Spray spurs call for better security ADAM WILLIAMS

A Kamloops woman wants more security at the downtown library after getting treated for pepper spray in her eyes. Teresa Lomax, a former School District 73 librarian, was making her regular visit to the TNRD library a week ago today, shortly after a man had been pepper-sprayed on the nearby side-

walk. Mounties were called to the incident at Victoria Street and Fifth Avenue and paramedics washed the victim’s eyes out before letting him go. For Lomax, however, the ordeal was just beginning. She, too, had to be treated by paramedics after some of the pepper spray made its way into her eyes. Lomax believes the substance was on her hands after she grabbed the door handle of the TNRD Building. See TNRD, A4

Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers will issue a clarification at today’s council meeting, after he was told by staff statements that made about a proposed rezoning would disqualify him from attending the public hearing on the property. Cavers told KTW yesterday he couldn’t speak further to the issue, noting there had been a legal opinion given to the city on his comments. Last week, Cavers called a proposed single-family subdivision at 200 Hudson’s Ridge Blvd. “urban sprawl” and said the project is too close to Kenna Cartwright Park. Councillors were considering whether to hold a public hearing on the property, which

True Consulting has applied to have rezoned from agricultural to single-family residential, to make way for 22 to 24 homes. Cavers was told by city staff that if he couldn’t go into the hearing willing to hear arguments from all sides with an open mind, he could not attend. City CAO David Trawin said the decision is based on concerns the city could be open to legal challenge if councillors are attending public hearings with their minds made up. “The courts recognize that certain councillors, you have your own opinions and viewpoints and philosophical things in your mind,” Trawin said. “But that said, you still have to have an open mind and be capable of persuasion
from information that you got at a public hearing.” Trawin said the comments also raised questions about whether Cavers can be impartial on other rezoning files that could potentially be considered urban sprawl. But he believes that was unintentional, noting Cavers told KTW he voted against the Hudson’s Ridge project in earlier stages and wanted to remain consistent. Deputy corporate officer Linda Campbell said councillors are warned in their code of conduct materials not to create a perception the rules are being made up, or are different for various applicants who come to city hall, because it can lead to court challenges. The Hudson’s Ridge public hearing is set for Jan. 31.

Liberals defend political donation rules CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
KGHM Ajax, a law firm and a number of construction companies were among purchasers of tickets to a fundraising dinner held by local Liberals on May 27, 2016. The revelations are contained in the B.C. Liberal Party’s disclosure of a system that is being criticized by the NDP and which was highlighted in a recent New York Times story that called the province “The Wild West of Political Cash.” Premier Christy Clark and cabinet ministers, including Transportation Minister and Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone, attend fundraisers where individuals and corporations pay for access. Under pressure, Clark on Friday announced she will no longer accept an annual $50,000 stipend from the party on top of her $195,000 salary as premier. “On the doorstep, this is something everybody is talking about now,” said Barb Nederpel, the NDP candidate for KamloopsNorth Thompson. The B.C. Liberal Party revealed this month it raised about $12 million in 2016, two-thirds of that from corporate donors. An analysis of that list found local companies gave generously at the event held by
Stone and Kamloops-North Thompson MLA Terry Lake. KGHM Ajax donated $2,000. “I’d assume it was probably one of our big fundraisers, the annual fundraiser we do,” Stone told KTW of the donation from the mining company seeking approval of its environmental permit for an open-pit copper and gold mine immediately south of the city. Other donors on that same date — donations were entered into the books on June 17 — included: - Fulton and Co. law office, $2,000; - Gateway Casinos and Entertainment Ltd., $4,000; - Gillespie and Co. law offices, $2,000; - Horizon North Manufacturing, $800; - Kami Cabs, $2,000; - Mary McGregor Law Corp., $2,000; - MJB Management Corp. law offices, $2,400; - Plainsman Builders Inc., $2,000; - Riverland Motel Ltd., $2,000; - Summit Electric, $2,000; - Rivershore Chrysler, $800; - Urban Systems, $2,000; - VSA Highway Maintenance, $1,200; - Acres Enterprises, $2,000; - Arrow Transportation, $2,000; - Aspen Planers, $5,150; - Emcon Services, $1,000;
At least four of those firms do business directly with the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure. “They’re concerned about the perception that when corporations and unions are donating, there’s going to be some benefit that comes out of their donation,” Nederpel said. “People deserve better than that. They need to have faith in their government.” But Stone said the party is acting within the rules. “There are very strict limits on how much you can spend and there are very strict requirements on reporting and transparency,” he said, arguing his party’s new “real-time reporting” gives public accountability. A similar 500-person event, where tickets are sold to companies for $200 a plate, is scheduled for March. Dan Hines, the Green candidate for Kamloops-North Thompson, noted his own party’s strict self-imposed ban on union or corporate donations. He said while the NDP is campaigning for change, it continues to accept corporate and union donations. “No company, no union, would give any money to a political party that didn’t come with a return on investment,” Hines said. “That means policies in their favour.”

“I was just standing there and I rubbed my eye. I had no idea what I had done, but I had this excruciating pain, burning — it was brutal. Nothing I had ever experienced before,” Lomax said. It was about 45 minutes before she was able to fully open her eyes. “The whole library, everyone was coughing and they were letting people out another entrance because this happened right at the entranceway,” Lomax said. “It was quite chaotic.” The experience has the 64-year-old wondering if there’s not more that can be done to make the downtown building, which houses the library, Kamloops Art Gallery and TNRD headquarters, more safe for its patrons. She also questioned the decision to keep the building open to the public after the pepper spray was used and said there didn’t seem to be an authority figure present to manage the situation. “I’ve always had concerns about that place, for years now,” Lomax said. She visits the library between three and four times a week and
noted she was greeted by first responders again on Thursday night as she left the building. “I’ve always felt that they need two security guards,” she said. “There should be one security guard at that entranceway at all times. The bathrooms, I go there a lot and I see a lot and it’s a really popular place to shoot up.” The TNRD has made attempts to deter loiterers from gathering in front of the building’s main doors. The regional district also acknowledged receiving complaints about drug activity in the area. In the spring of 2016, after consulting with Kamloops RCMP, the TNRD installed a speaker near the entrance, pumping classical music into the plaza in a bid to deter loitering by those involved in sketchy activities. “You’d have a group of people that might stick around there for 20 minutes, half an hour, or larger groups potentially for a few minutes,” TNRD CAO Sukh Gill told KTW at the time. “It wasn’t all that inviting for patrons of the art gallery or the regional district or the library, and we were starting to get feedback that it wasn’t overly kind in that sense.” Contacted following the
pepper-spray incident, Ron Storie, the TNRD’s director of community services, said the district is satisfied with its level of security and the results it has seen from the classical-music implementation. “I think every little bit helps. We work with the RCMP, as well as our security provider — it’s a joint effort,” he said. “I don’t think it’s any different than any other place of business along here. I don’t think there’s any vendor in Kamloops that has a silver bullet on this one.” Lomax said she will continue to visit the library, but doesn’t feel completely safe there. In her opinion, more needs to be done. “The classical music is beautiful — I love it and I hope they keep it up. The sign, at first, was good,” she said. “But it’s just a Band-Aid solution. We need to feel safe at the local library.” But, as Storie said, it’s not as simple as just forcing people to leave the plaza in front of the building entrance — especially if they’re not doing anything illegal. “What are you asking people to move on for?” he said. “Unless they’re causing us damage, it’s just something we try not to do.”

Adult or youth life term? CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
The Crown wants a Salmon Arm man who shot a romantic rival to death in an elementary schoolyard handed an adult life sentence. The man, who cannot be named under provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, was convicted of first-degree murder in June by a B.C. Supreme Court jury. His identity will become public if he is handed an adult sentence. Now 25, the man was 16 when he shot and killed Tyler Myers in the schoolyard of Salmon Arm’s Bastion elementary on Nov. 21, 2008. His sentencing hearing began yesterday in a packed courtroom in Kamloops. After lunch, the hearing was moved to a larger room to accommodate the gallery. Court heard the killer and his then-girlfriend, Monica Sikorski, plotted to kill Myers. Both men were involved in romantic relationships with Sikorski, who was 17 at the time. She pleaded guilty in November to second-degree murder and was handed an adult life sentence, making her name public. Sikorski and the male killer arranged to lure Myers to the schoolyard, where the male killer waited with a rifle in a stand of trees. At trial, the male killer claimed he was hoping only to scare Myers. When he hit Myers with his first shot, he claimed, he panicked and fired two more bullets — including one to the back of the head — at the injured man. Sikorski and the male killer then rifled through Myers’ pockets to make the slaying look like a drug deal gone bad, court heard. They were interviewed by police the following day, but both denied any involvement in Myers’ death. They were arrested in November 2012 at the conclusion of an RCMP Mr. Big undercover sting targeting Sikorski. Undercover Mounties posing as gangsters told Sikorski police were building a case against her relating to Myers’ death. She then revealed details of the slaying to them in an effort to have the supposed gangsters pin the murder on a fall guy. The male killer met with Sikorski and an undercover Mountie on Oct. 29, 2012, and admitted his involvement. He was arrested a week later.
Court heard a psychiatrist found the killer and Sikorski “colluded with each other.” The doctor also said Myers’ murder required “significant planning” and “intention.” In seeking a life sentence for the male killer, Crown prosecutor Evan Goulet said the jury clearly did not buy the killer’s story — as was seen in the jury’s first-degree murder guilty verdict. “He almost got away with murder,” Goulet said. “He was very aware of what he was doing. Had it not been for the efforts of the RCMP, he may well have gotten away with it. “This was not just one step or one bad decision. He demonstrated a resolve to ensure this was done. He took a shot that went directly into the back of Mr. Myers’ head while he was laying on the ground. For an offence of this nature with these facts, the only way to hold [the killer] accountable is to impose an adult sentence.” An adult life sentence would carry with it a 10-year period of parole ineligibility, but the killer will remain under the supervision of parole officers for the rest of his life. If sentenced as a youth, the maximum sentence will be six years behind bars, followed by a fouryear period of supervision in the community. Defence lawyer Donna Turko asked B.C. Supreme Court Justice Sheri Donegan to sentence the killer as a youth, in part to avoid having him become “institutionalized” — like young offenders can be in adult penitentiaries. “They haven’t had as much life experience and they’re more susceptible to be influenced by men who are 50, 60, 70 years old,” Turko said. “It is the punishment that will affect [the killer] maybe more negatively than if we went the youth route.” Turko suggested the killer was addicted to the affection of Sikorski. “It’s no different than a drug seeker,” she said. “He was constantly seeking Monica.” The killer admitted to being the trigger man at the start of his B.C. Supreme Court trial, pleading guilty to second-degree murder. Prosecutors, however, went ahead with the trial on a charge of first-degree murder and were ultimately successful. A date for the killer’s sentencing had not been set as of KTW’s press deadline, but the sentencing hearing is slated to continue today.

Teachers want two-week spring break retained DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
David Komljenovic doesn’t want to see the KamloopsThompson board of education do away with a two-week spring break. The president of the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA) said it’s something his union was asking for back in 2007 and was glad to see it attached to their contract three years ago as a memorandum of understanding. At that time, the KTTA raised concerns about instructional time and agreed to work a slightly longer day to make up for the extra week off. Teachers voted 92 per cent in favour of changing their collective agreement for a three-year pilot project consisting of a twoweek spring break.
On January 25, I’m inviting everyone over. JAMES MACAULEY, AT CHARTWELL SINCE 2011. If you’re like James, you never miss an opportunity to get together with friends and have fun. That’s why you’re all invited to our Robbie Burns event. Join us and learn why our residents feel so at home at Chartwell. CHARTWELL.COM
Online petitions have been created in response to the spring break debate. A petition in favour of a one-week break is here: tinyurl.com/z3wur63. A petition in favour of a two-week break is here: tinyurl.com/z2zs2ro Komljenovic said the concerns about instructional time remain and are heightened by the fact many teachers have larger classrooms as the district adjusts to an increase in enrolment. He said the break is a welcome respite for teachers and students. Last week in a 4-3 vote, trustees decided to return to a oneweek break in March, beginning next year. However, it’s possible the issue will be revisited. Regulations require the school calendar be posted for 30 days for input before it is
submitted to the Ministry of Education. If there is feedback voicing opposition to the decision, trustees will have to consider it, according to board chair Meghan Wade. She was one of three trustees who voted to maintain the two-week period, along with Joe Small and Joan Cowden. Vice-chair Gerald Watson and trustees Rhonda Kershaw, Cara McKelvey and Kathleen Karpuk voted against continuing with two weeks. There are two online petitions about the subject, one in favour of a two-week break and one promoting the return to a one-week vacation. Komljenovic said if the twoweek break is not included in the upcoming calendar, he’ll be pushing for it when contract talks with the teachers’ union begin again in 2019.
More classroom hires in SD73 Postings are expected this week for additional teaching staff in the KamloopsThompson school district, hirings that will flow from the $50 million the provincial government injected into education earlier this month. The district received $1.37 million to add teaching staff and will be using it to add to all secondary schools and 14 elementary schools. Once that phase is complete, another 13 schools will be con-
sidered if any money remains. The plan is the result of discussions between the district administration and the Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association (KTTA). Board chair Meghan Wade said she is happy with the decisions reached, a sentiment echoed by KTTA president David Komljenovic. The plan includes: Secondary schools: • Brocklehurst Middle, 1.7 fulltime equivalent
positions (FTE); • Barriere, .4 FTE; • NorKam Senior, Valleyview, South Kamloops, Sahali, Kamloops School of the Arts and Westsyde, .5 FTE; • Chase, Clearwater, Logan Lake and Twin Rivers Education Centre, .2 FTE. Elementary schools: • Parkcrest, South Sahali, 1.5 FTE; • David Thompson, Beattie, Marion Schilling, RL Clemitson, Kay Bingham, Arthur Hatton, Raft River and
AE Perry, 1 FTE; • Haldane, .8 FTE; • Summit, Aberdeen and Juniper Ridge, .6 FTE. Phase 2 schools that will be reviewed after the initial hirings include Arthur Stevenson, Barriere, Dallas, Dufferin, Lloyd George, Logan Lake, McGowan Park, Pacific Way, Rayleigh, Sun Peaks and Westmount elementaries, as well as Bert Edwards Science and Technology School and Kamloops School of the Arts.

Parents of children in schools in the Kamloops-Thompson district are invited to an open house to discuss how they want to be informed of their kids’ performance in class. The Monday, Jan. 30, open house — which will include discussion on the future of report cards — is part of the three-year implementation of B.C.’s new curriculum. Ministry of Education staff and school district officials will be at the Henry Grube Education Centre, (245 Kitchener Cres., at the north end of Overlanders Bridge) to talk about student progress reporting in kindergarten to Grade 9 classrooms. The meeting will the eighth
of 11 being held throughout the province. Parents can drop in to the casual open house between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. to share their
ideas on student reporting and to learn more about the new curriculum. A brainstorming workshop will take place from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., giving parents the opportunity to participate in small group sessions discussing their thoughts in greater detail. While this public meeting will primarily be of interest to parents of kindergarten to Grade 9 students, everybody is welcome to attend. Parents unable to attend the meeting can still learn about the process and share their thoughts online until Feb. 28 at http:// engage.gov.bc.ca/yourkidsprogress.

Robertsons’ trial delayed to June A couple together facing more than 20 criminal charges for weapons and stolen property offences will go to trial in June The trial for Jason and Sarah Robertson was originally scheduled to begin this week. It was adjourned yesterday due to scheduling problems. Mounties raided the couple’s home in May 2014, seizing firearms, drugs and electronics. Police targeted the home
based on tips that Jason Robertson was associated with a Prince George-based gang known as The Crew and was dealing in kilogram-level quantities of cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin. Using a sophisticated audioand video-recording system in the home, defence lawyers alleged during a pre-trial hearing that officers undermined the couple’s rights under the Charter
of Rights and Freedoms when they conducted the search. After the hearing, Justice Jeanne Watchuk ruled RCMP had reasonable grounds under the search warrant to make many of the seizures. The Crown acknowledged, however, that police made some errors in the search and failed to give Sarah Robertson a right to speak to a lawyer before asking her questions.

CHIMERA THEATRE PRESENTS
MOCKUS BY GEORGE M. JOHNSON
Teichrieb’s prelim begins tomorrow The preliminary inquiry of a Kamloops man accused of beating a teen into a coma in June will begin tomorrow with the accused nowhere to be seen. A judge last week gave permission to Kristopher Teichrieb’s lawyers to have the hearing take place without the 39-year-old being present. Teichrieb is facing charges of attempted murder and aggravated assault stemming from allegations he used a baseball bat to beat 18-year-old Jessie Simpson into unconsciousness. Kristopher Teichrieb (above) and Simpson, who has since turned 19, has been in a coma since the assault, which took place in Brocklehurst in the early-morning hours Jessie Simpson (below). of June 19. Teichrieb was arrested within minutes of the attack and has been in custody since. He is behind bars in a provincial prison in the Lower Mainland. Teichrieb’s preliminary inquiry is slated to begin in Kamloops provincial court. Preliminary inquiries are hearings after which a judge determines whether there is enough evidence for charges to proceed to trial.

ETHICS ARE NOT IN A GREY AREA
P
eople should not have to dole out large amounts of cash to have access to our country’s politicians. And, outside of party fundraisers, people do generally have access to them — even as far up as the prime minister. Canada’s prime minister is in hot water over alleged ethical improprieties over his trip to the Bahamas. This is on top of further questions surrounding apparent cashfor-access events that would have seen large amounts of money paid by potential lobbyists to see the PM. Justin Trudeau has said, in media reports, he is willing to stand before an ethics expert in these cases. Whether Trudeau crossed ethical lines or not, our elected officials must be held to a higher standard when it comes to questions surrounding potential conflicts, influencepeddling or other alleged ethical breaches. As politicians, those individuals should also want to adhere to those higher standards. If they don’t, then they have no business being in office. A review of this country’s ethical guidelines when it comes to our leaders and lobbyists is probably long overdue — and a change is needed in policy and law to ensure politicians live up to them or face severe consequences. While fundraisers seem to be standard operating procedure for all political parties, using public office to further those coffers should send up red flags to observers. It’s time politicians demonstrated how they can be better at ethics than many of us necessarily have to be.

The cost of flu fallacies
H
ospitals around B.C. are struggling with the annual influx of influenza sufferers, many of whom are making matters worse for everyone by crowding into emergency waiting rooms. In this information age, there are so many misconceptions around seasonal influenza that it’s hard to know where to start. In most cases, there is no cure or prescribed treatment that can be offered at hospitals or clinics. Frail elderly people and those with chronic conditions or secondary infections may need medical support. The rest of us should learn to prevent contact, treat ourselves and avoid spreading these fast-mutating viruses around. Many people still don’t understand what “the flu” is. No, it’s not generally associated with throwing up, contrary to every statement by every hockey coach who has ever spoken on TV. (Professional athletes and coaches have medical doctors on staff, but apparently they never listen to them.) Influenza is a respiratory illness with chest and nasal congestion, which can last for weeks. Young children may vomit, often because they can’t control their coughing. I won’t go into all the nonsense people hear about the flu vaccine. Suffice it to say, it is the best current effort of modern medicine. This year’s vaccine targets the A/California, A/Hong Kong, B/Brisbane and B/Phuket strains, which emerged globally last year as the vaccine formula
TOM FLETCHER
Our Man In
VICTORIA was finalized. It’s not perfect, but little in science is. “Flu shot didn’t work. My kids are throwing up,” is a classic comment from a parent who really should do some studying. A good place to start would be a call to the B.C. Nurseline, 8-1-1, for reliable non-emergency health advice, available around the clock. The kids more likely have what is erroneously called “stomach flu” or, to be accurate, norovirus. This is another contagious winter malady, featuring diarrhea as well as vomiting. No, there’s no cure for that waiting at the ER either. It’s particularly dangerous in hospitals and care homes, where quarantine and intensive cleaning are the main responses. Taking virus-infected people to hospitals or clinics unnecessarily has the added impact of exposing medical personnel, who are already overworked at this time of year. There was a story last week about a medical clinic in Pemberton, where doctors posted a letter on the door calling on employers to get a clue.
“People seeking sick notes — who otherwise wouldn’t see a doctor — end up in physicians’ offices, walk-in clinics and emergency department waiting rooms,” it said. “There, they may spread germs to pregnant women, frail elderly people, cancer patients and babies — all of whom are vulnerable to communicable diseases.” They warn that “sick note” visits are not covered by B.C.’s Medical Services Plan. If local employers continue to demand sick notes, the clinic will invoice them $50 per visit, which is “standard practice for nonmedically necessary services for third-party organizations.” The doctors offer some advice that may sound familiar: “In most cases, the best remedy for a patient with an isolated illness (such as a gastrointestinal virus, influenza or a common cold) is to stay home, rest and drink fluids.” Remember the common cold? It’s technically called rhinovirus and it also changes as it spreads through the population as a generally milder version of influenza. People don’t talk much about getting colds any more. Now everything tends to be called the flu. One last point: the contagious period for influenza begins when you catch it, a couple of days before you know you’re sick and extends for about five days after symptoms emerge. tfletcher@blackpress.ca Twitter: @tomfletcherbc

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
TEACHERS SHOW SENSE OF ENTITLEMENT
Editor: Re: Kamloops-Thompson Teachers’ Association president David Komljenovic says teachers need a two-week spring break (‘Kamloops teachers’ union wants two-week spring break retained’): As a standard response, after the duly elected board of education for School District 73 decided to return to a one-week spring break for next year’s school calendar, Komljenovic, in denouncing the decision, continued to demonstrate that sense of entitlement owed teachers. I know there are many very dedicated and passionate teachers in our school system, teachers who put many volunteer hours into the education of students both during school hours and afterwards.
I also know that, after 40 years in the work force, most equally passionate and dedicated employees contribute their own time to employers or volunteer in the community. This extra effort is what creates success. So, let’s analyze who needs the break. According to the school calendar regulations, school boards must offer during the 2016/2017 school calendar the following instructional class hours: 848 hours for kindergarten, 873 hours for grades 1 to 7 and 947 hours for grades 8 to 12. With 365 days in a calendar year, less 52 weekends, statutory holidays and breaks for Christmas, Easter and summer, the number of instructional days is somewhere around 170-plus days per year. That represents less than 50 per cent of the
total number of days in a year and, for high school instructors, about 5.5 hours for each instructional day. I fully recognize that, outside these numbers, teachers prepare lesson plans, mark exams and contribute on a volunteer basis to sports, arts and students in general. For that extra work, I applaud teachers. On the other side of the ledger, most families have two working parents and there are many single parents working hard to support their children. A similar analysis as above would conclude they work well over 50 per cent of the days in a year. So, please stop asking me to drink the Kool-Aid. Rick Sommer Kamloops
AMERICA A BULLY WHEN IT COMES TO TRADE
Editor: Re: KTW story of Jan. 20 (‘Stone defends B.C. wine in trade battle’): American wine producers claim it is not fair that only B.C. wine be allowed for sale on grocery store shelves. Obviously, the amount of American wine in our government and private liquor stores does not
generate enough profit for them. How many Fred Meyer outlets and other grocery stores say in Washington state sell Canadian wine? It would be interesting to find out. This sounds like a petulant child stamping its feet to get what it wants. When I was growing up, that child would find
it hard to sit down the next day for that behaviour. B.C. needs to stand firm on this issue. The fact the United States has gone crying to the World Trade Organization says to me the country has more money than sense. As usual, America is being a big bully. We could boycott
California wine, but then we would be as childish as them. President Donald Trump has been talking about trade embargoes and increasing the cost of selling to the U.S. On the other hand, he is also saying he will increase productivity in American products, then expect the world to buy
the excess. This tells me his gate swings one way. We Canadians had better stand our ground, not only on this issue, but on everything we hold dear in our country. Otherwise, we are in for a rocky road during the next four years. Viki Bentley Kamloops
SUPPORT THE MARCHERS, GETTING USED TO IT NOT AN OPTION Editor: Re: Axel Montaner’s letter of Jan. 20 (‘Trump now president, better get used to it’): Getting used to Donald Trump as U.S. president is accepting and,
even worse, normalizing misogyny, lying, bullying and ignorance. If “lese-majeste” is a crime of speaking against the dignity of a nation’s leader, I ask: what dignity? Instead of getting used to it, I
support the half-million marchers in Washington, D.C., and the hundreds of thousand others in the U.S. and around the world who are not going to get used to it (kudos to Kamloops for its march
this past Saturday). With Kevin O’Leary looming over this country, getting used to it is not an option. Jeanine Parker Kamloops

Former Mountie gets conditional sentence STAFF REPORTER

Despite having pleaded guilty to cocaine possession, a former Kamloops police officer will not have a criminal record — if she keeps
her nose clean for 12 months. Randi Love was handed a conditional discharge with a yearlong probation term on Friday, less than two weeks after she entered a guilty plea to a single count of pos-

Police are on the hunt for a mail thief after an Aberdeen apartment building was broken into this week. Linda Eyzenga, resident manager at Glynnwood Terrace on Hugh Allan Drive, said video surveillance shows a man approaching the building at about 2 a.m. on Thursday, Jan. 19. “A suspect we have on camera pried open the front door with a crowbar,” she said. “Within no time, he was in.” Eyzenga said the video shows the burglar scoping out a hallway to make sure he was alone before going to work on the mailboxes with a second crowbar. “He then decided to take every person’s mail,” she said. “He left the fliers.” Eyzenga said the video shows the thief stuffing his loot into a plastic bag before fleeing in a darkcoloured SUV. After the theft was discovered, Eyzenga called police. “It looks like they have an idea who this could be,” she said. “Especially by the way he did the crime, they have an idea.” Anybody with information on the identity of the thief is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477.

Geoffrey Hanks of South Kamloops secondary credits his busy extra-curricular activity to the fact he loves what he does.
South Kam’s Hanks aiming for $100K scholarship DALE BASS
STAFF REPORTER
dale@kamloopsthisweek.com
In the nothing ventured, nothing gained school of thought, Geoffrey Hanks decided he would apply for a Loran Scholars Foundation scholarship. The South Kamloops secondary student heard of the fouryear package, valued at $100,000, during a meeting for graduating students where scholarships and bursaries they might consider were being discussed. The first hurdle he faced was being approved by his school to be a nominee, which is required by the 29-year-old national organization. That was obtained and he joined a group of more than 4,400 Canadian high school students who applied for the scholarship. Geoffrey made it through the first cull that took that number down to 84 finalists. Next month, he will head to Toronto to learn if he is one of the 32 the foundation will select to receive the stipend, tuition waivers, mentorship, summer internship funding and the opportunity to take part in retreats and forums. Geoffrey is guaranteed at least a $3,000 finalist award just by getting this far in the process. The foundation looks for more than academic success; it seeks out what it calls the country’s next generation of leaders, young people who contribute to their communities and want to make positive change. “They’re looking for who you
are, seeing if you have grit and integrity, if you’re well grounded and driven, looking to make a difference,” Geoffrey said, noting those are characteristics he believes he possesses. A bilingual Kamloopsian who attended Lloyd George elementary, he has always been on the honour roll, but is also busy outside of school. He is both a student and a volunteer instructor at the Aberdeen Judo Academy and headed to the national competition in that sport in May in Calgary. He plays on a recreational soccer team in Kamloops and on another team in Vancouver. He plays oboe in the school band, is studying for his Grade 10 piano exam and sings. Geoffrey is a member of his school’s Link crew, which organizes events, chair of the school’s music council and a member of its global awareness club. He also does peer tutoring. Geoffrey credits his multifaceted involvement not to parental pressure — his piano interest came while he watched his sister’s lessons — but because he and his three siblings “love to do what we do.” He is looking at studying engineering and is considering Queens or Waterloo universities in Ontario or, closer to home, the University of British Columbia. Scholars must attend one of the 26 post-secondary institutions that partner with the Loran Foundation. Thompson Rivers University is not one of them.
Geoffrey has chosen engineering because there are so many career paths he could follow with that background. The Loran Scholars Foundation was created by Robert Cluett, an English professor at York University. An endowment fund was created to provide the scholarships and individuals, companies and other foundations continue to donate to it. Volunteers assess and interview the candidates. Participating universities waive tuition fees for the scholars and designate a staff member who will be the point of contact for the scholars during their undergraduate studies. The name Loran derives from long-range aid to navigation, a concept the foundation uses that looks at character values, service and leadership to determine suitability for the scholarship. The foundation has 450 alumni, many still in school in graduate studies. Nineteen went on to become Rhodes scholars. Among alumni are Narian Nemec, a senior research scientist in advanced supercomputing with NASA; Mato Mildenberger, a member of a team of researchers who have produced an important study on Canadians’ perceptions of climate change; and Damon Ramsey, CEO of Input Health, which has created digital health options from online booking to connecting with patients. Ramsay was last year named to B.C. Magazine’s Top 30 under 30.
Our research team is working on some of the latest potential advances in care.
You may qualify to participate in a study and receive: • All study-related medical care at no cost • An MRI and PET scan of the brain at a qualified private clinic • A stipend of $62.00 to the patient and caregiver each per visit to cover expenses • The opportunity to participate in research for yourself and future generations
Patients who could benefit should: • Have mild memory loss (no prior diagnosis required) • Be in general good health • Have a study partner (partner should see patient at least 10 hours per week)

$4.5-million award stemming from crash near Kamloops THE CANADIAN PRESS
ASK A PET EXPERT
An Edmonton woman who was left a paraplegic following a vehicle collision near Kamloops has been awarded $4.5 million in damages. On March 1, 2009, Leslie Warick, 59, was on her way home with her husband on Highway 5 after a ski holiday at Sun Peaks Resort when their vehicle was struck by an oncoming semitrailer that had crossed into their lane. Warick’s husband of 27 years and two friends of the couple who were also in their vehicle were killed. Warick, an operations manager for a public health centre, survived, but suffered injuries to her spinal cord that left her paralyzed from the waist down. In addition to the spinal-cord injury, Warick suffered a perforation of her large and small intestines and damage to her bladder, requiring six surgeries, and fractures of her left wrist and two bones in her left hand. After personal injury claims were settled for an amount not disclosed in a B.C. Supreme Court ruling, a trial was held on the issue of the cost of Warick’s future care, in particular the level of home care she would require. The spinal-cord injury left her

with limited abdominal strength and reduced strength and gripping ability in her left hand. She also suffered a constant buzzing or burning pain from her navel to her knees in addition to phantom pain in her feet. Other health setbacks included problems with her bladder and bowel function, problems with sleeping and lack of sensation of hunger. A report on how Warick’s injuries affected her life found that she had lost her ability to perform many bodily functions, to live in her former family home and to do her former job. “As described in Ms. Warick’s
own evidence, the dependency on her daughter for care and support has created an uncomfortable reversal of their roles,” Justice Terence Schultes said in his ruling on the case. “There is also her severe chronic pain. The overall effect of these losses and changes on her is to produce fluctuating moods and feelings of grief and sorrow.” The $4.5-million award has multiple categories, including approximately $3.1 million for home care, $159,000 for incontinence care, $148,000 for housekeeping, $134,000 for mobility aids and $120,000 for medications.

VANCOUVER — The Federal Court of Appeal has dismissed a legal challenge filed by two First Nations of BC Hydro’s $8.8-billion Site C dam project in northeast British Columbia. The Prophet River First Nation and the West Moberly First Nation appealed a Federal Court judge’s decision to deny their application for a judicial review of the project’s environmental approvals. The aboriginal bands are among those who signed Treaty 8 in 1899, a historic agreement that grants beneficiaries hunting, trapping and fishing rights within treaty territory. Prophet River and West Moberly argued the environmental review process for Site C should have assessed the scope of their treaty rights and determined whether the project infringed them. A panel of three Federal Appeal Court judges issued a unanimous decision yesterday, upholding the earlier ruling, which found the environmental review process was not an appropriate venue to draw conclusions about treaty rights. The process, conducted jointly by the federal and provincial governments, did examine the effects of Site C on aboriginal peoples and the judge ruled the Crown had fulfilled its duty to consult.
Trump pulls U.S. from TPP MIKE BLANCHFIELD
THE CANADIAN PRESS
OTTAWA — Setting itself apart from a neversay-die Japan, Canada resigned itself to the death of the TransPacific Partnership yesterday after U.S. President Donald Trump made good on his promise to pull the United States out of the trade pact. Trump called getting out of the TPP “a great thing for the American workers’’ as he signed an executive order formally removing the U.S. from the controversial 12-country Pacific Rim deal. There was no immediate comment from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau or Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland, who are in Calgary for a two-day cabinet retreat where how best to deal with the Trump team is the main preoccupation. Canada had been taking a wait-and-see approach to the TPP, with the Liberal government launching a sweeping consultation that appeared designed to postpone a decision until the U.S. resolved the question of whether or not to take part. Asked whether the government believes the deal can be salvaged, Freeland spokesman Alex Lawrence would only say, “The agreement cannot enter into force without the United States.’’ Japan, however, continued to cling to the hope there was room to salvage the deal by changing Trump’s mind.
“A TPP without the U.S. would be incredibly difficult, but we do have a window until 2018, when the treaty needs to be ratified,’’ Yoshihide Suga, a top adviser to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, told American broadcaster CNBC. “We believe we still have an opportunity to convince the U.S. about the importance of free trade.’’ Abe has personally met Trump to push the merits of the deal. Japan has also urged fellow TPP countries, including Canada, to push Trump to reconsider. That’s a message the Japanese reinforced earlier this month to the Liberal chairman of the House of Commons foreign affairs committee during his visit to Japan. Japan called on Canada and other countries to ratify the TPP in their respective parliaments “as soon as possible and have everybody on board, and through that have a form of pressure on the American administration,’’ Liberal MP Bob Nault said in a recent interview. Canada has instead told Japan it would like to reopen talks on bilateral trade deal, Nault
said. Japan isn’t reopening any bilateral trade talks with TPP countries because that wouldn’t help it press its case with the new Trump administration. Abe and Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull affirmed their support for the TPP during a Jan. 14 meeting, said Tony Negus, Australia’s high commissioner to Canada. “Both leaders said that it is premature to dismiss the TPP and that some time is needed to gain a clear picture of the new U.S. administration’s trade policy,’’ Negus said in an email prior to yesterday’s order by Trump. After it, Negus would only say he had yet to be told that his government’s position had changed. One Canadian trade expert said Trump’s decision heralds more trouble on trade, including the North American Free Trade Agreement between the U.S., Canada and Mexico. “It reflects a disdain for open markets and liberalized trading arrangements and the manifestation of Mr. Trump’s ‘America First’ policy,’’ Toronto trade lawyer Lawrence
Herman said of the decision. “It signals storm clouds ahead for the NAFTA. Canada needs to be prepared if the U.S. decides to pull the plug on that deal.’’ It remains unclear if Trump would seek individual deals with the 11 other countries in the TPP, a group that includes Canada and represents roughly 13.5 per cent of the global economy, according to World Bank figures. Canada’s trade department said in a study last year that the TPP would generate more than $4 billion in long-term GDP gains for the Canadian economy but would lead to the loss of $5 billion if it did not join the deal. Canada’s participation in the TPP was cemented by the previous Conservative government two weeks before they lost power in the October 2015 federal election. The incoming Liberals affirmed they, too, were ardent free traders, but said they wanted to consult widely before the deal was implemented. The Liberals have also said the TPP would not survive the withdrawal of the U.S.

Forums to focus on marijuana in advance of legalization CAM FORTEMS
STAFF REPORTER
cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
A Thompson Rivers University business professor likens the potential economic opportunity and social change from the legalization of marijuana to the dot.com phenomenon two decades ago. Paul Clark, who teaches in the school of business and eco-
nomics, is behind two community forums that will lead to a formal academic conference in the fall focusing on the future of cannabis. The first is Thursday at 7 p.m. in room IB1020 of the International Building. Those in attendance will hear from a panel including a medical practitioner, city councillor and patient industry representative. The forums
and conference will explore both the recreational and medical markets. “There’s not a lot of occasions where there’s an industry moving from the grey market to being regulated,” Clark said. “I think the cannabis industry will represent a really significant new area of expertise and knowledge.” The federal Liberal government has com-
mitted to legalizing marijuana and has pledged to bring in new legislation next year. A task force released a report last month recommending a minimum age of 19 and plain-package retailing. It is widely thought recreational marijuana will come to market in early 2018. There has been frenetic market activity on the TSX, with cur-
rent licensed medical producers seeing a doubling or tripling of their stock prices. At the same time, entrepreneurs are setting up dispensaries and clinics in anticipation of retailing marijuana. There are at least five such locations in Kamloops. While private liquor store owners and BCGEU have lobbied for the right to sell
marijuana, the task force recommended against selling booze and pot in the same location. Canada will become only the second nation in the world to legalize pot. While it is sold in a number of U.S. states, federal laws restrict its growth as a business. Those restrictions won’t be in place in Canada and some companies are already positioning
themselves on an international scale. “I saw the dot.com era explode in front of us,” Clark said. “I think in many ways this is similar. I’m really interested in the pioneering aspect.” The second community forum is set for April 8. Both will lead to the academic conference in October that will have a Western Canadian or national focus.

Invest Well. Live Well.
Report Card Day for Investors Whether we are in school, sports, working or investing, we are judged on our results. Often clients will sit down at our face to face reviews and ask, “Are we making any money?” or “How are we doing?” We view our role like your personal Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and are accountable to you as your 'President.' Furthermore, we feel it is important that investors have some framework on how to evaluate their results. First of all, we cannot stress this enough, results should be measured to your specific goals not the latest stock market report. Everyone has different goals. We believe investment strategies need to be adapted to fit your unique set of circumstances. You should have a plan and ultimately know if you are on track, behind or ahead. According to the Financial Planning Standards Council, investors with a plan are over twice as likely to achieve their goal than those without a plan. The most common example is evaluating one’s retirement plan. Given a 4% forecast return, will you have enough money to last your lifetime? Next, we would like to explain absolute versus relative performance. Many clients joke that they want absolute returns in bad markets and relative in great markets. Absolute returns are striving for positive results 100% of the time. Whereas, relative is compared to a benchmark. As a hypothetical example:
www.kamloopsthisweek.com
Start of End of 2015 End of 2016 year S&P 500 Index (S&P) - TSX
-8%
+15%
+7.0%
$100,000
$92,000
$105,800
+5.8%
$100,000
0% $100,000
+7% $107,000
+7.0% +7.0%
Investor *For Illustrative purposes only
In the above table, the investor had absolute returns (no loss) in both years (0% + 7%). They performed relatively better than the TSX in 2015 however relative performance was worse in 2016. One of our “10-Core Beliefs” is to reduce risk and protect on the downside. The above example is a typical outcome that many of our clients experienced over the last couple years. Many investors would be quite happy with their 2016 return because it is positive; however, we like to point out that as an advisor, we are more concerned of their 2015 results where we helped protect their wealth relative to what happened in the markets. We also like to highlight that you can achieve better long-term results by protecting on the downside. As is the case in life, there are trade-offs. With respect to returns, you may have to give up a little upside in order to help protect your investments when the next bout of volatility occurs. This is a risk-return trade-off we concede regularly. It is often surprising to investors that you are actually further ahead when the returns have the exact mathematical difference. As per the table, both outcomes have a total return of 7%; however, the investor would have more money at the end of the day because she or he avoided much of the loss in 2015. Until Next time… Invest Well. Live Well

Horgan takes on Clark, forest companies TOM FLETCHER
BLACK PRESS
tfletcher@blackpress.ca
NDP Leader John Horgan has started his election campaign on the state of B.C.’s forest industry, hinting that Premier Christy Clark should replace her trade minister and “retool” for a lumber battle with U.S. President Donald Trump. Horgan also took aim at B.C.’s biggest forest companies for buying sawmills in the United States as B.C. mills shut down. “When I look at what some of the major forest companies in British Columbia have been doing in the last number of years, they haven’t been reinvesting their profits in British Columbia. They’ve been buying U.S. assets,” Horgan said. “Canfor, Interfor, West Fraser have been purchasing U.S. interests rather than reinvesting here in British Columbia.” Clark and Forests
Minister Steve Thomson also heard from coastal industry representatives at last week’s annual Truck Loggers Association (TLA) convention in Vancouver. “Recent industry polling tells us that two in three coastal British Columbians feel government should be doing more to support the forest industry,” said David Elstone, the TLA’s executive director. Jobs Minister Shirley Bond acknowledged forest and other resource communities have lost jobs in B.C., while the urban southwest enjoys an employment boom. She said the softwood lumber agreement was among the first issues raised by Clark when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was elected, noting Thomson and new federal Trade Minister Chrystia Freeland are in regular contact. “To suggest otherwise is simply wrong and it’s a little late for

the leader of the opposition to be talking about expanding our market share,” Bond said. “Our marketing efforts in China have seen a 2,000 per cent increase in B.C. softwood lumber exports from 2003 to 2014. And, suddenly, the leader of the opposition is going to come up with a marketing strategy?”
Horgan appeared with Steelworkers’ Union Local 2009 president Manjit Sidhu, who said he has seen steady decline since he started working at Hammond Cedar in Maple Ridge in 1973. The world’s largest cedar mill, owned by Interfor, is down to a single shift because of a lack of logs, he said.
“The Steelworkers have John Horgan’s back because John Horgan has the Steelworkers’ and the B.C. forest industry’s back,” Sidhu said. B.C.’s lumber sales to China have declined since a 2014 peak, when they briefly exceeded U.S. exports. China has increasingly turned to Russian lumber since the ruble was devalued in 2015.

FINANCIAL MATTERS Saving And Managing Money
Dealing with debt before (or during) retirement BABY BOOMERS
– one of the wealthiest generations in history1 1 www. mckinsey.com/ global-themes/ employment-andgrowth/talkin-boutmy-generation, and Doug Owram, Born at the Right Time (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1997).– are heading into retirement. They’re ready to kick back Strategies to help reduce debt and keep and finally enjoy your financial goals on track the fruits of their labours. Yet despite the lure of an early and active retirement, for many, the picture isn’t as rosy as expected. In fact, a record number of retired or soon-to-be-retired Canadians owe more than ever before. According to Statistics Canada, 70 per cent of people aged 55 to 64 were carrying debt in 2012, an increase from 61 per cent in 1999. In the over-65 crowd, debt rates climbed to 42 from 27 per cent over the same period, with the average debt load increasing by 94 per cent. How did this happen? One contributing factor is that we’re living longer; the average life expectancy of Canadians has grown by 24.6 years since 1921. There are simply more years of retirement to fund. The economic environment has also changed over the last few decades, leading many baby boomers to offer their children or grandchildren financial assistance, such as helping out with down payments on a home or university tuition. On top of these changes, the 2008 financial crisis was tough on most investment portfolios. Debt can be a source of stress during retirement, but there are ways to manage it. If you or someone you know is worried about debt, here are just a few strategies to consider.
CONSOLIDATING DEBT
Consolidation is often a feasible option, particularly if your debt is in the form of high-interest credit cards rather than a mortgage. Consolidating debt means using a lower-interest-rate option, such as a line of credit or personal loan, to pay off a higher-interest debt. A loan’s regular payment schedule means you could repay debt much faster than by making minimum payments on your credit card.
USING HOME EQUITY
A home equity line of credit could be a good way to help reduce the interest cost of your debt, assuming its interest rate is lower than the rate on your current loans. A home equity line of credit can also offer you access to money to manage unexpected expenses, helping you avoid having to sell long-term investments to meet a short-term need.
retirement by a few years, or “easing” into retirement by reducing hours or shifting to contract work.
HELPING PROTECT ASSETS FROM CREDITORS
While you are striving to pay off debts, you will want to ensure that your assets are protected. In the case of bankruptcy, as long as assets remain in a Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) or Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF), they may be protected from creditors.1 1 The federal government provides protection to RRSPs and RRIFs in the event of bankruptcy with the exception of contributions made within 12 months of declaring bankruptcy which are not protected. Other protection may be available under provincial legislation.That protection applies to locked-in plans as well, such as Locked-in Retirement Accounts (LIRAs), Life Income Funds (LIFs) and Locked-in Retirement Income Funds (LRIFs). Consult a tax or legal advisor about your individual circumstances.
NEXT ISSUE: RECOVERING FROM A FINANCIAL SETBACK
IT’S NEVER TOO LATE TO START
If you’ve got concerns about debt and retirement, speak to your advisor. He or she can recommend solutions and strategies to help you reduce or eliminate your debt while protecting your assets.

HOME DOWNSIZING OR RELOCATING
Consider whether you need the size and space of your existing home in retirement. Can you afford to stay in an expensive urban centre? A smaller, less expensive property or something in a less costly neighbourhood may suit your needs just as well. Why not take a look at listings in other neighbourhoods, or attend open houses for smaller properties near you? You might be surprised by what you find!
TAKING ON A TENANT
If your heart is set on staying in your current home, but you still have mortgage payments to make, you might want to consider the potential for rental income. Many urban areas have low rental vacancy rates, which could mean good rental income for you. But becoming a landlord is not as simple as just renting out a spare room or a basement apartment – you must adhere to zoning bylaws and consider tenant rights. It’s a good idea to consult with a legal advisor to help you understand all you need to know.

SNOW MOBILE
Winter sports: Seven snowmobile safety tips If you live in a rural area with heavy snowfall, you might be accustomed to riding around on a snowmobile. They’re a convenient way to get around if your car can’t handle the weather and they can also be a ton of fun. “A snowmobile needs to be treated like any other vehicle, so make sure you have insurance before riding — it’s mandatory by law in Canada,” explains Glenn
Cooper from Aviva Canada. Here are seven tips for safer snowmobile driving: 1. Know the law. Make sure you’re aware of the laws regarding snowmobile use. Have your registration and insurance papers in order. 2. Inspect before riding. Always thoroughly check your snowmobile before operating. Check the engine and oil and make sure you have enough gas
to reach your destination. Include an emergency kit in case you become stranded or need to make a quick repair. 3. Don’t drink and drive. Drinking and driving a snowmobile has the same repercussions as drinking and driving a car. Never drink and operate any type of vehicle. 4. Be aware of your surroundings. Driving a snowmobile safely requires concentration.
0
Always focus on the path ahead and what is around you. 5. Take lessons. Driving a snowmobile is not as easy as it looks. If you’ve never driven one before or haven’t been on one for an extended period of time, consider taking a lesson or two to brush up on your skills and knowledge. 6. Dress for the weather conditions. Make sure you have proper

Venturing outside? Stay warm, tell people where you are headed Winter is a special time of year for sportsmen. The great outdoors beckons men and women in the wintertime, when skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, snowmobiling and sledding are just a few of the many cold weather activities to entice athletes out of their homes. Though winter sports can help fend off cabin fever, those who don’t exercise certain safety precautions might find themselves dealing with another kind of fever. Cold weather can leave men, women and children susceptible to illness or injury if they aren’t careful. The following are a few safety tips for those who want to make the most of the winter sports season: • Wear protective head gear. Protective headgear can help sportsmen avoid colds and head injuries. When venturing outdoors in the winter, always wear a protective wool ski cap. Most body heat is lost through the head, but wool caps help your body retain warmth on cold days and nights. Even the most experienced sportsmen can suffer a head injury when playing a winter sport, but the appropriate headgear can
prevent head injuries to veteran and novice athletes alike. • Dress in layers. Dressing in layers is another way to stay warm and prevent illness in the winter months. Kids are especially susceptible to cold weather, so parents should dress them in one more layer than they dress themselves. When wearing scarves, sportsmen should tuck their scarves in so they don’t get tangled with sporting equipment. • Remove drawstrings from kids’ clothing. Drawstrings on winter hats, overcoats and pants can prove harmful to children. These drawstrings can easily get tangled and lead to strangulation. Parents should remove all drawstrings from kids’ winter clothing before kids participate in winter sports. • Beware of thin ice. Ice that forms on moving waters, including rivers and creeks, is never safe enough to walk on. Such waters should always be avoided no matter how thick the ice may appear. When going ice skating or playing hockey outdoors, only do so on waters that are supervised and have been tested and approved for skating.

ity of Kamloops crews might have been on the road in Monte Lake on Sunday morning, picking up shards of Sandman Centre roof. Collin Shirley’s overtime winner brought an explosive roar out of the 3,734 in attendance — and completed the Kamloops Blazers’ 5-4 comeback victory over the WHL-leading Prince George Cougars on Saturday. “Me and Balcs [Rudolfs Balcers] had a 2-on-1 and I just seen black,” Shirley, the Blazers’ 20-year-old captain, said with a laugh. “I didn’t even see him. Wasn’t passing that one.” Kamloops D-man Ondrej Vala had pilfered the puck inside his own blue line less than a minute into 3-on-3 overtime and quickly moved it off the wall up to Shirley, who ambled down the right wing, apparently paying no attention to his Latvian teammate on the odd-man rush. The left-shot Saskatoon product fired across the net, producing a post-andin lazer to beat Cougars’ netminder Ty Edmonds, who made 35 saves in a losing effort. “That was a real big weekend for us, to come away with two wins in two different scenarios,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “We got off to a good start, even though we were down 2-0. We just stuck with it. When you’re playing well and you stick with it, you find a way to win.” Kamloops knocked off Portland 4-3 in a shootout at Sandman Centre on Friday. Jesse Gabrielle and Jansen Harkins put the visitors up 2-0 inside the first five minutes of the first period on Saturday. Lane Bauer, acquired in a deal with Edmonton earlier this month, scored his first goal in a Blazers’ uniform to cut the lead in half at 6:23 of the first frame, but Brendan Guhle restored Prince George’s two-goal cushion 1:03 later. The scoring parade continued just more than a minute after Guhle’s goal, when Shirley tallied on the power play to cut the deficit to one. Blazers’ netminder Connor Ingram allowed three goals on five shots to start the game and his shaky first period continued when Guhle beat him from the top of the circle at 13:18. Both the first and second periods ended with the Cougars leading 4-2. Kamloops outplayed the visitors in the second stanza, but was not rewarded with a goal.

Nic Holowko gave the Blazers life at 5:22 of the third period, capitalizing on some hard work by Luc Smith in front of the net. His goal teed up game-tying heroics from Sideroff. Hay summoned Ingram — who shut the door after the Cougars’ fourth goal — to the bench in exchange for an extra attacker with just under a minute to play, at just about the same time Sideroff was kicking into top gear down the right wing. The Summerland speedster drove to the net and the puck found its way through Edmonds with 52.3 seconds on the clock. Ingram and the Blazers were saved by a post with 26.4 seconds to play, allowing the game to reach overtime, where Kamloops’ captain ended it. “Now we go on the road for seven games,” Hay said. “This should give us confidence. We feel we can compete with them.” As of KTW’s press deadline yesterday, the Cougars (33-13-3-0), who walloped the Blazers 7-0 at Sandman Centre on Nov. 12, were atop the B.C. Division, with Kamloops eight points back (29-16-1-2) in second place, three points ahead of Kelowna (27-17-4-0). “That’s the main part, is just beating that PG team,” Shirley said. “I don’t think it’s scoring the goal. It’s good to get two points to show we’re right there with that team.” Portland will play host to Kamloops tonight. The Blazers will drive home before heading to Kelowna to play the Rockets on Friday. Kamloops will return home again before embarking on a five-game U.S. Division swing that begins in Everett on Sunday and wraps up in Spokane on Feb. 4. The Blazers will not play at Sandman Centre again until Feb. 8, when the Rockets come to town.

Thompson reflects on early exit from B.C. Scotties ADAM WILLIAMS
STAFF REPORTER
adam@kamloopsthisweek.com
It seemed like it just wasn’t their week. One day after being eliminated from the 2017 Scotties B.C. Curling Championship, Kamloops skip Karla Thompson said missing the playoffs of the provincial championship was a disappointing way to cap off the 2016-2017 season. Reflecting as she drove back to Kamloops from Duncan, she shouldered much of the blame for falling short of elimination play, just one season removed from winning the 2016 provincial championship. “Obviously, it’s a disappointing end to our year, but that’s the way sport is sometimes. You can’t always be hot when you want to be,” Thompson told KTW. “I think my team played really well. I wasn’t finishing it off for them. But, like I said, that’s the way sport is sometimes.” The Kamloops Curling Club rink, which includes Coquitlam third Kristen Recksiedler, Kamloops second Erin Pincott and Port Moody lead Trysta Vandale, finished with a record of 2-5 on Friday, tied for sixth in the eight-team championship. The foursome was in playoff contention until the final day of play, despite starting 1-3. On Thursday, Thompson said she felt a record of 4-3 would be needed to qualify for the Page playoffs — she would need to win all three of her final contests, which included matchups against Maple Ridge’s Mallett rink, which finished atop the roundrobin standings, and
Chilliwack’s Wark rink, which grabbed the third of four playoff berths. The Kamloops rink nearly ran the table, first defeating Wark 8-4 and entering the ninth end of the contest with Team Mallett tied 4-4 and with last rock. But a little bad luck struck. One of Thompson’s stones picked up some debris after being delivered, ruining the shot and putting the foursome in a difficult position. “Our game against Mallett in the morning was actually going really well. We had an unfortunate pick in the ninth end and we took one instead of two. Then Marla [Mallett] made a great shot in the 10th end to win it,” Thompson said. “We were working hard and we never gave up, but it just wasn’t our week.” The foursome lost the contest 6-5 and lost its final game, 8-7 to Victoria’s Pewarchuk rink. Mallett scored a deuce in the ninth end to secure a 6-3 victory over Gushulak in the final on Friday. “We prepared, we followed our processes and we were success-
ful. I’m very proud of the team,” Mallett said. Mallett, from Walnut Grove, was joined by third Shannon Aleksic from Abbotsford and sisters Sisters Brette Richards (Kelowna) and Blaine DeJager (Prince George). The rink will represent B.C. at the national Scotties Tournament of Hearts, which will run from Feb. 18 to Feb. 26 in St Catharines, Ont. Mallett was dominant throughout the competition, finishing at the top of the table after round-robin play with a 6-1 record. The bronze medals went to Team Hudyma, featuring Vancouver duo Lindsay Hudyma and Holly Donaldson and the Victoria duo of Stephanie JacksonBaier and Carley Sandwith. Thompson was at the Canadian championship in 2016, finishing with a record of 2-9 as she represented B.C. in Grande Prairie. She is disappointed her rink won’t play for the province once again this year, but said whoever dons the blue and white of B.C. will do it proud.

Big day for Brown MARTY HASTINGS
STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
Corryn Brown knows looking past Nunavut and Yukon would be foolish. The Team B.C. skip plans instead to gather momentum today with a pair of victories over those two underdog provinces at the women’s Canadian Junior Curling Championship in Victoria. “Those are honestly always the toughest games,” said Brown, now in her last year of junior curling eligibility. “You go in thinking that you’re going to win and that’s when sometimes you get into trouble playing down to their level. “Teams like that want to beat the big guns.” Team B.C., among the favourites to win it all, includes skip Brown, Nanaimobased third Marika Van Osch, New Westminster’s Dezaray Hawes at second and Kamloops lead Samantha Fisher. Brown was 2-1 heading into a draw against New Brunswick played last night after KTW’s press deadline. B.C. opened the
tournament with a 4-3 victory over Northern Ontario on Saturday afternoon, but suffered its first setback in a 4-3 loss to Ontario on Sunday morning. “We had a shot for the win, but I couldn’t quite pull it out,” said Brown, a Kamloops Curling Club product. “But we definitely had a really good game, though.” Team B.C. was not at its best in a 9-7 victory over Quebec on Sunday night, but Brown is not concerned with style points. “We ended up with a W and that’s all that really matters in the end,” she said. “We’re not really here to win the all-star awards. It’s more about our record overall.” Brown and Fisher were winners at the 2013 Canadian championship and wore the Maple Leaf at world juniors that year, while Van Osch and Hawes won silver at the Canadian championship last year. They joined forces with sights set on winning the 2017 national title. The top four teams from both Pool A and Pool B, each of which are made up of seven
squads, will advance to the championship round, which begins tomorrow and wraps up on Friday. Finishing atop the championship-round standings means a berth in the final on Sunday, with the second- and third-place finishers left to square off in the semifinal round on Saturday. Ontario (4-0) was atop Pool B, with New Brunswick, B.C. and Quebec in a tie for second with matching 2-1 records as of press deadline. Northern Ontario (1-2) was fifth, Nunavut (1-3) was sixth and Yukon (0-3) was seventh. Brown said it would be important to find draw weight early against New Brunswick last night. Go online to kamloopsthisweek. com for the result. Yukon and B.C. will square off today at 9 a.m., with Brown set to play Nunavut at 2 p.m. “I’m thrilled to be wearing the B.C. jacket right now,” Brown said. “I think we have a really good chance. We just have to take the momentum and run with it.”

In the past few years, Raonic has been coached by Riccardo Piatti and former pros Ivan Ljubicic and Carlos Moya, and during Wimbledon, he hired John McEnroe as an adviser on a temporary basis. Then, at the start of this year, he parted ways with Moya (who has since joined Nadal’s team) and brought on Krajicek. The reason: to help him solve the riddle of the only two players ahead of him in the rankings — Murray and Djokovic. He has a combined 3-17 record against the two. “I don’t think I’m ever going to be the best guy from the baseline by any means, especially not against them,’’ he said before the Australian Open. “If I’m going to take it to them, it’s by coming forward. So I wanted to improve in that aspect.’’

ing inspired tennis in Melbourne. He also has a 6-2 record against Raonic, though the Canadian won their most recent match at the season-opening Brisbane International event. The other concern for Raonic has been his health — he came down with a cold earlier in the tournament and was bed-ridden for a day. His timing seemed slightly off against Bautista Agut when he racked up 55 unforced errors and even uncharacteristically hurled his racket to the court midway through the third set. But Raonic said he’s on the mend and playing with new focus under his recently hired coach, Richard Krajicek. Krajicek’s addition at the start of the season was just the latest tweak by Raonic aimed at perfecting his game.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. — There’s this football game planned for Feb. 5 in Houston. Let’s hope it turns out much better than most of the post-season matchups the NFL has provided this year. To say Sunday’s championship games were duds is being kind. Blame the two losing teams, the Packers and Steelers, who were so helpless that they looked like they should have been done playing last month. All credit to the Patriots and Falcons, of course, who could give fans an all-time great shootout in two weeks. But don’t count on it, considering how eight of the 10 playoff contests were, well, no contest. Wild-card weekend was everything except wild. Routs galore. Inept performances by the undermanned Raiders and Dolphins, inconsistent Giants and they-don’t-belong-there Lions. It didn’t improve any with the mismatches on the first day of the divisional round: Houston had no business being on the same field as New England. Atlanta passed Seattle dizzy and cruised. The respite from such lopsided and at times barely watchable matches came the next day with a classic Packers-Cowboys game. It was worth waiting for from beginning to end — the kind of product that entrances everyone — and was followed by a tight Steelers-Chiefs game that seemed to bode well for the conference finals. Then, deflation. Sure, it was sweet for the folks in Georgia and New England, and they deserve to celebrate. Oddsmakers expect a close one, too, making the Patriots merely a 3-point favourite. “It’s an honour to get to go and play in this game,’’ Patriots’ receiver Julian Edelman said Sunday night. “This is what you fight for. This is what you train for. This is what you get hurt for. This is what you get yelled at for and prepare for.”

TEMPERATURES
Just a bit of chill outside, eh? As you may know, -40 C equals -40 F. What is the value for x where x C = -x F or where x F = -x C? ANSWER TO LAST WEEK’S MORE ALPHABET SETS PUZZLE: The rule has to do with points that end the letter. (The letter W has two points on top; the other three angles are not points that end the letter.) If the letter has one or more points that point down, the letter is in set 1. If it has one or more points but is not in set 1, it is in set 3. If it has no points, it is in set 2.
Aquarius, you are quite productive this week, tackling many things on your to-do list. While you are feeling motivated, keep going and you may accomplish even more.

With a new iPhone, an apartment near the Grove, and a comfortable bank account left to her by her beloved late husband, Marnie Minervini has happily relocated from New Jersey to Los Angeles to be near her daughter Lori, a successful (but still single) screenwriter. Marnie’s plan? To smother Lori with motherly love. But when the dozens of texts, unexpected visits, and conversations dominated by unsolicited advice force Lori to draw strict personal boundaries, Marnie finds ways to channel her eternal optimism and forceful generosity to change the lives of others – as well as her own – and find a new purpose in life.

Obituaries & In Memoriam Melvin John Dunkley
Malcolm Bruce Robert Ruddick
November 17, 1920 – January 17, 2017 Melvin passed away peacefully at Royal Inland Hospital with his daughter Lynn and grand-daughter Lisa holding his hands. Our family has been blessed as Dad and Mum celebrated their 73rd wedding anniversary on June 12, 2016. Dad at the age of 96 years old was still taking care of all their financial responsibilities and enjoying life in his own home with Mum who kept him well fed. Last month he enjoyed going out for Christmas Day festivities with all of his family members. Lovingly remembered by his wife, Nicolette, son Douglas (Linda) and daughter Lynn Morrison. His grandchildren Dianna (James), Lisa (Phil), Michael, Steven (Debbie). Three great-grandchildren Zeb, Max and Briar who will miss their special Great Grandpa. He is also survived by sisters-in-law Joy Farmer, Dorothy Catt, Audrey Bullough and their respective family members, his sister Joy’s children and many other nieces and nephews. Predeceased by his parents, George Walter and Hilda Dunkley, brothers George and Peter, sister Joy McCallan, and son-in-law D. Wayne Morrison. Dad was born in Leicester, England and raised in Armstrong, BC from the age of four years old. Melvin was a World War II Veteran, Masonic Lodge Member and an Armstrong Legion Member. Dad was Postmaster for many years in Armstrong and loved this city and area. During his life Dad spent many happy times at Mable Lake as a young man then as a family man at the Dunkley cabin. He was an original member of the Armstrong Shamrocks Lacrosse Team and enjoyed ‘suiting up’ and playing during the Armstrong Homecoming in 2000……..the last remaining member of this team will now be joining up with his team mates! Our family would like to thank Lois Crown for all her “love and kindness” to Dad and the ‘road trips’ she took him on including travelling to Vancouver Island this past summer to visit with Steven, Debbie and Briar whom “Pa” held a special place in his heart. In lieu of flowers, please make a memorial donation to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation. There will be no service at Dad’s request.

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Malcolm Ruddick after a lengthy and courageous battle with cancer. Malcolm was born in Mission, BC on May 26, 1953 and passed away at Kamloops Hospice surrounded by family on January 10, 2017. Malcolm is survived by his loving wife Kathy Ruddick (nee Turner) and her mother Edna Snider, his brother Ken Ruddick (Ruth) of Nanaimo, BC, his sister Cheryle Macdonald (John) of Stave Falls, sister Karyn Ruddick of Vancouver, sister Heather Anderson of Bellingham, WA, nieces Jennifer Armour (Stuart), Beth Kennard (Jason), Coral Anderson, Evan Gregory (Gavin), Kristina Ruddick and nephew Jamie Ruddick. Malcolm was pre-deceased by his father Ken Ruddick and mother Vera Ruddick of Stave Falls, BC. Malcolm grew up in Stave Falls, a small community between Maple Ridge and Mission, BC. He attended a small one room elementary school that housed grades from 1 to 7, and then attended Mission High School. Growing up a rural location enhanced his love of the outdoors, fishing Stave Lake and Rivers when he was young. His passion for fishing was rooted in those early years and continued his entire life. Malcolm and his father Ken started Ruddick’s Fly Shop in 1972 out of a garage and then a barn on his father’s property in Stave Falls, BC. Malcolm took it to the next level in 1976 moving the shop to a full retail location in Maple Ridge. In 1978 Malcolm and Kathy were married and later that year moved the store to Burnaby/ Vancouver locations. Ruddick’s Fly Shop was a pioneer in the industry being the first retail specialty Fly Shop west of Toronto, directly sourcing and importing supplies and materials for the fly angler and fly tier. Malcolm and Kathy owned and operated the store together, and Ruddick’s expanded into two locations and became a true destination not only for locals but also international anglers from Japan, Europe and Britain. The location in Burnaby became a regular meeting place, especially on Saturday mornings for enthusiastic

First Memorial Funeral Service Patricia Mary Bowyer It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Patricia Mary Bowyer of Kamloops, BC, on January 15th, 2017 at 85 years of age.

Pat moved to Kamloops in 1985 from the Fort St. John area where she had lived since 1957. She moved into Berwick on the Park in July of 2014 and died suddenly on January 15, 2017.

fly fisherman to share a coffee and swap stories. Granville Island became the second location at a later date. The stores further expanded into fly fishing/tying education, hosting fly fishing destination trips as well as radio and television shows. Malcolm was an accomplished fisherman starting at the age of 10 but his love for fly fishing and fly tying became his passion. He was an expert fly tier and became famous for his exquisite and innovative fly patterns, in particular his polar bear coho, salmon/ steelhead and trout flies. Malcolm had a deep love and respect for animals, especially dogs. Once again a maverick, Malcolm acquired Nova Scotia Duck Tollers directly from Nova Scotia and started to raise them in the early 1980’s. Malcolm and Kathy hunted and fished with them extensively long before it was vogue to own one. Later, Malcolm became involved in training both Tollers and Labs for field trials as well as becoming a Trial Judge. He worked with his beloved dogs attending trials throughout BC and Alberta where he won numerous awards. After moving to Kamloops in 2007 Malcolm assisted in the opening and managing of Wholesale Sports, sharing his expertise in retail and industry. He left Wholesale Sports in 2011 after his illness no longer allowed him to work. A Celebration of Life will be held in the spring as per Malcolm’s wishes, further details to follow. It will be a comfortable and casual gathering, hopefully lakeside close to Kamloops in early May. In lieu of flowers, we ask that you donate in Malcolm’s name to Kamloops Hospice or Charity of your choice. There will also be a plan to donate to a “fishing” enhancement project in the Kamloops region with details determined and confirmed closer to the Celebration of Life.

Valerie Lillian Slater
February 12, 1950 – January 10, 2017 It is with profound sadness that we announce Val’s passing after a brief fight with cancer. Predeceased by her granddaughter Jessica in 1995, Val leaves her loving daughter Donna, grandchildren Michael and Nevaya, companion Mario and many special and loved friends. Born in North Vancouver, Val spent her childhood in the Savona area. Several years into motherhood and the secretarial pool, Val ventured to UBC where she received her Bachelor’s Degree in Social Work in 1989. Following work at the VGH Burn Unit, Val returned to Kamloops to work in Hospice and as a grief counsellor and various positions in RIH including patient advocate. All roles in Val’s life were executed with compassion, true spirit and gentle care of others. While Val enjoyed many great friendships, good wine and camping, her greatest pleasure was being a grandmother. Her endearing smile and ready laugh were tonic to our souls. A Memorial Service will be held on Saturday, February 4th at 10:30 am in the Valleyview Bible Church, where all will be invited to celebrate her life and share their stories. Should friends desire, donations to the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice Home, 72 Whiteshield Crescent South, Kamloops, BC V2E 2S9, would be appreciated in her memory. We thank RIH, Hospice and Schoening Funeral Service for their care of our beloved Val. Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com. Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Dust in the wind All we are is dust
in the wind Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do crumbles to the ground though we refuse to see Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Now don’t hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away and all your money won’t another minute buy Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind

Norval Guy Taylor It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Norval G. Taylor on January 8, 2017 at his home in Kamloops, BC. Norval was born in Lacombe, Alberta, on April 8, 1926. He grew up on a farm near Lacombe and when he was 15 the family moved north to a farm outside of Edson. In 1946 he married his sweetheart of 4 years Vivian Ramisch. They were married 68 years until Vivian’s passing in October 2014. Norval worked many jobs over the years..... a farmer, a sawyer, a trucker, a heavy duty mechanic, a manager of the service department at Finning in Whitehorse, Yukon and ending with Finning in Kamloops as a technical consultant. Norval and Vivian retired to their acreage outside of Kamloops in 1982. There they enjoyed their retirement years going back to their roots....farming, gardening and raising Morgan horses. Norval is survived by his daughters Marilyn Phillips of Kamloops, Lorna (Brad) Eliason of Kamloops and his son Raymond (Lea) Taylor of Abbotsford. He is also survived by his grandchildren Luke Eliason, Justin (Cara) Eliason and family, Drew Eliason, Lisa (Steve) Foottit and family, Tim (Angela) Taylor and family and Andrew Taylor.

May 23, 1939 – January 15, 2017
IRENE ALICE PARKER (MACFARLANE) Born to John and Phoebe MacFarlane, February 20, 1920 on Fairfield Island, Chilliwack, BC, ‘Renee’ passed away peacefully January 13, 2017 in Summerland, BC at the age of 96. She was predeceased by her husband E.A.J (Jack) Parker in 1994 and survived by her sister Jean Trout of Kamloops, BC, her daughter Marilyn Topham (John), her son Richard Parker (Candice), her grandchildren Jeff, Andrew (Tacia), Barry (Mingqi), and Brenda; and her two great grandchildren, Everett and Thea. Born the eleventh of fourteen children, Renee worked on the family farm, married Jack Parker in 1943, and began their married life in Portage La Prairie, MB, where Jack was stationed at McDonald Airbase with the RCAF. Their first child, Marilyn was born in 1944. The family returned to Chilliwack after WWII, where their second child, Richard arrived in 1951. Renee worked for several years as a stenographer and later at the auction sales at Chapman’s Auctioneers in Chilliwack. Renee and Jack loved a life of camping, fishing, curling and raising their family. Her home on 5th Avenue in Chilliwack was the go-to place for apple pie, and marathon games of hearts and bridge (she was always very creative with ‘house’ rules...). Adored by her grandchildren, she loved crossword puzzles, and was always there for her family and friends. At 90, Renee moved to the Summerland Seniors Village, where she was much loved and cared for by the staff, for which her family is very grateful. A Celebration of Life ceremony, with a service at the Little Mountain family plot in Chilliwack, will be announced at a later date. Please, no flowers by family request. Donations may be made to the charity of your choice. Condolences may be directed to the family through providencefuneralhomes.com 250-494-7752.
“Every Life Tells A Story”
It is with heavy hearts that we the family of Mayna “June” Towhey announce that she passed away peacefully in her sleep at the Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Memorial Hospice in Kamloops, BC at the age of 77.
Footprints One night a man had a dream. He dreamed he was walking along the beach with the Lord. Across the sky flashed scenes from his life. For each scene, he noticed two set of footprints in the sand: one belonging to him, and the other to the Lord.
June was born Kamloops, where she was raised alongside her two brothers Rod and Neil Reynolds and her sister Corrine Mattioli. Growing up, she was active in both gymnastics and figure skating and won the Miss Kamloops Crown in 1959. She loved to dance and remained active in the local square dance community.
When the last scene of his life flashed before him, he looked back at the footprints in the sand. He noticed that many times along the path of his life there was only one set of footprints. He also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in his life.
She is survived by her partner of 30 years Bill Morrison of Kamloops, her brother Neil Reynolds of Salmon Arm, two sons Mark Towhey of Toronto, Kevin Towhey (Tracey) of Kamloops and her daughter Shannon Towhey of Kamloops. She had four cherished grandsons Hunter and John Towhey of Toronto, Braedon Towhey of Kamloops, and Brandt Morrison of Wanham, Alberta.
This really bothered him and he questioned the Lord about it. “Lord, you said that once I decided to followed you, you’d walk with me all the way. But I have noticed that during the most troublesome times of life, there is only one set of footprints. I don’t understand why, when I needed you most, you would leave me.”
She will be missed by her extended family and the large circle of friends that she considered family. Special thanks to Dr. Peter Lowland and all the home support staff along with the amazing staff at hospice for the excellent care June received. No formal service by request. June will be interred at Hillside Cemetery alongside her parents in the spring.
The Lord replied, “My precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.”

Does Pre-planning Require Pre-payment? Family owned & operated
The simple answer is just two letters: No. You can set plan to paper by simply recording your wishes, and leave it for your family to pay for your desired services at the time of your passing. Or, you can protect you and your family, by pre-funding your plan. This ensures your expenses will be covered when you need them to be.
Joe Pringle
November 11, 1921 - January 19, 2017 (95 years young) Dad was born at home on November 11, 1921. He was raised and lived his whole life in the Westwold Valley. He was one of seven children and was predeceased by his mother Nellie, his father Andrew J., his wife Georgie, siblings Jack, Mary, Janet, Ellen and Marg. He was also predeceased by his son-in-law Ron Klassen. He is lovingly remembered by his five children: Vicki (Gary), Susie (Ron), Kristy, Kathy (Earl) and Gordie (Elaine) and his youngest brother Val (Sandi). His family has since grown to include 13 grandchildren and 23 great-grandchildren. Dad told us the following story of how he joined the army. “In the fall of 1942, we were custom threshing as my Dad had bought a separator a few years before. I was having a problem keeping the steam up with the wood they gave us for the steam engine. I was so tired that afternoon and mad about the wood, that when I looked around and saw the passenger train coming, I blew the whistle on the steam engine. Both teams ran away from the separator. Dad came running over asking “Why did you do that?” I told him I was catching the train for Vancouver and joining the army. That was the 5th of September, 1942. How my life changed from that day on.” Dad joined the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion and headed to Fort Benning, Georgia for training. He was sent overseas and on June 6, 1944, he jumped in the D-Day invasion of Normandy, France. He also jumped at the crossing of the River Rhine in March, 1945. By the end of the war, the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion had gained a remarkable reputation; they never failed to complete a mission and they never gave up an objective once taken. Dad came home on the Queen Mary. Dad was awarded the France Legion of Honor presented by the Consul
General of France at the Vedder Legion in Chilliwack. Dad is the last surviving veteran in his community. He returned home to Westwold and purchased a farm. He married Georgie Slater in 1949 and worked as a farmer, logger and hunting & fishing guide. He also operated a fishing camp on Woods Lake where he and his family spent many happy years. Dad also maintained his own trap line.

Prayer For
Peace
He was a president of the Royal Canadian Legion in Westwold as well as the Westwold Community Hall Association. He was a long contributing member of the community and was exceptionally proud of the Westwold Valley (aka God’s Country). An avid card and crib player, we all enjoyed many enthusiastic (competitive) games with him at family gatherings. Dad was fortunate that his good health, as well as his daughter Kristy’s endless dedication, allowed him to live independently on the original Pringle farm now owned by his loving brother Val and Sandi. The family would like to extend our sincerest gratitude to Dr. Howie, Dr. Chahal and all of the incredibly kind and compassionate staff and residents of the Ponderosa Lodge. Please join us for a Celebration of Joe’s Life at the Westwold Community Hall on Thursday, January 26th at 2:00 pm. FAIR WINDS AND SOFT LANDINGS.

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. When there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much Seek to be consoled, as to console; To be loved, as to love; For it is in the giving that we receive; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
