Thursday forum on fentanyl at TRU Another public forum on fentanyl use will be held in Kamloops. WTF? What the Fentanyl? will be held this Thursday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in the Barber Centre House of Learning at Thompson Rivers University. Dr. Mandy Manak of the Interior Chemical Dependency Office is teaming up with community partners and well as families whose lives have been changed by the fentanyl crisis to provide Kamloops-specific information on the dangers of opioid addiction. Naloxone kits will also be distributed at the forum. Naloxone is an antidote that tempo-
rarily reverses the effects of an overdose. Speakers at the forum will discuss a range of topics, including information on fentanyl and carfentanil, why they are so addictive, why they are dangerous, how prevalent they are and how they can impact even recreational users and their families. Speakers will also highlight where patients, as well as family and friends, can get help. The forum will be an open conversation that gives the public a chance to ask questions and interact with the speakers. Participants will also provide information on local resources.
Organizers say the forum is suitable for those ages 13 and older. As the number of overdose deaths in B.C. skyrocketed last year, the provincial government declared a public heath emergency. Nearly 1,000 overdose deaths were recorded provincewide in 2016 — the most ever in a calendar year — with fentanyl-laced drugs involved in many of the deaths. Statistics through the first two months of this year show the number of overdose deaths in B.C. at 219. In Kamloops, seven people died from overdoses in January and February.
Green leader can’t see Ajax approval ANDREA KLASSEN STAFF REPORTER andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C. Green Leader Andrew Weaver said his party will unveil a plan he believes could avoid the kind of conflict over resource development in B.C. seen around the proposed Ajax mine south of Kamloops. And, he said, restoring trust in environmental assessments and creating a more open process are key to avoiding community division of the kind Kamloops has experienced over the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine. “You have a community divided, you have a First Nation vehemently opposed,” Weaver said. “I can’t see the project going forward.” Weaver, in the city yesterday to address the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, discussed his party’s proposals to change how environmental assessments are conducted and environmental standards are enforced. “In this province, we have a problem that nothing gets done from a resource perspective and the reason nothing gets done is because we try to do things the way they were done 100 years ago,” Weaver said. “You cannot have big companies come in and market to a community, First Nations or otherwise, and say, ‘We know what’s good for you, we know what you need to do, it’ll bring jobs, yadda yadda.’” The Greens have yet to roll out the section of their platform dealing with environmental reviews, but Weaver said plans include creating an independent natural resources board, which will assume review and compliance functions now housed within provincial ministries.

The mayor of Ashcroft said the community is in mourning after four people were found dead inside a home in nearby Venables Valley — deaths believed to have been caused by carbon-monoxide gas. The bodies of Harvey Volaine and his wife, Melissa Penner, as well as their two children, 10-year-old Kaylex and sevenyear-old Ay, were found by police conducting a well-being check on Friday. The deaths occurred in a home that is part of the Sarangati Village, a 1,600-acre Krishna community of about 25 families in Venables Valley, 30 kilometres south of Ashcroft. “There’s definitely a sense of loss and, I guess you would say, shock,” Ashcroft mayor
Jack Jeyes told KTW. “The community in Venables Valley is even harder hit, of course, but they do interact with our community on a regular basis.” Jeyes said he has been affected personally. Penner worked for him. “She was my housekeeper and the gentleman was in town on a regular basis,” he said. “She was a very nice lady and a very positive lady, happy all the time. She lived for her kids.” Police and the BC Coroners Service are investigating the deaths. Coroners have said foul play has been ruled out and toxicology tests are underway, with all indications pointing toward carbon monoxide. The coroners service did not identify the source of the car-

bon monoxide gas. Two online fundraising pages have sprung up taking donations to cover funeral expenses. They can be found by searching Volaine on gofundme. com. In a press release, RCMP Cpl. Dan Moskaluk said investigators do not believe there is a threat posed to the public. The Venables community issued a statement on Sunday, asking for “respect and privacy during the process of grieving.” “This tragedy has deeply impacted family and community members, both adults and children beyond what words can convey,” reads the statement. “We send our most sincere condolences to family members of the deceased in this time of loss.”
A former lifeguard who was at the Canada Games Aquatic Centre last week when a young boy was pulled from the splash pool and resuscitated is hailing the facility’s staff as heroes. “I think they did an incredible, incredible job,” Sarah Boice told KTW. “They reacted so fast — within seconds.” Boice, a Thompson Rivers University student, was at the pool on March 22, leading a spring break camp. She said she was with her group of more than 20 children in the bleacher area of the pool when the commotion began after a young boy went underwater in the shallow end of the splash pool. “We heard the whistle and I turned around,” Boice said. “Within seconds, there was a lifeguard in the water, removed him and started performing CPR.” Boice said the pool was then evacuated. “Basically, as soon as they started doing CPR, they cleared the pool,” she said. “It was boom, boom, boom — everybody out.” Along with her co-leader, Boice took her campers out through a fire exit. She said the commotion upset some of the children. “They were quite scared,” she said. “My adrenaline was pumping, so I kind of went into protection mode. “A lot of the kids were scared and some were crying. I told them, ‘The lifeguards are doing the best they can. It’s their job.’” Thanks to work by lifeguards, firefighters and paramedics, the boy was saved. He has since been released from hospital, according to a press release from the City of Kamloops. “I’ve been a lifeguard myself in the past,” Boice said. “I know how frantic those situations can be. They did such a good job. It was so smooth.”

NDP’s Horgan outlines forest strategy during visit to Kamloops CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
With the governing B.C. Liberals rolling out pre-election announcements as the May 9 election nears, the NDP countered in Kamloops yesterday by outlining a forest strategy to reverse job losses. NDP Leader John Horgan was in the city to highlight a New Democratic requirement to use B.C. wood in governmentfunded projects. He pointed to the 18-storey Brock Commons building on the University of B.C. campus as an example of a made-in-B.C. success that could be replicated elsewhere. “It’s an example of where we want to go with forestry,” Horgan told KTW. The election campaign officially begins on April 11 and all parties are moving into full election mode. The New Democrats point to 30,000 jobs lost in B.C.’s forest sector since 2001. Those include former Weyerhaeuser sawmills in Kamloops and Vavenby and the former Tolko Industries mill
in Louis Creek, lost to fire in 2003 and never rebuilt. The nearest dimensional lumber sawmills to Kamloops are now in Adams Lake and Chasm. Tolko’s Heffley Creek operation is a veneer and plywood plant. “We haven’t done enough to encourage value-added,” Horgan said. The pioneering UBC building was designed in the province using engineered wood products. It was constructed in the South Okanagan, then shipped to Vancouver for assembly. The third floor of the Old Main Building at Thompson Rivers University also features engineered wood products. The B.C. Liberal government introduced the Wood First Act in 2009, but Horgan said it doesn’t go far enough. He said an NDP government would legislate requirements for engineered wood products in government buildings, including schools and hospitals. Horgan said that use would drive domestic demand and engineering and showcase tech-
nology for export. “They don’t mandate it in capital projects . . . We say if you’re building schools, which we desperately need in some fast-growing areas, let’s use wood products,” he said. The election comes as Canada continues to strive for a new softwood lumber deal with the United States. Horgan said the B.C. Liberals share some blame for delays that have led to new negotiations with a more protectionist Republican administration. Under the NDP government of the 1990s, mills were tied to local communities under a social contract called appurtenancy. The Liberals stripped those rules, allowing companies to build centralized supermills and get rid of local operations. The latest example was Tolko’s decision last year to close its Merritt sawmill and ship timber to the Okanagan. Horgan declined to discuss whether the party would bring back any appurtenancy rules, noting it has not released its election platform.

First Nations policies debated CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com
B.C.’s minister of Aboriginal Relations and Reconciliation yesterday highlighted actions by his government to reach deals with First Nations, but the opposition criticized the B.C. Liberals for lack of progress. B.C.’s two opposition leaders, the NDP’s John Horgan and Green Andrew Weaver, appeared on a panel at the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve along with Minister John Rustad. They spoke to a meeting of the B.C. Association of First Nations. “I want to talk about actions. That’s what the truth and reconciliation report is about — actions,” Rustad said.
The senior B.C. Liberal minister outlined agreements across the province, including in some cases for proposed LNG government promises by his government, but never delivered. “We want a path to reconciliation that’s different for each First Nation,” he said. Both Weaver and Horgan pledged to implement the United Nations declaration on indigenous peoples as well as measures in the Truth and Reconciliation Commission report. Horgan also said an NDP government would make the Supreme Court of Canada’s Tsilhqot’in decision the law of the land. That decision declared aboriginal title over 1,700

square kilometres, equating it akin to fee simple title. “Now we need to expand that across B.C.,” Horgan said. The loudest applause of the afternoon went to opposition criticism of an announcement earlier this month that between $9 million and $10 million of revenue from hunting licences each year will go to a new agency dominated by hunting and guide outfitting interests. That criticism came following a question by a First Nations leader why native peoples were cut out. Weaver called it a “last Hail Mary pass” to dole out government dollars for votes, while Horgan said the announcement to pacify guide-outfitters and hunters “is just plain wrong.” ADVISORY: Not suitable for all audiences.

Weaver pushes ‘bottom-up approach From A1
Last year, B.C.’s auditor general criticized the B.C. Liberal government for failing to adequately monitor mines and recommended that job be taken away from the Ministry of Energy and Mines, arguing there is a conflict because the ministry is also responsible
for promoting the industry. “Nobody trusts it. And you have to build trust,” Weaver said. He said companies looking to develop resource projects in B.C. need to take a “bottom up” approach, citing the case of two ski resort projects in B.C. — the Jumbo Glacier Resort near Invermere, which spend two
decades mired in controversy and has been the subject of First Nations legal challenges, and a similar glacier ski project in Valemount. “In Valemount, the community and First Nation went to the same developers and said, bring that here, we want it here and it’s gone forward,” he said.

Crown prosecutor Frank Caputo said Turigan was also wearing shin pads, one of which was concealing a dagger. Police also found brass
knuckles and a knife, Caputo said. Brass knuckles and nunchucks are both prohibited weapons in Canada. Turigan has a criminal record including convictions for weapons-related and violent offences.

OUT OF TOUCH ON SALARY
T
he B.C. Liberals have been hit by several donation-related scandals in the last few months. Most damning is the RCMP investigation into potentially illegal indirect donations made by lobbyists. Having lobbyists make donations on behalf of others muddies the waters of conflict of interest. But the most baffling was the fact that Premier Christy Clark was taking an extra $50,000 a year stipend from her party, which means she was being paid directly by her party’s donors. Why did Clark accept — for her entire term in office — the extra salary as leader of the B.C. Liberals? As premier of British Columbia, she already makes $195,000 a year. Keep in mind the average annual salary in B.C. is about $54,800. The median family income is $76,770. So, with an income as premier that is already almost four times higher than the average British Columbian’s pay, Clark needed a further top-up? The wretched truth is that people in power and in proximity to power start to believe they’re not just doing an important job, but that they are important. They tell themselves they’re indispensable, that they are unique, that they are the elite. And if they’re so special, don’t they deserve to be paid extremely well for their oh-so-vital work? When we go to the polls on May 9, we want to pick people who will do a good job of managing the many functions of government. But one of the principles of democracy is that our leaders are not that special. They are ordinary people who have been hired to do a job. If they don’t like the pay, maybe they can look for another job — elsewhere.

Turning over tombstones
T
he death and dissolving of a “parliament,” as each term of a B.C. government is technically called, leaves a scattering of tombstones. These are the proposed laws that die on the order paper when the increasingly bitter debate spills out into the street for the election campaign. Some of these proposals will spring to life again if the sponsoring party wins a majority. Some will remain cold and forgotten. For now, they act as sketch maps of the visions competing for your support on May 9. The B.C. Liberal government’s budget is the big one, presented but barely debated. That’s where Premier Christy Clark suddenly promised to end the Medical Services Plan tax, cut small business income tax and fiddle with a variety of other revenue streams to Victoria. Tobacco tax would go up again, to almost $50 a carton, but that’s not even news any more. The budget also promises to extend mining exploration tax credits to cover costs of environmental studies and community consultation. An NDP government would no doubt have a closer look at the idea of more tax breaks for the mining industry, but the flurry of bills presented by their MLAs since February speaks to different priorities. NDP Leader John Horgan and his team poured on the campaign reform, starting with their sixth annual ban big money proposal to eliminate corporate

VICTORIA and union donations to political parties. They would move elections to the fall, require a fall sitting of the legislature, register voters starting at age 16 to prepare them for voting at 18 and take political promotion out of government ads. Their latest bills say plenty about process, but little about what the NDP would actually do in government. So far, they’ve promised massively subsidized $10-a-day child care, a $15 minimum wage and a clean energy plan that consists mainly of doing what the government and BC Hydro are already doing — except, of course, building another dam. The NDP and Greens both proposed endangered species legislation. The NDP version looks more like the standard fare of professional environmentalists, not surprising since it was sponsored by former Sierra Club B.C. president and current NDP MLA George Heyman. It would provide a legal means to stop almost any industrial project, which is emerging as a focus of today’s
New Democrats. Green Leader Andrew Weaver’s version doesn’t seem quite as drastic, but it seeks to enshrine the “precautionary principle” to declare any risk, proven or not, to be enough to prevent development. Weaver frames the issue in apocalyptic fashion,with a longwinded preamble that warns: “The entire world is in the midst of an extinction crisis and humans are the driving force.” The legislation the Liberals actually passed speaks to their cynicism after four terms in power. A bill to repeal century-old racist contract terms changes nothing in the modern world, but the burst of positive Chinese-language media attention it received surely qualifies as a “quick win,” as ethnic appeals were once infamously described in the premier’s office. Legislation aimed at registering dog and cat breeders may never be implemented, even if the Liberals win again. How a new bureaucracy to register and monitor the commercial sale of pets fits with the governing party’s endless war on red tape has yet to be explained. The pet-breeding industry wants hobby breeders exempted, which may lead to the undoing of the whole thing. But the legislation created a great photo-op and cute dogs have been particular favourite of Clark in recent years.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
NEW HEART CLINIC SHOULD ASSESS AND REFER Editor: It is indeed sad to hear of Dr. Rajindar Joneja’s death under circumstances described in the March 21 KTW article (‘Death of retired doctor in ER spurs calls for cardiac clinic’). I am curious about what the call for a “cardiac clinic” means. If it means providing outpatient services for patients with pre-existing heart disease or urgent work-up for symptoms suggestive of heart disease, then yes, that would be of great value. Having it placed in the new clinical-services building would be an excellent place for such patients to be seen. If “cardiac clinic” means doing coronary artery catheter studies or heart surgery in Kamloops, that is highly unlikely to happen due to cost and replication of an excellent service in Kelowna.
In Kamloops, it is more important to do assessments that identify patients at higher risk for heart disease, then refer them appropriately. In Joneja’s situation, better triaging may have saved his life. If he had presented with chest pain, given his age and history of heart disease (congestive heart failure), placing him on a stretcher, doing an emergency EKG and having that reviewed by an attending ER physician and ordering stat blood work is basic to good triaging and emergency care. Having worked as a full-time ER specialist for almost 25 years, there has been an evolution of emergency cardiac care based on timely history, exam and sophisticated blood work. Patients presenting to emergency can be identified with increasing accuracy of having risk for heart dis-
ease. Those at low risk can be referred to an outpatient clinic for further assessment, while others may need to be admitted to hospital for care. Good triage is at the heart of good emergency care. Better training for emergency staff is timely, efficient and cost-effective, especially for those patients who are at risk for terrible consequences that happened to Joneja. As for the comments made by Interior Health Authority board chair John O’Fee, I am certain the Joneja family would much rather have the retired doctor with them today than have a clinic named after him because he received sub-standard medical care.

SPEAKING OF WASTING TAXPAYER DOLLARS . . . Editor: Re: Ron Wiebe’s letter of March 21 with respect to city council’s sister-sister relationship with Uji, Japan (‘International trade not city responsibility’): I couldn’t agree more. It is not the city’s place, especially when it
can’t seem to keep tax increases under the rate of inflation year after year. Wiebe’s letter also brought to mind one of the best examples of wasted city tax dollars I have seen recently — the billboard west of Hope on Highway 1 that is, pre-
sumably, designed to promote Kamloops. It may be the worst billboard I have ever seen. It is simply a white background with the words: “Kamloops, Unscripted Adventure.” What’s that supposed to mean? It doesn’t bring a single thing to
mind. It could mean anything from maybe I’ll need a tow truck to I might run into a dinosaur. Even a 10-year-old knows a picture is worth a thousand words. Tim Francis Kamloops
CITY SHOULD DOUBLE CHECK NUMBERS PICK UP POOP ON SUMMIT Editor: Re: (‘Tax hike set at 2.7 per cent,’ March 16): I would like to know who comes up with these figures as somebody at city hall should be checking them. For example, it states the city tax increase in 2016 was 2.35 per cent,
which for me should have been $49.40. Instead, it turned out to be $139.22, which is seven per cent on my city taxes. As a past alderman, I know and understand mill rates and what portion of the total tax bill is the city’s portion. I am thankful a couple
of councillors are starting to see the light and are questioning the increases. Homeowners have to watch their expenditures, as should the city, and having correct and true figures would certainly help. Tony Larsen Kamloops
Editor: Regarding dogs and their inconsiderate, physically challenged and mentally deficient owners who walk their animals on Summit Drive between either end of Robson Drive. These owners seem incapable of bending over and picking up the mess their
dog has left behind. If they had an ounce of grey matter struggling for survival, they would realize what they are doing is extremely inconsiderate and unsanitary. Most dog owners are responsible people and clean up after their dogs. Kudos to them for doing so. Mike Hancock, Kamloops

A geoscientist heading an effort to obtain a UNESCO designation for the North Thompson region said logging proposed by Canfor threatens natural values, including rare volcanic features. Catherine Hickson, who did research for her PhD thesis in Wells Gray Park, has asked the province to place a moratorium on logging in Upper Clearwater Valley. The area alongside Clearwater Valley Road, known as Three Gorges, twice washed out spectacularly in the 1990s, stranding residents and visitors for days. The washouts were attributed to logging done more than a decade earlier. Canfor now has filed plans to log in a 180-hectare area in Upper Clearwater Valley. “The areas slated for logging are in highly sensitive areas that contain geological features that are rare in British Columbia, not protected in other provincial parks and are not found in other locations within Wells Gray Park,” Hickson said in a letter to Environment Minister Mary Polak. Those include rocks formed by erosion, as well as volcanic features, including dykes and lava tubes. Hickson told KTW the geological values are just one part of the importance of the area under threat. “They’re quite unique,” she said of geological features that can be viewed by hikers in an area that has a longer season than Wells Gray Park due to its milder climate. “What’s particularly unique in the Three Gorges — First, Second and Third canyons — is they’re accessible to the
TREVOR GOWARD PHOTO Catherine Hickson said this cockscomb structure in the upper parts of First Canyon Creek is indicative of other features in the area. She said the features are formed due to the differential erosion properties of the pillow breccia that makes up the deposits. In addition to their spectacular shapes, Hickson said, they also pose problems for slope stability, increasing the potential for landslides and debris torrents downslope.
regular public,” she said. Those formations otherwise occur in B.C. in a remote area north of Telegraph Creek in Northern B.C. Conservationists are also concerned about threat to endangered mountain caribou. Canfor has not replied to requests for comment, but did send a letter defending its actions. “We have undertaken comprehensive terrain stability assessments, hydrology studies, visual impact analysis and wildlife biology assessments using independent, third-party experts,” wrote Peter Baird, general manager for Canfor’s forest planning. But critics say the company has refused to send out those expert reports for closer examination, allowing viewing only in its office in Vavenby. Hickson, who works all over the globe, said that kind of secrecy is unusual. “Typically, those kind of reports are public and part of the process to approving land use.” The Ministry of Forests responded to a request for an
interview by sending a statement saying it must issue a permit if a licensee has met all the requirements. “The permit is a salvage-only permit for mountain pine beetleattacked trees that was issued for forest health reasons,” it said. That permit allows Canfor to cut up to 9,500 cubic metres of timber in a 32-hectare area. However, residents and others with concerns say that cutting area is just the start. Hickson noted a local society, a number of scientists and the Thompson Nicola Regional District are working on a geopark proposal to certify under United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The Three Gorges area is a key part of that proposal. She said Canfor’s confidence is suspect, particularly when it won’t release its reports. Previous washouts due to logging “weren’t intended, but it was an outcome,” Hickson said. “It’s [logging] not intended to damage anything, but potential for that outcome is very high.”

Celebrating the life of Richard Wagamese DALE BASS

lthough Edna Manitowabi did not know author and journalist Richard Wagamese well, she knew the power of his words. Manitowabi spoke at a memorial service on Saturday for Wagamese, who died in Kamloops on March 10. Manitowabi, an Ojibway elder and professor emeritus at Trent University in Peterborough, Ont., has a role in Indian Horse, a movie to be released later this year that is based on the novel by Wagamese. Indian Horse is a story about a boy abused in the residential school system who finds his release in a love of hockey. The novel is being adapted for a movie and was a finalist for CBC’s Canada Reads in 2013. She told the crowd gathered at Thompson Rivers University that while reading his book, she recognized “the power of [his] gift because his voice, his words,
delved into the soul of my being.’’ Manitowabi called Wagamese a fledgling elder and said he “danced” through life. Christine Haebler, one of the producers of Indian Horse, said she knew the moment she heard Wagamese talking with Shelagh Rogers on CBC radio about his book “that it would make a marvellous film. “A mighty tree has fallen,”she told the crowd of about 180. “A national treasure gone too soon.” The author of 13 books, Wagamese’s first novel, Keeper’n Me, tied for the Writers’ Guild of Alberta fiction award in 1995. He eventually went on to write a dozen novels. Before writing books, Wagamese was the native-affairs columnist at the Calgary Herald and became the first indigenous journalist to win a National Newspaper Award in 1991. His death came just one week after he was nominated for a B.C. Book Prize for Embers: One Ojibway’s Meditations. He also won the George Ryga
Award for Social Awareness in Literature for his 2011 memoir One Story, One Song and the Canadian Authors Association Award for Fiction for his novel Dream Wheels in 2007. Close friend Dan Ferguson told the memorial about some of the hardships Wagamese faced throughout his life and about their discussions on the importance of being sober and of being able to apologize. Ferguson also told stories of the lighter side of his friend, describing Wagamese as someone “who really loved expensive shirts, the colour pink and the [Boston] Red Sox.’’ Longtime literary agent John Pearce recounted the “playful and intense” sides of Wagamese and said the author “could always get your attention.’’ On receiving the Indian Horse manuscript, Pearce said, “It came with a warning from Wagamese that the last 15 pages of this novel will rip the heart right out of you.’’ Wagamese often described himself as a second-generation
survivor of the residential school system. His parents and other family members were students in the system that later became a national scandal. In his essay Speaking My Truth: Reflections on Reconciliation and Residential Schools, Wagamese credited entering a Catholic church as a young man and finding himself the only person sitting in a pew who was not white as a turning point in his life, after hearing about a creator and being able to put aside his anger. Yvette Lehman, the author’s life partner, said Wagamese “taught me how to love.’’ The service was attended by Wagamese’s former wives Debra Powell and Carolyn Deby, his son Jason and granddaughters. Jason and grand-daughters Zoe and Dakota also spoke, the girls reading tributes received from those who could not attend. A second celebration of Wagamese’s life was scheduled for this past Sunday in northern Ontario, where he was born.
A mighty “tree has fallen. A national treasure gone too soon.

att Beattie has put about 100 hours into this year’s training
house. “I get my supplier to donate the material and I do the labour,” the owner of Beattie Insulation told KTW while cutting out insulation for the attic hutch. It’s a way to give back to the community and promote his business — but it is also fundamental to a partnership that provides Thompson Rivers University students hands-on experience and the Kamloops YMCA-YWCA an essential fundraising tool. “It’s the only thing that makes it work,” said Kelly Reid, first vice-president of the Canadian Home Builders Association Central Interior
“It’s [donations] the only thing that makes it work.” — KELLY REID,
vice-president of the Canadian Home Builders Association Central Interior
(CHBACI). “We would lose hundreds of thousands of dollars.” Keys to this year’s training house — the Y Dream home — will be handed over to the YMCA at the end of the month. In its 27th year, the CHBACI sells the house to the non-profit organization at a fraction of the cost for it to raffle off in its annual Y Dream Home Lottery. This year’s project began in July, built largely by CHBACI members and about a dozen carpentry students under the supervision of TRU instructor Hank Bangma, who is retiring at the end of the year. This year’s house is the biggest, priciest and most energyefficient to date. “It was just the design they came up with to suit this
neighbourhood,” Reid said. When KTW took a tour on Friday, the two-storey home with a view of the South Thompson in east Juniper was getting finishing touches. Asked about the location, Reid said the CHBACI tries to work with different developers each year. Craftsman Ventures is behind the new Stone Ridge Estates development, where the house is located at 12-3100 Kicking Horse Dr. Walking into the home, it has a bright, beachy feel with oak hardwood floors, 13-foot ceilings and quite the view. “This is just beautiful, right?” said Reid, looking out the living room window. It is also an energy star house, meaning it has better insulation and is more air tight than a typical home, uti-
lizing Logix insulated concrete forms and Halo graphite polystyrene exterior insulation. Add to that a heat recovery ventilator heat pump — which also better circulates the air — and a high-efficiency furnace. A normal house to code earns a federally backed EnerGuide rating of about 79 or 80, explained CHBACI office manager Rose Choy, which is about 10 times the efficiency of a house circa 1985 or earlier. The new training house? “Mid-construction we got an EnerGuide rating of 86,” Choy said. “You can imagine how there would be no bills, almost no bills.” The house was assessed at about $700,000, but thanks to people like Beattie who have gone the extra mile in donating time and supplies, it is worth about $850,000, Reid said. The Y Dream Home Lottery launches on April 3, with the winner announced in July.
It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.

What does your hedge look like? Last time, we discussed real estate as one of the alternative asset classes we use to build welldiversified portfolios. I put forth how real-estate investments are relatively simple compared to other asset classes and usually don’t highly correlate with the other investment options available. Understanding how portfolio construction helps to manage asset class correlation should be a priority for every investor. Hedge funds can greatly add to portfolio construction, but

unlike real estate, can be very complicated. That in no way means investors should avoid them, but simply that some time should be invested to get an understanding of them. We have an upcoming client presentation where two of the speakers will be what might be called hedge fund
managers. The first is a long-short bond fund manager. Every investment manager out there is looking for value, trying to find an opportunity that the market as a whole has missed. While these managers look, they consistently find what they see as overvalued or expensive positions. A traditional manager can only choose not to invest in that position. A hedge fund, and in this case a long-short bond or income investor, can choose to short the overvalued position, which is
essentially betting against the position. If our long-short manager is right, he or she will hold long positions in undervalued great securities and hold short positions in overvalued poor quality securities. This creates a situation where they are able to generate returns in good or bad markets. This is something worth considering as we enter the ninth year of an upward market. Our second guest has a much broader mandate. This fund looks for undervalued securities, but prefers positions that
have an income, so in a way gets paid while waiting for the security to get to full value. These funds are looking to outperform the market as a whole while providing lower volatility. To throw some technical jargon at you, they are looking to generate positive alpha (percentage points better than the market) and lower beta (correlation to the market). This particular fund is almost 19 years old and has an annual average rate of return of 9.99 per cent or just shy of 10 per cent. It has a very good alpha.
Alternative strategies are not new. They have been used by institutional managers for many years. I first studied their place in a portfolio back in around 2002 when I read David Swensen’s Pioneering Portfolio Management. Swensen is the chief investment officer for the Yale (university) Endowment and has substantially outperformed the market. If you really want to see these strategies applied, check out our very own CPP (Canada Pension Plan) Investment Board at cppib.ca. You might be surprised how they
manage the plans close to $280 billion.

Province chips in for new nursing building at TRU ANDREA KLASSEN
STAFF REPORTER
andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com
When the province announced Friday it would kick in $8 million to help fund a new school of nursing building at Thompson Rivers University, dean Donna Murnaghan brought her own shovel to the proceedings. “I have the shovel ready to dig the hole if I needed to do it myself,” the dean of nursing joked. “But now I won’t have to.” As expected, and as reported earlier last week by KTW, the provincial government on Friday morning announced it will contribute $8 million toward a $32.6-million Nursing and Population Health Building tat Thompson Rivers University. The university will cover the remaining $22.6 million. More than $2 million has been raised privately, including $550,000 from the Stollery Charitable Foundation and an anonymous donor who will be announced at the opening of the building. The 4,100-square-
metre (44,000-squarefeet) standalone building will house the bachelor of science in nursing, health-care assistant and the new master of nursing program, as well as other nursing and health programs as they are developed by TRU and approved by government. The new Nursing and Population Health Building will feature multi-disciplinary simulation labs, classrooms and collaborative study spaces. TRU will be able to implement patientsimulation technology in the new building. “This building is going to mean more nurses on the ground doing what they do best, and that’s healing people,” said Transportation Minister Todd Stone, in whose Kamloops-South Thompson riding TRU lies. Murnaghan said she is confident the rest of the money needed will be found while the university finishes its pre-building planning. Construction of the building will begin a year from now, in spring 2018. Completion is anticipated for spring 2020,
A21
with students expected to begin studies in fall 2020. Murnaghan said the building will allow the school of nursing to look at expanding its programs — which receive far more applications than there are available spaces each year — based on the health care needs of the region and province. It will also give students more time and space to practice skills and do hands-on training. “We have been crammed into corners,” she said. “My faculty is in two different buildings right now and there is no space for our students to do anything other than come into their lab and get out, because there is somebody else behind them.” The space constraints have also limited the amount of new technology the school can bring in, which requires both room and a higher-tech infrastructure. While faculty looked at renovating its existing spaces to bring in new teaching tools, which include equipment to simulate vari-
ous medical scenarios students will encounter in the field, Murnaghan said they found the upgrades needed weren’t possible in the space available. TRU president Alan Shaver said the new building will move the nursing school “to the next level,” and thanked the province for its second funding announcement on the campus this school year — it contributed $7.03 million to a new trades building last September. “They could have said what more do you want?” Shaver said. The 2025 B.C. Labour Market Outlook forecasts that 30,000 nurses will be needed throughout B.C. over the next 10 years, due in part to an aging population. The provincial government said the project will create 102 jobs in construction and 74 jobs in supplier industries. Health Minister Terry Lake noted health care is one of the largest sectors in the Thompson-Okanagan and the demand for skilled health-care workers is expected to grow.

TANJA HASLER self-employed 21 Club
www.kamloopsthisweek.com
This week I attended Sunday and Tuesday’s group training sessions. We met at Runners Sole. I never used to do any group sports with such consistency. The only other time was when I trained for one year with a group from work, overseas, to get ready for the 2003 Zurich Marathon. In retrospect, I only connected loosely with the other runners, but did successfully complete my one and only marathon. I run alone. In fact, I have spent a lot of time alone. In the past, I have felt more comfortable on my own than amidst others. For a long time, I only had one best friend with whom I spent time regularly. When that went belly-up, I was in big trouble. So I contented myself with being fine on my own, yet I was lying to myself. I was afraid, very afraid, of how to go about finding friends who would accept me for who I am and I often asked myself if I even deserve loving friends. After plenty of discussions and help, I realized I could not be the only person on this planet who did not deserve, or was not capable of, having friendships, a partner, good job, etc. RunClub has been a huge door to change. In the beginning, we are all nervous and don’t know anyone, but the beauty of it is you share a run, a high-five, you talk and slowly connect with others. Eventually, you share a hug and your story. That’s genuine, that’s friendship, that’s connection.
GROUP GOAL WARM-UP
ADAM DONNELLY CFJC-TV photojournalist
The first rule of RunClub is you don’t talk about RunClub. Wait, that’s not the club I’m in now. The hardest part about RunClub is getting here. That’s the RunClub mantra I’m after — and it’s 100 per cent accurate. You can spend your whole day thinking about things you need to do or would rather be doing, than joining dozens of others to run around different parts of Kamloops. Maybe it’s some work you didn’t have a chance to finish or a project you’re working on for down the road. Maybe you’re heading out of town and you need to get your life in order. Maybe you’d just rather go home and sleep. The whole day, in the back of your mind, is this little voice saying, “I don’t wanna run.” Just ignore that voice and show up to RunClub anyway because no matter how you feel going into a run, you’re going to feel better afterwards. That goes for any kind of exercise. See, when you exercise, your body releases chemicals called endorphins, which interact with the receptors in your brain that reduce your perception of pain. Tyler Durden, the antagonist in Fight Club, asked, “How much can you know about yourself if you’ve never been in a fight?” I’m asking myself the same about running.

I knew it was only a matter of time before our RunClub training would take us up a hill. As I drove to our early Sunday morning session — which is already hard enough if you aren’t a morning person — I started to panic as I realized every possible direction from Runners Sole has a hill and I’m going to have to walk/run up it. Prior to this training, I would do everything in my power to avoid walking up hills. Hills would make my feet hurt and my shin splints would be burning not even halfway up a hill of any size. I was nervous that I wasn’t going to be able to do it or that I’d be in so much pain by the time the hill was done, I’d want to go back. But I have never tried walking/running up hills with proper shoes on my feet. Most of my adult life, I’ve been wearing the wrong size of shoes. My feet are wide, but instead of getting a wide shoe, most times I would just go to the next size up and they just wouldn’t fit right. Before Boogie training started, I went to Runners Sole and Colin properly fitted me with shoes that actually fit. I can’t believe the difference it has made. I tackled Hillside Drive twice this week. No shin splints, no foot ache — just sweat, smiles and progress.

TIPS
Spring is a beautiful time to be outside. Take in all the sounds, smells and your surroundings. Being outdoors is so important for our health and happiness Your goal is to walk 5K or 10K.
Remember, rest days are also training days. Rest days are when your body is recovering and strengthening. Try not to run two days in a row.
The best complement to your run is yoga. Yoga packs serious perks for runners, including flexibility, easing aches and pains and recovery.
Get your stretch on. Learn four or five basic yoga stretches designed specifically for your running body. This can improve all aspects of running.
Recovery eating after your long run: Consuming carbs with a bit of protein in the first 90 minutes post-run speeds muscle recovery.

B
eware that little whisper that says you cannot do this. As we get further into Boogie training, you may start to question yourself. Discomfort and doubt settle in and cuddles up close. When you started your training, it was all a great idea. Now that you are in the midst of it, that fear voice may start to rear its ugliness. What was I thinking? Who do I think I am to try something like this? This is the voice of fear. The false voice. I know this voice. I have pushed her off my shoulder too many times to count. I have told this curly-haired monster to mind her own business. She tries to tell me I am not good enough, that I cannot possibly do this thing. She taunts me by saying that we just don’t have what it takes. I am so familiar with her now that I find her comical. Questions? She has little Go online to runclub.ca power over me any or send an email to more. This took a joberry@telus.net. lot of practise and mindfulness. The most important thing we can ever learn about fear is this: Fear is a liar. If you call fear by its name — liar — it is forced to retreat and find someone else to pick on. Fear loves to play on your dreams and goals. She is a sneaky one. Call her out as soon as you know she is there. Soon, she won’t show up nearly as much. Congratulations to anyone who takes on Boogie training. You have made the decision to choose health, courage and freedom over fear. When you cross your Boogie finish line, you are crossing much more than a fitness event. You are crossing your own personal accomplishment not only in your running, but in your life.

BLAZERS LOOKING TO AVOID LIFE SUPPORT
ROCKETS TAKING 2-0 LEAD INTO GAME 3 OF FIRST-ROUND WHL SERIES TONIGHT AT SANDMAN CENTRE STAFF REPORTER
sports@kamloopsthisweek.com
T
he time is now. Anything short of their best effort of the series could spell doom for the Kamloops Blazers tonight at Sandman Centre, with the Kelowna Rockets holding a 2-0 lead in the first-round Western Conference series. “I hope everybody will be playing a desperate game game,” said Blazers’ forward Quinn Benjafield, who had a goal in a 3-2 loss in Kelowna on Saturday. “Going down 3-0, it’s pretty hard to climb your way back. Hopefully, we can pull through.” The Rockets shelled the lifeless Blazers 4-0 at Prospera Place in Game 1 on Friday, outshooting the visitors 48-15. “They competed for a full game and were all over us in every aspect of the game, but Game 2 was a lot better,” Blazers’ captain Collin Shirley said. “When you go down 1-0, it’s desperation. We had three or four shots on our first shift, which was probably a quarter of what we had in Game 1.” Connor Ingram made 44 saves in a losing effort between the pipes in Game 1, a bright spot in an otherwise bleak showing from Kamloops on Friday. Michael Herringer stole the show on Saturday, making 33 saves — including a stop-of-theseason candidate paddle save on Shirley in the second period — to push the Rockets to victory. “That save was unbelievable — that will be No. 1 everywhere,” Dillon Dube told Larry Fisher of the Kelowna Daily Courier. “I can’t even describe it. Everybody had their head down on their bench and that completely changed the game. It calmed us down a lot and that’s what we need from him.” Kamloops was down 3-0 heading into the third period on Saturday, but made it close with
third-period goals from Benjafield and Ondrej Vala. “I thought we played a really good Game 2,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “We came with a lot more energy, emotion, determination and focus. “Now we have to come into Game 3 and play our best game of the series. It’s important we get started at the right time — that’s when the puck drops.” Kelowna held serve and did so in front of crowds of 5,512 on Friday and 5,647 on Saturday. “It was a great crowd in Kelowna with lots of energy and I think the Rockets fed off it,” Hay said. “We’d love to have big crowds support us in Games 3 and 4.” Hay tinkered with lines in Games 1 and 2, as he did for much of the latter half of the regular season, and will likely continue that trend tonight. “This is a very important game, the most important game of the series, and we can’t let it slip by us,” Hay said. The Blazers’ top unit of Garrett Pilon between Deven Sideroff and Rudolfs Balcers was broken up after Game 1, scattered across three lines in an effort to find a spark. Wherever they end up tonight, they will likely need to produce, along with the rest of their teammates, if the Blazers want to stay off life support. “I think we gave them a little bit too much respect in Game 1,” Kamloops forward Jermaine Loewen said. “We’ve got to be better. We played pretty good in the second game, but we need to be better.” NOTES: D Devan Harrison and F Brodi Stuart drew into the Blazers’ lineup on Saturday, replacing D Dan Gatenby and F Jackson Shepard. Both Harrison and Stuart played well on Saturday. . . . Kamloops forward Luc Smith is injured and expected to miss Games 3 and 4. . . . Kamloops is 1-for-8 on the power play this series, while Kelowna is 3-for-10.

Games 3 and 4 will be played tonight and tomorrow at Sandman Centre, with faceoff both nights slated for 7 p.m.

GAMECOCKS A SURPRISE ENTRY IN FINAL FOUR JIM O’CONNELL
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
NEW YORK — Gonzaga is in its first Final Four but the Zags had knocked on the door a few times. South Carolina, meanwhile, enters its first Final Four having never been close to this deep a run. The Gamecocks reached their first national semifinals the same season they reached their first Sweet 16, coming in as the seventh seed from the East. South Carolina guard Duane Notice said his team’s run is no surprise. “Everybody’s always picking against us,’’ Notice said Sunday after his team beat fourthseeded Florida 77-70 at Madison Square Garden. “We’re focused as a team, we’re focused on the next game ahead every time. The way we play defence, you can put any school — big or small — against us.’’ They were a slight favourite against Marquette in the opening round but were a decided underdog against second-seeded Duke in the round of 32. That was the first of three games where the Gamecocks, who will face Gonzaga in the Final Four, showed their mettle. “We’re not going to settle for this and we still feel like we got one more game,’’ regional MVP Sindarius Thornwell said with one of the nets draped around his neck. “We’re
still going into that game thinking we can win. Why not? Why not us? Why not go win it all?’’ South Carolina and Gonzaga get underway at 3:09 p.m. on Saturday, with Oregon and North Carolina to follow at 5:49 p.m. If Thornwell keeps playing like the SEC player of the year as voted by the coaches, anything might be possible. He is averaging 25.8 points in the tournament and he has come up with every big play the Gamecocks have needed as they have rallied from three halftime deficits during their run. “That’s why we’re sitting here right now, because they don’t pay attention to that nonsense,’’ coach Frank Martin said of the nonbelievers. “They believe in each other. They’re completely invested into each other. Not winning. Each other, which then allows you to win. And they’re powerful kids, man, powerful kids.’’ They have been powerful enough to take South Carolina to its first Final Four. And now we’ll see what happens. “These last two weeks, when we got our name in, [Martin] said we been listening to him all season and don’t stop now because we got our name on the board,’’ Thornwell said. “So when he said that, we all locked in and didn’t listen to any outsiders, didn’t listen to anybody else but Coach.

Steel named WHL player of the week The Western Hockey League announced yesterday Regina Pats’ forward Sam Steel is the WHL Player of the Week for the period ending Sunday, March 26. He registered one goal and six points in two games, helping the Pats jump out to a 2-0 lead in their bestof-seven first-round playoff series with the Calgary Hitmen.

Michael Herringer of the Kelowna Rockets was named the league’s
goalie of the week. The 21-year-old Herringer went 2-0-0 with a 1.00 goalsagainst-average, .960 save percentage and one shutout as the Rockets claimed a 2-0 lead over the Kamloops Blazers in their best-ofseven first-round playoff series.

The first weekend of the 2017 WHL Playoffs concluded with a return to form for two higher-seeded clubs. After opening its first-round series with a narrow loss to Red Deer, the hometown Lethbridge Hurricanes tied the best-of-seven at one game apiece with a commanding 5-2 win on Sunday. In B.C.’s Northern Capital, the hometown Prince George Cougars responded to their Friday loss at the hands of the Portland Winterhawks with a 5-1 victory as the series now shifts to Oregon. Game 3 in both series will be played tomorrow. The Moose Jaw Warriors evened up their best-of-seven

tonight at Credit Union Place in Dauphin, Man.

Obituaries & In Memoriam In Loving Memory Of
Joshua William Pollard Zapf – “JZ” September 11, 1987 – March 29, 2015
Paul David Toporowski
Toporowski, Paul David, 55 of Kamloops, British Columbia passed away from pancreatic cancer on March 23rd, 2017 at Kamloops Hospice surrounded by family. He is survived by his wife Melanie and their four sons: Tyler (Laura), Shane, Christopher and Riley. He was predeceased by his father Carl Alexander and father-in-law Gilbert Fraser. He will be greatly missed by his mother Stephanie, his brothers: John (Nicole), Steve (Yvonne), Michael and Tom and sisters: Carla (Ron), Leanna (Gary- deceased) and Annalise. He is also survived by his mother-inlaw Agnes and eight in-laws: Gail, Carver, Terry, Tim, George, Nathalie, Darren and Elston. His 79 nieces and nephews, and many dear friends and past clients shall fondly remember him. Paul was affectionately known as “TOPPER” to everyone he met. Paul was born in Fort St. John on January 16th, 1962 and soon moved to Vernon and then Richmond in 1967. He attended James Gilmore Elementary School followed by Vancouver College High School where he excelled at academics, athletics and leadership. Paul was honored to be chosen as Captain of the Fighting Irish Basketball and Track and Field teams and graduated as Class President in 1980. He was truly a gifted athlete setting many track and field records that stood the test of time for many years.
Your life was a blessing. Your memory a treasure. You are loved beyond words and missed beyond measure. Always in our minds, forever in our hearts. We love you, until we meet again.
Mom, Dad, Justin, Jamie, Jason and Marcus
Paul had various jobs during his formative years: Woodwards Sporting Goods Dept, Hydraulic Shop (heavy duty equipment operator), HY Louie (Longshoreman- driving front-end loaders), and working for his father in the mining business running compactors and bulldozers in Montana and Arizona. After Langara College (playing basketball), Paul attended SFU with good friends Damian Botteselle and Stewart Bailey. He graduated in 1986 with a Major in Criminology and a Minor in Business. He then completed a practicum at a local law firm and became a stockbroker at Yorkton Securities (and personal assistant to the Chairman of the firm, Mr. Lal Gondi). Paul met his wife Melanie Fraser in Vancouver, 1988. They were married in 1989 and welcomed their first son Tyler, in August of 1991. Moving to Kamloops in 1992 they soon welcomed their second son Shane, in November. In 1993, they opened Toppers Fun Town Amusement Park (previously located in the current Summit Shopping Centre). In September 1994 they had their third son Christopher.

First Memorial Funeral Service Richard “Rick” Douglas Embury
Born October 14, 1953, Rick successfully conquered his addiction to life on St. Patrick’s Day, 2017. Rick loved his partner, his children (and grandchildren!), his brother, his darts and the city of Kamloops…not necessarily together or in that order. Rick strongly disliked peppers, leaches and being wrong, not necessarily in that order.
Unburdened by asinine political correctness or meddlesome doctors’ orders, Rick enjoyed life to the fullest until his final moments (which naturally included a couple of drinks, a game of darts and a seat in his shorts beside his beloved Carol). Rick will be greatly missed by his partner of 22 years Carol, brother Don (Joanne) and their family, his daughter Lorna (Kim), his son Richard (Shannon), step children Theresa and Johnathan (Hwa jung), grandchildren Jasmin, Christopher, Katherine, Connor and August and many cousins and friends. While the memorial will be held at a date yet to be determined, all friends, family and enthusiasts of life are invited to celebrate the existence of a genuinely good soul at your earliest convenience. The family would like to express its gratitude to the EMS, RIH and Kelowna General Hospital staff who worked so hard in providing compassionate care during all of their best efforts for Rick. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Heart and Stroke Fund (729 Victoria Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2B5) would be appreciated. Condolences may be sent to the family by visiting www.springfieldfuneralhome.com, 250-860-7077.
For 13 years, Paul was actively involved with St. Ann’s Academy where he fundraised for the new wing and playground. Paul coached numerous basketball teams at St. Ann’s, Steve Nash Youth Basketball and Sa-Hali Secondary. Topper will be remembered by family, friends, business colleagues and everyone he met, as a man of incredible generosity. He was a man of faith, loyalty, honesty and integrity and was so proud to pass these gifts onto his four sons who will continue to emulate his good nature. His lifelong commitment to his wife and sons will be his true legacy. Paul will be missed by all who knew him. Please join us for a Mass and Celebration of Paul’s life on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at 12:00 noon at the Calvary Community Church (1205 Rogers Way, Kamloops, BC). In lieu of flowers, please make donations to the BC Cancer Agency at www.pancreascentrebc.ca indicating “dedicated to Pancreas Centre BC” and/or the Kamloops Hospice Association at www.kamloopshospice.com. Condolences may be emailed to the family from www.kamloopsfuneralhome.com

Elsie Rosalie Ring
April 1, 1923 - March 16, 2017 Elsie passed away peacefully at the age of 93. Elsie was a caring wife, mother, friend and a loving grandmother to her three grandsons Justin (Michelle), Todd (Lesley) and Kent (Deanna). Her “boys” were one of the great joys of her life. In addition to her grandsons, Elsie is survived by her daughter-in-law Phyllis, eight great-grandchildren Avery, Paige, Hudson, Allison, Morgan, Jenna, Tanner and Jonah as well as numerous nieces and nephews. Elsie was predeceased by her loving husband Victor, her deeply cherished children, son Duwayne and daughters Diana and Donna. Throughout her life, our grandmother found pleasure in being an active member of the Lutheran Church and rarely missed her weekly quilting group. She loved socializing with friends and family and taking her daily walks down the hill to the grocery store. She was an unbelievably strong lady who used her faith to show us all how to overcome hardship and find gladness in life. We would like to thank the nurses and staff at the Ponderosa Lodge for the loving care that they provided to Elsie. A Funeral Service will be held for Elsie on Saturday, April 1, 2017 at 11:00 a.m. at the Lord of Life Lutheran Church (2481 Sunset Drive, Kamloops, BC).

Donald Hardman
It is with huge sadness in our hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Don Hardman on March 18, 2017. The son of immigrant parents from Manchester, England Don was born in Edmonton, Alberta in 1936. He was the youngest of six siblings. At age six Don, and his two sisters Joyce and Joan, joined their Dad in a move to Surrey, BC. Surrey was to be his home for the next 51 years. After 3 valiant attempts to pass Grade 8 Don began his work career. He purchased his first backhoe at age 18 and began a business that soon became Don’s Power Digging. Backhoes and their ability to move dirt was a passion for Don. At age 20 Don met and married Klara Zalit. Over 14 years of marriage Don and Klara had two children, Joanne and Gordon. Even after divorce Don and Klara remained lifelong friends in supporting their two children. Shortly after his divorce Don married for the second time to Shirley Johnson adopting Shirley’s two children, Tracy and Dean. This marriage was short lived however, as Don’s struggle with alcohol neared its apex. At age 42, with his life in disarray, Don found his friend Bill W. True to Don’s wonderful character, he committed to Bill’s program as his chance to start again. The program dramatically changing his life for the better. In December 2016 Don celebrated his 38th year of sobriety. Using tools taught by Bill W, Don restarted his backhoe business. He titled his company Digger D Construction. And thus was born ‘Digger’- the name that would attach to Don for his remaining life. In 1993, and nearing retirement, Digger moved from Surrey to Kamloops to be closer to family,
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.
but more specifically his new grandson Blair. It is with wonderful memories that people will remember Digger attending his grandson’s sporting events in hockey, lacrosse and soccer. Always a sports enthusiast, Digger loved the rinks of Kamloops. Digger’s first and biggest love however, was family. The loss of his beautiful daughter Joanne, to cancer in 2008, was an incredibly hard time. Using his supports through family and friends, Digger survived that time with incredible grace and dignity. His unending love for his daughter continued strong to his last day. As a young man Digger’s passions were fishing, sports and work. As an older man his passions turned to spending time with people and loving life. Facebook became a great source of joy for Digger as he kept himself busy monitoring the comings and goings of his world. A great man was lost to the world on March 18th. Digger touched the lives of many people in many positives ways. Digger we will miss you. The family will host a Celebration of Life on Friday, March 31, 2017, at 10:00 am at Surrey Sport Complex, #110-16555 Fraser Hwy., Surrey, BC. To Digger’s friends in Kamloops, who are unable to attend the Celebration in Surrey, the family would like to extend a big thank you for being a part of Digger’s life. He loved his time living in Kamloops but it is time for him to go home now.

So, if you love me, even a little bit, Let me know it while I am living So I can treasure it.
