Eight per cent rise in property values THAT’S THE AVERAGE INCREASE, ACCORDING TO BC ASSSESSMENT AUTHORITY JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

Kamloops households will see an average of an eight per cent increase in property values, according to values released this week by the BC Assessment Authority.

The 2019 assessments are in the mail and were made public online on Wednesday.

“The trend was very similar from what we saw a year ago to what we’re seeing today,” BC Assessment deputy assessor Graham Held said.

Single-family dwellings and condos in Kamloops are up eight per cent, with the average house rising from $397,550 in 2018 to $431,000 in 2019 and condos bumping from $229,500 to $248,000. Year-over-year increases are due to supply and demand. Assessments are based on B.C.’s real estate market as of July 1 the year prior.

Last year, fewer houses sold during that time in Kamloops than in the two previous years.

“We’re down to just about the 2015 level for sales,” Held said.

Industrial/commercial and apartment values also rose, though not as quickly as single-family and condo assessments. The majority of commercial properties increased by five per cent, Held said.

About 1,350 property owners in the Thompson region received notices in December warning

Will growth impact tax hike?

For the answer to that question, turn to Page A5

their assessments would be higher than normal.

The highest increase amount was unavailable. The number of notices, however, was down from 1,500 issued last year.

The Thompson region has more than 72,000 properties.

“The typical property was moving in a very tight range from 2017 to 2018,” Held said.

The top-three valued homes in Kamloops are located in Aberdeen and Juniper Ridge. Held, however, said neighbourhoods did not experience significant variation. Barnhartvale saw the smallest increase, at about five per cent, while Juniper jumped about 12 per cent.

“So those sort of bookend the neighbourhoods in the City of Kamloops and everything is sort of falling in that narrow range,” Held said.

The Thompson region increased overall, from $27 billion last year to $29.5 billion in 2019.

Sun Peaks property values spiked. Average single-family homes in the resort community increased 18 per cent this year, to an average of $847,000 compared to $718,000 in 2018, and condos rose 23 per cent, from an average of $361,000 to $443,000.

In B.C., real estate was valued at nearly $2 trillion, with values rising overall by 7.5 per cent this year. The highest-valued property in the province is the $73.1-million decade-old home in Kitsilano, reportedly home to Lululemon founder Chip Wilson. The house decreased in value from nearly $79 million last year.

Meanwhile, Kelowna’s top residential property was valued at $10.5 million and Kamloops’ priciest home, located at 1490 Westerdale Dr., followed at $2.7 million.

Property assessments impact property taxes.

If a home rises by more than the average, homeowners can expect to take more of the tax burden and vice versa if a property increases by less than the average.

Those who wish to dispute their property assessments can contact BC Assessment by calling 250-376-6281. The office is at 805 Renfrew Ave. in North Kamloops.

A plethora of information, including a searchable database of this year’s property assessments, is also available online at bcassessment.ca.

Appeals go to an independent property assessment review panel. Notices of complaints must be filed by Jan. 31. The review process wraps up in mid-March.

Less than two per cent of property owners typically appeal in B.C., with about half of those going to the review panel.

On-street Parking Rates Effective January 1, 2019, on-street parking rates will see a moderate increase, as outlined in the 2018 amendment of Traffic Bylaw No. 23-30.

The increase will only affect metered on-street parking, and the new rates are as follows: • $1.50 per hour for the first two hours • $3 for the third hour There are two convenient ways to pay for parking: at any one of the 96 pay stations in the downtown core (via cash or credit card) or by using the new Whoosh! app. The Whoosh! app allows residents to pay for parking from anywhere using a smart phone. There is no additional fee for using the app; drivers pay the same rate with the app as they would pay at the parking kiosk.

Snow and Ice Control on Municipal Properties On first-priority public properties that are maintained

by City crews, snow and ice control is performed between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm whenever snow accumulation exceeds 2.5 cm (1”) or when ice conditions are observed or reported on walkways, entranceways, stairs, and fire exits. Municipal parking lots are cleared when snow accumulation exceeds 7.6 cm (3”). For more information, visit Kamloops.ca/ SnowClearing.

ICE SAFETY Many factors affect ice thickness, including the type of water, location, time of year, and other environmental factors such as the depth of the water, currents, fluctuating water levels, changing air temperature, heat absorption, and shock waves from vehicles travelling on the ice. The colour of the ice can be an indication of its strength. Clear blue ice is strongest, and grey ice is unsafe—grey indicates the presence of water.

• Vehicles reach optimum operating temperatures faster by driving, not idling.

• Excessive idling can affect the life of engine oil.

• Non-engine moving parts (e.g. transmission) warm up by driving moderately, not idling.

Be sure your windows are clear before driving away.

Rescuing another person from ice can be dangerous, and the safest way to perform a rescue is from shore.

If you see someone in trouble on ice, call for help.

Consider whether you can quickly get help from trained professionals (police, firefighters, ambulance) or bystanders. If you can reach the person using a long pole or a branch from shore, lie down and extend the pole to the person.

South Shore, Sun Peaks dominate on Top 10 lists As has been the case for the past several years, the priciest properties within city limits seem to be south of the river, while the region’s most valuable area appears to be north of the water.

As can be seen by the graphic above, eight of the top 10 valued properties in Kamloops are on the south side of the Thompson River.

The top 10 include properties in Barnhartvale, Juniper Ridge, downtown, Valleyview,

Guerin Creek, Sahali, Aberdeen, Batchelor Heights and Westsyde.

Of the top 10 valued properties in the Thompson region, almost half — four — are in Sun Peaks, while Tobiano, Blue River and Quilchena also occupy a spot on the list.

The region’s top 10 valued properties: 1. 5250 Lauder Rd., Quilchena: $2.78 million.

Assessments won’t impact tax hike in 2019 $1.2 MILLION IN TAX GROWTH ALIGNS WITH CITY ESTIMATE JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

City growth isn’t likely to further reduce property taxes.

City of Kamloops corporate services director Kathy Humphrey said early numbers from the BC Assessment Authority reveal a projected $1.2 million in anticipated tax growth.

“We’ve looked at the numbers and basically it’s coming in roughly where we thought,” Humphrey said.

The $1.2 million was deemed a conservative estimate by the city during provisional budget talks.

Growth helps to ease the tax burden on existing taxpay-

ers because more people are essentially splitting the tab at city hall.

The city typically estimates $1 million in growth taxation, Humphrey said.

Kamloops has seen recordsetting construction numbers in the past two years.

BC Assessment’s final figures will not be shored up until midMarch, when an independent review panel concludes the appeals process for property assessments.

Council approved a 2019 provisional tax rate hike of 3.4 per cent, or about $65 for the average assessed residential property.

Supplemental budget items have yet to be discussed by council and the budget will not

be finalized until April.

Humphrey said a reprieve could come when finalizing other numbers in the provisional budget, such as carbon tax estimates.

“We’re hoping that there’s some things that will come down to bring it lower than it is right now,” she said of the provincial property tax hike.

While the average property in Kamloops is expected to increase in assessed value by about eight per cent this year, that does not mean property taxes will rise by that much.

“Where that matters to people is if your house has increased more than the average, you’re probably going to pay more than your share of the tax increase,” Humphrey said.

A well-known Kamloops academic and social activist has died.

Cynthia Ross Friedman — a former biology professor at Thompson Rivers University and opponent of the proposed Ajax mine — died suddenly from an aortic dissection the morning of Dec. 24 while visiting family in Penticton.

She was 47.

“She was a fearless advocate for workers, the environment [and] social justice. She was an activist in the best meaning of that word,” said husband Tom Friedman.

Born in Winnipeg, Ross Friedman studied at the University of Manitoba, where she obtained a PhD in biological sciences in 2002.

In 2004, she moved to Kamloops, where she began teaching at TRU. She left the university in 2017 and was teaching last fall at the University of Alberta and Concordia University of Edmonton.

Friedman, who is president of the Thompson Rivers University Faculty Association, said he first met Cynthia when she started the group, Faculty for the Advancement of Research, when TRU became a full university in 2005.

“I met her briefly then and, within the next year or so, I realized she was this bright spark, so vital and full of life and I immediately felt an attraction to her,” Friedman said.

The two married in 2007.

Ross Friedman’s distinguished academic career included awards for teaching, research and service, along with many publications on dwarf mistletoe — including in the prestigious Nature Communications.

She took satisfaction from working alongside and co-publishing with students and was proud to inspire and mentor young minds, Friedman said.

In 2014, she was inducted into the inaugural cohort of the Royal Society of Canada’s College of New Scholars, Artists and Scientists and was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts in 2016 in recognition of her commitment to social and environmental justice.

Ross Friedman was instrumental in organizing forums and rallying opposition to the proposed Ajax mine through her work with the Kamloops Area Preservation Association.

Dr. Jill Calder, a director of the antiAjax group Kamloops Physicians for a Healthy Environment Society, which partnered with Ross Friedman in advocating against the mine, said she was shocked to hear the news of her passing.

“She had a lot of heart and soul in all of the activities that she did,” Calder said.

“We felt that Cynthia was a colleague, a friend, a resource. She was the quiet, calm behind the scenes and she

could also be in the limelight and say things publicly, which made the rest of us more comfortable to step into that as well.”

Ross Friedman also advocated for workers’ rights, and strongly believed scientists have a duty to effect change through public engagement.

“She wanted a better world,” Friedman said, noting her social activism made a strong impression on people.

Outside of academics and activism, Ross Friedman was an accomplished keyboardist and vocalist, performing both solo and with the Kamloops Latin band Caliente. She was also an avid football fan and a strong supporter of the SPCA. Ross Friedman launched a brief mayoral campaign during the 2017 byelection before stepping aside for health reasons, which were unrelated to what caused her death, Friedman said.

“Her family is going to miss her vitality and her cheerfulness, her sense of humour — all of those wonderful qualities that we’ve lost,” Friedman said.

He said his wife’s death was sudden and unexpected, as she had not been diagnosed with an aortic dissection before her passing.

An aortic dissection is a condition in which there is a tear in the wall of the major artery carrying blood out of the heart.

“There was no indication,” said Friedman, noting the condition can be caused by genetics or high blood pressure. “It’s something that’s not easy to detect ahead of time.”

Ross Friedman is survived by her husband Tom, stepsons Nathan and Benjamin, mother Rose Anne Ross, sister, Kelly Ross, brother-in-law Alex Lafreniere and extended family in B.C., Manitoba and Ontario.

A celebration of life ceremony will be held on Saturday, Jan. 12, at 2 p.m. at Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St. downtown.

“This will be a chance for people to express what we all feel about what we have to do from here on in. It’s about the future more than the past,” Friedman said.

In lieu of flowers, people are encouraged to donate to a charity of their choosing, Friedman said.

EXPENSIVE START TO THE NEW YEAR

L

ife is expensive and, if you ever needed a reminder of that fact, just wait until the new year, when all manner of tax and fee increases are tabulated by media outlets — at about the same time Christmas shopping credit card bills are arriving.

Foremost on that list of increasing costs is the property tax you pay on your home. Based on the latest numbers from the BC Assessment Authority, coupled with a preliminary 3.4 per cent tax hike, it appears many people will be forking over more money to city hall to keep the Tournament Capital running.

(An increased assessment does not necessarily mean an automatic rise in tax rate. If, as noted, the average increase this year is eight per cent, then property owners above that mark will pay more than the average and those under the figure will pay less.)

But your castle is by no means the only place you will get hit this year.

You will pay more to drive (ICBC wants a 6.3 per cent hike as of April 1, which means another $60 out of your pocket), more to heat your home (courtesy FortisBC’s nine per cent increase) and more to simply live (get ready for another increase in the carbon tax, which is no longer revenue-neutral).

On the business side of the ledger, the B.C. NDP’s double tax begins this year, with MSP tax being charged alongside the new employer health tax, a double whammy that will hurt businesses with payrolls above $500,000. This includes city hall and the school district.

Existing and expanded services must be funded, which is why the cost of living generally travels in an upward arc.

But the problem is not everyone in the private sector enjoys automatic pay increases and generous benefits afforded much of the public sector.

And when the added costs become a bit too much to bear, purses are tightened, spending slows and the economy takes a hit.

Spending some time doing what you love with those you love may be all you can afford in 2019.

Happy new year.

The crystal ball sees all

I

t has again fallen upon my shoulders to prepare you, dear reader, for what to expect in Kamloops and beyond as 2019 makes its grand entrance: • As Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks at a Liberal Party of Canada fundraiser in Kamloops in January, a group of nine protesters donning yellow vests wave signs outside the venue, proclaiming Trudeau a “traitor.”

They inadvertently make $12.50 when attendees toss loonies at them, mistaking the safety vests as those worn by parking lot attendants.

• In February, the City of Kamloops’ enhanced anti-idling bylaw comes under review after bylaws officers misinterpret the policy and issue dozens of fines to the city’s homeless — and to Ray Dhaliwal’s first year on council.

• The plan by the city and Thompson Rivers University to construct a dome over Hillside Stadium to allow for winter sports training hits a snag in March when a copyright violation letter arrives from the lawyers for author Stephen King.

The city blames D&T Developments.

• In April, Thompson Rivers University student Kimberley Webster files a notice of claim in B.C. Supreme Court, alleging she experienced a contact high while watching the Cheech and Chong movie Up In Smoke.

Webster’s notice of claim states her viewing of the movie

CHRISTOPHER FOULDS Newsroom

MUSINGS negatively impacted her performance as a student and increased her appetite for Doritos.

Webster asks that the movie be banned from the airwaves and that Tommy Chong, Cheech Marin and Paramount Pictures reimburse her for three bags of chips and a new couch — to replace the one that scared her while she was under the influence of second-hand celluloid smoke.

• In May, former city councillor Donovan Cavers is treated for injuries to his thumbs in what is believed to be Twitterrelated trauma.

• In June, the Kamloops RCMP detachment announces that a new inspector, staff sergeant and media-relations officer will be joining the force.

In keeping with the detachment’s policy on adhering to privacy legislation, Mounties refuse to release the names of the new officers.

• In July, downtown parking woes continue to plague the city

when drivers learn the muchvaunted Whoosh pay-by-phone app requires users to connect via rotary phone.

• In September, Thompson Rivers University publishes a comprehensive new policy on academic freedom following last year’s controversy involving Derek Pyne, a professor who claims his academic freedom was violated when he was suspended, allegedly for exposing colleagues who paid to have academic papers published in dubious journals.

The new policy states the university has the freedom to suspend academics when they speak out.

• In October, the City of Kamloops and the B.C. Lions agree on a three-year extension that will see the CFL team continue to hold training camp in the Tournament Capital.

While the city will pay the football team about $50,000 per year to train at Hillside Stadium, taxpayers are told the economic impact is close to $1 million, with city staff citing various spinoffs, including team visits to city restaurants, the screening at each game at BC Place Stadium of a promotional video of Kamloops and rentals from MovieMart of The Lion King.

• By the end of November, heavy snow has exhausted the city’s snow-removal budget, leading to calls from Aberdeen residents for the city to stop fighting climate change so windrows can be eliminated. editor@kamloopsthisweek.com Twitter: @ChrisJFoulds

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

LIBRARIES ARE NEEDED NOW, MORE THAN EVER Editor: Re: Tom Joseph’s online letter of Dec. 28, 2018 (‘Create electronic libraries’): I strongly disagree with the notion that we don’t need physical libraries and that they are being used less and less in our digital age.

My children and I go to the library at least once a week.

We take great pleasure not

only in the atmosphere, but also with the variety of materials, including CDs, DVDs, magazines, books and reference materials.

No amount of time spent on a computer searching for information can replace the fun, enjoyment and visual treat of seeing books and materials on a shelf, searching for them on the shelves, leafing through magazines, interacting with staff

and catching up on all the other programming the library system offers.

And this is all available to us at no cost.

Living in a digital age means we could sit in front of a computer 24/7 and meet all our needs while staring at a screen, never having to leave our homes since we can order groceries, work, go on a virtual date, interact with

our friends via Facebook and watch TV. I don’t wish for my children to be in front of a screen more than is already dictated by school and some television time at home.

I greatly appreciate all the resources available at our North Kamloops Library and the friendly staff. Keep up the great work.

Tanja Hasler Kamloops

COMPLAINT NOT NECESSARILY INTENDED AS POT OF GOLD Editor: Re: The Nov. 29 story of TRU student Kimberley Webster, who claims she bought and used product that was mislabelled (‘Kamloops woman files lawsuit after BC Cannabis

Store product mislabelled): Some people’s comments have made her out to be a gold digger, interested only in financial gain from what allegedly happened to her.

Some information has come to light that there indeed may have been some product that was mislabelled, but none of that product ever made it into the hands (or bodies) of any consumer.

If she is a gold digger, she does have some chance at financial gain.

The cannabis supplier has some chance at financial loss if what Webster claims is found to be true.

Money and the love of it has been a great motivator through history.

I say do the lab testing of the product and see what comes of that.

John Noakes Kamloops

DISAPPOINTED AT WIN-AT-ALL-COSTS BEHAVIOUR OF MLAS Editor: Re: KTW’s online story of Dec. 31 (‘Stone calls pro-rep outcome a resounding defeat’): Kamloops-South Thompson MLA Todd Stone’s “resounding defeat” comment says more about the ethics of the B.C. Liberals than it does about the results of the referendum on electoral reform.

The No campaign, on behalf of the B.C. Liberals, was run on a platform of lies, misinformation and fear-mongering.

That a party and a leader supposedly working for the good of British Columbians would stoop so low is not only disappointing, it’s scary.

[web-extra] Read more letters at kamloopsthisweek.com We should be able to trust those we elect to govern us.

B.C. Liberal supporters who voted against proportional representation should not be celebrating a victory. They should be examining their priorities: should their party triumph or should we have a fair electoral system that truly represents the voters of B.C.?

I find it hard to believe that all B.C.

Liberal MLAs would opt for winning at all costs.

So much for the independence of MLAs to vote their conscience.

Daryl Sturdy Vancouver Editor: Defeat does not change the truth or facts.

The fundamental concerns of the first past the post voting system are low voter turnout, wastes votes (votes that do not go to elect someone) and distorted results (outcomes that do not reflect the popular vote).

Freya Beach is Kamloops’ New Year Baby for 2019

MONDAY • PC Deli Sliced Cheese 2 for $5 limited 2 WEDNESDAY • PC ® Extra Meaty Dog Food $ 1299 each limited 2

Girl was born to proud parents Alison and Eric at RIH MICHAEL POTESTIO STAFF REPORTER michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

It’s a girl!

Kamloops’ first baby of 2019 was born at Royal Inland Hospital at 7:44 a.m.

Freya arrived weighing eight pounds, nine ounces.

She joins older sister Nora, 2, and parents Alison and Eric Beach.

New father of two Eric told KTW they are thrilled to be the proud parents of the first baby born in Kamloops this year.

The 39 year old said his eldest daughter is also pretty excited to be a big sister.

It was a low-key New Year’s Eve for the Beaches, who were at home with visiting family members when Alison started having contractions about 10 minutes before midnight.

When the contractions reached five minutes apart at about 4:30 a.m., the couple departed for RIH and Freya was born.

“Everyone’s doing great. [The] baby’s healthy, mom’s healing up and getting some well-deserved sleep,” said Eric, who works for the City of Kamloops as a planning and development supervisor.

Alison, 35, is a naturopathic doctor, and owns Thompson Valley Naturopathic Clinic.

The first Kamloops baby of the new year was nearly a Christmas child, born about a week after her initial due date of Dec. 24.

“We thought we would have a Christmas baby for sure, but [she] wanted to cook a little longer,” Eric said.

The Beaches named their daughter after the Norse goddess of love, beauty

Alison and Eric Beach pose with newborn daughter Freya, who was the first baby born in Kamloops in 2019.

TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An American man will be sentenced to spend at least 25 years in prison for shooting and killing a Kamloops woman more than two years ago.

Shawna PeltomaaBelanger, 51, was shot twice in the head on Sept. 21, 2016.

She was found dead by police in a Colorado home following a 911 call reporting someone “downstairs dead shot,” according to court documents.

Peltomaa-Belanger, also known as Shawna Naimoli, was born and raised in Kamloops, and was a longtime employee of Kelly O’Bryan’s restaurant. She moved to the United States after marrying

RONALD BUDLER an American man in the 1990s but was a regular visitor to Kamloops until her death.

Ronald Budler, 50, admitted to investigators within an hour of Peltomaa-Belanger’s death that he had shot her twice in the head, according

to a police affidavit obtained

by KTW. The affidavit states Peltomaa-Belanger was found with two bullet holes in her right cheek and a rifle laying across her chest.

Budler, who lived in the home in which the shooting took place, later told police he shot Peltomaa-Belanger twice.

He is alleged to have then laid the weapon on top of her to make the incident look like a suicide.

Peltomaa-Belanger, who was dating Budler’s brother, also lived in the home.

According to the affidavit, Budler also “made a statement which indicated he wanted to shoot other people but was scared after he shot the victim and Budler said he wanted to

shoot himself but was scared.”

Budler was charged with first-degree murder but recently accepted a plea deal on the lesser charge of second-degree murder.

Weld County Chief Deputy District Attorney Steve Wrenn told KTW the plea agreement stipulates a sentencing range between 25 to 35 years.

Peltomaa-Belanger’s sister, Sandra Belanger, will be in court for Budler’s sentencing and plans to read a statement.

“I was hoping he would have got the death penalty or, at least, life in prison,” she told KTW. “My sister didn’t get a plea for her life.”

Budler’s one-day sentencing hearing is slated to take place on Feb. 8 in a Greeley, Colo., courtroom.

Two months for man with violent past TIM PETRUK STAFF REPORTER tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

An elderly convicted killer and rapist was sentenced on Wednesday to spend less than two months in prison for failing to register as a sex offender.

Benjamin Archie, 78, also pleaded guilty to failing to abide by the conditions of his probation.

Archie, a First Nations elder with a criminal record dating back to 1966, has served lengthy prison sentences in the past — including seven years behind bars in the 1980s for manslaughter following the death of a 22-year-old Canim Lake woman.

In 1999, he was sentenced to 18 months in jail after being found guilty of sexually assaulting a 12-year-old girl at three B.C. powwows.

In 2006, Archie was sentenced to

spend nearly six years in federal prison for a conviction stemming from an incident in which he drove his then-wife to a rural area outside Kamloops and beat her until she agreed to have sex with him.

Six years ago, Archie was jailed for more than a year after a jury found him guilty of assault stemming from an incident with a woman he picked up on Tranquille Road.

Court heard Archie offered the victim a ride to Kelowna.

The 32-year-old woman claimed Archie violently raped and beat her on the forest floor off a logging road near Merritt.

The woman later jumped out of Archie’s moving vehicle on the Okanagan Connector and was helped by a passerby.

A doctor testified there was no evi-

dence the woman had been raped.

The jury returned a not-guilty verdict for sexual assault but concluded Archie had beaten the victim.

At the time of his sentencing in 2014, a prosecutor said the Crown would have sought a dangerous offender label for Archie had he been convicted of sexual assault — meaning he could have been ordered to spend an indefinite term in prison.

Court has heard in the past that Archie was a victim of physical and sexual abuse while a child as a student at a residential school.

At Archie’s sentencing on Wednesday, Kamloops provincial court Judge Stephen Harrison was told Archie’s behaviour is becoming less criminal and more medical in nature as he ages.

Harrison cited Archie’s age in sentencing him to serve 60 days in jail, minus three days for time served.

MEMORIES & MILESTONES Nick and Tracey Louvros, of Kamloops along with Darrel and Beverly Stanwood, of Vancouver are pleased to announce the engagement of

Arianna Louvros and Lyndon Stanwood both of Vancouver.

The wedding will take place in Vancouver in the summer of 2020.

Police arrest Charles Patrick Kamloops Mounties have arrested the second man sought in connection to a nearly year-long criminal investigation.

Charles Patrick was arrested at 1:40 p.m. on Dec. 21 while sitting in the passenger seat of a car parked near his Kamloops home, RCMP Staff Sgt. Ed Preto told KTW. Patrick is due in court this Monday for a bail hearing, according to court documents.

He has been charged with possessing a prohibited weapon, possession of ammunition for the purposes of committing an offence and possession of property obtained by crime over $5,000.

The charges are in connection with the RCMP’s investigation into the alleged activities of Cameron Cole — who is believed to be at or near the top of one of two significant drug-trafficking rings operating in Kamloops.

On Dec. 6, police executed a search warrant on a downtown business operating under the name Cole and Sons. Mounties said they found explosive devices during their search on Thursday of a warehouse in the 1400-block of Lorne Street.

Afterwards, Mounties issued a press release regarding outstanding arrest warrants for Cole and Patrick, who police contend is Cole’s associate.

Cole surrendered to Kamloops Mounties on Dec. 7. He was granted bail on Dec. 19. He faces a raft of firearms-related charges following a number of searches carried out across Kamloops.

The RCMP investigation began last January when police seized numerous firearms, bomb-making materials, cash and drugs from a Dallas home they say is linked to Cole.

Another record-setting building year in Kamloops Commerce culture community In 2018, the city surpassed

JESSICA WALLACE

STAFF REPORTER

jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

its previous record-setting construction year by nearly $61 million worth of building permits.

“It’s really good news for Kamloops,” City of Kamloops building and engineering development manager Jason Dixon said.

While the previous annual record — $224 million in 2017 — was surpassed by the end of November, the city’s December building permit report noted $285 million worth of permits issued by year’s end.

December brought in an additional $22.4 million, out-

pacing last year’s holiday season, which saw $6.7 million worth of permits issued.

Most of the additional $22.4 million was tied to Nationwide Self Storage at 1502 Hugh Allan Dr. in Aberdeen ($13 million) and two industrial storage buildings at 211 Andover Cres. in Dallas.

In 2018, the bulk of permits ($163.8 million) were residential, including a surge in multifamily construction. Multifamily units were up 37 per cent in 2018 over 2017, including 423 apartments.

Dixon said that is due to pent-up demand.

Single-family dwelling permits, meanwhile, were down 38 per cent (130 compared to 210 in 2017).

The Central Interior chapter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association previously told KTW that was due to lot shortage.

Dixon said as the city grows, it has less available land for development.

“It’s just harder and harder, topographically, just to create the lots service-wise,” he said.

While the dollar values were high in 2018, permits overall were down: 969 in 2018 compared to 1,151 in 2017.

Next year’s construction values could be inflated, due to work on the $417-million patient-care tower at Royal Inland Hospital.

Dixon said conservative estimates by the city for 2019 are in the $205- to $210-million range.

minor burns and smoke inhalation from the fire, which started in the bed of a corner suite on the top floor of the threestorey building on the North Shore, according to Kamloops Fire Rescue.

He was pulled from the room and carried out of the building by the owner and caretaker of the hotel, said KFR fire prevention officer Ray Webster. The man was the lone occupant of the room, which was gutted by the flames.

No other units on the floor were affected, but the third-floor hallway was damaged by heat and smoke and some rooms on the floor below likely sustained water damage, Webster said.

The tenant, and four others who also suffered smoke inhalation, were sent to hospital.

The call came in at about 2:30 a.m. as a fire alarm that was upgraded to a room and contents fire, leading to six fire trucks responding to the

call, KFR acting platoon captain Chris Burnham told KTW. Four people were seen hanging out of windows and to be rescued using ladders.

The hotel was evacuated and 33 residents were taken by bus to an emergency centre set up at McArthur Island Sport and Event Centre.

Residents who live in the south wing of the third floor cannot return home yet due to smoke damage, but those living on the second floor and the north wing of the third floor have all been allowed to return.

Webster said displaced residents will receive three nights of temporary housing from emergency social services.

The fire, which was fought by 23 firefighters and contained to the single unit, was extinguished in a little more than an hour.

The Duchess did not sustain any damage.

$10-million rail project on Tk’emlups land MICHAEL POTESTIO

STAFF REPORTER

michael@kamloopsthisweek.com

North Thompson Rail Terminals intends to begin construction soon on a permanent, trans-loading rail yard at 1310 Kootenay Way, linking to the existing Canadian National Railway located within the Tk’emlups reserve.

The final hurdle before construction can begin is whether or not the project will require an environmental assessment — a decision the Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency is in the process of determining.

Construction is earmarked to begin March

1 in three phases on 27 hectares of land leased for 99 years under an agreement between the NTRT, federal government and the Tk’emlups Band.

The rail yard, which NTRT will own and operate, is meant to make the transfer of commodities more efficient in B.C. The rail yard is expected to create more than 20 jobs, according to a project report from the CEAA. NTRT president Corey Bitz told KTW the facility will be the first of its kind to connect to the CN line in Kamloops.

While it will only accommodate lumber at first, the hope is to

be able to offer services to a variety of commodities.

“The facility is anticipated to provide railcar storage, switching, trans-loading and intermodal and container stuffing for a variety of prospective clients,” the report stated.

The site of the proposed development has historically been used for agriculture and will require NTRT removing and remediating debris piles from the property as part of the lease.

According to the CEAA report, impacts to the environment from developing this site are expected to be minimal given the limited amount of wildlife

habitat, lack of aquatic features and proximity of anthropogenic disturbances from neighbouring industrial sites.

The full scope of the project includes 41 tracks, totalling 14.6 kilometres of track, 36,600 square-metres of laydown areas for commodity loading and offloading, a 4,600 square metre administration building, a site access road, storm water management system and areas for clients to sub lease and for future expansion.

The CEAA is considering public comments until Jan. 23 and will post a decision on its website, stating whether an environmental

t first blush, hurricane-force winds, horizontal downpours and a thunderous sea lashing against some of the highest and most jagged cliffs in Europe would not be on my bucket list.

But driving Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way is an absolute must.

As the world’s longest defined coastal driving route, it is one of the most multi-experiential adventures to be had.

Besides, when the sun shines (which is often), opportunities for discovery are endless.

There are settler cottages, castles and stately homes, centuries-old beehive-shaped stone huts, hikes to the edge of the world, blue flag beaches to surf, local craics found in cozy pubs, artisan weavers, potters and visits to offshore islands, where the pace of life harkens to an earlier decade.

Winding our way for 2,500 kilometres between Kinsale and Inishowen Peninsula, the coastal route takes visitors to an Ireland far beyond kissing the Blarney Stone or the Guinness Museum.

Drive the entire route and allow two weeks to make the most of spontaneous detours, or opt for sections.

These can be planned by county, roughly as follows: Cork, Kerry, Clare, Galway, Mayo and Sligo and Donegal.

Like an Irish yarn, distractions along whichever route you choose are numerous, intriguing, very entertaining and unexpectedly farm-fresh flavourful.

Instagram worthy?

You betcha.

Good for Facebook bragging rights?

TOURISM IRELAND PHOTO The world’s longest coastal route. Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way, will offer sights and experiences like these cliffside sheep, that travel far beyond the stereo-typical kissing of the Blarney Stone or quaffing a pint of Guinness beer. The winding route packs a punch that belies this country’s geographic stature.

Absolutely.

For example, in Kinsale (Co. Cork) head for the gorgeously restored Victorian railway station — home to the Cobh Heritage Centre.

Here’s where you can trace your ancestors through the Irish emigration story and learn about the ill-fated Titanic and Lusitania.

The sinking of the latter, in 1915, saw the loss of 1,100 lives, including Americans, and was pivotal in the United States joining the First World War. As you travel County Cork coastline and beyond, watch for all manner of shipwrecks from those torpedoed in the Second World War. The 300-million-year-old Cliffs of Moher (Co. Clare)

In the movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, Harry and Professor Dumbledore “apparate” on a rock, off the shore from forbidding sea cliffs and enter a cave to find one of the Horcruxes. The footage was filmed on location at the Cliffs of Moher.

For a change of pace, head for Kylemore Abbey (Co. Galway).

Built as a family home in the 19th century, an order of Benedictine nuns took the abbey over and operated a girls’ school.

Today, the nuns still sell their honey, jams and chocolates in a gift store that’s filled with local

wares, overseeing an excellent lunch spot.

This Georgian mansion has been in the Perceval family since 1665, so treasures, memorabilia and knickknacks abound.

Everything here is authentic — including the stories.

There’s a crumbling 13th-century Knights Templar castle by the lake, 2,000 gamboling sheep, a walled garden and so much more. Dinners are superb, but require advance reservations.

It’s hard to beat the moorland, mountains, lakes and woods of Glenveagh National Park (Co. Donegal).

Inspired by the Victorians’ love of romantic highland retreats, Glenveagh Castle is certainly visit-worthy, as are the Italianate formal gardens.

For me, however, it’s the Inishowen Peninsula that steals the show.

In driving the 160-kilometre circuit, sweeping beaches and rising cliffs leave you breathless.

At Malin Head, Ireland’s most northerly point, there is a promise of something yet more precious — night-lit skies of an Aurora Borealis display.

Ireland has always packed a punch that belies its geographic statue.

While many of us visit Ireland for its music, culture, Guinness beer and sheep, it is the untamed wilderness of the world’s greatest driving route that will truly steal your heart.

Mother Sun shines through as it grows in the local scene SEAN BRADY STAFF REPORTER sbrady@kamloopsthisweek.com

M

other Sun is a band full of artists trying to make music they would listen to.

“We’re just four massive music fans that also want to make music,” said Jared Doherty, who plays guitar and sings for the foursome of local mid-20s musicians.

Mother Sun plays psychedeliainfluenced pop and rock with folk and jazz elements. They want their sound to be familiar — influenced by music from the ‘60s and ‘70s — without merely copying what past artists have done.

“We want to make it interesting to listen to — to make it familiar, but not, where you can’t put your finger on it,” Doherty said.

He and the the rest of the band, Emilio Pagnotta (guitar and vocals), Alex Ward (organ and keys) and Jared Wilman (drums and vocals), have been dashing away to Vancouver to record every chance they get, working on their debut album.

Two songs have already been released, Flower and One Eye, both available on the Factotum Bandcamp page online at factotumco.bandcamp.com.

The album doesn’t have an official release date, but Doherty

said the band is planning to put out a 10-song album in the summer.

Doherty and his bandmates got together in late 2017 and began recording shortly after.

The four were familiar with each other, having already met or played in other bands of the “small world” Kamloops music scene.

For example, he and Wilman, who also plays in Echo Beach and At Mission Dolores, have played together for more than five years and went to the same high school.

While Mother Sun is one of many bands growing in the city under JP Lancaster’s label Factotum CO, Doherty said the band will likely have to travel to see success.

“Our inclination has been more to hit the road, but I think the scene here can always grow,” he said.

“If you’re touring in, say, Europe, it’s such a condensed area and you can travel to so many places. Whereas here, you might have to drive to Edmonton — and you might want to play a couple of nights there to make sure you have gas money.”

And recording has travel needs, too. The band has been working with Felix Fung at Little Red Sounds studio in Vancouver.

Local band Mother Sun plays psychedelia-inspired pop and rock. The quartet, which includes Jared Doherty, Jared Wilman, Emilio Pagnotta and Alex Ward, will hit the Blue Grotto stage on Thursday.

Doherty said there are pros and cons to recording in Vancouver — a pro being working with Fung as a producer, who Doherty said pushes the band for its best performance “We did 25 takes of one song there, and on our own, I don’t know if we’d be that honest with ourselves,” he said.

But the comforts of home help.

Doherty said that without the limits of studio time — the band is typically there for two days — it’s a lot more comfortable and it pays off to take time to do things

With all that lined up and the pieces coming together, Doherty said he’s excited for the year to come and plans to keep making music that he likes.

“That’s when people actually start taking notice,” he said.

“At that point you’re not following a trend, you're just doing what sounds good to you and it’s more genuine — and whether people know that or not, it really shines through and that's what makes a band unique and special.”

Sun Peaks Alpine Flowers, acrylic, by Kelly Tilly Perry

New exhibit at KAC

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

A FROSTY GREETING

Lauren and Nathan Ball and their two children Kennedy, 2, and Keegan, 4, made the trip from Merritt to see the Wildlights show at the B.C. Wildlife Park. The annual event runs until Sunday. For more information, go online to bcwildlife.org.

A new artist will soon be featured in the Kamloops Arts Council’s galleries.

Printmaker and acrylics artist Kelly Tilly Perry will present her work in Beyond the Forest Floor and Almost Black and White in the hall and main galleries of the Old Courthouse Cultural Centre, 7 West Seymour St. Perry graduated with her bachelor of fine arts degree from Thompson Rivers University in 2005 and is a mother of four and grandmother of 10.

She worked at the Kamloops Art Gallery for eight years as a community programs co-ordinator and community outreach worker teaching art to adults and seniors with disabilities.

Since graduating she’s shown her work in multiple solo and group exhibitions.

Her work will be on display from Jan. 16 to Feb. 16. An opening reception is planned for Friday, Jan. 18, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the gallery.

On the year that was and the creativity that lies ahead J anuary is here, a time for dismantling holiday decor and a relentless reminder that everything about us should be changed.

While the rest of nature is still resting, saving up energy to emerge with renewed vigour in the spring, we’re packing ourselves into gyms and health food stores, adopting every trendy “lifestyle change” at the same time.

It’s the middle of winter, some of the darkest and coldest days of the year. I don’t want to be a better, healthier and more organized person right now — I want to hibernate and perhaps do a little crafting.

Looking forward to a new year is a bit daunting at the moment.

Brianne and I are only just wrapping our heads around everything that happened in 2018 and try-

ing to tie up loose ends before embarking on this next chapter.

So, in the spirit of procrastinating just a little bit longer, let’s interrupt the accounting and business goals and spring cleaning and turn our attention to what I really want to be doing: getting my hands dirty.

I only first picked up some polymer clay last October, but I’m already antsy to get it out again.

After keeping things simple for my first attempt, I made some basic round beads strung up into a necklace. I really want to try some different shapes and accessories.

Earrings and a ceramic wall hanging are next on my to-do list for 2019 and I also want to bring more ceramics, clay and pottery into Far and Wide this year for everyone to enjoy.

Another little project from 2018 that I really enjoyed was an illtimed bathroom semi-renovation.

It sounds fancier than it was — new paint, some fancy drawer pulls, round wall mirrors and the chance to DIY a cheap and easy shelf to display plants. (It’s also a great reason to buy more plants, which was really my motivation from the beginning.)

While housework and renovations may not seem in the same vein as creativity and DIY, I always feel so inspired working through these projects.

While working on our bathroom I added some great local artwork that catches my eye every morning as I’m getting ready. It’s impossible not to feel encouraged daily with a start like that.

My endeavours ranged from

CALLI DUNCAN Maker

MOVEMENT trying a couple of new canning recipes this summer — I explored the world of freezer jam in a past article — to attempting some crude plant multiplication by way of rooting cuttings from some of my favourite house-

plants (with varying degrees of success) to pulling out my drill and skill saw to make some wall mounted air plant holders to hang up in the kitchen.

The year 2018 taught me that for those seeking it, creativity will find a way.

It was a crazy year. At times it felt like all we did was work and sleep, but looking back I can find little glimpses of creativity marbled throughout, and I’ll take comfort in this.

There are currently 361 fresh pages ahead of us and I know, regardless of what happens with business or in life, creativity in some shape or form will be scattered across every one of them.

arts&entertainment DAVID FRIEND

CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — As the ill-fated daredevil character Super Dave Osborne, comedian Bob Einstein sometimes found himself flirting with danger, say his Canadian co-stars.

Einstein was so committed to his parody of an Evel Knievel-esque stuntman that he occasionally stumbled into near mishaps on set, said Don Lake, a Toronto-born actor who worked with the late comedian for decades. Some of those moments became hilarious experiences for the production crew.

Once Einstein barely missed being trampled by a horse, Lake said.

“You would kind of go, ‘Oh wow, that was close.’ And the second you said that, you’d start laughing,” Lake said of shooting The Super Dave Osborne Show, a staple of 1990s Canadian television.

“We’d get the giggles and you couldn’t stop. It was a liveaction cartoon.”

Einstein recently died at 76, leaving behind a legacy of TV comedy punctuated by the accident-prone Super Dave, who tirelessly planned ambitious stunts that consistently failed upon execution. Usually the punchline would involve a dummy of Super Dave suffering exaggerated injuries, whether it was being launched across a field or exploded with dynamite.

Watching Einstein execute his stunts offered plenty of amusement, said actor Art

Irizawa, who played Fuji Hakayito, the Japanese stunt co-ordinator of Super Dave’s haphazard contraptions.

“When my part was finished with I’d just hang around to watch the balance of the show because it was so funny,” he said.

Irizawa remembers one stunt in which Super Dave was facing off against a monster truck adorned in giant bull horns. His red mini-car was supposed to be the matador, skirting around a small arena.

But when the car stalled, the monster truck’s stunt driver nearly ran over Einstein.

“He hit the little car and it just missed Bob,” Irizawa said.

“Bob was really, really lucky.

I’m sure he was shook up, but he kept his cool, and he took advantage of that and made something out of that in addition to the balance of the story.

I thought, ‘this guy is a genius.”’

The near miss became part of the episode, with the scene cut to look like Fuji was driving the truck. “I had to give you a little thrill,” Super Dave explains in the skit to Fuji as he shrugs off the accident.

The Super Dave Osborne Show was a passion project for Einstein, Lake explained, partly because the comic shared many traits with his bumbling character.

Lake first met Einstein when he auditioned for the 1980s Canadian sketch series Bizarre, which was shot in Toronto and aired on CTV. Einstein was the show’s co-producer and worked alongside casting director Diane Polley, mother

of actress Sarah Polley, in finding new talent for the show.

When Lake walked into his audition he was planning to work off a script, but Einstein quickly discarded the lines.

“He said, ‘Let’s do this cold,” Lake remembered. “And we did. He kind of just said, ‘You’re hired.”’

The pair became friends both professionally and in their personal lives, he said.

They worked together for four years on Bizarre before Lake was cast in the spinoff series The Super Dave Osborne Show, which split its production time between Canada and the United States.

Lake played played Donald Glanz, one of the lead staff members at the Super Dave Compound, the fabled theme park and learning centre that served as the headquarters for his aspirational empire.

While Einstein wasn’t Canadian, his fondness for the country was no secret during production of Super Dave. Some of his stunts were staged in the country, including one where he’s accidentally knocked off the edge of the CN Tower.

“He loved spending the summers in Toronto,” Lake said. “His daughter would be out of school and join him, so it was kind of a fun summer camp.”

Einstein was a meticulous creator with a clear vision for the TV series, said Alan Kates, who booked talent for the comedy show, which interspersed skits and musical guests with the stunts.

FOUR SEASONS TWO WAYS

“He had definite opinions, really knew what he wanted,” Kates said.

That included appearances from Hollywood stars and music legends, with Carol Burnett, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Sonny Bono among them. A young Celine Dion sang her breakout hit Where Does My Heart Beat Now to rapturous applause in one episode.

It helped that Einstein and his Winnipeg-born comedy writing partner Allan Blye already had a good reputation in Hollywood as writers on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour and a Dick Van Dyke series.

“Everyone wanted to do it because frankly it was Bob Einstein. These guys were writing and producing these shows — the biggest variety shows in America,” he said.

“You call their managers and go, ‘Hey Bob’s doing a show.’ It’s like, ‘When do we get there? What time do you want us?”’

It wasn’t only Super Dave’s guests who shared excitement for the TV series, Lake said.

Once he was working as producer on a television show when he noticed that notoriously prickly actor Billy Bob Thornton was walking over to speak with him.

“I thought, ‘Oh no he’s mad about something,”’ Lake said.

“And then he came up and said, ‘I just want to tell you how much I love Super Dave Osborne.’ It was like, ‘Oh you’ve got to be kidding me.’”

Reviewing 2018 in Kamloops sports

Chloe Dolha belonged to the first all-girls team in Kamloops Minor Baseball Association history, the Pink Panthers, who made their debut in 2018.

ALLEN DOUGLAS/KTW

T

his is Year 9 for me at the helm of KTW sports.

While flipping through our 2018 papers on Monday, it occurred to me I’ve never penned a year-in-review column.

That changes today.

Here are 10 stories that stood out to me, accompanied by pictures from KTW photographer Allen Douglas, who makes this section sing with his work.

1. SOUTH KAMLOOPS TITANS’ SENIOR BASKETBALL Whittling down the list to 10 was difficult and readers’ opinions will differ on whether I got it right, but the task of picking the top story of the year was a layup.

The South Kamloops Titans’ senior boys’ and girls’ basketball teams are a slam dunk, with each squad having won a B.C. title.

Two teams from the same high school went all the way, the boys in the AAA ranks and the girls in AA. Come on. That just doesn’t happen.

South Kam won the school’s first-ever provincial senior male high school basketball title, led by fiery head coach Tim Unaegbu (too fiery, at times, as he was suspended during the provincial tournament for technical-foul violations).

The Titans suffered an agonizing 69-63 loss to the Rick Hansen Hurricanes of Abbotsford in the 2017 AAA boys’ B.C. final, but avenged the defeat with a 74-66 triumph over Byrne Creek of Burnaby last March in Langley.

Unaegbu had been grooming this group since junior with one goal in mind — wave the senior B.C. banner. They had one final chance. They got it done.

South Kam’s girls damn near gave this reporter a heart attack at the Langley Events Centre, where it took overtime to knock off the G.W. Graham Grizzlies 73-67 in one of the most

MARTY HASTINGS

The Tattle of

HASTINGS

intense games I’ve covered.

Kendra McDonald scored for the Titans with 6.2 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter to force OT, quieting the rabid Grizzlies’ faithful, who brought tin trash cans and drummed on them incessantly.

Talking to athletes after epics like that — win or lose — is among the duties I love about this job.

I can remember vividly the heartbreak in Ben MacDonald’s voice after his Titans lost to Hansen in 2017.

No, it’s not fun to see them in emotional pain, but there is value in relaying to the public back home how much it means to these kids, and how hard they tried.

Just as clear in my mind is the elation on the faces of the Walkley twins, Lauren and Katherine, after they grounded the Grizz, victorious in their Grade 12 years, their last kick at the can.

Head coach Del Komarniski, star players Maddy Gobeil and Olivia Morgan-Cherchas (both U Sports signees) and the rest of the 2018-2019 Titans have repeat potential this year.

March madness should be fun.

The Westsyde Whundas’ senior boys deserve honourable mention.

They enjoyed an incredible run and placed fourth at AA provincials.

2. JOSIE MORRISON Many of us woke up at ungodly hours to watch Josie Morrison in speed-skating action at the Olympic Winter Games in South Korea.

I had sleep in my eyes and the Kamloops athlete had tears in hers when we spoke minutes after she fell .45 seconds short of a medal in the team pursuit competition on Feb. 23.

Morrison didn’t need a medal to make this city proud.

Her father, Owen Spence, fell from a ladder and died in December of 2008.

The South Kamloops secondary

graduate did not crack the 20162017 World Cup team, an exclusion that left her skating career in jeopardy.

Morrison’s husband and fellow 2018 Olympian Denny Morrison was seriously injured in a motorcycle accident in May of 2015 and had a stroke in March of 2016.

She helped save his life in the hours following the stroke.

The Spences were dealt another blow when eldest sister, Tori, was left off the Canadian Olympic speed-skating team last year.

Tori and Josie had pushed each other forever, but only one would realize the Olympic dream.

Morrison persevered and couldn’t stop smiling when she took to the start line before her first race at the Gangneung Oval.

“My dad would be so proud of me, for sure, 100 per cent,” Morrison said.

3. DON HAY’S DEPARTURE/ BLAZERS OVERHAUL Don Hay is a Kamloops legend.

He is beloved in this town, his hometown, and that won’t change.

We were unfortunately sold a bogus story by the Kamloops Blazers when Hay “retired from the Blazers” in May. The yarn smelled funky at the time, as pointed out back then in a KTW column, and was confirmed a hoax when Hay later gave an interview to NBC Sports Northwest.

“They wanted to make some changes and that’s their right,” Hay said.

Brown rink remains apple of Kamloops’ eye FROM A23

Sports franchises have every right to keep some things in house. It is neither the right of reporters nor the general public to know everything that goes on behind closed doors.

This was different. When stories are fabricated and peddled, it usually doesn’t end well — and it shouldn’t. The Kamloops Storm learned that this season during #DewarGate (copyright Jon Keen).

Hay’s ouster was part of a complete restart to the organization, a teardown that lands at No. 3 on this list.

Also losing their jobs were general manager Stu MacGregor, assistant coach Mike Needham and director of player personnel Matt Recchi.

Matt Bardsley took over GM duties and Serge Lajoie replaced Hay. 4. THE BROWN RINK The Kamloops Curling Club rink of skip Corryn Brown, third Erin Pincott, second Dezaray Hawes and lead Samantha Fisher moved to senior women’s play from the junior ranks in time for the 2017-2018 campaign.

Fisher left the team in the spring and was replaced by Ashley Klymchuk. The new-look rink is having a stellar 2018-2019 season.

Brown finished atop women’s provincial tour standings and is

the No. 1-ranked B.C. women’s team in the country heading into the Scotties, which begin on Jan. 29 in Quesnel.

On a personal note, it has been a blast to watch this team go through ups and downs over the last decade — national-title victories, gut-wrenching provincial final defeats, personnel changes and everything in between.

Corryn deserves special thanks.

HOLMES IS WHERE THE Happy New Year!

I always find the first weekend of January the real end of the Christmas season and officially the time to snap out of holiday mode, clean out the fridge and tidy the house.

It can be a bittersweet feeling to take down the tree and put decorations away.

I find it an easier time to start with resolutions or plans to improve parts of your life that you feel need fixing.

January 1 just doesn’t seem like the right day for that undertaking.

When the kids go back to school and your workplace has settled back into a routine, this can be an ideal time to pull out that list you’ve hopefully made to tackle small tasks or the big dreams, moving forward.

Many people want to commit to eating healthier, start a fitness regime, get outside in nature and, if you are a smoker, then for sure quitting smoking needs to be on your list, as most people will not date smokers.

I have a challenge for many of you to consider for the new year.

5. GREG STEWART Greg Stewart became the No. 1-ranked athlete in the world in his discipline and a Canadian champion in his rookie season.

No spring chicken at 32, the 7-foot-2, 330-pound behemoth from Kamloops made up for lost time in a new sport, shot put, finishing the 2018 campaign with a personal-best throw of 15.80 metres.

That heave landed 18 centimetres shy of the International Paralympic Committee world record in the F46 disability class, a mark set by U.S. athlete Joshua Cinnamo in 2017.

Also among Stewart’s highlights in 2018 were gold medals at the Para-Athletics Canadian Championships in Ottawa and World Para Athletics Winter Throws Challenge in Italy.

The World Para Athletics Championships in November is the most-significant event on Stewart’s schedule for 2019.

Championship in Russia last January.

Woodland did not play in the third-place game, but Canada came home with bronze after beating Russia 5-1.

She is now toiling for the New Brunswick Reds on scholarship and was named the university’s female athlete of the week on Oct. 16.

Woodland has a .944 save percentage, good for second in Atlantic University Sport.

Stewart, who was born with nothing below his left elbow, and coach Dylan Armstrong, who won bronze in shot put at the 2008 Olympic Summer Games in Beijing, have circled the 2020 Paralympic Summer Games in Tokyo on the calendar.

6. KAMLOOPS BRONCOS BLOWUP The Kamloops Broncos cleaned house in 2018.

Kamloops finished 0-10 in B.C. Football Conference play and changes began immediately after their last game on Oct. 14.

Gone are president Dino Bernardo, general manager Jan Antons and head coach Brad Yamaoka, along with the entire coaching staff.

Each of the departed deserve credit for years of hard work, but key relationships had broken down behind the scenes and a reset was required.

Joe Liberatore has taken over the GM role.

He said a head coach is expected to be named

by Jan. 16.

7. LOGAN STANKOVEN This fellow, Logan Stankoven, may end up being No. 1 on the list some time in the next few years.

The first round of the 2018 WHL Bantam Draft in May, the last draft for MacGregor

and Recchi, could not have gone better for Tournament Capital hockey lovers.

Kamloops product Stankoven, a bluechip prospect who has excelled at every level, fell to the Blazers at fifth overall.

He joined the Thompson Blazers for his 15-year-old season and leads the under18 B.C. Major Midget League in scoring, with 57 points in 24 games.

The closest player to him has 39 points.

The St. Ann’s Academy student will join the major-junior Blazers next season and likely change the face of the franchise.

HOLY COMMUNION: NOSHING THE BREAD OF LIFE

I

t was the middle of an extreme famine.

A widow had just enough flour for a last meal for her and her son — she knew death would soon follow for both of them.

But then a hungry man shows up, saying, “Make me something to eat.”

What would you do?

Bread is a staple in most cultures in the world. We even use it in the West as a slang expression for money. When we share a meal, an old expression is “Let us break bread together.”

And, by “bread,” we mean food of all kinds.

Bread is a theme running through our lives and also throughout the Bible.

The story in the first paragraph is a reference to the prophet Elijah and a poor widow at the very end of her rope. He asks her to give everything she has and trust him that a miracle will happen.

Elijah says to her, “Don’t be afraid … first make a small loaf of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says: ‘The jar of flour

will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the Lord sends rain on the land.’”

She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family. For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the Lord spoken by Elijah.

Some people fear becoming a Christian because they may risk all that they know and have. God asks people to trust Him and that unlimited blessings will follow.

Jesus says, in the Sermon on the Mount, “Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure,

a generous helping, poured into your hands — all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you.”

In the book of Malachi, God challenges people to test his generosity by donating freely to the needs of the church. “ … see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.”

Psalm 78 says, “ … he gave them the grain of heaven. Men ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat.”

You simply cannot out-give God. The story of the widow is not the first story of miraculous provision of bread. After Pharaoh’s army was destroyed, the entire host of the Israelites faced starvation in the Sinai desert. They complained to Moses that at least they had plenty to eat when they were slaves in Egypt.

So God said, “I will rain down bread from heaven for you.” That “bread” was called “manna,” which, ironically, is a Hebrew word meaning “what is it?”

The sweet flakes formed on

the branches of ground shrubs and could be easily gathered by hungry Israelites. The Lord promised that manna would be provided as a daily staple until the day they entered the promised land (40 years later) — and it was.

A young boy had five barley loaves — a small lunch packed by his mother — when the boy went to hear Jesus speak. More than 5,000 people were there and they were hungry. No one else had thought to bring food along and, moreover, there was nowhere nearby to buy any.

Jesus took the loaves, prayed over them, then asked the disciples to distribute the food to the gathered listeners.

After everyone was full, they collected 12 baskets of leftover food. It was a miraculous provision of bread.

In the sixth chapter of the book of John, Jesus declares plainly that he is “the bread of life.”

Jesus said, “It is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world … I am the living bread that came down from heaven. If anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever. This

bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.”

This is the incredible mystery of Jesus, who promised he would be with us always.

He asks us to remember him, by partaking in the holy bread of the communion table. When we eat God’s bread, he becomes one with us.

Thus, Jesus is the spiritual manna which miraculously sustains us in our holy walk with God. KTW welcomes submissions to its Faith page. Columns should be between 600 and 800 words in length and can be emailed to editor@kamloopsthisweek.com.

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM Donald Ray Brietzke

April 10, 1937 – December 30, 2018 Don passed away peacefully in his sleep at Pine Grove Seniors Community, after fighting bladder cancer for fourteen years.

Dad was born in Mannville, Alberta, the oldest of four siblings.

Dad was predeceased by his father Martin Ray Brietzke in 1991 and mother Margaret Viola Jackson in 1996. Dad lost his very best friend and partner in life, his wife Lorna June Brietzke in 2015, next was his eldest son Donald William (Maureen) Pendleton in 2016.

Dad is survived by his daughter Faith Reimer, grandson Curtis Reimer, granddaughter Felicia (Jason) Limpright and great-granddaughter Freya Limpright, grandson Vincent Brietzke, greatgrandsons Jason Mercer and Daigan Mercer, great-granddaughter Wilhelmina Achterberg, granddaughter Zoe Brietzke, great-grandsons Logan and Marcus, great-granddaughter Summer, son Adam (Laura) Brietzke, grandson Corey Brietzke, grandson Nicholas (Tiffany) Brietzke, great-granddaughter Maddison Brietzke, granddaughter Kassaundra (Jordon) Rodgers.

Dad grew up in Prince Rupert on his father’s fishing boat. They then moved to Smithers, where his father purchased a dairy farm.

Dad had some very early memories of delivering fresh milk with his father at the crack of dawn.

Dad left home at a young age to pursue his life.

Dad was very active in life, pursuing many careers: Prospecting Gold (1952-1953), Eagle Lake Sawmill, Prince George (1954-1955), McBride Timber Sawmill (1956-1960), McBride Timber Planer Mill (1960-1964), Scotty Brothers Sawmill, Prince George (1967-1968), Prince George Planers (1969), Prince George Hardwoods (1970-1972), bouncer at the Prince George Hotel (1972-1978), Intercon Pulp & Paper, Prince George (19791981), finally purchasing with his wife Lorna Mrs. B’s House of Flowers in Kamloops (1983-1998).

This ruff and rugged man became a pansy when he met his wife Lorna, who was a rose. It was only natural for them to succeed in the flower business.

After selling and retiring with his wife Lorna from the flower business, they would spend many months out of the years, fishing and hunting at Bonaparte Lake, never eating one fish himself!

Dad and Lorna both enjoyed being able to travel across Canada three times, with many stories to share about their travels, especially the one where they both came back together and alive!

The family would like to give a big heartfelt “THANK YOU” to each and every loving and caring staff member at Pine Grove Seniors Community.

No service by request.

Donations to the ALS Society would be appreciated in lieu of flowers.

There will be no service by request.

She was very loved and will be missed by all of us On your daily travels, be conscious of showing random acts of kindness to others in your path. Be kind and give of your heart in generous ways. That is how Shirley lived her life and she would enjoy it greatly if that belief in the goodness of mankind could be carried on.

Irene Bertha Hammond (née Tingstad) 1925 - 2018

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the peaceful passing of our Mom, Irene Bertha Hammond, on December 27, 2018.

Irene was born on August 9, 1925 in Hay Lakes, Alberta. As a farm girl and the eldest (female) of eleven siblings, she began caring for (and feeding!) others at a very young age. She moved to British Columbia at the age of 17, where she met the love of her life and future husband Harold (Spud) Hammond - at a roller rink in Victoria. They were married on May 23, 1947.

Harold was in the Armed Forces and as a consequence, they moved frequently. They had two boys, Byron and Douglas and eventually settled in Kamloops, where they welcomed their third son Wayne.

In Kamloops Irene worked in the retail industry at Woolworth’s and Woolco, making lifelong friends along the way.

In 1993 and 1997 Irene was given what was to be her greatest joys - her two granddaughters Erika and Kirsten. They were truly the lights of her life. She also opened her heart to her three stepgrandchildren Maggie McLeod, Emma McLeod and Scott McLeod when they became part of the family in 2012.

Harold and Irene spent many years being involved with the Masons and Eastern Star. They volunteered at community events - Irene often cooking and caring for others, as was her nature.

Irene enjoyed camping, cooking family dinners and watching her granddaughters’ various sporting activities.

Irene was predeceased by her brothers Raymond Tingstad (1936), Clarence Tingstad (1991), Ernie Tingstad (2012), Lorne Tingstad (2013) and her husband Harold Hammond (2006). She is survived by her siblings Alec Tingstad (Verna), Gladys Wishart (Bud), Bernice Foth, Ervin Tingstad (Marilyn) and Lorraine Tingstad. She will also be terribly missed by her sons Byron Hammond, Douglas Hammond and Wayne Hammond (Marianne), her granddaughters Erika Hammond and Kirsten Hammond and her dear friend Shirley Larsen.

Ask DRAKE Drake Smith, MSW Funeral Director

Every Friday in KTW! Q: Why don’t I see more obituaries from your funeral home in the newspaper?

A: Obituaries are invaluable if you plan a big formal service. But most of the people we serve just want a simple gathering for family and a few friends.

So, they often don’t run an obituary. I help them to organize their gathering with “Drake’s Guide to the Last Good-bye.” It’s free.

Call for your copy or go to DrakeCremation.com

Our heartfelt thanks to the staff at Kamloops Seniors Village - many of whom considered Irene to be their ‘favourite’ resident. Your kindness and compassion will not be forgotten.

Rest now, Mom. A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, January 4, 2019 at 12:00 in the Kamloops Funeral Home, 285 Fortune Dr., Kamloops. ! !

|

in the Queen Charlottes, the pulp mill in Kamloops, Mica Dam and Revelstoke Dam, he was a hardworking man that took great pride in his trade. Semi-retired, dad worked at St. Ann’s Academy in maintenance. Dad loved to play cards, crib, poker, 31 and a new game his brother Don taught him called golf and nothing went better with cards than a tall cool dark rum and Pepsi and his fabulous sense of humour. Dad loved a good joke and his sharp wit certainly kept us all on our toes. His love of hitting the links was a true passion and when he wasn’t on the course, he was watching it on TV and never missed the Masters.

Dad was a gentleman and a gentle man who will be dearly missed by all who knew him.

The family would like to thank the nurses at RIH on 7 North and 4 North for their kindness and caring for dad over six months. We would also like to extend our immense gratitude to the nurses, staff and volunteers at Marjorie Willoughby Snowden Hospice for their kindness, gentle care and compassion for dad. You are angels.

Katherine Lisa Gaunce Our dear daughter and sister Katherine Lisa Gaunce left us suddenly on December 2, 2018 due to complications of the heart at the age of 50.

She leaves us, her parents Al and Heather and sister Julia, her beloved cats Watson and Wyatt, and a loving network.

Kathy attended and graduated from John Rennie High School in Pointe Claire, QC then Trent University in Peterborough, ON with a BSc in psychology. She later studied theology for a year at McGill University in Montreal. Kathy was a sweet, brilliant, loyal woman who loved her family, friends and home. She was a true artist and craftswoman - a passionate knitter, crossstitcher, jewelry maker and photographer - as well as a tech whiz, a funny wit, a person of faith and a great and generous cook. Through all struggles Kathy remained at depth an amazingly sunny character. We are heartbroken.

Should friends desire, the family suggests that memorial contributions may be sent to an animal rescue operation of choice or to The Heart & Stroke Foundation.

A Celebration of Life will be held on Friday, January 11, 2019 at 1:30 pm at the Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul St., Kamloops, BC.

Rita Ethel Zinck Pozzobon

With profound sadness we announce the passing of Rita Ethel Zinck Pozzobon longtime resident of Scotch Creek, on December 20, 2018. Born on March 28, 1933 in North Vancouver the eldest child of Karl and Dorothy Zinck, when she was ten they moved to their farm on the Shuswap. She is survived by her girls Aleta (Ben) Steinbach, Karen Prescott (Owen Boyd), Sharen (Bill) Trouton, Janet (Dale) Mortimer, Velda (Jerry) Prescott, Zena (Randy) Branson, fifteen grandchildren, twenty-one greatgrandchildren, siblings Norma Bischoff, Netta DesRosiers, Roger (Marie) Zinck, Loretta Greenough, Tom (Peg) Zinck, brother-inlaw Freedy (Jean) Pozzobon, Lillian Pozzobon, Lloyd McNary.

Predeceased by her loving husband of 61 years Mackie (Jay) Pozzobon, parents Karl and Dorothy Zinck, grandson Jaye Prescott, son-in-law Jim Prescott, brothers-in-law Fred Bischoff, Tom Greenough and John DesRosiers, Sammy and Marino Pozzobon and sisters-in-law Maria McNary and Joni Pozzobon, numerous nieces and nephews.

A true pioneer, Rita grew up a farm girl on the Shuswap, raising crops, milking cows and clearing land. Crossed the lake on the ferry to attend school to grade 8 in Sorrento then boarded in Salmon Arm to attend high school. In her teens, she left home to be a berry picker, nanny and then camp cook for The Bischoff’s logging crew, while there she looked after a trap line that ran up the Crowfoot. During that time she met her cowboy and future husband Mackie through one of the famous Celista Hall dances.

They were married in 1953 and set out on a three month adventure to see the sights and visit family from BC to Mexico. When they arrived back home in Pinantan they made a living logging and ranching, after baby number five, they left behind the difficult tasks of daily life without modern conveniences and power there, then built a home in Chase where their sixth daughter was born. Because of their growing family they built a larger home on VLA where they raised their family and managed together many successful business ventures. Her background enabled her to be a resourceful woman in many areas, as an amazing cook, it was nothing for Mackie to show up with unexpected company,

where she would effortlessly create a delicious meal from their massive garden, livestock, bees and fruit trees they tended. She was very generous and enjoyed sharing the bounties of her labour. When their children were grown Rita designed and Mackie built their dream home on her beloved Shuswap Lake, where they loved to host family reunions and special events for family and friends who were important to them.

Rita was an exceptionally talented artist; her love of learning never ceased, she would expand her many talents from an early age to include; painting, drawing, sculpture, piano, embroidery, needlework, crocheting, knitting, sewing (matching outfits for her girls), cake decorating, she drew, planned and designed many houses and later jewellery, writing and self illustrating children’s books, creating many works of art for posterity. Her many talents and style carried through to her children, grand and great-grandchildren and passed on to anyone that had a desire to learn. Throughout their married life Rita and Mackie supported their communities and were the driving force of many local organizations. They travelled to many parts of the world, where they enjoyed learning about different cultures and people of all walks of life. She was very organized and accomplished a great deal, connecting family through her genealogy research and love of local history.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the North Shuswap Historical Society, c/o Loretta Greenough, 3730 Zinck Rd, Scotch Creek, BC, V0E 1M5.

A celebration of life will be held at her home in Scotch Creek, July 1, 2019 at 2:00 pm.

Jan Batist Melis Living long and prospering

Most recently, Cindy taught at the University of Alberta and Concordia University of Edmonton.

from October 31, 1953 to December 29, 2018

Cindy was an early opponent of the proposed Ajax mine and was instrumental in organizing community forums and rallying opposition to the mine through her work with the Kamloops Area Preservation Association. She was an active member of the Kamloops & District Labour Council and the TRU Faculty Association and advocated tenaciously for workers’ rights.

Cindy strongly believed that scientists have a duty to effect change through public engagement, an undertaking she embraced fearlessly throughout her life.

Outside of her academic and community involvement, Cindy was an accomplished keyboardist and vocalist, performing both solo and with the Latin band Caliente. Her interest in genetics early in her career led to a love of sphynx cats and she was a strong supporter of the Kamloops SPCA. Our world is significantly diminished by her death.

A Celebration of Cindy’s Life will be held on Saturday, January 12, 2019 at 2:00 pm at the Kamloops United Church, 421 St. Paul Street, Kamloops.

He was a loving and caring father, Opa, brother and friend. His crazy antics will be sorely missed by relatives and friends in the USA, Ontario, Alberta, Netherlands, Victoria and Kamloops. Jan is predeceased by his parents Jan and Huberta and younger siblings Frank and Hazel.

Jan is survived by his daughters Jillian and Shawna (Dolan), grandchildren Simone, Semiah, Meila and Seryn, his brothers Bob (Elena) and Max (Cheryl), his best buddies for life Dave and Sue Strong and his many, many beloved nieces and nephews.

A celebration of life was held at St. Andrews on the Square on Thursday, January 3, 2019 at noon.

In lieu of flowers, please feel free to make a donation to People in Motion.

I’m Glad I Touched Shoulders With You From Bob White’s Scrapbook

It is with great sadness and heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our much loved Brother, Uncle, Cousin and Friend, at the age of 62 in Kamloops, BC. Bob is survived by his brother Brent, his sister Laurene (Dave) Leach, his many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, and his much loved Lucy, all of who will greatly miss him. He was predeceased by his father and mother, Eric and Marguerite Wicklund.

Bob was born and raised in Coquitlam, BC. His 43 years with Telus (BC Tel) as a heavy duty mechanic allowed Bob to spend time in Maple Ridge, Mission, and then his favorite home in the community of Rayleigh (Kamloops) where he settled over twenty years ago.

Bob loved the outdoors and his favorite pastimes were hunting, fishing, softball with the Rayleigh Ball Team and of course his classic cars.

A heartfelt thank you to his good long term friends and to his Rayleigh Family. A special thanks to Terry and Debbie Bennewith for the love and support they have provided over the last few weeks.

A Celebration of Life to be held at a later date in Kamloops, BC. Always Loved, Forever Remembered “Tight lines and straight shooting”

There’s a comforting thought at the close of the day When I’m weary and lonely and sad That sort of grips hold of this crusty old heart And bids it be merry and glad.

It gets in my soul, and it drives out the blues, And finally thrills through and through.

It’s just a sweet memory that chants the refrain, “I’m glad I touched shoulders with you.”

Did you know you were brave, Did you know you were strong, Did you know there was one leaning hard, Did you know that I listened and waited and prayed And was cheered by your simplest word?

Did you know that I longed for that smile on your face, For the sound of your voice ringing true, Did you know I grew stronger and better because I had merely touched shoulders with you?

I am glad that I live; that I battle and strive For a place that I know I must fill; I’m thankful for sorrows I’ll meet with a grin What fortune may send good or ill; I may not have wealth, I may not be great but I know I shall always be true, For I have in my life that courage you gave, When once I touched shoulders with you.
