Christopher Seguin, Thompson Rivers University’s vice-president advancement, died in a Victoria hospital on Friday of an undisclosed illness. He was 39. This photo is of Seguin at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in January 2016. Seguin was part of a group of Kamloopsians who climbed Africa’s tallest peak, raising $90,000 for Developing World Connections. When he reached the summit, Seguin unveiled a sign dedicated to his wife, Melissa, and son, Logan. The couple since had a second son, Harrison.

Seguin was ‘pillar’ of Kamloops TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

Friends and colleagues are mourning the unexpected death of a “pillar of the Kamloops community” who died in a Vancouver Island hospital last week after suddenly falling ill. Christopher Seguin died on

Friday in Victoria. The 39-yearold had been Thompson Rivers University’s vice-president of advancement and de facto spokesman since 2007. He was also active as a community organizer. Devon O’Toole, who described Seguin as his “best friend” and “brother,” said the death has left a void.

“It’s leaving a huge hole,” he said. “Christopher was a pillar of the Kamloops community. A lot of people looked up to him as a role model, mentor and friend.” Seguin was in Victoria on TRU business when he was hospitalized. The circumstances behind his hospitalization and ultimate death have not been made public.

The NDP has pledged a five-week consultation period to come up with a made-in-B.C. model to sell retail marijuana in this province. Solicitor General Mike Farnworth told reporters Monday that system could include using different retail models in different parts of the province, noting what works in Vancouver may not work in Prince George, Zeballos or Atlin. “They all have different points of view and they’re often not captured,” he said. The City of Kamloops will be among those with a voice, said Deputy Mayor Arjun Singh. “I really appreciate the announcement for the minster to work collaboratively with Kamloops and other local governments,” Singh said. A City of Kamloops staff member will be on a working committee to give input into the retail model. Other questions that must be addressed include drug-impaired driving, public consumption and possession limits. Farnworth said the marijuana industry, including illegal dispensaries operating across the province,

will also have opportunity to have input into the model for retail sales. The move comes as the federal government is set to make sale of recreational marijuana legal by July 2018. Production will come from federally regulated licensed producers, but the provinces must come up with the retail model, including an age at which it can be legally purchased. Ontario announced this month it will sell marijuana through government-owned retail outlets. It put dispensaries on notice to shut down before they are prosecuted. But Farnworth said B.C. — late out of the gate due to the spring provincial election and uncertainty about which party would lead the province — is seeking input. “Unlike other parts of the country, we know there’s an industry and we want to make sure whatever framework is in place, we hear from the industry and affected groups,” he said. Chuck McCarthy, local operator of Weeds Glass & Gifts in North Kamloops, said he welcomes the opportunity to have a say, but wants to see how that will happen.

In honour of

Christopher Seguin

Remembering The TRU community is deeply saddened by the recent passing of Christopher Seguin, Vice-President of Advancement at TRU. Christopher joined TRU in 2007 and has been totally dedicated to the people of TRU and of Kamloops. Under his leadership, TRU set new fundraising records virtually every year of the last decade, generating millions of dollars for student bursaries and scholarships, groundbreaking research and major buildings. In addition, Christopherâ€™s singular command and sophisticated understanding of government and public relations put TRU on the road to national recognition. Christopher was known for his compassion, his dedication to his community and family, and his tireless work to make a difference. Countless lives were made better because of him. He will be missed.

Screaming followed gangster’s murder TIM PETRUK

STAFF REPORTER

tim@kamloopsthisweek.com

A neighbour of one of the founders of a notorious B.C. drug gang murdered outside his home Thursday says he heard three gunshots followed by a man screaming. Konaam Shirzad, 34, was killed and another man suffered non-life-threatening injuries in the shooting, which took place just before 7:30 p.m. in the Guerin Creek area west of downtown. Shirzad, a co-founder of the Red Scorpions, and at least one associate are believed to have been walking toward Shirzad’s townhouse at 60 Hudson’s Bay Trail when the shooting began. A neighbour said he heard a series of loud bangs and called 911. “We were watching TV and all of a sudden I hear

two shots,” he told KTW. “I was saying to my wife, ‘Those are gunshots.’ I recognize them. I know it was a handgun. It was, ‘bang, bang,’ then a third after that. I don’t think it was all the same gun, the same calibre.” He said he heard someone screaming a few moments later. “For a minute, it was just silence,” he said. “Then I heard someone screaming. A fellow was screaming. All I saw was he was dressed mainly in white.” Another neighbour said he heard screaming as well. The man said he heard what he thought was a drawer slam shut, then went outside to meet a food delivery driver. “This guy was hopping around on one foot saying, ‘No, no, no,’” he said. “I don’t know if he took one in the leg or what.” The food delivery driver

Shooting victim told KTW he left gang life behind CHRISTOPHER FOULDS KTW EDITOR editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

said he had his window down and was driving near the shooting when he heard someone yelling. “I could hear someone screaming, like ‘no, no, no,’” he said. “And then I heard the gunshots. Shortly after that, that’s when the cops started storming in.” Police found a burnedout vehicle in Sahali shortly after the murder. It is believed to have been stolen from the Lower Mainland earlier this month and investigators think it could be related to the shooting. The neighbour who was watching TV said police knocked on his door on Thursday morning, hours before the shooting, and asked about a BMW X6 M parked outside Shirzad’s house. Shirzad was known to have driven a BMW.

The man shot and killed in Kamloops on Thursday night was the owner of a local gym raided by police in January, a co-founder of the Red Scorpions gang who told KTW following the raid that he had left the gang life behind as he sought a new start in the Tournament Capital. Konaam Shirzad, 34, was killed and a 28-year-old man was injured in the brazen shooting Thursday night on Hudson’s Bay Trail in the Guerin Creek subdivision off the Summit Drive connector. RCMP received multiple reports of shots being fired. When police officers arrived, they found Shirzad dead on the scene and a second man suffering from a gunshot wound. He was taken to hospital. Shirzad was a co-founder of the notorious Red Scorpions gang, which he created in the early 2000s with Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le and Matthew Johnston. The gang was later led by the Bacon brothers. Following gang activity and time in prison, Shirzad moved to Kamloops, where he operated the Heavy Metal Gym on Briar Avenue on the North Shore. On Jan. 13, police officers using military-like vehicles and dressed in paramilitary outfits raided the gym, searching the premises in connection to what Mounties said was an earlier traffic stop and search of a home in Sahali. Following the raid on the gym, police held a press conference, at which they said one person was arrested for possessing and trafficking of illegal drugs during a traffic stop earlier that day. But Shirzad told KTW following the raid he was innocent of any allegations. “My past got brought up, but I’ve been doing a lot of good lately, Shirzad said in a Jan. 27 interview.

“The cop wanted to know if I had seen the Beemer at three in the morning on the 18th,” the neighbour said. “I said, ‘Three in the morning? I’m asleep.’ “I said to my wife, ‘There’s got to be something going on because they’re living in a place that’s $250,000 and that car is $120,000,’ but you never know. I’d say somebody’s making money an easy way here.” Police have said in the past

the Red Scorpions are known to be active in B.C.’s drug trade. The Red Scorpions gang was founded in the early 2000s by Shirzad, Quang Vinh Thang (Michael) Le and Matthew Johnston. Le served three years in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy charges for his role in the Surrey Six slayings in 2007. The 32-year-old plotted the hit of a rival drug dealer that turned into the deadliest gangland massacre in B.C. history.

Prosecutors dropped a charge of first-degree murder in exchange for Le’s plea. Court heard Le and Jamie Bacon plotted the slaying after Corey Lal, the rival drug dealer, refused to pay a $100,000 tax to the Red Scorpions. Johnston is serving a life sentence for first-degree murder after he was convicted in 2014 in relation to the Surrey Six massacre. The investigation into Shirzad’s murder is ongoing.

Police seek video Kamloops Mounties are asking for information from the public in connection to last week’s gang-related shooting in the Guerin Creek area west of downtown. Police are specifically seeking to speak with anyone who may have video surveillance or dash camera video footage that covers any part of Summit Drive during the period of 5 p.m. 9 p.m. on Sept. 21. The attackers are believed to have driven away from the shooting, travelling south on Summit Drive to Sahali, where the car they were driving was abandoned and burned on Oden Court. Anybody with information is asked to call Kamloops RCMP at 250-828-3000 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

When asked if the public had anything to fear with respect to gang violence, Shirzad replied: “The only thing to fear is the police and their overreaction.” As to the reported traffic stop, drug seizure and search of a Sahali home police say precipitated the assault on his gym, Shirzad replied: “I don’t know anything about any of that.”

Shirzad spent time in prison. His record includes attempting to murder a friend after stabbing him outside a movie theatre in North Vancouver and beating a teenager with brass knuckles. In December 2005, Shirzad was sen-

tenced to 2.5 years in prison after he ordered another Red Scorpion gang member to murder a witness who had testified against Shirzad. That order was done while Shirzad was behind bars on another matter, an incident

in which a North Vancouver home was shot up. At an October 2010 court hearing, Shirzad claimed he had left the gang life. After being sentenced to three years in jail for weapons offences, Shirzad told the court: “I see this as a learning curve. Hopefully, when my time is done, I’ll never have to come back to court again. I’ve pretty much learned my lesson.”

Dioselys Chana looks at tiny river life through the microscope while attending the annual World Rivers Day celebration at Riverside Park on Sunday. World Rivers Day was created to raise awareness of water-related issues. The event initially began in 1980, when Mark Angelo founded B.C. Rivers Day. In 2005, the event expanded to the entire world, creating World Rivers Day. In B.C. alone, close to 100,000 people participate in the event each year. Participants in this year’s event included the BIG Little Science Centre, Secwepemc Fisheries Commission, Kamloops Makerspace, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, WildSafeBC, Kamloops Photo Arts Club, Scouts Canada, local artist Kelly Perry, Wild Salmon Caravan and City of Kamloops arborists.

Advance voter turnout stronger than ‘14 ANDREA KLASSEN

STAFF REPORTER

andrea@kamloopsthisweek.com

After two days of advance voting, Kamloops appears to be on track to maintain its usual civic election voter turnout of about 30 per cent. Chief election officer Cindy Kennedy said 1,398 voters cast ballots at Heritage House in Riverside Park during the first two days of advance voting in the municipal byelection. Two advance voting days were held last week. A final advancevoting day will be held on Wednesday at Heritage House from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The Sept. 30 byelection will determine Kamloops’ next mayor and select two city councillors. All three positions are for one year as the next general civic election will be held on Oct. 20, 2018. The numbers in the first two advance-voting days are similar to

advance-voter turnout during the last general local election in 2014, when 1,216 people came out to vote early. Overall in 2014, turnout was 33 per cent, or about 22,672 of the 68,410 eligible voters, up from 29 per cent in 2011. The city saw voter turnout of 32 per cent for the failed performing-arts centre referendum in 2015, despite unusually strong advance poll numbers. About 3,600 people voted in advance on the $91-million arts centre and parkade. “The referendum was kind of an anomaly,” Kennedy said, adding she expects a byelection voter turnout of about 33 per cent. The city has 69,578 eligible voters and will maintain its recent voting streak if about 22,960 people cast ballots. A full list of polling places on Sept. 30 can be found online

KTW FILE PHOTO Christopher Seguin loads trucks to move food from Interior Vault to the Kamloops Food Bank during the 2015 Rotary Spring Food Drive. Seguin was a Rotarian and was involved in numerous community initiatives with the service organization.

O’Toole said he does not know what happened and TRU has not returned calls for comment. BC Coroners Service spokeswoman Barb McClintock said the investigation into Seguin’s death is ongoing. “We’re still working away on this one,” she said. “It’s too preliminary to say what happened.” McClintock said it could take up to a year for coroners to complete a report on Seguin’s cause of death and the circumstances surrounding it. According to O’Toole, Seguin’s family — he was married with two young sons — was with him in hospital when he died. “The family was with Christopher all the way through,” he said. “When they found out, they flew down there and spent time with Christopher.” Seguin was very

active in the Kamloops community. Most recently, he helped the city welcome evacuees from summer wildfires by co-ordinating TRU’s efforts to feed and house people who had been displaced. As a member of the Rotary Club of Kamloops, Seguin helped establish the Starfish Pack program, which helps feed young children. He also volunteered frequently with the Kamloops Food Bank and established a family meal program at NorKam senior secondary. “He’s an amazing example of love, kindness, compassion and a genuine need to make things better for everyone,” O’Toole said. “There’s a very big void left for everybody in the community. “He brought so much joy to so many lives.” Last year, Seguin was among a group of

Kamloops residents who climbed Mount Kilimanjaro to raise $90,000 for Developing World Connections. In 2015, he received a B.C. Community Achievement Award for his many contributions to the community, including resurrecting the Kamloops Marathon and volunteering with the Bladerunner program for at-risk youth. Before joining TRU’s administration, Seguin worked in advancement for the athletics department at Simon Fraser University, his alma mater, where he played varsity football. Seguin was a graduate of South Kamloops secondary. In lieu of flowers, Seguin’s family said donations can be made in his name at any CIBC branch to a trust fund for his children. A celebration of life is planned for Oct. 14, with details to come.

KEN CHRISTIAN “Evidence shows we are short about 2,500 units of affordable housing across a continuum starting from shelter space and leading all the way to affordable home ownership. “I do not believe the city should own nor operate housing, but council should work closely with housing providers, social agencies, developers and senior government to help attract more housing options to Kamloops. “Council can help with specific incentives such as reduced parking requirements, density bonuses, support for laneway and carriage homes, pre zoning of land and wider acceptance of secondary suites. Adequate housing is a critical social determinant of health.” BILL MCQUARRIE “I see affordable housing as a multistaged undertaking beginning with a housing-first initiative to help those most at peril and in most need. “From there, we need a more permissive residential zoning policy that allows for secondary suites. That opens up the rental market, while helping home owners cover their mortgage costs. Then, in combination, we need a continuation of the policy that favours a greater degree of densification. And we need to encourage developers to build mixed housing units through lower development cost charges or tax incentives. “Finally we need a transit system purposely designed with densification in mind, a service capable of handling morning and evening commutes, as well as personal travel within the city. “Help remove the need and expense of a car and you free up that money to go back into housing-related expenses, while helping build a greener community.”

The issue of homelessness and affordable housing continues to be at the forefront of discussions in Kamloops, with social-service agencies overwhelmed with tending to he needs of those without a place to live. The original story outlining the issue — which features an interview with Medicine Hat Mayor Ted Clugston, whose city’s approach to tackling homelessness has resonated across the continent — is online at kamloopsthisweek.com, under the Kamloops Byelection tab. All candidates’ views on this topic appeared in all three print editions of KTW this week and are also online.

and provincial governments for increased financial assistance from housing-first programs. In addition, any private funding that is available should also be sought out. “We need to create a thoughtful and inspired plan so that when money becomes available, we are ready to implement it right away. We need to think big to get a handle on this. “We need to examine zoning in every part of Kamloops to make some of the city-owned land available for the development of affordable housing for homeless, plus low- and moderate-income earners. Rental rates are very high and this needs to be addressed for the homeless and low-income earners; otherwise, the low-income earners will become our homeless.”

TODD MCLEOD “I propose: Giving current existing illegal secondary suites an amnesty until September 2018 to bring suites up to code and award $2,500 as a propertytax credit after an occupancy permit is issued. “For new legal secondary suite construction, give a $5,000 property-tax credSilver & Gold it once an occupancy permit is issued STUART HOLLAND “As a council, I strongly feel we need to — no rezoning fees, no permit fees and start by doing more to lobby the federal complete co-operation with city staff.

“Encourage developers to create new affordable housing and work with nonprofit organizations and the provincial government.” GLEN HILKE “1. Relax zoning and variance bylaws to allow for three temporary transitional modular buildings of up to 40 studio/one-bedroom units and 24 tiny (400-square-foot) homes; “2. Offer tax incentives to homeowners who build legal affordable suites (studio/ bachelor, $600, one-bedroom, $700) and/ or rent rooms at $450; “3. Offer tax incentives and an accelerated permit process to builders/developers who incorporate affordable mixed housing into their projects in which 20 per cent of units are affordable; “4. City of Kamloops approves two additional temporary shelters for the homeless year-round — North Shore and South Shore — with a capacity for 100 people until new affordable and/or subsidized rental and/or rent-to-own units are built; “5. City of Kamloops council, mayor and senior department heads formulate an action plan, including fixed timetable and budget to deliver the 2,500 affordable units for working couples, families and single parents by 2020.”

UNITED WE WILL ALL STAND

t might seem easy to casually say that things are getting back to normal. School is back in session, minimum wage went up to $11.35 an hour and the provincial state of emergency relating to B.C.’s wildfires has finally ended. But for many people, “normal” does not aptly describe the state of life right now. Some students with disabilities in B.C. schools will continue to lack the extra attention they need to thrive. People with little left over at the end of the month after paying their rent will still have to scrimp and cut out the extras to afford groceries. And those affected most drastically by the Interior wildfires remain months or even years away from getting back to some semblance of a regular routine. So, what can we do here at home to make an impact on those who need our help? There are many ways to reach out, including contributing to the United Way of Thompson Nicola Cariboo through its annual campaign that kicked off last week. By funding local service providers, United Way helps people in all walks of life, sometimes even our neighbours without us knowing. Programs for youth, people in poverty, those battling addiction and/or mental illness and more are paid for with donors’ dollars. Since this past June, families and individuals affected by wildfires had a valuable resource in the United Way. So, there are ways to help those who find themselves in dire circumstances — and the United Way continues to be the go-to resource.

Looting the public treasury

t is astonishing how badly Premier John Horgan mishandled his sudden announcement. After a decade of crusading against “big money” in B.C. politics, he was reversing his oft-stated position and moving to siphon millions from the provincial treasury to prop up established political parties. For someone who can’t stop bragging about leading a new government for “the people” instead of special interests, Horgan’s decision to lavishly reward his own special interest — and to do it while totally misreading the public mood — is difficult to understand. He’s been premier for two whole months and he’s already lost touch. It wasn’t just a couple of interviews in the lead-up to the spring election, where he either denied any intention of replacing corporate and union donations with “big money” from taxpayers, or professed to have “no opinion” because an independent panel would take that decision from politicians’ hands. It was his constant reference to legislation the NDP tabled six times in opposition, which made no mention of a party subsidy starting at $2.50 per vote. That evolving NDP legislation came to include an arm’s-length panel to remove the obvious conflict of interest that occurs when politicians set their own pay and perks. That’s all discarded now, replaced by a brazen looting of the public purse, as predicted by

TOM FLETCHER

Our Man In

VICTORIA B.C. Liberal Leader Christy Clark during the election campaign. Horgan mocked that as “alternative facts” at the time. Lost in the main looting is another provision for taxpayers to reimburse political parties for half of their election year expenses, on top of the per-vote subsidy and the generous tax credits for those who may still wish to donate voluntarily to political parties. (When this welfare-for-parties scheme was introduced at the federal level by Jean Chretien, one of the effects was to prop up the separatist Bloc Quebecois for years as their voluntary cash dried up.) In the case of the NDP, your taxes replace the compulsory union dues of United Steelworkers members, whose leaders directly paid top NDP campaign staff in the election this spring to the tune of more than $600,000. Unions win, you lose. All told, it comes to about $27 million in tax money handed to the NDP, Greens and B.C. Liberals over the next four years, in what Horgan falsely claimed is a tem-

porary measure. Green Leader Andrew Weaver allows that his party would benefit by millions in unearned subsidies, noting the big parties would be in “free fall” without an unearned substitute for corporate and union donations. This claim is questionable at best. The government’s breakdown of B.C. campaign financing shows individual donations totalling $6.8 million in 2016, almost as much as the $7.1 million from corporations. Unions came in at $1.7 million, a total that has been declining as smaller individual donations have climbed. Indeed, Horgan has boasted for years about the NDP’s success with individual donors. Former party president Moe Sihota lamented a few years ago that much of it comes from the wills of dead people, but no matter. Now “crowdfunding” is all the rage, as demonstrated so ably by Justin Trudeau and others at the federal level. Stephen Harper did away with welfare for political parties and the Conservatives have continued to kick the federal Liberals’ butts on individual fundraising, even last year as opposition and with an interim leader. This is a key issue for the B.C. Liberal leadership contest. Penticton MLA Dan Ashton was first to state he won’t accept direct taxpayer money for his election campaign. Maybe he should have run.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

PUBLIC MONEY BETTER THAN BIG MONEY Editor: In a whirlwind of negativity around Premier John Horgan’s proposal for public campaign financing, I would like to voice my support of it. One of the dangers to Canadian and American democracy is big-money donors to campaigns. Wealthy donors have effectively bought politicians and undue influence with campaign donations. Most are clever enough to donate to all the parties, so no matter who wins, their voices will have the ear of the ruling party.

Can we be sure the interests of big-money donors align with the interests of the average voter? Perhaps a mining company wants to dig a big hole in your backyard, while you would prefer your backyard untouched. To whom are the politicians going to be more favourable — a few voters who would rather not have the mine (and some voters who would like mining jobs) or the mining company that will help to finance the next campaign? In B.C., we need to decide if we want the

public’s voice heard or corporate and union voices heard. For roughly $1.25 per man/woman/child per year, we can try to buy back politicians’ ears from corporations and unions. I would urge the NDP/Green alliance to put in place clear laws prohibiting bribery parallel to the proposed public campaign financing legislation. Lenard Segnitz Kamloops

MOUNTIES CARE ABOUT HOMELESS Editor: For heaven’s sake, give the Mounties a break. They are not against the homeless. They are against stealing. And it’s not a personal matter. It’s because breaking the law is wrong. All of us have to be concerned about the homeless and the Mounties I know care as much as the rest of us. And did anyone notice that a Mountie was recently killed in New Brunswick? It was given brief mention in the paper, but didn’t make the front page — shopping carts did. Thank God for the Mounties.

Campfire ban lifted across province Break out the weenies — campfires are once again allowed to burn in the Kamloops region. Following a hot, smoky summer with a blanket ban on fires of all kinds, the campfire prohibition was lifted last Friday — the first day of fall. Cooler weather has led to the decision to allow campers to gather around fires as they try to get in the last bit of outdoor activity. The campfire ban was imposed on July 7. In the summer of 2016, there was no such ban implemented. While campfires are now permitted, category 2 and category 3 open fires, which are fires larger than 0.5 metres by 0.5 metres, remain prohibited. The use of sky lanterns, binary exploding targets, air curtain burners, fireworks (including firecrackers) and burning barrels or burning cages of any size or description were also allowed in the Kamloops and Cariboo fire centres as of noon on Friday, as was the use of tiki torches and chimineas. People wishing to light a campfire must have ready access to eight litres of water or a shovel during the entire time the campfire is lit. They also must completely extinguish the campfire and the ashes must be cold to the touch before they leave the area for any length of time. Although the off-road vehicle prohibition in the Cariboo Kamloops and Southeast fire centres was rescinded on Sept. 20, the public is reminded area restrictions are in effect in the vicinity of some wildfires in these fire centres. To report a wildfire, unattended campfire or open burning violation, call 1-800663-5555 toll-free or *5555 on a cellphone.

Originally slated for an end of summer completion, completion of the project — which will link Grasslands between Woodrush Drive and Cantle Drive and connect Westsyde to Batchelor Heights — is now expected in mid-October. “It’s been a tough project and I feel for the residents,” city capital projects manager Darren Crundwell said. “It’s a very confined area and a lot of construction going on.” He said the delay is largely due to difficulties co-ordinating with BC Hydro, FortisBC and Telus, which all had lines to

Domtar, union sign four-year contract for Kamloops mill CAM FORTEMS STAFF REPORTER cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

The union that signed a four-year deal at Domtar’s Kamloops pulp mill hopes the new contract will pave the way for investments by the corporation. Members of Unifor Local 10b ratified a deal that gives about 250 unionized workers at the Domtar operation raises of two per cent a year. President Rene Pelleriin said it also gives higher incentives to retain trades workers, along with what he called “significant health and welfare increases.” Unifor is targeting operations on a pattern agreement based on a deal signed with Canfor in Prince George. It takes that deal and attempts to implement it at other pulp mills across B.C. Pellerin said the union was told the deal will allow Domtar to make “significant investments over the next two years.” The union said gains made in the agreement are important for the next generation of workers with what it predicts is a coming wave of retirements. In 2012, the corporation announced it would close one of its two pulp lines at the Kamloops mill and lay off 125 workers.

GROCERIES GO DIGITAL

SUPERSTORE OFFERS ONLINE PICKUP SERVICE AMID RETAIL INDUSTRY INNOVATIONS JESSICA WALLACE STAFF REPORTER jessica@kamloopsthisweek.com

JESSICA WALLACE/KTW The Real Canadian Superstore in Kamloops has four new parking stalls out front, designated for customers to pick up groceries and other goods they ordered online. The Kamloops location is one of 150 stores across the country offering the service, which launched in Toronto in 2014.

It’s your money and our reputation. We take both seriously.

new online pickup service at the Real Canadian Superstore reflects a changing retail landscape facing digital disruption. For a fee, Superstore customers can now order groceries and other products online, which are then assembled for pickup at the Sahali location. Senior marketing manager Maija Simpanen called the service, dubbed Click and Collect, a “first-class digital experience” as a result of consumer demands and expectations. “It’s going really well,” Simpanen said. “We definitely can see that customers can appreciate the convenience factor.” Click and Collect launched in the Toronto area in 2014 and Superstore in Kamloops recently joined about 150 Loblaw Companies Limited stores offering the service in Canada. Here’s how it works: Shoppers create an account online, shop for items and choose a time for pickup before driving to the store, parking in a designated stall, calling a phone number and waiting for a staff member to wheel out the order. Simpanen said Click and Collect staff are trained at picking produce and customers can leave notes specifying produce ripeness or other preferences. Traditionally a drive-up service, pedestrians can also pre-order goods. Beyond groceries, most of the store’s products are available, save for Joe Fresh clothing and electronics. The initiative follows other retail innovations disrupting the industry in recent years, such as self checkouts — which are now commonplace in Kamloops grocery stores. In Seattle, Amazon Go is in the beta testing stage to go further, offering “a new kind of store with no checkout required.” The same technology used in self-driving cars is expected to automatically detect which products were taken from a store. “When you’re done, you can just leave the store. Shortly after, we’ll charge your Amazon account and send you a receipt,” reads a description on Amazon’s website.

O’Fee out as IHA board chair CHRISTOPHER FOULDS

KTW EDITOR

editor@kamloopsthisweek.com

John O’Fee says he has no hard feelings after being replaced as chair of the Interior Health board. The new NDP government removed O’Fee as chair on Friday, replacing him with Dr. Doug Cochrane, the chair and provincial patient safety and quality officer of the BC Patient Safety and Quality Council. O’Fee teaches business law at Thompson Rivers University and is a former Kamloops councillor and former CEO of the Tk’emlups Indian Band. He was appointed chair of the IH board less than a year ago, in October 2016, by then-B.C.

Liberal health minister Terry Lake. “[Health Minister] Adrian Dix called me yesterday,” O’Fee told KTW. “We had a good conversation. The minister was very professional. It’s the reality of the position — these are political appointments.” O’Fee was chair of a health organization with a $2.2-billion annual budget and 20,000 employees. He said the move was not surprising and he was expecting such a call. “That’s just what happens,” he said. “Every party does the same thing. The Liberals did exactly the same thing when they came to power, so you can’t be wagging your finger.” Cochrane’s appointment takes effect

immediately. O’Fee, whose annual stipend as chair was about $35,000, will not receive severance pay. “And nor should there be,” he said. In addition to the O’Fee move, Dix has replaced board member Cindy Stewart with Dr. Selena Lawrie, a family physician and site director for the University of British Columbia family practice residency program at Royal Inland Hospital. “They have significant experience in health care and their dedication to their communities will contribute to our goal as a government to provide leadership for a strong public health-care system in British Columbia,” Dix said of the additions to the board.

The changes on the Interior Health board are part of the NDP’s decision this week to replace four chairs and 11 members on health authorities’ boards of directors across B.C. and on the Provincial Health Services Authority. Health authority boards are responsible for the governance and management of health services in the province. They work with health authority leadership to establish the organization’s overall vision and ensure there is appropriate community consultation. Boards also regularly review the organization’s long-term plans, look at significant issues affecting the organization and evaluate results.

Blackwell Dairy hopes plant will rise from ashes in early 2018 CAM FORTEMS

Fire investigators examine the aftermath of a blaze that destroyed the processing plant at Blackwell Dairy in Barnhartvale on June 14.

STAFF REPORTER

cam@kamloopsthisweek.com

Resumption of production at Blackwell Dairy in Barnhartvale is delayed, but its owner has pledged to be packaging milk early in the new year. The dairy’s production plant was destroyed by fire that started shortly before midnight on June 13. The farm’s milk will continue to go to other processors until the plant is rebuilt. “It’s a lot slower than I’d like it to be,” said Ted Blackwell, who soon hopes to have a conceptual plan in his hands. He designed and built the original plant in the early 1980s. The original plan was to have the processing plant complete by the middle of November, but that

timeline has been pushed into the new year. While milk will continue to leave the farm for other processors, the delay means a longer time until Blackwell Dairy-branded product is back on store shelves. At the time of the fire, Blackwell Dairy employed 75 people and had its milk sold in 300 stores. “It was the first time

in 34 years our milk left the farm not in a package,” Blackwell said. He said the push to get the new plant up and running is largely to satisfy consumer habit. He wants Interior consumers to continue to purchase the product, something at risk if it is off shelves for too long. The rebuilt plant will be updated with new technology. Blackwell

KAMLOOPS’ NO. 1 AUTO-BUYERS’ GUIDE

The 2017 Toyota 86 is where new meets old option with its trendy flappy paddles, this option reduces the driver’s edge to the car, and the novelty wears thin after a few hours. I think it would be great if the “track” mode were re-named “86” mode or 80’s mode, removing the interference altogether and making it as close to the original as possible. Weren’t all 80’s cars permanently in track mode all the time?

DAVID CHAO

SPECIAL TO KTW

ith Toyota cancelling the Scion brand — which surprised many of us — the Scion models moved over to the Toyota side of the family for 2017. This isn’t good or bad thing . . . it’s just a different way of managing the brands and frankly, less confusing for the buyers. The Scion never lived up to its promise and consumers were often confused as to what it really stood for anyways. The best news is that the most interesting car in the Scion fleet wasn’t cancelled along with the Scion brand and instead got carried over to Toyota as the 86 — which is the name that was being used elsewhere in the world.

The Toyota 86 represents a nostalgic return to the days of the automaker’s Supra and Celica, but with modern features.

line up. While this tried-and-true design inside and out may not be super exciting it won’t look outdated too soon into the future, thanks to what I call a “classic” coupe look. PERFORMANCE Utilizing the flat, “pancake” boxer engine enabled the engineers to mount the engine low and between the axles. The driver benefits by getting a lower center of gravity and better

handling all around. The 86 is lacking a bit when it comes to pure power — 205 horse power and 156 pound-feet of torque are plenty but could we have squeezed-in just a tad more? Having said that, this Toyota engages the driver with a balanced character with superb ride that’s hard to fault in such a reasonably priced sports car. The 86’s weighted steering synthesizes road feel with accuracy. However the feedback and feel

of the surface is a little numb. A Torsen Limited Slip Differential ensures power to the wheels as needed, especially when traction is in demand. There is a flat spot above 4,000 r.p.m. which makes the car feel more sluggish than it is. Keeping the car in the upper limit with the track mode on evokes the lively 4AGE engine equipped in the 1980s Toyota Corolla Sprinter. Even though most buyers will be attracted to the automatic

THE VERDICT With a price tag starting at $29,580 and going up to $38,680, the 2017 Toyota 86 delivers a lot of fun and emotion to all drivers, not just enthusiasts. This is a car that can make the trip from point A to B far more than just a drive. D#30150

DESIGN The original Scion FRS before it became the Toyota 86 was an important car for enthusiasts. It brought back the front engine and rear wheel drive, as well as the lightweight formula — and at the $30,000 price point. This return to nostalgic platforms from Toyota’s past reignited deep feelings from its followers. With a new front bumper gracing the nose of the 86, its fang-like structure is aggressive and exciting. Full LED headlights come standard, and new 86 badges adorn the fenders and are engraved on the sides of the headlights. On the rear of the vehicle we see this LED usage on the tail lights. The new rear bumper diffuser and the optional spoiler suits the vehicle’s styling, should you decide on this option. With it’s more current and yet timeless look, the updated interior positions the car in Toyota’s new

ENVIRONMENT The interior is appealing in its simplicity and it’s all about driving. Updates include a smaller diameter steering wheel — which we feel suits the size and feel of the car. Audio controls adorn the left side of the steering wheel and the right side is blank. The cruise control switch is on the right side below the paddles. The red stitching and red highlights in the older model have been replaced with a black interior with silver highlighting. Enthusiastic drivers who track the car will appreciate the padded leather cushioning next to the driver’s knee and on the door. The seats are amazing, period, and the continuation of the microsuede from the dash to the doors is a real sweet touch for a kid who grew up watching Group-B Rally. The driver’s position is right on too; legs forward, slight recline and excellent visibility — better than many sports cars costing twice as much. Anyone who says that the center console feels cheap is missing the point.

WOLFPACK SOCCER MEN UNBEATEN IN SEVEN MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

he TRU WolfPack men’s soccer team has put the Canada West on notice. Head coach John Antulov said before the season his charges want to prove they belong at the U Sports Men’s Soccer Championship, which will be held in Kamloops from Nov. 9 to Nov. 12, and are not interested in relying on hostteam status to qualify. Riding a seven-match unbeaten streak, the Pack are among the league’s best and turning heads around the conference, their latest victory a 2-1 triumph over the Saskatchewan Huskies in Saskatoon on Sunday. “We were happy with the win,” Antulov said. “It was one of those ones where we had to really gut it out. We played solid defensively and took advantage of our opportunities. A lot of the guys were tired from the day before.” TRU mustered a 2-2 tie with the Mount Royal Cougars in Calgary on Saturday, despite playing much of the match with nine men, having lost Ryan Glanville to a red card in the 20th minute and Maxime Fieujean to a red card in the 52nd minute. Tallying goals on the weekend for the WolfPack were Fieujean, Justin Donaldson, Jaison Staiger and Jan Pirretas. Alex Ram was between the pipes for TRU in both matches. “Overall, it was a good weekend,” Antulov said. “[I’m] happy with how the guys played. These were two difficult games and we were very happy to get the points and the results.” TRU (4-1-4) is third in the Pacific Division, behind firstplace UBC (5-1-1) and secondplace Trinity Western (5-2-3). UBC Okanagan (3-3-1), UNBC (3-4-3), Victoria (3-5-1) and Fraser Valley ( 2-4-2) round out the division standings. The top four teams in the Pacific and Prairie divisions

qualify for the post-season. TRU will be looking to keep pace with the leaders this weekend in a pair of matches at Hillside Stadium — against Fraser Valley on Saturday and Trinity Western on Sunday, with game time set for noon both days.

Women endure lessons

Pre-season scheduling changes meant the TRU WolfPack women had to wait about three weeks to play a regular season Canada West match on home turf. When home-opening weekend finally arrived, the Pack suffered a pair of lopsided defeats at Hillside Stadium. Conference-leading UBC (6-1) blasted TRU 6-0 on Saturday and second-place Victoria (5-1-1) blanked the Pack 4-0 on Sunday. “We were tired,” WolfPack head coach Kelly Shantz said after the Victoria loss. “We talked about it at half-time. At this level, you have to come out strong. Fitness is fitness. “Sometimes, you have to play two very physical, experienced teams in a 24-hour period. We weren’t prepared for that today. Our thinking was off.” TRU (1-5) sits seventh in the eight-team conference, three points back of sixth-place UNBC (2-4). The top six teams in the division qualify for the playoffs. The WolfPack will play a pair of matches on the road this weekend — against fifth-place Fraser Valley (3-2-1) in Abbotsford on Friday and fourth-place Trinity (4-2) in Langley on Saturday.

Rockets too much for Blazers on weekend MARTY HASTINGS

STAFF REPORTER

sports@kamloopsthisweek.com

Dylan Ferguson whacked the cross bar with his goalie stick after the Kelowna Rockets’ fifth goal at Sandman Centre on Saturday, disgusted with how his team had unravelled. Kelowna scored four unanswered goals in the third period to claim a 5-1 victory over the Kamloops Blazers, whose defeat in their home opener followed a 6-2 loss in the Little Apple on Friday. “It was the type of game we have to play,” Blazers’ head coach Don Hay said. “You’ve got to play with energy and enthusiasm and we had it in spots. “The penalties really took us out of it.” Kamloops defenceman Joe Gatenby scored late in the second period to tie the WHL contest at 1-1, leaving the home team in a great position to take points from a game in which it had been outplayed and outshot.

But the Blazers’ parade to the sin bin — which began in the middle stanza and killed momentum gained in the first 10 minutes of the second period — continued when Nolan Kneen took a penalty 26 seconds after Gatenby’s goal, an interference minor that carried into the third period. “I thought we took some selfish penalties,” Blazers’ 19-yearold forward Luc Smith said. “I’m not pointing fingers. I’m just being honest. That’s how it was tonight.” Jack Cowell’s game winner came two seconds after Kneen’s penalty expired early in the third period. Kamloops was assessed nine penalties, four of them in the third period. Kelowna was 2-for-5 with the man advantage. With the Blazers down 2-1 and searching for an equalizer, 16-year-old Connor Zary was called for interference, an infraction that took the Blazers off

the power play. Cowell’s second goal of the night was scored on the Rockets’ power play that ensued. “What I told the guys was, going into the third period tied, we expect to have success in our building,” Hay said. “We took some really bad penalties and those cost us.” Kelowna forward Kole Lind is making the Vancouver Canucks look smart for drafting him in the summer. The 18-year-old forward from Shaunavon, Sask., registered two goals and five points on Saturday, leaving him with eight points after two games. “They’re still a tough team to play against,” Lind said of the Blazers. “We’re going to see them a lot this year. They work hard. They’re a good, structured team. “There are some things that they can fix and lots we can fix. A lot can change in 72 games.” Rockets’ D-man Cal Foote added a late marker to round out the scoring.

Kelowna (2-0) was backstopped by Brodan Salmond, who made 28 saves to pick up his second victory of the campaign. Ferguson made 27 saves in a losing effort. The crowd of 4,847 — 4,063 was the announced attendance at last year’s home opener — got its first look at a much different, much younger team than the one that posted 42 wins in 2016-2017, a squad that’s missing four of its top five scorers from a season ago. “We’ve got to establish who we are and we haven’t done that,” Hay said. “It’s a work in progress.” Kamloops (0-2) will be searching for its first victory of the season against the Giants (0-2) in Langley on Friday. The Blazers will travel to Vancouver Island to play the Victoria Royals (2-0) on Saturday and Sunday. The Prince George Cougars (0-2) will be in Kamloops to square off against the Blazers on Oct. 4, with puck-drop slated for 7 p.m.

The Bamboo Inn located in The Brock Shopping Centre has been a fixture in Brocklehurst and Kamloops for that matter since 1972. The longest serving restaurant in Kamloops has been dishing some of the tastiest Chinese food to their customers and it's no fluke they've been around so long. Cosmo Li, owner operator and his brother Wilson started their venture in the restaurant business with the idea that North Kamloops needed a Chinese eatery and it proved correct. Cosmo, a Psych nurse at the Tranquille Institution in 1972 and his brother Wilson, a chef from Hong Kong developed a take out only store front that quickly grew into a full service restaurant.

The current location at 1800 Tranquille road is the original location and as Cosmos says "We never mess with success". Bamboo Inn is a 100 seat facility that can also host business, staff, or any function and they have a liquor license. They also cater to large parties with any dietary requirements. Stop in or call and see what you may have been missing. "After 45 years, our food and customer service is proof enough that we're doing something right" Cosmo says.

Raptors talk politics NEIL DAVIDSON

THE CANADIAN PRESS

TORONTO — After speaking out in favour of athletes speaking out, Raptors guard Kyle Lowry paused. “This is a crazy subject. I can go on and on and on about it,’’ said Lowry, who grew up in north Philadelphia. So, too, for fellow Toronto allstar DeMar DeRozan, who hails from hardscrabble Compton, Calif. Like Lowry, DeRozan is now a millionaire many times over. But the money doesn’t erase raw memories. “I’ve had friends killed by police officers,’’ said DeRozan. “A couple days after being at my house, when I was young, and even recently. And it sucks. “Even myself, you could drive a nice car and I’m still being questioned ‘How’d get this car? Do you do this, do you do that?’’’ Basketball took a back seat to politics on Day 1 of Raptors training camp as management and players spent more time talking about President Donald Trump’s searing criticism of NFL player protests than they did the coming NBA season.

In a speech Friday at an Alabama rally, Trump said NFL owners should fire players who protest during the national anthem. Trump’s comments and subsequent tweets prompted swift reaction. As did his decision to retract an invitation to the White House to the NBA champion Golden State Warriors. More NFL players knelt. Others stood and locked arms, with team owners in some instances. The president doubled down Monday with several more tweets. Raptors management wasted little time demonstrating they had their players’ backs. President Masai Ujiri said he’s “110 per cent’’ behind his players. “There’s nobody getting fired here, you can quote me.’’ Coach Dwane Casey, who met with his players Sunday night to discuss the issue, also said he encouraged the Raptors to use their First Amendment rights. He called it unfortunate that people “can even question’’ whether athletes’ have the right to speak out. “And coming from our presi-

dent, it’s hurtful,’’ he said. Casey said he tells his kids and his players that you don’t disrespect your flag or your country — or the office of the presidency. “It stands for something,’’ he said. “But if you feel strongly about something, you have the right to speak up about it,’’ Casey added. Ujiri said while there’s plenty of things about the U.S. that are special, “Canada is a blessing.’’ “I think we’d get to go to two White Houses, right? If we win a championship, hopefully, one day. I think we’ll be fine with (Prime Minister) Justin Trudeau,’’ he said, drawing laughs. DeRozan said Trump had brought a lot of the firestorm on himself and the U.S. “You’ve got your president on Twitter more than a 12-yearold, saying the most outrageous things for people who are just trying to do something right,’’ he said. “It’s crazy.’’ Added Lowry: “That’s just sad, to go on a Twitter rant and to be focusing on smaller things, the smallest topics — a kneeling player . . . and not focus on the social injustices that are going on. It’s bad, it’s really bad.

Trump ‘proud of NASCAR’ DAN GELSTON

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOUDON, N.H. — President Donald Trump lauded NASCAR on Monday because no drivers, crew or team members protested during the national anthem before a weekend race at New Hampshire Motorspeedway. “So proud of NASCAR and its supporters and fans. They won’t put up with disrespecting our Country or our Flag — they said it loud and clear!’’ Trump tweeted Monday. The comments came one day after dozens of NFL players took a knee or otherwise protested during anthems across the country in the wake of Trump suggesting teams should fire them for the gesture, which began last year as a way to raise the focus on social injustice. Several NASCAR team owners and executives said Sunday they

wouldn’t want anyone in their organizations to protest. Richard Childress, who was Dale Earnhardt’s longtime team owner, said of protesting: “It’ll get you a ride on a Greyhound bus.’’ Childress said he told his team that “anybody that works for me should respect the country we live in. So many people gave their lives for it. This is America.’’ Hall of Fame driver Richard Petty’s sentiments took it a step further, saying: “Anybody that don’t stand up for the anthem oughta be out of the country. Period. What got ‘em where they’re at? The United States.’’ When asked if a protester at Richard Petty Motorsports would be fired, he said, “You’re right.’’ RPM team owner Andrew Murstein later told ESPN he “wouldn’t fire someone for

expressing their feelings.’’ “I would sit down with them and say it’s the wrong thing to do that and many people, including myself, view it as an affront to our great country,’’ he said. “Yes, there are problems here, but they are nothing close to the problems in North Korea and other parts of the world. We must come together as Americans and respect everyone and everything, especially our flag which is still the symbol of the United States, the greatest country in the world.’’ Dale Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR’s most popular driver who will retire at the end of the season, tweeted Monday in support of peaceful protest. “All Americans R granted rights 2 peaceful protests. Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable-JFK,’’ he wrote.

CHRISTMAS PARTY

Creating that stress-free holiday gathering

s the temperatures drop, we all spend more time inside. The transition from backyard barbecues to indoor dinner parties has begun. Follow these simple steps to host a successful dinner party guests will be talking about later” • Create your very own centrepiece for the table. Use holiday-themed pieces in transparent vases to add décor detail to the party. These can be reused and you’ll be sure to get compliments. • Try to make everything as far in advance as possible. The moments before the doorbell rings are precious and you could spend your time doing one last tidy. • Light some candles. The atmosphere can make or break a dinner party, but the right ambiance doesn’t have to be extravagant. Candles are inexpensive and readily available. If you’re not into real candles, there are many artificial versions available. • Create a stress-free kitchen. Make sure the dishwasher is completely empty and the trash has been taken out before the party begins. That way, you can load the dishwasher as you go and don’t have to worry about a full trash can and extra garbage accumulating. — Metro Creative

Freeing up space at home People who live in compact homes or apartments may find space is at a premium during regular times of the year. When the holidays arrive, decorations, trees and presents can make homes seem even more cluttered. This can make it especially challenging for holiday hosts who want to open up their homes for festive gatherings. Even if space is at a premium, all it takes is a little ingenuity to entertain successfully: • Put non-essential furniture and other decor away. It’s impossible for would-be holiday hosts to move all of their belongings out of their homes to create entertaining space. But hosts can certainly cut down on clutter. Check out the flow of a room and then move pieces around as needed to open up floor space. Push tables or large pieces of furniture up against walls. Swap out armchairs for folding chairs. Stow knickknacks in bedrooms or in closets. • Put benches and wide ledges to use. Narrow benches, such as those common to picnic tables, can seat three or four comfortably. Do not discount deep window ledges as potential seats, as these areas can be made more comfortable with pillows or cushions. • Collapse tables after meals. If a sit-down dinner is the goal, set up tables accordingly. Then break down the tables after-

Use islands to prep food, thereby creating space elsewhere to entertain.

ward to free up more space. Serve small desserts that can be easily transported from room to room. • Use islands and countertops. Tables can take up valuable space. When entertaining a lot of guests, set up an all-purpose counter island and add barstools. This can be an area for food prep,

eating and entertaining. • Create conversation areas. Encourage guests to spread out by setting up intimate spots in various rooms. This way, guests won’t feel the need to congregate in the same space. Bistro tables in a den, a few floor pillows in front of the fireplace and stools by a kitchen island will create conversation areas. • Expand outside, if possible. Rent a tent that can be warmed with a space heater. If your home has a closed-in porch or patio space, cover screens with insulating plastic to create a comfortable added room. • Skip a sit-down meal. Large tables take up a lot of space, so serve a buffet, tapas or passed hors d’oeuvres so guests mix and mingle rather than sit down at one large table. • Use all available surfaces. Invest in some sturdy serving trays that can be placed on television stands, upright speakers, ottomans, or even wooden crates. This will increase the amount of room you have to serve and store items. • Spread out refreshments. Avoid bottlenecks in common areas by putting food, beverages and other items in various locations. Fill up the kitchen sink with ice and make it an oversized beverage cooler. – Metro Creative

Obituaries & In Memoriam William Richard Doyle It is with deep sorrow that we announce the passing of our beloved Father and Grandfather during the early morning hours of September 8, 2017. Dad passed away peacefully at home as he wished following a year-long battle with esophageal cancer. Dad was born in Islay, Alberta on May 11, 1936. He is survived by his children Brent (Karina), Dawn (Delano) and Michael (Reta) and their Mother Adeline together with his grandchildren Bradley, Kelsey, Paige Jillian and their mother Nancy, Joseph, Tyler and Paige Cory and greatgrandchildren Khloe, Maria, Jaxen and Bradley. Dad is also survived by his sisters Eileen and Amy and brother Pat. He was predeceased by his parents Bill and Dorothy Doyle and his oldest sister Donna and her husband Bruce. Dad and Mom met in Pouce Coupe, BC and their first year of marriage was spent in the wilds of Dease Lake, BC where Dad worked for Bruce Rome Construction on the construction of Highway 37 from the Alaska Highway to Dease Lake where he met his best friend for life Don Stamer. Brent was born in Lower Post at the residential school infirmary, as hospitals were few and far between. Dawn was born the following year in Fort Nelson as this had become Bruce Rome’s base of operation as it was the access point to the rivers which was the transportation route into the north. There were no roads, other than in the winter when the ground was frozen. Michael was the last to arrive. He was also born in Fort Nelson. Dad later became a partner in Bruce Rome Construction, which worked all over the north, including the high arctic constructing the early warning defense system (Dew Line). They grew to be one of the largest barging companies to run the Mackenzie River. They were purchased by Bralorne Resources and eventually bought out by foreign players. Richard, didn’t want to work for a large company and chose to be bought out and start his own company along with Ev Larson, they built a successful construction

company, Kledo Construction Ltd. Kledo Construction continues today as a family-run company with second and third generation Doyles.

In Loving Memory of

Dad was an entrepreneur and went on to form another company called Coal River Maintenance, which maintained the Alaska Highway. He loved this group of people he partnered with. Ev Cantlon and Ben Parker, as well as his other partner Ev Larson. He also started an airplane company with Glen Gullackson, who was Bruce Rome’s pilot. The company was known as Glen Air.

June 13, 1957 - September 26, 2016

Dad retired at the young age of 55. He spent some time in Vancouver, Kamloops and Calgary but after a few years he wanted to see the world not as a tourist but as an expat. He moved to Beirut where his good friend, Andrew Schuck (an exmayor and lawyer in Ft. Nelson) had relocated. Using Beirut as his base Dad travelled to most of the Middle Eastern countries. When the civil wars started to escalate he moved on to South Africa and then Australia. He spent a short period of time in New Zealand but found it a little too cold for his taste. Dad found his paradise in Costa Rica where he wintered for the past 17 years. His contentment was found in the little fishing village of Sonoma where he met Mayela and was embraced with love by the Costa Rican people. Through his sickness all he wanted was to go back and sit in the sun. Our families were lucky enough to spend our summers during the past 25 years at our cottage on Shuswap Lake. Dad worked tirelessly maintaining the cottage so that his family could come and enjoy the beauty of the lake. Dad’s final year was spent at his home in White Rock where his life-long friend Don Stamer was a daily visitor. A Memorial Service will be held in Fort Nelson in October. Dad’s urn will be interred in the Doyle Family plot in Calgary on his birthday in May. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Cancer Society in Richard’s memory would be appreciated. REST IN PEACE DAD – you will be forever missed and loved.

No one knows how much we miss you No one knows the bitter pain We have suffered since we lost you Life has never been the same. Always so good, unselfish and kind Few on this earth his equal we find Honorable and upright in all his ways Loyal and true to the end of his days. In our hearts your memory lingers Sweetly tender, fond and true There is not a minute, an hour, a day goes by That we do not think of you. Forever Missed Forever Remembered Forever Loved

In Loving Memory

Frances Marie Rogliano (nee D’Amore)

It is with deep sadness that the family announces the passing of Frances Marie Rogliano. Frances passed away peacefully on Wednesday, September 20, 2017 at the age of 85. A wonderful wife, mother, nana; she will be forever remembered, loved and sadly missed. Left to cherish her memory are her three daughters Maria-Rosa (David) Mulligan, Linda (Tim) Hutton and Angela Kinney, her seven grandchildren Eric and Kevin Mulligan, Jodi and Kyle Hutton and Landon, Dane and Emerson Kinney. She is also survived by her sister Josephine Laskodi and her brother Tony D’Amore. Frances will also be lovingly remembered by numerous nieces and nephews in Canada, the United States and Italy.

I am the sound of the birds, The whispering in the trees. The gentle silence after a storm, And the warm summer breeze. I am the stars in the sky at night, I’m those thoughts in your head that say something’s right. I hold your hand when you’re feeling low, Although I get the feeling you just don’t know. I did not die I am still here. I’m that gentle voice Within your ear.

You live on in us. Love your family.

Frances will be reunited with her husband Tony who passed in June of 2014 after 50 years of marriage. She was also predeceased by her parents Anthony and Mary D’Amore, her brother Paul D’Amore, brother-inlaw Mario Muoio and sisters-in-law Marie D’Amore and Beverly D’Amore. Frances was born in Donora, Pennsylvania on January 24, 1932. Growing up, she enjoyed many days at D’Amore’s, her family owned groceteria. She lost her father at the early age of sixteen; shortly after her family moved to Dearborn, Michigan. As a young woman, Frances worked as a bookkeeper in the administration office for Hudson’s retail department store in Detroit. Frances and Tony were married on December 28, 1963 in Dearborn after a long-distance courtship. She left her hometown and together they settled in Kamloops where they raised their three daughters. One of her greatest gifts to her family was her gift of time. She was a loving and devoted mother who was always ready to lend an ear, share her knowledge and instill lifelong values. Mom was an amazing homemaker who delighted in baking and cooking for her family and she took satisfaction in canning the abundance of fruits and vegetables from the family

garden. She looked forward to the daily crosswords in the newspaper and playing bingo, card games and bowling with her family and friends from The Hamlets. Above all, her grandchildren were her greatest pride and joy. They were sure to bring a smile to her face as she welcomed them with open arms, her playful spirit and a bowl full of candy. Mom was a friendly, strong and resilient woman with a positive attitude and a quick sense of humor. All those who knew her have been deeply touched by her care, love and kindness and she will be sadly missed. The family would like to express our deep appreciation for the wonderful care provided to our mom by her family physician Dr. Martin Howie, as well as Dr. Stinson and Dr. Montgomery and the nursing staff at Royal Inland Hospital. Many special thanks to the recreation team, care aides and nurses at the The Hamlets at Westsyde for their exceptional care over the last 10 years.

Should friends desire, donations to the Royal Inland Hospital Foundation, 311 Columbia Street, Kamloops, BC V2C 2T1 would be appreciated in memory of Frances. We love you and we will remember you always! Condolences may be expressed at www.schoeningfuneralservice.com Schoenings Funeral Service 250-374-1454

Pennies

From Heaven

by Charles L. Mashburn I found a penny today, Just laying on the ground But it’s not just a penny,

Cork is survived by his wife and best friend of 58 years Willie, daughter Lynn (Randy) Sunderman, grandchildren Josh and Mary, brothers Mal (Dot), Tom (Barb), Vic (Diana), Ken (Donna), sisters Marj (Wayne) and Patsy (John); sister-in-law Mona and numerous nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his parents Madge and Morley, son Randy, brother Norm “Butch”, sister Rose and brothers-in-law Grant and Bill.

This little coin I’ve found. “Found” pennies come from heaven, That’s what my Grandpa told me He said angels toss them down; Oh, how I loved that story.

Cork was born on May 22, 1933 in Last Lake, Alberta. He moved with his family to Kamloops in 1948. Cork worked in sawmills, tended bar in local hotels and drove trucks for Pacific Brewery Distributors. He loved the great outdoors and was a hunting, camping and fishing enthusiast. Cork was very proud of getting his small plane flying license while in his early fifties. His favourite colour was anything plaid, so in honour of Cork, the family requests that guests wear something plaid at the Celebration of Life. The Celebration of Life will be held at the Desert Gardens at 540 Seymour Street in Kamloops on Sunday, October 1, 2017 at 10:30 am.

Scorpio, just when you think you can lie low and escape the week without any excitement, something pops up that requires all of your attention. Hunker down for now.

LETHAL DRUGS ARE out there

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. Learn about treatment, and where to ﬁnd naloxone and overdose prevention sites in your area by calling 8-1-1 or visiting www.gov.bc.ca/overdose. Your knowledge, compassion and action can save a life.
