A Kamloops man was deported to his native Pakistan earlier this month for failing to tell Canadian officials that his brother was an alleged international terrorist charged in an Islamabad hotel bombing. Aitizaz Ud Din Syed, 29, originally came to B.C. in 2013 on a student visa, but had been working at a tech company in Kamloops during the last year. He was arrested in January by the Canada Border Services Agency for misrepresenting information on his visa application almost four years earlier. Syed’s older brother, Ibrar Ud Din Syed, was the alleged mastermind of the September 2008
Marriott Hotel bombing in Islamabad that left 55 dead and hundreds wounded. Al-Qaeda was believed to be behind the deadly attack. There is currently an Interpol warrant for Ibrar Syed’s arrest, although his younger sibling told the Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) recently that his brother likely died in an air raid about two years after the hotel bombing. Syed also told the IRB that he didn’t realize he had to list a dead sibling on his visa application, but admitted he later learned he should have done so and didn’t notify authorities at that time. CBSA official Jeffrey Wicharuk told IRB member Trent Cook during a Jan. 6 hearing
Health Care Assistant
that the agency had learned of “derogatory information” about Syed from the RCMP and CSIS that might make him inadmissible to Canada on security grounds. Wicharuk asked for more time to get the information, which had to be declassified or redacted. Lawyer Antya Schrack said the younger Syed “has never been associated with any terrorist organization. “He’s not been a member of any political party . . . has never been politically involved. He did not know the name of the organization his brother is supposed to have belonged to and heard of it the first time when I showed it to him,” Schrack told Cook. See KAMLOOPS, A2

Kamloops man sent to Pakistan on March 2 pened and he wasn’t able to return to work. And that is pretty much it.� Syed remained in
detention throughout January and February and appeared before other IRB members seeking to be freed from custody each time. Wicharuk told one of the hearings that there were concerns “Mr. Syed may share views that are similar to that of his deceased brother.� There was a suspicious photo of men in camouflage on his cellphone when he was arrested, Wicharuk said. Investigators also found a YouTube video he uploaded of a Taliban leader. In addition, there were some large cash transactions that the CBSA asked the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre to review. But Wicharuk also said the video, the photos and the financial transactions are not “the lynchpins of the minister’s suspicion at all. “It really lies with information we’ve been seeking to declassify and interview Mr. Syed about.� By the time Syed’s fourth IRB hearing took place Feb. 23, board member Geoff Rempel expressed frustration at the vague allegations against Syed and the fact none of the classified evidence had yet been presented to the IRB. He said it was unfair to keep Syed in jail with no evidence presented about the security threat he might face. “The Minister [of Public Safety] has used these various issues to justify their suspicion and justify continued detention, but hasn’t apparently followed up on them and that’s of significant concern,� Rempel said. Syed couldn’t respond to the allegations since the CBSA “hasn’t interviewed him or dealt with him in the course of the last month with respect to any of this suspicion,� Rempel said. He ordered Syed released, but the CBSA immediately appealed to the Federal Court to set aside Rempel’s order. Syed, meanwhile, had agreed to return to Pakistan and to remain behind bars in Canada until his deportation could be arranged. He was returned to Pakistan on March 2.

The province has ordered immediate shutdown of a historic Interior fishing resort near Kamloops due to risk of a landslide, a spokeswoman said Monday. Arvid and Audrey Hoglund left Pinaus Lake Resort on March 16. They cannot return unless given special permission by the province, said family friend Anita Sthankiya. The lake is located about 10 kilometres south of Falkland, off Highway 97C, the route that connects Kamloops to Vernon. The couple, both in their late 70s, took over the resort in 1986. Sthankiya said the lease expired in 2014 and the couple has been year-toyear on renewals with the province. Provincial authorities were alerted to ground movement by the couple due to shifting of buildings. “It wasn’t enough to do any serious damage. Doorjambs would be out of place, that sort of thing,” Sthankiya said.
The couple has started a gofundme account to pay for remediation costs. They are required under law to remove improvements, a cost estimated to be as much as $500,000. Their only income came from the resort. The couple has been forced to move into temporary housing in Armstrong. Sthankiya said there is some suggestion earth movement may have been caused through extensive logging by Tolko Industries Ltd. and the ministry’s own logging program. She said the couple is working with the ministry to extend the time to remove improvements. Property, including cabins, is slated to be out by April 28. “That’s just not feasible,” she said. Customers who kept recreational units, along with built-up infrastructure, will also be required to remove them. Sthankiya said those arrangements must also be made in advance. “No one can be on the land,” she said. “The family can’t even go there themselves.”

The Tk’emlups Indian Band is imposing a new levy that largely mirrors the property purchase tax that has for decades been law in B.C. The band has officially distributed notice it will pass a property transfer tax law that must also be approved by the federal First Nations Tax Commission. B.C.’s property purchase tax (PPT) does not apply to reserve lands because they are federally governed. The band is proposing a law similar to the provincial legislation. The provincial law, originally brought in by Social Credit premier Bill Vander Zalm in the late 1980s, levies a one per cent tax on the first $200,000 of purchase price of a property and two per cent thereafter. The tax on a $500,000 home, for example, is $8,000. The province ups the tax to three per cent on market values more than $2 million, but the band will not adopt that higher rate. The band also appears not to have adopted a recent change by the B.C. Liberal government exempting all new homes worth less than $750,000 from the tax. That would appear to put new Sun
Rivers homes at a tax disadvantage. A TIB administrator responsible for the program was not available for comment as of KTW press deadline. Wayne Vollrath, president of the Mariposa neighbourhood and a member of the Community of Sun Rivers Owner Association, said the move comes as little surprise. “They were sending signals it was coming down the road,” he said, noting imposition of the tax will level the playing field between the rest of the city and Sun Rivers. “It is paid by the purchasers coming in,” he said, acknowledging it could have some affect on the amount taken in by sellers if the tax weighs on final sale prices. The PPT brought in a record $1.5 billion for the provincial government in the most recent budget year. Revenue from Sun Rivers sales will go to the TIB. A fact sheet distributed by the band said that revenue will be spent on sewer, water, snow removal, bylaws, community development and capital projects. The band did not estimate its yearly estimated windfall from the new levy. Exemptions will include leases under 30 years. First-time buyers who qualify will be given the same break as on the provincial tax.

With thousands of partiers expected to descend on Sun Peaks a week from today, police say they have been working with organizers of the Snowbombing Canada festival and expect things to run smoothly. The festival is slated to take over Sun Peaks Resort between April 6 and April 10, headlined by Kaskade and Ludacris. “We just want to cover up safety and make sure everybody has a good time,” Kamloops rural RCMP Staff Sgt. Doug Aird told KTW, noting the detachment
is bringing in Mounties from Chase and Vernon to help police the event. But, Aird said, he doesn’t anticipate many issues. “We’re going to have eight members there a day and that will be tied in with their security,” he said. “I believe they have 41 guys for security. I think they’ll probably police it pretty good themselves.” Aird said his main concerns surround tainted drugs and drunk driving. Officers at the festival will be equipped with the Naloxone antidote in the event of an overdose. As for impaired drivers, Aird said his
detachment is working to have Alexa’s Bus, the RCMP’s mobile road safety unit named after a four-year-old girl killed by a drunk driver, attend the festival. “If they run it the way they say they want to, there’s probably not going to be a lot of vehicle traffic,” Aird said, noting most attendees will be staying at Sun Peaks and many others are expected to shuttle to and from the community. “We’re just up there mainly for presence, to make sure there are no issues,” he said. “We just want to make sure everybody’s abiding by the laws and there isn’t open liquor everywhere.”

The Crown applied to declare Ferguson a dangerous offender. Last year during the hearing, however, he fired his two lawyers. He remains unrepresented but the court appointed a lawyer to intercede on his behalf. Due to his behaviour, both in court and in jail, Dley ordered a psychiatric assessment. A psychiatrist determined he is not able to understand the proceedings. The finding by the court means Ferguson will move from the correctional system to supervision by the B.C. Review Board and will be housed in a forensic psychiatric facility. The board will determine if and when he is fit to resume the dangerous offender hearing. At an earlier court proceeding, Crown lawyer Sarah Firestone said Ferguson is locked up 23 hours a day at KRCC and socially isolates himself, “despite efforts by corrections staff.” He skips meals and is often uncommunicative, even with a counsellor sent to check on him. He has also refused medication at times. There is no indication Ferguson was violent in jail recently. Nonetheless, he has at times been guarded by two sheriffs in the courthouse and often wears leg shackles. In May 2013, he pleaded guilty to three counts stemming from an incident in Merritt the previous November, in which a woman was held against her will and assaulted with a laptop charging cord. He later tried unsuccessfully to change that plea. Ferguson has a lengthy criminal history dating back to 1997, with more than 80 convictions between B.C., Ontario and Nova Scotia. He told court he’s spent 18 of the last 20 years in jail. Some of his convictions stem from assaults and riots while behind bars.

HEED THE DANGER OF ODOURLESS GAS
T
he tragic deaths last week of a family in the Venables Valley near Ashcroft has crushed the community. Harvey Volaine and his wife, Melissa Penner, as well as their two children, 10-year-old Kaylex and seven-year-old Ay, died from carbon monoxide poisoning in their home. The B.C. Coroners Service did not identify the source of the carbon monoxide gas, but said it is produced during the burning of any fossil fuel such as wood, gasoline, natural or propane gas. The coroners service said the use of a carbon monoxide detector is a reliable method of early detection of the gas in a home, but does not replace the need for regular, qualified servicing of all gas appliances and wood-burning stoves. Nobody knows the value of a carbon monoxide detector better than Kamloops parents Monique and Kyle Ruppel. The Dufferin couple’s baby, Celia, woke up in the middle of the night in January 2016, alerting all to a carbon monoxide leak. Thankfully, mom, dad, baby and four cats and two dogs managed to escape the home before being overcome by the odourless, colourless gas. There is grief in the Venables Valley and there will always be gratitude in the Ruppel household. Anyone who suspects exposure to carbon monoxide should immediately leave the residence and get medical help. For those reading this editorial and stories associated with its subject matter, check to see if you have carbon monoxide detectors in your home. If you don’t, go out now and buy them. As Kyle Ruppel said last year after his family’s ordeal: “Don’t put it off as one of those things you can do later. It’s one of those things you need to do, and you need to do it today — because tomorrow might be too late.”

Standing up to hatred
A
s a child, I used to bristle when the PA system would squeal into action and the school day would begin with a scratchy record playing the national anthem, followed by a recitation of The Lord’s Prayer. I stood, like all the rest of us youngsters did, and tried to sing along — not for patriotic reasons, but because this is what the teacher told us we had to do. And I bowed my head as they all recited the prayer, but most times wondered what it was doing as part of the school day. Even today, decades later, I don’t sing along with any public rendition of O Canada — partly because flowers wilt and dogs run away if I break into song and partly because I have no patriotic link to a song. Likewise, I don’t take part in toasts to the queen. She’s probably a nice lady, she certainly has great longevity genes and cool hats, but I don’t recognize her as having any dominion over me or my country. Those are simply my beliefs, ones I know some share and to which others are already mentally writing the condemnatory post they plan on attaching to this column in its online form. My best friend works for a company whose business philosophy includes God as a key supplier to its successes. God also apparently audits staff meetings — and my friend, who does not believe, respectfully keeps quiet. I like to think of this as the Canadian way. We are a tolerant, accepting society, a mosaic of

LEVEL cultures, as my teachers taught me decades ago, rather than the melting pot below the border, one that is based on assimilation and sameness rather than acceptance and differences. None of that has been seen in recent school board discussions in the Peel district in Ontario and it speaks to the new reality slowly creeping across our country. For 20 years, that school board has allowed Muslim students to take some time on Fridays and go into another room and pray. It didn’t disrupt teachings and there were no bomb-making workshops. It was simply acknowledging a basic tenet of a different culture’s beliefs. Last week, however, the issue blew up to the point police were called to clear the audience out of a board meeting that saw a man stand up, start yelling at the trustees and others in the room as he ripped pages out of the Qur’an. Among the comments you can hear being yelled out, should you wish to watch the 46-second clip shot by someone in the audience and provided to the CBC, you will
hear people yelling Canada “is a Christian country” and that the Qur’an is “a book of hate.” It was disgusting and those who uttered such hateful words should be ashamed. Over the insanity belching out of these bigots, one can also hear the equally loud voice of a woman, Christina Dixon, who has a child attending school in the district, calling them out. “Shame on you,” she repeatedly throws at the Qur’an ripper. “How dare you say these hateful things?” We’ve somehow stumbled into a time of fear hatred and bigotry — and we can’t just blame it on the golfer living in the White House. It’s a sentiment that can be found on virtually every continent, this wave of self-entitlement mixed with hatred of those who are different. Dixon’s actions inspired another person in the audience. Syed Imam shot the video on his phone but eventually stopped and stood up to confront those making the offensive statements. In doing so, he may have shown us all how to deal with this kind of hatred, should we encounter it. “This is not where I grew up,” he told the CBC. “I grew up in a society where everybody was accepting of each other. “If she wasn’t there, I wouldn’t have said anything at all. It really only does take one person to stand up against a number of bigots and racists.” I’d stand up for that long before I’d stand up to salute the queen. dale@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @mdalebass

YOUR OPINION LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
DIGIT DISGRACE SHOULD LEAD TO RESIGNATION Editor: Re: KTW’s March 17 article on the controversy surrounding Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers after he posted a photo on his Facebook of him giving the middle finger to binders housing KGHM Ajax’s mining application (‘Bird is the word as Cavers feels the heat’): This is not the first time Cavers has got himself into hot water over extremely stupid comments, actions and or gestures and he continues to demonstrate his complete lack of respect for the opinions of others. In September 2015, he used profanity — the “F” word — against senior city officials and fellow councillors and was threatened with censure from city council if he continued with such behaviour. Then, during a council meeting, Cavers stormed out of chambers because he did not get his way. Now he continues his classless acts as demonstrated by giving the finger to environmental reports prepared for the proposed Ajax copper and gold mine south of Kamloops. Cavers has clearly voiced his objection to Ajax and he is entitled to his opinion, as is everyone. However, his opinion is based on his
Kamloops Coun. Donovan Cavers gives Ajax the finger in a photo that he has since deleted from his Facebook page.
emotion, not on facts, and for him to “finger” reports on record shows a complete lack of respect for professionals and their opinions. The reports represent thousands of hours of hard work done by engineers and other professionals, people who spent five to seven years in university obtaining necessary degrees to be professionals in their fields of work. These reports represent facts, not emotions, and Cavers’ act implies professionals do not know anything and that he is far more intelligent
than any of them. How ignorant can one be? And, instead of accepting responsibility for his inappropriate behaviour and apologizing, Cavers tries to throw Mayor Peter Milobar under the bus by claiming the mayor is engaging in pre-election posturing as both are candidates in the May 9 provincial election. Milobar and Cavers are not even running in the same ridings. In December, Shane Gottfriedson, then-B.C. regional chief of the Assembly of First Nations, posted a photo on Instagram showing his bare legs with a lips and googley-eyes icon just above his knees. It was an inappropriate action demonstrating complete disrespect for all women, yet Gottfriedson took the high road. He apologized for his inappropriate behaviour and resigned his position as regional chief. Maybe it is time Cavers did the same — accept responsibility for his inappropriate gestures and resign as councillor. He can take a few years to grow up and try to mature, then run for office again if he dares or wants to. Ernie Beadle Kamloops
VARIABLE SPEED LIMITS NEED SOME ATTENTION Editor: Having driven the Coquihalla Highway many times and, most recently, on March 6, I am still shaking my head at the ridiculous speed at which some people choose to travel in adverse conditions. Perhaps these individuals are just paying attention to the safe maximum speed limits posted throughout the variable speed corridor between the Britton Creek rest area and the top of the Portia hill. When I drove northbound
through that area at about 3 p.m., the pavement was basically bare, but it was snowing lightly, it was foggy and there was slush on both road edges. This, coupled with reduced lane width due to snowplowing and limited space for actual snow removal, made the posted safe speed limit of 120 km/h seem absolutely crazy. I don’t know if monitoring of the corridor is completely electronic or if a human is watching the conditions on a screen somewhere, but more
attention needs to be paid to the road conditions and safe speed limits need to be adjusted accordingly. I also noticed a complete lack of lane markings, which poses a huge safety issue. I understand Ministry of Highways decided a few years ago to discontinue the use of oil-based paint for lane marking, tagging it as environmentally damaging. In its place we have lanes painted with a safe and friendly substance that looks good for per-
haps six months before it begins to deteriorate to the point where, during fall and winter, the markings are invisible. The road bed to which this lane paint is being applied contains petroleum products and chemicals on a grand scale, all of which leach into the surrounding soil 24/7 — yet the ministry is concerned about the type of paint applied to the surface? I don’t get it. Chris Jones Kamloops

Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said it began at about 6:30 p.m. when an officer pulled over a suspected impaired driver on Halston Avenue on the Tk’emlups Indian Band reserve. While the Mountie was speaking with the driver and four passengers, a second vehicle with
two occupants stopped in the fast lane. Its driver got out and began yelling that the occupants of the first vehicle had firearms. Those in the first vehicle levied the same accusations at the driver of the second car that stopped, with drivers and passengers of both yelling at each other. Shelkie said a third, unrelated vehicle then slammed into the back of the second car stopped in the fast lane. Four RCMP officers responded to back up the initial Mountie.
Shelkie said no guns were found. “It appears that the people in the separate vehicles previously knew each other and were under the incorrect assumption that they were currently carrying firearms,” she said in a statement. Shelkie said the driver of the first vehicle was issued a 24-hour suspension for impaired driving. There were no injuries from the collision of the second and third vehicles and no other arrests.
Dial-a-doper busted by police Police seized cocaine and cash after arresting a Falkland man earlier this month during a drugenforcement blitz on the North Shore. Cpl. Jodi Shelkie said the RCMP’s street level drug unit conducted enforcement in the 300-block of Tranquille Road on March 15 and March 16.
Trafficking charges against the 39-year-old were recommended to the Crown. Seized were more than 20 grams of cocaine, $3,000 in cash and cellphones. Police say the stash is an indication of a dial-adope operation.
Rockslide closes Highway 1 Highway 1 in the Fraser Canyon, about one kilometre north of Yale, remained closed yesterday afternoon as a result of a rockslide on Sunday night. The Ministry of Transportation has tasked Emil Anderson Maintenance crews with the
job of clearing debris from the highway while the ministry’s geotechnical team has identified a number of rocks that are loose and may come down at any time. Clearing of the debris will begin once rock scaling is completed.
Some vehicles were damaged as a result of the slide, but no injuries were reported. Highways 5, 3, 8 and 99 remain open between the Interior and the Coast. Go online to drivebc.ca for updates.

Police probe report of radicalized airport workers THE CANADIAN PRESS
MONTREAL — Police are taking all necessary steps to ensure public safety after a report suggested some workers at Montreal’s airport
may have been radicalized, Quebec’s public security minister said yesterday. Martin Coiteux said Montreal police, the Quebec provincial force and the RCMP
are working together to monitor the situation. “The first thing I did was to assure myself that police services were following the situation closely and that was confirmed to me,’’
Coiteux said in Quebec City. “Following closely means taking all means to assure the public’s safety.’’ A French-language TV network reported
LETHAL DRUGS ARE out there
Tuesday that two airport employees with access to restricted areas were found to have shown signs of radicalization. TVA said a police investigation found the workers had watched pro-ISIS propaganda and that one possessed books on military-calibre assault weapons. The network reported one of the employees has since left the airport, while the other has been reassigned away from secured areas.
Montreal’s airport authority issued a statement Tuesday saying the airport is secure and that it had not been informed of any specific threat. Aeroports de Montreal listed a number of measures in place, including security personnel, surveillance systems, specialized response teams, an emergency measures co-ordination centre and “very effective’’ emergency plans. “Montreal-Trudeau airport is unquestion-
ably among the most secure locations there is,’’ the statement read. The airport authority also responded to a segment on the TV report that appeared to show an employee with an access card boarding an empty plane without being searched. Employees who work in restricted areas must carry a pass and undergo “a total security investigation,’’ as well as regular monitoring and random searches, Aeroports de Montreal said.
Find out how you can save a life. Every day, people are losing their lives to overdoses in BC. These deaths are preventable. Many illegal drugs, including party drugs, have been found to contain deadly fentanyl. And even more toxic carfentanil is now being detected in BC. Not using drugs is the best defence — using alone is the greatest risk. If you use drugs or know someone who does, help is available.

Spring into Kootenay’s hidden gem LUSSIER RIVER HOT SPRINGS CAN BE FOUND DOWN A NARROW, DUSTY LOGGING ROAD TERESA CLINE SPECIAL TO KTW teresathetraveler.com
I
believe if it is located at the end of a dusty gravel road, it is probably worth seeing. This is no doubt true for one of the Kootenay’s most precious gems. To get to Lussier River Hot Springs, one must drive 17 kilometres down a dusty, and in places narrow and scary, logging road. But the reward at the end is well worth the white knuckles. Warm water flows from the rocks along the bank and is collected into man-made rock pools creating a little piece of heaven on earth. The springs are located a short
distance from the parking area. But for those wanting to also enjoy a nice hike, the North Shore Trail further up the road at the east end of Alces Lake provides a two-kilometre hike through a Douglas fir forest and views of Whiteswan Lake and the surrounding mountains. For those wanting to stay overnight, there are five campgrounds in Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park that offer campsites on a firstcome first-serve basis. This is a popular park in the summer. It is best to come in the off-season to increase your chances of getting a campsite. Teresa Cline is a local travel writer. For more, go online to teresathetraveler.com.
HOW TO GET THERE Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park is located 22 kilometres southeast of the Village of Canal Flats, the nearest community. Access is from Highway 93/95. Turn east 4.5 kilometres south of Canal Flats onto the gravel Whiteswan Forest Service Road. Whiteswan Lake is about 25 kilometres from the highway. The hot springs are near the west boundary of the park at kilometre 17.5.
Lussier River Hot Springs are situated in the Kootenays, with hiking through a Douglas fir forest and surrounding mountains at Alces Lake. Five campgrounds are in the area, but the park is popular in the summer.

The club went on to earn a silver medal at the Canadian Collegiate Athletic Association national championship in St. John. “Seb was a captain and a leader of our program during his playing career at TRU,” WolfPack head coach John Antulov said. “Although a fierce competitor and winner on the field, he was a great person off the field who made all feel
welcome, especially the younger players who just joined our program. “He was admired and respected for his courage and strength as he battled this disease and left a lasting impression on me and all those he touched that will never be forgotten.” A celebration of Gardner’s life is planned for April 8.

WOLFPACK BASEBALL ATHLETIC PROFILE
Tyler Hodder
Fort McMurray, AB (Father Patrick Mercredi High) 6’4” • Pitcher 2nd year (Criminology) Tyler had a memorable first season as he was a first team CCBC All-star along with having the league’s best earned run average and most wins. He went 7-0 with an E.R.A. of 1.77. He pitched three complete games, appeared in 51 innings, surrendering 48 hits and striking out 37. He played in the Western Major Baseball League last summer with the Fort McMurray Giants. The Giants had to play out of Edmonton because of the fires at Fort Mac. Sadly, Tyler’s parents lost their home in that disaster. Tyler enjoys basketball and says he can ‘make it rain occasionally.” He says his performance in 2016 was his fondest and greatest sports moment. He played minor baseball with current teammate Josh Iannetti. His biggest influence has been his family especially what they went through with the wildfire. Tyler enjoys country music with Luke Bryan being his favorite singer. His favorite movie is “The Grinch”. His favorite community event locally was helping with Christmas Amalgamated because it helped the less fortunate. If you see Tyler at Karaoke he would likely be singing Rhanna’s hit “Umbrella.”

Tracking changes to Chevy’s smallest SUV ANN JOB
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
C
hevrolet has given its popular Trax a more contemporary look, a new instrument panel and more safety features for 2017, and the early reviews are good, as it continues to set U.S. sales records in the fast-growing small SUV market. The five-seat Trax registered its best January and February this year and the sales gains followed record U.S. sales of 79,016 for 2016. The 14-foot-long Trax is Chevrolet’s smallest and most fuel-efficient SUV, with federal government fuel-economy ratings of up to 25 mpg in city driving and 33 mpg on highways for a twowheel drive model. It is also Chevy’s lowest-priced SUV, with a starting manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $21,895 for a base 2017 Trax LS with automatic transmission and two-wheel drive. That includes the destination charge and it is $700 more than last year’s base model. The starting MSRP for a 2017 Trax with all-

wheel drive is $23,895, up from $22,695 for the 2016 version. The 2017 Trax is nicely outfitted. Standard equipment on every model includes rear-vision camera, Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity, remote keyless entry, power windows, doors and outside mirrors, audio controls on the steering wheel, Apple CarPlay and Android
Auto compatibility, and two USB ports and an auxiliary jack. The Trax also has a few features not usually found on other small SUVs, such as 4G LTE connectivity with Wi-Fi hotspot. It comes with 10 air bags, including rearseat side thorax bags and front-seat knee air bags. That is more than any other 2017 small SUV, including the premium BMW X1.
The Trax also earned five out of five stars in the federal government’s overall safety rating after frontal and side crash tests. Consumer Reports magazine predicts the 2017 Trax will have much better-thanaverage reliability. The vehicle’s dimensions didn’t change from 2016. Cargo space behind the secondrow seats is 18.7 cubic feet or less than half
the cargo space that’s behind the second-row seats in a 2017 Toyota RAV4. The Trax’s front-passenger seatback folds flat to help accommodate long items that slide in from the hatchback. In addition, frontseat passengers have a comfortable 40.2 inches of legroom, while back-seat riders enjoy longer-length seat cushions, 35.7
inches of legroom and nearly 39 inches of headroom. The Trax’s solitary engine — a 1.4-litre, double overhead cam, turbocharged four-cylinder — is unchanged. It’s peak torque is 148 foot-pounds at 1,850 rpm and it generates 138 horsepower. During a test drive of a front-wheel drive Trax, the SUV sometimes struggled to respond to flat out, hard acceleration on highways and could sound buzzy going uphill. The only transmission is a six-speed automatic that managed power mostly smoothly. But the test-driven model averaged only 23.7 mpg in city and highway travel, rather than the 28 mpg estimated by the federal government. For 2017, Chevrolet smoothed the front end by eliminating the heavy-looking bar across the grille. Now, the Trax has Chevy’s new dual-port grille that pushes the larger grille opening down low for a more attractive look. Inside, the big upgrade is what’s in the dashboard — new instrument panel gauges and a new seven-inch driver infor-
mation centre. Many drivers likely will notice the red needles in the tachometer and speedometer point straight down to the floor when at zero, which is different from many other vehicles. The test-driven Trax was a top-of-the-line Premier model with a rich-looking black and brandy-colored leatherette on the seats. This combination made the Trax look more expensive than its $27,290 window sticker. But the lack of a covered centre console between the front seats and no middle head restraint in the back seats were noticeable. The Trax doesn’t have the most refined suspension, but it’s still an easy-to-drive vehicle whose smaller dimensions make it nimble and easy to park. Passengers sit up a bit from the pavement to be able to see above or through cars and other SUVs in front. Trax models from the 2017 model year were among 3.6 million General Motors Co. vehicles recalled last September because front air bags or seat belt pretensioners might not deploy during a crash.

Obituaries & In Memoriam 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, 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.
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.
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). Condolences may be expressed at: www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Leone was predeceased by husband Edwin Utne, father Ervin Coldiron, mother Alice Coldiron and sister Louise Gaborieau. Leone’s family wishes to thank Dr. Chip Bantock and all the wonderful staff at Overlander Extended Care Hospital for the excellent care she received over the past 6 years. A Celebration of Leone’s Life will be held on Saturday, April 8, 2017 at 10:00am at Schoenings Funeral Home, 513 Seymour St, Kamloops.
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.

Memory Portrait on Canvas
First Memorial Funeral Service Elsie Rosalie Ring
Leone was born on April 9, 1918, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, the first of five daughters born to Ervin and Alice (Marcheldon) Coldiron. She grew up on the family farm in Witchekan, Saskatechwan, riding horses and caring for the animals. She married Roger Williams and together they had three children, Alice, Willard and Ervin. After moving to Vancouver, B.C. in 1947, Leone worked as a seamstress at the Pearson Sanatorium for a short time before moving to Vancouver General Hospital, where she worked as a housekeeper for 25 years. It was at VGH where she fell in love with Ed Utne, whom she married in 1973. Together, Leone and Ed loved working in their garden and travelling across Canada and the USA. After Ed’s passing, Leone moved to Kamloops, B.C. to be close to her children and grandchildren.

Leone Marie Utne passed away peacefully in Kamloops on March 22, 2017 with her loving family by her side.
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.

“GOODBYE TOPPER” 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-inlaw 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-in-law 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. 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. Paul was a proud member of the Southwest Business Association for a number of years and in 1999, he made a career change and became a successful realtor with RE/MAX. While at RE/MAX, Paul was well- known for his “Talk to Topper” ads and for his presence at Home Shows and Santa Claus parades with his Hummer, Smart Car and $100 dollar bill business cards. He was recognized for his marketing and advertising creativity and was proud to be one of Canada’s top producing realtors. In September of 2000, Paul and Melanie welcomed their fourth son Riley. 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).

After graduation from Amritsar Medical School in the first (highest) division in 1958, Dr. Joneja moved to the USA for post-graduate studies. He specialised in Neurology, and later added Psychiatry as a separate specialty. He studied in hospitals and universities in San Francisco, California; Albany, New York; Ann Arbor, Michigan; and Ottawa, Ontario. In 1965 Dr. Joneja moved to British Columbia when he was appointed Head of Neurology at Riverview Hospital in New Westminster. Deciding to expand his practice into the community, he opened a private medical service at Lions Gate Hospital in North Vancouver. Shortly thereafter Dr. Joneja recognised that the Interior of British Columbia was very poorly served in advanced medical fields, especially in his own specialties of Neurology and Psychiatry. Initially he provided Neurology consultations in Kamloops two days per week at weekends, flying to the Interior each Friday evening after a week of full days of practice in Vancouver, returning on Sunday nights to resume his regular medical duties. While in Vancouver, Raj met his future wife, Dr. Janice Vickerstaff, who had recently arrived from England to take up a position as Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology at the University of British Columbia. Eventually, Dr. Joneja realised that two days a week were insufficient to serve a community such as Kamloops and surrounding area and in 1969 he moved to Kamloops to provide a full-time service as the only neurologist in the Interior of British Columbia as well as one of only two psychiatrists. Consequently, he was on-call and available to his patients and colleagues 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Dr. Joneja never refused his help and expertise when called upon, day or night, for many long years. To manage his vast practice he eventually required two full-time secretary/receptionists in his offices on Victoria Street, and later, Nicola Street.
Whenever he could find a free moment, Raj loved to play tennis. His many trophies bear witness to his skill in the sport – at least in local competitions. He was notorious for his love of parties and was never happier than when hosting a happy gathering of friends and colleagues in his home. He was particularly fond of costume parties and the annual Joneja Hallowe’en masquerade was immensely popular. Many will recall Raj’s mischievous side and times when he would take advantage of moments of opportunity to get a laugh. Raj had a constant desire to learn. His interests led him to try activities as varied as music, cooking and motorcycling, though he struggled with anything aquatic – including boats and garden hoses. For many years he was a member of the Rotary Club of Kamloops and was made a Paul Harris Fellow in recognition of his support of their project for Polio prevention. In retirement, Raj was intensely interested in many aspects of science, especially astronomy and physics. He was a member of the Kamloops Astronomy Society and owned a number of complicated telescopes and star-tracking equipment, which he happily assembled and operated at his home and at the family cottage on Shuswap Lake. He also loved photographing wildlife, scenery and people, and never travelled far without his numerous cameras and related equipment. Despite his love of parties, in private Raj was a very modest man. In accordance with his explicit verbal and written instructions, a private cremation took place on Wednesday, March 15, 2017 and there will not be a Memorial Service. Dr. Joneja is survived by his wife Janice; children Sunil (Monica) and Nalini; grandchildren Katelyn and Michael. He also leaves a loving family including an uncle, brothers, sisters, nephews and nieces in India and the USA.

Mary Theresa Catherine Oatway March 30, 1955 – March 24, 2017
Mary Theresa “Terry” Catherine Oatway (Lavigne) passed away peacefully on March 24th with her family by her side. Terry leaves to mourn her loving husband Mark, and their sons Sean and Shane. She will be forever missed by her mother Lois Lavigne, mother-in-law Audrey Oatway, sisters Lisa Russell (Mike) and Lori Miles (Barry), sister-in-law Shannon Oatway (Harold Borges) and nieces and nephew, Maddi, Tess and Brandon. She is predeceased by her father Rolly Lavigne and father-in-law Bill Oatway. Terry always inspired others with her strength, compassion, beautiful smile and contagious laugh. Anyone who knew her can recall at least one occasion when she gave something without asking for anything in return; whether it was advice, a helping hand, a laugh to brighten your day, or simply a smile and part of her strength when you needed it. Terry was blessed to share 42 years with Mark, the love of her life and best friend. Terry took pride in working alongside Mark to build their family business, Oatway Contracting. Starting from humble beginnings, they worked together to build a company that was known for quality work, strong business relationships, and where employees were family. Anyone who worked with Terry had great respect for her integrity, work ethic, and professionalism. Most importantly, Terry loved her family. Whether it was taking her boys to what must have felt like every single hockey arena in western Canada, trips to a sandy beach for some sun and a salty beer, or just relaxing at the cabin, nothing made Terry happier than spending time with family. As a wife, daughter, sister, mother and aunt, Terry’s presence will be deeply missed by all who loved her. Those whose lives she touched will always remember her sense of humor, generous spirit and kind heart. And while she lies in peaceful sleep, Her memory we shall always keep.

ONE FINAL GIFT
Teresa was born in Regina, SK. When her Dad was transferred to Kamloops in 1981 she lived the rest of her life here. She was one of the first students of Aberdeen Elementary School where her love of theatre was born. She attended John Peterson Junior High and Graduated from Kamloops Senior Secondary in 1991. From there, with a scholarship, she attended Studio 58 Theatre School in Vancouver for three years. Her love for suffering souls drove her to pursue missionary work in the Bronx, NY, Baton Rouge, LO, Gallop, New Mexico, Boston, MA, and Alexandria, VA. Returning home she acquired her B.S.W. and set her heart and vision on troubled children and youth. In 2015 she began her Master’s Degree in Counselling and Psychology passing the theory courses with excellence. Halfway through her Practicum, Teresa succombed to the compassion and work ethic she courageously fought to maintain.
Remember now the happy times The family ties we shared. Don’t leave my resting place unmarked As though you never cared.
