KINDER MORGAN
Controversial Trans Mountain expansion wins B.C.’s approval CAM FORTEMS ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTERS
The province gave its anticipated environmental approval of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain project Wednesday, a pipeline will provide jobs as well as longterm benefits, its proponents said. The approval comes with an additional 37 conditions that must be met by the American corporation planning to twin its existing line between Edmonton and Burnaby. The line travels directly through Kamloops. Its twinning will reroute through a section of Lac Du Bois park. One of the 37 additional conditions will involve preparation of “offset plans” for parks and protected areas. City hotelier Steve Earl, past president of Kamloops & District Chamber of Commerce, said it promises to fill 500 hotel rooms for five to six months when construction comes to this part of the Southern Interior. “It’s good for the economy in Kamloops. . . . It’s good for the industry, restaurants, bars and the Blazers.

a long-lasting impact to the community,” he said. The city has signed a deal with Kinder Morgan for $700,000 for community development projects if the pipeline is built, and is also in line to get more than $1 million in additional tax revenue. “Any time you have money that wasn’t previously around it gives you a little more flexibility,” Milobar said.
Police and the B.C. Coroners’ Service are investigating the death of a Kamloops teenager but say early indications have raised no suspicions. Larry Marzinzik, coroner for the Interior region, could not predict when the investigation into the death of Ashtyn Middleton would be completed. The 18-year-old was ASHTYN MIDDLETON: found unresponsive on Pronounced dead after Jan. 7 in a house on the being found unresponsive North Shore. Emergency workers were called and administered first aid but the teen was declared dead at the scene. Friends of the Twin Rivers Education Centre (TREC) student said he had been at a party where there was alcohol and drugs. Marzinzik said toxicology results are not yet available. Middleton was also known by the first name Angel. Born female, he self-identified as male. He attended Aberdeen elementary and Westsyde secondary before starting studies at TREC last month.

The B.C. government yesterday announced its approval of the expansion of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline, which flows through Kamloops.
“That’s a lot of people who will be working in town.” Premier Christy Clark told reporters yesterday British Columbia’s five conditions for approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline have been met. Clark said one of the final conditions that was met will see Kinder Morgan Canada provide $1 billion to the province over the next 20 years to fund environmental protection projects.
The federal government gave its approval for Kinder Morgan’s $6.8-billion expansion of the pipeline late last year after the National Energy Board recommended it go ahead if 157 conditions are met. Mayor and BC Liberal nominee in Kamloops-North Thompson Peter Milobar said he’s pleased to see the project take another step forward. “Certainly it’ll have a big short-term impact as well as

DAVE EAGLES/KTW
Westsyde pool construction delayed ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
The city of Kamloops is no longer certain when it will re-open the Westsyde pool. Construction at the pool has been mostly on hold since early December, after the city discovered its contractor had installed steel roof decking that didn’t meet its specifications — an issue it caught only after workers had completed several more weeks of work atop the incorrect decking. Capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said the city’s contract with general contract D&T Developments Ltd. required the decking to be treated with a special coating to make the material more resistant to high-moisture environments. The process is done at the factory where the decking is produced. Crundwell said no one noticed the incorrect material had been used until more work had been completed, including the installation of insulation and some of the roofing membrane. “I wouldn’t call it a minor oversight, but it just wasn’t brought to the contractor’s attention,” he said. “Whether they missed it in a quote from their steel supplier, it wasn’t brought to their attention and they unknowingly put it up.” Crundwell said the city did not announce the error sooner as it was trying to come to a solution with D&T. That included investigating proposals from the
contractor for an on-site fix to the problem. Crundwell said after speaking with technical advisors the city doesn’t feel treating the existing decking will provide the level of durability it required in its contract. “We want that product and we want it from the factory,” he said. “We don’t see any other option but for the decking to be replaced.” Crundwell said it is not clear when work on the pool will resume. The pool was originally slated to open in mid-February. D&T had about two months of work left to complete when construction paused. Replacement material has not yet been ordered, and the contractor is still assessing how much of the work it had already completed will need to be taken down to install the decking without compromising the pool’s structural integrity. “It’s a bit complicated because the decking provides some structural stability for the building,” he said. “The walls and everything are up now so it does make it tougher to deal with.” Because the error is not the city’s responsibility, the additional work will be completed at no cost. The $3-million project began last October but the pool was closed in June, 2015, after moisture in the roof caused some of the wooden ceiling tiles to fall out. An inspection then found years of warm moist air had leaked from the pool into the roof making the building unsafe to use.
The holidays are over but, for Cheer Fund recipients, the generosity of the community will be a reminder of the Christmas spirit for many months to come. The campaign has come to a close and Kamloops This Week would like to extend many thanks to everyone who supported the fund this year. “The heroes of this campaign are the people of our community,” said publisher Kelly Hall. “We have a community that cares for those in need.” From the kids forgoing birthday presents and the many people donating in honour of loved ones, to the community groups and clubs who fundraised and the businesses that supported Cheer this year, there has been no shortage of generosity. Since November, the space dedicated to recognizing donors to the Christmas Cheer Fund grew steadily as donations totalling $53,573.90 came in from across the community. Funds raised will benefit Sensational Soups, Kamloops Sexual Assault Counselling Centre, New Life Community Kamloops, Family Tree Family Centre and Y Women’s Emergency Shelter. For the recipients, it is especially meaningful
to see the many names of Kamloopsians who gave back this holiday season. “I used to lay awake at night trying to think of where we were going to get money from to keep the program running,” said Delores Owen from Sensational Soups. “From the bottom of my heart, we are so grateful and so thankful. The gratitude is immeasurable. It’s an unbelievable gift that we’ve been given that we can share with the community and those who need it.” Cheer fund dollars will help Sensational Soups continue to serve meals twice a week through 2017, not unlike the work of New Life Community Kamloops, which will use the Cheer Fund to continue providing hot lunches and a warm, safe dayroom for anyone in need, said executive director Stan Dueck. Susan Wright, executive director of Family Tree Family Centre, said money from the Cheer Fund has an especially significant meaning, given many of the families it helps often struggle with several issues and often feel disconnected from the larger community. “Being one of the recipients of the Christmas Cheer Fund means more than just receiving money,” Wright said.

Abandoned prosecutions increase amid overdose crisis The number of people in Kamloops who died while being prosecuted doubled last year over numbers from 2015 TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C.’s overdose crisis appears to be making an impact in the province’s courthouses — including Kamloops — with numbers of prosecutions abandoned due to the death of an accused spiking. The criminal justice system calls it abatement — to end legal proceedings against a person once they have died. Abatement numbers have soared across B.C. the last two years, with figures in
Kamloops doubling in 2016. According to numbers provided to KTW by the provincial government, 538 files were abated in B.C. in 2016 — an increase of 45 per cent. Between 2012 and 2014, abatements hovered just below the 300-mark in B.C. In 2015, the number rose 23 per cent to 370. A similar trend is evident in the Kamloops figures, which remained below 10 annually between 2012 and 2014. In 2015, 11 files were abated in Kamloops. Last year, that
number shot up to 22. The provincial abatement numbers seem to mirror overdose statistics. B.C. recorded 248 overdose deaths in 2012, 293 in 2013 and 342 in 2014. In 2015, the number rose to 443. Figures for 2016 are still being finalized, but the BC Coroners Service had counted 755 overdose deaths by the end of November. In Kamloops, overdose deaths hovered between five and eight annually between 2012 and 2015 before spiking to at least 32 in 2016.

B.C. SUPREME COURT
Crown wants jail for men who knocked out Mountie in 2014 TIM PETRUK
STAFF REPORTER
tim@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Crown wants jail for two men who beat a Kamloops police officer into unconsciousness during a traffic stop more than two years ago. Jerry Lee Lamar and Leon Francis Leclerc have pleaded guilty to charges of assaulting a peace officer. The men knocked out RCMP Const. Paul Koester after being stopped at a oneman police roadblock near Pritchard on July 5, 2014. Lamar, 51, was driving a truck towing a boat on a trailer when Koester stopped him. In B.C. Supreme Court on Tuesday, Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo asked for jail terms of 18 months for Leclerc and nine to 12 months for Lamar. According to dash-cam footage played in court, Lamar became hostile when Koester said he was launching an impaired-driving investigation. Lamar eventually ran away from Koester, who then deployed pepper spray. The men became involved in a fight on the ground. Leclerc, 47, was a passenger in Lamar’s vehicle. He could be seen early in the 13-minute video, before

the altercation took place, lurking in the background. He was warned by Koester on camera to stay where he was. While Lamar and Koester fought on the ground, Lamar could be heard on the video shouting, “Leon, gun.” Leclerc then approached the melee. “Mr. Leclerc believed, and the Crown does not dispute, Const. Koester was attempting to retrieve his firearm,” Caputo said. “In an attempt to stop him from doing that, he stomped on his shoulder one or more times.” Leclerc also kicked Koester in the head. Court was told it was “inadvertent.” Koester appeared to lose consciousness immediately and could be heard on the video snoring loudly before coming to about 20 seconds later, after Lamar and Leclerc had fled the scene. Koester then began moaning and calling for help. A passerby stopped and tended to the injured Mountie. Koester appeared on the

charges were laid. Neither Lamar nor Leclerc have criminal records. Court heard Lamar, who lives in Pritchard, owns and operates a Kamloops masonry company. Leclerc owns two businesses and lives in a rural area near Falkland. Both men apologized in court. “I’m deeply sorry for what happened,” Lamar said. “I can assure you it will never happen again.” Leclerc said the incident led to two-and-a-half years of “soul searching.” “I’m very deeply sorry for what I did to Const. Koester and how it affected his family,” he said. “Up to the day of this event, I conducted myself in perfect standing as a citizen and a person. “I can only attribute my association in the event to sheer panic and fear. You will never see me in another courtroom, nor will you see me on the wrong side of the law.” Lawyers for both men have recommended sentences of house arrest. B.C. Supreme Court Justice Dev Dley reserved his decision. Sentencing has been scheduled for Jan. 27. Lamar and Leclerc remain free on bail.

While parts of the province are seeing lowerthan-normal snowpacks, the Thompson region is closer to the seasonal average. Information released by the provincial river forecast centre shows the South Thompson River watershed at 100 per cent of the average for this time of year while the North Thompson watershed is at 87 per cent. As of Jan. 1, provincewide snow levels are at 82 per cent of normal. About half the province’s annual snowfall comes in the period before early January. The provincial agency said factors driving the low snowpacks in some regions include a warm November, during which the snowpack melted, and a cold, dry December. Seasonal forecasts from Environment Canada call for increased likelihood of below-normal temperatures for the remainder of winter.
video to be concerned about his eye. “Can you see my eye?” he asked the person helping him. “Is it out or in?” Lamar left his driver’s licence on the hood of Koester’s police vehicle. Both men were eventually arrested. “Police officers obviously have the right to conduct their jobs peacefully and without the fear of assault,” Caputo said, calling Koester “vulnerable” at the time of the incident. “The public must be aware that a significant sentence will follow when there is a serious assault of a police officer.” Koester, a Kamloopsbased highway patrol officer, was concussed but made a full recovery. Court heard he returned to work about a month later. Koester made headlines in 2005 when he shot and killed 22-year-old Ian Bush during an altercation at the RCMP detachment in Houston, a small town near Smithers. He was cleared in the subsequent investigation and no

A B.C. Supreme Court judge has rejected a proposed oneyear jail sentence for a 61-yearold who had sex with a 15-yearold girl who lived next door. The decision came after Crown and defence made a joint submission for the one-year sentence. The victim’s name is protected by a court-ordered ban. Justice Dev Dley allowed the accused man to withdraw his guilty plea. Crown and defence will decide next steps following a decision by the Supreme Court
of Canada last year regarding joint submissions. That decision requires judges to accept joint submissions. If not, accused persons are allowed to withdraw their plea. Options going forward include going to trial or making another joint submission. Dley told the lawyers the proposed one-year sentence is too light after a review of the facts and case law. The accused man babysat three younger children from next door while the 14-year-old came along to “hang around,” said Crown lawyer Catriona Elliott. They pair began having sex when she was 15. The
girl’s mother discovered texts between the two when she was 17. At the outset of the hearing defence lawyer Micah Rankin told Dley “it’s not a case where the Crown is alleging breach of trust or grooming” but Dley said the facts speak otherwise. “My concern was as a result of the view of the facts, which indicated a period of grooming followed by a period of intercourse between the two parties.” Dley said the 61-year-old “was a neighbour. It’s apparent he was a trusted friend of the family.” A date has been set later this month to schedule a next appearance.

Understanding Mortgage Closing Costs Many homebuyers are startled to learn that after they arrange their mortgage they have to pay a range of additional fees to finalize the transaction. These are some of the most common costs: Property transfer tax – Not applicable to first time home buyers or buyers of mobile homes on leased land. This tax is 1% of the first $200,000 and 2% of any amount over and above. Lawyer’s Fees – These vary depending on the service required, on whether you use a lawyer or a notary and on the agency. A rough quote could range between $950 and $1400 in Kamloops for a basic home purchase. Mortgage Appraisal Fees – Lenders often require an appraisal to establish the current market value of a property. The appraiser values the home based on recent comparable sales, and estimates the selling price if it had to sell in less than 90 days. Appraisal costs start around $300 and up. Title insurance – These items serve to protect the lender from improvements (think fences, shed or house) built accidentally on a neighbouring property, title fraud and other issues related to the property. Average costs $250 for a single detached home. Fire Insurance – Fire insurance is required by most lenders as a condition for funding a mortgage. Speak to a local insurance agency for rates, contents coverage options and more. Home Inspection – This is peace of mind protection for the buyer. It involves an objective visual examination of the physical structure and systems of a house, and serves to educate the buyer about the home, issues arising and associated repair costs. This service starts at around $480 and up. Property Tax and Prepaid Utilities Adjustments – If the previous owner prepaid property taxes or other utilities, they will be added to the buyer’s costs on closing. Alternately, if the owner owes taxes or utilities, this amount will be added as a credit for the buyers at closing. Good budgeting starts with good information. Speak to me about your buying situation and avoid surprises.

SAME OLD LUMBER STORY
E
very time the Canada-U.S. Softwood Lumber Agreement expires, the howls from south of the border begin, the trade fight starts and angst over job security sets in across B.C. Yes, Donald Trump is spouting more protectionist drivel than most of his predecessors. However, his stance on softwood is hardly original and crosses U.S. political party lines. Think about a president of the last 50 years who is less like Trump than all of the others. Jimmy Carter would be a good one. Yet Carter was a protectionist when it came to lumber as much any of the others, perhaps more. Carter’s home state of Georgia has a softwood lumber industry that needs to be protected from that evil Canadian lumber. That was put to the test about a decade back. Media called some home construction firms in Georgia and asked about the differences between Canadian and Georgian lumber. They all preferred Canadian lumber. A two-by-four from Georgia, we were told, often needed a hole drilled into it before a nail could be hammered home. The U.S. argument remains the same: the fees Canadian provincial governments charge lumber companies here to cut trees (stumpage) are too low and constitute an unfair subsidy. Therefore, the price of lumber on the shelves of do-it-yourself box stores in the U.S. is too low, squeezing out the U.S. lumber producers. It will get settled after some sabre-rattling. It always does. And the elephant in the room — the superior quality of lumber from B.C. — won’t be discussed. — Black Press

Coastal ice follies entertain
F
olks around B.C. had one warming experience as they began the new year with cold winter weather. That was the slapstick comedy of Vancouver, centre of the B.C. media universe, where people swarmed out of their milliondollar homes to scoop up ‘free’ salt and sand offered by harried city officials after the community’s collective failure to clear its sidewalks and driveways. There were reports of early birds hoarding the precious salt mix, perhaps to sell. While he was in Vancouver for the 2010 Olympics, U.S. comedian Stephen Colbert coined a term that fits: “iceholes.” Mayor Gregor Robertson was nowhere to be seen, enjoying a sunny vacation of similar duration to his climate-crusading buddy Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. A chastened city bureaucrat stood before TV cameras to explain how salt supplies had run out. Critics posted photos to social media of Vancouver’s famous bike lanes, carefully cleared of snow while sidewalks were left to turn to ice. Beyond our bumbling biggest city, communities like Chilliwack dealt with far more snow, and local governments received mixed reviews. The further from Vancouver one gets, the more realistic and self-reliant people become about winter. In Hope, the local council went into the holiday season discussing whether the district
TOM FLETCHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA should take over sidewalk snow clearing, rather than leave it to property owners as is the standard bylaw approach. I posted a Hope Standard news report on the deliberations to my Facebook page, and a lively debate ensued. A few people suggested municipal contractors could be hired to clear sidewalks, while others warned the shift of liability from individual property owners to the local government would be an expensive mistake. My contribution was a bit sarcastic: “Forget personal responsibility, neighbour helping neighbour, all those old 20th Century concepts. Let’s just discuss the terms of our surrender to the Nanny State. And who needs exercise anyway? We have free health care.” But that’s the thing about our urbanizing, aging society. Neighbours don’t take care of neighbours as much as they used to, just as more and more people reach an age of needing help. One suggestion was that municipalities should only clean
sidewalks for the elderly. Great, now all we need is an Inspector of Elderliness for each community, and a database of seniors that will need to be updated quarterly. I don’t mean to minimize the struggles of people with disabilities and age-related mobility issues. But the fact is they are better off in high-density urban areas, even with interrupted access to services that no one had a generation ago. The end of el Nino ocean current events like that of 2016 is frequently followed by cold winters. It created an upsurge in ‘global cooling’ speculation, even as media continued to focus on isolated high temperatures at the North Pole while ignoring the intense cold all around it. University of Toronto geologists Nick Eyles and Andrew Miall wrote a book in 2010 called Canada Rocks – The Geologic Journey. They later concluded that science and media “seemingly stagger from one widely proclaimed crisis to another,” apparently on the assumption that everything since 1940 is human caused. “The past climate record suggests that for much of the Earth’s surface, future cooling is the norm,” they wrote in 2014. “Without natural climate change, Canada would be buried under ice three kilometres thick; that is the normal state for most of the last 2.5 million years, with 100,000-years-long ice ages alternating with brief, short-lived interglacials such as the present, which is close to its end.” tfletcher@blackpress.ca

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
WILL GUN VIOLENCE END? WILL ‘SOME DAY’ COME? Editor: According to an article published in the online version of the Telegraph (U.K.), an 84-yearold great-grandmother named Olga Woltering, a British citizen, was one of the first people killed in the Jan. 6 shooting spree at the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport. She was on vacation with her husband. She was an innocent victim of a senseless act of violence. Also victimized were her husband, other family members, her loved ones at home, members of the church she attended and people in the community
where she lived. She was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. The guy who pulled the trigger, Esteban Santiago, didn’t know her from any other person in the airport that day. But he still killed her. One day people with red rods came to measure holes in a house nearby. My life changed that day. I thought of the woman I loved and with whom I promised to spend my life, for better or for worse. I thought how she could have been killed. I thought of men in uniform coming to our
door to let me know that my wife wouldn’t be coming home again. All because of — what? A crappy old barn of a house that should have been condemned two years before? A bunch of self-centred, greedy goons who had no regard for anybody else? People who wanted to intimidate others or stake a claim on what they thought to be their turf or their women? Thank God I never got the news that came in the dreams I used to often have. Thank God I never had to look at her obituary in the
newspaper. I would have known the reasons. Joe and Jane Public would have just looked at her picture and seen a beautiful woman they may have never known. Some day, gun violence might end. Some day, people won’t have to grieve the loss of a loved one because of the actions of a person filled with hate, be it on behalf of ISIS or the drug trade. Some day, God will judge the moral knowledge of these things. Some day. John Noakes Kamloops
BC HYDRO SMART METERS HAVE BEEN COLOSSAL FAILURE Editor: The B.C. Liberal government’s Clean Energy Act forced smart meters on everyone. Compare the promises with the outcome: a) “Energy rates will be reduced.” This has not happened anywhere. Look at Ontario, for example. b) “It’s good for the environment.” How? Where has this proven to be true? c) “There will be effi-
ciencies.” Not with life spans of smart meters being far shorter than given in the business case — closer to five years than the promised 20. d) “Measurements Canada has stricter guidelines that analogs don’t meet.” Not true, according to Measurements Canada itself. They don’t care what meter is used, as long as it’s accurate. e) “Analogs are not
available.” Not true. Look to California. f ) “Smart meters are safe in every regard.” Not true. Health is endangered by radio frequency, safety by fires and security by hacking and cyberattacks. g) “Costs will be reduced.” Not when the meters are being replaced/upgraded virtually constantly. Not when security measures could cost billions and were never
included in the initial business plan. A BC Hydro rep told me they “treat everyone equally,” yet was silent when I questioned the extortion fees the refuseniks were paying for manual readings, while smart meter owners receive the same service without extra charge. The BC Utilities Commission was disempowered by former premier Gordon Campbell’s mandate.
Had it been able to do its job, the smart-meter program would have been revealed for the colossal financial fiasco it is, endangering our health, privacy, safety and security. Stop it now and cut our losses. Get these smart meters recalled and bring the safe, cheap, dependable analogs back by changing the Clean Energy Act. P. Gregson Clearwater

A First Nations woman has pleaded guilty to shooting a California bighorn sheep — one of three she hunted — and leaving most of its meat behind. Marlene Kato was sentenced yesterday in provincial court under the Wildlife Act for failing to failing to remove edible portions of a carcass. The law is in place to ensure hunters kill for more than a trophy rack or horns. Crown prosecutor Joel Gold said on Nov. 9, 2014, conservation officers found two of the three dead rams within 10 metres of a logging road in an area north of Kamloops Lake while the third was about 500 metres away on a slope. They had been killed the previous day. While meat was removed from two of the animals, most of the meat from the third ram was left on the hillside. Kato, a member of the Ashcroft Indian Band who works at Overlander Residential Care, was originally charged with three counts of failing to remove edible portions of a carcass, but two of the counts were dropped in return for her pleading guilty to the single charge. She was accompanied by her husband and daughter at the time of the hunt. Judge Chris Cleaveley sentenced Kato to a $2,000 fine. All but $100 of that amount will go to the B.C. Habitat Conservation Trust Fund. As part of the deal, she forfeited her right to trophy parts — the cape and the skull and horns. Outside court, conservation officer Kevin Van Damme said the shooting of the three rams is a concern to local First Nations because sustenance hunting should be done for food, rather than profit. Parts harvested from bighorn sheep can fetch as much as $20,000 on the open market. The law allows aboriginal hunting for food. “We commonly see that with aboriginal people with moose and deer and elk. We don’t see a lot of sustenance hunting for sheep,” Van Damme said, noting it does occur. Kato did bring the head and horns to ministry officials for identification and reporting. They were seized. Van Damme said Tk’emlups and Skeetchestn Indian bands both manage bighorn sheep populations and typically require their members to obtain a permit before hunting for sheep. “In speaking with chief and council . . . there was no support for this hunt.” Non-aboriginal hunters can apply in a lottery for the right to harvest bighorn sheep. The odds of winning a tag are in the order of 1-1,000. “You can apply for a lifetime and not get a draw,” Van Damme said. Hunting bighorn sheep at that time of year and area is also not considered sport because the animals are not wary of people and will wander beside busy roads and highways. California bighorn sheep are considered an atrisk species in B.C.

‘Why do the Cavers skeptical about benefits authorities wait touted by Kinder Morgan until it’s too late?’ ENERGY

Friends who knew him said he had overcome many hurdles in life and was living with a positive and supportive foster family. Many friends took to social media to express their grief. Jennifer Dawn Adams knew Middleton and had conversations with him as he dealt with his identity issues. She said she saw a talented teen who loved hip hop and cared about his friends but who was also looking for answers, “who felt different. And, when you’re different from everybody else, it’s difficult to find your place.” Adams said society needs to strip away the shame that comes with drug use and deal with its reality, advocating for all schools to do outreach and publicsafety sessions on opiates and addictions. “Why, why, why do the authorities wait until it’s too late? Reaching one kid can save a life. If they know

how to navigate this wasteland that is drug use in 2017, we can save some children from death. “We can’t save them if we don’t reach out. We can’t help if we don’t end the stigma and start talking about it, straight up no punches pulled. This is no time for pussy footing around or worrying about offending people. “Education arms kids. It doesn’t lead them to a lifestyle of drug use, making sure they have access to treatment and help and compassion and understanding, not stigma and judgment.”
Earlier this year Middleton updated his Facebook profile with a new picture, writing: “You probably think I’m crazy, That may be a little bit true, So if you think I’m crazy, Maybe I’m just different to you.” His last post, made the day before he died, was again a selfie accompanied with the words “I ain’t that hard to love.” Kamloops RCMP Cpl. Jodi Shelkie told KTW police are assisting coroners in their investigation. “We are working with the coroners’ office now,” she said.
According to Milobar, adding the tax revenue could help council deal with complaints from Domtar and other heavy industries that their tax load is unfair compared to those in other municipalities. Speaking in Kamloops in November, Kinder Morgan Canada president Ian Anderson predicted construction could start as early as November next year. Earl said crews will be expected to work around peak tourism season dates, including the May long weekend. Coun. Donovan Cavers, who has spoken out against the pipeline expansion as a private citizen and also in his role as a BC Green Party candidate, said he does not believe the pipeline is the victory for community safety it is sometime billed. “I was at a [Thompson Nicola Regional District] meeting and Ian Anderson was presenting and I asked him point blank, ‘if this new pipeline is built will capacity come off of rail?’” Caver said. “He said ‘no.’ So basically, the argument that it’s safer, maybe that’s true. But is it actually going
to make our communities safer with fewer oil rail cars going through? No.” Cavers said he sees any job gains for Kamloops as short lived, and argued Canada should try to refine oil products at home rather than shipping bitumen to the coast for refining overseas.

Report: Federal government needs help tackling cyberthreats THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — The Canadian government is “simply not up to the overall challenge” of fending off cyberthreats on its own and must partner with the private sector and the United States to tackle the problem, warns a federally commissioned report. Canada is a prime target for cybercrime, state-sponsored attacks and lone hackers, and government officials have a crucial role to play in helping fend them off, the authors conclude. “The productivity and competitiveness of Canada in the digital age will require a strong defence of its critical information and technical infrastructure,” the report says. “Current efforts by government, industry and communities need to be better co-ordinated and more strategic.”
The Canadian Press used the Access to Information Act to obtain a final draft version of the April 2016 report on cyberthreat information-sharing protocols and policies in Canada and the United States. The report comes amid growing concern about damaging intrusions into computer systems that expose personal information, commercial secrets and sensitive government data — endangering everything from credit ratings to national security. The disclosure of pilfered Democratic Party emails proved embarrassing to presidential contender Hillary Clinton when published by WikiLeaks. The U.S. says Moscow led the attack, though Russia has denied involvement. Three years ago, the Canadian government blamed a sophisticated,
Chinese state-sponsored actor for a breach of the National Research Council’s networks that resulted in a shutdown of the research agency’s information-technology system. Beijing accused Canada of making irresponsible allegations. However, Canada’s spy agency has openly warned that China and Russia are out to steal national secrets. Under Canada’s cybersecurity strategy, the federal government is responsible for securing its own systems, working with the provincial governments and private sector to keep other systems safe and helping Canadians to protect themselves online. The report, prepared for Public Safety Canada by consulting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers, found the government informationtechnology community is already overwhelmed with challenges such
as aging systems and a move to cloud computing. At the same time, few small businesses have full-time computer security staff. The latest federal budget promised $77 million in new money over five years to bolster cybersecurity. The report recommends broader engagement of the private sector, saying Canadian government budgets, resources and capabilities “are simply not up to the overall challenge.” It calls for closer collaboration with the U.S. to take advantage of the billions of dollars Washington is spending on cybersecurity. It also urges more cooperation with smalland medium-sized businesses in developing solutions. The report also cautions that any effort to ramp up surveillance and information-gathering to counter threats
in cyberspace must be balanced with respect for privacy and personal liberties. It says that means building in strict criteria on the use of information as well as sufficient oversight. Ottawa recently wrapped up a national cybersecurity consultation. The aim is to identify gaps and opportunities, come up with fresh ideas and capitalize on the advantages of new technology. The recommendations of the commissioned report will be taken into account as part of the cybersecurity review, said Public Safety spokeswoman Karine Martel. “Keeping Canadians safe while protecting their privacy rights remains a priority for the government and will be reflected in the policy and program decisions that stem from this ongoing review.’’
Jury selection begins for triple murder trial THE CANADIAN PRESS
CALGARY — A huge pool of prospective jurors was called to a Calgary courtroom yesterday to choose a jury for the trial of a man accused of killing a little boy and his grandparents in 2014. Douglas Garland, 56, was arrested following the disappearance of Alvin and Kathy Liknes and their five-year-old grandson Nathan O’Brien in June, 2014. He faces three counts of first-degree murder in a five-week trial that begins Monday. A total of 472 people were called in order to choose 14 jurors and two alternates. “I understand this will cause you some inconvenience. It is part of the price we pay for living in a free society,”
said Justice Robert Hall. He said there are several reasons an individual can be excused from jury duty, including not being old enough, not being a Canadian citizen, working for the police or military or being an elected official. “Mere inconvenience is not a reason to be exempted from jury duty,’’ Hall said. Because of the publicity the case has received, lawyers were allowed to ask questions of the potential jurors as is done in American courts. In the American system, lawyers ask jurors if they have followed the case, try to determine if they have any obvious prejudices, or anything else that might make them unsuitable. The Crown and
defence have to agree whether an individual is an acceptable juror. Nathan had been sleeping over at his grandparents after they held an estate sale at their Calgary home in advance of a move to Edmonton and then Mexico. When his mother arrived to pick up Nathan the next morning, no one was home. Police have said there was evidence of a violent encounter in the house, but have not disclosed a motive. Investigators have combed through several properties surrounding the area near Airdrie, north of Calgary, where Garland lived. Garland, wearing a blue prison jumpsuit and with his feet shackled, was in court for the selection. Three days have been set aside to choose the jury.

Funerals held for victims of N.S. murder-suicide TRACADIE, N.S. — Lionel Desmond’s casket was draped in a Canadian flag yesterday, as mourners packed a 200-year-old Nova Scotia church for the funeral of the former soldier and the mother he shot to death. Rev. John Barry told about 300 mourners at the service for Desmond and his 52-year-old mother Brenda that it was impossible to offer an explanation for such a “horrific tragedy.’’ RCMP have confirmed 33-year-old Lionel Desmond shot his wife Shanna, their daughter Aaliyah and his mother Brenda

before turning the gun on himself in their family home in rural Upper Big Tracadie, N.S., last week. The funeral service for Desmond’s 31-year-old wife and 10-year-old daughter is scheduled for today at 2 p.m. Family members say Lionel Desmond was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder
after a tour in Afghanistan in 2007, and had received treatment from the military. But relatives have also suggested the former infantryman did not get the help he needed when he returned to Nova Scotia 18 months ago.
Perjury conviction upheld for former Mountie linked to Dziekanski case
VANCOUVER — British Columbia’s Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of a former Mountie found guilty of perjury
in relation to the death of a Polish immigrant in Vancouver in 2007. In a two-to-one decision, a panel of three judges refused to overturn a lower court’s decision that found Benjamin (Monty) Robinson had lied to a public inquiry about the circumstances surrounding the death of Robert Dziekanski. Robinson was the senior of four officers who were called to the Vancouver International Airport on Oct. 14, 2007, after Dziekanski began throwing furniture in the arrivals terminal. A stun gun was used repeat-
edly on Dziekanski after police arrived before he died. Robinson’s lawyer, David Crossin, argued during the appeal that the Crown’s allegations that the officers colluded on a story and then lied at the inquiry were based on circumstantial evidence. Robinson was discharged from the RCMP in 2012, shortly after he was convicted of obstruction of justice in an unrelated case where he was involved in a crash that killed a 21-year-old motorcyclist. — The Canadian Press

former economic journalist who spent several years working and living in Moscow, has called Putin an authoritarian, an autocrat and “really dangerous.” Following the cabinet shuffle Tuesday that made her Canada’s top diplomat, Freeland said her background left her “well-positioned’’ to be part of the government’s Russian engagement, despite the fact her name is on Putin’s sanctions list. As for getting off that list, “That’s up to Moscow,’’ she said. The Russian sanctions will be a major topic of discussion when a group of Canadian MPs heads to Europe and Asia next week to assess Russia’s impact on the region. A source told The Canadian Press that some of its discussions will centre on whether sanctions are effective, and whether they have any unintended consequences.

OTTAWA — Canada is rebuffing the Kremlin’s thinly veiled overtures that it might be willing to lift a travel ban on new Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland if it eases sanctions on Russia. Joseph Pickerill, Freeland’s spokesman, says Canada isn’t interested in any bargaining on the subject. “There is no quid pro quo for aggression and illegal action on their part,’’ Pickerill said in an email. The Russian news agency Sputnik reported yesterday that the country wanted to improve relations with Canada and end the diplomatic fight between the two countries. Sputnik reported that a source in the Russian foreign ministry told reporters, “We are ready to co-operate with Canada
in all directions, improve relations and end the sanctions war. But we did not start it. The question is for Ottawa.’’ Asked to comment on the report, Kirill Kalinin, a spokesman for the Russian embassy in Ottawa, suggested the onus in now on Canada if it wants the travel ban on Freeland lifted. “The very last part, ‘(The) question is for Ottawa,’ means that since Canada was the first to implement sanctions, it should be Canada to be the first to cancel some of them,’’ Kalinin said in an email. Freeland, who replaces Stephane Dion as Canada’s top diplomat, is among a dozen Canadians placed on a Russian sanctions list in 2014 as part of Russian President Vladimir Putin’s tit-for-tat response to Western sanctions following Russian-backed military incursions into Crimea.

PROTECTING STORIES UNTOLD Joanne Hammond can identify more than 50 archeological sites on Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve land legally protected in a provincial database under the Heritage Conservation Act. The archeologist says there is a gap in legislation identifying and protecting such sites. JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER JESSICA@KAMLOOPSTHISWEEK.COM
O
verlooking an excavated area in Juniper Ridge, Joanne Hammond ponders stories untold.
“If there was an [archeological] site down there first, that’s gone now,” she told KTW. “There’s no piece of history left there.” Looking across the river at Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve land, the archeologist points to more than 50 sites legally protected in a provincial database under the Heritage Conservation Act. She said those sites are recorded because First Nations have been proactive — not necessarily the case
for remnants of history potentially scattered throughout the rest of the city. Ninety-seven archeological sites have been identified within Kamloops municipal boundaries. In B.C., there are more than 46,000. As for that excavated area in Juniper? “There aren’t any sites recorded up here,” Hammond said.“Not because there aren’t any sites here, but because nobody has looked for them here.” According to the provincial archeology branch, which operates as part of the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, for 98 per cent of the time people have lived in British Columbia, no written records were made. That makes archeological sites significant — tiny pieces of evidence
telling larger stories about how and where people lived in the past throughout the province. “We’re talking about almost 10,000 years of occupation before the Europeans got here and everything people did was carried out on this landscape, from birth to death,” Hammond said. While governments acknowledge the importance of archeological sites, a landmark B.C. Supreme Court judgement in recent years meant a step back in protecting and identifying them. According to the Vancouver Sun, the ruling said the “1996 Heritage Conservation Act gave departmental officials no statutory authority to require [the homeowner] to pay for a heritage inspection or heritage investigation under any circumstances.”

That decision came after the archeological branch tried to charge a Victoria homeowner $600,000 to preserve an undesignated heritage site. “It’s kind of a regulatory gap and it has become more exacerbated in the past couple of years because of the province’s changes at the provincial level, of how the provincial archeological branch and how their staff are allowed to direct people to do assessments,” Hammond said. It’s still illegal to damage archeological sites, but the ruling has made protecting them more difficult, being that the branch was effectively stripped of an enforcement tool. Added to that, it’s nobody’s job to pre-emptively scour lands in search of arrowheads or stone tools. See CITY, A16

City to model mapping in Prince George From A15
In Hammond’s 20 years working with First Nations, governments, universities and developers throughout the province, she believes heritage conservation should be a higher priority. The province has put some of the onus on municipalities. On its website, the province “recommends archeological site management be included in Official Community Plans at a municipal level.” In Kamloops, the city notifies developers of known recorded archeological sites. It doesn’t go far enough, in Hammond’s opinion. “That sort of implies we know where every site is and that’s simply not the case,” she said. The city’s development and engineering services director, Marvin Kwiatkowski, said the city relies on mapping
“That’s the weak
link in the matter is the mapping.”
— MARVIN KWIATKOWSKI, development and engineering services director
the province supplies but said it can be vague. He said despite it being a provincial issue, the city is in the process of trying to provide better clarity, improving mapping based on work being done in Prince George. It comes after feedback from the Tk’emlups Indian Band in a community-tocommunity forum in November. “That’s the weak link in the matter is the mapping,” Kwiatkowski said. Hammond said seasoned developers and big industry often have archeological-impact assessments intertwined into business practices, but noted the average person isn’t thinking about potential
historical evidence on their property that can be destroyed during even basic home renovations. She’d like impact assessments to be required before ground is broken, which she said could prevent project delays and save money. “So, if nobody is telling them at the planning stage and they get to the point where they’ve got an excavator on site and they’re digging into and they find an archeological site, they’ve already done the damage,” Hammond said. “They’ve already destroyed it, right? And nobody told them to look out for it to begin with.”
Identifying sites Archeological sites that may be visible to a nonarcheologist include: • Rock art, including pictographs and petroglyphs; • Surface features such as depressions created by former habitations, earthen fortifications, rock cairns, fish traps and clam gardens; • Artifacts that have become visible on the land surface owing to erosion or recent land altering activity. These may be produced in a variety of materials such as stone, bone, antler, wood or shell; • Buried cultural remains that may be sighted in a cutbank, excavation, eroded shoreline or other exposed deposit. — Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Archeological resources can be found on the ground, buried or submerged in water. Through investigations, research and analysis, archeologists work like detectives to uncover clues that allow them to understand the people who once inhabited the land. Archeological research and interpretations contribute to the understanding of Canadian history and of history in general. — Parks Canada, which employs more archeologists than any other federal department

Saddleback Drive expected to open in coming months
K Q?
Q: In Batchelor Heights, development on Saddleback Drive was completed except for a short portion of road that has been closed for a long time. Only now does it look like it is being completed, although there are no houses on either side. Can someone from the city explain why Saddleback was cut off with this short piece of road and when it might open to connect the two Saddlebacks?
amloops uery
You supply the questions, we find the answers. Send us your query on all things Kamloops to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.
A: City of Kamloops assistant transportation engineer Liam Baker expects the road to open up sooner than later. He said the road is functionally complete but the roadblock — so to speak — is that the city has yet to take ownership of the section in question. “During development, ownership of roads and utilities is
transferred to the city at the time that the subdivision is finalized and approved,” he said. “Once accepted by the city and the new lots registered at the land title office, the developer can sell the properties. “In the case of the section of Saddleback Drive, the developer has not yet applied for final subdivision approval. Once the developer does so and it is accepted by the city, the final section of Saddleback will be opened.” Baker expects the application from the developer in coming months, with the road to open soon after.

Lohri, one of the most celebrated festivals in India, will include cultural Gidha performances on Saturday night at St. John Vianney.
Two chances to celebrate Lohri this weekend JESSICA WALLACE
STAFF REPORTER
jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com
Kuldeep Dhami laughs at the thought of having a bonfire at St. John Vianney
in Westsyde. “We would love to, if there was a way,” she said. “I don’t think the parish would allow us to put something inside.” A bonfire is one of

2017 Commercial Vehicle Licence Plate Renewal Owners and operators of commercial vehicles are reminded that before a vehicle is used or operated on any highway within the municipality, the vehicle requires a Commercial Vehicle Licence Plate (decal) be displayed pursuant to City of Kamloops Licensing of Commercial Vehicles Bylaw No. 33-5. As of January 1, 2017, the 2017 plates (turquois-coloured decals) are required to be displayed. The 2017 plate is valid throughout all participating municipalities in British Columbia Commercial Vehicle Licence Plates range from $25 to $40 per vehicle annually and are based on vehicle weight. They can be purchased at City Hall, 7 Victoria Street West, and By-law Services Parking Control, 6 Seymour Street West, between 8:30 am and 4:30 pm, on presentation of a validated certificate of insurance. The decal must be displayed on the lower right-hand corner of the vehicle’s windshield. For additional information, phone 250-828-3481.
the many traditions of Lohri, an Indian celebration of new beginnings which Dhami is helping to organize this weekend in Kamloops. Traditionally, Dhami said, girls went from home to home collecting sweets, such as baked goods and sugar cane candy. Songs were also sung around
a bonfire and gifts were given. Lohri is celebrated worldwide on Jan. 13. “It’s the end of the winter season in India,” Dhami said. “Celebration of new life, new birth, new weddings. It started off as sort of a folklore.” In Kamloops, a smaller celebration will be held tomor-
row night at the Sikh Cultural Society, 700 Cambridge Cres., but a larger event will follow on Saturday for women only. The event, which features food, door prizes and Punjabi dancing, draws 200 to 300 attendees and has been held locally for more than 15 years. “We have lots of
MEMORY PROBLEMS? Are you or a loved one missing words or forgetting names?
and to have a good time” without having to call the fire department. “We thought about putting an electric fireplace,” she said. “But that just doesn’t cut it.” Tickets for Saturday’s celebration are $10 for adults and $5 for children five to 10 years of age. They can be purchased in advance from Fortune Health Foods, 750 Fortune Dr., or at the door. St. John Vianney is at 2826 Bank Rd. Both celebrations are at 6 p.m.

RIESLINGS LIKE BRUSSELS SPROUTS — TRY AGAIN
I
Bored in the kitchen? Find cultural inspiration KATIE WORKMAN
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
I
f you tend to fall into cooking ruts, one easy way to snap out of it is to check out the holiday calendars of different cultures. Next up on my list of inspirations is the Lunar New Year — or Chinese New Year. I love cooking Chinese and Asian food all year, but certain foods carry symbolism in Chinese culture and are intrinsic parts of this holiday. Many of the new year’s foods are associated with luck and prosperity. Long noodles symbolize longevity. The word for orange in Chinese is similar to the word for gold signifying wealth, so that fruit is commonly presented and shared. The round shape also signifies fullness. Fish is served whole, to symbolize a strong year to come, start to finish. Finally, green foods are equated with money. It takes just a few
ingredients — garlic, ginger, soy sauce, hot chili sauce — to turn a variety of vegetables into a delicious Asian side dish. Because my husband is knee-deep in love with bok choy these days, that was the vegetable I picked to create my prosperity green vegetable dish. Bok choy is available in cute baby versions but, for this dish, you can use the inexpensive bigger bunches. Look for it in wellstocked produce sections or Asian specialty stores. This dish has a nice amount of cooking liquid, so serve it over rice alongside a main course. I’m under no illusions that money equals happiness, but I do know this green dish makes my family happy — and that’s a rewarding feeling. Wishing all of you lots of luck in the year of the Rooster.

2 tbsp. sesame seeds (optional) 1 tbsp. vegetable oil 1 tbsp. minced garlic 1 tbsp. minced ginger 2 pounds bok choy, trimmed, sliced into oneinch pieces and rinsed 1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth 2 tbsp. soy sauce 1 tsp. Sriracha or other hot chilli sauce Place sesame seeds, if using, in a large stock pot or braiser. It will seem silly, but you will use the same pan to cook the bok choy. Heat pan over medium heat, stirring frequently until seeds are fragrant and turn golden in colour, about two or three minutes. Watch carefully, so they don’t overcook. Turn seeds onto a small plate and set aside. Heat vegetable oil in same pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and ginger. Stir for one minute until aromatic. Add bok choy. It’s OK if it’s still a bit damp and stir for another two minutes. Pour in broth, soy sauce and hot sauce and bring to a simmer. Cover pan and cook bok choy for about eight minutes, until tender, stirring occasionally. Transfer to serving bowl with cooking liquid and serve hot, with sesame seeds sprinkled on top.

t’s resting time in the wine world. The grapes are all bubbling away in their barrels and tanks. The field workers are keeping warm. The wine-makers are plotting and planning. It’s a good time to reflect on what your wine goals are for 2017 and what you would like to get out of your wine experiences this year. I love resolutions. I make lots and, when I forget half of them, it’s OK because I am still working on others. I usually try to make a few wine suggestions to myself at the beginning of each year so I’m still learning about the great grape art after all this time. Here are a few of my resolutions you can share with me, if you like. The first is to decant. Already decant red wine regularly? Great — but decant more. If you don’t decant, try it. You don’t need anything fancy. You can even pour it into a wide-mouth mason jar, if you want. Just get some air on that bad boy. No harm can come to any wine from decanting. The only pitfall is fruit flies and I can’t help you there. (They are the bane of my existence.) The second wine resolution is to learn. Go to a wine-mak-

er’s dinner at one of our local restaurants. Sign up for a seminar at the Sun Peaks Winter Okanagan Wine Festival or take one of the classes offered through the city. I have never been disappointed by one of these programs and it’s always made winedrinking a more enjoyable experience. You’ll have to hunt out these opportunities, but they are worth the work. The third wine resolution is to get out of your comfort zone. Love South African wines? Great, buy one from Spain. Can’t stand riesling? Me, neither. Grab one from Germany. We all get into ruts and forget to just try again. Rieslings are like brussels sprouts. You start out not liking them when you are young, but really miss out if you don’t try them again when you are older and wiser and you haven’t wrecked your taste buds with Pop Rocks candy.

Finally, the fourth commitment for 2017 is the best one. Drink wine on Wednesdays. Make a nice dinner and crack open that bottle to enjoy that glass. Much like the good china, the good wine needs to come off the shelf and make it to your table. Wine is not for special occasions. Well, actually, it is for special occasions and you are special enough to celebrate any day of the week. Break out the good glasses, good wine the good china and eat spaghetti at the kitchen counter with your partner. Make a picnic in front of the fireplace in the middle of the week and crack open a bottle. Just enjoy the wine — no matter the day. Wine keeps. If you open it on Wednesday, you can have the second glass on Saturday. In fact, if you leave it open from Wednesday to Saturday, you are ticking off numbers one and four together. Look at you, overachiever! Regardless of where 2017 takes you, I hope you get a chance to enjoy some of the finer things in life along the way. Here’s to a fantastic year — cheers!

The Buick Envision fills a gap in the company’s utility vehicle offerings — between the size of the smaller Encore and the full-size Enclave.
Buick envisions latest crossover-utility vehicle WADE OZEROFF
DRIVEWAY CANADA
drivewaycanada.com
I
happened to be at the Azuridge Hotel after our first look at Buick’s newest addition to their utility-vehicle stable, an exquisite and high-end boutique destination normally reserved for far more important people. It was American election night and
everybody’s smartphone was displaying their favourite news site, the conversation dominated by the goings-on south of the border. I kept passing by the big-screen TV over the coffee bar in the lobby, sharing the increasingly stunned disbelief of roughly half the world and wonder at what the future would hold. It made me wonder what was in store for Buick’s latest crossover
ute, the 2017 Envision. The Envision is the first vehicle from GM’s luxury arm to be built entirely in China (which is where the largest market for the brand is, by far), and we’ll see if that stirs up any controversy in the new, ultra-protectionist political climate that has been ushered into office. That aside, the Envision provides another gap-filler in the midsize crossover/ utility offerings from
the company, fitting in, size-wise, between the cute-as-a button Encore and the fullsize Enclave. It is available with two engine choices — the base being a 2.5 litre four-cylinder mill, but the more exciting option is the turbo 2.0L — and promises to push Buick’s reputation as the ‘luxury’ brand ever forward. Now that America is going to be great again, power is the only thing
that matters and the Envision revs. Even if the company isn’t predicting the turbo to have the highest adoption of the field of new Envisions, the performance of the two-litre is bound to attract a lot of fans with its potential 252 horses (and 260 lb.-ft. of torque). The 2017 Envision shows off what Buick is touting as the bestrated in interior ever, in terms of noise insulation and vibration
suppression inside the cabin. The cabin itself is suitably bedecked in leather (or leather-ish) upholstery and trim. Or at least it was in the model I drove earlier in the day — a premium trim level, with the zesty two-litre beneath the hood — in a rather truncated bit of seat-time, around the foothills of southern Alberta. I won’t try to pigeonhole the new ute after a half day of driving out to
Longview, but the Envision definitely holds to the standards Buick is known for and brings on the promised quietude and smoothness of the ride. Liquid sound deadeners are incorporated throughout the body of the vehicle and improved glass all around make conversation audible throughout the cabin, even at low volume. See ‘BEHAVIOUR,’ A22

GONE TOO YOUNG
POZZOBON’S DEATH MOURNED; FAMILY POINTS TO HEAD INJURIES, CONCUSSIONS ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
M
erritt-based professional bull rider Ty Pozzobon died suddenly on Monday. He was 25 years old. The family released a statement on Tuesday night after being overwhelmed with calls and warned of the dangers of concussions like those sustained by Ty. “It’s important that people know about the implications of head injuries as a result of concussions,” Leanne Pozzobon, Ty’s mother, said. Merritt RCMP confirmed on Tuesday that Ty was found deceased on Monday morning at his home west of the city. The cause of death was not released, but it is not considered to be suspicious and the investigation has been turned over to the BC Coroners Service. Ty was well known for his kindness and infectious positivity. He was widely considered the best bull rider in Canada and was expected to challenge for a world title in 2017. “What I will remember most about Ty is how he impacted so many lives,” said family friend and spokesperson Gail Joe, who knew Ty for 20 years. “He was the most positive person ever. He made everybody feel great and happy. He was a giver. “Not only was he a leader and high profile and successful in what he did, but he was a mentor to many young children, especially those children wanting to grow up and be bull riders.” Throughout his professional career, Ty maintained his connection with his home-
IAN WEBSTER/ MERRITT HERALD
National-champion bull rider Ty Pozzobon was found dead at his home near Merritt on Monday morning. The cause of death is not considered to be suspicious. Pozzobon was seemingly universally loved and the outpouring of support for his family has been astonishing.
town despite being based in Texas during the U.S. bull-riding season. From 2013 to 2015, he and his family hosted the Ty Pozzobon Invitational in Merritt. But Ty had his struggles, too. Asked why it was important for the family to comment on concussions in their statement, Joe said head injuries had taken their toll on the young rider. “As positive and enthusiastic as Ty has been over the last couple months, he was just as troubled and depressed,” she said. “You don’t want to realize or accept that there could be those kind of consequences. And those kind of consequences can happen so quickly.” Locally, Steven Puhallo, president of the Farm Kids Fund, which annually hosts the New Year’s Eve Bullarama fundraiser at the North Thompson Agriplex in Barriere, has fond memories of the man. “Everybody knew Ty,” he said. Ty and his father, Luke, were instrumental in helping start the Bullarama, lending their services as owners of Pozzobon Bucking Bulls, a family-owned
and operated herd started in 2010. “He was just a class act of a guy and a real champion, both in the arena and out,” Puhallo continued. In addition to Luke and Leanne, Ty leaves behind one sister, Amy, and his wife, Jayd. He had no children. Ranked 23rd this season on the Professional Bull Riders (PBR) circuit, Ty had 14 career top 10 finishes on the circuit, with career earnings of more than $250,000. The eight-year pro was a regular at the Calgary Stampede, the Canadian Finals Rodeo and was the 2016 PBR Canada champion. Ty was a four-time world finalist and finished fourth at the World PBR Finals in Las Vegas in November 2016. He won a national high school title in 2009 — he was a graduate of Merritt Secondary School — and was the Canadian Professional Rodeo Association rookie of the year in 2010. According to the Merritt Herald, in December, Merritt city council was mulling the possibility of adding “Home of professional bull rider Ty Pozzobon” to the city’s three welcome signs.
There was an outpouring of grief on social media in the hours after his death. “Lost a great athlete today. I had the privilege of calling him my friend,” fellow PBR rider Bryan Titman said on Twitter. “We sure are going to miss you buddy.” Condolences spread beyond the rodeo world. “Ty Pozzobon was a rising star in rodeo and a proud son of #Merritt,” BC Premier Christy Clark said on Twitter. “Absolutely tragic to see him gone so young.” PBR will celebrate Ty’s life beginning this weekend at an event in Chicago. “Ty Pozzobon was a cowboy through and through and loved being a professional bull rider,” said Sean Gleason, the CEO of PBR. “His infectious personality and enthusiasm for doing what he loved touched many of us and we will remember him always.” Ty’s funeral will be held on Saturday at 1 p.m. at the Merritt Civic Centre. The family requests that, in lieu of flowers, donations be made to the Rider Relief Fund at riderrelief.org.

The test of the Wesmen WITH WINNIPEG IN TOWN, CAN THE PACK PROVE THEY BELONG?
ADAM WILLIAMS STAFF REPORTER adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW
Luke Morris goes up for a basket last weekend against the Victoria Vikes at the Tournament Capital Centre.
The Winnipeg Wesmen might present the first real challenge the Thompson Rivers WolfPack have had in a while. Entering this weekend’s Canada West action at the Tournament Capital Centre, the WolfPack have won five of their last six conference games. But a quick look at the standings shows the Wolves — who rank eighth in the conference with a 6-6 record — haven’t exactly faced a Murderers’ Row of opponents in their last three weekends. The UBCOkanagan Heat and the UNBC Timberwolves account for four of Thompson Rivers’ victories and have combined to win just six times this season — the Heat are 2-10, while the T-Wolves are 4-8. Then, last weekend, as the WolfPack played host to the Victoria Vikes — who were 2-6 at the time — Thompson Rivers went 1-1 at the Tournament Capital Centre, losing the first contest 86-76. “On the first night, obviously, we played kind of poorly. We
POLARTHON 2017

didn’t have much energy out there,” said forward Luke Morris. “I thought we bounced back well — we played much better the second night. Hopefully we can carry that on to next week here for Winnipeg.” The Wesmen come to Kamloops ranked fourth in the conference, but they, too, have played their share of teams with sub-.500 records. So, when the Pack and the Wesmen line up this weekend, Thompson Rivers has the opportunity to prove that it belongs among the Canada West’s upper echelon of teams. “They’re a high-energy team. They have a lot of ups and downs. We’re going to take care of the ball and limit their offence off of turnovers,” Morris said of Winnipeg. Game time is 8 p.m. on Friday and 7 p.m. on Saturday. “We just have to play our game. Our energy has to always be up to compete with those guys [the top teams], but I think we have all the talent here to do that.” The WolfPack will be expecting big performances from two
of their sophomores in one of the club’s final homestands. Forward Joe Davis is ranked third in the conference in fieldgoal percentage, converting at a rate of 53.1 per cent. Guard Mike Rouault, meanwhile, was outstanding against the Vikes, notching 23 points, 16 rebounds, one block, three steals and five assists over two nights. “Mike plays hard. He is a guy that works hard every day. He prepares mentally and physically,” WolfPack head coach Scott Clark said. “It’s no surprise that he has enjoyed some success because he has bought in to how we want our players to prepare. That’s great. Lots of other guys are doing the same thing. “It’s good for Mike. He has had some good numbers. But, by the same token, we expect that. He has met our expectations.”
Women at home
The 2-10 WolfPack women will take on the 11-1 Wesmen on Friday and Saturday. Tipoffs are scheduled for 6 p.m. and 5 p.m., respectively.

Furyk to captain Bouchard U.S. at Ryder Cup into semis DOUG FERGUSON
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Jim Furyk was appointed yesterday as the U.S. captain for the 2018 Ryder Cup in France, where his team will try to win on European soil for the first time in 25 years. The former U.S. Open champion and the only player in history to twice post rounds in the 50s, brings more playing experience than any other U.S. captain. Furyk played on nine consecutive teams starting in 1997, and he was an assistant captain to Davis Love III last year at Hazeltine. Love will be one of his assistants in France. “He’s going to be a very tough act to follow,’’ Furyk said. “He put a system in
in Australia
place. He put the players behind it. It won’t make my task easier, but it makes it easier knowing there is a system in place.” The Americans reshaped their thinking after the 2014 loss at Gleneagles, where Phil Mickelson publicly questioned Tom Watson’s leadership and the lack of player involvement. That spawned a Ryder Cup Task Force that allowed for more input from the players, and now a Ryder Cup committee comprising three players (Mickelson, Love and Tiger Woods) and the top three PGA of America officials. The Americans won in 2016. Thomas Bjorn was appointed European captain for 2018 last month.
CANADIAN TENNIS STAR MIGHT BE ROUNDING INTO FORM AFTER LENGTHY STRUGGLES THE CANADIAN PRESS
SYDNEY, Australia — Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard continues her strong start to the year. The Westmount, Que., native defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 6-2, 6-3 in the quarter-finals yesterday at the Sydney International. Bouchard had a breakout season in 2014, reaching the semifinals at the Australian Open and French Open before making the final at Wimbledon. But she has only
gone past the fourth round at a major once since then and slipped to No. 46 at the end of last year. “I feel more and more confident every day,’’ Bouchard said. “I feel like I’m getting back into the rhythm of things a little bit, but it’s a long road.’’ The Canadian’s semifinal opponent was Sydney-born Johanna Konta of Britain, who beat Daria Kasatkina 6-3, 7-5. They played this morning, after KTW’s press deadline. Last year at the Australian Open, Konta became the first British woman to make a
Grand Slam semifinal since 1983 before losing to eventual champion Angelique Kerber. Meanwhile, former No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki’s streak of not advancing past the quarter-finals in her past seven Sydney Internationals was extended in stifling heat. In temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius for much of the match, Wozniacki lost 7-5, 6-7 (6), 6-4 to Barbora Strycova in a duel that stretched to 3 hours, 19 minutes. Both players were treated for foot injuries during a grueling second set at Ken
Rosewall Arena. Wozniacki came back from 5-2 down in that set, and then 5-0 in the tiebreaker, to win it and force a third set. “It was brutal out there . . . but you just try and think like you’re on a beach drinking pina coladas,’’ Wozniacki said. “That’s basically your train of thought. You know that it’s the same for both players, so I was just trying to mentally just try and keep cool.’’ In the other semifinal, Strycova played Agnieszka Radwanska last night after KTW’s press deadline.

All-star game format leads to snubs GREG BEACHAM
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — The NHL all-star game’s 3-on-3, fourteam tournament format put an intriguing spin on a staid exercise when it was introduced last season. The format also essentially guaranteed a few glaring snubs when the allstar teams are chosen. All four teams must have six forwards, three defencemen and two goalies apiece from each NHL division and every franchise in the league must be represented at least once. Those restrictions essentially guarantee an elite forward or defenceman in each division will be a victim of the numbers game. Especially when veteran stars such as Jonathan Toews can’t figure out why they’re going. In perhaps the most curious choice in Tuesday’s selections, Toews was chosen over teammates Artemi Panarin, Marian
JONATHAN TOEWS: Feeling guilty about all-star selection
Hossa and Artem Anisimov, who have all outscored the Blackhawks’ captain this season. “Most of the time, I guess I’d say it’s an honour,’’ Toews told reporters in Chicago. “This time, it’s a little bittersweet, I think. I’ve just got to completely admit that there’s a handful of guys on this team that are definitely more deserving, especially this year. . . . Why I got picked ahead of those guys, based on performance, I’m not sure.’’ Panarin is a particularly baffling omission: The rising Russian star known as the Bread Man had a
whopping 41 points in 43 games, ranking sixth in the NHL scoring race. Even defenceman Brent Seabrook, who wasn’t among Chicago’s NHL-high four All-Stars, has outscored Toews this year. Perhaps Toews was invited because of an ulterior motive: The NHL will unveil its choice of the top 100 players in league history on Jan. 27 in Los Angeles, two days before the All-Star Game at Staples Center. Toews, the three-time Stanley Cup champion and the youngest player to make the Triple Gold Club, could be a part of those festivities. The rest of the all-star rosters are an appropriate mix of talented veterans and young stars from the first half of a surprising season in which 19-yearold Connor McDavid is the NHL scoring leader, several Canadian teams are in playoff contention after the Great White North was shut out in 2016 and the overall NHL standings are topped by the Columbus Blue
Jackets — a franchise with zero playoff series victories in its first 15 NHL seasons. But the all-star snubs are numerous, too. How about Columbus’ Cam Atkinson, who began Tuesday in a tie for eighth in the NHL scoring race with 39 points? He has scored plenty of big goals during the Blue Jackets’ impressive rise, but wasn’t invited to join defenceman Seth Jones and goalie Sergei Bobrovsky. “With Jonesey and with Bob, it’s well-deserved,’’ Columbus coach John Tortorella said. “There’s a few other guys there that probably had a couple looks. You look at Cam and some of the things he’s done. But to get a couple guys on the team, it’s great.’’ Or how about Montreal’s Max Pacioretty (34 points) and Alexander Radulov (31 points), the Canadiens’ top two scorers during their outstanding season? They were beaten out in the Atlantic Division
by Detroit’s Frans Nielsen (22 points), Buffalo’s Kyle Okposo (27 points) and Florida’s Vincent Trocheck (24 points), the only representatives from their three respective teams. Edmonton goalie Cam Talbot has already won 20 games for the surging Oilers, but was beaten out by San Jose’s Martin Jones and Arizona’s Mike Smith. Buffalo’s Rasmus Ristolainen, Boston’s David Pastrnak, Minnesota’s Eric Staal, Winnipeg’s Mark Scheifele, Pittsburgh’s Phil Kessel, Philadelphia’s Jakub Voracek and Columbus rookie Zach Werenski also made strong cases in the first half of the season — and they’re still not entirely out of the picture. Injuries sometimes factor into the NHL’s initial all-star decisions, with teams quietly letting the league know when players have a nagging issue that could endanger their allstar availability.

In Loving Memory of JOHN VICTOR FARROW
4-Nokian All Weather P235/75/R15 on rims. Used 2 winters. $450. 250-573-5640.
Run until sold
Born on October 28, 1923 he passed peacefully into the Arms of his Saviour on December 27, 2016. John first saw the light of day in Calgary, but started his schooling in Prince George, BC, the family then moved to Burquitlam, BC where the family lived until they purchased the 110 Acre Dairy farm in Fort Langley, early 1948. John obtained a degree in Science and Agriculture from UBC and shortly thereafter met and married the love of his life, Jeanette Hunter, on June 16, 1948. They ran the dairy farm in Fort Langley, BC with his parents, and then moved to acquire a cattle ranch in Princeton, BC. After the loss of John’s father, John, Jean and their first two children came back to Fort Langley where they sold the dairy herd and maintained a beef herd. His family continued to grow with the addition of two more children, and John stayed busy with an additional job as Agricultural Manager at the P.N.E in Vancouver, BC. In 1968, John accepted a teaching position in the Animal Sciences program at the Northern Lights College in Dawson Creek, BC. He also became the head of the Agriculture Department at the college. In addition, he and his family operated a grain farm and cow-calf operation until 1983. After a major fire urged them to move south for a short term in China Valley near Chase, BC, John and his son bought a property in Pritchard near Kamloops, BC and ran a Feedlot and Hay operation until John’s retirement in 1999. Over the years, John kept up with the latest technology regarding agriculture, loved to travel, oil painting and spending time with his family. He was involved on many School, Bank Advisory, and Livestock Boards. He also faithfully served as a Scout Leader, Sunday school teacher, church board member, and with The Gideons International.

Roy was predeceased by his parents, Alvin and Ida; his sister, Louise; and his brother, Eldwin. Roy was born in Salmon Arm on November 17, 1937 and remained there until his marriage. He was dedicated to his family and took pride in maintaining relationships with his relatives and friends throughout the years. He loved travelling with Inge in their motorhome to the Bluegrass music festivals around Western Canada, enjoyed meeting friends and attending dances at the Army & Navy as well as the Legions. He especially looked forward to camping trips with his grandchildren and loved spending summers around the Shuswap and Okanagan Lakes. After a lifetime career with CP Rail in Revelstoke and Kamloops, Roy enjoyed a long retirement when he left the job at age 57. A Celebration of Life will be held on Saturday, January 14th, 2017 at 2:00 pm at Pleasant Valley Funeral Home, 4303 Pleasant Valley Road in Vernon, BC. A reception will follow in the tea room.

Allan Douglas Burroughs It is with great sadness that the family of Allan Douglas Burroughs announces his passing at Hendrix Lake, BC on December 20, 2016. Allan was born on April 5, 1966 in Burnaby, BC, the youngest of three children, to parents Mary L. Burroughs and Thomas (Jim) Burroughs (deceased December 2014). He also leaves to mourn his sister Gwen Schaffer (David) of Kamloops and brother Leonard (Len) Burroughs of 100 Mile House, daughter Ashley Burroughs of West Kelowna (Westbank), BC and Alexandria Burroughs of Kamloops, BC. Although Allan had many struggles throughout the years, he had finally managed to find a peaceful place in his life for the past few years, living in the Cariboo country that he so loved, where he could work on his beloved computers while enjoying nature. Allan was an accomplished computer technician, having almost completed his diploma training at TRU in Kamloops. As well, he completed his Automotive Technician training at TRU. He was well known in Kamloops for his savvy computer skills. His many friends and acquaintances from 100 Mile House, Kamloops and around the world will certainly miss his intelligence, wit, charm and beautiful smile. May he finally have found his peace. Allan will be interred at a later date with his beloved niece Andrea in the 100 Mile House, BC Cemetery.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Jean Karen Sheeley On Christmas Eve 2016, the very gentle and kind soul of Jean Sheeley, unexpectedly took flight from this physical world. She was the loving mother of Laurie (Rob Kitamura), Jen and Patrick (Stephanie Bonn) and a tremendous grandmother to Olivia and Charlie (Jen) and Ben and Joe (Laurie). Jean lost her husband Carl Sheeley two years ago after 49 years of marriage and it is hoped that she has now joined him somewhere for a long awaited reunion. Jean was born in Gretna, Manitoba and was the eldest of five siblings. She and her family moved to Penticton in 1956 where she graduated from Pen High in 1960. Despite a difficult childhood, Jean grew into an extraordinarily loving and kind hearted person. She found joy, connection and comfort in music, earning her Grade 12 in piano and developing a life long love of Elvis. Music was a part of her every day life. Jean’s biggest passion was children and she became a Kindergarten teacher after receiving her teaching certificate from Victoria College (UVIC) with the highest recommendation. When Carl and Jean met, it was love at first site. They were inseparable and after marrying, worked together in Reid Lake, BC in a one room school house. They later moved to Port Coquitlam where they started their family and then moved to Kamloops in 1975. Together Jean and Carl raised their three children almost entirely in the Westsyde community. Jean was a devoted stay at home mom for many years and was the ultimate influence of loving kindness and wisdom through her parenting. It was indeed her life’s work. As her kids grew up, Jean took a job with the Hudson’s Bay Company where she remained for 25+ years. She loved the daily interactions with all walks of this community and came to be known somewhat of an iconic figure at The Bay.
Bernadette Anne Beesley
Jean’s glory years began in 2001 with the birth of her first grandchild Olivia. Jean loved babies in an intensely special way and had an innate capacity to bond with her grandchildren from their very first day through affection, song, ritual and teaching. She was the first to meet each of her grand babies and thrived on being a grandmother. Together, she and Carl were an exceptional grand-parenting tag team who devoted themselves to all four of their grand-kids. She will be deeply mourned by her four great loves and her influence and character will continue to be embodied in Olivia’s compassionate heart, Ben’s musical abilities, Charlie’s conversational skills and Joe’s sweet and gentle nature.
January 25, 1956 – December 1, 2016
Bernadette Beesley passed away peacefully with family by her side on December 1, 2016 at Royal Inland Hospital. She is predeceased by her parents Dr. Bernard and Marguerite Beesley. Bernadette is survived by her sons Derrick and Mark Harrison and siblings Cecelia (Tom) Burns, MaryMarguerite (Kirk) Johnstone, Tom Beesley, Maureen (Garry) Reynolds, Alan (Joanne) Beesley and Kathleen (Phil) Bennett. She also leaves behind many nieces, nephews, grand nieces and grand nephews. Bernadette had a zest for life and the gift to make people laugh. She had a flair for all aspects of theatre, including acting, make-up, costuming, puppetry with children and storytelling. Bernie loved singing, especially around campfires at the family cabin. After high school, Bernadette graduated as an LPN from Malaspina College and worked at Royal Inland Hospital for over ten years. Her passion was working on Paediatrics. She was also active in the Kamloops Hospital Employees Union. In 1990 increasing mobility issues resulted in her giving up her nursing career.
Jean was a passionate baseball fan (go Jays!) and had a deep love for all of her family pets through the years. They brought her comfort and companionship. She enjoyed spending time at the cabin at the Shuswap, watching her family grow and thrive through the decades. Finally, because of Jean’s kind heart and ceaseless concern for others, she had deep and meaningful relationships with her friends and family. Her gift was that of connection and anyone lucky to spend 1 to 1 time or a telephone call with her will remember this about her. Jean always had an ear for anyone with a trouble and brought a warm reassurance to those to whom she listened. She will leave a void in the lives of many.
Despite limited mobility, she was a dedicated volunteer in many areas including Scouting as a Beaver leader and District Commissioner, sharing her knowledge and love of animals at the Shuswap Lake Provincial Park Nature House. She volunteered at A.E. Perry School, Operation Red Nose, KIBIT hockey and the 2011 Canada Games. Bernie’s health slowly declined over the last number of years and despite all her troubles, she persevered. The family thanks all her friends for their support over the years. We wish to thank the staff at King Street Medical, Royal Inland Hospital and especially the ICU staff who showed such compassion and care for our sister Bernie.
Special thanks to Sheri Kupser for being a wonderfully caring, close companion during this past year.
A Funeral Mass will be celebrated by Father Fred Weisbeck on Saturday, January 21, 2017 at 10:30 am at Holy Family Parish, 2797 Sunset Drive, Kamloops, BC V2C 4K7.
A Service will take place on Saturday, January 21, 2017 at 1:00 pm at St. Paul’s Anglican Cathedral.
In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the RIH Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1 in memory of Bernadette would be appreciated.
For those who wish, memorial donations may be made to the local SPCA chapter in Jean’s name.

TURN AGAIN TO LIFE MARY LEE HALL
If I should die and leave you here a while, be not like others sore undone, who keep long vigil by the silent dust. For my sake turn again to life and smile, nerving thy heart and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine. Complete these dear unfinished tasks of mine and I perchance may therein comfort you.

In 1953, Gordon signed with the Canadian Army and was stationed in Korea and Japan working for the British Embassy as their driver. He received an honourable discharge in May 1956. Gordon met Ida, the love of his life, in Pinantan, B.C. in the fall of 1956. Despite warnings of ranchers with diamond rings in their pockets, Ida and Gordon were married on March 2, 1957. Soon to follow were their two sons Joe and George. It was during this time that Gordon built a
Petronilla (Gartner) Pedrotti
successful trucking company which continued for over 40 years. Gordon was a people person. His outgoing personality touched many people in many ways. First and foremost he enjoyed spending time with family and friends. The dynamic duo of Gordon and Ed Kashluba entertained everywhere they went. People would start laughing before they went through the door. Gordon enjoyed hunting, fishing and travelling. Gordon and Ida spent many winters in Hawaii with family and friends. Gordon’s passing has left a tremendous void in our lives. The family would like to thank all the health care professionals that took care of Gordon during his lengthy illness.

Her Journey’s Just Begun by E. Brenneman
Don’t think of her as gone away, Her journey’s just begun. Life holds so many facets, This earth is only one. Just think of her as resting, From the sorrows and the tears, In a place of warmth and comfort, Where there are no days and years. Think how she must be wishing, That we could know today, How nothing but our sadness, Can really pass away. And think of her as living, In the hearts of those she touched, For nothing loved is ever lost; And she was loved so much.
The More You Give The more you give, The more you get, The more you laugh, The less you fret. The more you do unselfishly. The more you live abundantly. The more of everything you share, The more you’ll always have to spare. The more you love, the more you’ll find, That life is good and friends are kind. For only what we give away, Enriches us from day to day. Teresa PierceyGates
