends. David Parsons Kamloops
NO INFORMATION ON REFORM LET’S INUNDATE PROVINCIAL Editor: Re: KTW’s editorial of Nov. 29 (‘Trudeau’s vow may be hollow’): You have acknowledged the issue of electoral reform. You have challenged Minister of Democratic Institutions Maryam Monsef to honour a campaign promise. Congratulations and thank you. Monsef suggests there is no broad consensus for reform among the people. Well, there has been no broad offering of information, explanation, dialogue or advocacy for reform. Obviously, the people are not going to agree to something about which they do not know or understand. A role of the media outlets is to inform. And, to clarify, your informing role should be in the interest of your readers (as in voters). Will Kamloops This Week accept a challenge to fulfill your role to inform, perhaps even explain, give opportunity for dialogue and offer a means for advocacy? Ray Jones Kamloops
GOVERNMENT WITH COMPLAINTS ABOUT ICBC
Editor: A recent KTW online poll asked: Should the provincial government end its monopoly on basic auto insurance and allow private competition? The results were overwhelmingly in favour of something being changed, with most votes going to having ICBC compete
with private insurers. Could ICBC survive facing such competition? Not likely. Is the government taking this information under consideration? Not likely. Why would the government consider giving up its cash cow? Perhaps Todd Stone, the minister of high-
ways, and Premier Christy Clark should be inundated with e-mails to let them know how the people they are supposed to represent really feel about ICBC having a monopoly on basic insurance for the drivers of this province. George Leask Kamloops

New disclosure provided by the Crown to the lawyer representing a man accused of killing a female acquaintance in a Kamloops motel has delayed his arraignment. It’s the second time this month David Albert Miller’s arraignment has been adjourned. The 54-year-old is facing one count of firstdegree murder in connection to the death of Debra Novacluse, 52, in August.
Teen ‘gangster’ still free TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A 14-year-old “wannabe” gangster who has compiled more than a dozen convictions in the last 10 months has avoided jail after threatening to shoot his friend in the back and his friend’s mother in the face. The teen, who cannot be identified under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, pleaded guilty to four charges — including two counts of uttering threats — in Kamloops provincial court this week. Court heard he used Facebook Messenger to send a series of threats to a friend on Sunday. “He used sort of gangster language,” Crown prosecutor Will Burrows said. “It appears that is his sort of wannabe lifestyle.” Burrows read a number of the Facebook messages in court. “I honestly don’t care if the cops take months to find me,” one read. “I will kill you before they find me.” The teen was arrested within hours of sending the threatening messages and spent two nights in custody at the Kamloops RCMP’s Battle Street detachment downtown. The friend who received the threats told police he believed the teen was affiliated with a gang and said he had seen him in the past carrying a handgun.

“It’s time for him to see some custody,” Burrows said, asking for a sentence of more than a month in jail. Defence lawyer Michelle Stanford pushed for a sentence to be served in the community, saying the teen lashed out after his friend made a comment about his mother. “He would readily admit he has an anger management issue,” she said. “The comments about his mother triggered him and he lost it.” Court heard the teen’s youth record started with an assault conviction in February. Since then, he’s racked up 13 additional convictions. Kamloops provincial court Judge Len Marchand had harsh words for the teen, but stopped short of sending him to jail. “You’re 14. You’re talking like a gangster,” the judge said. “There’s nothing glamorous about gang life. It’s people who are in trouble.” Marchand placed the teen on a 75-day deferred custody and supervision order, which means he could be jailed if he breaches any of a number of strict conditions, including a 9 p.m. to 7 a.m. curfew and orders barring him from possessing weapons or having contact with either of the people he threatened to shoot. The sentence will be followed by an 18-month probation term.

Both Miller and Novacluse were visiting Kamloops from Abbotsford. At the time of Miller’s arrest, police called the alleged slaying “a targeted attack.” Miller’s arraignment is now expected to take place on Jan. 12. He remains in custody.

The Interior Health Authority will continue to provide chemotherapy drugs to local veterinarian clinics into 2017. Dr. Matt Nicol of Riverside Small Animal Hospital, which provides chemotherapy services to dogs, said the health authority has responded to concerns raised by veterinarians after it announced the pharmacy at Royal Inland Hospital would stop providing the drugs
in early January. The IHA sent Nicol a letter advising him it will be flexible in its timeline so animals receiving chemotherapy are not denied as a solution is sought. The hospital has been preparing the chemotherapy medications as a courtesy. The provincewide contract with the drug supplier includes a ban on resale of the medication to third-party clinics.

Blue services continue The Unitarian Universalist Fellowship is hosting a Shades of Blue Christmas service on Sunday at the Valleyview Community Hall, 2288 Park Dr. The service, which starts at 10 a.m., will be simple and reflective with readings, music and a time to light candles and, if participants wish, share their stories. The non-denominational service will also be making a donation to the Kamloops Immigrants Society. Its executive director, Paul Lagace, will be there to discuss after the service the work the agency does. Blue Christmas services are held to recognize loss, a reality that could come
from a death, a health condition, work issues, unemployment, relationship breakdowns or just basic stress. “Sometimes, people feel exasperated at this time of year, with all the emphasis on family, traditions, happiness,” said Bruce Comrie, minister at Kamloops United Church. “This is a way of recognizing that they’re not alone in that feeling. It’s a way of validating it, acknowledging it. “If your inner feeling is different than what you’re expected to portray to the world, it can be difficult.” The services include some relevant scripture and other readings.

comply with the contract, but also because the number of patients at the hospital’s cancer clinic has increased and it is necessary to prioritize patients over external clinics. The IHA notes in the letter it is aware local pharmacies might be interested in preparing the drugs for sale to vet clinics. Nicol suspects it will take several months to find a solution. “But RIH has our backs until we can sort things out,” he said.

STRANGER’S ACT HELPS STUDENTS AID CITY CHARITY DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
Random acts of kindness can show up anywhere. For Jennica Alpaugh’s Grade 6 class at Kamloops School of the Arts, it flowed from a conversation she was having at the Real Canadian Superstore. Someone overheard her talking about the project her students took on this year, using skills they learned in class to create art they sold to raise money to buy hampers for the Christmas Amalgamated charity. The class had already raised
enough money for four hampers and had plans to add three more to the donation. The stranger stepped up and offered to pay for the other three hampers. “We’ve been talking about ripples of kindness and this just showed it,” Alpaugh said. The fundraising project grew from a lesson on using greenscreen technology alongside the camera application on the classroom set of iPads. The technology is similar to that used in movies to create a background that can make an actor look like they are on Mars, for example. Anything green is replaced by
the uploaded pictures. From there, vice-principal Greg Hall dressed up as Santa and students at the school had their pictures taken with the Jolly Old Elf. The green-screen app worked its magic and the photos were emailed to parents of the kids. The class also made cards using the technology, which they have been selling. As of Wednesday, they had raised $330. Part of the money went to creating the hampers and, thanks to the kindness of a stranger, the class will be donating seven hampers and about $200 to the charity.

From under logs to prisoner’s box, trio now on trial TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
A trio of alleged thieves the Crown claims was found hiding under logs in the woods north of Kamloops in May are standing trial in B.C. Supreme Court this week. Mark Aaron Pauls, Andrew James Shreenan and William Randolph Hill were arrested on May 4 after allegedly
fleeing from police. They are facing a raft of charges, including multiple counts related to a stolen shotgun. Crown prosecutor Iain Currie said a Mountie in Little Fort spotted two vehicles speeding through the community. When he turned on his police lights, court heard, the vehicles — a Dodge Neon and a Volkswagen Golf
— sped away. Currie said the vehicles were found on a forest-service road a short time later. He said the accused tried to drive away, but became stuck in mud. They then fled on foot, Currie said. Two hours after that, the three accused were found by investigators. A subsequent search of the vehicles turned up ammunition and
a shotgun alleged to have been stolen from a Kelowna store. Little Fort is 93 kilometres north of Kamloops, between Barriere and Clearwater. Testifying in court, RCMP Const. Jeffrey Schnyder said he was the first officer to come across the trio, who he said were hiding in a small “alcove” beneath two fallen trees. “It was a very small
place,” he said, testifying in a small witness box. “Not much bigger than where I’m standing right now.” Hill is facing three charges, Pauls is facing 10 charges and Shreenan is facing seven charges. The three men have been in custody since their arrest. The trial is scheduled to wrap up at the end of the week.

A Shuswap man facing charges stemming from a deadly shootout near Celista will stand trial in B.C. Supreme Court. Richard Allen Williams is facing multiple charges including attempted murder with a firearm, discharging a firearm with the intent to wound, assault with a firearm, aggravated assault, break and enter and wearing a mask while committing an offence. The 60-year-old has been in custody since his arrest on Feb. 11, four days after a shooting incident that sent three men to hospital — two in critical condition. Police were tight-lipped following the shooting. Five days later, Mounties issued a press release saying one of the victims had died. Following the shooting, RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said the incident was not random and that the people involved were known to each other. Williams is not accused of firing a fatal shot. His preliminary inquiry had been scheduled to begin on Wednesday in Kamloops provincial court but defence lawyer Jeremy Jensen committed Williams to trial in B.C. Supreme Court before it began. Jensen also said in court Williams may apply for bail. Kamloops provincial court Judge Roy Dickey ordered a technical suitability report be completed on the rural property where Williams would live to determine whether the home could be outfitted for electronic monitoring. Williams will make his first appearance in B.C. Supreme Court on Monday.

Feds to ban asbestos by 2018 following decades of lobbying
Guess what we can get if we buy a new or used in-stock car @ (Answer on page B2!)
Congress, said following yesterday’s formal announcement. Under the Rotterdam Convention, 156 countries have listed asbestos as hazardous. The Liberal government suggested it will sign on at the 2017 spring meeting. “It’s very important that we join almost every other country in the world in showing that we recognize the health risk associated with asbestos, we recognize the need to take action together,’’ said Environment Minister Catherine McKenna. There doesn’t appear to be funding attached to the announcement, and federal officials hedged when asked whether Canadians might anticipate help in having asbestos removed from homes. Public Service and Procurement, meanwhile, said there are almost 400 Crownowned buildings and 70 per cent of them contain asbestos. The asbestos plan includes creating an inventory of provincial and territorial public buildings to add to the growing federal list. Workers, meanwhile, continue to lodge difficultto-verify claims under provincial worker compensation programs for catastrophic illnesses related to their jobs or work spaces.

Military aims to prevent ISIL’s ‘spillage’

OTTAWA — Michelle Cote says her father didn’t want to see anyone else have their life choked from them the way he did before succumbing to asbestos-related disease last July. Cote added a human face and emotional wallop yesterday to a long overdue federal government announcement that Canada will ban asbestoscontaining products by 2018. It marks the beginning of the end of the road for a storied Canadian product first mined in Quebec in the mid1870s — but has been known to have deadly health impacts since the 1970s. Clem Cote, a boiler maker from Sarnia, Ont., didn’t want to become the public face of mesothelioma after he was diagnosed with the terminal, asbestos-caused cancer in 2014. But when his daughter asked him if she could take up the cause, he readily agreed. “I talked to Dad and said, ‘Dad, are you OK?’ and he said ‘I don’t want anyone else to die like this. Go. Do what you’ve got to do,’’’ a teary Michelle said yesterday at a cancer centre at Ottawa’s General Hospital. “That’s why I have his hard
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Two Canadian military teams are in Lebanon and Jordan as the international community searches for ways to keep the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant from spreading once the city of Mosul falls. Senior commanders have warned victory in Iraq’s second-largest city will not mark the end of ISIL as a threat, but that it will instead go underground and resort to suicide attacks and similar tactics. There are also growing fears defeat in Iraq and Syria will see the group attempt to spread into the surrounding region, where it will try to cause new havoc and instability. British Defence Secretary Michael Fallon
hat, this is his hard hat, and I carry it everywhere I go.’’ Four Liberal cabinet ministers had just announced the comprehensive ban, which comes following years of lobbying by unions and public health advocates and long after other developed countries, including the entire European Union. “There is irrefutable evidence that has led us to take concrete action to ban asbestos,’’ said Science Minister Kirsty Duncan.“Today is the first step to ban asbestos — its manufacture, its export, its import — and we hope to do this, we will do this, by 2018.” There will also be new workplace health and safety rules, changes to the building code and an expanded inventory of public buildings with asbestos. This year, about 2,300 new cases of asbestos-related cancer were diagnosed across the country, continuing a trend the Canadian Cancer Society said it hopes has peaked, long after heavy asbestos use began to decline. About three quarters of those new cases are lung cancers and 25 per cent mesothelioma. “We were hoping to see it starting to decline this year,’’ said Gabriel Miller of the can-
said preventing that spread will be a focus for countries fighting against ISIL in coming months. “We need momentum across the Middle East to defeat Daesh wherever it now disperses to,’’ Fallon said at the start of an anti-ISIL meeting in London. “As they are pushed out of Iraq, they will disperse and move to different theatres and redefine their success not by territory, but by insurgency.” Speaking by phone after the meeting, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan said Canadian troops will remain in Iraq for the foreseeable future to ensure local forces can maintain peace and security. Military officials have previously said Iraqi and Kurdish forces will need to be retrained to deal
cer society. “It hasn’t happened yet, so hopefully we have peaked but that still means, for years to come, at or about the level we’re at now.” Mesothelioma, in particular, can take 20 or 30 years to appear, setting up a deadly generational sleeper cell. Canadian shipments of asbestos fibre peaked at almost 1.7 million tonnes in 1973 with a value of $234 million. But as recently as 2010, about 100,000 tonnes of chrysotile asbestos were still mined in Quebec. Quebec’s last two asbestos mines closed in 2011, which was also the last year Canada recorded any exports. Imports of asbestos-containing products — mostly friction materials such as brake pads and construction materials — were down to $5.9 million in 2014, according to Statistics Canada. However even in a fading market, Canada continued to balk at international efforts to label chrysotile asbestos as a hazardous material. “As long as we were mining this product and exporting it from Quebec and Canada, our federal government was reluctant to interfere in the economic activity of Quebec,’’ Hassan Yussuff, the president of the Canadian Labour
with the type of terror tactics ISIL is expected to adopt after Mosul. Two teams of military advisers are in Jordan and Lebanon, where they have been working
with local authorities to identify gaps and ways to prevent ISIL from spreading into their countries. To that end, the government committed
last week to provide the Lebanese military with mountain-climbing and winter gear, and $1 million toward the creation of a special border patrol regiment.

NATIONAL NEWS RECONCILIATION
Trudeau details Ottawa’s ‘two tracks’ toward resetting indigenous relationship KRISTY KIRKUP
THE CANADIAN PRESS
Ottawa must follow two separate tracks in its reconciliation efforts with indigenous people, says Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: taking broader, long-term steps to rebuild the
relationship, while also addressing urgent short-term needs. Trudeau was addressing the former track at a news conference yesterday when the latter one tragically intervened: a house fire on a southern Ontario First Nation believed to
have killed five members of the same family. “Obviously, our thoughts and hearts go out to families affected by this most recent incident,’’ said Trudeau, flanked by the indigenous leaders with whom he’d spent the morning meeting.
“We’ve taken significant measures, concretely, to build solutions and partnerships with indigenous communities, but we know that it is not just about immediate BandAids and immediate quick fixes.” The relationship
between the federal government and Aboriginal Peoples in Canada has to be “renewed and rebuilt,’’ Trudeau continued — a process that is not going to be complete any time soon. “The challenges we are facing will take not
just years, but decades in many cases to fully reverse, fully establish the right kind of relationship moving forward.” Trudeau’s remarks came well before officials on the Oneida Nation of the Thames, located 25 kilometres southwest of London, Ont., confirmed five people died in the blaze, which began Wednesday night. “First Nations housing is in a crisis,” said Oneida Chief Randall Phillips, who described the house as “just basically kindling.’’ “We will continue to point to the federal government and provincial government to make sure that they uphold their responsibility to make sure that we have safe homes here. But this is a perfect example of us not being able to refurbish or fix houses that are in need of repair.’’ Trudeau said the federal government set aside $8.4 billion in the March budget to address “urgent needs,’’ including lifting boilwater advisories across the country, “with more to come in the coming months and years.’’ But his main purpose yesterday was to acknowledge the one-year anniversary of the final report from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission by putting down a marker on the government’s effort
to reset its relationship with indigenous peoples. Cabinet ministers will meet at least twice a year with First Nation, Metis and Inuit leaders to tackle shared priorities, while the government sets up an interim board of directors as a precursor to a National Council for Reconciliation. The government is also providing $10 million to the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation at the University of Manitoba. The commission, led by Murray Sinclair, Manitoba’s first indigenous judge, issued 94 sweeping recommendations after spending six years examining the legacy of Canada’s residential school system. The commission arose from the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement, reached after survivors took the federal government and churches to court with the support of the Assembly of First Nations and Inuit organizations. Progress is underway on 41 of the 45 recommendations under federal or shared jurisdiction, Trudeau said yesterday. Hearings are expected to begin next spring in the inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women and girls — one of the recommendations enacted by the Liberal government.

BMO to compensate clients for $49.9M following excess fees TORONTO — The Bank of Montreal has agreed to compensate clients $49.9 million after collecting excess fees on certain mutual funds and investment products over eight years. The bank will also pay $2.1 million to the Ontario Securities Commission toward its mandate of protecting investors, while a further payment of $90,000 will cover costs of the investigation.

t was past midnight, in the wee hours of Thursday morning. Imperial’s local bakery, Georgie’s Place, had long been closed for the night and its hallmark grain elevator was cloaked in darkness, hiding along with the landmark water tower. But the sleepy Saskatchewan town of about 320 was wide awake, basking in the news. Connor Ingram will represent the grain-belt hamlet 155 kilometres southeast of Saskatoon at the World Junior Hockey Championship, which gets underway on Dec. 26 in Toronto and Montreal. “He could write a book about the valleys and peaks in his career. He was overlooked by so many teams,” said Connor’s mother, Joni, the excitement in her voice palpable, speaking to KTW on Wednesday night, shortly after Hockey Canada announced its roster for the upcoming tournament.
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
The nation might just find out what fans of the Kamloops Blazers already know. On Wednesday night, Connor Ingram was one of two goaltenders named to Canada’s roster for the World Junior Hockey Championship.
“He didn’t even make his bantam team. He could be encouraging for some other small-town chubby kids. We’ve got phones ringing off the hook. Might not be much sleep tonight.” Ingram has made a career out of defying odds. The Humboldt Broncos informed Ingram his second-year bantam AA season would not be played with them. “That’s happened to Connor quite a bit in his career,” said Brent, a proud father. “He just keeps working hard.” Shaun Priel, head coach of the Sask Valley Vipers, saw something in the Broncos’ castoff netminder, who was still rotund and sporting a healthy helping of baby fat at 14. “He fell into our lap,”
said Priel, a teacher from Saskatoon who happily used a portion his lunch break yesterday to rave about his former backstop. “It was a bit of a cheer among us coaches. We immediately got a hold of his dad and said, ‘Bring him out. What number does he want?” Three-hour round trips from Imperial and back to play for the Vipers — thanks, mom and dad — paid off in a spot with a midget AA team (Humboldt welcomed him back), but not in selection at the WHL Bantam Draft. The midget AAA Prince Albert Mintos eventually took notice and were rewarded when Ingram helped lead them to the 2014 national midget AAA championship, the Telus Cup. Ingram, who was not the clear-cut No. 1 netminder for the Mintos that season, was called on for the playoffs and made 60

saves in the final, a game that lasted 108 minutes and 36 seconds, the longest in tournament history. Prince Albert beat les Grenadiers de Châteauguay 4-3. That performance cemented his place on the Kamloops Blazers’ radar. The local major-junior squad had listed him in September of 2013. He showed up to Sandman Centre in August of 2014 with the leastathletic build of anyone at training camp, sitting third, at best, on the depth chart behind 20-year-old incumbent starter Bolton Pouliot and 17-year old Cole Kehler, who had been touted as the goalie of the future on Mark Recchi Way. “We have a little bakery and coffee shop [Georgie’s] in our town that’s run by a lady who used to be our home-economics teacher,” Brent said. “She has wonderful baking at that shop and the lemon tarts are a favourite. We have to be
careful when he comes home in the summer just to limit that supply.” Head coach Don Hay, goaltending coach Dan De Palma, director of player personnel Matt Recchi and then-general manager Craig Bonner weren’t judging the bulky book by its cover. He outplayed Kehler to become the No. 1 guy in Kamloops after Pouliot was shipped to Portland in October of 2014. He followed an up-and-down first half by posting stellar numbers from January onward — 15-10-1-1, with a 2.69 goals against average and .914 save percentage — to lock up the starting job. Last season, Ingram set a Blazers’ franchise record with a .922 save percentage and launched himself into the 2017 world junior conversation. His numbers so far this season — a WHL-leading save percentage of .935 and second-best goals against average of 1.85 — along with

timely excellent outings in front of Hockey Canada goaltending consultant Fred Brathwaite earned him an invite to Team Canada’s selection camp in Blainville, Que. Among the final cuts on Wednesday night was goaltender Michael McNiven of the Owen Sound Attack, leaving Carter Hart of the Everett Silvertips and Ingram as Canada’s goaltending tandem. “One of the things as a young hockey player you always dream of having is a chance to put on that Canada jersey,” Brent said. “He gave us a quick call to tell us how excited he was. We had to try to fit him in because his brothers were phoning at the same time.” Bryce, 30, Mark, 26, and Keeran, 21, are chuffed and likely happy to be able to finalize their Christmas plans, which now include flights out east.

Hart — who has the league’s best GAA (1.85) and secondbest save percentage (.928) — seemed to nail down one of the two available goaltending spots early on in Canada’s selection camp and is likely the frontrunner for the starting job. But he’ll have competition in a much-svelter Ingram, who seems fazed by nothing, rarely rattled and accustomed to a healthy goaltending duel. “He got passed over lots of times when he was young,” said Brent, who relayed his thanks to the Blazers and fans in Kamloops for their part in Connor’s growth. “When he walked though the concession stand or walked through the arena, you wouldn’t have picked him out as the goalie. He was that little round kid walking through the rink.” The once-husky netminder from Imperial has made believers out of Blazers’ fans with
physics-defying saves when they matter most, the same jawdropping stops that endeared him to an attentive bantam AA coach in Saskatoon. “I’m a big believer in you can’t be great at anything until you’re first a great person — and he’s a great person,” Priel said. “These are opportunities that only come for a select few. I’ll be there front and centre cheering him on. Guaranteed.” Team Canada head coach Dominique Ducharme, whose staff includes assistant coach Kris Knoblauch, also from Imperial, will have the final call — Hart or Ingram? Canada has pre-tournament games against Finland on Monday, the Czech Republic on
Wednesday and Switzerland on Dec. 23. Each of the games begin at 4 p.m. on TSN. The Canadians open pool play against Russia on Boxing Day. Game time is 4 p.m. “We had a little conversation with Connor and the family,” Brent said. “Even a year ago, we’d never have dreamed of any of this coming to fruition. Gee whiz, it sure worked out well for him. “Carter is a great goalie. Either one of those guys is going to give them a great chance to win and that’s what matters.”
Some recent history
JC Lipon is the last Blazer who played for Canada at the world juniors, accomplishing the feat in 2013. Devan Dubnyk was the last Blazers’ netminder to be invited to play for Team Canada at the world juniors. He was the backup goaltender on the 2006 team that won gold in Vancouver.
Sideroff, Blazers on fire in Alberta Hockey Canada must be having second thoughts. Kamloops Blazers’ forward Deven Sideroff scored his fourth overtime winner of the season, his second in as many games, to lift his squad to a 3-2 victory over the hometown Lethbridge Hurricanes on Wednesday. The 19-year-old Summerland speedster was not invited to Canada’s selection camp ahead of the World Junior Hockey Championship, which gets underway on Dec. 26 in Toronto and Montreal. Blazers’ No. 1 goaltender Connor Ingram found out Wednesday he will don the Maple Leaf at the world
juniors, meaning backup Dylan Ferguson will continue to hold down the fort for Kamloops through the Christmas break and into midJanuary. Ferguson has done an excellent job so far and added to his growing resume with a 25-save performance on Wednesday. Ferguson stopped 29 shots in a 4-3 overtime victory over Red Deer on Tuesday, made 33 saves in a 3-2 shootout loss to Calgary on Sunday and turned aside 36 pucks in a 3-2 triumph over Edmonton on Saturday. He is the reigning WHL goaltender of the week. Kamloops was
down 2-0 to Lethbridge heading into the third period on Wednesday, with Brett Davis and Egor Babenko having scored for the ‘Canes. Travis Walton put the Blazers on the board at 7:48 of the third frame and who else but Sideroff notched the gametying marker at 15:08. Rudolfs Balcers, who is tied with Sideroff for the team lead in points with 37, combined with Dawson Davidson to set up the OT winner. Balcers also had an assist in Sideroff’s overtime marker on Tuesday. The Blazers (20-121-1) will play the fifth game of their six-game tour of the Central
Division tonight in Medicine Hat against the Tigers. Balcers will leave the team after tonight’s game and head east to play for Latvia at the world juniors. Kamloops D-man Ondrej Vala is trying out for the Czech Republic and forward Matt Revel suffered an upper-body injury last Saturday. Both are out for the remainder of the road trip, which wraps up tomorrow in Cranbrook, where the Blazers will play the Ice. Kamloops is second in the B.C. Division, eight points back of the Prince George Cougars and two points ahead of the Kelowna Rockets.

Canada sets 22-man roster as World Junior play nears TERRY KOSHAN
THE CANADIAN PRESS
BOISBRIAND, Que. — Canada’s roster for the 2017 world junior championship is set. With the final five cuts made late on Wednesday night — and word that no players will be loaned from the National Hockey League — we know the 22-player roster. “Now, we prepare,” head coach Dominique Ducharme said. “We wanted to evaluate our guys individually and we did that, we started talking about our style of play and our philosophy and our mindset and the way we want to play. Now we’re going to just practise and be a stronger group.” Released were goalie Michael McNiven, defencemen Guillaume Brisebois and Samuel Girard and forwards Sam Steel and Zach Senyshyn. Those players were taken to an airport hotel with flights
home scheduled for yesterday. Hockey Canada got definitive answers from the New York Islanders on the availability of forward Anthony Beauvillier and from the Arizona Coyotes on forward Lawson Crouse and defenceman Jakob Chychrun. None are coming, but Hockey Canada is confident with the group moving forward. The Canadians were expected to head to MontTremblant yesterday for several days of team-building and practising before playing in exhibition games next week against Finland, the Czech Republic and Switzerland. Canada was relentless in an exhibition game against the Czechs earlier Wednesday, winning 8-0 at the Centre d’Excellence Sports Rousseau to finish the selection camp. The Canadians treated the puck like their lives depended on keeping it, or getting it back. The hard-driving effort came after a couple of exhibi-

tion games against a group of university players that didn’t have much business being in the same building. Mitchell Stephens and Taylor Raddysh scored two goals each, while Julien Gauthier, Dillon Dube, Anthony Cirelli and Mathew Barzal also scored. Connor Ingram, with six saves, and McNiven, with 11 saves, combined for the shutout. “It was simple, but at the same time we played together,” Ducharme said. “That’s what we want to do [is attack]. We see we’re getting better at it. We’re getting into that rhythm. “It was competitive. Guys want to be part of it. Everyone did a good job.” While several Canada goals were of the tic-tac-toe variety, the prettiest was the game’s opener, when Gauthier, one of five returning players from last year, burst past a Czech defender, controlled the loose puck and beat goalie Daniel Vladar with a backhand deke.

e Three Kings is a carol, written by American John Hopkins in 1857, about the gifts brought to the infant Jesus by the Magi, or wise men from the east. There has been considerable speculation over the centuries as to who these men were. By Western tradition, they are named Balthazar, Melchior and Caspar, but other traditions (e.g. Syrian or Armenian) give them different names. Western religious tradition doesn’t believe they were actual kings. The gifts of gold and incense they brought are traditional gifts presented to the kings of Israel (mentioned in verses in the Psalms and the book of Isaiah). The Gospel of Matthew records the visit of the Magi. When they arrive in Jerusalem, they go to pay their respect to King Herod, saying, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star in the east and have come to worship him.” They likely believed Herod was the father of this kingly infant. Matthew records that King Herod was “greatly disturbed and all Jerusalem with him.” There were many reasons for his discomfort. Herod was part Jew and part Gentile and quite ruthless in how he ruled. He had already killed three of his own sons, as well as his wife and mother-in-law (probably for suspected treachery to replace him on the throne). He was a de facto puppet of the Roman emperor, so any chance another Jewish ruler might arise would not only jeopardize his rule, but potentially bring the wrath of Rome on the whole nation. The other reason for his discomfort arises from the identity of the Magi. It is likely they were members of a priestly organization of astrologers, whose
CHRIS KEMPLING

FAITH
membership was centred in ancient Persia, as well as being active in Babylon. The Magi were the astronomers of their day, skilled in observing the moon, planets, comets and stars. They were also proficient dream interpreters. They used their skills to develop the annual calendar and were consulted by kings and rulers for the most auspicious dates for important state activities, such as going to war or naming a successor. The prophet Daniel, some centuries earlier, was likely a member of this priestly caste. King Herod was right to be concerned because he knew these astrologers were highly regarded and, if they had interpreted the signs in the heavens as signifying a new ruler, he would likely be displaced — unless he could dispatch the little one first. So, he asked the Magi to report back to him when they found the infant Jesus. But they were warned in a dream not to re-visit Herod and left for their home countries by another way. Herod was furious and ordered the slaughter of every baby boy in Bethlehem aged two years and younger. Mary and Joseph, also warned in a dream, escaped to Egypt before Herod’s bloodthirsty soldiers arrived. Tradition says Balthazar was a Babylonian scholar, Melchior a Persian and Caspar (or Gaspar) was from India. The magian religion, based on Zoroastrianism, believed signs in the heavens were associated
with the birth of a very important person. The “star of Bethlehem” has been suggested to be a triple conjunction of Jupiter (the king planet) with Regulus (the king star) and the planet Venus, which occurred in June, 2 B.C. Jupiter then continued in its orbit, pausing in a “retrograde loop” in December, 2 B.C. Another interpretation could be that the star of Bethlehem was entirely miraculous, consisting of a group of Seraphim (the fiery archangels who attend the presence of God). The gifts brought by the Magi also have important symbolism. Gold is an appropriate gift for a king. It has been speculated this gold was used to finance the holy family’s flight to Egypt and their stay there. The second gift, frankincense, was (and still is) used in holy ceremonies in the worship of God in Jewish traditions, as well as those of other religions. The gift of myrrh is rich with symbolism. It was used in the embalming process for Egyptian mummies and may have been the part of the “spice” mentioned in the preparation of Jesus’ body for burial. It is also mixed with oil and used for anointing believers when they are confirmed as a formal member of the church in both Eastern and Western Christian traditions. The gift of myrrh to Jesus is seen as a foretelling of his suffering and death on the cross. The three wise men from the east and their special gifts are important elements of the Christmas story. Their feast day, Epiphany, is celebrated annually on Jan. 6 by many branches of Christianity. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page. Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and can be emailed to editor@ kamloopsthisweek.com. Please include a very short bio and a photo.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory of
Carla Jayne Dornan
August 30, 1967 December 17, 2014
Bob Kennell
February 2, 1934 – December 12, 2016
Bob Kennell passed away on December 12, 2016 at the age of 82 years at Gemstone of an unknown cause. Bob was born on February 2, 1934 at Royal Inland Hospital to Bob and Delores Kennell. After graduating from Kam High he joined his father in the shoe business Kennell’s Shoes. Despite his disability from Polio in 1959 he never gave up his independence he worked hard at it.
Your beautiful smile, The sound of your laughter, The everlasting joy of having you in our lives, never to be forgotten.
Bob is survived by his loving family wife Rita of sixty-one years. Predeceased by daughter Beverley Mulford on October 7, 2016. Survived by son-in-law Allen, son Stephen (Dawn), grandchildren Sarah and Katrina Mulford, Jessica and Cory Kennell. Bob’s true love was his family, the dinners and get-togethers, his other love was driving the backroads of Kamloops and areas. Bob and Rita vacationed many winters in Maui and Palm Springs enjoying each others company.
We miss you and love you so very much.
Many thanks to the staff at Gemstone for their many hugs and care these past two weeks, also thanks to my dear sister Lorraine and her husband Marvin Tansley for their support and love.
Mom, Dad, Steve, Sheilagh, Hayleigh and Ciaran
A family remembrance will be held at a later date.
Wayne Roger Henuset 1941 - 2016
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Wayne Henuset of Kamloops, BC on November 17, 2016 at 75 years of age, after a short battle with cancer. Born in Vancouver, BC on February 2, 1941, Wayne leaves behind his loving wife of 52 years, Sandra E. Henuset; daughter Catherine (Travis) Parnall; son Mike (Kelli) Henuset; grandchildren Tyler & Chelsea Parnall, Ryan & Brianna Henuset; great-granddaughter Lillian Barron; brother David (Linda) Henuset and sister Denise (Ron) Watts; as well as many nephews, nieces and good friends. Wayne was predeceased by his father Leo Henuset and mother Gertrude Henuset, both of Vancouver, BC. Wayne was a long time employee of Fountain Tire and spent most of his life in the tire industry. He retired at the age of 71. Wayne was also a volunteer fireman for several years, and was an avid fisherman and camper. Wayne was a family man who cherished his time with his loved ones; he never missed an opportunity to have fun with his grandchildren. He will be missed by his family and friends. Private family arrangements have been made. Donations to the BC Cancer Society would be appreciated. Arrangements entrusted to Drake Cremation and Funeral Services. Condolences may be sent to the family at DrakeCremation.com

Gordon Robert Dale July 16, 1940 - December 6, 2016 Gordon Robert Dale passed away in hospice care on December 6, 2016 at the age of 76 years. Remembered and missed by his Partner Fay Newhouse of Penticton, his daughter Wendy Dale- Brennan (Chuck Brennan) of Calgary and son Kenny Dale (Lark Frolek-Dale) of Sun Peaks, BC.
Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director
Every Friday in KTW!
Q. Cremate Murray or bury his body? A. Most people in BC choose cremation (nearly 90 per cent!). In 1967, almost every BODY was buried. A lot of people back then bought cemetery plots they are now trying to sell, often for a big loss. So, be careful when someone tries to talk you into pre-paying funerals.

Gord was predeceased by parents Bob and Lillian Dale of Salmon Arm and his grandson Mathew Dale of Nanaimo in 2012. He has one great-grandson Landon Dale of White Rock. He has one brother Ron Dale of Ladysmith, BC and two nieces Kerry Fezza of Las Vegas and Erin Dale of Victoria and one nephew Doug Dale of Nanaimo. Born in Calgary to active and athletic parents Gord and Ron learned to skate at the community rinks. Dad coached their fastball team and he taught them to play golf and the values of commitment to team and friends. Gord was a fierce competitor which led to many a scuffle. He loved playing football with the Calgary Bronks and Stampeders practice squad. His parents held many house parties and taught the boys to dance and be generous and considerate helpers. Gord left school to become a lineman with the City of Calgary then moved to Kamloops with the family which led him to doing contract work away from home. He did build Ken a “half pipe” which inspired Ken to become a dare devil athlete, skateboarding and downhill speed skiing. Later in life he became a US Golf Teaching Professional which took him into the golf business. Gord started Canada’s Best Golf Academy in the North Okanagan where many folks received wonderful tips to improve their golf game. Shortly after moving to the South Okanagan in 2012 he met Fay Newhouse who was to become his partner, and his “angel of care”. They were regulars at various cribbage and social events. Gord and Fay became patrons at Elks, Eagles and the Legion. They enjoyed many rich hours of social activity, competition with old and new friends. Gord will be remembered for his steadfast opinions on many topics, his gregarious and friendly nature and his great sense of humour. He always had a quick quip for an occasion. Near his end, when asked how he was feeling, he remarked with a wry smile, “Better than yesterday - but not as good as tomorrow”. A Celebration of Life will be held at a later date once the golf course opens.
Joseph Ernest (Ernie) Roland Girard After a brief battle with cancer, Joseph Ernest (Ernie) Roland Girard passed away quietly on December 13, 2016. He was predeceased by daughter Marylynn and son Marvin. He is survived by his wife of over 60 years Laura, son Roland (Lori), daughters Delinda (Roy) Marriott, Maryann Girard, Debby (Robin) Foster, he also leaves behind four grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. There will be no service at this time, but a Celebration of Life will be held later this year when travel isn’t a problem. We would like to thank Dr. Farren, the nurses and volunteers at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home for all the great care they gave our husband and father.

He grew up in Kamloops and graduated from NORKAM in 1975. He travelled the province in his 25 year career with the Department of Highways as a surveyor. Brian’s main goal in life was to make people laugh, which he did every day. His unique humour and loveable personality charmed every person he met. As well as humour, he had an incredible passion for music. He loved to play it, sing it and especially share it. He was obsessed with tennis in his younger years. He was a competitive player. Brian was a generous man who loved helping his family. Although he never had children of his own, he had an extremely strong bond with his nieces and nephews. He truly deserved the title “ Best Uncle In The World”. Brian was a remarkable man who will be missed more than any words can express. A Celebration of Brian’s life will be held at a later date.

enny O’Brien has never battled before, but she knows what it takes to win. Practise is part of it, as is planning ahead, but a flair for the dramatic will be just as key when eight local artists square off at Padlock Studios this weekend for an all-star painting showdown. “You can be the best showman painter there is and use big gestures and people will vote for it because you’re a performer,” said O’Brien, who has co-produced previous battles in the city with husband Mike. Art battling has been in Canada for just shy of a decade, but only

launched in Kamloops last May. The format is simple, but intense: Six artists across a range of styles and techniques are given 20 minutes to create an acrylic painting in front of a live audience. At the end of the round, the public votes on their favourites. Then, the whole process repeats before the top two artists from each round return for one last 20 minute paint-off. Battle winners will compete again next June for a place in the regional finals in Vancouver. This weekend, the O’Briens are shaking up the competition in a major way. For the first round
of competition, eight artists will have two days to complete a 36-by-36 painting. Once the clock runs out, they’ll return to Padlock on Saturday night for two traditional speed rounds, allowing organizers to combine a gallery show with the traditional battle format. “This is the first time they’ve had a chance to showcase who they are and what they do in a long form, what they would do in their studio at home,” Mike said. As in a sports competition, practise makes perfect. Artist Bailey Koopmans said she spends her pre-battle preparation on sketching, getting the layout of her planned pieces

set in her head. Artists aren’t bound to a theme, so pieces can vary wildly both in subject and style. This weekend’s battle will feature painters whose works range from surrealist to fantasy-inspired to realist. “We want artists to really paint what’s in their hearts and showcase their strongest side,” Mike said. “It’s half performance, so you’ve got to be really comfortable with what you’re doing.” The event itself marries art appreciation with the drama of competition. “You get people who are there for the show of it — they like the reality show idea of it, they get to watch in real
time. They might not be art connoisseurs, but they appreciate the event for its competitiveness,” Jenny said. “Then you get people who are very much embedded in the art community who come out to see what everybody’s bringing.” Viewers have three chances to check out the artwork. Public viewings begin today from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Padlock Studios, 175 Second Ave., and continue tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., as painters work on their large canvasses. The battle continues tomorrow evening from 7 p.m. to 11 p.m. Tickets are $20, or $10 for students.

Anita Eccleston has More Trumpet releasing to the public on the weekend. The Kamloops-born, Vancouver-based musician is releasing her latest CD on Sunday at The Kino, 3456 Camie St. in Vancouver at 8 p.m. It’s a traditional vocal jazz album with her band — Andrew Smith on guitar, Graham Clark on bass and Doug Gorkoff on cello — featuring seven tracks. Smith handles vocals on one, I’m Just A Lucky So and So, with Eccleston singing the other songs, which include Fly Me To The Moon, Angel Eyes, Time After Time, All of Me, These Foolish Things and What A Wonderful World (along with Smith). Eccleston released her first recording, a jazz EP, in 2011. She released Trio in 2013, another extended-play recording, and her first full-length album, So It Goes, in 2014. She credits some of the icons of jazz as her major influences — Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Amy Winehouse, Chet Baker and Diana Krall. And, while she’s

he Star Wars franchise is more than great movies and merchandise — it’s also a fantastic range of comic books with graphic novels. Comic books of Star Wars have had a varied history of publishers, but the main ones were Marvel Comics and Dark Horse Comics. Marvel was the original publisher to start creating Star Wars comics back in 1977. The first six issues were an illustrated adaptation of the film, the first issue went for sale a month before the theatrical release of the Star Wars movie in the United States. After this point, the series featured original stories from the creative teams on the book with movie adaptations as the films were released. Marvel produced the main Star Wars series until 1986 but continued for another year with a pair of side series, Droids and Ewoks, before stopping all together in 1987. At that point, a regular ongoing series was non-existent until Dark Horse comics picked up the Star Wars licence in 1991. In my opinion, after the release of Return of the Jedi, the Star Wars franchise was kept alive long enough for the prequel movies from novels and the action-packed comics published by Dark

Horse Comics. Dark Horse had a great way of approaching its Star Wars story writing by creating five-issue mini series that would tell a quick story that was both self-contained and also contributed to a larger overall saga. It gave readers regular jump-into-the-story access. Dark Horse also looked at the Star Wars timeline as a whole and created stories hundreds and sometimes thousands of years before and after the original movie trio. The comics Dark Horse wrote are still fan favourites and personally among my own. The titles Dark Empire, Knights of the Old Republic, Crimson Empire and Star Wars Legacy are great examples of taking an existing license and successfully running outside of the box. Dark Horse published Star Wars comics until 2014 when it returned to
Marvel Comics. Disney announced it was buying Lucasfilm in 2012 and, for many Star Wars comic fans, that was writing on the wall for their beloved series from Dark Horse Comics. With Disney purchasing Marvel Comics in 2009, it didn’t make sense for someone else to do what it was well equipped for. Disney announced in 2014 the Star Wars comics licence would return to Marvel in 2015 and any previous stories produced were non-canon, basically unofficial stories. It did, however, create Star Wars Legends, a series of graphic novels that would continue to print those Dark Horse classics. That brings us to the present. Marvel is now publishing several ongoing series including a main Star Wars title — which is amazing. It’s initial launch was written by Jason Aaron and illustrated by John Cassaday, both of which are superstars
most recently as assistant curator at the Vancouver Art Gallery. She is replacing Charo Neville, who will be taking a leave in coming weeks. Among her work will be overseeing 2017 exhibitions and programs and working on a summer exhibition, as well as one that will open in January 2018.
in the comics industry. This new series takes place between Star Wars Episode 4 and The Empire Strikes Back movies. It features a cast of characters we all know and love: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO, R2-D2 and more, oh my. It has fast-paced action, with the characters behaving just as they would in the movies. The rebels are pressing their advantage against the Empire after blowing up the Death Star, but plans are thwarted and the heroes have to improvise. The story progression from the first collected volume graphic novel puts most current comic book titles to shame. The characters are rendered so well we couldn’t get a better story bridge unless we somehow got the actors back with a time machine to make another movie. So much excitement happens within the first few pages, you don’t want to miss this series. Check out Star Wars Volume 1 Skywalker Strikes. Randy Wagner is assistant manager of High Octane Comics. For more, visit 250 Third Ave. or call 250-377-8444.
KAG executive director Margaret Chrumka said “Adrienne impressed us with her commitment to artists in B.C. and her experience working with collections and artists at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Her particular interest in printmaking and South Asian art provide us with a unique opportunity to share this expertise with our community.”

Bullarama in Barriere a family NYE event A spokesperson for the fifth annual New Year’s Eve Bullarama and Dance at the North Thompson Agriplex in Barriere says this year’s event is taking it up a notch for families. Kids 10 and under have always been admitted free to the Bullarama section of the evening and that will remain for 2016. However, there will be much more for kids to enjoy, including a number of games and competitions they can participate in at no cost, with an opportunity to win prizes and help celebrate Canada’s 150th birthday. A mechanical bull, great food and entertainment will also be featured. The New Year’s Eve Dance (19 years and older) will start at 9:30 p.m. in the heated Agriplex banquet hall
and when the Bullarama portion of the evening ends between 10 p.m. and 10:30 p.m., those with dance tickets will remain at the Agriplex. Dancers then move into the Agriplex arena if they so wish or move back and forth between the two venues. The event is a fundraiser for the Farm Kids Scholarship Fund, with a portion of profits donated to the Scholarship Fund. The balance will go back into improving the Agriplex facility, which is a work in progress, and a major economic driver for the community and region. Tickets are available online at: eventbrite.ca, at the Horse Barn in Kamloops, Barriere Country Feeds and the Star/Journal and Clearwater Times offices.

Memorable gifts recalled by KTW newsroom staff Dale Bass: Best gift: Ice skates when I was seven years old. I didn’t get them at Christmas; instead, I got a letter from Santa explaining he had run out of my size but I could count on them showing up in January after my dad got paid. And they showed up just after the middle of the month. Jessica Klymchuk: My family dog — a Jack Russell Terrier named Jake — was gifted to my younger brother and I by our parents many Christmases ago. They planned it so perfectly, too. I was convinced the new leash must be for the cat but, then dad walked in with the cutest puppy I had ever seen. The excitement was captured on film, my favourite home video to re-watch.
As for the “best gift I ever received, it was a pair of bush-league Flash tracks, rollerblades made by Fisher Price.

— MARTY HASTINGS, KTW sports editor
been on my couch ever since. Marty Hastings: If I don’t like a gift, I immediately announce I’ll be returning it — “This is going back.” It’s become tradition. There’s nothing worse than someone pretending they like a garbage present. As for the best gift I ever received, it was a pair of bush-league Flash Tracks, rollerblades made by Fisher Price. I used to go top speed on those puppies in the cul-de-sac in Port Coquitlam. My neighbour, Zack, never had a chance between the pipes — a homemade wooden soccer/rugby/hockey net constructed by my dad.
Dave Eagles: Best: 1. Rocket pocket radio — the absolute best, with a mono earpiece. 2. Rayleigh banana seat-style bicycle, in metallic teal-blue. 3.

scaping from the traditional Canadian Christmas with family, my wife Ally and I stepped off the plane into the hot tropical climate of Rarotonga in the Cook Islands. We were deep in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a classic circular atoll dominated by a verdant mountain in the middle and surrounded by a glorious coral reef. We breathed in the fresh air and gasped at the colour and greenery all around. Insects buzzed and birds chirped and cawed. We had landed in paradise and thoughts of our families quickly vanished. From our ocean-side villa, we enjoyed long walks along the palmtree-lined beach and spent many hours floating in the warm waters inside the reef, amazed at the colours, shapes and variety of fish. It was like swimming in a top-end aquarium. We quickly found the island lifestyle was laid back, friendly and relaxed. We explored the circular road around the island on a scooter, discovering paw paw and banana plantations, a local brewery, churches and a waterfall. Christmas day began like most other days: hot, humid and sunny. Instead of snorkel-
A choir sings at the front of the Arorangi Cook Island Christian Church in Rarotonga. HANS TAMMEMAGI PHOTO
IF YOU GO The 15 Cook Islands in the southern hemisphere form an independent nation with a British-style parliamentary government. Rarotonga is the main island and has an international airport. The country is closely associated with New Zealand, including using New Zealand currency ($1 NZ = $0.87 CDN). The population is about 11,000.
ing, Ally and I donned our best tropical clothes, hopped onto the scooter and rode along a road lined by brilliant orange flamboyant trees to a simple, white-washed church to attend Christmas service. Joining throngs of Polynesians in colourful shirts and dresses with many of the ladies wearing straw bonnets, we walked through a cemetery, where large,
above-ground, concrete tombs lay like white-washed bunkers between the road and church. At the entrance to Arorangi Cook Island Christian Church, broad smiles and handshakes welcomed us and we were led to a bench in the packed hall. The church’s interior was simple and unpretentious, with white concrete-block walls,
blue trim and a high ceiling. Sunlight poured in through tall windows, reminding us we were far removed from a cold Canadian Christmas. The pastor welcomed the congregation and gave a short oration in the local Polynesian language, Cook Island Maori. Suddenly, several families sitting next to us stood up and burst into a boisterous song. From grandparents to young children, all were dressed in distinctive orange and black clothing. They bounced and swayed, their voices reverberating from the walls. The refrain consisted of about eight lines
of Polynesian repeated over and over again with incredible vigour. They sang and sang and sang. Finally, the singers’ energy flagged and another troupe, dressed primarily in turquoise and seated in another part of the church, jumped up and began to sing even louder and more vigorously. They did their utmost to outdo the first group. When they tired, another group took over, striving to be the loudest yet. Then a fourth group sang. Allyson and I bopped along, totally captivated by these energetic performances. Suddenly, this aston-
ishing Yuletide musical mayhem stopped. There was dead silence and every head turned toward us as the pastor said, “Now it is time for the tourists to sing.” I was shocked and embarrassed, since I am not musically inclined and cannot carry a tune. About 10 of us — the others visitors from New Zealand, who were as surprised and selfconscious as we were — nervously gathered together. After a panicky discussion, we started to croak out Silent Night. Compared to the earlier singing, our effort was feeble and uninspired. After a few bars, however, the entire congregation joined in
and soon the carol pulsated throughout the church. We were elated. Instead of being outsiders, we felt part of the service. Then each of the groups, who had sung so vigorously as part of the congregation, took turns going to the front and performing like a choir. The other worshippers enthusiastically joined in on the choruses and the entire church was a mass of swaying, singing people. We tourists even stumbled along. Later, we learned these groups actually are choirs representing different parishes. Polynesians love music and almost everyone belongs to a choir, with much friendly rivalry between them. Two and a half hours of this musical enthusiasm passed quickly and the service ended with a prayer. We walked silently past the white tombs back to our scooter, our hearts swelling with Christmas spirit. Far in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, we had discovered a passionate, musicloving congregation that warmly embraced strangers into their midst. It was a Christmas service we will cherish forever.

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:
Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fill each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can figure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle!
